IPhoto '08 and Leopard

I am using an iMac G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM, 160 GB Hard Drive and recently upgraded to OS 10.5.1 Leopard. I am using iPhoto '08 Version 7.1.1 (354) and currently have just over 3000 photos (8.2 GB) in the library.
When I try to scroll in the photo viewing window when in "Photos" mode in the source list it is extremely slow, erratic and jerky. Also when in this mode even moving the "Zoom in/Zoom out" slider is slow and jerky. I don't check the "Outline" or "Drop Shadow" in the prefs.
On the other hand when I go to "Events" mode in the source list everything seems to be smooth and fairly rapid, certainly by comparison. I am puzzled and very frustrated by this especially since I went to the trouble and expense to upgrade my memory to 1.5 GBs. Is Leopard the culprit or is it my latest version of iPhoto? Or both?

jerrydav:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think it's the amount of memory that's the culprit. 1.5G is plenty. Is iPHoto slow in opening? Do you open into the Photo section with all thumbnails displayed? If so, select show Event names and close all of the events before shutting down iPhoto. Control click on of of the event triangles to open or close all at the same time. Having all the thumbnails open and fairly large can slow iPhoto a bit.
How much free space do you have on your boot drive? Too little can definitely affect performance, not only of iPhoto but the system and other applications. Report back with how much free space you have.

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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

IPhoto 08 and Leopard Firewall not compatible

Since I turned on the Leopard Firewall in the mode where it automatically add applications that need access iPhoto has been asking for permission to accept incoming Internet connections.
Every time it does this I say 'Allow' and enter the Admin password, but it does not seem to take as this comes up every time I start iPhoto.
iPhoto is listed in the Firewall with 'Allow incoming connections', but it still asks every time.
Clearly a bug that needs sorting out.

Ian:
I've set my firewall to the 3rd option, "Set access for specific services and application". iPhoto is not listed in the list, only some applications that I want to block incoming connections for. No problems with that setup.

Iphoto 6 and leopard and words for month's missing

I have found a strange problem in iphoto 6 and I am unable to fix it with a reinstall from the factory disks. For some reason all the month references in iphoto i.e. January, February, etc show up as letters J, F, etc.
Any suggestions?

Compatibility of iPhoto 4 and Leopard

I am still using iPhoto 4 (4.0.3), and have moved to OS 10.5.1. The discussion in a previous thread seemed to suggest that these two are compatible, and in general that seems to be true. But is it official?
I am seeing one strange effect in iPhoto since I upgraded to Leopard. If I select more than one photo and click on "email", I receive a message "Mail got an error: can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id 100043968 (different id every time, always 9 digits). Invalid index." This is a singularly uninformative message to me. And only one of the photos appears in the created email.
Does anybody have any ideas about this? Is it perhaps evidence of an incompatibility of these two softwares, or is something else going on? And is there anything I can do to track down the cause and fix it? Has there been an up-issue to iPhoto 4 beyond 4.0.3 that might help?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks eww.
At least I know where I am. For the number of times I need to do it, for the short term I can convert photos one at a time and then drag them all onto one email.
And yes, I expect to upgrade iLife sometime in the foreseeable future. It's just that it isn't a budget priority just now.
Regards, Paul.

Canon G1 compatible with iPhoto 09 and 08?

I have an older canon camera a G1. It used to be recognized by my mac before I switched to iPhoto 09 and Leopard. Any body have any info on this? Is there a setting I'm doing wrong? iPhoto is set to import when camera is connected, it just does nothing. I'm not new to this, we've imported from this camera 100's of times, it's just since we switched to leopard etc that we noticed things changed.
My kids computer with Leopard and iphoto 08 is also not recognizing the camera.
Is Leopard the problem???
Thanks...

Are you shooting JPEG or RAW?
Canons typically do not show up on the desktop but are seen by iPhoto and by image capture. Some have multiple connect modes - check your camera manual and/or menus (probably while you are connected) to see if you do and try each of them - I think it is mass storage mode that you want but do not have Canon cameras)
Try Image Capture
Consider getting a USB card reader - it have many advantages and will be a lot faster

HELPPP !!! ......... it's about iPhoto 6 and Snow Leopard.

Please help. I have a Macbook 10.4.11 [Tiger] and it will soon be upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am planning on buying the $29 Snow Leopard [cheaper], instead of the $129 box set.
My questions are: 1) Will I still have my iPhoto 6?
2) Can I still use iPhoto 6 with Snow Leopard?
OR
3) Do I *have to buy* the box set?
My partner had iPhoto 9, which had problems and from what I can tell, iPhoto 11 is much better, but it still has a lot of bugs. Thanks!

Thank YOU! That was fast. [wow, my username {funny}--- Puto, *i meant* Pluto]
Should I back-up everything on DVD, wipe my hard drive clean, reinstall Tiger and its iLife disk [which has iPhoto 6] and THEN install Snow Leopard? Does this sounds like a good idea? +Of course install my back-ups after Snow Leopard.+
I heard/read that the above is better for Snow Leopard cause it runs better this way on the older Macbooks.

I want to upgrade to snow leopard from 10.5.8. Im hesitant to proceed because I'm running iPhoto 7 and word 2004. I want to be sure these programs will still run and I won't lose my photos or the events I have ordered them by. Should i make a partition on my new Iomega external and clone it just in case? I'm running time machine and backing up all the time onto an old LaCie, and right now I have a copy of my iPhoto library on new Iomega, which I recopy every couple of weeks. I got the computer new several years ago and it came with iLife and 10.4 OS I think.

Word 2004 is almost 10 years old, you will not be able to upgrade beyond Snow Leopard with it. IMHO you have gotten your money's worth out of the application and need to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, this will work just fine and read your old files just fine too. What will not run beyond SL are all PowerPC (PPC) apps such as Word 2004. You will need to update, upgrade or replace any PPC based apps you want to use. I would recommend taking a little time and check for updates to each of your apps. Then open System Profiler (Applications - Utilities - System Profiler) click the Applications link on the left and then look for any PPC based apps, those are the ones that will not run. You can upgrade to SL just fine with the apps you currently have however if you want to go beyond SL (it's already 2 generations behind) you will need to update or upgrade your apps. You can take your time doing it but eventually you're going to have to begin

Iphoto 2.0 and leopard

If I load leopard on my powerbook which is running 10.4.10, is it going to let me keep iPhoto 2.0?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, as long as you do either a straight Update or Archive and Install. I don't know how compatible iPhoto 2 will be. It should work in it's basic way. You should ask that question in the iPhoto 4 and earlier forum. Someone there with iPhoto 2 may have installed Leopard and can answer your question from first hand experience.
Do you Twango?

IPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie don't work with Leopard

Hi, I just installed Leopard onto my machine and iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie no longer work properly. For all three I get the error message "(This program) has unexpectedly quit." Can you help?

my husband was having the same problem and it even bled into his sys prefs. the problems actually started after he ran software update last night (things were working find before that, and he's running leopard btw)
he archived and reinstalled (he unchecked the "preserve users and settings box") and we're about to find out if that solved it.
to summarize, you may need to reinstall if software update doesn't fix it. not sure what caused this problem. perhaps some corruption of files?

Iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard - problems

With iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard, I now have a complete mess. Most of my photos and events are totally mixed up, out of any recognizable order.

Make sure iPhoto is fully up to date (version 9.1.3), Load your iPhoto library backup and convert your library again
Or provide a lot more information than "my library is a mess" - maybe there is some assistance that someone can give you if they know more

Don't change 1st slide of a show created in iPhoto '08 and converted to '09

I discovered that a slideshow that was created in iPhoto '08 and then converted to '09 (i.e., the whole library file was converted) can cause iPhoto to freeze if you change the 1st photo in the show, e.g., by moving another photo into the 1st position (iPhoto doesn't crash -- it just fails to respond to all mouse interactions, and you can't even kill iPhoto via Apple-CMD-Q).
So -- warning if you have '08 slide shows converted to '09 -- don't try this!!!
I have submitted a bug report to Apple's iPhoto support, but my guess is that the bug is due to such a weird combination of circumstances that they won't place high priority on fixing it. In case you're interested in further details, here's the description I wrote in my bug report:
========
I recently bought a new iMac with Leopard and iLife '09. I copied several iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5 -- I believe that's the latest version available for OS X 10.4) library files from an old PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11. When I opened them in iPhoto '09 iPhoto asked me to convert them to the new version and I did so. I can view, edit, run slideshows, etc. of all my updated iPhoto '08 library files fine in iPhoto '09 -- except for one very annoying bug!
When working in iPhoto '09 with a slideshow that was created in iPhoto '08 and converted to '09:
When I move a slide in the slideshow browser to the 1st position of the slideshow and then either Play the slideshow or try to select other photos in the slideshow browser that causes iPhoto to freeze (not crash, there is no Crash Log file). iPhoto stops responding to mouse clicks, there's no way to unhide the Dock with the mouse, and I can't even kill iPhoto with the Apple-CMD-Q keystroke (to terminate iPhoto I use Apple-CMD-TAB to switch to a Terminal shell, find the process id, and then use the shell's "kill -9 pid" command). When this happens I find that after moving a slide to the 1st position in the browser the 1st position in the browser shows a blank instead of the photo that was moved there. When I click on other photos (other than the 1st one) the image gets refreshed with the wrong photo (the one next to it instead of the correct one). However, I have been able to change the 1st slide by deleting it.
It seems that this error only occurs when moving or changing the 1st slide. Making changes to the other slides in the slideshow doesn't cause any problems.
This error also happens when I make a duplicate in iPhoto '09 of a slide show that was originally created in iPhoto '08 and then converted to iPhoto '09 and try to change its 1st slide.
When working with slideshows created in iPhoto '09 none of these problems never occur.

I have been having this same problem even with slideshows created in iPhoto '09. I also reported it to Apple Support. I found a work-around in the meantime, and it might work for you as well.
First of all I discovered the problem when I moved the last thumbnail into the first position. What eventually worked was moving that thumbnail into the second position, and then moving the first thumbnail into the second position. For some reason this did not cause a freeze, and the slideshow played.
As for iPhoto not responding to mouse clicks, I had the same experience. I placed my cursor on the desktop and clicked on it. This enabled me to access the drop down menu from the Apple icon and then I was able to use the force quit option.
I hope this information is helpful.

Creating a "Favorites" Event in iPhoto '08 and transferring to my iTouch

I really like the EVENTS organization in iPhoto '08, but would like to create an event that just has photos I really like -- to be able to show my family and key events in one event to friends via my iTouch!
OK so what I've done so far is to go to each event (about 48 with total 7000 photos, 27 gb or so) and duplicate that phote (cmd-D) then take the duplicated photo and drag it to a new event entiteled "Favorites". To do this I have to right-click the event and say "open in a separate window" then find the photo I duplicated and drag it to the new event FAVORITES. (I could drag the original, but then it would no longer be in the event of origin).
Is there another way? Would creating a new ALBUM be a way?
Thanks for any comments,
Steve Schulte
Saturday 31 May 2008

Steve:
I second Larry's choice of using an album. You can create a smart album which the criteria that Rating is 5 stars. Then any photo you give a 5 start rating will automatically show up in that album. No duplicating files, no moving files, etc. Really simple.

It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I have BOTH Tiger and Leopard installed in my new iMac now .... and ...

Yesterday I decided to take the risk - I formated my iMac's HD, made three partitions - one for Tiger, one for Leopard and another for the CS3 usage. I installed Tiger without the 1.1 upgrade but installed ALL upgrades including 1.1 and 1.3 in Leopard.
All day today I tried different apps under Leopard including iTunes, iPhoto, Photoshop and illustrator CS3. So far so good ... haven't got any serious problem, such as sys freeze or crush, yet.
It was actually a wonderful delight to know that I could easily access all my files from each OS without reboot.
I love Leopard but was a bit disappointed to find out it's not as fast and stable as Tiger. I see the rainbow ball spinning quite often in Leopard (rarely see it in tiger.) The internet connection drop very often while working perfectly in Tiger. The most annoying thing is: my 5 month old Canon printer does not work under Leopard. Whenever I need to print anything I have to reboot and login to Tiger.
Another very strange problem which occurred in Leopard really puzzled me.
I was going to install the diver for my printer in Leopard this morning. Before I did it, I went to Disc Utility to verify and repair permissions. I read a article somewhere here that says one should do this verify and repair permission task every time BEFORE and AFTER install or upgrade anything. Although I never actually understand the concept of repairing permissions and why it's necessary to do it all the time ( can anyone kind enough to make it a bit easier to understand? ... IF the system can check and repair the error itself, why can't it do it automatically without us order the task EVRY TIME we install or upgrade anything?) , I followed the advice anyway.
The whole process of 'verify and repair permission' took about 20 minutes. During the process it concerned me why it took so long since my Leopard is 'fresh' - newly installed in a formated partition without any 3rd party app installed. When the result came out I found myself saying ' OH MY G**!!!' ....
Have a look:
*There were more than 100 repaired items!!! why?* (What you see above is only part of it)
I don't understand what ACL is and why this has happened ... Can anyone kind enough to help me understand it?)
Thanks a lot!!

Lack of Ram and Leopard= tragic

I just got the new Leopard as an early xmas-present along with a 500GB external hard-drive and the new slim keyboard.
I currently have a iMac OS X version 10.3.9, PowerPC G4, 1.25 GHz, 256 MB, and Bus Speed: 167 MHz.
I attempted to install Leopard and when my computer restarted it wouldn't go beyond the infamous blue screen with the beach ball spinning!! I contacted tech support and they helped me get back to the original screen and suggested that I need more Ram, which makes ALOT of sense!
So here it goes I've been fishing around forums and comparing answers. I'm unsure about what to get either a 512MB or a 1GB. I've recently graduated in Graphic Design... so I basically use my Apple for everything! I love it! I use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash, Word, Firefox, iTunes, iPhotos, iChat and the list can go on. Please if anyone has any suggestions about which size Ram I should go for, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
P.S I am also thinking about installing it myself, so far it looks pretty easy... (after seeing the many diagrams in the forums)

Hello Greenjuju and welcome to discussions,
Have a look in this, excellent, post by Mr Totes....

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
