Installed snow, where is iphoto?

i can't believe i'm posting this.
i've installed snow leopard, and where is iphoto?
i did a standard installation from the box set. is it part of ilife? if so where is ilife?

The iPhoto Library can only be opened with the application. To access photos for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access.
To bring your library over to the boot drive just copy the iPhoto Library package over to the Pictures folder on the boot drive.
You can try dragging the applications over from your backup Applications folder but I'm not sure it will work. Installing from the disk it came on also installs support files, etc. that are needed. But give it a try anyway since you've stated that the library on the backup opens OK when you double click on it.

Iphoto not working after installing snow leopard

My hardrive crashed while I was living in South America so I got the authorized mac dealership to put in a new one. Once I got back I was able to get all my photos and files from an external hardrive but I realized that my computer software was still 10.5.8. So I put in the Snow Leopard disk that I had bought because I realized that when they put in a new hardrive they didn't install Snow Leopard. After I installed Snow Leopard my iphoto now says "Caution The iPhoto Library folder is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it." How do I fix this? I called Mac and because I bought the computer in 2007 I do not have any applecare so that will cost me $60 and the mac authorized dealership told me to call them or buy the new iLife in hopes that the problem will be fixed.

See if one of the fixes in this topic helps: iPhoto becomes locked volume: Apple Support Communities

Iphoto not working properly after installing snow leopard...

the two main problems are...
1) when editing in full frame, if I zoom in on the photo and try to move around with a two finger scroll, there is a big delay between me moving to where I want to be and the photo actually getting there.
2) when editing with "adjust," there is a delay when changing anything (such as highlights and shadows).
everything was perfect and happened in real time prior to installing snow leopard. when I called apple, I was told it was probably because iphoto is not 64-bit yet (would have been nice to have known that this would be an issue prior to the install). he said that if everything on my computer was added after snow leopard, I would probably be fine.
can anybody give me some advice on what to do here? I wouldn't mind going back to leopard if I can do that without losing everything, but am very open to ideas if anyone here has anything on this.
side note...safari seems to be having issues as well. takes a long time to load pages and sometimes won't be able to open them without closing out and reopening it a time or two. wasn't a problem before either.
thank you,

I am having a similar(?) but perhaps distinct problem. My wife and I have separate user accounts on our MacBook. We were sharing the same photo library under Leopard with no problems whatsoever. Now, after installing SL, there is a strange situation. If I am in my account, and I import images from a camera into iPhoto, I am able to view and edit with no problems. However, when my wife launches iPhoto, she can see the event and the thumbnails in the event, but when she tries to edit the picture or even preview in iPhoto (clicking the space bar), the picture becomes a blank dark screen. If you hit add face while on the blank screen, the program can pick out the faces, but the picture is still blank.
If I try to import photos into the library when she is using her user account, the reverse applies to me. That is, I can only preview and edit pictures added under my account, and not hers.
I never had this problem with Leopard or with iPhoto '09 under Leopard. Any ideas what might be going on? I would think to go the genius bar, but I am not sure what they woudl be able to do about it. Thanks in advance.

I upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

i upgraded to snow leopard but iphoto was not included. How do I install iphoto on snow leopard 10.6.8?

IPhoto is not included in any OS upgrade. It is a seperate application. Unless you choose to erase your drive when you upgrade no application including iPhoto is affected by the upgrade (except potential compatibility issues). If you need to reinstall iPhoto for and reason you do it from the original source. Either
1- the restore disks that came with your computer
Or
2- the iLife DVD upgrade that you purchased
Or
3- the App store

I installed Snow Leopard when it first came out but now my mac says it has os x 10.5.x. Where did snow leopard go?

I installed Snow Leopard when it first came out but now my mac says it has os x 10.5.x. Where did snow leopard go?

Hi, after a little more looking, I think your response might lead me to a solution. It looks like the Snow Leopard install package is on my MacBook Pro hard drive but apparently something isn't right because I'm still running 10.5. I found something called 10.6 Install Package or something like that and clicked on it. It asked me where I wanted to install it and I said on the MacBook Pro hard drive in a new folder called Snow Leopard. It told me the installation was successful. I then restarted the computer but it is still using 10.5. Any suggestions on what to do now?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard disabled iPhoto editing capabilities

Upgraded to Snow Leopard, using iPhoto 8.1 (415).
Problem: Scanned numerous photographs at color 600 dpi on Canon Pixma500, then exported scans to jpeg, then imported into iPhoto
Result: Many will not edit. Here are the symptoms:
(1) Using full screen edit, the screen becomes blank.
(2) If while screen blank, "resize" slide is moved, then small preview screen shows up, with the thumbnail in it, but still major edit screen is blank.
(3) On some photos, if choose "crop" then entire photo will show up, but some will "jump back" to their original size, even after being cropped.
(4) Some images show up in the edit window, but will simply not edit, e.g., no sharpness, saturation or any other change will appear.
(5) For photo that is cropped, and then "jumps back" to its original size, an export file to tiff and re-import of the tiff shows a cropped file.
(6) For some photos, if the crop is a non-standard dimension (custom), then instead of cropping the image, iPhoto actually distorts it! For example if a photo was cropped into a 1 by 7 strip, the image would stretch out into that small strip.
(7) Exporting to tiff and then re-importing to edit does not work for color photos.
(8) same problem occurs for scanned (600 dpi) black and white photos.
(9) Attempts to edit older photos imported from iPhone, which previous before Snow had beed editable, failed, with the same results.
(10) Reading the discussions, there is plenty of information on this. The following do NOT appear to have any effect on the problem: (1) rebuilding the iPhoto library, (2) doing crazy stuff like reinstalling the system, (3) building a new Preferences file, (4) Building a new library, (5) using a back up copy of the photos.
Conclusion: Upgrade to Snow Leopard has temporarily destroyed ability if iPhoto to edit.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is having this issue.
I have iPhoto 09, version 8.1 (415) - after upgrading to Snow Leopard the editing feature if iPhoto appears to be broken.
What happens is when I edit a picture, the whole screen goes black, the tools appear to edit if I move the mouse, I even get the thumbnails across the top, but just a black screen where the picture will be. I will say that it does this 90% of the time. Every once in a while some pictures will open in the editor but if I go to the previous and then back it may or may not show back up.
I have a pretty big library with pictures from multiple cameras. It cannot be isolated to one particular camera. This problem started after I did my Snow Leopard upgrade.
Things I have tried:
-Rebuild the library
-Edit in the main window vice full screen
-remove and re-install iPhoto from disc
-I even started iPhoto holding the option key, created a new library, uploaded just a few images to the new library and experienced the same problem. So this isolates that it does not appear to be a library issue.
Any thoughts? Anyone else having this issue?

Opening Photo Files in Photo Shop CS3 after installing Snow Leopard.

After installing Snow Leopard I could only open photo files in a Preview mode. I called Adobe and Apple and could not get a solution. So I called my local Mac tech person where I got the answer to my problem. What to do: Right click on an image file icon.(Do not open image.) Then go to: Get info. In the dropdown menu, Open with: Select Adobe Photoshop CS3.app or whatever app you desire. Then click change all. You have to do this just one time for each extention such as jpg, tif, etc. Trust this helps.

Hello sean:
I am not an expert in iPhoto, but people who post here are:

To try to address the browser problem, reset Safari and see if that helps. Also, try an alternate browser (I use Firefox that way) to see if the problem is system-wide. Also, there is a Safari forum here:

Where does Iphoto store ratings, arrangement of photos, events, libraries?

Hi, I currently have Leopard, I was planning on doing a clean install with Snow Leopard soon. Afterwards I plan on restoring Iphoto back to the way it was. I have a 70 gb library and importing my photos, rearranging the events, photos, and libraries would take ages if I had to start from scratch. I have my whole computer backed up using Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is where does Iphoto store the ratings, manual arrangement of photos, events, libraries, etc? Thanks

iPhoto is a relational database program and everything is stored in the iPhoto library - it must be treated as a single entity - it is not possible to isolate components in it - simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the clone back to the pictures folder of the main computer
To test prior to doing an erase and install (the Mac does not have a "clean install") you can depress the option key and launch iPhoto and select the backup copy and test it - be sure to do an option launch and paint back to the main library afterwards

Suddenly can't import photos from SDHC card after installing Snow Leopard

After we installed Snow Leopard, we suddenly can't import any photos from our camera when we use an SDHC memory card. Regular SD cards work fine and importing from our SDHC card onto our MacBookPro w/o SnowLeopard works just fine. Anyone have any solutions for this? Tried my card reader, too, and get same problem. Hook up camera/card reader, iPhoto takes a long time to recognize it, and then I get blank photos. I click import and then get an error message about unreadable files. Only happens when using the SDHC card. We're using iPhoto '08 on both Macs.

I vaguely remember other posts regarding the SDHC card. Have you searched for "SDHC" in the forum to see what other users report and they found a solution?

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

My iPhoto was deleted so I re-installed it, since then iPhoto will not say open more than 10-15 seconds. How do I get it to stay open and keep my pictures?

I always recommend backing up the iPhoto Library file under your Pictures folder first.
You can try removing the iPhoto Preference file in your User Library folder. Close iPhoto. If you are using Snow Leopard (10.6) click on Go in the Finder menu bar. Click on Library. If you are now on Lion (10.7), you'll have to hold Option key while clicking Go to see the Library selection. Once here, find the Preferences folder. In here, look for the following:
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Move this file to the desktop. Start iPhoto and see what happens. If it is working, you can delete the file you moved to the desktop. This should not delete any photos, but will reset iPhoto as if it's the first time you are opening it (so your preferences you set may need to be set back).
If this doesn't work, let me know.

Re-installing Snow Leopard

My computer's been giving me a series of problems (repeatedly unsuccessful software updates, irregular/now non-existent iphone sync, issues with VMware, etc) so I now want to re-install Snow Leopard and start fresh. I've been using Time Machine to back up my files and applications on an external hard drive.
If I re-install Snow Leopard from the boot disc and choose to not restore from Time Machine backup (i.e., just install a clean copy of OS X), will I still be able to retrieve my files from time machine onto the newly installed OS? I've already tried the "restore from Time Machine" option (from a backup well before the problems arose) and that didn't resolve the issues I was having so I don't want to just restore and have the same problems come up again. Any thoughts?? thanks!

yes. if you want to bypass either +setup assistant+ or +migration assistant+, that's the way to go.
however, it is not recommendable to migrate applications that way. especially apps that come by way of an installer put files in various locations of your HD. unless you know exactly where those files are, you are better off reinstalling apps the usual way.
in fact, what i would do is this:
once the new OS is installed, i would migrate account(s), network settings, and documents using the setup assistant. then i would reinstall apps manually.
i did this not too long ago when i migrated from my old powerbook G4 to my new mini. since i migrated everything but apps, the pref files for the applications came over and i didn't even have to re-enter serial numbers.
