'DefaultPhotoDescription' under all photos in book

I just received my first book (Hardcover, contemporary theme) ordered from iPhoto. The quality is great and I would be very happy with it if the default text didn't show up under each photo! I received a warning about this and deleted the text under the photos that I did not want to have a caption. How could they let this get through the printing process? Does anyone know how to contact Apple to see if anything can be done about this problem?

I had the same problem on my cover.

  • Photos missing but when searching all photos in finder they are there

    Not long ago i noticed that all my photos after july 20th were missing. The next thing that was there was an update i did just 2 days ago which was the end of august at the time. So almost 1 month was missing out of my iphotos photos. I didnt know what to do and 1 day my wife was searching for a photo that did not show up in iphoto but in the finder under all photos its there. The data file the original and the modified photo full size are all there. in the folder date they should be in.
    I have tried rebuilding the iphoto database and nothing changes. I can open these photos in preview just fine i can email them to people i just can not see them in iphoto.
    I deleted my entire ilife 08 and reinstalled it from the DVD. that did not change anything
    I dont want to lose these photos but i cant figure out why they do not show in iphoto yet they are in the iphoto folder where they should be.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • All photos and trash bin

    I was looking at a picture under all photos. I then closed out the window but reopened it later. The picture was no longer under the all photos tab. It was in the trash bin. So is it possible to still view a photo under all photos even if it has been moved to the trash.

  • Why do hidden photos still show up in 'all photos'?

    I have been using Photos for a couple days now and I have noticed that when I hide a photo it gets hidden from 'moments', 'collections' and 'years' but not from 'All photos' under albums. Its frustrating since there is a specific folder under albums (that you can also hide from view) called 'hidden photos'. Why go through all that trouble of creating a 'hidden photos' album, that can be hidden from your folder list, to still allow all the hidden photos to be displayed under 'all photos' under albums? Seems to defeat the purpose.
    Am I the only one that is having this issue?

    I'm afraid that hidden photos do not work the same way that they did in iPhoto."All photos" is intended to include hidden photos. Hidden photos are only hidden from moments and collections.

  • Creating a book: view all photos by events

    When building a movie, you click on the camera icon and access all your photos in iPhoto, by event, album, whatever.
    Why can't you see them that way when building a book in iPhoto?
    The dropdown for photos in your build window not only doesn't show ALL your photos, it is really buggy about what it shows.
    It offers All Photos in Project, Placed Photos in Project, Unplaced Photos in Project, Last Import, Last 12 Months, Flagged, and THEN randomly lists ONE event... and even when you click on that event, it doesn't always pull THOSE pix. So, then I started trying to TRICK it to show what I needed. VERY annoying.
    And, since the iMovie program already has that set up, WHY can't it be that way in iPhoto.
    The presumption seems to be that, if you are building a book in iPhoto that you've already identified all the pix you want and have created a separate folder or something. But, sometimes the book might be a representation of say, 20 years of marriage, or something like that, and you want to be able to peruse all your event folders...
    PLEASE can this be considered?
    I am going to post this directly to Apple too, but thought I'd vent here.

    I may not have been clear in my description.
    When building a book, the bottom right corner of the screen shows icons for Add Page, Layout, Options, and Photos. When you click on photos, the ones that are available are as listed in my previous post (All Photos in Project, Placed Photos in Project, Unplaced Photos in Project, Last Import, Last 12 Months, Flagged, and one randomly selected event), but it's not a list of events, albums, etc, like it is in iMovie.
    In addition, as noted previously, the actual images that appear when I select that randomly selected event aren't always the ones from that event. That appears to be a bug.
    So, the question I posed isn't about how to view photos in the main iPhoto module, but in the BOOK module.
    Does that make sense?

  • How I can move my all photos and videos in my mac book pro

  • Difference between Photos label at top of screen and all photos under albums?

    Just wondering what the difference is being the box at the top left hand side of screen that is labelled 'Photos' and the one just below 'Albums' that is called 'All photos'.
    I can see that the 'Photos' area seems to be all photos on your mac, like the events stream was on iPhoto before and the camera roll on IOS iPhoto.
    I had expected 'All photos' under albums to be just those you had placed in albums, but I added and deleted a few photos to test this and could not see any difference between the effect on the two areas.
    I suspect all the previous 'events' have been folded together in one folder so that it is easy to see what was there on conversion,  but before I start dismantling this folder to suit the new layout I just want to make sure I understand how the deleting of photos from albums/the whole program works.  I have been prompted a couple of times if I am deleting from album or deleting altogether but deletions seem to affect both these streams?

    Photos is sorted based on the date of the photo.
    All Photos is based on date added. Don't know how it imported at first, but every photo you add from now on will be shown in the order added to the All Photos album no matter what date is in it metadata. And it will be placed in date order in Photos moments.
    If you import 100 photos and delete 20, you will have 80 photos left from the import. The 50 you put in an album doesn't affect the total amount you added to the library. It just means that you chose not to put 30 in an an album you created. You can put the same photo in as many albums you want to create. The actual photo still resides in the library.
    Don't confuse the system created albums with the user created albums. You can choose to remove a photo from a user created album without deleting it from the library. Or, you can choose delete from a user album which will delete from all albums and the library. But you can only delete from the system album.

  • Book  1.) show no metadata under the photo, 2.)add caption/text under photo

    Currently the Photo name is shown in the book under each photo. 1.) I would like to hide this information for printing. I played with the setting "enable/disable plate metadata" , but it has not impact, it shows the data no matter what this setting is.
    2.) At the same time I would like to add my captions under selected photos. How to do this?
    Thank you

    Hi Peter,
    1) For printing, I would delete the plate metadata completely. Go to Edit Layout mode, then click on the metadata box and press delete.
    2) To add captions, again go to Edit Layout mode, click the "Add Text Box" button - this places a text box on the page you're working on. You can then drag this box wherever you like. To add text, double click in the box and type away. To format your caption, click the Edit menu, then select Show Fonts. Just make sure the text is selected before you try to change the size or font.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why aren't all photos showing up under "Photos" in iPhoto?

    Hi
    I have noticed that not all photos show up when I have "Photos" selected in the Library on the left. There are photos I just imported from my iPhone and they show up when I select "Last import" or "Last 12 months" but not unter "Photos". Any ideas what is wrong here and how to fix this?
    (btw. I have no hidden photos)
    Kind regards
    Sebastian
    I am running the latest iPhoto and OS X

    If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Lat Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
    The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
    Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

  • I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad.  Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos.  Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded.  It will not let me select Selected folders.  How can I transfer additional photos

    I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad.  Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos.  Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded.  It will not let me select Selected folders.  How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • I see all of my contacts under "All Exchange" in the address book but can't get them into my iPhone.

    I don't get this but 95% of my contacts are listed under "all exchange" and I can't figure out how to get them into my iphone. I have "Sync Contacts" and "all contacts" checked in iTunes but it doesn't work. There is a message that says "Your contacts are being synced with MS Exchange over the air. Your contacts will also sync directly with this computer"... After backing the contacts up, I deleted the Exchange account off of my iPhone because I left the company. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • All photos gone with upgrade to iPhoto 9.6 ???

    Hi!
    I updated my Mac to OS X 10.10. Since opening iPhoto required an update to iPhoto 9.6, I made this upgrade as well.
    When starting the new iPhoto, I accepted to upgrade the library to the new format. There a mistake was found and a repair was necessary. When the repair was done, all photos were gone. Still the library file had a size of 500 GB, what gave me comfort to see, that the photos must still be there.
    Then I opened iPhoto in the repair mode and prompted the repair myself. After a little while it asked whether all found 212,000 photos shall be imported into iPhoto and I accepted. Then it stopped saying that the disk space will not be sufficient and I cancelled the process.
    Now looking at the iPhoto library, its size is only 2.69 GB and there are no photos in the masters folder.
    There is a new folder "iPhoto Recovered Photos" which includes 121,000 photos (243 GB) - without folder hierarchy, all in this one folder.
    It has to be noted, that iPhoto regularly complained about inconsistencies before, which have been repaired.
    Unfortunately, we made no backup of our photos ...
    Current storage: 466GB free out of 999 GB, 128 GB photos
    What can I do to get my photos back?

    1. Make a back up. Make a back up. Make a back up.
    Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a seatbelt. You can drive for years with no problem, but the day you do  have a problem the mess will be a lot bigger. Upgrading anything OS, Apps, whatever without first making a back up is drunk driving with a blindfold on and no seatbelt.
    2. I'm not sure what you've got right now. Is the 500 GB library still intact? If not, then really you're next job is to start over from scratch. Make a new Library and start importing all those photos again.
    3. If you do still have that 500 gb library intact, then try 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.
    4.
    It has to be noted, that iPhoto regularly complained about inconsistencies before, which have been repaired.
    If that happens once then it's not a problem, but when you get a message like that "regularly" then there is an underlying damage that's not being fixed.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I get Lightroom to download all photos on my turnkey computer afterwich upload w/o long wait

    I have a turnkey desktop computer dedicated for photography and video use only.  Below is a listing of tech points about the computer.  I operate with Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection.  Also installed is Lightroom 4.  I played around with the latter and immediately could appreciate how the software will expedite a lot of the work on photographs.  But, and this is a big one, after following through on the advice from several on-line "experts" by having Lightroom incorporate all the images on the computer into the Library, afterwards I could no longer bring up in Lightroom a photo to work on without having to wait ~3 to 5 minutes for each photo. 
    At some point I counted the number of images on my computer, can't remember how that was done but anyway, about 40,000 keeps coming up in my head.  I'm not absolutley sure but it's safe say there are a lot of photos on the computer.  My plan is to search through these photos and categorize them under subjects/ideas using Lightroom while still keeping my current filing system by year, month, day and subject.  Additionally, in the past few years I have been shooting a lot of RAW images and I believe using Lightroom would help me be more time efficient with any editing needed.
    I don't have a lot time/patience to play around with "possible" solutions, but am willing to try someting that has been known to work in cases like mine.  At the same time, if my computer set up and/or the number of photos I have installed is prohibitive for Lightroom to operate efficiently, I would be disappointed to hear such but just the same would be very appreciative to know in advance of further futile attempts.
    Thank you for your time and consideration,

    Rob,
    If I understand you correctly, a “bad” photo file will create problems for Lightroom that could include long delays when bringing up any image in the catalogue.  So I should do the following:
    1.       Start over with a new catalogue.  I think I am in that position by default more or less because I could no longer work with any images in Lightroom until after I deleted the catalogue which incorporated all of the images on my computer.  It just would not work.  Now Lightroom works again but with one folder (a photo shoot) at a time.
    2.       I have images on two 1 TB hard drives.  Not sure I could get all onto one hard drive. (suggestions)
    I was under the impression that Lightoom would search the entire computer and only pull photo images into a catalogue.  Is it possible that Lightoom would include video files?  I could put all photo images on one hard drive into one folder.  That would separate the images from video files.  But in the Lightroom cataloguing process, must I direct the process by indicating which folders are to be included in the catalogue?
    3.       All my current folders are by year, month, day, and event.  However, the numbering system for my Nikon cameras goes to 9,999 and then starts over at 0001.  Also, I use two cameras.  And, as newer/better cameras became available, I switch cameras.  So the number 0001, for example, has probably been used a number of times since I first started using digital.  All images are unique within a particular unique folder, but it would be a monster job locating all images with the same number.  All folders are unique, but I’m pretty sure there are duplicate numbers among images files.  And in some cases, there are duplicate images (with the same image) in different folders.
    4.       Does the presence of duplicate images or image numbers in separate folders mean I can’t expect Lightroom to function efficiently?
    5.       Is there a step by step process I could use that would allow me to bring in a year’s worth of unique folders containing images at a time, so I could test Lightroom to see if it has been adversely impacted?
    6.       I’m not familiar with third party renamers? 
    7.       I would be lost if I had to let go of (rename) my year, month, day, event organization.  I was hoping to use Lightroom to gather from these individual dated folders images I found that fit some theme such as weather, Northwest sports, nature shots, etc., without eliminating my current filing system.
    Sorry for responding with so many questions.
    Thanks for the time and consideration.
