HT4258 Trouble making a calendar in iPhoto

If this has been asked before, I'm sorry. I'm new to Apple and I'm having trouble!! I'm trying to make a calendar and I have 4 months left to go. Everytime I drag and click my photo to the spot it bounces back. What am I doing wrong???

drag them to the spot they bounce back
By spot what do you mean? The picture part of the month or a date box?
Happy Holidays

I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder

Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

How do I add text to a photo when making a calendar from iPhoto? I see the text box for the dates but not for the actual photo...thanks.

I can't find a way to add text to a photo once it's been put into the top pane of the calendar month...is there a way to do this since I'd like to add a descriptor to the photos? I see the text box when you click on the calendar date, but don't find one for the photo pane. Thanks for any assistance.

Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor

drag the calendar project to the iPhoto trash and start over - select a photo (or all of the photos you want in the calendar) and click on Calendar to create a new project with the selected photos in it - to add more drag them from events in the library to the calendar project in the left hand source pane

Iphoto only imports some ical dates when making a calendar

I am using Iphoto 11, on snow leopard, attempting to create a calendar populated with dates from ical. some dates show up, but many don't. there doesn't appear to be a pattern in terms of which dates appear and which don't. I have seens some posts that suggest dates with multiple events won't work, but this isn't the pattern i have seen. i have some dates with mulitple events that are imported and some that aren't. it also does seem to hit a date and stop, the missing dates are all throughout the year.
Anyone encounter anything like this before? Any work arounds?
Gosh I hate buggy software. #$&!@2

through additional experimentation, here is what i learned.
when i created the calendar, i told iphoto i wanted to display american holidays and a calendar from ical.
If i unselect the show holidays options, my dates import correctly. with holiday selected i get some dates from ical, but only to the extent they don't over lap with holidays.
once i noticed this pattern, i went back and forth and sure enough if you have an event from ical on say chirtmas day, it won't be imported into your calendar.
I didn't seem to matter which order the events were added to the calendar ... holidays first or ical calendar dates first.
Finally, i created an ical calendar with the holidays i wanted displayed, then in iphoto told it not to include holidays, but to display both ical calendars. That had the same issue. on date where you have events on both calendars, only one set of dates will appear in iphoto.
so to conclude building a calendar in iphoto you can not include dates from mulitple ical calendars without conflict.
i stopped short of merging calendars in ical, but i guess that's next.
Not to be too critical here, but that sounds like bug someone at apple might be able to fix.
Perhaps some of the developers you have building weekly updates to itunes and put them to work cleaning up this kind of mess.
Hope this helps others with the same problem.
regards.

Can I create a printed calendar in iphoto with ipad. Don't see that option.

IPhoto used in past by others in family to create a family calendar as Xmas gift. This year it is my job. Downloaded iPhoto for iPad from App Store. (Paid $4.99). Now can't find path to create a calendar. Description of iPhoto includes calendar, but seems ambiguous on use of iPhoto iPad app for this. Maybe can only do calendars on the Mac version? Can I use iPhoto for iPad to make a calendar?

iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.

Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"

No. The max no. of months you can create a calendar with is 24. You might try using iCal. It's perpetual.

I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

Is it possible to print a calendar in iPhoto'09? Or at least export it and save it in any other format?

I constructed a calendar in iPhoto'09, but I can't buy it, as my country (Russia) is not on the list in the drop-down box of the countries. And I can't export it and save it in any other format so that I could print it off myself. Would upgrading to iPhoto'11 help in any way? I understand it might not be possible to buy a printed calendar, as this service might not be available for Russia, but would I be able to at least export it to a different format? Thanks.

You can export your calendar in to pdf and print it wherever you want)
В iPhoto есть экспорт в pdf, сохрани его в этом формате на компьютере, а потом тебе в любой типографии распечатают)

I cannot order a calendar in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2)

I have tried ordering a calendar on iPhoto _09 version 8.1.2 and when i click order calendar i get two options 1) Cancel or 2) Set up an account. I already have an account and cancel definitely won't work so i click set up an account and enter my Apple account credentials which i have had for years and the next screen is 1 of 3 "create Apple ID" but all the information is prefilled with my previously entered apple ID info. Thats it i cannot go any further. Any ideas?

Go to the Apple store (store.apple.com) and delete and re-enter all of your information including billing information and be sure express check out is set

I am making a book in iPhoto using a double page spread and blank layout. I can't find a way to minimize the picture. it is too big in all the themes. I seems like there must be a way to shrink it not just zoom to make it fit?

Command (right) - click on the photo and select Fit to Frame in the contextual menu:
Not all frames in a theme offer that feature but most do. The spread layout doesn't.

ICal import bug when creating calendars in iPhoto 2011

Hi,
I just created a calendar in the new iPhoto 2011 and imported an iCal calendar to the project.
What I discovered is that it only imports one event per day to the calendar in iPhoto, although the calendar in iCal has sometimes more than one event per day.
Fx. in my calendar in iCal I have two events on a certain date, f.x my mothers birthday and my son's birthday on January 18th. However when importing this calendar to the calendar project in iPhoto only my mothers name gets imported. This was not an issue in iPhoto 2010.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Definitely a bug and unforgivable given the time of year - I usually order a couple of calendars as Christmas presents - If I can't order them in time for Christmas then Apple have lost the business.
It seems to me that iLife 11 was rushed out for Christmas. First the appalling upgrade problems and then the realisation that Calendars were not included. Two patches later and we still have an un-useable Calendar.
The worst part about it is, it's not obvious - I wonder how many people have ordered calendars and not noticed the missing Birthdays. I can see a lot of disappointed friends and relatives next year whose birthdays will be missed.
My only hope is an old backup of my Macbook - pre upgrade. If I can boot from that disk, import my recent photos, import the latest version of the iCal Calendar events, I can recreate the Calendar with iPhoto '09. Not sure I can be bothered,
