I do *not* want iMovie to scan my iPhoto library - how?
I have an enormous amount of short video clips in iPhoto, and I don't need iMovie to scan them. The problem is that it always want to scan iPhoto when I start iMovie. I looked in the preferences and there seems to be no way to tell iMovie to NOT scan iPhoto - I accidentally clicked yes, and now it takes forever to start.
I know that if I move the iPhoto library temporarily elsewhere, iMovie will not see it and start up instantaneously, but it is not a good workaround.
Any help would be appreciated
Answering part of my question...
If, the last time I used iMovie, the "iPhoto Videos" item is not selected, but something else, like Last Import or any other event in the Event Library, then when iMovie restarts, it will not load the iPhoto Library, and will load very quickly.
Problem solved.

I can not enable selected photos to sync to my iphone 5. It is greyed out. I do not want to sync my entire iPhoto library.. help!
Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day. -
I have 2 iphones that share the same apple ID I do not want them to share contacts and apps how can I change this?
You can use separate AppleIDs for iCloud, iMessage and iTunes - you just need to create unique AppleIDs for the iCloud accounts if syncing contacts that way (you will need an email address that is not already registered as an AppleID though to get another AppleID).
Apps are a different matter in that purchases are tied to the AppleID used to log in to the store to make the purchase. So you can create another AppleID for iTunes as well and use different ones on the different phones, but any apps you have already purchased with your existing AppleID are permanently tied to that AppleID.
Really, unless you are sharing apps, content and such, there is no reason to use the same AppleID on each anyway. So the simplest solution is to create new AppleID(s) for the second device. If you need an email address to do that, just get a gmail account (or hotmail, yahoo or any other free email account). -

If you have visual voicemail, you dont' need a password.

Want to "move back" my iPhoto library +photos
Hi,
I am new to this forum and after reading a lot of pages I canot find any answer to my question !!
I changed my HD on my MBP (I have now a 320Go) and wanted to "get back" from an external HD, my iPhoto library and my files with originals photos wich have not been "imported" into iPhoto : menu "prefs/advanced/Import/copy in the iPhoto library is not checked".
I hope my explanations are OK !!
thanks
JacquesJames
Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
my iPhoto library and my files with originals photos wich have not been "imported" into iPhoto : menu "prefs/advanced/Import/copy in the iPhoto library is not checked".
You are running a referenced library - which is not recommended for a number of reasons including it makes things like new hard drives and computers more difficult
One way to accomplish your desired move is to use alias herder - http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/downloads/aliasherder/ - to convert your library to a managed library - then you can simply quit iPhoto and drag the library where ever you want it and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point to it
Since the key to a referenced library is that the path to the photos does not change it may be possible to move the referenced library to your internal drive leaving the original photos where they are - I've not seen this but it seems that it might work - easy to give a try - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the pictures folder on the internal drive and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key - if it works you have a partial solution - if it does not simply launch iPhoto with the option key and point back to the library that still exists on the EHD and delete the one you just moved to the internal drive
And note that you have imported your photos into iPhoto - you simply have not copied the originals to the iphoto library - the importing process is much more than just copying the photo - it involved updating all of the iPhoto database pointers

Photos scanned to iPhoto Library can't be found!
I scanned some photos from my new Canon CanoScan 8800F, using both the PhotoStudio and Photoshop Elements 4.0 programs that came with the scanner. I saved them to my iPhoto Library, but when I go to iPhoto they are nowhere to be found, in the Last Import or anywhere else. When I try to import them using File>Import feature, they show up but are grayed out, as they are if I look for them in the Finder. However, I can still open them up in both PhotoStudio and Photoshop. So, I then copied them to my desktop from those programs and tried to drag them into iPhoto - whereupon iPhoto says they are already there! I scanned them as jpegs, and the first 4 or 5 photos I scanned worked just fine. Shut down and reopened iPhoto - no dice. ARGHHHH! Please help! Thanks.

Rule 1 - Never, Never, Never modify the content of the iPhoto library - doing so will not work and may corrupt your library
Since you have places photo in the iPhoto library that it does not know about you must remove them from the iphoto library - backup first and be extremely careful not to make any other changes - and then import them to iPhoto.
iPhoto is a database and for it to know about photos they must be imported into iPhoto - and you can not import photos from within the iPhoto library into the iPhoto library

Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
Itunes will not sync. my photos from my Iphoto library
When I try to sync photos to my iPod (80gb video Ipod) it gives me the error "The iPod cannot by synced. The required file cannot be found." Does anyone know what file this is and why it cannot find it? Thanks for any help.I asked the same question last February and got no help from Apple and a well intentioned but not so useful reply from a fellow Mac user.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=843093&tstart=0
However, when switching to a new MacBook Pro, I observed what happened and found out the root of the problem.
When you tell iTunes to sync your iPod with your iPhoto Library, it creates a folder called "iPod Photo Cache" at >User>Pictures>iPhoto Library, which depending on the size of your iPhoto library, or how many pics you want to sync with iTunes, it can be huge! (1,600+ pics created a 1Gb+ folder).
The solution is obvious: just delete that folder and let these applications create a new one next time you instruct iTunes to sync your photos. To be sure, next time you open iTunes after you throw away that folder, uncheck the iPhoto option, close iTunes, make sure the folder is gone, and then, when you open iTunes again with your iPod connected, check it again having made sure that the pesky folder is not there and iTunes (or iPhoto, who knows) will create a fresh one.
By the way, iPod Photo Cache folders are created all over the place! Do a Spotlight search in your hard drive and you will be amazed about how many you will find!
Good luck! Hope it works! -

Aperture not opening due to alleged old iPhoto Library
Dear all
I try to open Aperture and I am getting this error message:
What I do not understand:
I am using iPhoto 9.3.2 and the library is updated
I am using Aperture 3.3.2
I am keeping separate libararies for iPhoto and Aperture, so Aperture should not even try to use my iPhoto library
Even rebuilding the iPhoto Database did not help
Even opening the Aperture library by double-clicking on it in finder did render the same error
When I restart the computer and lock on as a different user, I can open Aperture as long as I do not open iPhoto. Trying to open Aperture after openening iPhoto results in the same error. The only way to open Aperture again is by locking back on as another user and opening Aperture. Having done that, all other users can use Aperture again.
Does anybody have any idea what to do?
I am using the latest MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.4
Thanks and best regards,
RobertHi Robert,
the safest way to share an Aperture library is to put the library into an own disk partition or onto an external drive. This way you can set the" ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then both can read and write to the library using the default permission setting that "repair permissions" creates.
Would it be possible for you to use an external drive or to partition your internal drive?
To set the "ignore ownership flag" select the external drive in the Finder and then press cmd-I (for File > Get Info). Unlock the padlock in the Info panel and disclose the "Sharing and Permissions" brick. The flag is at the bottom of the panel.
Your drive should be formatted MacOS X Extended to be used with Aperture and directly connected, via firewire, usb, thunderbolt, not a network volume.
If you cannot use a separate drive right now, try to set the "Shared Folder" flag on the folder with the Library, but some posters have reported problems with videos in a shared folder.
Regards

Ok so how can i just back up the newer photos to my iPhoto library on my EHD? If it overwrites the backed up library it will delete the older photos that I backed up and then deleted from my iMac HD.
Do you want to back up only your photos and not your current library? Then you will not get a backup of your albums, books, calendars, ..
A lot ofyour organizational work will not be backed up, if you only save the newer photos.
To find the new photos create a smart album:
From Photo's main menu bar: File > New > Smart album
and add a rule: Date is after .... ; enter the date of your last backup.
Then export the photos from this album to a folder on your backup drive.
File > Export > Original
But it would be much better simply to copy the iPhoto library to the external drive, after renaming the older library, so that it will not be overwritten.
Regards
Léonie
You might consider to let TimeMachine do the work and keep track of changed versions.
Use Time Machine to backup the library regularly, so you always can restore a current version aand can find older photos that have been deleted, and make occisiona snapshots of the whole library on a second backup drive. -

I cannot get the option of "None" to show up under payment methods. Does anyone know why this is or how to fix it?
If you do not want to enter a credit card when you create an account you can use an iTunes Store card to add credit to an account. This is what allows you to have the "None" payment option.

I do not want to import copies to iPhoto
When I connect my iPhone 5S with iOS 8.1 to my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10
I do not want to import copies of my photo to iPhoto in my MacBook.
Could some help me to solve this issue?Hello there, BosseH.
The feature that activates the behavior of launching iPhoto automatically when you connect your iPhone is set within the iPhoto application itself. The following Knowledge Base article provides the instructions on how to turn the feature off by selecting "No Application":
iPhoto '11: Change what happens when you connect a camera to your computer
To choose the application that opens:
Make sure no cameras are connected to your computer.
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click General.
Choose an option from the “Connecting camera opens” pop-up menu.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Nikon D50 - DO not want to upload photos into iPhoto
Hello, I have a Nikon D50 camera, and I do not want iphoto to open when I connect the camera to the computer. iphoto automatically opens and I would much rather just copy the files to my hardrive myself. How do I do this?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
In your Applications folder you have Image Capture. Launch it and open its Preferences. This is where you set what you want to happen when you connect your camera. You can set it to launch Image Capture, which you can use to download the photos from your camera to a folder of your choice. Or set it to open nothing, and launch the application of your choice manually.
Regards.
