IPhoto '09 "is saving critical information of your mediathek"

When I close iPhoto, the a.m. dialogue-box appears - with the option "later"
Even when the blue graphic shows full, the box will not disappear.
I have more than 12.000 photos in iPhoto.
Can it be that this is just too much?
And could this be related to the fact, that in iWeb under the media section of iPhoto it works endlessly but does not show any photos?
Rgds

12,000 photos is not an issue - iPhoto will handle 250,000 - many of us have 30,000 to 40,000 and others have more
Have you just ignored the message and let it finish? Usually the first time takes a while and from then on you hardly notice it

IPhoto is saving critical information

Hello,
I have been installed iPhoto 09 on a Leopard 10.5.7 MacBook. I imported about 1500 photos. Then I updated iPhoto with Software Update. After the update iPhoto upgrade the Library. Then I want to quit and I have got a message:
"Saving critical information..."
What does this message mean? Is it an error?
Sorry for my English!
Thanks!

Terence, thank you for your answer!
Sorry, but I don't know, what kind of Library do you think! After the message the iPhoto was closed. I can use the program without any problem, and the message appeared only once, but I'm curious about the meaning of message.
Thanks!

Problem saving information about your mailboxes

My Mail account freezes when a message comes up saying 'There is a problem saving information about your mailboxes' .. it just scrolls saying 'it may take a while to determine the problem, .. should I just leave it to do this or is there anything else I can do to fix the problem?

Let the thing run in SBBOD paralysis mode for 3 hours. Up pops a message "kill Mail, will re-import all your messages on restart". Had to force quit to kill. Relaunch - by George it did so. Took forever. Fixed itself. Weird.

I installed a new printer and now Photoshop Elements tells me I can't print. The error message is "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available.

Hi ,
Please update to PSE 13.1
13.1 has solved this problem.

Hi,
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest to do as follows:
1. Please try to update the Location column's schema by following the steps below.
1) Go to Site Settings -> "Site Columns"
2) Click on "Location", after the page is opened. Don't modify any settings, click "OK" to forcibly update the field's schema.
2. Re-edit the document information panel template to see if the issue still occurs.
Please go to the Library setting > click the corresponding content type(need to enable managed of content types in Advanced settings) > click Document Information Panel settings.
3. Here are some similar links about your issue, please take some time to look at them:

The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

Hello,
I hope somebody can help us. I am a IT Technician in a school, we have approx 500 Windows 7 64bit machines with about 600/700 users - 200 machines have the CS5.5 Master Collection installed on them. We have an intermittent issue with printing from Photoshop (both the 32bit and 64bit versions). Our printers are mostly HP LaserJet printers (all modern), but we have an Epson B-510DN Inkjet and some Xerox copiers too. The drivers are all installed on a central print server running Server 2008 R2 and shared via Group Policy to client machines.
In rooms where Photoshop is installed, intermittently when a student goes to print we will recieve the following error:
The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
Photoshop will then grey out the 'Print' button and won't let the user print again. The odd thing is that we can still print from other software such as Microsoft Word or even non Microsoft software - even Illustrator will print. It just seems to be Photoshop thats has any issues.
This happens when printing to any printer on site, 90% of which are HP's. As a general rule we configure all of our HP printers with HP's PCL6 Universal Print Driver as it makes management of various printer models easy, and we haven't found it to limit us atall yet. We are aware the Adobe software is 'preferential' to Postscript drivers but our printers arn't, being HP's PCL is their native language. We have tried changing a printer to the Postscript UPD driver to test it but it made no improvement. We have also seen the issue quite indepth with our Epson B-510DN which is configured with Epson's latest model specific driver as our photography department use it. Since we are seeing it with different printers I don't believe the printer drivers are to blame - unless somebody want's to prove me wrong.
Like I say the problem is intermittent, and we are having trouble tracing it down to a user, computer or a software problem as it is so intermittent. Has anybody else seen this and managed to overcome it? Since it's only happening in Photoshop is it a bug that Adobe have recognosed and fixed in CS6? The only workaround we have found for it is to go into printers, chnage the defualt printer from one to another and back again - this seems to shut Photoshop up.
Thanks, Dave.

Chris,
Apologies for my slow reply - we have been busy here the past few weeks.
We are using a standard Microsoft provided JPG image (Tulips.jpg) so we have ruled out it being an issue with the image; perhaps if we were using a PSD, maybe so.
We have now found out what the issue is, and what the workaround for this bug is. All of our printers across our site are named in a specific format, usually [Location name] [Room number] [Mono or Colour] resulting in printer names such as Photography A11 Colour, Art A2B Colour and Design Technology A14 Colour. All of these names contain numbers. We have tried reimaging machines, reinstalling Photoshop, upgrading to CS6, deleting and reconfiguring printers with the same name. Finally the only solution that worked was to take the numbers out of the name, either by renaming or deleting and reconfiguring the printers. The Photography printer is an Epson B-510DN using a model specific driver and the other two use the HP PCL6 UPD driver, so I don't believe the drivers are to blame and since renaming the printers work I don't believe it's a configuration issue either. Remember that these printers are shared from a print server and deployed via Group Policy (using the Print Management method).
I hope this provides you Chris, and others searching Google, a useful explanation of the problem and what the fix is. As much as Adobe won't admit it's a problem/bug, I and many others across the internet believe that it is and that it should be fixed in future versions of Photoshop.
Thanks, Dave.

I have used the "description" spot in iPhoto for in-depth additional information for photos of my ancestors. Now I am wanting to know if there is a way to print the photos along with the descriptions; either photo by photo, or maybe more than one per page, or possibly in some sort of booklet format. Thank you very much.

You can make a Book and have a photo on one side and your text description on the other.

I have PSE13 on my system, Windows 8.1, 64-bit. It was functioning properly after installation and now I get these messages when I go to print: "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You need to check your printer settings before printing." and then this statement: "Default printer could not be opened." I have reloaded drivers for both printers and made any upgrades possible. It was working fine before and now all of a sudden, nothing. Would prefer to have old PSE v.12 back, it worked with no problems.

Photoshop CS5. Saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop

I am hoping someone has experienced this problem. I am working at a clients
office which has a large Konica Printer. When I first started using Photoshop at this office I
could print directly from PS to thier printers. Then a printer driver change or something I cannot pinpoint changed and I began getting the Error Message: The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing. I click OK and the second Error Message appears: There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a priner and reopened any documents. The radio button has the single response word "Cancel". After clicking that button the printing is grayed out and until I go into Color Settings and change the setting drop down box to something else, close PS and reopen the, or any file and the same thing occurs. Ihad the IT department down here and after an hour he clicked on settings and tinkered around until all of a sudden the printing was enabled. It worked until the printer driver was updated. Once again the IT guy was down here and didn't remember what he did, tinkered around and after changing the color settings to: Monitor Color, it printed. Here we go again, printer settings were randomly changed so we reinstalled the printer driver and again PS is not printing.
Is there anyone who has experienced this issue who can help me make sense of this insanity. Is there a sequence of setting changes, opening of the program and file that is allowing the color management to stop interferring with my printing other than Gremlins in this machine? I have not found anything Googling on this issue. Please help me . . . Annette

I don't think I have an answer for you about exactly what went wrong, but one thing that can help with understanding the messages (and maybe can help you and your IT people figure it out) is this:
Photoshop saves the information about the last printer the document was printed to as metadata in the document file. So if you make a print then save the PSD, the printer info is in the PSD.
If recently you opened an image that had previously been printed at another place (and which didn't have an exact match to the printer available in your current location), then you can start to imagine these error messages making a bit more sense. Things like "The saved printer information" begin to have meaning.
Hope this helps.

Export from iPhoto while keeping original photo information?? NEED HELP!!!

I'm trying to set up a pc for my grandmother so I can take over her old computer (macbook air). However she has 11000 photos on iPhoto and I need to move then all onto a storage device (about 30GB) but when I export them the computer doesn't copy all the information such as the date the photo was taken etc. Talking to a guy in the apple store he said i couldn't do it, but he was being pretty unhelpful so I was wondering if anyone here could give me an answer. How do you export from iPhoto while keeping all the information?

This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
As to dates specifically:
There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

Saved printer information is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11

Hello - After successfully using PSE11 to print photos on my Epson Artisan 810 printer, the printer died and was replaced with an Epson Artisan 837 printer. The new printer works on ALL of my other applications EXCEPT I receive the following error message after hitting 'print' on Photoshop Elements 11.
MESSAGE:
The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing.
You can see from the screen print attached that the Epson Artisan 837 is a validly installed printer. All advanced settings were available for selection/modification, and all printer drivers are up to date. Also, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer without resolution of the problem.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?
Thanks so much, Debbie
Running:
Windows XP sp3 (up to date)

You did indeed lead down the correct path with only a little modification required in the naming (see below). Thank you so very much!!
Here's what I had to do to get this to work:
1 - I first tried to rename this printer to a generic 'DSLW Printer'. This renaming worked for ALL OTHER applications except Photoshop Elements 11 even after rebooting my PC. Received the identical error message listed in the original message.
2 - I then renamed the printer as 'EPSON Artisan 810 Series'. This was of course a lie but matched the printer as named by the 2010 original Artisan 810 installation. VOILA! This does work for Photoshop Elements 11 (jpg and psd files tested) and the other applications that I've tested. Hopefully all other testing will provide equally successful results.
So problem seems to be resolved BUT is this a question/problem that I should pursue with either Adobe or Epson? I do know that the 810 and 837 only differ in the ability to print from a wider variety of wireless devices (e.g. cell phones & tablets), otherwise the functionality is virtually identical. Did Epson drop the ball or did Adobe? Or maybe it's simply that I'm a die hard XP sp3 (32 bit) user until forced out by Microsoft.
Thanks again!!
Debbie

iPhoto was working fine. Performed update for HP printer, which should have nothing to do with iPhoto. But the next time I tried to open iPhoto, got this message. "To open your library with this version of iPhote, it first needs to be prepared." When I g

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD
