ILife 06 Size

Hello Everyone,
I have a one year old iBook, and was thinking of upgrading to iLife 06. I have a small concern. It mentions on the Apple Store site that it takes 10 GB of HD space to install it. Is that in addition to the space used by the iLife on my laptop already, or will it simply update the old and not take up that much space. I am not really a computer guy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

CWDolin:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The 10 G is total for iLife. It will replace the existing iLife components that are on your laptop. Garageband is pretty large but you can elect not to install it. That will reduce that 10G number a bit. If you don't have a SuperDrive you might consider not installing iDVD also.
If you're considering iLife, wait until the end of next week as there's a good chance that iLife 07 will be released next week at the MacWorld Expo.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

In this case, I cant strongly enough recommend LOTS of ram; you wont need a fast hard drive if you can hold the whole high-res image in core I would also suggest you consider a trinatron monitor at 18" or so; so you can have purty 1600x1200 images (except for the dead line which trinatrons have) to play with; might make keeping cost under control difficult, but they *are* the only eyes you have got
Your point about real time virus scanning and loading large files (later) is well taken; in light of this I cant fault your choice of hard drive (although there is a 72GB version available at the same speed, not cheap tho.).

IMO, dropping $30 from the graphic card and $40 from hard disk will not save that much to get critical component or get higher one, if i do so i can add $30 to get another stick of 512 ram, but i rather keep the HD and GC, and for now the capacity is not an issue for me
Life in the US is good if such components are cheap; over here is Aus the high end graphics and disks are still BLOODY expensive whilst ram is relatively cheap.
Indeed, going from the drive and gfx card you have to a 80gb ata-4 and a more basic gfx card would save ~250 AUD; which is another stick of 512MB PC3700.
Lucky you.
Anyway, in light of your comments, I cant strongly enough recommend RAM; but your other components seem good (I tend toward HP printers down here, but that relates to print reliability at high ambient temp and ink costs); Dont forget a GOOD PSU (many discussions about such, I recommend Antec TruPower 480W).
Of course, I cant resist recommending you go linux, openoffice and GIMP (photoshop workalike); that would save you a LARGE chunk of cash to spend on better hardware (about ~$1200 bucks if you planned to buy XPpro, OfficeXP and Photoshop down here).

ILife 08 Audio Loops Don't Work In The Browser Of Soundtrack 1.5 ?

Yes, I know this is the FCE forum but I also know a lot of you use Soundtrack !
This had me puzzled for nearly an hour until I spotted what was "wrong".
The iLife 08 audio loops are .caf files, not .aif.
They DO NOT play in the Browser of Soundtrack 1.5 but they DO play when they are dragged into the Timeline. So it means they can't be previewed.
Now here is the queer thing ....... they play perfectly in the Browser of Soundtrack Pro 2.0.
So is there any way of making the Soundtrack 1.5 Browser play .caf audio or is it just not compatible? .............. It's strange that they are OK in the Project Timeline.

Ian,
It appears Amadeus Pro will let you convert the .caf files to something else. I suppose other programs will also convert the files and maybe that's not what you want to do. Here's a bit from the Amadeus Pro manual:
3.7 The Apple CAF File format
This is a format developed by Apple and designed to replace AIFF in the long term. It removes the 2GB ﬁle
size limitation of AIFF and supports a wider variety of compression algorithms.
While the CAF ﬁle format does in principle support sound data with many channels, the current version of
AmadeusPro only supports the reading and writing of mono or stereo ﬁles in this format. AmadeusPro
will therefore downmix multitrack documents to a mono or stereo ﬁle, whichever is more suitable.
Metadata is lost when saving to the Apple CAF format (this may change in the future, as the format in
principle supports the inclusion of metadata).

How do I set up iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1 to send emails with medium/Large/actual size? I try sending photos to a publisher and iPhoto automatically shrinks them to about 40 kB. Publisher needs between 0.5 and 7 MB. My ISP has a limit of 12MB

How can I get to email photos at higher resolution?
My "iPhoto" or "Mail" automatically reduces photos to about 40 KB .
My photos, taken with a common Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 include flora which I send to a publisher.
I am fairly new to my MacBook (Mac S X Version 10.6.8). I have been using it for a year.
I found I could not successfully send Large or Full size photos.
A few days ago I downloaded a new version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1).
Again, although I get the option of choosing to send small/medium/large//full size photos, it actually only sends them as "Small" (ie about 40kb) which is useless to publish. If I drag a picture onto the desktop (where my EXIF tells me it is full size) then attach it to an email by dragging, againg the sent email is at "small" size ~40KB).
My ISP (Westnet) tells me that their maximum accepted size is 12 MB.
I suspect that I have failed to set up iPhoto for this purpose. (I am well into retirement but, although geriatric, did study University Physics about half a century ago)

What's the best storage solution for a large iLife? RAID? NAS?

I'm looking for an affordable RAID storage solution for my Time Machine, iTunes Library, iMovie videos, and iPhoto Library. To this point I've been doing a hodgepodge of external hard drives without the saftey of redundancy and I've finaly been bitten with HD failures. So I'm trying to determine what would be the best recommendation for my scenario. Small Home Office for my wife's business (just her), and me with all our media. I currentlty have a mid-2010 Mac Mini (no Thunderbolt), she has an aging 2007 iMac and 2006 MacBook Pro (funny that they're all about the same benchmark speed). We have an AppleTV (original), iPad2 and two iPhone 4S's.
1st Question: Is it better to get a RAID and connect it to my Airport Extreme Base Station USB port as a shared disk? OR to connect it directly to my Mac Mini and share through Home Sharing? OR Should I go with a NAS RAID?
2nd Question: Simple is Better. Should I go with a Mac Mini Server and connect drives to it? (convert my Mac Mini into a server) or Should I just get one of those nice all-in-one 4-bay RAID drive solutions that I can expand with?
Requirements:
1. Expandable and Upgradeable. I don't want something limited to 2TB drives, but as drives get bigger and cheaper I want to easily throw one in w/o concerns.
2. Simple integration with Time Machine and my iLife: iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto. If iTune's Home Sharing feature is currently the best way of using my media across multiple devices then why mess with it? I see "DLNA certified" storage on some devices and wonder if that would just add another layer of complexity I don't need. One more piece to make compatible.
3. Inexpensive. I totally believe in the "You Get What You Pay For" concept. But I also realize sometimes I'm buying marketing, not product. I imagine that to start, I'm going to want a diskless system (because of $$$) to throw all my drives into, and then upgrade bigger drives as my data and funds grow.
4. Security. I don't know if its practical, but I like the idea of being able to pop two drives out and put them in my safe and then pop them back in once a week for the backup/mirroring. I like this idea because I'm concerned that onsite backup is not always the safest. Unfortunately those cloud based services aren't designed for Terabytes of raw family video, or an entire media library that isn't wholey from the iTunes Store. I can't be the only one facing this challenge. Surely there's an affordable way to keep a safe backup for the average Joe. But what is it?
5. Not WD. I've had bad experiences with Western Digital drives, and I loathe their consumer packaged backup software that comes preloaded on their external drives. They are what I meant when I say you get what you pay for. Prettily packed garbage.
6. Relatively Fast. I have put all my media on an external drive before (back when it fit on one drive) and there's noticeable spool-up hang time. Thunderbolt's nice and all, but so new that its not easily available across devices, nor is it cheap. eSata is not really an option. I love Firewire but I'm getting the feeling that Apple has made it the red-headed step-child of connections. USB 3.0 looks decent, but like eSata, Apple doesn't recognize it exists. Where does that leave us? Considering this dilemma I really liked Seagate's GoFlex external drives because it meant I could always buy a new base and still be compatible. But that only works with single drives. And as impressive as Seagate is, we can't expect them to consistently double drive sizes every two years like they have been -cool as that may be.
So help me out without getting too technical. What's the best setup? Is it Drobo? Thecus? ReadyNAS? Seagate's BlackArmor? Or something else entirely?
All comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great. i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive. My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes. I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV
I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.

ILife 08 Photo Import hangs.

My troubles began several months ago when I upgraded from a Canon Elp 2.0 MP camera to the Canon G7 10 MP. First I noticed that since the G7 now used a 2GB SD card rather than a CF card, I cold not longer use the Firewire card reader that I had enjoyed. No matter, I plugged the G7 directly in the USB 2.0 port and attempted to download about 250 photos. After about 50 photos, the whole process hung and came to an abrupt halt. the 50th photo only imported about halfway down the image and then the whole process hung. The work around was to abandon the import, save the photos that had been imported so far and then continue in batches of 50. Not exactly life threatening, but annoying to say the least.
iLife 08 had been announced so I thought that perhaps it might solved the problem. In the meantime, I purchased a Lexar Media USB 2.0 multi card reader at the suggestion of "Old Toad" on this forum thinking that might solve the issue. I wish I could say that my troubles were over but I can't. When I plugged the SD card into the Multi-reader, the G5 will not even recognize it. Just for fun, I tried plugging in an old CF card and it showed up right away.
To make matters worse still, I received iLife 08 hoping that one or all of these issues might be resolved. No such luck. I downloaded about 42 photos directly from the digital camera (Canon G7) using iLife 08 and the thumbnails all showed up on the screen just as promised. However, my problem started when I hit the Import button. After importing 18 of the photos, the 19th photo only came in halfway and the import process hung after that. I re-tried the procedure repeatedly with no success.
So now I don't quite know what to do or which piece of equipment to throw away. BTW - my Dell laptop seems to be able to read the SD card rather nicely so I'm tempted to use the PowerMac G5 as a door stop at this moment.
This is becoming a very frustrating experience. Between ILife 08, The Lexar Reader and the CF-SD converter, I have about $200 invested and I'm no further ahead. do you think perhaps that the Dane-elec 2 GB SD card just isn't recognizable by the G5? I find this an absurd notion since even my Dell Laptop can see it.
Any thoughts and or suggestions would be most welcome.
John

Greetings,
If you open iPhoto without the camera plugged in does it load all your pictures and can you double-click on a few and they show up full size just fine?
If so this may be an issue with the camera / bad data on the camera.
Before we go down that road, so basic fixes:
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
If the same issue occurs try importing the pictures off the camera using Image Capture found in your Applications folder: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ImageCapture/6.0/en/5304.html
__Assuming this imports fine and the images are working for you, you probably want to reformat / erase the camera's media card using the reformat or erase option built into the camera.
If the images do not show up fine when double-clicked and iPhoto still has issues when the camera is not plugged in try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
Hope that helps.

Help, my new Blog entries, since iLife '08 upgrade, don't show ANY text!

Ever since upgrading to iLife '08, my new Blog entries do not show any of the text once it is uploaded to the server. In fact, all of my recent Blog entries now have all thier text gone when viewed online. Only Blog pages in "Archives" are still normal. What gives?! They all look good in iWeb, but not live. Thanks for your help. Wayne
[email protected]

Hi Cedric. I went ahead and took down all recent changes to my site, and then just re-uploaded my last good set-up from iLife 2006. I think iLife 2008 changes how blog pages are addressed. As an example, my two most recent good entries show on the web as:
http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/693901ED-99E6-42D3-8AA9-7F8338989B47.html
http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/629035FF-E021-4B9D-AFE5-D091583E0676.html
Notice the long string of numbers, letters, and dashes, after the word /Blog/? My iWeb in iLife 2008 no longer puts those types of strings at the end of /Blog/. Instead, the Blog web entries show as:
http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26Tuning_In_With_Wayne_Henderson_podcast_39_%26_40%2C_by_Wayne_Henderson_Voice-ove rs(206)984-1446iPhone_GreenpeacePackers!.html (before I took it down because it wasn't working right).
Could the fact that instead of the string of number, letters, and dashes after /Blog/, my iLife '08 uses "/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26_Tu....etc" have anything to do with my problem of text not showing?
I've always used the same fonts, sizes, and colors. But now it's not working. What is weird, however, is that if I did Select All, and Copy and Paste the web page contents onto Notepad...the text IS THERE...just not showing on the web.
Argh!

How can I see the photo quality settings in iLife'06 books

I assembled a 100 page book using iLife'05 over the last week or so. Luckily I hadn't ordered the book before learning about the new "improved print quality" when using iLife'06.
Well, iLife'06 finally arrived today and I installed it and... Well, do I need to scrap my old book or can I just go ahead and order through iLife'06 and get that new great quality?
While still running iLife'05 I printed my book to a PDF file and the file size for the PDF is 150.4MB.
I then installed iLife'06 and printed the same book to another PDF file and the size of the file was ONLY 57.4MB. Almost a third the size. If anything I was expecting the PDF file to be much larger (double?).
I even did a side by side comparison of the two PDF files using Preview and I've got to say that the '05 version was better than the '06. This makes sense since the file size is much larger in the '05 I would expect the image quality to be better.
So, now I'm worried. How can I see what the settings are and how can I tell what I'll get when I'm going to order a book?
Thanks!

Chuck:
The Print to PDF file is not exactly the same as the one iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. Here's how to get the iPhoto version. It involves going thru the ordering process until the book is assembled and then finding and copying the pdf file to the desktop and then canceling the ordering process.
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is "/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.

Upgrade from 4.0.3 to 5.0 or 6.0? And how to reduce size of photo?

I am using an old iMac installed with Mac OS 10.3.9 and iPhoto 4.0. If I want to upgrade to iPhoto 5.0 or 6.0, can i do it using the current OS? And is it free like iTunes upgrade?
I also need to reduce the size of a pic from several hundred KBytes to 50KBytes. How can I do it? I don't have Photoshop or any similar stuff?

iPhoto is part the "iLife" package.
To get the current version of iPhoto requires that you update/upgrade to the iLife 06 package.
To reduce the size of a picture, you can do this:
In iPhoto, select the picture(s) you want to scale down (reduce file size).
Click on the "email" button at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
iPhoto will ask what size you want them to be (S, M, L), and them paste them into a new email document for sending.
If you don't WANT to send an email, just save it as a Draft email, and save it for later.
You can then drag the pictures form the email document to your desktop, or to any other folder when you want them.
You can also save copies with the ave email attachment command in the iPhoto main menu (I believe true for most versions).
good luck!

Change text size in multiple titles

To me, iMovie's most glaring weaknesses seem to fall under its text handling abilities, despite all the glitzy swoopy things you can do.
I have several screens of rolling titles in a project and last night I decided to change the text size. It's impossible! No, you can change it, but how do you get them all the same size when iMovie doesn't give you any exact type sizes, just that stupid slider? The only way I've been able to do it so far is trial and error, and it's faster to simply recreate the titles than do that, there's so much error involved.
So I thought maybe there's a way of applying a style to multiple titles...is there?
Thanks.

I can't speak for the old iMovie 4, but it works on iMovie 6 is you shift-select all the ones you want to change, and then apply the change.
I tried all the multiple selection things I could think of, but the problem is that iMovie 4, when you select a title, also selects the text. So even if you could apply a change to all the title clips, you would be applying the same text to each one - not gtreat. But so far I haven't been able to effect changes to multiple titles this way so they must have changed it in the later version.
What with the new bug I discovered yesterday (the audio track and the video track's visual sync is off after seven minutes, even though the two are in sync to the ear - in this case, they are FOUR friggin' seconds off! The visual representation of the audio track is ahead of where the sound is at that point even though the audio and video tracks end at the same time visually. Yeesh!) I'm thinking I need to try to find an old copy of Final Cut somewhere, one that will run on my machine. I got my iLife off Craigslist, a must for people like me with virtually no disposable income. Then again, I don't know squat about Final Cut. I just know that what's available on the Mac for video editing on the lowest spectrum really seems to be less than usable for my purposes.

Is it possible to change the size of a text box on a photo book page

I am a first-time user of the photo book application in iPhoto. I am wondering if it is possible to:
1. change the size of a text box
2. have more than one text box on a page
3. move the text box around.
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions someone might have.

How do you purge/compress/shrink the iPhoto11 folder/file size?

How do you purge/compress/shrink the iPhoto11 folder/file size?
I have been using iPhoto since iLife'05 and have always upgraded with each iteration of iLife. Without exception, I had just recently upgraded to iPhoto'11 when iLife'11 came out. Because I have used iPhoto to store all my photos and videos taken over the last 5 years or so, my iPhoto folder/file has become bigger and bigger over time and so I moved it to an external hard-drive. My main iPhoto'11 folder/file has 14,367 photos, 995 videos and is indicated to be 83 GB by iPhoto'11. But "Get Info" in Finder reports a whopping 130 GB.
I started to think that this is getting a little crazy and I had wanted to better manage my photo collection, so I decided to "divide and conquer" this gigantic iPhoto'11 folder/file into several smaller, more manageable sized ones. So I made a duplicate copy of this gigantic iPhoto'11 folder/file onto another external hard-drive, fire-up iPhoto'11 again to delete away almost 80% of the photos and 90% of the videos. Now, my "slimmed-down" iPhoto folder/file has 3,000 photos, 75 videos and is indicated to be 6.8 GB by iPhoto'11. But despite the new "slimmed-down" status, the "Get Info" in Finder reports a still very huge 44 GB. Where did all those bulk come from? I have emptied both the iPhoto'11 Trash Can and Mac OS X Trash Can and these steps did not seemed to change anything at all.
Therefore, I wanted to see what the "Get Info" in Finder will report if I were to delete 99.99% of the photos and video to leave just one (1) photo in iPhoto'11? Guess what is the result? My "One Photo experimental" iPhoto folder/file has 1 photo, 0 videos and is indicated to be 2 MB by iPhoto'11 yet the "Get Info" in Finder reports a mysterious 36.3 GB. There must be something hiding inside!
Help! What can I do?

I went on to try trashing away some of the folders and files inside and found that I could actually do it quite neatly if I go by the year which the photos are taken. After a lot of trial and error working on duplicate copy of my iPhoto '11 library, I am able to do away with all the clutter within the library and still open it normally.
Now my 44GB obese iPhoto'11 library has been slimmed down to just a little over 7 GB (5 GB as reported by iPhoto'11) and I am just comfortable dealing with 2 GB of "don't-know-what-info" of clutter within the library.
Remember my "One Photo Experimental" iPhoto'11 library that was 36.3 GB? I managed to bring it down to the realistic 22 MB size. This size is still double that of a brand new iPhoto'11 library I created to import 1 photo. However, it sure beat having 36.3 GB of clutter.
So, now what I am gonna do is to "divide and conquer" the duplicate copies of my iPhoto'11 library into smaller sized ones according to their year. But I think I'll still keep the original bloated, gigantic 130 GB intact and continue to feed it with photos and videos until maybe it becomes 1 TB! Yikes!
Anyway, million thanks for your tip and I really appreciate it! Have a Happy holidays!

Maximum file size of 2 GB exceeded please choose a shorter bounce time

I have done a thorough search online (w/google) trying several combinations of words but I seem to be the only person on the planet with this error. I guess I will try to remake the project but I don't think it will fix the problem. I also will update my OS to 10.4.10, anyways here is the the error message.
"Maximum file size of 2 GB exceeded please choose a shorter bounce time"
I just bought and installed iLife 08 and the 8.1 update for Garageband. I have a 3 hr and 50 track on the time line and I have added chapter marks with 16k pics. The original combined track size (wav files) did exceed 2GB but I edited the files in itunes (to mono wav files) and swapped in the new files so that the max file size should only be 1.5GB. I still get the error message above when I try to export the podcast to disk using AAC w/Mono Podcast setting. Your help is appreciated.

I am now the third person in the world to get this error message, except my GB project is a mere 1 hour and 45 minutes long. I've outputted longer projects before and never got this error before. It's a new one to me, and frustrating. How exactly am I supposed to choose a "shorter bounce time" if there is no explanation anywhere in Appleworld of what a bounce time is or how to set it shorter?
Again, I'm not doing anything different with this project than others that shared successfully, and the dialog box estimates my outputted file size to be approx. 100 MB.
Can anybody help me get through this error blockage? Please?

Is there a native app/software that will get my photos all the same size?

I know how to do this with photoshop but I'm not sure if there is any Apple native app/software that will do this for me.
Lets say I have 5 photos of different sizes and I want them all the same size. I know I could reduce them all in preview but that doesn't allow me to move the photo around and cut out stuff I don't want in it. Or I could crop them in Preview but then they are not automatically all the same size.
The way it works in photoshop is: I open up a new project that is the same size I want the photos to be. Let say 900x644. Then I copy one of the photos I want in that size (lets say it somewhat bigger) and when I paste it into that blank new project that is 900x644 I can move the pasted photo around to get it so what I want to fit into that newer smaller size is there.
Is there any way to do this without special software on a regular Mac. I'm trying to help a family member who doesn't really want to buy or learn a complicated graphics program. They have iLife 11 BTW but I don't see a way to do it with iPhoto.
Thanks for any ideas you may have!

Use the Automator app (it's in the app folder) to resize a batch of photos:

I just tried this and it works and is fast.

Photos not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09)

I've copied my iPhoto library to a new computer and even though all pictures are in the library, about half of them are not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09).
• Only 74 events of 219 are visible.
• Picture count on new computer is 2752 and 7709 on old computer in iPhoto
• iPhoto on older machine is v7.1.5 (iLife 08)
• New albums have been created on new machine that must have disappeared during previous iPhoto updates.
• Photo library size is 3 GB larger on new machine
• Running 10.5.8 on older machine and 10.6.1 on new machine
I've played with "Hide Photos" and no change.
Any one has any ideas how to correct this?
Thanx in advance.

Just an update on this...re-copied and I'm having the same issue. Here are some additional testing I did.
• Updated iPhoto to v8 (iLife 09) on the original machine (G5 PM) and no issues.
• Copied updated Library to new machine (iMac 3.06) and still same issue. Its running iPhoto 8.1
• Updated iPhoto to 8.1 on G5 and I'm encountering the same issue as the iMac. Only see 74 events out of some 220 events and 2752 pictures out of 7100 pictures.
Conclusion - iPhoto 8.1 (iLife 09) messes up something in my photo library.
TD - thanx for your quick feedback.
BTW - just got notification that a new iPhoto update, 8.1.1, is available! Going to try it and update the results here.
