Calendar layout problem using iPhoto 09

With the 6 photo layout option the largest photo started out as a vertical, just like the menu selection suggests. However, after replacing some of the other photos, the desired vertical became a horizontal. The actual image requires the portrait style (vertical), but we cannot get it back. Can anyone offer suggestions how to return that photo to a vertical?

it probably depends on the order you place the photos - see liz Castro's web site for a general discussion - http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.OriginalOrientation - probably the only way is to experiment

Problems using iPhoto on an iBook G3

I have an iBook G3 with OSX 10.4.2. Frequently (two times!) it start erasing all the icons of my library of photographs, then, if I recharge the pictures in the library, I can see the icons again but near of it there is an "empty" icon with the same name. What happens? Maybe the G3 doesn't support the OSX or iPhoto 5? Thank you.

Valerio:
Did you rename or move any files/folder within the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder?
If the library rebuilding by iPhoto doesn't help try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library by copying the files and necessary data from the old library. This will create a new database file which may be damaged in you current library and causing the problem. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Good luck. Post back if this doesn't help and we can work out a workflow to create a new library from the original files in your current one.
Do you Twango?
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.

Problems using iPhoto via Screen Sharing

To deal with our family's ever-growing photo library, I bought a new Mac Mini with a jumbo hard drive. For now, I want to run this as a headless server so that whoever wants to can work with the photo library from whichever of our other Macs is handy, so I've set it up with Screen Sharing.
So far so good, I've copied the iPhoto library there and things seem to work well except for one important detail: When I try to see/edit the detail of any photo, I just get a black screen! Or rather, the iPhoto window contains a big black rectangle where the photo should be. If I touch the zoom control, the navigation mini-view shows up correctly, but I still can't see the picture itself. Oddly enough, if I look at the detail of a video, I can see the first frame (but no more than that, the "play" button doesn't do anything).
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 on both machines, iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) on the server.
I realize that I can access the photo library directly from iPhoto on the "client" using iPhoto's built-in sharing mechanism, but that won't give me full control of the remote photo library.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Do you see the same if you're working directly on the Mini? Do you see anything in the middle of the black screen? Maybe something like this:
Click to view full size
If so then that's an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken.
So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
NOTE: You do know that you can connect an external HD to the Mini and let the other computer log into it and access the library on the EHD for full access to the photos, right? However, doing so wirelessly is dangerous due to dropouts that can occur and if they do while the library's database file is being written to the database can be damaged. So if you're wirelessly connected between the two Macs screen sharing would be the safest way to go. If you're wired then the other method would be optimal.

Problems Using iPhoto 11 9.4.2 OSX 10.8.2

1.     Why do photos emailed from iPhoto turn up in my 'inbox' instead of in my 'sent' box in mail?
2.     If you misstype your password/username when sending images from iPhoto, it will not allow you to try again.
3.     If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on Edit, nothing happens - no tools.   If you go to iPhoto in top bar and to Edit, again there is nothing you can use to edit with.
4.     Will Apple fix iPhoto so that you can save images directly to iPhoto from emails?
We will start with the above 4 problems.

1.     Why do photos emailed from iPhoto turn up in my 'inbox' instead of in my 'sent' box in mail?
because you are not using mail as your e-mail client - you are using iPhoto - if yo want mail (thich I personally recommend) set it as the email client in the iPhoto preferences
2.     If you misstype your password/username when sending images from iPhoto, it will not allow you to try again.
when using iPhoto as the email client iPhoto preferences ==> accounts
3.     If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on Edit, nothing happens - no tools.   If you go to iPhoto in top bar and to Edit, again there is nothing you can use to edit with.
if you open an event, double click a photo to enlaege it and click on edit in the menu bar at the bottom exactly what happens?
4.     Will Apple fix iPhoto so that you can save images directly to iPhoto from emails?
no one here has any idea what Apple will do and under the TOU for this forum fobid speculation on Apple policies

E71 Calendar synchronisation problems using MFE

Hello All,
I have a E71 and I am experiencing problems using MFE. The connection to the server appears fine until calendar attempts to synchronise, at which point the log reports 'sync died (130)' Email and Contacts sync automatically
however if I attempt to add calendar to the sync schedule the connection just dies. I have included an extract of the report log:-

I have installed the latest MFE 2.9.158 and rest the device a number of times, but I still have the same problem
For info syncing on an MS Push email (same account) appears fine.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Have you checked in Settings>General>Date & Time to make sure 24 hr time is turned off?

Anyone have a problem using iPhoto "change date of photo" function?

I imported some old photos today and need to sent the time on them. I selected the photos and used the "Change date of photo" function. It worked fine on the first set. I tried adjust a second set and that's where problem began. I needed to change the date from 01-01-2002 to the correct date of 05-28-2004. I photo instead set the date to somewhere in 1989. I thought I must have typed the date wrong. So I selected the photos and tried again. Nope, it wasn't me. The date on the photos was set back to some time in 1983. I tried several more time... Well, lets just say I have photos dated in the 1700's..

I had searched the forum and could not find anything. Maybe someone knows where is is.
I fixed the photos the "brute force" way.
I deleted them from the library.
Changed the date on the files on a different computer and imported them again.
However this seam like a crap way to fix a iPhoto issue.
I hope that I don't need to fix the time on any more photos..
Clarence.

My problem using iPhoto Having the horizontal lines going through the photo when printing of a website

My problem is using the I Photo and printing a picture with horizontal lines going through it

Your topic title and topic content are a bit confusing? Are you printing a website page? That would be thru Safari or other browser.
Or is a photo from a website? If so how was it imported into iPhoto?
Also what system and iPhoto version are your running?
Does the photo print correctly from Preview or other application?
What's the pixel dimensions of the image?
How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

(1) Calendar sync. problem using Chapura 3.1.2: (2) Can I sync more that one calendar in Outlook?

A few items do not sync onto my Visor Prism (Palm 4.0.1 OS) calendar from my desktop computer (XP) Outlook (version 2003). It is listed as "Unknown Error (FFFF)" in the HotSync Log. Using Chapura 3.1.2. Any ideas???
Also, can these versions be set to sync more than one Outlook calendar???
Post relates to: Visor Prism

I am uncertain if Chapura makes products that allow for syncing to multiple Outlook calendars that are compatible with a device as old as the Visor. Best if you inquire with them directly.

Problem using iPhoto via NAS from 2 computers

I have an iPhoto library stored on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive on my home wireless LAN. My wife and I each have a MacBook that we use to open the library from the NAS. I recently added some photos to the library using my MacBook. When I open the same library from my wife's MacBook, I cannot see all of the photos. In fact, the list of Events that you see when I open the library from my MacBook is very different from what we see when we open the same library from her MacBook. When I open it I can see 497 photos, but when she opens it we can only see 70 photos.
Can anyone help with this issue? Thank you!!

would I be able to use the photos across the network?
What do you mean by “use”? Certainly wireless is perfectly good for viewing another Library via iPhoto Sharing.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and move to the other machine. There, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both machines for this to work.
If, however, you want the other two machines to have full access - i.e. Ownership - of the Library, then bluntly, I would not trust my iPhoto Library on a wireless connection.

Grid abck layout problem using swing components

this my code for grid bag layout but when i run this code it is showing only empty panel..no components..
of course iam not posting entire code of tis class..because it is lenghty..
regards,
sam

Well, you set JPanel ja's layout to GridBagLayout, but it appears your adding the components to the parent, eg. add(j) should be ja.add(j) if you want it on JPanel ja. This is true for all your component adds.
By the you can combine the setConstraints( ) and add calls: ja.add(j, bgc);
Hope that helps.
Cheers

IPhoto Calendar Layout does not match preview

When I am selecting a Calendar layout to use, the chose of layout I have for 3 photos and 6 photos does not match what actually shows on the screen. When I go to select my layout, the choices are to have a big photo on top and a two little ones on the bottom. The main choice of this is whether to have text on the bottom or nothing. However, when I select it shows one big photo on the left and two little photos on the left. For the six photo the choice is to have a big photo along the bottom, a medium photo in the top left quadrant, and 4 small photos in the upper right quadrant. However, after I make my selection it shows one big tall photo on the left, one medium photo in the bottom right quadrant and then 4 small photos in the upper right quadrant. The layouts I want are what is displays on the layouts button.
Does anyone have this same problem>

Some layouts in books and calendars change based on what photos you place - and the order you place them - some do not change -- for calendars you just have to experiment - for books Liz Castro has documented how they work for you - http://www.lizcastro.com/iphotobookthemes/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage

IPhoto calendar ordering problems

Hi all,
I have been having serious problems ordering an iPhoto calendar.
First, I ordered it on Monday using express shipping, such that it should have arrived by Friday, and instead on Friday I got a cryptic email saying "Apple is unable to process your order and you will not be charged. We recommend updating your software, previewing your print product in iPhoto or Aperture, and placing the order again." (My iPhoto is fully updated and I've ordered calendars before with no problem.) I spent about 30 very frustrating minutes on the phone with Apple (worst customer service experience I've had with them) trying to get an explanation, but got none, and ultimately they told me I should re-place it and they'd give me free overnight shipping when they saw my order (nice enough...).
I'm now trying to re-order and am repeatedly getting the message "Your credit card information could not be verified at this time," no matter the card I use. Has anyone had either of these problems? Any advice? I am loathe to get on the phone with Apple again given the number of times it took to even reach someone who knew anything about print products.
I'm at the point of dropping Apple's print products entirely and going with another provider in the future. The ease of using iPhoto to make calendars is totally outweighed by this ordering and shipping ridiculousness...
Thanks for any suggestions!

Jianming:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Contact Apple via this link: http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/customerservice/calendars/. Lay out the problem in detail and submit. You should hear back from them in 1-2 days.
Also log into your account thru the Store button at the top and then the Youre Account on that page, as opposed thru iPhoto, and see if you can confirm your account that way without an error.

I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

What do you not understand?
You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
Or
However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

I'm using iPhoto 11, and instead of seeing my images in the main view, I see only outlines. (Had same problem in iPhoto 10 before upgrade to Lion Help!
I'm on a Macbook Pro and all of my software is up-to-date.
The photos and events, etc. appear to be present in my photo library, but I cannot see the actual images--only an outlined placeholder.

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 rebuild the thumbnails. This can take 3 or 4 goes to work.

Do I use iPhoto 08 for Calendars, books, et al?

Hi guys,
I just now (talk about late to the party) realized that Apple offers services to make calendars, photo books, b-day invites and other stuff.
My question is, do I use iPhoto 08 (don't have it yet) to make these items? If so, are there templates?
I bought iWork08 thinking Pages was the program to do the stuff, but guess I'm wrong.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks guys!
Looks like I'll be buying iLife08 this week.
Can't wait.
