How to get iPhoto '08 to export comments as part of iWeb photo page?

I've got an event in iPhoto '08, and want to export it as a photo page (darkroom template). It exports all the photos and titles, but not the comments from iPhoto. I cannot figure out how to make it export the comment. Where is the setting for this?
It's very easy in iPhoto to export as a regular html with the comments, but somehow not to iWeb.

Marguerite:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an Applescript that will take your comments and put them in the title field in iPhoto. Then when you create the photo page in iWeb the comments will be in the title field and will be displayed. Once the iWeb page is created you can go back in iWeb and use the Photos->Batch Change->Title to File Name menu option and get the old title back.
Here's where you get the Applescript. Be sure to read the comments to see where the one error, regarding the Å character that is in the script: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070822121100394&query=applescript %2Btitle
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg.

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

Hi edilsoncf,
I've seen your question on several forums, and responded there. Did you get your subscription sorted out?

I took a photo class and the tech showed me how to take iPhoto images and export to an external hard drive. However, I do not recall how this was done. Can anyone provide me with step by step instructions? TIA!

1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
Would you like to import them?
What does this mean?
- nello

I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
Is there any way rejoin the original (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?

Have you transferred photos from your computer to your iPhone which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If so, you can place this video in the folder of photos on your computer that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Include Videos.

How to get iphoto 09 and lightroom to play nicely together?

my current workflow is this: drop originals onto iphoto and edit in external editor from within iphito. the current external editor is photoshop elements 8. When I'm done with the edit, I save and the edited photo shows up in iphoto and the original is saved behind the scenes. Lightroom, as well as Aperature doesn't have a save function, they boyh have an export function which is not the same as save. My edited and exported photo never makes it to the edit folder which has to be created by iphoto the first time you edit a photo in an event. Anybody have an idea how I can get lightroom to play nicely with iphoto?
thanks
JAW

You can't. You're confusing Lightroom and Aperture with an image editor.
Lightroom, as well as Aperature doesn't have a save function, they boyh have an export function which is not the same as save.
They work very differently from iPhoto. Where iPhoto saves your edits in a new file, these apps don't. Instead they record your decisions in their database and when you view a photo these are applied live on top of the original. So, your edits are saved, just in an totally lossless way.
You cannot use either Lightroom or Aperture as an external editor with iPhoto for the very simple reason that neither of them is an "editor". They, like iPhoto, are Digitial Asset Managers. Like iPhoto they have powerful abilities to post-process a photo, but that's not the same as "editing". You can't add things to a photo - like text or layers, and your ability to remove things is quite limited - though not as limited as iPhoto. Both are specifically optimised for working with Raw formats rather than Jpeg.
To use something as an external editor it will need to be a: an editor and b: have no database or image management ambitions.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
_[The Gimp|http://www.gimp.org/macintosh>_ also free
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
[Pixelmator|http://www.pixelmator.com> ($60 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.

How to get Iphoto to work again after Dropbox screwed it up?

I had never used Dropbox and opened an account primarily as a backup for photo storage. I moved my Iphoto library to the Dropbox folder. After a week of Dropbox churning tens of thousands of “files” without really uploading, I realized something was wrong and have since learned there is some disconnect in how Dropbox handles Iphoto. Something about symlinks, but I don’t need to know.
That’s not my question. I moved my Iphoto library back to Applications. All the photos appear still to be there, but I’ve lost functionality. I can’t advance from photo to photo within an “event,” or edit photos through Iphoto. The link to my external editor (PS Elements 10) also doesn’t work any more. I can’t send an individual photo to PS, or open a photo from the Iphoto library in PS.
Screw Dropbox, I won’t try to use it again. But how do I get Iphoto to work again like it used to? It seems like Iphoto has somehow been de-linked from the Iphoto library.
Thanks,
Case

I dragged and dropped the Iphoto library to the pictures folder and now the library appears in BOTH pictures and applications. (The Iphoto library icon in the Pictures folder has the little curved arrow indicating a link.) Should I have copied and pasted?
When I open Iphoto, it goes to one of the recent pictures in the library and the regular menu appears on the left (events, etc.). But I can't advance to different pictures within in the folder. I hit "edit" and none of the editing functions come up. I right-click on the photo to bring up the usual options like edit in external editor and nothing happens. As I said in my first e-mail, it links but has no functionality.
You say to do a restore. I've been backing up my Mac with My Book Studio and Time Machine, but never tried to restore from the My Book. The last backup was a month or so ago. Is that the kind of restore you're talking about? Can I just restore Iphoto (and iphoto library?) without messing with everything else?
Thanks for your help.

How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?

Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I’d be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there’s a new version of iMovie and I can’t figure out how to get the movies in iPhoto into iMovie. So confused. Help!

within iMovie on the left side go to iPhoto Library, then movie the mouse slightly to the right where you see choices for events...faces...places....try selecting events and it should bring up what you may be looking for. From this point you can select photos or videos to move into your project. hope this helps

How to get iphoto 9.5.1slideshow to play photos in order manually entered

how do I get Iphoto 9.5.1 slideshow to play photos in the order I manually entered them? Mac OS X 10.9.4

There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually. Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.

How to get iphoto on mavericks as version 9.6 needs yosemite

hi guys,
i do not have iphoto on mavricks as 9.6 only works for yosemite. But as yosemite is very slow I reinstalled mavricks so now i dont know how to get a version of Iphoto that is compatible with mavricks.

For Mavericks y0ou nee iPhoto '11 version 9.5.1 - what version did you have before you reinstalled Maverics? You should be able to
reinstall from the original source - probably #3
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

How to get iphoto 4 (?) from 2.0.1. ?

hello...
i'm obviously quite behind with the iphoto downloads! i have version 2.0.1 and am trying to upgrade, mostly because i want to put photos on my ipod, and i understand you need version 4.something for this? my mac is 10.2.8. what i need to know is:
-what is the highest iphoto available to 10.2.8?
-and where can i get this, as i've searched and can't seem to find any downloads for below iphoto 5?
-can i even get a recent enough iphoto on this computer to use to put photos on the ipod?
thanks in advance for any help,
jo

First check your camera manual for the right USB settings for downloading and the correct procedure for attaching your camera to the Mac for downloading.
Look to see if your camera memory shows up on the desktop with a removable drive icon. If it does you are all set.
To set iPhoto to automatically open when a camera is attached you have to open the application Image Capture. In the IC preferences menu set what happens when you hook up your camera.
Click on the Advanced Search tab in Apple support and enter "compatible cameras" to check that.
If your camera doesn't work with iPhoto get an inexpensive USB card reader. They are a good idea too for saving wear and tear on your camera connections.
If you want to upgrade you have a simple option - buy iLife 06 to get iPhoto 6. There are no free downloads to UPGRADE iPhoto from iPhoto 2. The online downloads are UPDATES for people who already own the newer versions.

How to get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?

How do I get rid of thumbnails who've lost their full size photos?? ... ie when I spacebar on them I get the exclamation mark ;-(
I've tried rebuilding the library with all options checked; with all except the last 2; and just the first 2 on thumbnails; and the 2nd only. All to no avail!
I expect iPhoto Library Manager would do the trick but don't want to redo my faces stuff which I believe it can't cope with yet ;-()
Long story how I got here but I've re-added recovered full size files that iPhoto '08 "lost" and now in '09 I want to get rid of the thumbnails that point to the missing files.
I now have 2 thumbnails of most pictures - one that works to the full size and the other that gets an exclamation mark! ... I want to get rid of the latter.
I can obviously just press delete on the thumbnail but I need to do it ~ 20,000 times ;-()
A thought ...can I use search somehow to only return the duds?? ... then delete all.
TIA
Barry

You may have to start over from scratch as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
This will get rid of all the orphan thumbnails and give you a clean library. Before doing that you could follow the first 8 steps of Old Toad's Tutorial #1 which will write the keywords, titles and comments to the original files so they will be there in the new library.
