Cannot print photos in iPhoto-says I need a theme?

When I enter iPhoto, select 4 photos that I want to print, then click File>Print, a window pops up that says 'No Avaliable Themes'- There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavaliable. What does this mean?!? I cannot go any farther that that! I have no idea what a theme even is, and I have been able to print picture perfectly fine in the past. I have iPhoto '08. I need help! what does this mean?! What can I do about it?!?! ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks---C

Reinstall iPhoto.

Cannot print photos in IPhoto 09

Snow Leopard. Followed Toad's instructions to reinstall IPhoto, Sorta' messed up now. Cannot print photo from IPhoto Libraray Photos pg. Exported photo from there to "Pictures"; msg shows " Unable to create/User/MMM/:Picture/DSC,,,,.pg". Didn't get an IPhoto icon on dock but found a way. Have an icon on desktop "IPhoto Library" that opens IPhoto but it is also opened when I open IPhoto icon on dock, have done Software Update for latest on HP printer. Am losing much sleep trying to get this figured out. Should I delete all IPhoto again and start over on reinstall from disk "c"?

No answer yet so still messing up not knowing what I'm doing, but do know I have IPhoto so messed up. Have an iPhoto icon on the Dock and iPhoto Library on desktop.
Found 2 iPhoto apps in Trash. Dragged out to desktop (iPhoto 07-27-19 (is this a date?) .app and iPhoto.app. Don't know what is in them...so what to do now. Do I delete current iPhoto icon from Dock and open one of the ones I just mentioned? If so, how do I do this? Should I clear all iPhoto info and reinstall from Mac Installation disk?
Have Dictionary on Dock which opens dictionary; also have Dictionary.app on desktop which, if I draag into Trash, then Dictionary on Dock no longer opens.
Hoping to hear real soon, cause I am getting so impatiet after several days now of getting more into trouble, to clean this mess up and get on with other things.

Cannot Print Photos via Printer Sharing

I cannot print photos from iPhoto or Preview using Printer Sharing to my iMac anymore. I get this error message when I attempt to print a photo:
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/Filter/rastertoescpII.app/Contents/MacOS/ rastertoescpII failed
I am using a Mac Book Pro sharing the printer connected to my iMac over a wireless network. I can still print documents OK, so the printer sharing is working fine.
I have recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.2.3, and have updated the printer driver via Software Update.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac Book Pro I have no problems printing photos from either iPhoto or Preview.
The iMac still prints from the older iPhoto OK.
This is rather a pest so I welcome any suggestions.
Robin.

Fixed. Installing Mountain Lion has done the trick. There must have been a glitch in Snow Leopard that was the bother. Anyway, I am happy I can now print form my MBP via printer sharing.

Cannot print photos

I do not know what happened. I have a pedestal iMac and Epson Photo960. I have printed photos from iPhoto and after last upgrade of iPhoto I cannot print photos from iPhoto. Any ideas what has happened?

Quit iPhoto.
Locate a file named com.apple.iPhoto.plist and get rid of it. iPhoto will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist

I cannot print photos on mac book because I need themes

Cannot print photos with macbook pro. Get message stating that I need themes?? Please help, this is a new computerand it's very frustrating.

If this is with iPhoto then you need to reinstall it:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
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 or later 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.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac. This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5. I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others. I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto. I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient. Thank you.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Cannot open my library. iPhoto says I opened it before with a newer version which is not true.

Cannot open my library. iPhoto says I opened it before with a newer version which is not true. I am using Snow Leopard and iPhoto 7.1.5 which seems to be the latest update. How can I reach my photos? I don't particually care for iPhoto anymore since I am using Lightroom now, but I would very much like to reach my picture files, HELP

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

I cannot email photos from iPhoto. I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

Do you have two-step verification enabled and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
Then check this solution:
If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)
Re: I am having trouble e-mailing from iPhoto the message I get is E-mail server didn't recognise your username/password combination
Re: Mac's new Photos app is not letting me email

I updated to Yosemite. iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the version I need is not available in the US. Thus iPhoto won't work or even open at this point

I updated to the yosemite system. My iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version for it to work with yosemite. The app store searches and then states the version I need is not available in the US. Currently I cannot use iPhoto. Suggestions?

Csound1,
Thanks for the hint about not emptying the trash. I will try to work on this tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know if "this helped me".
Russell,
If you go into the iLife support forum for iPhoto, there are a couple good threads. Basically, iPhoto can't be downloaded by anyone anywhere in the world unless the app store has it listed in your "purchases" list. The threads contain a lot of steps and it looks like this could be difficult for novices like me.
Rysz,
I will also look at the link you provided before I get started. Thanks.

Having a problem printing photos from Iphoto. Seems that "themes" are required in order to accomplished the task. Where are the Themes found?

Where can I find the themes, possibly formats, for printing photos for Iphotos? Are these still being used or have they been upgraded to another program such as ilife?

You'll need to reinstall iPhoto. If you MBP came with Lion preinstalled move the iPhoto applicaiton to the Trash bin in the Dock, go to the App Store, go to Purchases, download and reinstall iPhoto.

HT1338 I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive? It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i.
Click to view full size
If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library 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.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
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.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
Any ideas ?

This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

Brad
What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.
