Can two iphoto users create a shared photo book?

My sister and I would like to make a photo album for our parents for Christmas. We live in two different cities, but we each have pictures we would like to contribute to the book. can we create a photo album that we can both work on and add pictures to simultaneously? or is there another way for one of us to be able to add pictures to a single album from two different locations? I'm wondering if uploading pics to flickr and then one of us pulling those photos from flickr for the book would work. I'm just concerned that this route will decrease the quality of the photos. thanks for any help.

If you want to just have photos transferred to you by your sister easily try using Dropbox. Once set up any picture she puts in her dropbox on her Mac will be send to your dropbox folder on your Mac as long a you're on line. There's a 2GB limit to the content of the dropbox but that shouldn't be a limitation for a book.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • Can two iCal users edit the same published/shared calendar

    Can two iCal users (obviously different mobileMe accounts) edit the same published/shared calendar? I want to have a calendar running which we can both edit remotely but for it to be synced so we both know what each other is doing. Maybe I can share it on my iDisk somehow? I have searched but could not find an answer so I am sorry if this has been covered already !

    There is now way to do this using standard MobileMe and iCal. What you could is both share your calendars so that both of you can read each other's calendar.
    If you want both to have read-write access to a calendar you will need to use third party software or set up a Google calendar where both of you have read-write access to the calendar.

  • Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (Impossible?)

    Please can someone give me a straight forward answer to this question? I have read through the other similar forum questions and I still don't feel that I have found a definitive answer / solution.
    Is it possible to do the following please:
    Two iPhones + One Mac = One Shared Photo Stream (i.e. three devices that all have access to and update the Photo Stream as photographs are taken)
    If so, how?
    If not, am I really the only person that wants to do this?
    Thanks (in anticipation).

    Create a free email account at gmail, yahoo, outlook.com, or one of the other email services and use that to create the second Apple ID.
    Also, create separate user accounts on your computer for each of you to avoid unintentionally mixing up your data.

  • How do I create a shared photo stream?

    I see discussions regarding shared photo streams - all pertaining to issues with existing shared photo streams.  I don't see anything that provides instructions on how to create a shared photo stream.  How is this accomplished?  And how do I allow someone access to my shared photo stream?

  • How do you create a shared photo stream on the ipad

    I've updated my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 6 but I can't figure out how to create a shared photo stream.
    I've followed the instructions on apples website but it's as if the feature is missing.
    Anyone else tried using the feature?

    Went crazy since I had no "new iCloud agreement" request. Anyway I updated my account infos and finally found in Settings  > iCloud > Photo Streaming the button to enable Shared Photo Steams button

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

    Mac OS X does not offer a Clean install option.    If by clean install you mean erasing the system, that is not recommended unless:
    1. You bought a used/refurbished Mac and there is software on it without any accompanying discs, and it is older than July 20, 2011 in model release:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
    Or if it is at or newer, then erase it if it has applications installed that would not have been prebundled with it and you have no CDs for those applications.
    You don't want someone else's software keys, or accounts, or to be running unlicensed software.  At and newer Macs offer a built-in internet restore for their software with a command-R boot that lets you erase the system with Disk Utility, and then install from the internet the latest operating system.
    2. You have a hardware issue and want to eliminate possible software issues as the cause when troubleshooting a problem all at once.
    Issues affecting a new install have to be isolated before you attempt it.   Unless you know it is software or hardware, erasing may only mask other problems.

  • Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work?

    Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work? I have already spent many hours trying to create a photo album but came across more pictures to choose from. However, I don't know how to get these new pictures into the "list" of potential photos for the book in progress. I can't stand the thought of having to start over by selecting the 2000 photos plus these new ones and starting all over again!?!

    I have found more pictures that I want to include. They are, say, in a folder on my desktop. I can't simply pull a picture (or the folder) from the desktop and insert it into the album or the list of potential pictures across the top.
    to import into an existing book (which is just a special kind of album) simply drag the photos from their source (the desktop in your example) to the book in the source pane on the left (not to the book in the library window but the book icon in the source pane
    Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book
    I also tried imported the pictures, from the desktop folder, into iphoto, creating new event. I don't think there is a way of accessing that new event from the album in work/progress.
    Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book in the source pane on the left
    I also tried merging the new "event" into an existing event that I had selected for the album. That doesn't work either???
    That is correct - there is no connection between the source of the book and the book - the book stands alone and you add direct to it in the source pane exactly as you would add to any other album

  • How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    How can I fix the text in my photo book that reads"your default text had not been edited. Printed books will not include this text?"

    You will get this warning, if your book includes textboxes that still include the default text, like "Insert Title". You need to find these boxes and add your own text.  Look for boxes like this:
    Make a PDF-preview of your book and look, where the preview differs from what you are seeing in iPhoto.

  • How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

  • Multiple Users One Computer sharing photo's

    Hi,
    I have two user's on my computer, both with different log on's etc. How can another user look at my photo's that are currently in iPhoto with out having to move folders around.
    Can this also be done with iTunes so that we can share music without having to make duplicates?
    Thanks.

    Hi Fancy,
    The first group of links will tell you how another user can view your iPhoto Library.
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • Right in the middle of the process of creating a hardcover photo book, a message came up, telling me: This theme is no longer available in iPhoto. Please choose: Delete book / Cancel / Change Theme. No matter what I select. What`s the problem???

    No matter what option I select- iPhoto either crashes or the beachball starts spinning. Either way, I can`t access the photo book anymore.
    Is there anything I can do?
    The selected theme is definitely still available in iPhoto, so this can`t be the real problem...
    I have been sitting on the book work for days...

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help   launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does then a reinstall of iPhoto is warrented.
    If the problem does not appear in the test library then your current library is damaged.  In that case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) 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.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4.
    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.

  • Why can't I change an iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) photo book layout without the page going blank?

    When working on a photo book, I can initially drag and drop photos into the predetermined photobook layout designs without any problems.  But when I want to change one of the pages from the iPhoto predetermined layout (e.g. from a 2 photo layout to a 4 photo layout) the page will go blank (by that I mean it will only have the background design) and will no longer allow me to add photos to the page, or choose a text only layout, or any layout other than a blank background design.  I can delete the page which won't let me add photos anymore, and then add a new page which will, but the page layout is again a predetermined layout, which I want to change (e.g. a 2 photo layout, when I want a 4 photo layout).
    As stated in the question, I'm running iPhoto '11 version 9.4.2, updated via the App Store in November 2012.  I'm running the program on a 2011 iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with OSX (10.8.2).
    Please help.

    Sound like you're trying to drag a photo to a folder which will automatically create a new album in that folder titled "Untitled".  Make sure it's an album and not a folder you're trying to drag to.
