Automatic detection of portrait photos

Since my upgrade to iLife'08, iPhoto no longer rotates automatically my portrait pictures when I import them from the camera. It always worked perfectly with iPhoto 6. Observed with both a Canon IXUS 750 and a 800.
The funny thing is it works for some pictures.
My portrait pictures are perfectly vertical, the camera has no doubt about it, it's an iPhoto issue, not a camera problem.
Thanks!

akim:
The auto-rotate with a Canon camera is working OK for me. First rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
Happy New Year
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to merge the libraries

If you are missing using google maps - try the Nokia map app called "here"

Is there a way to detect all the photos already transferred to double (or triple) in iPhoto, so do not occupy space unnecessarily? Thank you from France.

Look in you main photo library. Are there doubles or triple photos there? If so delete the extras.
All photos are stored in the photo library. When you move a photo into an album the photo is not duplicated. The album contains a pointer back to the original photos. These pointers or aliases take up very little space.

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

Portrait photos will not sync to iPod Touch!

Hello-
When I recently synced my iPhoto library to my 1st generation iPod Touch, it would not sync SOME recent portrait-orientation photos. The photos not synced appeared to be only very recent ones (within the last week or so). Older events and imports had their portrait photos synced. Please help!

Plug in you iPT to your computer. Via iTunes, your iPod device -> click the Photos tab. See which iPhoto folder you are syncing with. It may not be including your Last Imported folder.

Cannot update iPod software even after setting automatic detection

Hi, I've been trying to update the software on my 5th gen iPod but to no avail. I've recently bought the pod and just installed iTunes. It informed me that an update was available for the iPod but I can't get it! Everytime I click on Update in the Version section on iTunes, it says "iTunes could not contact the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet....Make sure you internet connection is active and try again". The connection is active and i've even tried the method in the hot topics support section telling you to go to 'LAN settings' under the 'Connections' tab in Internet Options and under Automatic Configuration, set it to 'Automatically Detect settings' but this has still not worked. Can someone please help me as this is doing my head in?!!!

yea... something like that is happening to me... when i try to update it (with itunes 7) it says that my firmware is "corrupt".... i dont know what this means because it had no problem updating b4... and no i didnt try to put linux or anything on it. it just wont update.
and if anyone knows.... y does my itunes symbol look like a picture with a camera in the corner... i just downloaded itunes 7 to my friend's computer and it looks just like last itunes but instead of a green music note infront of a cd... its a blue music note infront of a cd... and when i plugged my ipod into his computer it said that my ipod is up to date.... y is that?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. Iphoto only crops it landscape and therefore cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this?

I am trying to crop a portrait photo into 6x4 portrait ready for printing. I am using Iphoto on a Macbook Pro. Everytime I try and crop the photo, it crops in Landscape which cuts out most of the photo. Is there any way of resolving this? I am new to Macs as I am currently switching from MS. It is very easy to do this in MS photo editor so I can't believe it can't be easily done in Iphoto!

These are the two steps that Larry describes:

TS3989 Photos are ok in aperture and iphoto but in photostream on ipad and iphone the top of all portrait photos is chopped off. I tried switching photostream off and on but got the same. Only happened with photos added today, all past photos are fine

I have never had any problems before but all portrait photos added today have the top chopped off. For example , people's heads are missing or roofs or buildings are chopped off. Photos are fine on the camera and on my mac in iphoto and aperture. Switched off photostream on my ipad...all photos were deleted. Switched photostream back on and all photos uploaded again and portrait photos are cropped again

It sounds like while trying to import the photos with insufficient disk space those image files were damaged and not copied fully. Now that you have sufficient space (a minimum of 10 GB is recommended) the latest imports are good.
What do you get if you export one of the problem photos out of iPhoto as Kind=Original and try to open it with Preview. If it appears the same then there's nothing you can to do recover them.

IPhoto won't display my portrait photos. Help please!

I haven't had this problem until recently.
I import photos into iPhoto from my Nikon D90 via SD Card slot in my macbookpro and I have been having this problem.
All the portrait photos that are imported display a blank black image on the overview and even when i open the file. However, when i click "edit" in iphoto, it then appears. By editing it or just making some kind of change and reverting to original, the file is then corrected and displays correctly. Or else it just remains black and I can't upload them to facebook, flickr etc.
Please help me with this problem

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How to automatically detect server ip address

does any one know how to automatically detect an ip address of a server from the client with a socket based connection ?
instead of prompting the client to connect to the server ip address which is trouble some.

You must start with some initial information and a known environment.
There are several possibilities after that.
- The server has a 'name'. This is not an ip address but a name like "yahoo.com". When you connect using that, even if the IP changes, the correct IP will be returned. (At least ignoring an annoying bug in some VMs)
- A specific IP address
- Use a methodoly to 'request' a server address. One version of this is to use a UDP broadcast another version uses a service manager (which itself must be found.)

Portrait Photos don't show in Slideshows...

Okay, so I was making a Slideshow to send to iDVD when I noticed that while previewing the show, none of my portrait photos were showing up. The landscapes, however, were OK. After going back to the portraits, I saw that for every single portrait, a gray box with an exclamation point took the place of the photo. I tried remaking the slideshow many times, but I always got this error. What's going on and how can I fix this?

That is a very likely cause for the issue you're having, yes.
Using iPhoto Diet to tamper with the iPhoto Library Folder is not a recommended activity. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
If space is an issue then the best solution is to use a firewire external HD and run your library from there.
If you don't want - or need - version control (the ability to revert to the original image) then my best advice is to use another Photo Organiser. Version Control is at the heart of iPhoto and trying to defeat it is - as you're discovering - a risky business.

HT201335 I'm thinking of getting apple tv...I have an HD tv. will the apple tv automatically detect my wifi or does it require more to use apple tv?

Hi ronda
I am not sure what you mean by "automatically". It will find your network but you will need to enter your password, assuming you have your WiFI protected.

How do I stop iphoto from creating events automatically when I import photos from an external hard drive?

IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?

You don't have a problem at all.
IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
go to finder>all images
Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
I try to delete the extra copies
Then you are trashing your Library.
So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.

TD
