IPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences

I just realised that most of my iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences... How can I make them visible again?

Bruce Etnyre has a more permanent fix over on the Using 10.5 forum:
You might try this. Go to the:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder
(where “yourusername” is the short name of your computer, like baumgarten - the folder looks like a house/home)
and move these files to the Trash:
com.apple.screensaver.XXXXX.plist
com.apple.screensaver.slideshow.XXXXX.plist
and this one, if you have it:
com.apple.iphotomosaic.XXXXX.plist
The XXXXX before the .plist is a hexadecimal string.

Can I create an album of select photos to stream was screen saver when listening to my iTunes library on my apple tv

I have a new apple tv that I am listening to my iTunes library. I have approx 800 photos in my iPhoto library. The screen saver chooses the same small number of photos and keeps on playing them over and over again. Can I expand the number of photos that are displayed? Can I create an album of photos to display?

The screen saver uses the photo stream so if you can create a new stream and place the images you want the screen saver to show and then select that stream it shoudl do want you want.

How can I use my Events album for the Screen saver?

I would like to use the "Events" album from my iPhoto 09 for my Screen Saver pictures source, but can't seem to find a way to do this. I tried to create a new folder in the Screen Saver preferences, but couldn't find a way to get to the Events album.
If anyone has a tip I would appreciate the help. I'm using Snow Leopard on a 27" iMac. Thanks much!

Try System Preferences - Desktop & Screensaver - Click the + sign at the bottom of the box on the left (see the picture) then choose where the photos are stored and you should be good to go.

'Send to iDVD" from iPhoto problems - photos don't show up properly

Hi
When I send photos/albums from iPhoto to iDVD using the function: Share->Send to iDVD' iDVD opens up, but the screen is blank in iDVD, the project info shows the photos are there, but there is nothing playing - just the blank screen.
When I do the same action on our Tiger iMac it works as advertised, not so on our Leopard iMac.
All software is up to date - iDVD 08, iPhoto 7.1.4
Any thoughts anyone? Thanks

Thank you. It doesn't actually "fail" in that it crashes or comes up with any error messages etc. It just doesn't show anything in the screen. I have pasted the Console entries that came up when I sent album to iDVD - can't see much evidence in there but you might?

Screen Saver Preference Does Not Include iPhoto Albums

In addition to the second monitor problem discussed in other postings, I have also lost the ability to select iPhoto albums for my screen saver. The last entry in the Screen Saver list (in Preferences) is Aperture - not iPhoto albums. I am still using iPhoto 08 (v7.5.1). Any assistance is appreciated.

You could try moving the two com.apple.screensaverXXXXX.plist files from the Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder to the desktop. You might as well move the com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist while you’re at it. Those files each will have a long string of randomly generated hexidecimal characters in the name before the .plist extension. The Screen Saver will generate new .plist files when you go to the Desktop & Screen Saver pane in System Preferences. I don’t think you need to restart after moving the files, but it couldn’t hurt.
Otherwise, you should continue working with Terence Devlin in the iPhoto forum. He is a genius with iPhoto related issues and has helped solve such problems for me previously.

HT5260 iPhoto Browser option is not showing up in the import menu.

Hi,
The iPhoto Browser option is not showing up in the drop down import menu in my Aperture 3.4.3. What gives? I want to do some targeted photo imports from my iPhoto 9.4.2.

That went away when the two apps started using the same Library. There's no need to import photos from one to the other, just open the Library in the other app.

I have over 60,000 photos in my iPhoto. When my screen saver comes on it randomly shows certain photos. Often, these photos are old and I in turn find the desire to print said photo. Is there a way the screen saver can convey a photo file name as well?

I have over 20,000 photos in my iPhoto. When my screen saver comes on it randomly shows certain photos. Often, these photos are old and I in turn find the desire to print said photo. Is there a way the screen saver can convey a photo file name or location as well? Can I create a slideshow of all my photos to cycle through at leisure with photo info? Lastly, I know I have duplicates and have tried numerous software programs to delete duplicates to no avail. What do you recommend as a method to reduce duplicates on iphoto? Thanks for your time.

1. No.
2. Yes.
3. Some apps for dealing with duplicates in iPhoto
iPhoto Library Manager
Duplicate Annihilator
Decliner
iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner

Templates don't show up in the Assets Templates panel !?

I made some templates but a few don't show up in the Assets > Templates panel.
I opened all the .dwt files in Dreamweaver (within the Templates folder), then closed and restarted Dreamweaver. That should “force” Dreamweaver to recognize the templates so that they show up in the Assets panel, but DW didn't.
I also deleted the DW cache.
What could I do wrong ?

That won't work either !
I made a new page from that tmpl and saved it. Closed DW ... opened it ... but nothing.
Also deleted the cachefile while DW was closed.
Strange !?

Why is it that some missed calls don't show up in the missed calls list?

Why is it that some missed calls don't show up in the Missed Calls list?

Missed calls can only appear in your missed call list if your phone knows about them. In other words, if the phone rang, but you did not answer.
If a call was missed because your phone was turned off or not in a strong enough service area to receive the call, then it will not show up on your phone.

I opened iPhoto today and found I had NO PHOTOS in the library. After a day of reading, I seem to have found them. However, panic does not begin to describe my emotions. They continued to come up on the screen saver, so I knew they were in the computer

I opened iPhoto today and found I had NO PHOTOS in the library. After a day of reading, I seem to have found them. However, panic does not begin to describe my emotions. They continued to come up on the screen saver, so I knew they were in the computer somewhere. What I don't understand is what happened?? I am now busy backing them up into my external hard drive, again, but just now including the ones from about August 2011 to now. I don't back up often enough, but thank gosh I haven't lost them all. My question is this: What is the best way to get them back into iPhoto? I have an old version of iPhoto and I was prompted to update to '08, which I thought I had and BOOM - all the photos were gone when I said "no". I have lost all my albums and wonder what it will look like if I put them back in? They were found in the iPhoto Data folder. I looked it up in iPhoto Help.

They were found in the iPhoto Data folder.
These are not your Photos. They are just the thumbnails that show in the iPhoto Window. They are tiny and not useful for anything. Look for your photos in the Originals Folder.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'. Are any Libraries listed?

I have found a fix after doing additional research through this forum. Tech Note #328730 addresses this problem and it works for Photoshop Album 3.2 even though it was written for release 1.0.
Here is a link that will take you directly to the Tech Note:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328730
When using this fix the Tech Note indicates:
"Imported image data and tags are lost when you re-create the My Catalog.psa file, so you need to reimport images and reapply any tags"
however it did retain the captions (at least it did for me).

Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user? My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in. I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver. I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his. How? Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos. Thank you. Melody

In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

IPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences
