Iphoto 08 and book slideshow

I have ordered a book and it arrived and looks good but I can no longer view the book in iPhoto; some pages have only half text, others have only one of three pictures. I have tried trashed the prefs but to no avail. Any ideas?

Yes - the solution is to find the page with the missing photo - usually it is a full page photo background page (the gray palm tree background - oftenhidden behind a full page photo - Click here for my discussion on finding the problem

    Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

    I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.

  • Iphoto and adding slideshow pictures...

    Hey everybody,
    So I have a slideshow together and it is perfect pretty much the only thing is that I need to add another piture and when I try to add it I drag it to my hard disk and then into my slideshow and it always turns up double. Then when I go to delete one picture the other one is automatically deleted along with it. What am I doing wrong?! Thanks so much in advance.

    Is this slideshow made in iPhoto? If so, why are you dragging the pic to your HD. Just drag it from the iPhoto Library (Top left, in the Source Pane) to the the Slideshow icon, also in the left hand pane.

  • Why don't my albums and book in iPhoto 5 appear in the iPhoto 6 library?

    I deliberately upgraded to OX10.4.9 so that I could get iLife 6 with iPhoto 6. Everything seemed fine until I realized that the albums and book I made in iPhoto 5 (but the book was not yet published) were no longer there. I can't find it anywhere in the libraries for my current iPhoto 6, and Spotlight can't find it on the computer. I do have the original photos in the Originals list, but in order to make the book I had to sort and weed out the pictures. Then I made custom captions for the book's pages. I was hoping to publish the book using the upgraded iPhoto6. Now it looks as if I will have to go through the whole process again.
    Maybe there is hope because I did a back-up of my whole system on an external hard drive before I loaded in Tiger and the new iLife. But I don't know how to get the photo book out of there and export it to the iPhoto6 library.
    What is the best way to get the book back----or is it possible at all?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you let iPhoto 6 do the conversion of the iPhoto 5 library? Do you still have a copy of the iPhoto 5 library. If so try the following;
    1 - move the current V6 library folder to the desktop.
    2 - copy the V5 library into your Pictures folder.
    3 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    4 - make sure you've updated iPhoto to 6.0.6. To do that you'll need to apply the updaters in the following order:
    a. run the 6.0.4 updater
    b. download and run the 6.0.5 updater (will only run on 6.0.4)
    c. download and run the 6.0.6 updater (will only run on 6.0.5)
    d. run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
    That should give you a converted library with the book and albums intact.
    The book and albums would be virtual entities and you wouldn't find them in Spotlight. But if they didn't get converted you'll have to recreate them from scratch.
    Hint: I use iPhoto Library Manager and create a separate iPhoto library for books. I put the photos I want in the book in an album and then copy that album to the book library with iPLM. If I need more photos I copy them in a new album as the book progresses. Once the book is done and ordered I copy the book library folder intact to a CD. Then at a time in the future if I want to order another book just like it, I can. I just copy that library folder to the desktop, open it with iPhoto and order. It preserves the original book as ordered.
    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.

    You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
    1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
    2  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page  " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title.  This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
    Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
    Happy New Year

  • How to get Iphoto out of slideshow view and into edit, by default

    Iphoto recently began showing all my albums in slideshow view rather than its customary edit view. I can switch to edit by clicking on the edit icon or just clicking a photo but I want to view and work in edit mode. It just won't show me any albums/folders in edit mode. I posted this once but it has vanished. Any help out there?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into iPhoto's Preferences and under the Events section set the Double-click Event: menu to Magnify. See if that's what you want.
    The edit mode is only entered when you double click on a photo's thumbnail.

  • How to change the Apple ID for iPhotos and iMovies(The first ID used in the mac book)?

    I found that every time when I want to update the iphotos and imovies and the native apps in the mac book it is needed to use the first apple id that used for the first time you turn on the mac book.
    Since that id is not used now and i want to change it, any body knows how to change it?
    And although my current admin id has changed, but still when updating iphotos the very first id is needed...

    Correct.  Apps are Tied to the Apple ID that Purchased them...
    From Here   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • I was just forced to "upgrade" iphoto, and most of my slideshows are gone.  What is going on?  I'm desperate here.

    I was just forced to "upgrade" iphoto, and most of my slideshows are gone.  What is going on?  I'm desperate here.

    Thanks for the reply.
    It wouldn't open unless I clicked "upgrade."  The other option was "cancel." The Genius at the Apple Store said I had no choice.  The new stuff looks idfferent but maybe it's just taking a while to go through all my photos.  I can't tell what is going on exactly, but I'm nervous to see the last slideshow there is 2010. 
    We are backed up on Carbonite, but the hoops to go through getting specific items back seems daunting to me.

  • IPhoto 6 Book publishing and photo rotation problem

    I've had issues making a Book where photos in the Library that have been selected for the Book have been rotated. I find that these photos seem to have a mind of theor own. When they are selected and dragged onto a book page they initially are orientated as they were originally (ie upside down for example) and then within a moment orientate themselves correctly. In fact I've had some that simply aren't oriented correctly at all and all I can do is to go back to Library and rotate them sideways to get then rihtside up in the book. I know if I double-click the photo on the book page I can manipulate the photo the way I want but it all makes me nervous send the book off for publication as I don't want to have to re-make the book later if it were to be returned to me with phots upside down etc.
    Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so what is your suggestion or how did you resolve the issue. If you have seen this and published your book did it turn out as you expected with photos rightside up ?
    Thanks in advance for any feedback on this issue.

    Barry:
    Does your camera have an auto rotate option on it? If so I would turn it off and do the rotation manually after it gets into iPhoto. It has to do with handling the rotate information that the camera puts in the file to let applications view it in the correct orientation without having to acutally rotate the image file. You might try exporting a rotated file to the desktop and view it in Preview. If it is correctly orientated import back into iPhoto and see if that file behaves properly. It's not a pretty workaround but may get you thru your book.

    I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

    When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually.  Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
    Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

    I deleted my Iphoto and need to get it back! I bought this mac book off my sister and have none of the install disks. If there a download or something that I can get to reinstall it?

    Depending on the age of your machine and the version of iPhoto, you may be able to download it from the App Store - but you'll need her account details to do so.
    Other than that you'll need to purchase it on the App Store.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
