IPhoto '09 Keepsake - Large or XL for my camera resolution?

Hi all,
Quick question, I've created a keepsake book in iPhoto '09 but am not sure whether to go for a large (11x8.5) or extra-large (13x11). I used a Canon Digital Ixus 50 for most of the shots with a resolution of either 2048x1536 or 2592x1944 (I have some of each in the book). Would I be able to stretch to the XL size book or could I be in danger of the pics appearing pixilated/low quality?
Any thoughts, or experience with an XL size book with a similar resolution would be great
Cheers,
Michael

Unless you are using layouts that have 1 photos over the entire page you shouldn't have any issues with either size. Even for the 1 photo/page the resolution will be around 180 dpi which should give you good results.
My first camera gave me 1600 x 1200 images which I used in the first couple of large books that I ordered. Quality was fine. I didn't use any of the full one photo per page layouts.

IPhoto 6 - recurring pop-up window for digital camera

Starting a few months ago, I began getting this pop-up window every time I launch iPhoto:
No matter what I click or answer, this window pops up again every time I launch iPhoto.
Why is this happening and how do I get it to stop asking me? I work on an old PowerPC (OS 10.4.11, iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)). The pop-up window comes up irrespective of whether or not a digital camera or card reader is attached.

Rj in WI is correct. I just started using iTunes about a month ago after my wife got an IPod. It took me about an hour of frustration and reading the instruction before I saw in the bottom right of the window "my computer". You click on that and then you can change it to the Airport network. Unfortunately It appears you can only send to only one place. I have two Aiport Expresses and I can only send it to one of the Express devices, or the computer, but not to two or all three places at one time.

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for identification rather than randomly? Would provide better context for identification especially if a huge number of images is involved.

Before I commit the time and energy required to load and tag faces in 25,000 images within iPhoto, I need some questions answered;
Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for tagging rather than randomly? When so many images need tagging, over many years, the context of a folder helps with the identification. The work around is to load the images into iPhoto one folder at a time and do the tagging then.
How do I get iPhoto to present the tagged faces by last name rather than first name? When so many faces will be identified, it is much easier to find people by surname, particularly when I share the library within the family. The work around is to enter names as last name and first name. Being able to toggle the sort is much more desireable.
Is there a way to export a portion of the library including faces? I want to pass on portions of this huge 125 GB library to my family members.
Since my family members will need an Apple computer to view the images and faces, they will likely have their own photo library. So is there any way to combine two libraries and merge the faces?
About 2/3 of my images have been scanned, so the date of creation is the scanned date rather than the date the photo was taken. Will this mess up any sequencing or the retrieval of faces?

If I want to carve off part of a library, I presume the way to do this is to make a copy of the library using PLM then go into iPhoto and delete what I don't want. The result is the carved off portion.
You don't need Library Manager to delete the portion you don't want.
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
If I want to merge two libraries, PLM implies that it will do this but will the Faces be merged too?
I believe so.

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip

has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." ?
This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacOS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 and associating iPhoto to your AppleID.
Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID instead of updating. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
If iPhoto is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

IPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution

Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk. If that fails to help I'd try the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Hi, I hope this question won't seem too basic but if I want to use a new larger external drive for my time machine backups, will it do a new full backup the first time I plug it in and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?

Yes, it will do a full backup.
and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups. When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

I have Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom on my MacBook Pro laptop. I bought an iMac and I'd like to move my installations to the larger display desktop for editing purposes. How can I go about transferring them?

I have the same question. It seems that Adobe is almost impossible to contact (I ended up here at the forums to ask the same question).
I will never buy another Adobe product again if I can get another program to replace it. If this is customer service then it is NON EXISTENT!
I notice that your question has not been answered and why should you have to get the information from a forum? I know of no other company that makes you do this for simple product information.
NOT HAPPY with this version of arrogant customer service (nor am I happy about renting Photoshop products into the future - it is just a money grab in my opinion). I will be voting with my feet and going elsewhere in future.

Using old G5 as large screen monitor for new MacBook

Would I be able to use an old G5 as a large screen monitor for a MacBook or Mac Mini, using a VNC protocol such as ScreenRecycler (or another). If so, to what degree would the G5 OS have to be functional, i.e., if the video card and speakers are OK, but the OS is corrupted, could the G5 be used just as a monitor powered by the other device? I suspect the answer might be that it depends on what's corrupted; if so, how do I determine the G5's capability as only a monitor? Thanks!

In the traditional sense, the iMac G5 cannot be used as a "monitor" because it does not have video input.
I use ScreenRecycler. Here's how it works. Normally, if you use the built-in screen sharing feature of Mac OS X or run third-party VNC server software, you can view that Mac's screen in a window on another Mac (or any computer) using a VNC client program. That's regular screen sharing.
ScreenRecycler acts as the VNC server software, except it creates a virtual second screen and serves it to any VNC client program. You can change the resolution and arrangement of that virtual second screen using System Preferences Displays pane, as you would with any real second display. It is actually very clever.
In your case, the iMac G5 would be running the VNC client program (such as the developer's own JollysFastVNC) and displaying a window that shows that virtual second screen. When you make the program display it in full screen mode, the iMac G5 simulates a second display.
So to answer your question, the iMac G5 would need to be fully functional in terms of the OS, because it has to be running normally in order to run the VNC client program. It is not running in some special different display mode; it is operating like a normal Mac and just pretending to be the second display for another Mac. And it should work well using an iMac G5 because a wired network connection (be sure to use a Cat-5e or better cable) will be at gigabit speeds. You can try the program in limited-time demo mode for free.
