Iphoto 08 and photo collage

I have been reading on the net and did a google search and I understand that in the previous version of Iphoto (that predates Iphoto 08) you were able to make a photo collage under print&layouts?? Can you no longer do this in Iphoto 08? if not why? Is there a template add-on or something to do this? I think it would be pretty Stupid for apple to not include this feature in 08 any help would be great

Other applications that can create mosiacs or collages are:
MacOSaiX, MozoDojo, PhotoTiles, Posterino and OmniGraffle. I created this 20" x 30" 96 photo collage with OG.
Earlier there was an thumbnail poster plugin of sorts for iPhoto in Tiger by Jim Heid but I don't think that's available any more. However there's an Automator version of that, a 20 x 30" poster that's available from here at AutomatorWorld. It's a free Automator workflow.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011). Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all. I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere. Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

IPhoto and photos wanished from MacBook Pro with OSX10.9

iPhoto and photos wanished from MacBook Pro. Apple just offer to buy iPhoto.
The laptop was baught in 2010 with OS X ~10.6. Now it has OS X 10.9. I do not know how to recover the application and files.
Thanks for your help

If iPhoto came pre installed then go to the App Storel, sign in with the Apple ID you used to purchase the MBP or register it. Go to the Purchases section and you should be able to download it again at no charge.

IPhotos and Photos both in Applications MacBook Pro 2009 13" But I cannot see Photos in iMovie

iPhotos and Photos both in Applications MacBook Pro 2009 13". I can see just iPhotos but I cannot see Photos in iMovie. Any advices for this issue? Thank you

IPhoto and Photos libraries

I have migrated from iPhoto to Photos in the last Os update on my MBP. Now I have 2 Libraries in my Pictures folder, iPhoto and Photos libraries. The libraries are huge and take a lot of SSD storage. Is it safe to delete the iPhoto library? Is it wise?
Thanks

Keep the iPhoto library around for a couple of weeks until you're entirely satisfied that Photos will do the job for you. Photos is missing many of iPhotos features which might make it a no go for you.
If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you'll be able to open your iPhoto library and use it with 10.10.3.You can get it from the App Store if necessary.

Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

Iphoto and Photo libraries

After converting my Iphoto library to Photos, I found I had two identically named libraries. Both the same size. (~160GB)
One would open Photos
and one would open Iphotos. However, when deleting some photos form "Photos", the library name and size has not changed.
(Nor has the Photos library size, now in a different folder)
My question is "Is it common for Photos to take the same name library" and "When does
the library show a change for date/size via Finder?"
I am trying to ensure I am backing the new library up via DropBox.
ICloud will come later when i learn it better.
thx.
IMAC with 16GB memory.

There are two libraries: iPhoto Library and Photos Library. They don't have the same name. Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support.
Photos creates an iPhoto Library.migrated to identify the modified library. This library can be used in iPhoto or Photos.

Import to iPhoto and photos get deleted instead of stored

I import my photos to iPhoto, they appear that they are downloaded. I close iPhoto and reopen and they are deleted while event remains only it is empty.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

IPhoto and photos app becoming non responsive/ slow and crashing...

Ok so I need some help!
I've been importing my photos onto my iPad with a camera connection kit. Everything has been fine for a while, I've been able to edit , do effects, export, navigate between windows and sections within the app.
Now for so,e reason the app has become INCREDIBLEY slow and at some times unresponsive. Every time you go to touch or edit a photo after about two minutes of using the app, it freezes and I won't be able to do anything. Then all of a sudden it will work then it will stop and become unresponsive again.
Also my camera connection kit on the import using the photos application has become slow as well. The app used to fly through the import of 100+ photos giving green ticks within a second at a time.
Now it's around 20 to 30 seconds per photo to import it onto the iPad.
I have 5gb left on the iPad on a 64gb iPad.
I've tried a hard restart of the whole iPad as well. I've also tried closing the app and re opening it from scratch.
In my entire photos library I have 705 photos - average size of photos are around 3.3mb each
The iPhoto app it's self is now running at 2.2 gb in total
I really don't want to delete iPhoto app and reinstall as I'll loose all my edits that I've done. However in saying that it seems to be the photo app that's the problem as well due to the connection kit speed issue . All other apps work fine and the rest of the iPad works as usual . So it's just photo and iphoto that is having problems.
Has anyone got any idea on how to fix this???? I'm away on a trip and am wanting to use my iPad to offload and edit photos ASAP :(
Any advice or comments would be great let appreciated!
Thanks
James

Disk Utility does not work on user files. Only on system and applications. Give the following a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Iphoto and photo elements

i recently loaded iphoto6. i also use photoelements to edit many of my pictures . My problem is (that i did not have with iphoto5) i can not find all of my iphoto albums in the Browse feature. The folks at the Apple Store added a new library and transfered my photos from iphoto 5 to iphoto6. Now i can not find all of my albums. It has always been a major task to find pictures in photoelements ,but now it is more difficult. Please help.

ronnie40:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In iPhoto 6 album are not virtual album and are accessable only by those applications that can read iPhoto's data files.
However, if you want to use PSE with iPhoto 6 the go into iPhoto's preferences and in the General section select PSE in the "Edit photos with" menu.
Now when you double click on a thumbnail in iPhoto, that photo will be opened in PSE for editing. The only caveat is that if you create a layered file or otherwise do some editing that requires a .psd extension change, you must either flatten the file and save a jpg with the same file name in the same location OR do a Save As to the desktop and then import that file as a new file. Once the psd file is imported into iPhoto, you can open, edit and save as you normally would. Bottom line: there is no need to have to peruse within the iPhoto library with PSE's browser to find and edit files with PSE.

Effectcts in iPhoto and Photo Booth, MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro. I'm working on iPhoto and or Photo Booth.
I want to add an effect to a .jpg file.
I clic on "effects" and all I get is squares with
mostly color effects. Are there any more effects?
I thought there were some funky ones someplace.
thank you

Neither iPhoto or Photo Booth has very many useable special effects. You're much better off downloading something like Graphic Converter ( http://www.lemkesoft.com/xd/public/content/index.cGlkPTE5Mw.html ) as far as I know, it's free to download and alomst free to keep. You can do a whole lot more special effects with this program.
It's your best and cheapest bet...
Good luck, Rick

Iphoto and photos library

I have updated to OS X 10.10.3 and moved onto photos from iPhotos....but in checking my hard disk, now I have iPhoto library and Photos library.
Should I keep both on my drive?
Why did Mac not automatically delete iPhotos library after successfully upgraded to Photos?
Is there any issue if I delete the iPhotos library?
Thanks

Because that is not how it works - and although it looks like two libraries there is only one set of photos - with hard links so they both look like they are the same size
There is no issue if you delete the iPhoto library except you save very little space and make going back to iphoto impossible in case you would want to

New iPad 2 (gen 3) blank thumbnails in iPhoto and Photos

I have a new iPad 2 (2012 / generation 3) and it is very nice :-)
It also displays photos very well. However, I find that I have a problem with some of the photos that I have imported via iTunes ( Sync Photos from myfolder ). Although all of the photos display correctly (full size) in both the iPhoto and in Photos apps, some of the thumbnails are blank in both apps.
The same folder of photos synced to my iPhone 4 does not exhibit the same problems.
Some of the photos were taken by a Canon EOS 1000D, but others were taken by an iPhone 3S and an iPhone 4.
My iTunes (10.6.0.40 ) runs on Windows
Anyone have any ideas about what is happening here?
Thanks

There is an iPhoto for iOS section on these forums. Your question has been asked there as well. I'm also experiencing one of my photos showing the correct thumbnail in Photos but a blank thumbnail in iPhoto for iOS. So far I haven't read about any fix yet.
You might consider leaving feedback for Apple here

Okay so I have a Seagate Backup Plus Drive External Hard Drive and I'm trying to get it to backup Applications and stuff on the dock such as iPhoto, and Photo Booth.

It's one of these External Hard Drives. I go to the Finder folder and go to the "Seagate Backup Plus Drive" to see what's in there and what I assume is that backups but the only thing that seems to be in there is folders from everything that is Desktop and a few Documents. The Applications folder seems to be empty and there are no folders for Photo Booth or iPhoto. Everything from GarageBand and iTunes seems to have been backed up according to the Seagate Backup folder when it is plugged in and opened. How do I get this thing to backup everything from Photo Booth and iPhoto? And by the way, I can't seem to access Time Machine the way you get it to where you can go back in time and see all of your stuff from previous dates. I don't know if this is important or a crucial part but I seem to not be able to access the actual time Machine Layout.

Simple on that one - Download Carbon Copy and follow the steps below:
if you have access to an external USB enclosure use it, or you can buy one for $10...
install your new ssd in the usb enclosure - connect to your macbook...
open disk utility and format/erase your ssd - mac os extended journaled.
open carbon copy - clone your drive with it - source (your old drive) + destination (your ssd).
once the clone is done, turn your macbook off - take old hard drive out - install new ssd in....
turn your macbook on - if boot time is more than 40 secs to desktop - go to system preferences - startup disk and select your new ssd as the startup disk - restart your macbook - should be about 14 sec boot time now.
install your old hard drive in your usb external enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
good luck
