How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page? I read that I should right-click in the Customize Preview page, but nothing happens

How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page?  I tried to follow Old Toad's advice to right-click the image on the Customize screen, but absolutely nothing happened.

You must think I'm an idiot, Larry, because you have been incredibly precise about your instructions.  However, as I keep saying, when I get to the "customize" screen, and I right-click the preview image, absolutely nothing happens.  I don't know what is wrong, but I can understand why you would give up on me. I simply CANNOT get the option "fit to frame."  Thank you so much for trying.  I think I had better give up.

    What is the error number in the error message? To reset the phone you must press and HOLD both buttons for at least 10 seconds, and longer until an Apple logo appears.

  • I downloaded the 30 day trial of CC - downloaded the app for Photoshop - but nothing happens when I click on it ... how do I get into it?

    I've downloaded Creative Cloud and the App for Photoshop  and updated the app -- but there's no way to click on the application to use it!  I seem to be missing something ... I don't know how to get into it to work on photos ...

    Peter,
    Apple doesn't sell iWork that way anymore.
    You have to get it from the Mac App Store if you want to purchase from Apple, or purchase a disk from a software retailler like Amazon. They're quite cheap online now.
    If you do purchase an iWork '09 disk, you will need to trash the trial copy and any plist files it has generated before you install it.

  • HT1176 I am trying to add my iPhoto library to files to be backed up on time machine. I am told to click on the Options Minus butto, but it is greyed out. What is the solution ?

    I have been trying to add my iPhoto Library to files for time machine backup.
    I was instructed to click on the Options minus button - but it is greyed out and not functional. 
    What is the solution ?
    Your help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You can "see" the iPhoto library in Time Machine backups, but you cannot "open" the library or "browse" the contents while you are in Time Machine.
    Apple makes you restore the entire iPhoto library to another destination...like your desktop....if you want to retrieve a few older images that you may have deleted by mistake.
    This is a convoluted mess, but unfortunately, that is the way it is.
    See Pondini's excellent, detailed information on this:
    http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
    You might also want to post in the iPhoto support area to see if the experts over there might have a workaround for you. I cannot find one, but I'm not an iPhoto expert.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages?  How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this?  Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

    You can make the collages easily if you have iWork.  Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary.  Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto.  From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround. 
    If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

  • How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?

    How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?
    My iMac lost all of the photos in the iPhoto library about 3 OSX updates ago (current system 10.9.1) but they recently appeared on my iPad. I have looked at all of the iphoto libraries on my iMac (3) and one contains 419 photos, one contains 3 photos and the main library has place holders with description information for 3741 photos but no photos. My iPad has all of the photos in iPhoto. How do I move them?

    The answer is no. There is no originals (or masters folder) that I can find. Below are the following folders in iPhoto:
    Events Folder: 71 place holders with decriptions including 6 recent photos
    Photos Folders: 3741 Place Holders with descriptions
    Photo Stream: 1 photo
    Last 18 Months: 157 photos
    Last Import: 1 photo
    Cloud: 229 photos
    1 Album: 3 placeholders with descriptions
    Slideshow: 1 placeholder with description
    Many of the actual photos are recent and are duplicated in one of the abovefolders

  • How do I copy a photo in iphoto

    how do I copy a photo in iphoto.  When i highlight the photo and then press the control and mouse button the copy option is greyed out.

    The UX on iPhoto is simply attrocious. If I import an image - why can I simply not copy it to the clipboard? If I right click on an image the copy item is disabled. Why? This makes no sense and simply frustrates the **** out of me as a user.
    The only way I have found to copy the image to the clipboard is to Share the image by emailing it to myself and then downloading the image to my hard drive. Which relies on an internet connection of course. Do you really force the user to do this?
    Can this issue please be rectified as it is really truly pants.
