Compatibility of iPhoto 4 and Leopard

I am still using iPhoto 4 (4.0.3), and have moved to OS 10.5.1. The discussion in a previous thread seemed to suggest that these two are compatible, and in general that seems to be true. But is it official?
I am seeing one strange effect in iPhoto since I upgraded to Leopard. If I select more than one photo and click on "email", I receive a message "Mail got an error: can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id 100043968 (different id every time, always 9 digits). Invalid index." This is a singularly uninformative message to me. And only one of the photos appears in the created email.
Does anybody have any ideas about this? Is it perhaps evidence of an incompatibility of these two softwares, or is something else going on? And is there anything I can do to track down the cause and fix it? Has there been an up-issue to iPhoto 4 beyond 4.0.3 that might help?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks eww.
At least I know where I am. For the number of times I need to do it, for the short term I can convert photos one at a time and then drag them all onto one email.
And yes, I expect to upgrade iLife sometime in the foreseeable future. It's just that it isn't a budget priority just now.
Regards, Paul.

  • IPhoto '08 and Leopard

    I am using an iMac G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, 160 GB Hard Drive and recently upgraded to OS 10.5.1 Leopard. I am using iPhoto '08 Version 7.1.1 (354) and currently have just over 3000 photos (8.2 GB) in the library.
    When I try to scroll in the photo viewing window when in "Photos" mode in the source list it is extremely slow, erratic and jerky. Also when in this mode even moving the "Zoom in/Zoom out" slider is slow and jerky. I don't check the "Outline" or "Drop Shadow" in the prefs.
    On the other hand when I go to "Events" mode in the source list everything seems to be smooth and fairly rapid, certainly by comparison. I am puzzled and very frustrated by this especially since I went to the trouble and expense to upgrade my memory to 1.5 GBs. Is Leopard the culprit or is it my latest version of iPhoto? Or both?

    jerrydav:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think it's the amount of memory that's the culprit. 1.5G is plenty. Is iPHoto slow in opening? Do you open into the Photo section with all thumbnails displayed? If so, select show Event names and close all of the events before shutting down iPhoto. Control click on of of the event triangles to open or close all at the same time. Having all the thumbnails open and fairly large can slow iPhoto a bit.
    How much free space do you have on your boot drive? Too little can definitely affect performance, not only of iPhoto but the system and other applications. Report back with how much free space you have.

    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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IPhoto 08 and Leopard Firewall not compatible

    Since I turned on the Leopard Firewall in the mode where it automatically add applications that need access iPhoto has been asking for permission to accept incoming Internet connections.
    Every time it does this I say 'Allow' and enter the Admin password, but it does not seem to take as this comes up every time I start iPhoto.
    iPhoto is listed in the Firewall with 'Allow incoming connections', but it still asks every time.
    Clearly a bug that needs sorting out.

    Ian:
    I've set my firewall to the 3rd option, "Set access for specific services and application". iPhoto is not listed in the list, only some applications that I want to block incoming connections for. No problems with that setup.

  • Iphoto 6 and leopard and words for month's missing

    I have found a strange problem in iphoto 6 and I am unable to fix it with a reinstall from the factory disks. For some reason all the month references in iphoto i.e. January, February, etc show up as letters J, F, etc.

  • Canon G1 compatible with iPhoto 09 and 08?

    I have an older canon camera a G1. It used to be recognized by my mac before I switched to iPhoto 09 and Leopard. Any body have any info on this? Is there a setting I'm doing wrong? iPhoto is set to import when camera is connected, it just does nothing. I'm not new to this, we've imported from this camera 100's of times, it's just since we switched to leopard etc that we noticed things changed.
    My kids computer with Leopard and iphoto 08 is also not recognizing the camera.
    Is Leopard the problem???
    Thanks...
    Message was edited by: wojopaul

    Are you shooting JPEG or RAW?
    Canons typically do not show up on the desktop but are seen by iPhoto and by image capture. Some have multiple connect modes - check your camera manual and/or menus (probably while you are connected) to see if you do and try each of them - I think it is mass storage mode that you want but do not have Canon cameras)
    Try Image Capture
    Consider getting a USB card reader - it have many advantages and will be a lot faster

  • IPhoto 6 and Camera Compatibility

    I recently upgraded my OS to 10.5.8 from 10.4... I know very late. I had no intention until the upgrade to my iPhone 3GS required it. Regardless, I am running IPhoto 6.0.6 and it has worked fine. I own a Canon T1i EOS Rebel digital camera. Up until the conversion to Leopard, I would plug the camera into the port and iPhoto would open up and transfer the pics without an issue. Today, I tried to upload pictures, the USB cord was secure on both sides and nothing happened. I turned the camera on and off twice to see if by starting it up connected would change things, nothing did. I ensured that the battery is charged in the camera and that the sleep setting was not tampered with thus not allowing it to transfer.
    I am suspicious about the upgrade to Leopard causing this incompatibility issue with my camera. When I did a search on the apple website, the page about iPhoto 6 and camera compatibility is a dead link. So a couple of questions if someone would be kind enough to help me out with:
    1) Is the import of pictures not occuring because of an incompatibility issue between my camera and iPhoto 6 suddenly? Or is incompatibility between 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6?
    2) What is the best solution? Upgrade to iLife '11? Or will that require upgrading to Snow Leopard as well? Or is it better to buy the $129 bundle of Snow Leopard, iLife and iWork for compatibility issues?
    3) Lastly, is there a webpage on apple that shows these compatibility issues? For instance, if I upgrade one thing in the future, all the other software suites that need updating as well?
    Thanks in advance to whomever can help me.
    Cheers,
    -Tod

    1) Is the import of pictures not occuring because of an incompatibility issue between my camera and iPhoto 6 suddenly? Or is incompatibility between 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6?
    Neither. The usual cause for this issue can be a damaged plist file, a setting on the camera or Mac or minor directory damage on the card.
    Plist file: Can you access the card with Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)? If so, you might try trash the iPhoto plist file, if not try trash the Image Capture plist file as well.
    Settings: What's set to happen when you connect the camera? With iPhoto 6 that's in the Image Capture. Your camera has two modes for talking to the Mac: Mass Storage and PTP. What one are you set to? Try the other one.
    Directory Damage: Have you tried using a USB Card Reader? Can the Mac see the card in that?
    Regards

  • HELPPP !!! ......... it's about iPhoto 6 and Snow Leopard.

    Please help. I have a Macbook 10.4.11 [Tiger] and it will soon be upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am planning on buying the $29 Snow Leopard [cheaper], instead of the $129 box set.
    My questions are: 1) Will I still have my iPhoto 6?
    2) Can I still use iPhoto 6 with Snow Leopard?
    OR
    3) Do I *have to buy* the box set?
    My partner had iPhoto 9, which had problems and from what I can tell, iPhoto 11 is much better, but it still has a lot of bugs. Thanks!

    Thank YOU! That was fast. [wow, my username {funny}--- Puto, *i meant* Pluto]
    Should I back-up everything on DVD, wipe my hard drive clean, reinstall Tiger and its iLife disk [which has iPhoto 6] and THEN install Snow Leopard? Does this sounds like a good idea? +Of course install my back-ups after Snow Leopard.+
    I heard/read that the above is better for Snow Leopard cause it runs better this way on the older Macbooks.

  • Info regarding Diswarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility

    I emailed Alsoft regarding Diskwarrior 4 and Leopard compatibility. Here is the response I got.
    +DiskWarrior 4.0 will successfully rebuild a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5+
    +Leopard installed or a disk that has been attached to a computer running+
    Leopard.
    +However, some operating system functionality has changed within Leopard+
    +itself. As such, there are some compatibility issues when running an+
    +installed copy of DiskWarrior 4.0 while started up from Mac OS X 10.5+
    +Leopard. Alsoft currently recommends that you do not run DiskWarrior 4.0+
    +while the computer is started from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.+
    +Instead, to run DiskWarrior, you should start up the computer from either:+
    +1) A DiskWarrior 4.0 CD.+
    +2) Any disk that starts up in 10.4.x and then run DiskWarrior 4.0.+
    +An updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
    +compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
    +owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
    +-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X+
    +10.4.x and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
    +All features work as expected with one exception: FileVaults created+
    +while started from Leopard are not visible to DiskWarrior 4.0 and cannot+
    +be rebuilt (repaired).+
    +-- What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.5+
    +and rebuilding a Leopard disk.+
    +While not recommended (and discouraged), if you do run DiskWarrior 4.0+
    +while started from Mac OS X 10.5 you might encounter some problems such as:+
    +1) There is a lengthy delay whenever DiskWarrior is determining which+
    +drives are currently attached. This delay is dependent upon the number+
    +of attached drives and may last up to 2 or 3 minutes. You will+
    +experience this delay when first starting DiskWarrior, whenever a disk+
    +is attached or detached while DiskWarrior is running but idle, and+
    +whenever a rebuild is completed or canceled.+
    +2) You cannot rebuild FileVaults or disk images.+
    +3) In step 9 (comparing directories) of a rebuild, the progress bar+
    +might get to 100% even though the comparison step is not finished.+
    +4) When performing Check All Files and Folders the progress bar might+
    +get to 100% even though the check is not finished.+
    +5) After rebuilding a disk, DiskWarrior may report that some files or+
    +folders have had their permissions changed. This is inaccurate and the+
    +permissions have not been changed.+
    +To repeat, an updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard+
    +compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing+
    +owners of DiskWarrior 4.0.+
    +-- What about DiskWarrior 3?+
    +DiskWarrior 3 and earlier versions are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.5+
    +(Leopard). Alsoft does not recommend running DiskWarrior 3 or earlier on+
    +a disk that has Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installed or a disk that has been+
    +attached to a computer running Leopard.+

    So, it seems it will work but you need to run it from the disk or if you have it installed on a external drive running Tiger, it will work.

    If you open your Tiger Address Book, select all cards, drag them to the desktop, it will make one big "mega-VCF" card with a name like "Alan Adams and 543 others.vcf" Dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine. They will all import just fine into your Leopard Address Book.
    Try doing something similar with your iCal data, Open the application, choose your calendars one at a time, and select File > Export. That should make a big "mega-ics" calendar card with a name like "work.ics" or "home.ics, i.e., "originalcalendarname.ics" with all the events of that calendar. Then same drill: dump that to a flash drive or email it to yourself, then doubleclick on it on the Leopard machine.
    Both generation methods create text files, which should import just fine into the Leopard applications.

  • OM-D EM-1 Raw Compatibility for iPhoto and Aperture - sooner rather than later please!

    Dear Aperture (and iPhoto) development team,
    Please add Raw Compatibility for OM-D EM-1 (Olympus) sooner rather than later....  I am a religious user of Apple software please do not give me a reason to have to learn a new application.
    Thank you,
    elleek

    Same problem with the pink/purple images from the E-M1. This happens with iPhoto, Aperture, and Preview. At first the files look normal but after the few seconds it takes for the system to process the RAWs they morph to purple. I know that the files are OK because they open just fine in Olympus Viewer3.
    If you try exporting the files in any format (jpeg. tiff, png) they're pink as well.
    I've posted things in a few other places with no repsonse. I'm actually glad to find this thread. I think I'll post a new thread with this as it's topic.

    I want to upgrade to snow leopard from 10.5.8. Im hesitant to proceed because I'm running iPhoto 7 and word 2004. I want to be sure these programs will still run and I won't lose my photos or the events I have ordered them by. Should i make a partition on my new Iomega external and clone it just in case? I'm running time machine and backing up all the time onto an old LaCie, and right now I have a copy of my iPhoto library on new Iomega, which I recopy every couple of weeks. I got the computer new several years ago and it came with iLife and 10.4 OS I think.

    Word 2004 is almost 10 years old, you will not be able to upgrade beyond Snow Leopard with it. IMHO you have gotten your money's worth out of the application and need to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, this will work just fine and read your old files just fine too. What will not run beyond SL are all PowerPC (PPC) apps such as Word 2004. You will need to update, upgrade or replace any PPC based apps you want to use. I would recommend taking a little time and check for updates to each of your apps. Then open System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) click the Applications link on the left and then look for any PPC based apps, those are the ones that will not run. You can upgrade to SL just fine with the apps you currently have however if you want to go beyond SL (it's already 2 generations behind) you will need to update or upgrade your apps. You can take your time doing it but eventually you're going to have to begin

  • Compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 on G5 PowerMac?

    Are there compatibility issues with Mac OSX Leopard V. 10.5 and Word 2004 11.6.3 when installed on a PowerMac G5? I understand the Leopard upgrade is okay on the later Intel Mac, but what about my G5 PowerPC Mac?

    I do not use Microsoft Excel much but when i do use it it works fine on my G5. my powerbook has excel to but sometimes freezes on the powerbook. but not the G5 so give it a try you can always uninstall it if it does not work good

  • Iphoto 2.0 and leopard

    If I load leopard on my powerbook which is running 10.4.10, is it going to let me keep iPhoto 2.0?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, as long as you do either a straight Update or Archive and Install. I don't know how compatible iPhoto 2 will be. It should work in it's basic way. You should ask that question in the iPhoto 4 and earlier forum. Someone there with iPhoto 2 may have installed Leopard and can answer your question from first hand experience.

  • IPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie don't work with Leopard

    Hi, I just installed Leopard onto my machine and iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie no longer work properly. For all three I get the error message "(This program) has unexpectedly quit." Can you help?

    my husband was having the same problem and it even bled into his sys prefs. the problems actually started after he ran software update last night (things were working find before that, and he's running leopard btw)
    he archived and reinstalled (he unchecked the "preserve users and settings box") and we're about to find out if that solved it.
    to summarize, you may need to reinstall if software update doesn't fix it. not sure what caused this problem. perhaps some corruption of files?

  • Iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard - problems

    With iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard, I now have a complete mess. Most of my photos and events are totally mixed up, out of any recognizable order.

    Make sure iPhoto is fully up to date (version 9.1.3), Load your iPhoto library backup and convert your library again

  • Am i the only one who has a RAZR2 V8 and Leopard with compatibility

    I am not able to use my phone modem to access net with my mac, or use the usb at all, or view the extended memory via bluetooth. help please!

    I have a RAZR2 V8 (T-Mobile) and Leopard and no luck connecting them with USB. We have a Win XP PC sitting around for when we have to do Windows things (most of the time it's turned off)--Windows Media Player 11 does a good job of getting music files onto the RAZR2.
    So you can send files to Windows (I've used real hardware, probably emulation would work too) or go with an iPhone if you don't have the RAZR2 yet or can switch contract/phones without too much hassle/cost. I know neither of these is an appealing answer for most people, the cost either way is significant.
    So far I don't know of any Mac programs to transfer files to cell phones--post suggestions if you have encountered any moderately priced shareware or freeware. I also haven't delved into the BlueTooth route, but I've heard that's really slow if it works.
