IPhoto '09 library on iDisk (incl. offline sync)

hi there,
i would like to do the following:
(*) move my iPhoto library (approx 35 GB) to my iDisk
(*) keep a copy of my iDisk on my local disk
from this set up i expect
(1) to have a backup of my photos on my iDisk
(2) to be able to view / edit my photos from multiple macs (all with offline sync of my iDisk)
(3) no problems with loading times as my photos are stored localy as well (not just on the iDisk)
does anyone has experience with such a setup? will it work as i expect? and does anyone know if iDisk can sync incremental updates to my iPhot library or would it sync the full 35 GB file even if i change only 1 photo?
appreciate any feedback / comments / hints.
best,
balazs

Running a library from the iDisk would be excruciatingly slow. You would have to be using a "managed" library and be using the online library and not a local one if you wanted multiple Macs to have the same library.
Click to view full size
Operating a local library on multiple computers and syncing them with the iDisk library would damage both libraries. It can't be done.
Your best bet would be to get an external HD, move the library to it and let all Macs have access to the external HD and the library like described in this Apple KB document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

Backing up iPhoto '08 Library to iDisk.

What is the most efficient way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

It depends on the size if the library. If it's small enough to fit on a DVD disk then just burn the iPhoto Library package to a DVD disk from the Finder.
If it's too big to fit on a single disk and you want the disk(s) to be readable my an iPhoto library at some later date for reimporting back into iPhoto then select events and use the Photos->Burn Disk menu option. That will preserve your events and the keywords, comments and titles of the photos. Burning by Events will let you keep a chronological back up and know what photos need backing up.
IMO, the best way to backup a library is to have an external FW HD and copy the entire library to it. Then use an application like Synk Standard or LaCie's free SilverKeeper to make daily, incremental backups to it. That way you always have a current backup in case of drive or library problems.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Backup iPhoto Library to iDisk

I tried to backup my 2.4 gig iPhoto library to iDisk via the finder. It was so slow as to be unusable. I tried to backup via the browser but it has a 1 gig limitation. Is there any way to split up the iPhoto library to get under the 1 gig limit? It appears on the onset that using iDisk via the Finder for uploading large files is not a viable option. Other than the 1 gig limitation and the inability to backup anything other than a file (no folders), the browser option of uploading seems fine.
Ken

Have you tried Apple's backup utility Backup 3.1.2? It's on your iDisk in the Software folder.
Also once you get the library on the iDisk you can use a backup application like Synk Standard to make incremental backups to it. It will copy only those new or changed files making the incremental backup much faster.
Another possibility is to use Transmit. It uses the WEBDAV process for uploading files and can back items also. It's much faster than using the Finder. But always be sure to not sync but to backup. You don't want to copy both ways, only from your Mac to the iDisk.
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. 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 now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Is the new iPhoto '08 Library syncing in entirety every time?

The new storage for iPhoto Library in iPhoto '08 is a package. It SEEMS like PHD is sensing any minute change inside (which update the package's modified date) and then copying/syncing the ENTIRE library. For some users, this can be 15GB of pain.
Can anyone else confirm or deny?

OK, but please, there's no warranty or anything of that nature and it's a bit specific to my situation, but here goes:
1. I created a script at ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/iPhoto/Backup Library.sh
By putting it at that path, it shows up nicely in the AppleScript menu extra only when iPhoto is active. Thus, it can be manually triggered by the user at any time.
So, here's the script:
<pre class="command">#!/bin/sh
SERVER="afpserver.domain.net"
synclibrary()
    if test -d "/Volumes/Users/$USER/Pictures/iPhoto Library";
    then
        /usr/bin/rsync -av --delete-after "/Users/$USER/Pictures/iPhoto Library/" "/Volumes/Users/$USER/Pictures/iPhoto Library"
    else
        echo "iPhoto Library is not available."
    fi
echo `date` "* Syncing \"iPhoto Library\""
if test -d /Volumes/Users;
then
    echo "Users is available."
else
    echo "Users is not available. Mounting..."
    mount_needed=1
fi
if test "$mount_needed";
then
    mkdir "/Volumes/Users"
    sleep 1
    if `mount_afp -o nobrowse "afp://$USER@$SERVER/Users" "/Volumes/Users"`;
    then
        echo "succeeded."
        synclibrary
        echo -n "Unmounting Users..."
        umount "/Volumes/Users"
        echo "done."
    else
        echo "failed."
        rm -r "/Volumes/Users"
    fi
else
    synclibrary
fi
echo `date` "* Done Syncing \"iPhoto Library\""
exit 0
</pre>
Now, while I've been doing all sort of scripting for many years, shell scripting's a bit new to me, so any suggestions/corrections welcomed. I tried to mirror what Home Folder syncing does in this deployment's situation, which is:
1. If the user has manually mounted the Users sharepoint, this script realizes it's there, makes sure the iPhoto Library folder is present at the right remote location, and does its thing.
2. If the user does NOT have the Users sharepoint mounted, but has an active Kerberos ticket, I mount the sharepoint, run the script and then disconnect the sharepoint afterwards. I do this in a way that the sharepoint does not show up to the user.
Does that sound right to everyone?
OK, now to run the script automatically, I use launchd. Cron is deprecated.
So, the launch script goes in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.iPhoto.rsync.plist and looks like this:
<pre class="command"><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.apple.iphoto.rsync</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/username/Library/Scripts/Applications/iPhoto/Backup Library.sh</string>
    </array>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/Users/username/Library/Logs/MirrorAgent.log</string>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/Users/username/Library/Logs/MirrorAgent.log</string>
    <key>StartInterval</key>
    <integer>21600</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
</pre>
You can set the StartInterval to whatever you want. It's represented in seconds. I chose 3 hours, which is the same interval that I use for PHD.
I am also using the MirrorAgent.log to report all output and my script tried to make that output look as similar to the PHD output as possible. Thus, I can track it all in the one log.
There is ONE problem with this launchd script, which I can't seem to surpass, and that it the fact that I have to use FULL paths.... I can't use ~/Library/etc/etc which means I have to make the launchd plist for each user. Any workarounds for that would be greatly appreciated.
Any questions, just ask!

I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto '08 library to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.

I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto (2007) library on a Macbook to my new iMac for iPhoto '11. First, when I opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked me to create a library, which I did. Then I imported her photos via a wireless network to my "new" library. However, when it finally finished importing, it had imported 3 copies of each photo from her library. I deleted the "new" library and started over.
Second, I opened iPhoto on the iMac and chose to use "other library." I chose my wife's shared iPhoto library and it began transferring the photos to the new iMac (or so I thought). This worked beautifully as it only brought over single photos and not 3 copies like discussed above. After editing the new library and adding some photos from an old PC, I shut down iPhoto. A few hours later I tried to open iPhoto on the iMac and it gave me the opening screen again with choices to create a new library or use a different library. As it turns out, my wife's Macbook and been disconneted from our wireless network. I was able to figure out that that unless my wife's Macbook is connected to the network then I cannot access the iPhoto library on my iMac. I was under the impression that I had copied her library to my computer and that the photo files were now on the hard drive of the iMac. So when her computer is offline I can no longer access the imported library. I want her library to stay on the iMac as we plan to sell her Macbook. As you now know, we cannot access her iPhoto library on the Macbook since she is running an older version of iPhoto.
So, what I would like to do is to completely transfer the photos from her Macbook to my new iMac and be able to access them on the iMac regardless of whether she is on the network or not because we plan to sell her Macbook to a friend. Thank you for any help you can provide.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

How can I share a large iPhoto '11 library on multiple computers (I am the user on all) through iCloud?

I have three residences, and in each I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro (sixe devices in total, I do not like carrying computers through airports :-)) and I have an iPhoto '11 Library with 3,000 photos+. I know I can use Photo Stream to access recent photos via iCloud from these multiple devices. My question is: can I create a single iPhoto library stores in iCloud so that all my devices can in fact sync their libraries through iCloud?

No
That is not a feature of iPhoto or iCloud

Iphoto 6 : library structure

Greetings ;
I'm new to mac. I've been reading thru the various posts and haven't found a matching situation at least described this way.
i've done what i now know what not to do by somehow through finder altering something in the IPhoto Library.
This is a finder view of the 2006 library structure:
Iphoto 6 Library
Data (this i understand to be thumbnails)
2006
rolls 1 - 13 exist (each populated)
Originals
2006
rolls 1 - 13 exist (each populated)
Iphoto 6 was used to import photos from Canon.
The photos were viewable from within Iphoto 6.
Now they are not.
While in Iphoto 6
Library - has some photos in it
Early Photos (no photos)
2003 (no photos)
2004 (no photos)
2005 (some photos)
2006 (no photos)
Last 14 Months (changed via preferences)
Last 12 Months
Trash
The good thing is Rolls 1 thru 13 (data and original) contain all the images per each download via iPhoto 6 (even tho they are repeats as i was experiencing download problems with my camera and repeated the download about 8 times hence rolls 6 - 13 are partial duplicates of each other.
i created a duplicate of the iPhoto Library in the desktop for now.
by the various posts i attempted the command option iphoto rebuild and selected the all options - it completed ok but the rolls 1-13 in the HD file structure are not corresponding while in IPhoto app.
While in iPhoto app:
i see no rolls and the 2006 year is completely empty.
likewise the 2005 year and the library have some pictures in them but there is no corresponding 2005 or library in the finder view of both the data and the original.
The Finder view of the structure only shows 2006 (rolls 1 -13) for both data and original.
Further : I'm not positive of the sequence here as i'm new to mac and did what i thought was ok but now know otherwise. I created albums and copied/moved (not sure) photos from the library to the albums then moved/ copied from the library to the iPhoto trash (most of which are still there).
I can only tell you where things are now and not exactly how they got this way.
So...
1) So How do I sync up the 13 rolls viewable in finder with something that makes sense while in iPhoto ?
2) What did the rebuild do for me as I hoped it would solve the 13 roll phenomenon?
The per import from camera creating a new roll within iPhoto as I now understand is the way it operates is where i'd like to get back to so I can at least start from ground zero.
Thanks for the assistance.

restuart:
Isn't the cache folder titled "iPod Photo Cache"? It has to do with adding photos to an iPod. Even if you don't sync photos to an ipod there'll be that folder if you've ever connected an iPod.
The Data folder contains the thumbnail files for each photo.
Regarding the year folder with the old structure, I believe it's like our appendix, no longer needed. I had a 2005 folder with just photo in it. I moved it to the desktop and opened iPhoto, went to the roll that had that picture in and it was there and useable. I've since trashed that 2005 folder. Give it a try. and see if there's any problems with removing it. Make a backup of the library folder beforehand just in case.
There is some sort of bug with the roll dates. When you import an old folder of files it uses one of the modified dates instead of the captured date on many of the rolls. I haven't figured out how it determines which date on which photo to use. It's easy to change the date of the roll so it is located in the proper chronological position among the other rolls.
The current folder structure is a result of many requests to get iPhoto in line with other more professional image management applications. iPhoto's new capability of being able to use alias files instead of copying the entire file into it's new folder system allows it to be able to use soruce image files that are on another HD/CD /DVD and if the source files are not mounted iPhoto can still see the thumbnails, make and manipulate albums but cannot edit or work with books, slideshow or calendars. Once the photos come back on line iPhoto can use them again. This way users can develop their own folder/cataloging system and iPhoto will construct it's library in accordance with it.

Backup iphoto 09 library error

Arrrggghhhhh, please help me.
I am trying to move my iphoto 09 library to my 2 TB Time Capsule. The library size is showing as 96GB and my poor imac hd (intel) is only 320GB so is being dominated by images and movies (approx 16000). I thought I could put the library on the time capsule and keep the hd for music and documents. My question is two fold:
-Why when I am copying and pasting this library as a whole to the Time Capsule would it be aborting after about 8 hrs saying error -36? (Iphoto is closed and energy saving options are off)
-Is there a way for me to reduce the size of the library and rebuild to just include the photos that I can physically see in iPhoto? (any originals are long forgotten about.) That way I can use the time Capsule as a back up rather than a single storage place.
Many thanks

1. This is not a suitable location for the Library and not an intended use for the Time Capsule. If you want to move the Library off your internal HD buy a Firewire or USB disk, format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use that.
2 A -36 error means that the process has hit a file that cannot be read or written - locked or damaged in other words. 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. Include the option to check and repair Library permissions.
3. The only part of an iPhoto Library that can be removed safely is the iPod Photo Cache, but that's pointless as it will be recreated the next time you sync with an iPad/iPod/iPhone. Other than that Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

ITunes 10 doesn't see my Aperture Library and I can't sync phots to iPhone4

I upgraded to iTunes 10, now when I plug in my iPad or iPhone to my MacPro iTunes tells me this device was sync'd with another photo library and should it delete the pictures to sync with photos from this computer. I said yes on my iPhone4 sync, it deleted all the photos on the phone then when I click to the Photo section it tells me there are 0 photos in my Aperture library!!!! So now I can't sync my photos as it believes they don't exist despite there being over 20,000 in Aperture!!! It sees my old iPhoto library no problem. How do I get iTunes to recognise my Aperture library to allow me to sync photos again?

thanks Tony,
I clicked on the Library and that did it .. (I never found the "switch libraries" menu item) but this worked great ...
but just to give a complete solution ... I was looking for a option to use 2 screens and decided to look in the Preferences file and at the top was an option to designate a library .. to point to one. I guess I needed to look a little harder... thanks for your time and help,
ana

IPhoto '08 photos don't appear after sync

When I sync my iPhoto '08 library to my iPod, the photos appear blank-how can I fix this?

All the caption are there and I have the ability to edit the captions and tag people but the actual image isn't there.
This suggests that the Photos are there but not showing for some reason. Have you tired looking with a different Web Browser?

How to merge iPhoto v2 libraries into one iPhoto v11 library

Hi,
I just are going through a major upgrade from my iBook dual USB (500 MHz Power PC G3, OS 10.4.11) to my brand-new MacBook Pro (2.3 GHz core I5, OS 10.6.8).
As my old iBook was running so slow, I had splitted my libraries into two using IPhoto Library Manager some years ago running with iPhoto 2. Now I need to merge these two libraries into one and then transfer it to my new computer and let iPhoto 11 upgrade the library at once.
Based on very helpful earlier threats, I intend to follow the process below:
Merge libraries using iPhoto Library Manager (registered version) to get one library (on my old computer)
Copy this library into the Pictures folder of my new computer
Open iPhoto (shift key will give me the option to select if needed) and it will automatically upgrade my library.
So far so good - but I experience one issue I did not manage to solve. I use iPhoto Library Manager version 3.5.2 on my old computer, but after starting the merging process it tells me I need iPhoto version 4 at least; but I have version 2 only. I guess I cannot use iPhoto version 11 on my new computer as I first need to merge the libraries as old versions, as the iPhoto version 11 cannot work with the not yet upgraded libraries, can it? I have the IPhoto Library Manager registered version 3.6.8 installed on my new machine.
Before I make a major mistake to my pictures (> 20 GB): is it possible to upgrade both old libraries separately in iPhoto v11 and then merge them in iPhoto v11?
Many thanks for your advice!
Best regards,
Markus

Rename the second iPhoto 2 library to something other that iPhoto Library and put it in the Pixtures folder next to the other library on your new MBP. Then open it with iPhoto11 to convert.
Once both are converted to the same version you can use iPLM to merge them into a new library.
HOWEVER if you don't care about any metadata you might have in your last iPhoto 2 library you can use SyncPhotos
to import the photos in your iPhoto 2 library into your iPhoto 11 library.
Here's how it works:
1 - it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
2 - the files in A that are not in B are imported into B by copying the original files from A into B's Import folder.
3 - it then does the same for B.
4 - metadata is not copied.
It can be used to just copy from A to B and not sync both ways if desired. It will work with 2 libraries that are different versions, i.e. between an iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09 library.

Offline sync on Xamarin - minimum Android version

There were some questions on the Disqus thread on the
Xamarin.Android offline tutorial, which turned into a long discussion, so I’m moving to a thread here.
Essentially, there was a question as to the lowest version of Android that can be targeted when using offline sync with Xamarin.
The tutorial currently states it is 2.2 but this is incorrect--the minimum version is 4.1. We will update soon. Thanks to
Orizz for tracking down the problem!
As some customers reported, if you use offline sync with the default SQLiteStore on version 4.0.3, you will see exceptions such as:
SQLitePCL.SQLiteException: Unable to prepare the sql statement: INSERT OR IGNORE INTO [ToDoItem] ([id]) VALUES (@p0),(@p1),(@p2),(@p3) Details: near ",": syntax error
The exception occurs on line 113 of the sample app downloaded (ToDoActivity.cs). The line is
await toDoTable.PullAsync("allTodoItems", toDoTable.CreateQuery()); // query ID is used for incremental sync
Ankur:
1) Can you please share a sample project how this can be achieved?
[how to override system library]
It will really be a deal breaker if we can't use it for 4.0 and 4.1 as these together account for 25% of all android users! (
https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html ). At the very least, we will need to support 4.1(18.4% users).
2) Also, the SQLiteStore is dependent on 3.8.2 version which is only available on Lollipop. It means that while we haven't found any issue using it on non-Lollipop devices, there is really no guarantee that it will work!
3) It looks like the main issue is that some SQL statements are not supported. Can you please post a list of SQL statements (and corresponding Linq queries as end user uses Linq which converts it to SQL statements) which are supported
in the different Android versions? That way, we can write queries accordingly and workaround this issue.
Finally, here's my reply!
The Mobile Services SDK itself will work with lower versions of Android, but SQLiteStore implementation has only been tested on devices running Android API 19 (4.4), or
SQLite 3.7.11:
Double-check your device, but standard Android 4.1 (or above) have at least this version of SQLite.
We will update the quickstart project to target API 16 or above, and clarify the version in the offline sync tutorial.
Note that we do not currently plan to support multiple versions of SQLite, due to the testing matrix this will introduce: for each version of SQLite, we will have to test 4 platforms (Windows, Windows Phone, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS).
To support Android versions below 4.1, you can always substitute your own local store implementation. The local store is completely pluggable and doesn't require rebuilding our SDK. For instance, you can use a completely different type of local database
or build a store that supports older versions of Android.
To get a working SQLite-based local store on API 15 and below, do one of the following:
Override the SQLite system library. NOTE: I haven’t found official documentation on how to do this, but I found these posts:
StackOverflow,
Google groups,
StackOverflow. However, I have not tried this myself.
Or, create your own local store by using the source of SQLiteStore as a starting point. For instance, modify SQLiteStore so that it doesn't use bulk insert (introduced in 3.7.11), but rather does individual inserts.
Verify your implementation on different versions of Android by running the
tests for SQLiteStore for Xamarin Android with your custom local store.
There were some questions about what SQL or LINQ is supported by the Mobile Services SDK, but actually that wasn't the cause here--it was the local store implementation and how it implemented push and pull operations. In contrast, all LINQ operations against
sync tables will execute, assuming the local store works with your version of SQLite. In other words, you don’t need to modify your sync table queries, but just make sure that all SQLiteStore tests pass for your implementation.
It’s unfortunate that SQLite can’t easily be changed on older Android devices, but at least with 4.1 and above, that accounts for over 85% of devices. For targeting 4.0 or below, the local store customization should be a feasible option.

Here's an article that describes how to make your own build of SQLite:
http://www.sqlite.org/android/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki

I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync it to one library. I want to sync it to the previous library but how do I get it to go there?

I am trying to sync my ipod but it keeps saying that a previous library exists and that I can only sync to one library. I want to sync it to the original library bc that is the one that has all songs. It keeps giving me a library with just songs that I have bought on itunes. I never created a new library so I am not sure why it is doing this. How do I get it to sync to my original library? I have already tried to restore a previous version of itunes but that did not help.

It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files. It happens sometimes. To recovery:
- Import the old music into the current iTunes library
- Make sure all the apps are also in the library
- If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
- After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes.
- Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

IPhoto '08 Library won't open in OSX 10.6.7

I have moved an iPhoto '08 library to a new iMac running OSX 10.6.7 and I can't get the library to open - any suggestions?
Thanks in advance....
Sunny in Eugene, Oregon

I backed up the user to an external hard drive then dragged the iPhoto Library into her Pictures file. When I open iPhoto, I get 2 error messages: "To use iPhoto '11 you need to upgrade your photo library" - I click on "continue to upgrade. Simultaneously I get another message saying: "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto...Please quit & use the latest version".... I AM using the latest version??? Huh?
Thank for any help.....
