HT5129 Iphoto will move MobileMe Gallery into Albums section -freezes.  Any suggestions?

Iphoto '11 Freezes when trying to migrate mobileme to iphoto library.  Any suggestions?

I had a feeling it might have to do with rebuilding the library, so I did a search on that and came up with this link for iPhoto 08, which also works for this current version. Apparently it's not uncommon to corrupt the library when updating iPhoto (doesn't happen with my other programs, though, so maybe iPhoto people need to improve the system better.)

After rebuilding it, I actually did have the same dialog box come up twice, deleting two more albums, but that was it, leaving 30 plus albums intact. So in the end, I don't know what exactly the problem was, nor whether what I did solved it. However, if anybody is interested, the rebuild dialog box opens if you hold the "option" and "command" keys down while opening iPhoto. I checked off each box there and rebuilt.

  • Is there a way to import photos into iPhoto '11 from MobileMe Gallery?

    I am soon to take a trip with a digital camera, iPad2 and camera connection kit. I know I can store a great many photos on my iPad during the trip. I have a MobileMe account, so I know I can export the photos to the Gallery easy enough. I would like to know if, when I return home to my iMac, there is a way to import those photos directly into iPhoto from the MobileMe Gallery. If yes, then I can delete the photos from the iPad2 periodically as they mount up, knowing they are safe in the Gallery and available for further use in iPhoto and elsewhere. If no, then the Gallery is really of little use to me and I won't spend the time uploading to the Gallery.
    My apologies in advance as I am also posting this exact question in the MobileMe forum.
    I depart very soon and hope the Community here can offer some quick advice! Thanks!

    If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

  • My iphoto events were not transformed into albums in Photo. Is there a way I can retrieve them?

    My iphoto "events" were not transformed into albums in the new Photos for Yosemite, and therefore I am back with my bulk pics, not filed. Is there a way I can retrieve the classification I had made, please?

    Whenever you connect iPhone in iTunes, it syncs and a backup is created. Check backup folder if you have that time-stamped file saved.

    Have you selected the spread layout?
    If so change it to a single page full page layout

    How did you rebuild?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • I have several iCloud shared photo streams . They all download fine into my iPhone, but one doesn't download into my MacBook. Any suggestions?

    I have several iCloud shared photo streams . They all download fine into my iPhone, but one doesn't download into my MacBook. Any suggestions?

    Tried that too over the weekend,I unchecked the Photos option in iCloud preferences in System, let iPhoto do it's thing, then restarted the Mac, and turned iCloud Photos back on again... it looked promising the first hour... but then stopped downloading 20 or so albums. I have over 80 shared albums created over the years.
    Also, the albums it did download, sometimes they're not even complete nor in any particular order.
    I did exactly what you did. It took two days, but slowly all shared streams came back.
    If the photo streams do not reappear, try if removing the content of this folder will help: It contains the photos downloaded from the shared streams. Perhaps one photo is corrupted.
    ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/
    Quit iPhoto
    Move the folder above from your User Library to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way? If so, try using the Force Quit command. It's under the Apple Menu.

    Looking for an app that will convert written chemical formulas to text. Any suggestions?

    I could not find any app that would do this. There are different types of message apps but nothing that I could find to do what I am looking for. For a specific contact I would like the message to have a notification that will not go away until I acknowledge it. Just like you would do if it was a pager.

  • I can't get my contacts from IPhone to go into my ICloud on my PC so that I can load into my IPad.  Any suggestions?

    I can't get my contacts from my IPhone to upload into my iCloud on my PC so that I can load them into my IPad.  Any suggestions?

    I'm not sure if you mean to say "back up" because a backup does not include contacts.  What you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud and turn on both icloud and contacts.  That should connect the phone to icloud and sync the contacts.

    Hi vanover7,
    It sounds as if when you connect your iPad to your computer it does not show up in iTunes, is that correct? 
    Please use the steps in this article to troubleshoot the issue -

    I had the same issue I bought my MacBook Pro in Jan. my harddrive was bad and they had to replace it. I know the guy held down the shift botton for a little then pressed the power botton while still holding down the shift botton and it turned on but not completely since my hard drive was bad.
