Can't Print Photos Stored in Iphoto

I have three pages of my credit report (why I put them in iphoto I don't know) and I try to print the pages but instead a page prints out that says at the bottom 'Unable to Assemble Book' with Print underneath. I am trying to print the credit report pages from Events under Library and keep getting the 'Unable to Assemble Book' when I print the page out. Do I have to move the credit report pages somewhere else to be able to print them? And how do I do that if thats the answer.
Thanks for your help!

Since the window opens to the Desktop that means that the original file is missing or iPhoto has lost the file path to it? What do you see if you try to edit that file in iPhoto? Do you get a window with this in it:

If you do then make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.

  • After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

    I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

    Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
    Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

  • Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

    You can indeed.  Simply drag the folder containing the images (or the images themselves) from the hard drive to the iPhoto icon in the dock (same one you click on to open iPhoto.  This will cause iPhoto to start importing whatever you drag in.
    Two suggestions:
    Have a backup of your current library before you do the import just in case iPhoto encounters a corrupt file during import which might damage your existing library of images:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    Import the images in small batches if there are many of them.  That way if there is an error with one of the images during import you can easily identify where the bad image is coming from.
    Cheers.

  • After years of no problems I can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable.  What are themes? How do I install them?

    After years of no problems I sddenly can't print photos. When I select print I get the message "There are no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed this feature will be unavailable.  What are themes? How do I install them? Why has this problem suddenly arisen?

    Re-installing does not affect your Library in any way. You don't delete it, only the app.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    I have 21,000  photos stored in iphoto. I have a WD 1.5TB backup external hard drive.  What is the best way to erase about half of my photos on my internal hard drive?

    Here's one way to do what you want:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Can't print photos from any phot editing program or photo program

    my printer is hp photosmart C6380 all in one printer, operating system is windows 7 64-bit.
    I can't print photos from microsoft office picture manager, or windows live photo gallery, etc. Have to use microsoft word to import the pictures into and then print.

    Hi there,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • Can't activate photo stream in iPhoto

    Hi
    It seems that I can't activate photo stream in iPhoto. When I try to click "Activate photo stream" in iPhoto > Settings > Photo Stream it uncheck itself right away. Realy frustrating. Anyone else having this problem?

    Jepp, same problem here.
    Photo Stream enables/activates  on both my iPhone and Macbook Air, but not on my iMac desktop. Enabling it in System and iPhoto Preferences is not possible ...
    Very annoying.
    Will check some other help forums too to see if a solution is available ...
    Keep us posted anyone else who discovers a solution to the problem ...

  • Can't print photos in elements 13

    Can't print photos in elements13

    Suggest that you rename the printer. It is my understanding that Elements becomes "confused" with somewhat similar names
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86566.html
    In Devices & Printers in control panel, right click the printer and go to Printer Properties.
    Please let us know if this works after renaming.

    yeah the keynote they just did showed what appeared to be a new version of Aperture running on the Mac Pro so I've got a glimmer of hope they'll do some more updates in Dec.  If not there's always the feedback

  • I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    I updated iPhoto this morning. And now I can't email photos directly from iPhoto. Whats that all about?

    Which iPhoto version did you update to?
    If it is iPhoto 9.6 open iPhoto's preferences, go to the Accounts pane and delete the email account.
    Now quit iPhoto, relaunch, and add the account back.
    You may have to restart the Mac for this to have effect.
    If you are using iPhoto as Mail client, you may want to switch to Mail as the email client in iPhoto's General preference pane.
    This has been much more reliable in the past and less trouble.

  • Can't print in color from iPhoto

    When I try to print a photo from iPhoto, using my color printer, I get a black & white print (not even greyscale). I can print in color from other applications, just not from iPhoto (but I think I used to print in color from iPhoto). Any clues out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. Next, remove the printer from the Print and Fax preference pane and reinstall. Also, depending on your printer brand, check the Apple Downloads page for the new printer drivers offered by Apple. Those might help.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
