I created an Iphoto book...can I move the files
I created a book in Iphoto at work. I want to move this book/file to my computer at home. Has anyone had this happen to them? Is there a way to do this without recreating the book?
Thanks
Jonathan,
Old Toad likes to do this for each of his books, which he burns to DVD in case he wants to reorder in the future. It is a good way to ensure that you don't accidentally remove or edit a photo that would adversely affect the book.
Here's another cool tip from Old Toad. When the book is done he chooses Print. Inside the Print menu are PDF options. He does a "PDF to iPhoto" which makes a PDF of each book page, then imports them as jpegs into your library. Then he uses those jpegs in iDVD to create a slideshow version of the book, which he gives along with the book to the recipient. (Now I see you read this idea in another thread. Sorry, I didn't mean to repeat myself.)
I run my library from an external hard drive (it's too big for my mini's internal drive) and back up that entire drive to another external drive. I haven't yet felt the need to divide my library into multiples. I like that I can access all my photos from the same place, so all are available to me when I create a project like a calendar or book. A disadvantage to keeping multiple libraries is that only the most recently opened library will appear in the Media Pane of the other iLife apps (iMovie, iDVD, etc.) On the other hand, I have opened an old book to find a few photos missing. I had to go through the book and restore all the photos to it, and I still don't know why they disappeared from the book because they remained in my library the entire time. Fixing the book was easy enough, because I had the paper copy as a reference. So I can see how keeping a book and its library on DVD would be a great extra safety net. Of course, backing up the entire library is essential. I think Apple's answer to this is Time Machine in Leopard, and not with any feature of iPhoto itself.
Regards.

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?
Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.

Photoshop opens but I can't move the file.
It worked fine yesterday. I can't move the file or make is smaller on my MacBook Pro. It's "stuck" in one location on my laptop screen. It also runs off the bottom of the screen so I can't change the box size.
More importantly, I also can't move it to my Wacom Cintique screen. Some of my tool bar menus are also missing. Help?
Thanks for the help.

Looks like someone else may have found a workaround!
No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4167956
The important bits:
This solved my question by jonvid on Aug 5, 2012 11:42 PM
I had this same problem and I think I just found a solution. Turn on your Apple TV. BEFORE turning on the mirroring, change the output audio on your computer to Apple TV in System Preferences. After that, turn on the mirroring and the sound should be coming out of your tv.
Again, if you don't change the output before mirroring it will not work.
Hope this helps.

How do I move a saved photo book project back into iPhoto. I saved my project as a pdf document before sending to Apple for publishing. Now it is not in iPhoto projects page. ??
sorry, no, you cannot import a pdf-file as a book project.
Have you hidden your books in iPhoto? What is your iPhoto version?
In iPhoto '11 you could try to hover with the mouse to the right of the "Projects" headline to reveal the Show/Hide button.

The Customize feature doesn't support this action.
You want to slide the contents of the menu bar all the way to the right?
You could do this with a style rule, either in a userChrome.css file or using the Stylish extension. Here's a sample rule:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#toolbar-menubar {
position:relative !important;
#menubar-items {
position:absolute !important; right:0; top:0;

Can't move music files to playlists or ipod...
I've used iTunes for years, but for some reason, when I try to drag my music files to a playlist or to my iPod, the little green plus is not appearing and the playlist/iPod name does not highlight when I pass the cursor over it. I can't move any files anywhere! I can't move them from playlist to playlist or anything. I have "manually manage music" checked. I can't move old files or my new ones. It's not the iPod, because I can't move the files to playlists, either. I'm wondering if iTunes has a bug? I think I just updated it today.
It doesn't sound like it's an issue with the files themselves, but rather with the trash.
I haven't seen it, but I can see how that could occur. Each volume tends to have its own Trash folder. It's hidden, typically called .Trashes and at the root of the hard drive. I have had Trash-related issues outside of Aperture in the past (likely of my own doing). The issue with problems like these it it's nigh impossible to establish cause and effect… you could do something and not notice the problem for days or even weeks, in a completely un-related way.
I doubt that "Repair Permissions" is responsible for the fix, unless the files were on your boot volume. RP has no effect outside of a boot volume. -

Can I move the iPhoto library to my iDisk
- Can I move the iPhoto library to my iDisk and by doing so being able to share it between several computers (only one editing at the same time is OK.
Sharing means adding, editing, deleting ... photos.
- if yes can I use it with the local copy mode of iDisk?I doubt very much that you'd be able to access the library at any speed fast enough to make it viable solution. iDisk access is way too slow to make using a library on it possible.
And if you did, using the local iDisk copy and then have another computer access the actual iDisk version would only mess up the library when they were synced because you can't just file sync libraries. There are database files whose contents must be updated and there are not syncing applications that can do that. It would be the kiss of death for the library.
If you want to share a library between multiple computers on a LAN add an external FW hard drive to one of the Macs and locate the library there as Apple suggests: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users. Although written for uses on one computer it will work with multiple computers on a LAN that can log onto the host computer.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries 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. -
Is it possible to add additional fonts when creating an iPhoto book?
Is it possible to add additional fonts when creating an iPhoto book?
I have some additional fonts that would add a lot to the overall appearance of my i Photo book but cannot find a method for installing them into iPhoto.
Thanks for your assistance.
<Email Edited By Host>Use the Edit ➙ Shot Fonts menu option to bring up the Fost selection pane.
From there you can select any font you have installed on your Mac.

Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD?
Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?
I currenlty have a NAS which holds all my images.Yes you can, but you really, really don't want to.
You can store your photos on the External and have iPhoto link to them in that location. It's called having a Referenced Library.
In this scenario iPhoto creates an alias to the files in the Library and that's why you don't want to do this. Aliases work fin when everything is on the same volume or disk. However, if the alias points to something on another disk or volume and something in the path to the file changes, then the alias is broken. That means you could find yourself fixing each alias for every single photo in your Library, one at a time if something goes wrong.
And heaven forbid you would ever want to move the files to another disk.
See why I say you really, really don't want to?
Also note, that your edited photos would still be on the internal HD as they are always stored in the Library.
Aperture, on the other hand, can deal with this scenario quite easily, and has tools to reconnect to the original should the link be broken

HT201317 How can I move a file in photo stream to an event in iPhoto?
How can I move a file from photo stream to an event in iPhoto?
Select photo stream on the left panel in iPhoto, then drag and drop the photo from photo stream to Events on the top left under Library. If you then want to move it to a specific event in your library, click on Events, locate the photo and drag and drop it on the event you want to add it to.

I have Iphoto library in Apeture. Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the apeture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work?? It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty. I would like to do this just to reorganize the photos between the two. I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
Tell us more, please. I am not quite sure, what you want to do and how you are using Aperture and iPhoto?
Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto are you using?
Do you have separate photo libraries for Aperture and iPhoto, or are you opening your iPhoto libraries in Aperture?
I have Iphoto library in Apeture.
Did you import an iPhoto library into Aperture? And now you are seeing a section "iPhoto Library" in the Aperture projects list in the Inspector?
Events and albums you imported from iPhoto (Import > Library > Some iPhoto Library) will be imported as Aperture projects and albums, and they will behave exactly as other Aperture projects and albums.
Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the aperture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work?? It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.
You can drag images from any project in Aperture to other projects and that will move (not duplicate) the images and all its versions to that project. And when you drag all images from the project to another project, the remaining project will be empty and can be deleted. (Caution: Photos that you have hidden in iPhoto will not be visible in Aperture. If you are not sure, if you have hidden photos, open the library again in iPhoto and unhide all photos).
I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
There should be no problem with moving all photos from the same years to the same projects. You can also drag projects in "Projects" view on top of each other. That will merge them.
You could also define smart albums in Aperture to search for images taken at a specific period of time:
File > New > Smart album:
Then, in the Smart Settings HUD, click "Add Rule" and add a Date or Calendar rule.
For example, to find all images taken in 2010, use a rule "Date > Capture Year is > 2010"
To search for Photos taken at a specific date or at several dates, use a "calendar" rule. This way, you do nat have to type the date, but can pick it from a mini calendar.
