How do you get iphoto to recognize that a computer really is connected to the internet? I cannot use places to locate my photos, because the software keeps telling me my computer is not connected. I know the computer is connected.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. It the problem persists make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library 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.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto 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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the new library does'nt have that problem then your original library is damaged. Post back if that's the case and we'll go from there.

How do I get iPhoto to recognize a scanned jpeg?

I am trying to scan old photographs from books, and put them into iPhoto. Eventually all the photos will be used in an iMovie project. I am having trouble getting iPhoto to recognize the format of the scanned picture. When I try to import the jpeg file, iPhoto says it cannot recognize the format. Any suggestions?

As a text try this:
go to Toad's Cellar and download the Automator workflow applicaton "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile".
unzip the application on the Desktop.
drop a copy of one of your scanned photos onto the Automator workflow application.
import the resulting converted image file into iPhoto.
If the above lets you import the image file into your library you can process the remaining files and import them.

I use a Pandigital Photlink one touch scanner. In order to get iphoto ro recognize the jpegs after loading them from an hd card onto the computer i have to 'save as' each one into documents and them 'open with' iphoto. Is there a way to do a group 'save

I use a Pandigital Photolink one touch scanner. Then I upload the pics from the hd card to the computer. In order to get iphoto to recognize the images I have to first save each photo using 'save as' to my documents, then 'open with' iphoto. Is there a way to do a group 'save as' and then open the group in iphoto?
Scanning this way is much faster than using my printer but having to save each individually defeats the purpose.

How can I get iPhoto to print date on photo?

is it possible to get iphoto to print the date on a photo?

No.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

After upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto library is gone. It is on my hard drive but how do I get iPhoto to recognize it?

I have a MacBook Pro vintage 2009. I upgraded to Yosemite and although my hard drive still has all my pictures, iPhoto will not recognize and allow them to be displayed. Thus the library is empty..........HELP

You can't upgrade to the most recent version of iPhoto prior to updating to Yosemite, because the most recent version of iPhoto _requires_ Yosemite.
Try going to the Mac App Store and check the "updates" pane and check for updates. Get the latest iPhoto version, and then try again.

How do I get iPhoto to recognize my Sony nex 5R

When I connect my Sony Nex 5R to my macbook, and launch iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't recognize camera automatically. What am I doing wrong?

Are you shooting RAW?
I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US - if it is not supported then shoot JPEG until support is released or use the Sony supplied software to download and convert the images and import the converted images until Apple releases support

How can I get Iphoto to recognize me as a user? I had changed my ccard no. and password

I changed my credit card no. and it took the information in my oneclick order account set up but I cannot purchase the book. It says unable to verify user or errors out.

This is how you set your sync preferences for anything that you want to sync to your iPad. This uses apps as the example but this is the way that you can select all content to sync to your device.
"Click on" in the instructions below means to put a "tick" in the boxes next to the names of the apps in the apps list.
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on all of the apps that you want to sync,
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can go into the Music tab, the Photos tab, Movies, books and so on and select all of the content that you want to sync, just like you did here. You can make all of your selections in all of the different tabs in iTunes and then Click on Apply when you are finally ready to sync the device.
You also have the option of turning off auto sync if you like so that you can make the selections or make changes every time that you sync your iPad. Launch iTunes and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and quit iTunes. Then connect the iPad, launch iTunes and go through the priced up outlined above.
If you prefer to leave auto sync turned on, you can still go back and make the changes as described above, after the iPad auto syncs.
Read the first four support articles (or more if you like) in this Google search for more information about syncing with iTunes.

How do I get iPhoto to recognize password

Mary Doherty

There are no passwords associated with iPhoto - what exactly are you haveing trouble with? E-Mail? If that is is the User Name/Password is set in the iPhoto preferences under the accounts tab - delete the account there and add it again
Or IMHO better yet in the iPhoto preferences set Apple Mail as the e-mail client - it is a much better e-mail client at this time

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 you get iPhoto to stop autocropping/zooming photos within a frame?

I have hundreds of odd shaped images and I don't want to have to manually "fit to frame" hundreds and hundreds of images?
Can I turn off the autocropping or zooming function so Apple uses my actual picture dimensions? Or at least is there a way to batch "fit to frame"? Thanks for any help! Scrapbook we must deal with issue all the time.
Cheers,
Lorili

If you're referring to iPhoto books and photos in the frames on the page there is a Fit Photo to Frame Size option. Command (right)-click on the photo on the book page and select Fit Photo to Frame Size from the Contextual menu:
An extreme example of it is shown here:

How can I get iPhoto on my Mac to recognize my new iPhone 6? (iTunes does recognize it!)

I got one of the new iPhone 6s (the smaller version) and it's been working great. I was able to restore an old backup from my 4S and transferred everything over. iTunes recognizes the new phone and I've had no problems bringing files within apps on the phone to the computer like before. HOWEVER, iPhoto doesn't even recognize the phone so I can't import new photos off the phone. How can I get iPhoto to recognize it? I tried searching for the phone as a drive via iPhoto and that didn't work either.

So says my computer. Honestly, I'm not tech-wavy in the least so I just take its word for things.

Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop. How do I get it to recognize it again?

Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop. How do I get it to recognize it again?

Thank you so much for responding. I will look for the other disks.
One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key. In addition, it was running much slower. Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect. This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key. Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.
