Can't add photos to book layout

I can't seem to drag new or different photos into a book layout. Any ideas?

ok, so even if you create a new card, you cannot add a picture to it, correct?
i would suggest the following: log in to your computer as another user - if you do not have another user set up, create one as a test for example - and then go to AB and see if you can add a picture under that user.
If you can it is most likely a user specific issue, and you may want to try to repair permissions by going to applications/utilities/disk utility ... and repair permissions.
If you cannot, then it might be an AB specific issue, and you may want to do a custom install and re-install AB with your Leopard disks.
hope this helps

I have started a photo book in iPhoto (OS 10.7.5). How can I add photos that were not in the original album?

Thanks for your quick response. I thought I had tried that but I must not have because it worked perfectly.

How do I add photos to books from another project / album

hi,
I'm on the latest iPhoto 9.4.1 & OS 10.8.2
The issue I'm having is,
I have an event hilighted and I create a book. Good so far.
But I can't add to this book from outside of this event, surely I must be able to navigate to ANY photo within iPhoto to add to the book.
When I have photos selected on the right hand panel I can only select "all photos in project" "placed and unplaced photos" and "one recent album" and "last 12 months months"
If I must have all photos within an event or album PRIOR to first creating the book I see this as a shortcoming.
thanks,
Rob

DUH...
worked it out, while in other events I drag photos to where the newly created book is, ie on the LEFT pane.
I must say this doesn't seem very Apple intuitive
cheers,
Rob

How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

Hi,
It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

HT1848 How can I add photos to the iPad while not deleting any currently on it? I have some photos from my brother's camera that I can't get again. How could save them onto my iMac?

I have uploaded photos from my brother's camera while on vacation to my iPad (1). Now that I wish to add even more photos to the iPad, iTunes say that it will replace all the photos once I sync again to add from an album on the iMac.
WHOA.
I'd like to upload the photos to the iMac! HOw can I do that?
How can I add photos from albums on the iMac and not lose the ones I currently have stored onthe iPad.
I cannot find this task addressed in any Help reference.
I do not understand why I cannot make a simple file transfer back and forth.
Many thanks!

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

You have a couple of options:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

Can't add photos to nano

I just got my black 4gig a couple hours ago and I love it, I got music added to it all right but I have 27 MB left and I can't add photos to it.
I get through all the steps and select about 6 photos to add (not full size) but then I get an error message saying my iPod cannot be updated (error -208). I installed the software and did iPod update and I have iPhoto 4.0.3
Any suggestions please?

Please be patient - I am not trying to mess you up.
From the nano specs online:
"Mac system requirements:
Mac OS X v10.3.4 or later"
Your signature says your running OS X 10.0.x, so you might need to upgrade your OS (key word MIGHT).
From the nano manual (see link below):
"You can download photos from a folder on your hard disk. If you have a Mac and iPhoto 4.0.3 or later, you can download iPhoto albums automatically. " - You should be OK on your iPhoto version from the version you said you are currently running.
Try dragging a couple of photos from your iPhoto library to a folder on your computer. Then try to add the photos to your iPod with the alternative method of selecting photos using the 'From Folder' option and use the folder/photos you have set aside.
See if you can then add them this way or get the same error.
Online reference (just in case you need it):

See chapter 3.
Best of luck,

Can I add photo stream albums to SkyDrive

Can I add photo stream albums to my SkyDrive albums?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos in the camera roll are those which (in most cases) are taken on the device, the photostream album contains photos which have been synced from photostream in the cloud, which can include photos from your camera roll as well as from other devices using photostream. Photostream photos can be lower resolution than the same photos in the camera roll.
Photos in photostream can be edited and saved to other albums.

How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

RLHeflin
Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
You further explained
I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link

Creating an iPhoto project book....how can I add photos to the photo pane?

I am creating a book from our recent vacation. Each day of the vacation I have separated into different Events. I chose the first day/event and clicked create book.....have placed all the photos in various "slots" in the book and now want to add photos from more events but cannot figure out how to do that.....can this be done???
Thanks for any help....so close to finishing!
Chris H

Select the photo(s) or event(s) you want to add to your book and drag them to the book project in the source pane to the left
BTW - you will love your results - I have quit printing photos and doing albums - only do iPhoto books for our trips now - we love them and our friends are amazed - plus it is easy to duplicate if people we went with want copies

Photos and layouts change size when adding photos in book layout

I am using the Classic layout to create books.
Sometimes, when I move a photo down into the layout, unpredictable things happen. For example, when I drag a photo down onto the page layout, sometimes the photo will change sizes, and sometimes the layout will move around (esp. with 3 or 4 images on a page). On a page with a single image, sometimes the photo comes in large, and sometimes it shrinks. On a 3 photo per page layout, sometimes the layout starts with 3 photo boxes in a row. I can add one or two, and then I add another (could be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd - it's the image file that I think triggers the change) and all the boxes scramble and instead of a row of 3 equal-sized boxes, now I have a page with 1 big and 2 small boxes. Totally unpredictable!
Is there any way to control this?
All the photo files I'm starting with are high resolution tiffs, around 8 inches square (most are squares, not 4x6 snapshots) at 300 dpi.
I have had this issue on 3 computers (and probably 2 different versions of iPhoto): a 2-year-old G5, and two brand new iMacs.
Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you Control-click on the square photo in a book frame you can select the "Fit photo to frame size" option and the entire image will be contained in the frame. there will be some white space on the short side.
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't add text to book pages

I just installed Aperture 2.1.2 and am trying to add a text box over an image on a book page. On the actions bar the only buttons that work after selecting the image are the Set Photo Filter and Set Background. The buttons for Text Style, Metadata Format, Add Text box, Add Metadata, Add Photo, Send Backwards and Send Forward are "grayed out" Also, if I try to select Add Text from the Book Actions button at the bottom of the Book pane, all of the options from the Add selection are grayed out. I am able to select and resize an image (I get yellow box around it). What do I need to do to enable these actions? The Aperture Manual just say's to use the Add Text tool, but it's not active on my system.
I am able to edit text on pages thet have pre-formatted text items.

Have the same problem and wondering if you ever found out how to make the Content and Layout buttons visible. Strangely these buttons are there if I use Aperture on my PowerBook, but not and my desktop Mac. Drives me crazy because I need to add more text and captions to some book pages.

Can I recover an iPhoto Book layout that I was working on?

I was creating the final pages of a 45+ page book, and was asked "do you want to remove the placed photos..." from what I assumed was the photo pane side bar (but turned out to be the placed photos on my book). I mistakenly said yes since this would have helped me to see only the photos I hadn't placed yet. Long stroy short, it looks like I lost all of my hard work. The "Undo" option, was not available to me. Is there anything I can do to recover where I was with my book layout short of starting over?

Restore your latest backup of the iPhoto library from before you deleted the photos
