Can I convert a book made in iPhoto to a quicktime movie for the web?

Hi,
Please help, I have a great book that I have made in iPhoto and had printed but would like to post it to my mac website for people to be able to view with all the photos, titles, and audio. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Jim

James:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are two ways you can do that.
While in the book mode, do a Print to PDF in the Print window but select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. This will start an Automator process that converts each page to a jpg file and imports it into a user determined album in iPhoto. NOTE: when the process is complete and it's time for you to name or select an album a window will be presented. BUT if often stays behind the other windows and you'll think the process has failed. So make sure you can hide the other windows if it doesn't present itself to you. It took me several tries before I realized what was happening.
Once the pages are in iPHoto as separate files, you can try:
1 - put them in an album and add to an iWeb photo page where they can be viewed individually or as a slideshow.
2 - create a slideshow in iPHoto, export to Quicktime and post that QT movie file to an iWeb page.
3 - create an iDVD project, add a slideshow and import the stills into iDVD to create a slideshow with music. A great gift to go along with a book. This method is explained in Tutorial #6.
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.
I've written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can I transfer a book, made in iphoto, to a different computer so that I can order it?

    I created a book in iPhoto 08 and when I click the "buy" button a "connecting" pop-up appears but nothing ever happens after that. It just remains semi-frozen. I've left it open for hours with no change. My internet connection appears to be strong and my one click purchasing is enabled. Can I export my book to another computer with a more current version of iPhoto...and would that be a solution?
    Please help.

    Probably not
    What version of iPhoto do you have? What version does the other computer have?
    The only way to "move" a book is to move the iPhoto library intact - When you move to a newer version the library must be upgraded and this may invalidate or change the book - you may want to make a special "archive" library for jus tthe book to make this easier - see Old Toad's Tutorial #9 for more information.
    Have you previewed the book? 
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    have your backedup and repaired or rebuilt your library?

  • Can't view Quicktime Movies on the web

    this is what im trying to view
    http://www.solent.ac.uk/360/hamwic_bedroom.html
    it worked a while back but not now, now i get the light blue logo with the question mark
    cant change file types in preferences they are not greyed out they dont even show as a list, it says programatically set
    i found qtp whatever it was in regedit changed everything to full control
    moved quicktime .xml file onto desktop from apple computer folder
    uninstalled and installed quicktime a few times
    tried with ie8 google chrome and cometbird
    no luck
    quicktime is terrible, i dont know why so many things on the web need it to play, they may as well ask notepad to open the files.
    cheers

    I'm having the exact same problem... Don't know when but IE and Firefox are refusing to play quicktime files. I can run the quicktime player and play MP3 and MOV files (which is what I normally do) but nothing is playing from the browser.
    I've tried pretty much everything I can think of... in the end, QuickTime is not showing up under Set Default Programs or Set Program Associations (via QuickTime Preferences->Browser->MIME Settings or File Types).
    I can install QT-Lite, and everything works for the browser... except now I don't have a standalone player that plays MP3 and MOV files because I cannot have QT-Lite installed alongside QuickTime.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Can I "convert" a website made with GoLive to iWeb?

    I want  to use iWeb instead of Adobe GoLive for my website.
    Can I "convert" this website made with GoLive to instead using iWeb?
    Thanks!

    No but you might try Flux. It can open existing websites and is a very good alternative to iWeb which has been discontinued by Apple.  You can still use iWeb but will have to build your site from scratch. If you do decide to use iWeb check out Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site which has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the creation of the new site.

  • HT5182 How can I convert Raw images from iphoto to jpg for the web?

    I have some pictures in Raw mode stored in my Iphoto that I need to convert in JPG for the web and to print in business cards, I have been going around e-mailing the pictures to myself in large or medium size and then saving them again to my iphoto. Is there a way to do this from iphoto directly?

    Are your pictures on your iMac or on an IOS device?
    On your iMac use "File > Export " set the jpeg quality and size you want:

  • Can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
    In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
    You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

  • Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

    How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
    If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
    Otherwise you update via Softare Update
    If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
    If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

    I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.

    I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
    In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
    Start again but copy files in small amounts.
