I have a disk from a friend with pictures...she has iphoto 8 and I have iphoto 6. when I put the disk in a message appears in iphoto 6 that says:
"you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto"
Of course I don't have the latest version my friend who made me the cd has the new version...but shouldn't I be able to open it up???? please help!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If that disc was made with the Share -> Burn command, then no, you shouldn't be able to open it, as v6 cannot read a v7 library, and that's what's on the disk.
Ask your friend to create a disk of images by exporting the pics from iPhoto to the desktop, and then burning them using the Finder. That way you get a folder of images that cab be viewed by anybody.

I'm trying to upload pictures from iphoto to stores such as walmart or costco for prints. the images won't upload to these sites. i'm new to mac so i know i'm missing a step somewhere.

i'm not able to upload pictures from iphoto to stores such as walmart or costco to order prints. the images just won't load. does anyone know what i'm doing wrong??

Well, since there is no function to export from iPhoto to these sites directly, here is a simple way how you can try it:
- create a folder on your desktop
- name it like "WalMart pics"
- open iPhoto
- resize it so you can still see the folder you just created
- select the pictures you want to send to the store in iPhoto and drag them onto the new folder
The folder now contains the pics you selected. Now go to the stores' websites and upload the pictures from that folder.
You might also use the "Share" option in iPhoto to get the photos into a folder, but I like the direct drag and drop better.

How do I put pictures from iphoto onto external hard drive

I would like to transfer most of my pictures from iphoto to and external hard drive to free up space. I was sold a WD elements and said its a plug and play then drag onto drive. When I try to drap photos to the external drive it won't let me. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is a brand new drive? Make sure it is formatted so you can read and write from a Mac. (Plug and Play could mean P&P on Windows.)
With the drive connected, run Disk Utility. It's in Applcations / Utilities. Select the drive (on the left) reformat it. This will erasse everything on the drive - but I assume it is empty since you could not write to it.
See this thread for details.

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library" what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported. the file is in the iphoto library folder" also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. 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 and apply all available updates to it.

How do I export a set of pictures from iPhoto to Photos

My MacBook Pro now has OS X 10.10.3 and the new Photos app.
I have over 30K pictures in the iPhoto app in this laptop, and I do not have the need to sync all of these pictures with all of my iOS devices; I won't be using iCloud.
I was not able to determine if Photos can import sets of pictures from iPhoto; I could have imported all of my pictures from the iPhoto library but did not find out if Photos does have the option to import sets as per user's needs; I saw Photos allow the user to select those he/she wants to import but I don't think I would like to select these one by one from 30K photos.
I will like to transfer sets of these pictures selected by date taken from iPhoto and export them to Photos library I created in an external volume. I need to free some space in my HD.
Any suggestions?

There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

Copy pictures from iphoto 08 to sd card

Can someone tell me step by step how to copy pictures from iphoto 08 to an sd card using a card reader?

hi, is there a way to have the SD card appear directly in iphoto in a way that allows you to drag and drop photos into it the same way you might do so with an album? I tried doing this with the default format of the SD card and it would show up but not let me view the contents or copy photos onto the SD card. They I tried using disk utility to reformat the SD card as a macOS Extended device and now it doesn't even show up in iPhoto. The main reason I'm trying to do this is so that my father will have an easy way to transfer photos from iPhoto to his digital photo frame using the SD card. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

How do I put just pictures from iphoto to idvd to make a dvd?

Okay. I had a lot of trouble today. I wanted to get pictures from iphoto to a dvd. So I did that by going to iphoto then share then burn. Well, that worked on my blu ray. The pictures would come up sorta like iphoto (the rolls and everything) But my videos did not work however. But I figured out that they were .mpg and they need converted. But I heard that what I did (using iphoto) won't work on reg. dvd players but for some reason it works on my blu ray. Anyways, I heard that using idvd will work. How do I get my pictures over to idvd and burn it to a dvd? I tried doing this once but the themes were what was messing me up. The pictures would show up in a theme and I don't want that just the pictures. Any advice, tips, etc would be appreciated!

Hi lace66
Welcome to apple discussions. You may wish to pose the very same question to the iPhoto Forum also since I'm not 100% certain if any of the following apples to iPhoto 6 => iDvd. It's really a question for that particular forum. It's been months since I've worked in earlier versions of iLife. However, w/in ilife'08 as well as the latest iLife version '09; you could do it easily like this:
click here
Essentially you simply select the photos you want within iPhoto, go to the top menu where it says "Share" => Send to iDvd. Or (another option) you could burn your photos directly one step down on the drop down menu where it says "Burn" (directly below "send to iDvd") if I'm not mistaken.
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Hi! I am trying to print pictures from iPhoto. I follow the directions and select a photo and click file-print-but it doesn't give me any size/printing options. Instead I get a message that says "no themes available". Do I need to install themes?

Hi-I am trying to print pictures from iphoto. I selected a picture and tried file-print. But instead of giving me size/layout options, it gave me a message, "no available themes". Not sure what to do next--something I need to install?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

How do I move my pictures from iphoto on my mac book to iphoto on my new Desktop?

I am not sure what how to transfer all my pictures from iphoto on my old mac book to my new desktop computer. Any help would be appreicated.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

I cannot pull up pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get an exclamation mark inside a triangle

I cannot open pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get this exclamation point inside a triangle

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.
