Does iPhoto read APS cassette # on Kodak Picture CD

I've loaded pictures into iPhoto from a Kodak Picture CD from APS film. The photos load as well as the date and time of day that the picture was taken. There is a cassette # on the film cartrige and Picture CD. Is there a way to get this info automatically loaded in my iPhoto files. Thanks
Owen

Owen:
No. iPhoto only reads EXIF data from digital cameras. You'll have to enter that information manually into the Comments field. Or you could create an album and give it the cassette # as a title. But for date and time, it's only available on files from digital cameras.
Do you Twango?

Does iPhoto 11 upload high resolution Facebook pictures?

When uploading pictures from the Facebook website it gives you an option to upload pictures in high resolution.
My question is does iPhoto 11 upload pictures in high resolution or does it use the 'normal' Facebook resolution option?
Thank you

Hey I have the same question.
I uploaded an album using iPhoto images although I uploaded them using Facebook.com and they look wonderful. Now I went the lazy route and used just iPhoto to upload to facebook and the images all look blurry and distorted. I think it doesnt upload it the way it should which should be High-Quality. When you use facebook.com it allows high quality but iPhoto doesn't even mention it sadly.

Does iphoto make a copy of my pictures?

When I import pictures into iPhoto, does that result in two photo files of the same photo or does iPhoto just make an index of the location of the original photos?
I have a vast collection of photos in many folders. It would be a waste of disk space to duplicate them all.
Thanks for any light you might shed on this question.

If you run a Referenced Library iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Your decision, obviously, but best to be aware of the ramifications.

Does iPhoto library have to be in pictures folder?

My external HD is getting buggy, so currently moved my iPhoto library to my documents folder, should I have placed it in my pictures folder instead? Does it matter?
thanks

It doesn't have to be but that's where iPhoto looks for it if there's an interruption while using iPhoto and it loses the link to the other location. Then it might create a new library and confuse things. Personally, I'd move it to the Pictures folder.

Why does iPhoto keep freezing when I edit pictures, forcing me to have to keep quitting it?

Hi.
I have an imac and an iomega external hard drive on which I store the pics in iPhoto.
Each time I decide to edit a picture, after about three steps ( crop, change to B & W and then sharpen for instance), the thing just locks up, which is when I have to 'force quit' the application.
It is driving me to absolute distraction... this should be a simple task.
Any answers as to why this happens would be much appreciated.
( All software is up to date)

I have not used iPhoto '08 in a very long time, so I hope TD is still following this thread.
This 2008 Mac has 1GB of Ram, which I don't think I can expand/add to?
If you can add to the RAM will depend on the model.
But 1GB might be insuffícient, if you are processing very large image files. What kind of images do you have? Are you processing large scans or moderately sized jpegs?
I'd refrain from running any other programs concurrently, while working with iPhoto. Close Safari and any other app that might be needing much RAM.
If you did not import anything new, I'd try to repair your iPhoto library. Make a backup, before you do that.
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.

How many copies of pictures does iPhoto '08 stores on hard drive?

I'm relatively new to Mac and completely new to iPhoto - have used Photoshop, etc, and Graphic Converter for quite some time. Upgraded to iPhoto'08 recently, and have a newbie question - how does iPhoto stores picture files? It seems that it creates at least 2 copies of every picture! And then there are thumbnails folder with same pics. This is insane! I have about 180 GB of pictures I wanted to import and catalogue in iPhoto, but now I have second thoughts cause I don't think I will have enough space to keep 3 copies of everything! Is there a way to tell iPhoto to just use pictures stored somewhere and not make copies for itself, and then another copy for something else? Please help, I realy like iPhotos' user interface, but need to make sure I'm not keeping 2 or more copies of every picture on my hard drive. Thanks!

You can use iPhoto in the alias mode but there are some caveats with that mode. Once a photo is imported into the library as an alias, the original source file cannot be moved or it will brake it's link to the alias in iPhoto. If the external HD is dismounted while working in iPhoto the database file, Library6.iPhoto can get corrupted and without a backup copy (see the tip at the end of my signature) you'll have to start over with a new library.
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. iPhoto doesn't have to be closed to use it, just idle. 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto does not read images/has moved the images

Hi,
I was importing pictures from my iPhoto library to a friends HDD last night, and when the import finished I found my 2010 folder of pictures that should have been in the iPhoto library, on my desktop for some reason. Without thinking and after checking iPhoto to realize that it wouldn't read my images, I immediately put it back into the appropriate iPhoto location, where it did nothing.
Now I can't read any of my images, they are essentially all lost. I have time machine backups but I don't understand why it doesn't work, I tried to back the iphoto file up to the last backup I had but nothing happened.
Why does iPhoto appear as a file (not a folder) when I view it in finder, but when I right click an image while iPhoto is running to view it's location, the iPhoto file is now a folder with all my pictures.
My only backup is the time machine backups but I don't know why it won't work... Please help, I want all my pictures back and not just the thumbnails
Thanks,
Andrew

I believe that that restored the photos to the existing iPhoto library with sound like has been corrupted
I would suggest opening Time Machine in the dock and going back to a time before the problem, selecting the iPhoto library at that time and clicking restore and using the keep both option to restore the backup to a different location
Depress the option key and launch iPhoto and switch to the restored library and test it - once you have a good, working library you can delete the old library form your pictures folder and move the working library there - option launch again to point to the restored library
then do the import again -
Nothing about doing an import should do what you described - something else caused that
And in the future remember that you must NEVER make any changes of any sort (including dropping folders into it) to the content or structure of the iPhoto library using the finder

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

After takimg the picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF it does not read clearly words are meshed together

after taking a picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF
it does not read clearly. words are meshed together

Hi melisaf76024648,
Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.
Best,
Sara

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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. .

Why does iPhoto create multiples when importing pictures?

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
iPhoto version 9.6
I have a new MacBook and I am attempting to import pictures to iPhoto that were created by various devices - old digital cameras, scanners, iPhones. The original images import without trouble, however iPhoto is creating an extra THREE pictures for each ONE that I import. Please see the attached screenshot of my iPhoto after importing a few folders. Take for example the Bowl for Kids folder - you will notice that the original folder has 20 pictures, and it is followed by an additional folder with 60 pictures. The same situation is repeated for each folder. The additional folders all share the same name - "d312a08daf7d..." and have EXACTLY three times as many pictures as the previous folder. I have verified that the pictures contained within are indeed triplicates of the originals.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I did not import an existing iPhoto Library.
Starting with a completely empty Photo Library, I navigate to File > Import to Library and select a single folder (Bowl for Kids). This folder has 20 photos in it, however iPhoto imports 80 (20 originals and 60 multiples, as evidenced by the screenshot). I then repeated the process for the other two folders.
The photos shown in the screenshot were taken from various devices many years ago. None of the above were taken on an iPhone.
The photos reside on my MacBook hard drive under Users > Worgowan > Documents > Pictures and Videos. I chose to place them here to keep them separate from the native Pictures folder.
To answer an inevitable future question, here are some settings from my iPhoto Preferences.
> iCloud > My Photo Stream (OFF)
> iCloud > Photo Sharing (OFF)
> Advanced > Importing: Copy Items to iPhoto Library (OFF)
> Advanced > Edit Photos (In iPhoto)
> Advanced > Use RAW when using external editor (OFF)
> Advanced > Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files (OFF)
> Advanced > Look up Places (NEVER)
> Advanced > Include location information from published items (OFF)

Why does iPhoto grab ALL my pictures?

Since I started downloading pictures from my iPhone and Nikon Cameras iPhoto grabs every picture I try to look at in my files and "imports" it. Those from the cameras are already in the iPhoto Library and I really don't want all my old photos in there (I have tons).
They used to just open on what ever page I was on and when I downloaded them it was with Preview. Can I disenfranchise (giggle) iPhoto? I know very little about photography/graphics and it's in and outs but I do like to look at my pictures from time to time without having to make a federal case of the process. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi LarryHN, you admonish me:
"You post is very confusing
"waht version of iPhoto do your have?
         --See above Post/Picture!
"What exactly do you mean by
as they seem to indiscrimently pick pictures andautomatically import them.
"Are there photos on your hard drive?
    --".... I've been checking my pictures files and opening them to view, ..." (see original post)
"On your camera? In DropBox? Where exactly are they?
"And by importing them are you saying that after this happens you have two or more copies of exactly the same photo in iPhoto?
     --I am not importing them, iPhoto is abducting them when I open them -in my files- and      iPhoto is importing them automatically without asking me and without my permission. I      don't check for duplicates I just don't want them in iPhoto.
"Doe this happen every time you launch iPhoto?
     I have, at no time during this fiasco, launched iPhoto. It automatically (do you need a      definition of the word?) imports them even though they've been in my files for years (2007      for instance).
"when you import form yoru camera?
     --It never happened when I was importing from my camera. iPhoto only imported the      photos I was importing.
"from your iPhone?
     I don't import from my iPhone! I download to my Desktop files through Preview and file      them in my pictures files.
"When you drag photos form the internet to iPhoto?
     I don't drag pictures to iPhoto, i drop them onto my Desktop.
"When you drag photos form disk to iPhoto?
     I don't drag pictures from disk to iPhoto. At least I haven't so far.
"We can not see you or your computer so we need clear, concise informatiion and exact work flows to help
     --Has this helped?
"And yes
I'm rambling here
"You are - without providing needed details
     --Did you indeed read the details of my post or did my confession of confusion endow you      with the right to excoriate me without bothering to search out the details?
I do appreciate your attempt to help but I do not appreciate your scorn at my admission of ignorance.

Does iPhoto save original picture when it has been cropped?

Hi, I have editd some pictures to crop them. Once done, I don't seem to find a saved copy of the original picture. Does iPhoto keep the original somewhere and if yes where? Or is this normal behaviour and I should "duplicate" my photo to keep an original and play with the copy when cropping? Thanks for the feedback, ML

Yes, iPhoto saves your Original pic. All operations - cropping, editing, fixing, exporting - are carried out on a copy of the file.
iPhoto does not show you the “before” and “after” side by side. If you want to compare then simply hold the shift key. (Remember you need to be in edit mode to for this to work.)
You can remove the edits by going Photos -> Revert to Original.

When I create a new album, why does iPhoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums?

When creating a new album, why does iphoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums? I want all designated photos in the album i created..

I'm guessing you're missing the album in the left hand pane by just a bit and thus creating new albums for each of the photo you're dragging. Make sure the album is highlighted as in this screenshot (iPhoto 9.4.2) before releasing:
A sure file way to get an album with the photos is to select the photos again and use the File ➙ New Album menu option
and that will produce a new album with the photos that were selected.

How to make iphoto read the pictures folder?

I have thousands of pictures in subfolders in Pictures folder, and not iphoto library. How do I make iPhoto read all those images in those own subfolders? I DO NOT want iPhoto to copy all the images to another folder, as that makes the filmstrips things way too large (thousands per view) slowing iPhoto way down, and I already have all the pictures in the folders I want them in. Apple isn't that stupid, so of course there is a way for iphoto to simply read other folders and use that as a library instead of just copying all the pictures to another folder. So: How do I do this?

But organizers really and truly should be able to start with existing folders and work from there.
We are dealing with the application that is here, not the one you think should be.
I tried dragging folders into iPhoto, but it just said it couldn't import the pictures.
Where are the photos? You've been saying they are in the Pictures folder. Are they in the iPhoto Library Folder? iPhoto will not import from the iPhoto Library Folder - a sensible protection against duplication. If the pics are in the iPhoto Library Folder move them outside and then import. If they are not in the iPhoto Library Folder can you give me details of any error messages you are getting, or what exactly you can see in the iPhoto Window.
Importing photos would just put everything into folders by year.
? Where would this happen?
Is there some way for Front Row to read something other than an iPhoto library please?
Not as far as I know. But you could post on the Front Row forum.
