Iphoto 09 and flickr: disconnect old albums?

Hi,
I've been using iPhoto'09 to upload photos to Flickr, and it's been wonderful. I love the 2-way syncing for all my location information, tags, titles, etc.
However, once all my information is published to Flickr and updated in iPhoto, I'd like to disconnect the syncing function. I don't want to accidentally mess up an old photoset on Flickr by removing or editing photos in iPhoto.
I don't want to turn off the syncing function altogether, because I'd like to use it for new sets. But I am hoping to find a way to disconnect my older, established sets.
Thanks for your help!

Hi LN,
Thanks for your response. I changed the settings to manual and then tried to delete a photoset from iPhoto ... but it was immediately deleted from Flickr, too, so the two are still connected. (It was easy enough to put back, but I think all my links and comments and favorites, etc., are gone now. I should have experimented with one photo instead of one photoset!)
Does anyone know whether there's a way to disconnect from the Flickr site, then delete the photosets in iPhoto without losing them in Flickr? And then I'd like to reconnect Flickr to build new sets.

  • New version of iPhoto - trying to import old albums back in

    I recently re-formatted my HD. My iPhoto library has always been on an external drive, so I assumed I'd just reload iPhoto and import the old albums back on from that drive. The later version of iPhoto that I now have is 5.0.4, and asked it to "Add to Library" via the File menu. (I chose the whole folder in the iPhoto folder). After processing that request overnight, all it did was give me an error message that a load of albums were not recognizable, but import all the individual photos from my old albums into one large mix of 4,000 photos, organized only by year. (In other words, all the album labels are gone.)
    Is there a better way to import these photos back into iPhoto and retaining the album label data?

    HI robert,
    If you still want to have the iPhoto Library on the external:
    Close iPhoto
    Drag the iPhoto Library folder in the Pictures folder to the desktop...you can delete this library if you wish.
    Hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto. Keep it held down until you get a message screen asking you to "create" a new library or "choose" another library to open. Hit the "choose" button.
    Navigate to the external drive and select the iPhoto Library there.
    Hit the "open" button.
    Since your library on the external is an older version, iPhoto will tell you it needs to update the library.
    It will take some time, so let iPhoto update your library. Once it is done, everything should be back the way it was.

    What is your iPhoto version? I can ask this thread to be moved to the appropriate iPhoto forum where you might get more replies.

  • IPhoto and Flickr - disappearing photos and involuntary syncing

    After control-clicking on Check Now in one of my Flickr albums, within iPhoto of course, all of the pictures in the album disappeared, leaving only the name of the album in the list of Flickr albums in iPhoto.
    The set made from that album is still present on the Flickr website (so far), even after navigating away from the page and coming back. I have no idea what is going on.
    I assumed that Check Now would sync any changes I made to photos in that Flickr set back to the same photos on iPhoto.
    I am worried that Flickr is now going to delete all of those photos entirely from iPhoto (as well as from the Flickr site). That would be a big problem. It hasn't done that so far, but who knows? I understand that the syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is two way - i.e. true syncing.
    When your changes in Flickr sync back to iPhoto, does Flickr change your original in iPhoto (or whatever is serving as your original for Flickr's purposes - that is, the most recently modified version in iPhoto), or is there a separate version created just for uploading to Flickr, that is stored in the Flickr album on iPhoto, and that is the only version that is changed by Flickr when it is syncing back (to iPhoto)? I hope it is the latter. If not, many of us may be in for a surprise.
    Should I delete the empty Flickr album from iPhoto, which should have the effect of deleting that set and its photos from the Flickr website, and start all over? This was a big, long upload, which is why I am hesitating.
    I just started using Flickr yesterday and have had some trouble with it - for example, I've deleted albums/sets and re-uploaded them, for various reasons. Perhaps I've confused the poor thing.
    I have Flickr Pro, if that makes a difference.
    Confused.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The Flickr tool in iPhoto is both pretty neat and pretty frustrating. While I think it is a good start, it still needs work. I probably can not answer most of your questions, but I can clarify a few and offer my own experiences...
    The set made from that album is still present on the Flickr website (so far), even after navigating away from the page and coming back. I have no idea what is going on.
    That is weird. So the Flickr set in iPhoto cleared itself but the actual set on Flickr is still intact, right? Have you tried restarting your computer, going to disk utility and repairing disk permissions on your start up drive, then restarting iPhoto?
    If that doesn't clear it up, you might try rebuilding the iPhoto library by closing iPhoto then restarting while holding down the Option key. Then try some of the rebuild options and see where that gets you.
    I assumed that Check Now would sync any changes I made to photos in that Flickr set back to the same photos on iPhoto.
    The syncing is two ways, but the Flickr sync back to iPhoto is more limited. For example, if you add keywords in Flickr those keywords will be synced back to iPhoto. However if you add a photo from your flickr account into that album, Flickr will send a small version thumbnail back to iPhoto, not the original photo.
    But yes, to answer your question, all syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is more or less a two way sync.
    I am worried that Flickr is now going to delete all of those photos entirely from iPhoto (as well as from the Flickr site). That would be a big problem. It hasn't done that so far, but who knows? I understand that the syncing between iPhoto and Flickr is two way - i.e. true syncing.
    First off, Flickr can never remove anything from your iPhoto library. Perhaps a photo might be removed from a flickr album in your iPhoto, but the photo will still exist in your library. So you can not lose anything from your library using Flickr.
    Second, if the Flickr album in your iPhoto is empty but the photos are still in the album in Flickr, then they will not be removed later. The sync tends to be a real time event where if you remove photos from an iPhoto Flickr album, iPhoto then begins to remove them from Flickr as well.
    My own experience is that sometimes things happen like you experienced, where the iPhoto Flickr album gets "disconnected" from the on-line Flickr album. At this point there is no longer a connection and one doesn't effect the other. I have not found a way to relink the two which is one of the weak points of the new iPhoto Flickr syncing.
    As a side note, a nice feature would be a menu item to actually do that, disconnect iPhoto from an on-line album, as it would be nice to be able to upload an album, then disconnect it so no further changes are made to Flickr regardless of what happens to the iPhoto album. Basically a "do not update" setting.
    When your changes in Flickr sync back to iPhoto, does Flickr change your original in iPhoto (or whatever is serving as your original for Flickr's purposes - that is, the most recently modified version in iPhoto), or is there a separate version created just for uploading to Flickr, that is stored in the Flickr album on iPhoto, and that is the only version that is changed by Flickr when it is syncing back (to iPhoto)? I hope it is the latter. If not, many of us may be in for a surprise.
    To the best of my knowledge, Flickr does not sync back actual changes to the photo itself. It will sync back things like album name changes, title changes, keyword additions, and stuff like that. However I have never actually tried publishing an album to Flick then editing a photo in that album in Flickr to see what it does. I should try that to see. Generally, if I have used iPhoto to publish photos to Flickr, then I use iPhoto to make any edits to the photo, not Flickr.
    Should I delete the empty Flickr album from iPhoto, which should have the effect of deleting that set and its photos from the Flickr website, and start all over? This was a big, long upload, which is why I am hesitating.
    As I mentioned above, if the album in iPhoto is empty but everything is still intact on Flickr, then likely the album in iPhoto was "disconnected" (link lost) from the Flickr album. When you go into that album in iPhoto, does it still show a Flickr link in the upper left? If so, what happens when you click that link? Does it take you to the album?
    I just started using Flickr yesterday and have had some trouble with it - for example, I've deleted albums/sets and re-uploaded them, for various reasons. Perhaps I've confused the poor thing.
    Flickr is pretty good. It is the iPhoto to Flickr interface and syncing that is a bit weak. It sounds like your issues are with iPhoto's syncing with Flickr than with anything to do with Flickr itself.
    I myself use a number of tools with Flickr and I find iPhoto doesn't offer many choices on how it works with Flickr. Actually it doesn't really offer any choices, you get one method of interaction and that is it. So for many tasks I use other tools to get photos onto Flickr.
    That said, if you have a full album/event you want to put on Flickr, the iPhoto interface is very handy for publishing a set on Flickr with keywords, map data, etc. and allows you to edit photos later and have those updates automatically go to Flickr as well. But with that comes some problems like being able to edit a photo in iPhoto for a different purpose, perhaps forgetting you added it to a Flickr album since you are accessing the photo elsewhere in iPhoto than that Flickr set, and then having those edits updated to Flickr without you realizing or intending.

    More info about my question - there is an emanating wave or broadcast signal icon beside each Flickr album name in the iPhoto source menu. It looks a bit like the Airport signal icon along the top bar of the computer screen. When you click on it, the sync symbol appears and goes round and round for awhile. So that is how you manually sync Flickr albums and sets I guess.
    Yes, even if you just click on the set to look at it in iPhoto, you will usually see the little "broadcast" icon indicate it is checking the set against the Flickr set. Usually you see one of several icons. The little broadcast icon like the airport signal simply indicates that the set is synced to a Flickr set but is currently idle. When you click that icon or the set, the icon changes to a circle. A couple of swirling arrows in the circle indicates it is checking online. If there are updates then the circle goes blank and you start to see an advancing pie piece indicating how much of the sync is complete. If the circle just sits there blank for a long time, then the sync has stalled or not working.
    One album has the symbol, and two don't. These are the two I had trouble with today (deleting and re-uploading, etc.)
    The album that has the symbol also has a link at the top of the photos to the page on Flickr containing that photo set.
    The two albums that don't have the symbol do not display a link to the appropriate Flickr page. The corresponding sets are both visible on Flickr, however, as I said.
    Perhaps I should start all over?
    Ah, ok that answers the question I asked above. Sounds like the two albums somehow got de-linked from Flickr. Both sets show up on the left side under the Flickr listings?
    If that is the case, you have a couple of options.
    One is if you are satisfied with the set as it appears over in Flickr and don't really have a need to keep a live link between the two (Flickr and iPhoto) you can probably delete those sets from our of iPhoto's "Flickr" albums and your Flickr sets will stay.
    On the other hand, if you wish to keep a live link to the two albums so you can continue to edit or update the album, keywords, photos, etc. then you probably want to redo those two.
    Unfortunately as I said above, I don't know how to get an album to RE-link back to Flickr once that link has been broken and where it has happened to me I either have removed the set from iPhoto, removed the set and all photos from Flickr (using the Flickr web site tools), then recreating the set in iPhoto and clicking the Flickr upload button again to recreate the whole thing. Or I leave the set on Flickr and continue to work with it directly at Flickr using other tools to add additional photos and doing all my edits on the set or the photos from the Flickr website itself.

  • Geotagging with iPhoto and Flickr

    Question in a quick and detailed version:
    (quick version: )
    What do you all think is the best way to geotag photos that are already stored in your iPhoto library? If you have a workflow involving iPhoto, geotagging, and possibly uploading to flickr or some sort of image sharing site like that, please post it!
    (detailed version:)
    I recently discovered geotagging, thanks to Flickr adding the new "map" function, whereby you can drag and drop your flickr photos onto a yahoo map. This is great and all, but it only affects the images I have on flickr. . . it does nothing for the EXIF data of my images I have stored in iPhoto.
    Basically, my goal is to not have to do anything twice. I want to be able to geotag my photos once. . . write a caption/description for my photos once, apply iPhoto keywords to the photos once, then upload to flickr and have all the caption and tag (=flickr version of keyword) and geotag data already applied by the time the photo hits the web.
    My current workflow:
    -Import photos from camera directly into iPhoto
    -Make subset album of best photos which I will later upload to flickr
    -In iPhoto, write descriptions and apply keywords to each of those best photos
    -Use the FlickrExport plugin to get those photos onto flickr.
    -Once photos are in flickr, use flickr's "map" function to drag and drop photos to their location.
    Pros of my workflow: Now I have keywords (= tags in flickr) and captions both in iPhoto AND on Flickr, and I only had to apply and write these once.
    Cons: While my flickr photos are now geotagged on the web site, my photos in iPhoto remain locationless.
    I have googled around and learned a bit about applications like Geotagger, which lets you assign lat/lon/altitude information to your photos (jpegs only, I think) using GoogleEarth BEFORE you import the photos into iPhoto. Basically this adds lat/lon/alt values to your photos EXIF data, but you have to do this before importing the photo into iPhoto, because iPhoto only reads the EXIF data into its cache once (when the photo is imported). Hence, if you imported your photos into iPhoto first, and then used Geotagger, the original photo's EXIF data WOULD be updated, but iPhoto would not DISPLAY (or possibly export) that EXIF data properly.
    Ideally, I'd love to geotag my photos after they have already been imported into iPhoto. Geotagging before importing to iPhoto is obviously an option, but it means I have to look at a list of photos in the finder, open them one by one in Preview or something so I know which image it is and where it is, THEN use geotagger to geotag. . . THEN import them to iPhoto. It would be more convenient to do this geotagging after I've already imported the pics into iPhoto and used the nice gui to decide which pics I want to geotag in the first place.
    Also, if I want to go back and geotag photos that I imported into my iPhoto library several years ago, there does not appear to be a way to do that at all without exporting the photo, geotagging, and re-importing it. If I do that, then the newly re-imported and geotagged photo will no longer have the description/caption or keywords that I spent all that time applying some time in the past, and I have extra work on my hands! Ugh. Why doesn't iPhoto support geotagging? This seems like something Apple should have thought of.

    Mike G.:
    Yes, iPhoto has had fields in its "show photo info" windows for lat/lon/alt for a while now. It gets all this photo info from the EXIF data that exists in the jpeg before you import it into iPhoto. This EXIF data is written to your photo file by your digital camera, usually. When you import the photo file into iPhoto, the program reads in the EXIF data (time photo was taken, exposure, f-stop, etc.) and populates the fields in iPhoto's "show photo info" windows.
    Hence, if you already have lat/lon/alt data in the EXIF of your photo file BEFORE you import it into iPhoto, then iPhoto will populate those fields upon import.
    The "bug" in iPhoto, however, is that the EXIF file is never again refreshed after the photo has been imported. That is, if you import a photo, then manually go and and change the EXIF data in that original photo file (not in iPhoto), then the EXIF data will have been changed, but iPhoto won't know about it. It will just show you the cached EXIF info that it grabbed when it first imported the file.
    Hence, if you want iPhoto to show you the lat/lon/alt data, you have to geotag BEFORE you import. OR, if you've already imported a non-geotagged photo, you can export that file, geotag it outside of iPhoto, and then re-import. But then, of course, you have to re-apply all the keywords and caption information to the newly re-imported photo. (pain in the butt!)
    Of course, this is all sort of nitpicky: my only complaint is that iPhoto doesn't SHOW you the lat/lon exif data if you geotag after iPhoto import. But that lat/lon data IS still in the photo file. You can see this by using the iPhoto Flickr plugin to upload your geotagged photo to Flickr: when it shows up in flickr, the photo will have its lat/lon info and be properly placed on the map.
    I just think it would be nice if you could see your geotagged photos lat/lon info in iPhoto without having to go to so much trouble.

  • Iphoto and flickr albums

    Is there anyway to stop iPhoto from automatically putting my photos uploaded to flickr in albums? I don't always want them in an album so I have to continually go into flickr and delete the albums. Even when I do want them in an album, if I add to an album after it's been uploaded once, it creates a new album with the same name rather than including them with the original one.
    My biggest request would be to make uploading to/as an album optional. Apple owes me about 4 hours of my life over the past 18 months in time spent deleting albums in flickr.

    Hello Shareski,
    iPhoto was designed to work with Albums. Thats how you organize images. So iPhoto will always upload to an album. However, one you've created a flick album in iPhoto, when you add additional images to that album in iPhoto those images should appear in the same album on Flickr. If your finding that a new album gets generated when you add new images this suggests something may be wrong with your particular iPhoto Library. Consider performing a rebuild http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638.
    Hope that helps.

  • Iphoto and flickr sync is constantly pending

    The flickr album on my MAC shows 321 photos, but on flickr, I can only see 284 items.  I had tried to quit iphoto, reboot the mac, nothing helps.  Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Sean

    Try the following:
    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 - launch iPhoto, reset it's various preferences 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.

  • So iPhoto and Flickr is a 2-way synch?

    I'm not home to experiment right now, but let's say I have 2105 pics on Flickr and I just install iLife 09 for the first time on my PPC G5 ...is there any way to populate my iPhoto with all the pics I have on Flickr?
    (this could be a way around the issue I'm having in my other post if so)

    Thanks Terence!
    so is it not a native feature of iphoto? Do I have to buy one of those plugin or is there a way to do it only with iphoto?
    Because of it will apply only to images uploaded to flickr via iPhoto, if I upload all the events of my iphoto library and then if I delete a photo or move it from an events to another one, this action is automatically replicated on the corresponding photo and events in flickr without I doing nothing?
    Does it work also for video contained in iphoto events?
    very thanks

  • IPhoto and Flickr

    I am trying to upload photos from my iPhoto library to Flickr. This should be easy!
    When I click on the library icon for iPhoto, iPhoto is opened. I can see the file location of a photo by choosing Show in Finder but how the heck do I locate the file so that it can be uploaded to Flickr?

    Use the Share -> Flickr option in iPhoto
    or
    Use some, one or any of these:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • IPhone, iPhoto and Flickr

    Any idea as to why when uploading pictures to Flickr from iPhoto that it scrambles up the orde in which they were taken?

    Yes, because the phone sticks it in the EXIF information, which Photoshop will happily preserve when saving.
    I'm sure flickr will soon start filtering description fields consisting of only 'Back Camera' or 'Front Camera'. They do this for other camera models that put info in that field, too.

  • Flickr:  Is there a reference on how IPhoto and Flickr work w/ each other?

    I have a pro Flickr account that I want to use as a backup for IPhoto (a basic auto-sync).  Do I have to share my events to Flickr?  Is there a way to automate this?  I am at around 65GB of photos, so I want to get this right the first time...
    Thanks!

    Don't use the iPhoto uploader. This is a syncing relationship, so if the photos are deleted from iPhoto the next time you link to Flickr they'll be deleted there too.

  • I burned iPhoto to a folder and now my folders/albums are gone in iPhoto

    I decided to burn a folder of all my photos in iPhoto as I was having a problem with iPhoto creating new,untitled subfolders everytime I put photo's in a folder. I thought that I should back everything up and then take the next step to reloading iPhoto. I have had a problem with iPhoto since I bought my computer and took it into the genius bar twice and they they remotely came into my computer. It seemed to stump all of them, although the remote session was the best help. Since I have over 32,000 photos, I think it is time to find out what is really going on with this particular iPhoto. I have been using iPhoto for a very long time on previous computers and never had a problem. I need help before I regret doing something I can't reverse.

    I am asking what happened to my folders and albums after backing up my photos by burning a folder to my desktop.
    Part of the problem is confusing use of language - since we only have words to communicate with it is critical to use the correct words properly
    In iPhoto are you speaking of folders and albums in the source pane on the left? Those are for organizing and are not places but albums are ways of viewing yoru photos and folders are ways of organizing your albums
    Not sure what you mean by "burning a folder on the desktop? You "burn" CDs and DVDs - you "export" photos to finder folders on the desktop - is this what you did?
    Then exactly what did you do next?
    This makes no sense
    Just went back to iPhoto and all of the albums and folders are gone. All the photos are present.
    Exporting photos does nothing to a finder folder does absolutely nothing to the source photos within iPhoto
    And export (if htat is what you did) is not a way to backup iPhoto - it does backup your photos but not yourorganization
    So to help it is critical to know exactly what you did do
    And do you have a good current backup of the iPhoto library - you may very well need to use it

  • Sharing photos on Facebook and Flickr

    Hello. I'm a little concerned that photos I publish to Facebook and Flickr will be removed from these respective sites if they are inadvertently deleted from within IPhoto. What would happen if I reinstall OSX and start from scratch without restoring anything from TimeMachine? Would the two sites replicate with the new install, and then remove photos because they're not in IPhoto? Please advise before I invest a lot of time in using this new feature. Thanks in advance.

    Terence Devlin wrote:
    But won't they be removed if you then sync a new Library with FaceBook?
    I don't think so because the new library isn't the old library. In other words, unless you specifically are able to relink an album in iPhoto to a set in Flickr (and I assume the same is true for Facebook), iPhoto would have no way of knowing those photos are on Flickr (or Facebook). Even with the same names I doubt it will link up with the online versions. At least with the Flickr sets, iPhoto keeps a direct link to the set.
    For example...
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/pakphotog/sets/72157617564040837/
    would be a set link. And you would have to somehow reassociate that link in iPhoto.
    In my own experience in Flickr (I don't use Facebook), I have had uploads of set out of iPhoto go wrong where for whatever reason the upload stalls and you have to cancel out. Any photos that did make it to Flickr are orphaned by iPhoto and a Flickr set isn't created in iPhoto. If you then retry the album to flickr, it will reupload the same photos again since it doesn't know they are already there.
    I have found that to be a rather frustrating problem with iPhoto and Flickr. I would love for iPhoto to have a way to upload to Flickr and NOT manage where they are in flickr including the ability to leave them in Flickr but not iPhoto.
    For this reason I have been using FlickrExport for iPhoto, a third party plug in...

    which allows you to do things like upload from iPhoto to existing Flickr sets or several different sets among other things. My only complain with that plug in is that it appears to disable iPhotos built in Flickr uploader which I still like to use as well (useful for uploading new full albums going into the same set). So the unfortunately work around seems to be to move the plug in out of the iPhoto folders and relauch to use built in flickr upload then put back and relaunch to use the plug in.

  • I have a mac pc, recently went into iPhoto I needed a picture to be developed.  Opened iPhoto and notice I no longer have over 300 photo's. Can someone out there tell me where they went to ?

    4 days ago I neede to have a picture developed. Opened iPhoto and noticed over 15 Albums are
    no longer there.  I belive this and other problems started once I downloaded OX S app. And now I have lots of problems. Lots of flickering when playing Blackjack, all my emails are not syncing. Also the I have had to change the batteries in my mouse and keyboard, the "not connected" pop-up and "connected"  pop-up will and this is on a daily basis.  Please some one help...

    When you post in the iMac forum be sure to give your iMac model identifies no. i.e., iMac X,X, which can be found by going to your Applications/Utilities folder and launching System Information.app.  In the Hardware Overview section you'll see the Model Identifier.
    Give them the system you're running and details of what you're experiencing and when.
