Export Calendar File

Question

I'm working on a calendar for a friend on their computer. I was wondering if there was a way for me to export the calendar file, where ever that is, to a format that I can upload to my public iDisk Folder & then import into my iPhoto at home? Hope that makes sense.

Joe:
The only way would be to duplicate your iPhoto library folder, open it with iPhoto (launch with the Option key depressed and select the other library folder when asked) and delete all of the photos that are not in the calendar. This will leave a small iPhoto Library folder that can be uploaded to your iDisk or burned to a CD for transporting to your Mac at home.
Then copy that folder to the desktop and open it with iPhoto as described above. If you need additional photos in the calendar library you can do that with iPhoto Library Manager which will let you select albums or rolls from one library and transfer to another. You'll need the purchased version to do more than 10 at a time.
It's a good way of working on books also, creating a separate library for each. That way when the book is complete and ordered, you can burn that folder to a CD via the Finder for use later if you want to order another copy.

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.
