Help changing my user photo

im trying to change my user photo when i log into my MacBook air. I tagged faces into everyone one of my photos, but when I go to change my photo none of the pictures will show up under faces. It just says that I can go tag faces into my photos? Any help figuring out why they won't show up or how I can change my photo?

Hi Carissalong98,
Happy Holidays! Is the photo you want to use for your User account on your MacBook in iPhoto or Aperture?

How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

Hi, I would like to change Analyzer user password with Administration API. Can someone post some sample commands to do the task? I would just like to write an application to change end user's Analyzer password. As I see I would need to do the following: 1. login with admin userid/password 2. execute some method to change password for required userid. I think the input parameter should be userid (of the user I would like to change password) and new password (the new password for the user). 3. logout Can someone post some sample code (commands to execute)? Thanks, grofaty My system: Analyzer Server 7.0.1. Essbase server 7.1 Windows XP SP2 

<blockquote>quote: <hr>Originally posted by: knightrich Hello Mr. Jordan. I would like to exchange some thoughts about "housekeeping" Analyzer reports in preparation for migration from Analyzer 7.0.0.0.01472 to 9.x: ... Did you solved such a problem or do you have an idea if it could be solved with the Admin API methods? ... Migration from 7.00 to 9.x: As we heard last week the "Migration Wizard for Reports" in 9.3 should be able to migrate reports. Do you have experience or more detailed information about that Wizard? Many thanks in advance knigthrich<hr></blockquote> knighrich, I'd like to be more help, but I have no experience with System 9. I did substantial cleanup when we migrated from Analyzer 6 to Analyzer 7.1, and even more cleanup when moving up to 7.2, but our installation is smaller in scale than yours and we didn't need to automate report cleanup. You might be able to get the ownership information you need through the back door, doing a direct query on the database, but simpler might be an export users, at least from 7.0. (This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository. Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs. Certainly a call to customer support to identify a poorly documented feature would be in order.

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

New mac user struggling with iPhoto

OK, I feel like an idiot, I never imagined moving from a PC to a Mac would have such a learning curve! I have added about 1500 photos to iPhoto, sorted them into albums and folders and batch changed to text titles.... My library looks good.
I take my zillion digital photos and maybe download to the computer every week or month. There will be photos from several different events. Since I don't want that whole batch left together, I immediately sort into albums and folders. I can do this and use iPhoto easily, but my problems come when I try to access my photos outside of iPhoto. So if I choose to attach a photo to an email, or more importantly, create something in Shutterfly, all heck breaks loose! In my old world (using first Photo Shop Album and then PSE) I could just jump on Shutterfly, click add pics, browse and my album names would show and I could just import to Shutterfly. Now I do the same thing but I can find nothing. What am I missing? I thought when I batch changed everything it would solve my problem. Am I just not looking in the right place? This seems like it should be simple and I am a very experienced computer user, but I have not used a Mac in years and have never used iPhoto until now.
I wanted to just buy PSE for the Mac but I read that it is not really for the Intel based machines, so now I wait. I have no idea what other programs might work for me. Honestly, I want to do very simple stuff here, this surely can be done
Please advise : )
Lesa

Lesa,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Yes, there is a learning curve. Apple has some helpful information about the how to use the features of OSX: http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/ and for PC users switching to Mac: http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/.
Once you import photos into iPhoto, there is no need to access them through the Finder (think Windows Explorer). In fact, it is strongly recommended that you do not tamper with the items inside the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder in any way. Changes you make will not be recognized by the database, causing damage to the library and even a totally corrupted database. With your PC you were used to file browsing. iPhoto is not a file browser, and browsing through its structure to access your photos can lead you to damage the database.
To use your photos, launch iPhoto. There are many ways to organize them from within the application. To use them outside iPhoto, select the ones you want and do File > Export > File export to a folder on your desktop. The export dialog gives you the option to rename based on your iPhoto titles or album. You also have the option to resize your photos for better performance in an email or on a website. Upload the exports from the desktop, then delete it when you're finished. The originals remain safe in your iPhoto Library folder.
Albums have no representation in the Finder at all. They do not contain your files, but only a set of instructions for iPhoto to display your photos together. This allows photos to be in many albums with no duplication of the files.
When you title a photo, you do not change its filename. iPhoto keeps the original intact with no alterations, including the filename. The only way to rename the file itself is to do it before importing into iPhoto, or upon export from the library as I described above.
Two other ways to access your photos are to drag a thumbnail to your desktop, which creates a copy on your desktop for use in another application. Or right-click (Control-click) a photo and choose "Show File" from the contextual menu. A Finder window will open with that photo selected.
You can set iPhoto to work with an external image editing application in iPhoto's preferences. I use PSE 4, and I highly recommend it. With it set as my editor, I choose my photos from within iPhoto, double-click to open them in PSE, edit, then Save. This gets them saved back into the iPhoto Library, and my edited version replaces the thumbnail I see in the iPhoto viewing window. My mini is a PPC, so I can't give you an idea of how well (or how slow) PSE works on an Intel Mac. I haven't personally seen anyone not use it due to being on an Intel machine. There are others here who know - perhaps they'll chime in.
Another excellent resource is the iLife Multimedia tutorials. You can begin with iPhoto, then find links for iMovie and the others. http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/
Please don't hesitate to ask as many questions as you need.
Regards.

Exporting photos with Iphoto '08

How can I export metadata of photos such as the comments using Iphoto '08? There only seems to be the option for exporting a photo's title?

tr3der:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where are you wanting to export the comments to? If you export a photo that has a comment assigned to it that comment will be written to the file that gets exported. Applications that can read the metadata will be able to see the comments as well as the titles and keywords if that check box is selected.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Changing Account User

I recently tried to change my user short name by selecting the folder, in the users folder, and changed the name in "Get Info" (under file menu). All seemed well until I logged out and back in again. I then found that my user, which I had renamed, was not the user I logged into, and that a new user, under the old user name, was the user I logged into which had gone to all the default settings. Fortunetly I can still access my old user folder, but I would really like to make the old renamed user the user I log into.
Please help! All replies and aid will be much appreciated.
If in any doubt as to my problem, (I realise that the above description isn't very clear) please ask.

That's correct. Two ways you can find it are in Workgroup Manager before you've deleted the account, or by looking at the ownership of the files in a terminal after you've deleted it. In Workgroup Manager, the User ID field is located in the basic account pane for each user. If you're not familiar with operating a shell in the terminal, the alternative is somewhat more complicated but I could provide you with instructions if you need them. Basically, though, if a user account is deleted and you ask the filesystem the owner of a file, it will report the UID instead of the user name. As UID is how ownership is actually tracked, without the user name to map to the UID is all it can tell you.

How to throw off photos with iPhoto (Mac) on Windows PC?

I have more than 1000 photos in iPhoto which I would like to throw off on windows to process them there. I copied photos on a flash card, copied on the hard disk PC. But my computer (windows 7) can't open these photos! ! ! They, for some reason gray, translucent. On Mac everything opens well. I formatted a hard drive already by means of standard windows of the utility, but then I with Mac on a flash card can't throw off anything. Help, please. To archive and send option on an e-mail not to offer - the Internet very slow.

Custom size photos with iPhoto 6?

Hi,
I'm trying to print a photo in passport size (which is 2x2, I believe). I found directions for doing this with iPhoto 08, but not iPhoto 6 (which is what I have). Can this be done with the older version of iPhoto?
Thanks,
Hania

Hania:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, there's no custom size option in iPhoto 6. You'll need to use a 3rd party application to print a custom size.

I can't access edited photos with iphoto

I am new to iphoto 08.
I have preferences set up to edit iphoto images with photoshop CS3. After editing a photo, I use the option save in same folder but iPhoto does not show the edited photo, just the unedited photos. I can see the location of the new photo using spotlight (the path indicates that the photo is in the same folder as the unedited photos in iPhoto) but am unable to see the photo in iPhoto.
Any ideas? Thanks, David

NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds

Impossible to sync photos with iPhoto

It is no longer possible to sync photos using iPhoto. With Aperture everything works well.
iPhone 3GS with iOS4 not JB, iTunes 9.2, MAC OSX 10.6.4

I found the problem. This is a new bug introduced in 8.1 of iPhoto.
According to iPhotoManager:
Another recently introduced problem, which appears to only happen with iPhoto 8.1, has to do with music that you've assigned to a custom slideshow. If you have created a slideshow in iPhoto, and using the "Settings" button, have assigned a song from your iTunes library to be played with that slideshow, then if that song has an ampersand (&) character anywhere in the path to the music file (this can include the name of the artist, the album, or the song itself), iPhoto does not write it out correctly to the XML file and you get an error. If you do have a music file assigned to a slideshow, you will either need to assign a different song, or remove any ampersands in the path to the song and re-select the same song in iPhoto to update it to the new location. (make sure to click "Apply" in the settings window to make your change "stick").
This was my problem. I had a song from Simon & Garfunkel in a slideshow and the Path to the song had the & that was malformed.
I removed the slideshow and I am now working.
Apple please fix this bug. I wasted over 5 hours until I went and purchased iPhoto Library Manager and it immediately pointed out the problem.

Cannot see photos with iphoto

I tried to backup my photos with a new drive. I had them all on an external lacie drive that was full. I moved the photos and now iphoto cannot see them. I made a copy on my hard drive but iphoto still cannot seem them. I opened the package and all the photos are there, thank god. However, I cannot get them into iphoto for browsing. Any ideas? I am running iphoto 08 and 10.6.8.
Bill

If you don't have a Preferences option under the iPhoto menu then you have a damaged iPhoto preferecne file or a damaged applicaiton. First make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a viable 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.
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 you'll need to reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

Managing photos with iPhoto in iPad

My target is to manage my photos with my iPad, iPhoto and iCloud without PC or Mac. Now I have noticed that their is quite many limitations: 1) iCloud backups only the camera roll (not other albums although I have created them by the old Photo apps?) 2) in iPhoto I can copy only one photo at the same time from the photo stream to the camera roll (and after that iPad copies automaticly the copied photos back to the photo stream) 3) in iPhoto I can't create a new album from the photos which locate in the photo stream (in the old Photo app this is possible). Could somebody give hints to me if there are some other possibilities to manage photos without PC or Mac?

iPhoto for iOS uses the photos and photo organization found in the Photos app. You might just have to go back to that app to accomplish those tasks it does well and iPhoto for iOS does not.
