Copying iPhoto folders to CD for TV viewing

I'm looking for a way to copy 6 mos. worth of iPhoto folders with jpegs and TITLES to a CD that I can play for TV viewing. The real problem is getting the folders with titles out of iPhoto in jpeg form so they are catalogued. Any suggestions?

The tip refers to the file "Library6.iPhoto" that is in the iPhoto Library folder. That's the file that often gets damaged or corrupted and makes iPhoto think there are no photos in the library or that the files are missing but the thumbnails are there. I just select it and type Command-D to make a copy of it which ends up as "Library6 copy 1.iPhoto". When I need to backup again I delete that file and make another copy of it.
For protection of HD problems and really losing your files I suggest an external Firewire HD. An 80G drive is not that expensive and can hold your iPhoto Library folder and, in general, your entire User folder. That folder contains all of your important, non-replaceable files. The system and applications can be replace
That being said DVDs can be used with iPhoto's Share->Burn Disk menu option to burn multiple rolls to disk in the iPhoto format. This will allow you to mount that disk in iPhoto like this to copy back those rolls into a new library is that were necessary. As you get a number of new rolls you can burn another disk. Or use a CD and burn fewer rolls as they are added. That preserves the keywords, albums they were in, comments, etc. You can also burn slideshows.
The external HD is the easiest and quickest way. By backing up the entire iPhoto Library folder (i.e. copying it to the external HD and then keeping it current with a backup program like Synk, you can avoid most any catastrophic crash on your HD. I don't have my external drive running all the time. I only turn it on and mount it when I have some backups to perform.

IPhoto folders not appearing for online upload on Yosemite

I have all of my photos in iPhoto organized into events. In Mavericks, when uploading photos online (to facebook, pinterest, etc) I was able to easily find what I was looking for since the iPhoto events appeared in my internet browser. Since updating to Yosemite, I am not able to find what photo I am looking for since the events do not appear. My entire iPhoto library appears instead.
I have a macbook pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I typically use chrome, but the upload doesn't work in Safari either. iPhoto version 9.6.

Try quiting iPhoto or restarting iTunes, or turning the Apple TV off and on, or basically anything to close and re-open the homeshare connection.

Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk. If that fails to help I'd try the following:
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 Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I would like to copy and paste photos from iphoto to a cd for use

I would like to copy and paste photos from iphoto to a cd for use. How can I do this so it can be used for further work in other computers without iphoto?
Steve

You can't do that.
Export the Photos (File -> Export) to a folder on the desktop. Then burn that to the CD using the Finder's Burn Disk command.

Exchange 2013 public folders are sending read receipts for items viewed in public folders

We have Exchange 2013 with public folders. These public folders are used for a large amount of shared contacts. When a user goes into the public folders and double clicks on a contact to view it, Exchange dispatches a read receipt to all users
that are configured as publishing editors to notify them that a certain contact was read. How do I disable this option?

hi again dear.. :)
"At first, I would like to say the
read Receipt is not sent out by the device, it is sent out by the Exchange server. This is how it works and what happens:
1.
E-mail with request for send
receipt is received on the Exchange server;
2.
E-mail is synchronized with Windows Mobile based device using Exchange
ActiveSync;
3.
When e-mail is
read on Windows Mobile based device the read status is synchronized back to the Exchange server;
4.
The Exchange server creates and sends out the
Read Receipt when receiving the Read status update from the device;
The above is how this is implemented and there is no functionality which allows preventing this from occurring on the Mobile device.
It seems that there is an alternative method to disable RR using transport rules. However, it will at the risk of the filtering out other messages
with the same subject.
Towards the third party mobile clients that support RR and DR, you might consider using Flexmail 4.11. It’s impossible to deactivate ActiveSync
RRs in Exchange server 2007/2010."
also
One way to stop read receipts being triggered through client side configuration on the mobile is to use the option "Don't Mark Read on server".
I have tested this successfully using this option in the TouchDown mail client on Android.
Not sure if the standard or other mail clients do support this option, TouchDown certainly does and it works.
The side effect obviously is, that the read status isn't synced back to Exchange anymore:"
hope now i r clear... one way or the other... you need to send a feed back or define a transport rule... but that again may create problem with the same subject :)

IPhoto folders are all messed up and my pics arent showing up correctly..

I tampered with the iPhoto folders...I renamed files and moved things around thinking I was organizing things.. but now my photos in iPhoto arent working correctly. Some photos show a thumbnail but dont open.. and all I get is a gray screen with an exclamation mark. Other photos open but at very poor quality.. around 32KB instead of the 1.6 MB that they should be!
What can I do to fix this problem?
Also, my computer seems to have 5 copies of all my photos. One copy that is the original... another that is smaller and then more random copies. How can I get rid of those copies.. I've got like 2,000 of them! Ahhh..
Somebody please help! Any suggestions??

Hi Diana,
#1 Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
#2 It seems you moved photos around and some thumbnail photos from the Data folder were put in the originals folder (photos open at 32k) and the ones missing (renamed by you). This is how it is supposed to be in the Finder;
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
There is no way to recover from this except to start over with just the original files. This would entail creating a new library, going through the old library and finding all the full sized images and deleting the thumbnail images
#3 Here are the instructions for creating a new library. BUT remember that in your case it is not as simple as importing the Originals folder again as you moved photos around and in and out of the wrong folders. You are going to have to find all the originals and delete the smaller thumbnails of the same name (unless the originals were overwritten by the thumbnails when you moved photos around because an image has the same name in all the folders (Data, Original and Modified).
close iPhoto
-drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
-launch iPhoto and create a new library
-double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
-the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
-the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
-Drag these two folders to the desktop
-If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
-If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
-If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
-If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
-the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

I am trying to copy iphoto library Error Code 36

I am trying to copy iphoto library from one hard drive to another and get the message The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36) = Need to back iy up or my wife will kill me. thanks for help

Here is something you can try:
Obtain iPhoto Library Manager. It is an inexpensive program you can download. Run it and tell it to REBUILD your iPhoto Library from your original iPhoto Library. It will create a NEW file in a destination that you specify (you can specify the other hard drive and thus get a backup all at once) and try to recreate the iPhoto Library based on the info from your original one. Depending on the problem causing your -36 file error, iPhoto Library Manager may (a) successfully recreate your entire photo library successfully on the other hard drive; (b) recreate all of your original photo library except for the part that is damaged; or (c) won't be able to finish at all if the disk problems are severe enough.
If (c) happens, you may have to copy the actual photos individually out of the iPhoto Library and into a new iPhoto Library. The actual photos are inside the iPhoto Library. You can find them by control-click once on the iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents. The folder called Originals or Masters has the photos (originals) and a folder called Modified or Previews has the edited photos. I suggest COPYING (not moving) these folders to the external drive. You will then need to re-import the actual photos inside these folders to a new iPhoto Library.

Mac Mini wont start after power outage, and problem copying iPhoto library. HELP!

    So, recently there was a power outage in my neighborhood, the power was intermitent for about 2 hours, during this time my mac rebooted itself several times, but on the second time it rebooted the power went out during boot, then the power finally went out for good, it was back in about 3 hours, but when i finnaly turned on my mac it got stuck at the Apple logo with a spinning wheel and a progress bar that wouldnt go past 40%, when i boot holding command -v it said that there were a lot of errors which were automatically fixed, except for one, "Incorrect Thread records" or something like that.
    I have another partition with Mountain Lion installed for emergencies, the other one with Lion became inaccessible to mountain lion or any other OS X version, but oddly enough, I can access my Lion partition via HFSexplorer and see all my files untouched.
    My main concern are my pictures in iPhoto, and thats about 36Gb of data, I want to backup them to my windows pc by copying the whole iPhoto library package, but HFSexplores for some reason cant copy the folders with date (XX/XX/XXXX) with the /, and it keeps changing them to XX_XX_XXXX and I know that would pretty much break my iPhoto library!
I googled my drive problem and people said that I need a Disk Utility called DiskWarrior, but I cant seem to find how to to use it, I got a copy from a friend, it was the digital version of the boot disk which need to be burned to a dvd.
Any help would be appreciated, and sorry for the bad english

Copying iPhoto to an external hard drive

I bought a Lacie Firewire external hard drive but I can't remember how many GBs it holds b/c I bought it a while ago, can't find the reciept and can't see it displayed anywhere on the unit. Does anyone know how to find that out?
I'm trying to copy my entire iPhoto library onto the Lacie drive. I've read through many threads on this site about the procedure for this but I get stuck on the first step: copying the iphoto library folder to the Lacie. When I try the system copies for a while, but then a pop up comes up and says, "You cannot copy the item "Icon" b/c the name is too long or includes too many characters that the disk cannot display". From here I'm forced to click OK and then the system stops copying. What I'm left with is a partially copied iphoto library on the Lacie. Can anyone help me solve this problem? I tried coping each folder individually, but in the threads it seems that that is not the correct procedure.
How can I ensure that I have my ENTIRE iphoto library on the external hard drive? I'm also worried now that I may have copied some folders twice. Is there anyway to discover and get rid of doubles?
Many, many thanks for your help.
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.0.x)

Hi
if your drive won't accept the filenames used on your mac - I imagine that the external drive may be formatted to something other than the std Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
You can see how the external is formatted using Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder.

Copying iPhotos from my iMac to my Nook Color

How do I copy iPhotos from my iMac to my Nook Color?

File -> Export. Select the format that the Nook supports - probably Jpeg - and complete the export to the desktop. Then you'll need to consult the Nook manual for how to get it on there.
Right click or control click on the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder and "show package contents" inside is a folder called Originals, Finder > duplicate it and move OriginalsCopy out
1. This won't get any edited versions, only exporting will
2. The folders are renamed in iPhoto 11.

Iphoto folders(organized) transferred to photoshop?

Due to my occupation I have to use a PC. I have photoshop on both Mac and PC.
1. Is there any way to transfer my iphoto folders and pics to windows and keep the organization I have?
2. Is there anyway to keep organization of iphoto folders and pics and transfer to photoshop on my existing mac? I was thinking maybe the transfer to windows would be easier if I could transfer my folders and pics to photoshop mac. Then transfer photoshop folders and pics to windows.
Basically I would like to keep my organization of pics in iphoto, photoshop mac, and windows. Is there an easy way to do this.
Or once you go iphoto you never go back.........?

Articaine:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you copy only the Originals folder and its contents from your iPhoto Library folder to your PC you'll have all your original image files in folders that represent the rolls in iPhoto. So if you want to do some additional organization before copying to the PC select files your want to group together in the main library and the create a new roll with them.
You can rename the rolls from within iPhoto so that the subfolders in the Originals folder have more meaningful titles.
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, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why do iPhoto folders look different on iPad?

Why do iPhoto folders look different on the iPad? When I launch the Photos app on the iPad you get a list of photos and photo albums that I have synced from my laptop. All is fine. However...
The photo albums are in a different order.....I can't see name or tag data with the folders .... impossible to search for specific pictures by name......Mainly, the entire interface is so different. Instead of simple vertical list of photo albums (as on the Mac or the iPhone, iPod, the iPad presents you with an array of those graphic-image photo piles -- the ones where the first picture in the album is shown on top, etc.
Does this bother anyone else? Anyway to make photos and photo albums on the iPad more closely resemble the photo/album list you see on the Mac?
David in KC

The Photos app on the iPad is just a basic photo viewer and isn't as sophisticated as iPhotos on the Mac and has limited functionality. Third-party apps will probably give you more of the functionality that you mention, but you can't change the Photos app.

From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
