I have iphoto 8. My friend has 9. I can't import

I cannot load her cd of photos, why not?

Because iPhoto 8 cannot read a Library created by iPhoto 9. The changes to the library between versionss is the reason for this. The library changes as new features are added
No version of iPhoto can read a library created by a Later version.

  • I have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

    I have got two photos by mail from iPhoto. My friend has put descriptions in the description field. The I got the mail I saw the description below each photo. If I check the photos with Preview they have Exif and JFIF fields but no IPTC field.

    Does you friend use any accented letters in the descriptions?  That might cause it but I don't know for sure.
    Has he run any repair operations on his library, i.e. repairing the database file? Another possible fixe that's easy to apply is the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
        Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
    Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    and, if there is one, the
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For  Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • I have bought a Sandisk 8gb memory stick but can't import from iphoto onto it...help???

    I have bought a Sandisk 8gb memory stick but can't import from iphoto onto it...help???

    No I haven't formatted it, but don't really know how to either? I am a bit of a newbie at this and thought i just had to buy any memory stick and it would work. can you suggest how to format it for FAT32 ( I don't know what this is either ) as I will be using the memory stick for windows also at a later date.
    Thanks for your reply

  • I have an old ID that has $ but I can't remember the email or password.  How do I get the $ transferred to another account?

    I have an old ID that has $ but I can't remember the email or password.  How do I get the $ transferred to another account?

    You can't transfer a balance (nor its purchases) to another account. Do you have any of its purchases on your computer's iTunes library ? If you do then selecting it and doing 'get-info' (control-I) should tell you the account id on the Summary tab on the popup.
    You can also see if you can find the id and get the password reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

  • I have photos organized into named events in Dropbox, can I import these events directly into iPhoto?

    Hi all!
    So, my photos are currently in Dropbox, organized into named events that are not time-specific. When I imported them into iPhoto, my photos (all 10,000 of them!!) got placed in time specific albums! Ack! Is there a way to import them with my events still intact? Thanks!

    Copy one the folders to the Desktop first and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window.  That should create an Event with the folder name.  The folder will be placed in the Event window according to the photo with the latest date.
    If that works try dragging a folder directly from Dropbox into the open iPhoto window.  If that produces an Event with the same title as the folder continue from Dropbox.

  • I've registered my IPad to Finland.I want to buy a movie but the Finnish store doesn't have that. US store has. Why can't I buy it from there?

    Well the topic says it all. I'd be very happy if I could get advice how to get around this problem.

    The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store.  You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
    E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

  • IPhoto does not ask to use Photo, Can't import

    I option created a new library and location for Photos on an external drive from my Aperture library. Most of the photos/projects and folders are not visible. It will also not let me import from my iPhoto library now that the new Photos library is created. They are greyed out. How do you get Photo to recognize previous libraries?
    FROM THE HELP FILE, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER:
    iPhoto — and Aperture, if you downloaded it — remains on your system in the Applications folder, and you can continue to use it. If you open iPhoto or Aperture after you upgrade to Photos, you’ll be asked if you want to open your library there or in Photos.

    but it iPhoto is not asking if I want to use Photo instead, which according to the info it was supposed to.  I was hoping Photo would consolidate all my photography... Now it seems it is just another duplicate set of libraries.

  • I only have the exported .zip file for a project, can I import to captivate and make a .cptx source file?

    I am working on a multi-person team with Captivate 7. The CPTX source file cannot be located for one module. We have the exported .zip files in our Version Control system. Can I take these files and recreate the .cptx file. I don't mind having to recreate a little functionality, but am hoping to avoid starting from the beginning with this file.
    I know this can be done for RoboHelp files, was hoping some script existed for Captivate as well.

    You might be able to save a bit of headache by extracting the content of the zip. Likely a SWF will be inside along with other files. You could then play the SWF and capture the screens. Might save a tiny bit of effort.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I've imported one folder with MXF files successfully, but cannot do it with the other two folders.  I fear I may have messed with the original naming.  How can I import the rest?

    I shot footage with a rented Canon C300 (using their cards).  I transferred the footage to my laptop and I've been able to use log and transfer for the first folder of footage, but the remaining two folders of footage aren't being acknowledged as importable [it "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."] is there an example of a valid structure that I could mirror to make log and transfer successful? 

    Look at the first folder for the proper file structure.  But it might not be as simple as folders and the order things are, you might be missing ancillary data...files that tie to the media files.  If you are, then L&T won't work, and your best bet is to get the Calibrated MXF software from divergentmedia.com  That will allow your computer to read the MXF files natively...to allow you to convert them to ProRes. (trying to work with those native might prove difficult).
    I highly recommend tapeless offload software when shooting tapeless.  ShotPut Pro from imagineproducts.com is my favorite...works with just about every tapeless format.  What it does is copy the footage, and verify that everything has copied over...double checks everything. It also automates the process, will offload to multiple locations...  I swear by this software.

  • I have an iPhone 4S and my friend has two ipods with two Apple ID's.  Why can't he receive messages on "Message" on one and he uses a free text app on the other which receives messages from my phone just fine.

    My friend has two ipods.  Two Apple ID's and on one ipod he has a free text app on it and only Message on the other.  He cannot receive a message from my iphone 4S on the one with Message, but receives it fine on the one with the free text app.
    He can also receive a message from my iPad on the one with Message.
    My question is how can he recieve a text from my iPhone to the ipod which has a different Apple ID than the other but does not have a free text app?
    Also on the ipod he has the free text app he has not upgraded to ios7 and won't.

    Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
    Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
    If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

    my ipod has broken. a friend has given me her ipod. but how do i get to use as mine. i can erase her songs and i have mine all on my pc in itunes. help me please friends??

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
    The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
    If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.
