Attaching Messages To Photos

I'm in the process of scanning family photos onto my imac. On the back of the photos is information on who's who, or where it was taken, and so on. How can I get that information attached to each individual photo? I know in iphoto, over to the bottom left, there is an information window where you can add comments to each photo, but if I move the photo off iphoto, such as to put them on a CD, the comments disappear. Is there any way to keep the comments with the photos when you move them off iphoto?

When I highlight a photo and go to File>Import, this is what I see:
[IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/2rgc68o.png[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/212681f.png[/IMG]
I don't see "Title and Keywords". I'm using Tiger and iphoto 06. Is there something different in iphoto 08 or 09?
I do see that you can put information like "Grandpa Hannes and Aunt Annie in Westside, 1948" in the title, and it will follow the photo on to a CD, but I have some family reunion photos with 20-30 people in them that I would like to identify along with the photo, and the "Title" is limited to the amount of text you can put in there. Is there a way to attach unlimted (or at least enough for what I need) text to a photo?

  • Attachment feature locks up often preventing attachment of text, photos, etc.

    Attachment feature in email locks up in Firefox only. It happens after allowing one or more attachments sometimes and other times it happens on the first attempt to attach a doc, photo, etc. It does not happen with Internet Explorer so I often have to switch to it when attaching items. The size of the attachment doesn't seem to matter. I have used yahoo email for many years and have never had this problem with other browsers. I have the latest version of Firefox and have had this problem with the last 2 or 3 versions.

    I can replicate the problem when I use the Attachments button and choose the Skydrive tab. For some reason, Microsoft is setting the width of the typed-in message text to 0, and I guess Firefox is stretching that to allow up to the width of one word.
    I can't fix Hotmail, but I can give you a hack that resets the width (and height) to auto. You would run this after attaching the images, by clicking a button on your Bookmarks Toolbar.
    (1) Copy the following line of code:
    <br>javascript:var msgText = document.getElementById("appFrame").contentDocument.getElementById("contentFrame").contentDocument.getElementById("RichTextEditor_surface").contentDocument.getElementById("ecx_rte_preskyattach"); msgText.style.height = "auto"; msgText.style.width = "auto"; void 0;
    (2) Right-click the Bookmarks Toolbar and choose New Bookmark
    ''If you do not normally display this toolbar, you can toggle it on using the View menu (Alt+v) or by right-clicking a blank area of the tab bar or menu bar''
    (3) Paste the code in as the Location
    (4) Name the bookmark as you wish (for example, FixHotmail)
    Something more permanent could be created, but hopefully Microsoft will fix this and save us the trouble.

  • HT3386 How do i attach mail/send photo's from my iPhoto page

    I am having trouble attaching some wedding photo's and sending them to friends from my iphoto page

    Johng Mun,
    In Mail, use Window > Photo Browser to display your iPhoto content.
    Begin a new Mail message and Drag the photos you want from the Photo Browser to the mail message.

  • HT2500 How do I attach my personal photo in the upper right hand corner of the emails I send out?

    hello - How do I attach my personal photo in the upper right hand corner of the emails I send out?

    The photos displayed by Mail.app are retrieved from the contents of your address book; from your contacts.
    The photos are local to Mail.app, and are not sent out as part of the messages.

  • Why can't I attach documents and photos to my outgoing emails in Windows live hotmail

    Ever since the new version of Windows live hotmail has been downloaded on my computer, the only way I can attach documents and photos to outgoing emails is thru Internet explorer without any add ons and even this was not easy. I used to be able to attach with no problems and now I cannot and I really need to be able to do this. I send alot of emails with attachments. Every time I try to attach a document it gives me an error message. It just says error nothing else. Please help!!!!

    Hi
    Pages saves its files as a small package, not a single file. You will have to compress it first (think it's called Create Archive but can't be sure). You could do File>Export & choose .doc which would save it as a Word document & then attach it to the email (some formatting may be lost).

  • Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported.  Do you want to import it?  Yes or No"  Any suggestions?

    Every time I open Iphoto I get the following message:  "A photo has been found in the Iphoto library that was not imported.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Quit iPhoto and to to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) - right click (control click) on it and select show package contents - find the folder named import (on importing) and drag it to the desktop - DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES - launch iPhoto and you will be fine.
    Open the import(ing) folder and if there is nothing in it that you need move it to the trash and empty the trash

  • IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only.  It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

    I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

    Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
    If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  and iPhoto will not open????

    After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

    , can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
    You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
    Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
    If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

  • Messages and Photo Booth not working properly

    I've been having a problem with my Messages and Photo Booth applications, as well as a bunch of other Apple applications.
    Messages won't let me switch conversations, Photo Booth won't let me click the video recording option, iMovie just won't work and GarageBand won't let me edit compositions. I've tried restarting my computer, but that didn't help (although my computer ran faster).
    I also can't close the application without having to actually quit the application instead of clicking the x button.
    Help would be gladly appreciated!

    You can also try setting up another user account.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  • Suddenly iPhoto gives me the error message "your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable".  HELP

    Suddenly iphoto gives me error message 'your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable'.  What can I do?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
