How do I get iphoto to load instead of imovie when I plug in my Kodak Zi8?

When I first got my Kodak Zi8 I did not like the way it loaded iPhoto and imported my video into it when I plugged it into my Macbook, so I switched it to loading iMovie instead. However, having read up on it, I would prefer it to go back to the default of loading iPhoto and importing my videos directly into that program. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any suggestions? This should be easy, but when I plug in my Zi8 it mounts a hard drive but doesn't associate a program with it.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
*please go to the firefox ''menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
*also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
*finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How can I get iPhoto to NOT automatically import photos when I plug in my phone?

I use iPhoto to do quick, simple touch-ups to my pictures, but when I am in the middle of editing and plug in my phone just to charge, it automatically begins a new import and takes me away from my work, which is beyond annoying. If I want to import my cell phone pictures, I am savvy enough with the program to do it manually when I want to. I have tried navigating 'Preferences' and there appears to be no way to change this, which is a poorly missed feature. Help?

iPhoto doesn't import anything unless you tell it to. All it's doing is offering to import. No you can't stop that window appearing. You'll just have to click cancel.
iPhoto Menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
is the route to the developers for feature requests.

How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230. Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox--- In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine, but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even when I close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order. This is driving my crazy because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

How do I get iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?

How do I get iPhoto on new iPad to load all Facebook albums to select where to upload?
Besides 'new album' , 'wall photos', or 'iPhoto Uploads' ... it only shows 24 pre-existing albums to choose. I need to see the other 50, 60, etc albums I have.
I've also noticed that iPhoto fails to load to certain albums with some 'Domin Exception' error of some kind (not sure the exact message).

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

My iphoto doesn't work, it just keeps loading and never works. what is wrong and how do i get it to load?

my iphoto doesn't work, it just keeps loading and never works. what is wrong and how do i get it to load?

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. .

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

HT5129 how do i get iPhoto to stop bothering me with Mobile Me Migration windows when everything's already on my hard drive?

how do i get iPhoto to stop bothering me with Mobile Me Migration windows when everything's already on my hard drive?

Click "More Info", not "o.k.".
Then open the iPhoto Preferences "Accounts" tab and remove the "Mobile Me" account, if it is still there.
Quit iPhoto.
Check, if "Mobile Me" is still enabled in the System Preferences > Mobile Me panel (if you still have this panel). if yes, sign out.
Log off and on again.
Test, if iPhoto still is bugging you to transfer your Mobile Me content. If yes, you need to delete your iPhoto Preferences from your User Library.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
And also remove the file
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/mmsunset.plist
from the Caches in the User Library - this file contain the end date of Mobile me.

HT203167 I ordered and paid for a movie without being on wifi or connected to my laptop. I have not been able to down load the movie that I paid for so how do I get it down loaded?

I have a couple of questions. I down loaded a movie when I was not hooked up to wifi or connected to my laptop. I was charged for the movie but I have not been able to down load it or find it anywhere in my account.
Question:
1. Where do I find this movie and how do I get it down loaded to my I Pad?
When I signed in to ask this question I had to go through a lot of sign in problems and also create a user name that is completely different that any of the sing in information that I have used previously. Which create a lot of questions:
1. Why did I have to create a user name that I never had to do before?
2. Will this change the sign in process in the future?
I will appreciate the answers to these questions
Thank you very much.

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.

How do I get iPhoto to not copy photos into its own folder, read originals?

I was wondering how you could get iPhoto 6 to 'read' photos from it's original file.
I normally keep my photos in their own folder, separate from the iPhoto file. Now I kind of want to have them all organized nicely in the iPhoto file so I don't have duplicates floating around. I wiped the iPhoto Library (they were duplicates) and as I import them, they copy right back into an 'iPhoto Library' file. I want them to stay in my own folder 'My Photos'.
Is this possible? =S

Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now 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 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.
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.
Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.

How do I get Iphoto to ask me before merging events?

iphoto used to ask me if I was sure that I wanted events merged. One day, I checked the box that says "Don't ask me again". I shouldn't have done that!!! Now my kids can mix and merge all my events - easily!!!
How do I get iphoto to ask me before merging events?
Thanks in advance for helping me!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
