Cant get to photos so nothing but .MAc any good for photo sharing anymore !

It seems that as we cannot access the photos (easily) in iphoto 08 as it is in package that any photo sharing except .Mac is pretty well useless.. Is this correct ???
I have Flicr, Photobucket Picasa and Koffeephoto online photo sharing accounts and now I cannot upload to these because Apple seems to want hide our photos in a package . Funny that it works with .MAC but I am not paying for this service when alls I need has been available free for quite a while and my friends go there to see my photos. It almost feelings like I am being forced towards .Mac because of this.
Are other people having the same upload hassles to these other accounts because of this or is there an easy way to get this to work. I really hope I am not going to be forced to open the package and copy photos out of it and then go through the services upload programs. Have I missed something ?
Thanks

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
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.
To upload to MySpace or any 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.
There are plug-ins for exporting directly to Flickr, perhaps there are for the other sites too. Search on MacUpdate
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. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • Comic Life?  Any good for photos?

    Found this on my iMac and I wondered if it's any good for making photo montages?
    I use an online lab for photos so wondered if the files it creates would be good enough for uploading for poster prints (some up to 30"x20")?
    Any users know?

    No, Comic Life is only good for making comics, it can't make any montages. As of today I deleted it, seeing as I won't make any comics on it. Also, it can't make poster prints because of the way the printing would turn out (think a lot of colored dots with no real picture).
    So in short, deleting it would not harm anything, nor hinder anything. Just save up some space.

  • I cant get my cd out of my mac pro book

    I cant get a cd out of my mac please help I have tryed all the ejects and holding down and restarting ?

    Solutions
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. )
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • WM -Storage bin 3000711133 ( nothing but TO no)  blocked for stock removal

    Dear Friends,
    1.User has created TO for 2 qty.
    2.While confirming it , he has put 1 qty in qty diff - could be by mistake,
    3.Now this one qty is went to stock differnece - Storage type 999 and the storage bin as "TO" number.
    4.I suggested them to clear the differnces through LI21 , but they dont want to do it , as it will heat financial accounts too.
    5.They want to transfer this one qty from 999 storage type to the required storage type
    6.I tried with LT01 - user mvt type 999 , & also 201 , and used souce storage type as 999 and storage bin as TO no, but i am getting message -Storage bin 3000711133 ( this is nothing but TO no)  blocked for stock removals
    7.even i tried with LT09 - but it dosent work...
    It should allow to move the material from 999 through lt01 , in our case it is not allowing, could you please help me to resolve this issue, if i need to do some customisation changes then where i have to do?
    Thanks & Appreciates your earlier response.

    Hello Om,
    I request few corrections for my last post.
    As understood now, you picked quantity was 2 pcs , while confirming user has mistakenly put 1 pc in qty difference field.
    Here when user has entered 1 (reduced quantity that the delivery quantity in outbound delivery) then he has to enter difference indicator for reduced quantity which must have been configured in the system.
    Now say that you have deliver the 1 pc which was confimred in TO to customer, at the same time your delivery must ahve been updated with pick and pack quantity as 1.
    But still 1 qty lies in interim storage type (XXX) with stoareg bin as trsnfer order number.
    Now to put this stock back in original stoarge type and bin.
    You please try LT01 with movement type as 999 which is warehouse supervision.
    Now in next screen you enter the stoare type (XXX) and stoareg bin i.e. your transfer order number in source data
    and destination storage type and bin will be automatically picked.
    Now Press Enter . 'You will get warning message as check you entries' ignore that message and save
    Hope this will help you. Also if you are getting any erro message with above please give us the detailed escription of erro message

  • Is mac keeper good for lion os mac pro

    is mac keeper good for lion os I was told it wasnt and im having problems with my mac its running sluggish and freezing up nothing is running in background either!

    Hi ...
    Avoid MacKeeper. Results of an ASC forum search for MacKeeper >  Community Search: Apple Support  Comments are discouraging for the most part. You don't need third party utlities installed to take care of your Mac. For the most part they do more harm than good.
    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Disabling the Lion "resume" feature may help.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:  Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    You can use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk and reinstall the Mac OS X.

  • Is 2012 mac mini good for audio production?

    is 2012 mac mini good for audio production. Take in mind that I am a novice, but that really does not matter, I want to get the right product if that is an imac instead than so be it.

    It depends on the sort of audio production you'll be doing. If you're going to be working with only stereo content or just a few tracks, in GarageBand for instance, a 2012 Mac mini would probably suffice, though you'll probably want to max out the RAM in the system. If you're going to be working with many tracks simultaneously with effects, EQ, etc on many, for instance with Logic Pro X with a number of plugins going, then a Mac mini probably won't do the job. In that case you'd probably want a top-end iMac or perhaps even a Mac Pro (the new model of which should be released sometime this month).
    I'd suggest that you decide on the software you'll want to run, and then ask in forums related to that software what sort of system configuration users are finding to be adequate.
    Regards.

  • Is clean my mac any good, Is clean my mac any good

    Is clean my mac any good ?

    Hi nodnaj,
    If you like the app, fine, but it "gave" you nothing. Unwanted programs are easily found and disk space released using the Mac's normal methods. It is impossible for users to perform such damage on their own with the Finder. OS X won't permit it.
    Like most third party "cleaners", "scanners", and so forth, CleanMyMac has been known to remove system components that must not be removed. You'll be happy with CleanMyMac right up to the point at which it performs a lobotomy on your system. Make sure your backups are up to date.

  • 24" iMac any good for games (compared to Mac Pro)

    Hi,
    I'm on my second Mac Pro and after no end of trouble so i'm hoping to exchange it for a 24" imac but i was wondering if it's any good for games?
    I would probably configure it with the 7600gt and maybe the 2.33ghz proccessor.
    My mac pro with the x1900xt ran Quake 4 and Doom3 etc at full stettings really well but i've just had to much trouble with it!

    The iMac would be fine for games for now, but you are stuck with the configuration that you purchase as there is no way (for now) to upgrade the video card.
    There is a thought that some OEMs might make an upgrade card, but as of now there are none.
    The big advantage of the Mac Pro is that it has the PCI-express video card that you can remove the stock card from and add a newer, better card.

    That's an App Store problem not an iPhoto one. That forum is here

    but perhaps you just need to try again later, as the message says.
