How do I "install" iPhoto themes?

I downloaded iPhoto '11 from the App Store, now my themes can't be located when I attempt to create a book. I can see the themes in my Library folder - Application Support - iPhoto - Themes, there are about 343 theme folders in there, so how can I "install" them? How can I get iPhoto to find them? I see a number of people have had this issue, but as I downloaded the App rather than installed it from a disk, I don't have the option of re-installing it. Would be grateful for any suggestions or advice.
Thanks

How odd? Those links bring us right back to here...
Reinstall.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

    i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

    IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
    1- the restore disks that came with your computer
    Or
    2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
    Or
    3- the App store

  • How do I install new themes for keynote purchased throught the app store?

    I have downloaded some Keynote themes fron a site but I have no way (that I can see) to install them. I've done extensive googling and I always find instructions that say that I have to add the downloaded themes (.kth files) into the ~/Library/Application Support/Keynote/Themes folder. However, I have no such directory.
    I purchased Keynote via the App Store. Could this be the reason why I don't have this directory on my hard disk? How does one install new themes then?
    Thank you.
    While I am at it and since there must be a lot of Keynote experts around, I'll ask another question about a problem that is driving me crazy. I'm one of those thousands of new converts and I have a lot of old PowerPoint files that took me a lot of time to create. I'm trying to import them into Keynote but some of them are giving me trouble. The problem comes when I try to change the theme (I just want to change the background). When I have complex slides involving many objects, if I change the theme all these objects abandon their original positions and everything becomes garbled. I think this has to do with the aspect ratio of the slides but I haven't found any way of fixing it. No matter what size I choose in the Theme Chooser, the result is the same.
    I would really appreciate any help you people can offer with any of these problems. Thanks in advance.

  • How NOT to Install iPhoto 11, when installing iLife 11

    With the very many issue's I'm seeing throughout these iPhoto 11 discussions,
    Is there way to ONLY install GarageBand and iMovie from the iLife 11 disc?
    I installed iLife 11 on a test machine (my Mac Mini) and I'm not happy with iPhoto 11.
    BEFORE I install this on my iMac 24 (with over 24,000 real pictures, with tons of edits, keywords and organization throughout),
    I'd like to NOT install iPhoto 11, while installing the balance of the disc.
    Possible?....How, please?
    Thank You, In Advance

    In all fairness, when I stated that I don't like iPhoto '11, it was not because of bugs, or lost photo library's or issues installing. My install went perfect and without a hitch.
    I dislike iPhoto '11 because I don't like the reduced functionality built into iPhoto '11. The elimination of features and the loss of a more productive and flexible application that iPhoto '09 is, over iPhoto '11, is why I'm not installing it.
    Here are my four examples, at minimum. Of course, if you don't use these features, then like ladymac, you will be pleased with iPhoto '11. Like they say, ignorance is bliss.
    1) The elimination of Keywords under each picture.
    This is huge for me, with over 24,000 pictures and growing. Putting the Keyword off to the side, and ONLY viewable one picture at a time is not sane. With an extensive use of keywords across 24,000 pictures, I can easily tag and find pics. But if you don't use keywords, or never used them, ignorance is bliss.
    2) The elimination of "exporting" to mail. This would allow you to re-size pics at your discretion. Attach more than 10 pics at a time. 20, 30, 40 pics or more are possible under iPhoto '09. And deciding NOT to use their stationary. OR to use their stationary. If you never had this flexibility and choice, ignorance is bliss.
    3) The elimination of TRUE FULL SCREEN editing and viewing. This allows you to view any picture without tool bars or buttons alongside or underneath the picture. If you never edited this way, again, ignorance is bliss.
    4) The color gamut produced under iPhoto '11 is off. I expect this is a bug OR Apple has decided that they feel the colors in iPhoto '11 are a better representation than those under '09. If you can't tell the difference, again, ignorance is bliss.

  • How do I install a Theme download in Firefox 4 -Windows XPproSP3

    I have downloaded a Theme ( utopia_ffse_white-4.0.5-fx.jar) to my desktop and have been unable to find out how to install it.
    Never had any problems over the years with any other versions of Firefox or Themes, and this it the latest version FF4 release.
    I checked the Mozilla (Programs folder) and found no folders containing any (.jar) files, and would appreciate any help available.
    Thank you.
    Doug

    Easiest to install themes is directly from the website.
    Open the Theme Manager (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance) and then drag the theme_name.jar file in the left pane of the Theme Manager window.<br />
    You need to restart Firefox twice for a theme:
    # After the download to install the theme so you see it in the Add-ons Manager.
    # To use the theme by selecting it in Themes Manager.

  • How to re-install iPhoto?

    so I inherited this 2011 iMac at work,  The previous user set it up with things like trials of photoshop, coda2 etc.  now I have restored my timemachine account from a macbook air to the iMac.
    The problem I'm running into is this... I am getting an alert in the mac app store that iMovie and iPhoto are now ready for updates, BUT i cannot update them because the previous user who no longer works at this company somehow connected his appleid to those apps.
    can I just uninstall / re-install iphoto / imovie because I'm on the same machine? or am I stuck with an unupdatable copy?

    Sort of... when I was issued the MacBook Air Gen 1, it was on 10.6 and was pre-installed with iLife (our helpdesk wiped out the mac from the previous user and reinstalled using the usb stick).  I then was upgraded to 10.7 (still had iLife on the machine).
    I've been building in-house iPad and iPhone apps and now was issued an iMac (woo hoo ) but all is not well in mudville as now I have this badge over my mac app store icon to update 2 apps, which got registered to our previous developer... now I know I don't want to uninstall iMovie (I've actually used it for work quick edits of screen grab video) but I suppose I can just live with quicktime trim?? but I like adding things like notes on the screen introductions to the next person on the video etc...
    I'm guessing I'll need to ask the company to spring for another iMovie copy???

  • HT4178 how do i install iphoto on max 10 6.8 after putting a new hardrive ?in

    how to install iphoto in max 10 6.8 ater putting in a new hardrive so i can put back my photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you purchased iLife on a disc or your Mac came with DVDs, insert the Applications DVD or Mac OS X Install Disc 2 and install iPhoto performing a custom install. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version.
    If you purchased iPhoto in the Mac App Store, the most recent version isn't compatible with your Mac OS X version, so you will have to upgrade OS X if you want to install iPhoto from the App Store

  • How Should I Install iPhoto 4.0?

    Hi,
    I use Mac G4; run Mac OS X 10.4.11 - TIGER; have iPhoto 1.1.1.  I just downloaded a free copy of iPhoto 4.0.  Is iPhoto 4.0 a standalone application?  Do I need to download upgrades to iPhoto 1.1.1 before I install iPhoto 4.0?
    Angel

    Thank you Niel for your prompt response to my issue.
    I did not download iPhoto 1.1.1 from Apple, I already had it on a second hard disk and copied it to my main hard drive a few days ago. I did not use it before because I didn't have a digital camera until now. I don't have iLife on any of my hard disks.
    I did download a free copy of iPhoto 4.0 just days after I installed iPhoto 1.1.1 on my main hard disk, and I don't
    know if I need any other updates to to bring me up to speed before installing iPhoto 4.0.  Should I just install iPhoto 4.0 and by doing so will it give me a standalone iPhoto 4.0 application?
    Sincerely,
    Angel

  • I can't print a photo from iPhoto because it is asking that I install a theme. How does one install a theme.

    iPhoto will not allow photo printing unless a theme is installed. Never heard of such nonsense. What is a workaouound, or a fix.

    Never heard of searching either, I see.

    > Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • How do I install a theme in iPhoto?

    I am new to iMac and just discovered I cannot print my photo's from iPhoto.  Each time I go to file and print a message comes up that says; No Available Themes - "There were no themes located.  Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."  At this point I don't know what or where to get the themes to install.  Please, can someone help me with this?  Your feedback will be appreciated...

  • How can I get iphoto theme to start making a book?

    I have made iphoto books for printing before on my iMac but now I cannot.  The computer says there are no themes loaded.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    First try repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility. If that fails to correct the situation you'll need to reinstall iPhoto to get the themes back.
    If Lion or Mt. Lion came preinstalled on your Mac go to the App Store under Purchases to download and instll iPhoto.  If your Mac came with Snow Leopard or earlier preinstalled use the disks that came with your Mac to reinstall iPhoto via a custom install.

  • Obtaining and installing iphoto themes

    I tried printing from iPhoto '11. A message came up stating no themes available. There must be a missing file/folder. How can I correct this problem?

    They need to be linked to the application and just having them there doesn't guarantee that.  The instructions have changed for iPhoto 11 and Snow Leopard or later:
    Restoring iPhoto 9 (11) Themes
    First look in your HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there move it to the Trash. Also look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder.  If there is one move it to the Trash.  Reinstall iPhoto as described below:
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 -files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    3 - mount the disk that iPhoto 11 came on, either an iLife 11 disc or the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto. 
    If iPhoto 11 came with the computer then double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install.
    Apply all of the latest iPhoto 9 (11) updates followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.
