How do I share iPhoto Book

I used to be able to copy a project book to a hard drive, then show it to a client on their laptop. Then she could make changes if necessary. But with iPhoto 11, I can't seem to move/export/copy anything to the book projects.
Any suggestions?

Synneve1: I tried your Print to PDF suggestion, and it worked great. But I got the same white border along the top and the right side.
In my print dialog box there is a setting that allows you to change the Scale. I set my Scale to 102% and it was just enough to get rid of that ugly white border without changing the overall look of the page.
Just thought I would pass along the tip!

How do I share iPhoto library and Quicken info between accounts on the same

I'm on an iMac running Leopard and iPhoto 7.1.2 and Quicken 2004. My wife has one account and I have another. How do we share iPhoto libraries and Quicken input automatically across accounts on the same machine?

There are two ways to share iPhoto, depending on what you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a dmg.
(Some people have had success putting the library in the Users/ Shared folder. If you do this make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone.)
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How do I share iPhoto 11 library in two accounts on same iMac?

My husband and I want to share out iPhoto library but we have set up two accounts on our iMac. How do we share iPhoto so that both of us have the same level of access?

How do I reorder iPhoto Books

How do I reorder iPhoto Books?

You have to order the book and send it again to Apple. But iPhoto Print Projects (books, cards) cannot be opened in Aperture.
So you need to open your library in iPhoto to print/reprint any IPhoto Book it contains.
In Aperture 3.4 you can switch to iPhoto by selecting "File > Open Library in iPhoto",
In Aperture 3.1/3.2 quit Aperture and launch iPhoto with the ⌥ held down, to be able to select the library.

How do I share a book with my daughter or wife.?

I use iTunes to buy books and read them on my iPad. If I had a paper book I could share it with my wife or daughter. How can I share once it is on my iPad ?

If they have iOS devices, the can download the books to their iTunes library by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and then sync.
If the devices have iOS 4.3 or later they can download them directly to their device following the instructions in the above article.
They will have to sing the iPod/iTunes into the account that purchased them.

How can we share e-books between 2 accounts?

My husband and I both have Kobo accounts, Adobe DE accounts and 2 separate e-book readers (both Aluretek Libre's).
How can we share books?
cm

One of you will have to buy the book first (and put on reader, I assume). According to what Kobo Customer Care told me, with Adobe Digital Editions open that person then goes on the site the book was bought from, signs in, goes on purchase history and clicks on the book. Hit Download epub or pdf, choose Open for Windows or Save for Mac, Adobe will show the book. make sure you are in library view, plug the reader in and authorize the device. Drag and drop the book into the reader icon that shows up under the Bookshelf items. It should copy the file. When done, eject using the safely remove mass storage device option. After unplugging, it will process the new content. I haven't done it yet, I just received the instructions.

How to fix lost connections to original high-resolution pictures in iPhoto and how to import an iPhoto Book from one iPhoto library to another

Hi there,
I am using a MBP Pro with 8 GB cache and 1 TB HDD from beginning of 2011 with OS X Yosemite and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).
I created an iPhoto Book to print which contains my best pictures of 2013 and 2014. Then I got an error message when I wanted to print the book, saying (translated from German):
Book could not be created.
With photo p233432343.jpg there was an error. The original version of that photo with full resolution could not be found or is damaged. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book.
When I enquired further, I found out, that many, many pictures in my iPhoto library have that problem - only the thumbnail picture is found by iPhoto, but not the one with the high resolution. When looking at the photos in detail one sees that they are not sharp because obviously the photo book only refers to the thumbnail. When I went into the iPhoto Library using Finder, I saw that the original high res photos are still there. As there are an estimated 3000 photos with a lost connection (some still have, it but about 1/2 of my photos don´t), it does not make sense to import those photos manually. This photo book is just the tip of the iceberg, so to say.
Then I looked for solutions in some forums. I had two lPhoto libraries, one on my HDD (120GB) and one on an external HDD (175GB). Assuming there might be problems, I have deleted (moved) the one on my HDD, because the "right one" is the one on my external HDD and started iPHoto again using the alt key. But that did not work either.
I then tried to repair my iPhoto library using iPhoto Library Manager, and merged and rebuilt libraries. The library that came out was crap - all folders that had lost connections to the high resolution pictures now have zero photos in it. Also it is lacking the projects, including the photo book I created.
Then I went to find out if there is a way to import the iphoto book project from the old, corrupt library into the new, repaired library but could not find anything. It can only be exported as a file structure or website. As the file structure is missing the high res pictures, that does not even solve the "little" problem of the photobook.
I would REALLY appreciate your help on the two questions:
1- Can you advise what I need to to do to to get the connection to the high resolution photos established again ? As it is more than 3000 photos, I use an automated way of reestablishing that connection. Probably an answer to this question would make question 2 irrelevant.
2- Do you know if there is a way to export and import a book project created in iPhoto from one library to another ?

1 - Select the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder.
You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also. Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located. Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered. If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files. However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.

How to recover an iphoto book from backup

Hello,
My wife managed to accidentally delete a 75 page iphoto book she's been working on for months. I have a backup of our iphoto library at an offsite location (read: not a time machine) and am in the process of transferring a copy of it to my local machine. However, since the entire iphoto library is 80+ gb, I would prefer to only recover this book if at all possible. I've done some digging through the iphoto library and have found the book in the /iPhoto Library/Metadata Backup/Albums/Album.18008.ipmeta. I have recovered this file from my backup and placed it back into this folder on my local computer, but unfortunately this hasn't restored the book in iphoto itself. I'm assuming there are other pointers hidden throughout the database that also will need to be restored to make this book show up again in iphoto. Has anyone dealt with this problem before and managed to recover a deleted book without restoring the entire iphoto library?
Thank you,
Dennis

You must recover the entire iPhoto library. Books are not a seperate item but are database entries
And it is critical that you do not muck around inside the iPhoto library. There are no user serviceable parts in it and if you make and changes you may corrupt it and cause data loss

How do I share iphoto's pictures between multiple computers

having converted from PC to the Mac I have almost 20,000 pictures in iphoto on my iMac and all lost the tags/people/locations that I had tagged using a PC application. I now need to retag all these using iphoto's people and locations and key words. This will take some time and I'm thinking of buying an Apple notebook so I can continue doing the tags etc while away from home or even while watching TV. Is it possible to share the photo's between 2 mac's and no matter which mac I'm using have all the tags etc stay intact? Or alternately will I have to some how export each time from the up to date iphoto and import onto the other machine? If I have to export and import then that will be a rather large file to move back and forth. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, you would have to have the library on your laptop or on an external HD attached to your laptop. Depending on the size of the library you could put it on a flash drive and operated from it. It would work as I'm doing that now with one of my libraries and my MBP and iMac in creating a book. But it will be slow. If all you're doing is adding keyword and titles it should be a viable method. Faces will work but may be one of the slower features of this method as it requires frequent accessing of the files on the disk (I'm not sure of this last part, however, so take it with a grain of whatever).
I would purchase a flash drive that had as fast an read/write capability as possible. Also format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) before using.

How do I share address book and calendars with other iCloud users?

I guess the title of the discussion question says it all.
My wife, and other family members want to SHARE Contacts, Calendars etc... with other iCloud users.
Simple task... most people would want to do it...
But... I can't find an easy answer... how do I do it?

Roger, thanks... I had continued my search and found this information on the discussion.
Now, my biggest concern is the ADDRESS BOOK... I'd like to publish, specific GROUPS within my master Address Book to other iCloud users... with either Read Only, or Read Write permisions.
Do you have any knowledge or suggestion on how that can be accomplished in iCloud?
It seems as though this would be FOUNDATIONAL in iCloud if APPLE expects it to be a USABLE SERVICE.
Thanks for your help...

How Can I Share iPhoto Library/Keywords Among Multiple Users

Hi there! I am having a bit of a dilemma where I am trying how I can have several users access a shared iPhoto library (as well as retain their own personal iPhoto libraries). Basically, I have a handful of (three) users that need to be able to store/search against a common shared photo library - ideally, in iPhoto.
I understand that I can share albums through iPhoto (users are using a mix of iPhoto '08 and '09) on one account as long as iPhoto is running - a serious drawback. When I tried sharing photos via this method I was able to see the shared albums; however the keywords that were defined for those photos were not available. This presents two questions:
1) Can iPhoto share its library among multiple users (including keywords, etc) so that if a user account (let's call it "media") shares out selected albums that the viewing users (user1 and user2) can search against the keywords in the host library? Or is this not possible with iPhoto?
2) Is there another way of sharing photos that is more efficient and can be hosted on our private servers? The interface in iPhoto is amazing - and if there was an application that allowed for that same sort of feel/tagging we would be good to go...

Well here is the weird thing. If I was sharing out the library from my computer, I could search for the keywords (and obtain results) as expected. However, if I went to another computer that was viewing my shared library, searching by the same keyword did not return any results.

How can I share iPhoto libraries across more than one computer?

I am trying to find a solution for multiple users accessing a single iPhoto library.
I want to have just one "master" library for my family, which we can all access via different computers.
I also want to apply the same principle of a "master" library for iTunes and iMovie, plus all our files/documents - see the original question here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4940803.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you

iPhoto has never been designed as a shared network database. What you want to do is currently not supported, Jerry, sorry.
Some things to consider - assuming you are using the most recent iPhoto version:
iPhoto '11 will not allow to have the library be opened by more than one user at a time. It will lock the iPhoto library, if it is already in use.
The iPhoto library needs to be on a disk, that is formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled), otherwise iPhoto will not open it. Most network volumes have a different formatting.
Network access is considerably slower than the access to a locally connected drive. You will have a noticable decrease in performance when working over the network. Editing the images will be no joy, if each and every access to the databases inside the library needs a network access.
Since iPhoto is not specified as a network database, there is no built-in protection against network drop-outs and transmission errors when doing database transactions. You will be risking to corrupt your iPhoto library.
Save sharing options would be:
Let the iPhoto library be managed by one user, but give read-access to your family members using the "Sharing" preferences. You can share all albums or selected albums on your local network for browsing.
Put your iPhoto library on a portable drive and let each family member use the drive in turn.
Use shared Photo Streams to share your photos.
This is Apple's recommendation on how to share a library:

How do I share iphoto library between two computers

I have a MacBook Pro 15 and an iMac. Most of my pictures and movies are loaded onto my MacBook, but some are on the iMac. I want to combine these onto an external drive (which should free up space on both HD's) and use the external drive for all my pictures and movies. How do I go about doing this and getting both iPhoto's on each computer to look at the external drive when opened?
Thanks!

1. Use the paid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager to merge the libraries. It's the only way to do this.
2. Make sure the external is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Set it to ignore permissions and then pow the merge Library on it.
3. From each machine in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point iPhoto at the Library.
Some caveats:
1. Iphoto is not a server or multi-user application. One one machine can access the Library at a time.
2. Connecting via wireless is fine if all you're doing is viewing. If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
