How come I can't see my iPhoto library when uploading?
When I want to upload a photo to the internet, craigslist.org for instance. I click upload to browse for photo then go to my photos but the iPhoto library icon is grayed out. I know how to get around it by dragging the selected photos to my desktop then uploading those. It takes forever to open iphoto so i rarely open it, but all my pictures are in there and there is no other way to get to them other than opening them. Is there an easier way? Why?
Thanks

With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: 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!
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. 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. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*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.*
*Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS*
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.
I've highlighted the one's that may be of most use to you.

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?software update not working

After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window. When I select Media ->Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
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.

How come I can't see "Nike+" option in itunes when I plug in my iphone? I have it turned on in my iphone5 and have work out data in it.
Hello Kanji0513,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
I found this bit of info about the way Nike+ works on the iPhone and iPod Touches versus the way it works with other model iPods.
Your iPod touch or iPhone 3GS or later wirelessly sends workout data to nikeplus.com from wherever you are on the road. So right after your run, you can track your progress and analyze your performance. If you walk or run with iPod nano, workout data is sent to nikeplus.com when you connect it to your Mac or PC.
From: http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/sync.html
The option in iTunes only appears if you are not using an iPod Touch or iPhone.
All the best,

Just updated Iphoto. Now I can not see my Iphoto Library.
Restore from your back up.
For anythign else you need to explain more:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -
ITunes can't see my iPhoto Library
This evening I updated iPhoto to v11.4 and after the update it required my iPhoto library to be updated to work with the updated version of the software. After that was complete, iTunes could no longer see my iPhoto library, albums etc. It looks like I have an empty iPhoto in iTunes. All my other iLife and iWork software can see my iPhoto library, albums etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if you're having the same exact issue as I am but bottom line, after updating my iPhone 4 and my 3rd gen iPad to iOS 6 and doing the requisite updates on my macbook pro, my iPad will not show up in iTunes unless it's physically connected, even though the wireless sync option is selected and the only option in iTunes is to synch ALL photos, which results in an error 1140 and sync failure when selected. The option to sync selected albums is grayed out and below, no iPhoto albums show up. I think there's an issue with the iPhoto update or iOS 6. Not good!

Can't see my iTunes library when selecting background music for a slideshow
I don't see my iTunes library when I'm selecting background music for a slideshow -- I have tried using iphoto help (seee below) and it didn't work:
"If you don't see your iTunes library:
Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Relaunch iTunes first, then iPhoto.
If you recently installed iLife software, it's a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD. Because these applications are integrated to browse and import files from each other's media libraries, this ensures that you will be viewing the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and movies folder no matter what application you're using.
Recreate your iTunes Music Library.xml file. Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Go > Go to Folder. Type "~/Music/iTunes" or "~/Documents/iTunes" and click Go. Drag the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to your desktop. Open iTunes and create a new playlist by choosing File > New Playlist. Quit iTunes and open iPhoto to make sure you can see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow."
Any suggestions?
MacBook1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) using itunes 7.0.2 (15) and iphoto 6.0.5 (316)
MacBook1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) versions: itunes 7.0.2 (15) iphoto 6.0.5 (316)I have this problem also - tried following advice giving from original problem.
My settings are through the what I call the Lug Nut icon - no arrows and no dimple showing on my screen.
Is there some small thing I'm missing here - weird thing is that iDVD allows me to access my iTunes library - no problem.
When I go to Finder it tells it can't find my Music folder??? I can see it in the sidebar .....
Any suggestions - I don't know how to send those screen shots but what a great idea.

How come I can't see my Ipod Touch on Itunes?
When I had the 9.2 version (the one before 10), just recently before I changed it to 10, my Ipod Icon wouldn't show up on Itunes so I couldnt sync my ipod or do anything, even though it was plugged and was charging. So, then I was like okay, maybe that's my cue to download the newest version of Itunes. Well once I did that, I could sync and see my ipod again on Itunes for a few days, but just now, I plugged in my Ipod and it's doing the same thing again! It's charging, but I can't see my ipod and its options. So I'm not sure if it's my Ipods problem or maybe it's not compatible to the version? I have the 2Gen Ipod touch. Anyone know?

i too have a 2nd gen Touch and it works fine with iTunes 10.
try this:
(a) download the [_*Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo)*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1048]
(b) reboot into _*safe mode*_
(c) launch *disk utility* (in applications/utilities), +verify disk+ and +repair permissions+
(d) run the combo
(e) after running the combo, let the Mac reboot normally and +repair permissions+ again.
(f) run +software update+ from the menu and install any updates offered.
connect your Touch now. what happens ?

How come people can't see my pictures I send?
I am set up for unlimited text, picture mail, etc. through t-mobile but when I send a picture people tell me they can't see it.
Help!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.If you email is working fine, then you likely have the BB Data Plan. No problem there.
Look at Options > Advanced > Service Books and see if you have two MMS Service Books, one for Client and one for Transport. If you do, scroll over each > menu > delete.
then go to Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table and press menu > Register. See if those two service books return AFTER you remove the battery (leave it powered ON) and reboot the device.
Try a MMS message again.

Can't see relocated iPhoto library in AppleTV
I moved my iPhoto Library folder to a new location, and everything is working fine with the new location in iPhoto. However, when setting up AppleTV in iTunes, it doesn't see the relocated library (looks like it only looks in the default location) and when I try to browse to the relocated folder, it is grayed out and won't let me select it. Anybody else experience this and has anyone found a workaround/solution?
My AppleTV is already setup to work with this library, but for the sake of argument, I re-did this. No go. I think the problem may be with iTunes' inability to deal with an iPhoto library that isn't in the default location. It worked fine before the path change. In the AppleTV device config within iTunes, in the photo setup, the iPhoto option shows 0 photos, 0 albums. In the actual iPhotos, everything is fine.. albums work fine, imports to the new location work fine, etc. My assumption is that the AppleTV sync with iTunes works directly with the iPhoto Albums folder and directly with those config files and photo directories. It's probably only looking in the default location, and therefore, not working. If this is the case, it's surprising because many people move the default path of their iPhoto Library.
When I try to browse to the location of my iPhoto Library folder, that folder is grayed out and can't be selected.

Can't see shared iPhoto library
Computer A can't see Computer B's shared iPhoto library, but B can see A's. Both are running identical versions of iPhoto.
Both can see each other's iTunes library. Both can connect to each other over the network and transfer files to and fro (they're both on the same home wireless network, same subset).
Computer B has over 4000 photos, while Computer A has just a couple hundred; could that be a problem?
Here's what I have done:
Verified each iPhoto Preferences is set to "Look for shared photos" and "Share my photos".
Tried requiring a password, and not requiring a password
Verified System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall has "iPhoto Bonjour Sharing" checked.
Deleted each computer's iPhoto plist, and reconfiguring iPhoto Preferences as above
Turned off Little Snitch
Quit / restarted iPhoto a few times
Logged in / out, rebooted a few times
Researched iPhoto Help
Researched the discussion boards
Repaired permissions on both (as you can see, I'm resorting to voodoo tactics)
Googled the problem
Posted this topic
That's all I can think of to do.
So... what haven't I done?
Message was edited by: John Galt - 4000 photosadd to the list:
Created a "test" user account on Computer B, logged in as "test", launched iPhoto, and set it to share / look for shared libraries.
No change - A can't see B, B can see A. So it's unrelated to the size of the library, probably unrelated to anything iPhoto, probably a network issue. But what? -
i purchased a new dell desktop. my home itunes is on my laptop. the home share only works on the pc when i have itunes opened on my laptop. as soon as i close it on my laptop it disappears frpm the pc library
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
If there's a lot of stuff in your original laptop's library, the transfer may take some time.

Re: Moving Playlists -
The Comment box vanished!. There is usually a box where you can type your comment right under where it says "Add New Comment". I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4, Safari 6.0. I have a CNN account and can also log into it through Facebook and it still does not work. However, Whenever I log into my sister's laptop which is the same as mine, it works over there. So the issue is definitely on my Safari or somewhere else in my computer.
I will show you two pictures giving an example on how the comment section on CNN is supposed to be working.
PIC #1 - On this first picture, in the part where it says "Add New Comment", right under it theres supposed to be a box where i type inside my comment. But as you will see there will not be a box
There is supposed to be a comment box between "Add New Comment" and those tabs where it says CNN DISQUS FacebookCONNECT TWITTER
PIC # 2 - On this second picture, I will print screen the same page and try to reply to that first top comment on PIC #1. And doing it that way there is also no comment box. Again I should say that yes I do have an account on CNN and I am logged in. On CNN.com, if you are not logged in either through Facebook or CNN itself, the reply button would not even appear.
As you can see, Right under where it says "Replying to geoplato"(whoever that is) there should be a box as well. And I know its my computer or my browser because my sister that lives with me, she has a MacbookPro which is what I use, and it works fine on hers. So I know its not CNN, Its my computer or browser.
I hope with these new pictures, someone will be able to help me.
Thank you all again who spends your time going through this. I really appreciate it.
