Captions in iPhoto for Mac

It is easy to caption photos in iPhoto for iOS, by clicking "Add Caption."  How do you caption photos in iPhoto for Mac?  Where is the iPhoto for iOS caption stored in the Exif data?

Terence,
Thanks once again.  At least in my version of iPhoto, the words "Add a description..." do not appear when you are looking at an individual photo, although they are there when looking at an Event.  In my ignorance of iPhoto, I did not know that the dialog box was even there in the absence of the "Add a description..." indication.  Once I found it by moving my cursor over there, I was able to type in the description (as well as the Title in the similarly unlabeled dialog box above.  See below.

    You will need to purchase an iLife 11 installer disk. Try Amazon or Ebay.

  • Photo journals on iPhoto for Mac

    Hi,
    Will Photo Journals be added to iPhoto for Mac (and not only an IOS iPhoto feature)?
    I used to use a lot the mobileme gallery, and the photo journals could be a great alternative.
    Thanks
    Antoine

    Antoine,
    since we are only users here like you, we can only guess. Please send feedback to Apple, that you want journals.

    Perhaps that will help

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • How can I change the time of photos in info in iPhoto for iOS. I've done it in iPhoto for Mac but when I sync to my ipad the info field goes back to the camera time ignoring "modify original files" in iPhoto for Mac?

    I used "adjust date and time" and"modify original files" to correct the time of photos taken on a camera used in Peru which was set to UK rather than local time. which is 6 hours  behind. This was to bring them into line with shots taken with other cameras set to local time. This was using iphoto 08 on a Mac. I then synced to my iPad. The photos stayed in the correct order in photos but in iphoto (iOS version) the original dates appear (the camera dates) and so the photos are out of chronological order again. This looks like a bug but is there a fix?

    don't know what you mean by "write to master" but speculate that it means modify the original times, in which case the taken times on the camera should no longer be present
    No,I meant your using the option "modify original files" will do exactly that - change the capture date original master files stored in the iPhoto library. Only when you do that, the "date modified" of your original files will be changed as well, and it will now be the date of your manipulation of the capture date.
    Oh - I hadnt considered that possibility - but of that were the case, why don't my manipulated photos go to the end of the sequence as I have done all the manipulation after the end of the holiday??
    In photos the synced album maintains the chronological order which I set up on the mac by modifying the originals, as you said,
    That is what the linked article is describing: "some apps may sort your photos in the order you specify in the app (such as iPhoto or Aperture"
    The problem I have is that, in the album, iphoto (ipad) sorts them differently to both iphoto (Mac) and the photos tab on the ipad
    In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
    "on ipad this is the Photos tab" - but this displays as per the original sequence ignoring time adjustments - the manipulations seem to be ignored (but are reflected in the album in the photos tab) and the photos tahat have been modified stay in their original positiom - they don't get put the end
    Because the library uses a different date - the date modified - the date of the last time the file has been changed in any way - any editing you do to your image, including adjust date and time will change the "date modified"
    This may change the sorting of the database but it appears not to influence the order in the albums
    In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
    So how can i get my photos in date and time order in an album in iphoto for ipad?
    Thanks for your help

  • Where can I download iphoto for mac os x 10.6.4?

    I am trying to download iphoto for my mac which software is 10.6.4. I don't want to upgrade in fear of my computer becoming too slow. Can anyone help me find a place to download iphoto please.

    It can't be downloaded from anywhere and needs to be installed from an iLife DVD or your computer's original disks.

  • Download iphoto for mac os x 10.5.8

    Is it possible to get hold of a copy of iPhoto for PowerBook G4 (PPC) running Mac OS X 10.5.8?

    Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac?  If it did then the disks that came with your Mac will have an installer included to reinstall the preinstalled software.

  • How to download iPhoto for mac os 10.7.  (Mac completely restored 2wks ago

    I had my macbook completely restored about two weeks ago and unfortunately lost iPhoto along with it.  I have a mac os 10.7.  Is there any way to download an iPhoto that would work with this older system?  Everything I have been finding is for 10..8 or higher.  If there is no older iPhoto - is there another application that I can use to house my photos and have the editing capability?
    Thank-you!

    There is no way to download an iPhoto for anything less the v9.6, which only runs on 10.10.
    All the other things you see on line are updaters, not the basic app. For that you'll need to install from disk - you would have got disks with your computer. Try those.

  • How to darken a specific area in iPhoto for Mac?

    Hi. I am trying to darken a specific area (not the entire picture) in iPhoto on my Mac. How should I do that? Thanks!

    Nitin, the link you provided is a bit better than nothing, but it refers to the AVPlayer object in applications, rather than iOS delivered data.  In our experience currentTime is a settable property for the native video player in mobile Safari, using a normal progressive uploaded stream, as the documentation shows:
    http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AudioVideo/Reference/HTMLMediaEle mentClassReference/HTMLMediaElement/HTMLMediaElement.html
    The question is "Are there browser based methods that seek AMS delivered streams more quickly or with better accuracy?" 
    Everyone is aware that mobile is exploding.  On some of our videocentric apps the share for iOS is approaching 20%.  PM Kevin Towes, what are you doing to accomodate this need???

  • Can't see any of my photos in iPhoto for Mac

    I've had an iMac Late 2012 for two years. Since then, I've kept all my photos from my camera and my iPhone in the iMac's iPhoto app.
    For some months, I'd been having a constant problem: The events' icons were empty and it said the event's name and that it had 0 photos (each one had lots of photos). However, if I double clicked on the event, I could open it and I could see all the photos correctly.
    But, since last week I have a very serious problem with iPhoto. When I open iPhoto, it says something like how to import photos (as if I hadn't ever used it before), all my photos, events, etc. are gone. However, I realized something that maybe didn't make me so sad. I went to Finder > Photos > iPhoto library, I right clicked it and selected "Show information" (I'm from Argentina and my Mac is in Spanish, so I'm trying to translate the things of the Mac to English the best I can), and Finder says its size is 86 GB (so I hope all my photos and videos are here!!!).
    Extra data: 1. I right clicked the iPhoto Library folder in Finder and chose Show the content of the package, and there are two folders with the iPhoto Library icon called: Library.iPhoto and Library 6.iPhoto, both size is 22 bytes. Maybe could help you realize which is the problem.
    2. I also tried to updating my Mac to the last beta version, but the Photos app didn't solve my problem.
    That you sooooo much for your help,
    Greetings,
    Nicolas.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    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.

  • Edited photos in iOS show original photo after import or in iPhoto for MAC

    If I edit a photo using the Photos app (or one the filter integrated now with Photos app) and then import that photo to my Mac (both using iphoto or import) or PC (both using import or with cloud photo integration), and sometimes if i try to view the photo using another iOS app, the photo display the original, unedited version.
    the only way seems to duplicate the picture or to send it by mail.
    but when you have hundreds of pics, that is not a solution any more..
    and most of all i don't even want to import both the original and the edited version.
    i found this issue in an apple support page: below the link..
    but that page doesn't offer a solution one most of all it says that iphoto shouldn't have the issue...
    can you help me?
    thanks
    iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

    i verified..
    well, unfortunately these solutions are both not optimal..
    Shared Album:
    - you lose all the other informations (like location, date, etc..)
    - you lose quality
    - but at least is fast
    Sent by mail:
    - it keep full resolution
    - you still lose all other informations..
    - it is ok for a picture but not good for several..

  • Iphoto for mac

    I used the automatic transfer to move my iPhotos from my macbook to this new MacBook Pro. Every one of the 39,000 photos transferred, individually. Not a single one is in its album. Help! How do I start to get these reorganized?

    If you used Migration Assistant to move the library it's known for not working well with iPhoto libraries. If that's what you did follow Larry's recommended workflow to get the library to the new Mac.
