Can't move more than one photo

iPhoto v9.2.1, OS X 10.6.8.
This is a really strange error; Normally you are able to mark several photos and then grab one and move them all. But when I'm choosing one of them it just deselects. Ie, I can't move more than one photo at a time!
Everything else in iPhoto works, and everything else on the computer as well (at first I thought that the COM key was pressed, it reminded of how you select and deselect objects with the COM key).
I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
Is it possible to solve this any other way?

I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
You won't.
Simple test, rather than dragging to the trash, just drag that plist file to the desktop. Start iPhoto. All that's reset are your factory settings - library location and the like - and these can be reset.

  • Can you print more than one photo on a sngle page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa?

    Can you print more than one photo on a single page in iPhoto, as you can in Picasa? Terrible waste of paper and time to do it one at a time!  I 've been away from Macs for several years ( I know, shame on me) but I thought I remembered more printing flexibility.  Help, anyone?

    Yes - select the photos and print - select the print size and paper size (be sure they will fit with some small borders) and click customize - in settings select multiple photos per page (the preview will reflect this selection) and print

  • Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???

    Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

    Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • How can I import more than one photo album onto my iPad

    Help! Can I import more than one photo album onto my IPad from my PC and if so how?

    Yes and it's very easy to do once you know what to do.
    Place all of the photo albums that you want to transfer to the iPad into one main photos album on your PC. When your iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes and after you have selected the iPad under Devices, click on the Photos tab and in the Sync Photos from heading - select that main photos album that you place all of your other photos folders into - select each album that you want to sync - and then click on Apply in the lower right corner to sync the photos to the iPad.

  • How can I scan more than one photo at a time on my 8610

    The previous HP Scanner we had (8500) would allow you to add scan windows to the scan preview so that you could scan more than one photo or image at a time from the glass.  This allowed me to scan physical photos in several at a time rather than having to load one at a time.  Is there a way to do this in this newer 8610 software?  

    Thanks!  That did work, sort of.   At 600 dpi, If I put 5 photos on the scanner bed, it sometimes senses 3 correctly and senses 2 as one photo.  Sometimes the other way around, it gets 2 right and senses 3 togehter.  I can then change the scanning area to just have one of those photos, but then I have to rescan the one(s) that are/were left out. 
    So the first problem with this solution is, to use it I'm stuck at 300 dpi resolution  or less which isn't great for my situation.  I want to be able to enlarge some of these images up for printing.
    Also, When I click on the + sign it scans the same photos again and I can then crop the ones that it continually senses as 1 photo (even when they are spread apart, but it scans all the others again to, so if it senses three photos together that shouldn't be, I have to add 2 extra pages, crop them appropriately and the delete the extra 4 scans of the photos it got right the first time.  
    VERY CUMBERSOME.  The previous program for the 8500 let you just add a scan area window so that you could scan the bits out you wanted.  Much better.   Why do they mess with what works?   Bummer.

  • How can i place more than one photo on the print sheet

    im trying to place more than on photo on a sheet of photo paper, how do I do this

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    However since you seem to have a problem with that method you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    If you are unfamiliar with setting up Windows user accounts you can read more here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

  • Can't have more than one photo desktop..

    I am merely trying to have more than one photo on my desktop. I select the event in iphoto with the pictures, hit share and set desktop. Nothing. One picture makes it on. Settings for desktop pop up and then nothing happens...
    Is there something wrong with iphoto or is it me??

    Well, from the Preferences>Desktop & ScreenSaver option you can select multiple photos from iPhoto to display pictures (one at a time) at various intervals from 5 seconds to once a day....
    I'm not sure how it would work by doing it from iPhoto, but the folder you see above was on my Finder with a selected set of pictures in it that I saved from iPhoto into that folder. I clicked on the "+" that you see in the picture above, and it went to my Finder to allow me to select a new folder. I selected the one that you see there now "Photo Artwork", then set the options below to Change the picture every 5 mintues and to display them in Random Order.
    That would do the trick for you. Sorry I don't know more about how to do it from iPhoto. If you post your question in the iPhoto forum, I'm certain that the experts there would probably be able to answer the question you posed above....
    Hope this is of some help....

  • Can we email more than one photo at once from the iPad?

    It is easy to email a photo from the iPad, one photo at a time, but is it possible to send multiple photos attached to one email from the iPad?

    Sure, it's possible to select more than one photo in the Photos app, then press the email icon. There is a limit which is, iirc, five.
    Yes, five .... as soon as you select the sixth the email icon greys out. Just tap the photos you want to send to select them.

    It won't add them to the same group, it will create another group and you will be able to choose to view by a specific calendar(s) or all calendars. If you display all (or more than one) of your calendars (as I do in the image below), events are denoted by different colours.

  • How can I select more than one photo to upload on programs (kijiji, Real estate Program, ect.)

    I am trying to post houses for sale on kijiji and it won't let me hold shift and grab 10 photos at once, i have to add them individually, when I go to internet explorer, it works fine.

    To be sure if this will work, you can right-click the browse input field to upload the file and see if that input field has a multiple attribute and allows to select for than one file.

  • Can't load more than one photo to new 80 GB IPod

    Hello All,
    I have a new 80 GB IPod and have successfully loaded one low res jpg photo but that's all I can load. I select my named folder in the photo tab window and hit "apply" and nothing happens. I've tried dragging and dropping the photos (to the photo window and to my IPod icon in the ITunes window on the left ) and that doesn't work. All my photos are small, 72 dpi jpgs. I read the answers to another user with the same question but did not find a solution.
    I appreciate your time and help, Happy New Year!

  • Can't print more than one photo on the same page

    Is there a lay-out option so I can print four 3X5 photos on the same page? iOS 10.9.3

    Yes.  In the Print window select the Custom layout and in the print size select Custom, 3 x 5.  That will give you this:
    It it doesn't show a fit the first time toggle the reverse button that't to the right of 3 in the screenshot.  That should get it to snap to four per page.
