Can We Merge Photos Together in iPhoto 6?

The subject title says it all, folks. So......can we? If so, how? Thanks!!

Sean:
If you mean put two photos together as one then you'll need a 3rd party editor like Photoshop Elements, GraphicConverter, Seashore(freeware).
Do you Twango?

If i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?

if i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?
i havent used my computer in two years. in that time i recently got a iphone4s and started another apple id.
i just set up my computer and my itunes on my computer has a different id. is it possible to merge these as one? the itunes on my computer has a no longer working email as well.
so if i go to change the info on that to my current email it obviously wont let me because it is registered to "someone" else... ME..
so is there any way to make the one on my computer the current one i have on my phone so i dont loose ALL my music from my computer??

Sorry, but Apple IDs cannot be merged. You can, however, use more than one Apple ID/iTunes Store account on your computer and hence on your iPhone. If you've forgetten the password to your older ID, see:
http://iforgot.apple.com
once you get in, you can change the email address associated with that ID so that receipts and such are emailed to a current address.

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 ...

How can I tag photos on iOS7 iPhoto and have them sync back to OSX Aperture?

How can I tag photos on iOS7 iPhoto and have them sync back to OSX Aperture?

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.

I can't merge photos in Photoshop express

I am trying to merge a one yen coin and a euro coin together but I can't. Do I have to get photoshop to do that

Hi Rebecca,
Adobe Revel does not merge photos. I think perhaps you are on the wrong forum. Photoshop could merge photos, depending on what you want to do. Photoshop Elements may have that capability. Those are the 2 forums I would try.

Merging photo's from iphoto to my external hardrive

Hi there im kinda new in using a Macbook, if can just anyone tell me how can i merge my photo's from the iphoto to my external hardrive please..

Before you do this, realize you will make your backup process a lot more complicated, because you will have to either have two restore partitions in the future, or ensure the backup drive is backed up separately. Remember, it is never wise to have less than two copies of your data at anytime. Archiving to DVD, or yet another hard drive may be better if you are running low on space. See my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html
If that still doesn't deter you, drag the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder into your external hard drive, and hold command and option keys down simultaneously when you next open iPhoto. Then pick the XML file in the package contents of the Pictures folder on the external drive. It will take awhile to rebuild the library to point there, but once done your library will reside there until you rebuild it again.

Can't create photo book in iPhoto 9.6 (910.29)

I am trying to create a photo book in iPhoto. I have created books in the past but well over a year ago so I don't know when the issue could have started. When I click on create, seemly nothing happens however when I quit iPhoto and start it up again, I find a copy of the photo book in my albums list rather than under projects. It does not behave like a photo book as I can't edit it and the display is different. I can't even open old photo books. I have tried countless things to try to make it work including: renaming my iPhoto library and then reinstalling iPhoto. With the new library created by reinstalling iPhoto, I am able to create a Photo Book. But when I switch to my old library (45, 000+ pictures and many years of my life), it again won't create a photo book. Well my library may be corrupted, but when I rebuild it, repair it, etc. there is no change in the behaviour of iPhoto.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem. Many Thanks.
Using a iMac and OS 10.10

Then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database. Repeat with Option #1 if necessary.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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.

Can't find photo stream on iPhoto

When I first had my iphone in September 2012, my photos were downloaded directly to my macbook through icloud. Now, I can't seem to see the photos I took on my phone on my computer. Does anyone know why it would stop working? Do I need to update iphoto?

Here's what you need to use iCloud and Photo Stream:
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
PC with Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.1 or later
You can still use Photo Stream without Shared Photo Streams if your devices meet these requirements:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5.1 or later
Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and iPhoto 9.2.2 or Aperture 3.2.3 or later
PC with Windows 7 or Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) and the iCloud Control Panel v2.0 or later for Windows
Apple TV (2nd generation) with Software Update 5.0 or later
The above is from this Apple document: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
If your MacBook meets these requirements then try the following:
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't get photos out of iphoto

arghhh... i'm super frustrated because all of a sudden i can not get my photos from iphoto to 1. go into photoshop 2. to even go on the desktop and 3. to burn to backup
I see them on my iphoto and in the folders they are supposed to be in but i feel like they are completly lost and don't know what to do about it. if anyone has suggestions i would GREATLY appreciate it! thanks
lindsey jane

Lindsey,
did you do organizing in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder? It seems that iPhoto cannot find the image so there for you cannot even drag it to the desktop or even view the image. Did you rename the files in the finder or rename folders or even deleted files in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder?
I am thinking you did and you may have to create a new library and import the images from the old library to see what images are left.
Depending on what you did there are different ways to recover your images.
If you deleted files and folders or renamed A LOT of images you need to start over.
Page 2 gives instructions. Follow the first paragraph and #2 for importing.
If you just renamed some images Old Toad has a solution for that.
"There is a way you can recover your library. Here's what I developed and it worked for me. But make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder beforehand just in case:
How to recover those photos lost due to renaming in the Finder
1 - do a search of just the iPhoto library folder with the following criteria:
File name contains ".jpg" (or .psd) and File size is less than 1 KB. (You can just do a search for File size less than 1 kb but do not delete the other zero sized files that are of a non image type).
That will find all of those zero sized files that were created when iPhoto couldn't fine the originals.
2 - move those zero sized image files to the trash.
3 - now delete those "bad" photos from the iPhoto library using the normal method within iPhoto (if you don't they will be recovered every time you do a library rebuild with the "recover orphaned photos" option selected).
4 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and when the rebuild menu comes up select the last option, "Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder".
This will recover those renamed files and put then in a new roll. The only downside is that their titles in iPhoto will be "Roll xx-1, etc. You can do a Get Info on them, find the actual file name and change the title so they are the same.
So it can be done with a little work.
The only way to rename files that have already been imported into iPhoto is to export them to the desktop, rename them there and then reimport. Once imported you can delete the original set.
You shouldn't encounter problems when embedding the metadata into the files. But to be absolutely sure, pick one test photo and give it a go.
You do know that you can use Photoshop from within iPhoto as the editor of choice, right? Just go into iPhoto's preferences and in the General pane under "Double-Click Photo" select Photoshop as the editor to use when you double-click a photo. The only caveat is that when you go to save the edit you must use the same filename, extension and location that you found the file in. If you must create a layered or otherwise pdf file it must be saved to the desktop and then imported as a new file.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.
O.T."

How can change my photo editor in iphoto preferences?

accidentally hit InDesign when setting up my photo editor in iphoto preferences. how can I switch it to Photoshop (which isn't currently listed in the dropdown menu, obviously)? many thanks,
BB

Go to the Dropdown and select InDesign again, and the window to select an app will re-open.
If that fails:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

I can't get photos outside of iPhoto!

Before this version I could navigate into the file folders of my photos. Is it possible with this version? They seems to have locked us out of the files but I am having difficulty organizing my pictures and if I could see into the file it sure would help. Can this be done?

You're posting in the iPhoto 6 forum but the question you mention is assocaited with later versions: 08 and 09. So I'm going to guess that you're in the wrong forum.
and if I could see into the file it sure would help.
No it wouldn't. If you're on 09 then how the files are arranged in the Finder has no necessary connection with how the are arranged in the iPhoto Window. The whole point of iPhoto is for you to organise your photos and let it manage the files.
What specific extra information do you think you will get looking at the files? Perhaps we can suggest another way of working.
Anyway:
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside: Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

Can't see photos outside of iphoto

So I have quite a few photos uploaded to iphoto. I can see all of them in their separate events in iphoto. However, if I go to gmail or facebook to upload some of those photos, i can only see events older than about 3 months (and therefore, photos older than that). Is there some setting that i'm inadvertantly triggering which is only letting me see some of my events in other contexts?
