HT1229 How to prevent iPhoto album seen in desktop & screen saver

I do not want my iPhoto album to be seen as an option for desktop & screen saver pictures. How to block it? Thanks in advance.

You can't.
The default iPhoto Library will always show there. If there is material in your iPhoto Library that you want to hide from Mummy then put the library on an encrypted disk image, or use another library as default.

  • IPhoto albums not available in screen saver

    I was using the "dropping photos" screensaver and an iPhoto album as the source. I installed a new screensaver, but wanted to go back to the photos. But when I tried, none of my iPhoto albums showed up as options. I have Pictures folder and Choose folder, but after that nothing. A minor issue, but it bothers me.

    I believe I have a similar problem. I am using OS X 10.5.6 on all machines. No problems selecting an iPhoto album as a screen saver. However, when I try to set an iPhoto album as my Desktop on my MacBook (only happens on the MacBook) via System Preferences it starts to load and then my MacBook freezes and after a short while I receive a message 'The application System Preferences quit unexpectedly' etc. It happens EVERY TIME I try to set an iPhoto album as my Desktop. Does anyone else have this problem, too?
    Cheers

  • No iPhoto library visible in Desktop & screen saver.

    iPhoto library is not available from:
    System Preferences - Desktop & Screen Saver
    Tjeee they really pushed a Beta version out...

    Thanks. This seemed to do the trick, although I'm not sure exactly how.
    I used Cocktail to clear the system and user caches. This seemed to work once, but when I checked my preferences again, it simply showed iPhoto without folders as a choice for Desktop pictures-- back to my original problem.
    I cleared caches again, and then <option>+<cmd>iPhoto to rebuild the database and caches. This may have been overkill, but in the end, it finally worked.
    With 50,000+ photos, this took several hours with an early 2011 MBP @2.2GHz.

  • IPhoto Album pictures differ in Screen Saver selection

    When selecting an iPhoto Album as a Screen Saver, the Preview picture pane often displays pictures in other albums. Also, in certain albums, only one picture in that album displays continuously.
    I hope this problem is fixable.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello Albert & Welcome to Discussions,
    Very simple fix. Go to SystemPreferences>Desktop & ScreenSavers.
    Once there click Screen Savers and uncheck, Use random screen saver.
    Now click "Choose a folder" and select the folder you want to use for your screen saver. Now, click Options and make any changes you want.
    Now, after all that is done go back to Desktop and make sure you choose the same folder you're using for screen saver and let it create the photos. Then,
    click on any image and a pull down menu will appear that allows you to make changes to the way the pictures appear on the desk top...ie Full Screen, tile and so on.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I use album artowrk as a screen saver for atv gen2?

    I can't seem to find a way to get my album artwork to display as a screen saver for my apple tv.  I can get my pics from iphoto with no problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You'll need to create an album of your music artwork in iPhoto, the Apple TV doesn't have the facility to use album art in a screensaver.

  • How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

    How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
    In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

    If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
    1  - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
    2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
    3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
    This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
    NOTE:  With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera.  If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder.  If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
    With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
    This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

  • I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive.  I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos.  How do I remove them from my desktop screen?

    Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
    what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
    The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
    The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export  --  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive

  • IPhoto Metadata and the Collage Screen Saver

    I'm loving the new screen savers that came with Leopard, and I like the collage screensaver. I have good information that I entered in the iPhoto "info" box for photo names and dates. However, when I turn on the "Annotated" option in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences, it only displays the original File name and date (some stupid names instead like "P1764670" instead of "Camping at Inks Lake"...and sometimes the original date on a photo was wrong, so I correct them)...Is there a way to make the Collage screensaver look at the data I've painstakingly entered into iPhoto? At the very least, is there a way to migrate the data from iPhoto to rename the files and dates of certain photos? Does iPhoto '08 offer a solution that iPhoto 6 does not?
    Thanks
    iPhoto 6.0.6

    The desktop image is fine, taken from the exact same pool of jpg photos.  However, as soon as the slide show screen saver comes on, the images are scrambled.  What is it about the apple screen saver algorithm that scrambles the pics?

  • How to watch Iphoto albums on a remote TV

    I have aprox. 20000 photos in my Iphoto, which I only watch as albums. In the albums view I can control the sequence of the photos as I want.
    Observe, I do not watch the imported event (may contain several events in same import) to see the photos, and therefore I use the Iphoto albums to separate the different events in ame import.
    I have a normal Sony LCD TV (not smart TV), and have  a Mac with OS X (10.7.5) and Lion software, and i pretend to watch my photos via my local WiFi
    to for example a "box" located beside my TV.
    Is it possible?
    Is it possible to remote control my Iphoto albums from another room, using my wireless mouse (the mouse reach the Mac from this room)?
    Which Apple-equipment do I need to buy to do above?
    regards
    Mogens

    I can basically mirror exactly what's on my mac screen on to the tv.
    So your tv becomes your second monitor.
    Which means you control your photos exactly as you want.
    Here is a useful link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 but by the sound of it, you have to have a mid 2011 mac or later.
    The only thing I haven't sussed out is how to play music during the slide show using iPhoto through the tv, which is odd because I can play music from my music library through the Apple TV using my ipad.
    Make sure your wireless mouse works at your distance before you purchase. You may need someone to check the pointer is moving on the mac screen for you while your in the tv room lol.

  • How to prevent iPhoto to make an automatic event when importing from Photo stream

    Hi everyone,
    My question is related to the Photo stream functionality in iPhoto.
    Is possible to prevent iPhoto from making an automatic event when I import a photo from Photo stream. It is really annoying because of the fact that I use "events" for keeping my important photo's together (as many of you do I asume). Ofcourse after importing I can just delete it from my event section but is there a way to prevent it?
    Thanks.

    No. Photostream creates an Event for each month.
    iPhoto has many other tools for managing and categorising your Photos.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • How to prevent iPhoto from importing automatically

    There are times I want to load photos onto my computer but do not want iPhoto to import them.
    How can I prevent iPhoto from importing photos automatically when photos are loaded onto my computer?
    Thanks for your help and suggestions.

    Matt,
    That's quite a full trash can. To clarify, we're talking about the iPhoto Trash at the bottom of the Source Pane (left column) and not the regular Finder trash can that lives on your Desktop, right? If there are photos you wish to save in the iPhoto trash, drag them to the word Library at the top of the Source Pane and they will be restored to the library. When you're ready you can try to empty the trash: from the menu bar choose iPhoto > Empty trash. However, you may have trouble with so many files at once. If the trash won't empty you'll have to move the files back to the library and delete them in smaller batches (say 500) until they're all gone.
    Where was the iPhoto library recovered photos folder? Did you see it in the Source Pane of the iPhoto window, or was it inside the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder?
    Regards.
