How do I create a shared library from iPhoto when the file is too large to burn on DVD?

I need to remove some photos (70 GB) to relieve a full hard drive. I have exported and burned .jpg images on DVDs, but that is only useful as a worst case backup. What I would like to have is a separate iPhoto Library for each calendar year of photos, so I could still view them in the albums and folders I have created to organize them. I have done this before in an earlier version of iPhoto, and was able to create 2003 iPhoto Library, 2004 iPhoto Library, etc. I put a copy on DVD (the full year fit on 1 DVD) and another copy on an external drive.
I am having problems doing this with iPhoto '09 (version 8.1.2). The iPhoto library for each year is too large to burn on DVD. When I select certain albums from the year that will fit on DVD and use the Share>Burn commands, it creates a library with Events and Faces, but none of the albums are listed on the left. The albums are important to organize the photos for viewing (birthdays, vacations, holidays, etc.) I didn't always pay attention to labeling Events when I imported photos, so that is not an adequate alternative to my albums.
I was thinking that if I could create a library for the entire year, it might include my albums and folders. I would have space for this on my external hard drive. However, I can find no way to create a library for the entire year and put it on my external drive - the only option is to burn a DVD or export .jpg images.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

You don't.
Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
Better to share some other way.

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

How can I order two different calendars from iPhoto in the same order?

How can I order two different calendars from iPhoto in the same order?

You cannot - the "Buy Calendar" button is only available, while viewing one calendar. You can order more than one copy of the same calendar on one order, however.

HT5731 how can I cancel or delete a movie i downloaded to my iPhone? The file is too large and it is hung up during the download process

How can I cancel or delete a movie I tried to download to my iPhone? The file is too large and iTunes is hung up during the process of downloading. I've tried to swipe from right to left but that doesn't produce a delete button....

Slide your finger across the videos' listing in your iPhone Videos App and tap the red "Delete" button that appears.

Use smaller photos.
Seriously, reduce the file size of the photos in Preview, PhotoShop, iPhoto or other application before inserting tehem into the Numbers document.

I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

Lots of free file hosters out there. Mediafire.com as an example. Upload a file there, copy and paste the download link you are given into your email to the client, then delete it as soon as the client successfully downloads it. Mediafire has 10 gb storage for free accounts.
Email is limited to 10 MB on attachments. So that's where file hosting comes in.

How To Get rid of Exponential format in datagridview when the number is very large

When the number is very large like :290754232, I got 2.907542E +08. in datagridview cell
I using vb.net , framework 2.0.
how can I get rid of this format?
Thanks in advance

should I change the type of this column to integer or long ?
The datagridview is binded to binding source and a list ( Of).
Mike,
I'll show you an example that shows the correct way to do this and a another way if you're stuck using strings in exponential format. The latter being the "hack way" I spoke about Friday. I don't like it, it's dangerous, but I'll show both anyway.
In this example, I'm using Int64 because I don't know the range of yours. If your never exceeds Int32 then use that one instead.
First, I have a DataGridView with three columns. I've populated the data just by creating longs starting with the maximum value in reverse order for 100 rows:
The way that I created the data is itself not a great way (there's no encapsulation), but for this example "it'll do".
Notice though that the third column (right-most column) isn't formatted at all. I commented out the part that does that so that I could then explain what I'm doing. If it works, it should look like the first column.
The first column represents an actual Int64 and when I show the code, you can see how I'm formatting that using the DGV's DefaultCellStyle.Format property. That's how it SHOULD be done.
The third column though is just a string and because that string contains a letter in it, Long.TryParse will NOT work. This is where the "hack" part comes in - and it's dangerous, but if you have no other option then ...
You can see that now the third column matches the first column. Now the code:
Option Strict On
Option Explicit On
Option Infer Off

How do I create a downloadable link from an Interactive PDF file created out of InDesign CS6?

Hello,
I created an Interactive PDF file out of InDesign and would like to make the large file a downloadable link and share it with the user in an email. I do not want to use DropBox or GoogleDrive.
The company I contract for has their own site - do I insert the file into the site or can I create a separate link for it?
I will be recreating these presentation PDF's constantly, so I would like to know if there is a simple way to create this link for files in the size of 7-12MB.
Any ideas on downloadable links? I do have flash - but rarely use, perhaps load the file out of flash?
Thank you so much for your help,
Megan

Hi Willie,
Thanks for your help. Most likely contact the company who maintains the
site then to share the file with them I'm assuming?

How can I export a finished project from iMovie when the "share" function will not respond?

Hopefully someone might have an answer for me. I am trying to export a finished project to You Tube. However, when trying to choose the file, it does not show up in the finished project list. I have gone back to iMovie to see if I've made a mistake with finalizing it. It seems to be finalized, but I cannot share it to anything (You Tube, Facebook, iTunes). I click on share and it does not respond. I click on File, scroll down to share, it does nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you reslove it?

I experienced the same problem as mreingrover. The Share features of iMovie appear to be completely unimplemented.
I had had MacKeeper installed for a short while on my previous Mac; never on my new MacBook Pro. I could not find any trace of it in Application Support, Launch Daemons, or LaunchAgents, in either my user Library or the root Library. But I figured maybe there was some trace somewhere that had been copied over from the old system, so I deleted iMovie and went to reinstall it from the App Store.
Now the App Store wants $14.95 for an app that has never worked right, and which is (I think) supposed to be free with my new MacBook Pro Retina.

I cannot open any library from iPhoto 11 (the menu for open is grey).

Same for creating new library
In the root user everything works
Is there any startup application kwon to be not compatible with iPhone?
If I open cklicking a library everything works fine

Have you made sure you're holding down the Option key before you launch iPhoto and keep it down until the selction window appears.
Log into another user account on your Mac that's the same as the problem account and check to see if iPhoto will work OK there. If it does go back to your account and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
