IPhoto 09 version 8.02

I downloaded the 8.02 update and could not crop photos. I went back to 8.0 backup and crop works just fine. What's up Apple?

Nothings up Apple (and Apple is not here anyway - just use users) - 8.0.2 works fine here and on everyone else's system - it is specific to Zakyak's system
Congratulations on having a backup - that is very smart (and amazing how many people who post here do not )
I'd suggest backing up and upgrading again with the combo updated downloaded from Apple.com downloads -- if that does not work trash your iPhoto preference file ("your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist) and see if that helps

IPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. can two macs have the same library?

I am running iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have an iMac and a MacAir. How do I have one photo library, say on the iMac, that is then replicated onto the MacAir?

There are two ways to "sync" the two libraries.
#1 - with the two Macs connected download and use SyncPhotos
Here's how it works:
it compares the databases and/or album.xml files of Libraries A and B.
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.
it then does the same for B.
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. This method does not require you to make the decision of which photos to sync.
NOTE: this method does not sync keywords, titles, ranking or descriptions.
#2 - download and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the Events in Library A that are not in LIbrary B to Library B. Then select those Events in Library B that are not in A and copy to A.
This method requires you to make the determination which photos (Events) to copy between libraries. It does copy all metadata, keywords, titles, etc. as well as Faces and Places.

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn't need it). I am totally happy with the

I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro with MAC OSX 10.6.8, iPhoto ’09 version 8.1.2 and have downloaded two software programs: one is Aperture 3.2 and the other is Photoshop Elements 9 (which I got from a friend who didn’t need it).
I am totally happy with the way iPhoto organizes my photos and how I can work with iMovie to create slide shows with music from iTunes, etc.
I have been shooting mostly high resolution jpegs and I continue to learn more and more about photography, post processing etc. I realize that the small adjustments I can make in iPhoto are good, and are adequate most of the time. However, a have started to experiment with shooting RAW images and would like to go the next step, ie. post processing.I am totally technically challenged and need SIMPLE, INTUITIVE programs and am certainly NOT anywhere ready for Photoshop CS whatever!
After having these programs sit on my computer, I decided to try to see if I could figure them out. When I opened Aperture, this is what first comes up.
“Welcome to Aperture 3.2
Your library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of Aperture. Once upgraded, you will not be able to use this library with previous versions of Aperture.
Upgrading a library from previous versions of Aperture 3 generally takes a few minutes or less, though larger libraries will take longer. After that, Aperture 3.2 will upgrade your library's thumbnails, but you can use the application during that time.
Tip: To open a different library, quit Aperture and hold the Option key down while starting Aperture
Current Library Location:
Jadzia (home) -----Pictures------Aperture Library
QUIT UPGRADE”
I have heard horror stories about moving your entire library to Aperture, ending up with 2 libraries, etc. etc. hence my previous reluctance in attempting Aperture. In addition, many of my photography friends are saying: Go with Lightroom 3.....you’ll love it!
So here is my dilemma. I don’t want to mess around with my iPhoto library. All I want to be able to do, is to isolate a few photos, export them to Aperture, Elements, and work on them there, then bring them back into iPhoto.
Can I do this? Should I forget about Aperture and Elements and look at purchasing yet another program like Lightroom?

Export those few photos via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original to the Desktop. Then import them into the Aperture library. That would keep one copy in your iPhoto library and another in your Aperture library to edit, etc.
You can use Photoshop Elements 9 from within iPhoto as your editor of choice. However, if you edit a raw file in iPhoto with PSE9 the resulting edited version must be saved outside the iPhoto Library and imported back in as a new file. For editing jpegs just do a Save (not a Save As) and it all will be kept within iPhoto.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as before.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I have a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8 with no updates. Bundled is iPhoto 11, version 9.2.6. I would like to update my OS to 10.9.5 or later. Is this possible and which version is recommended?

I have a MacBookPro with OS 10.6.8. It has no updates. This version contains Iphoto 11, version 9.2.3. I would like to upgrade my operating system to 10.9.5 or later. Is this possible and how best to proceed? How will this affect iPhoto?
Thanks, Jeff

If you have a mid/late 2007 MBP you can install the latest OSX that is available, on your MBP. Mavericks (10.9) has been replaced by Yosemite (10.10) and is no longer available in the App store.
You choices are Lion (10.7), Mt.Lion (01.8) (both $20) or Yosemite (free). The first two are available from the Apple online web site. Yosemite can be downloaded from the App store.
Ciao.

IPhoto '11 (version 9.4) Is Not Working With "My Photo Stream"

OS X 10.8.2
iPhoto '11 version 9.4 (701.64)
iOS 6 on iPhone 4 and third generation 64 GB WiFi iPad
All iCloud services I require are enabled on all three devices - most important for this issue being Photo Stream on my MBP (and, of course, my iPhone and iPad).
So, I am out of ideas and things to try here. I just want the photos in "My Photo Stream" to show up in the latest and greatest version of iPhoto. So far I have:
Disabled and re-enabled Photo Stream via iCloud preferences panel and in iPhoto itself using every possible combination of disable and enable between the two and ordering those disables and enables in every possible way with many MBP restarts.
Reset Photo Stream via iCloud.com followed by the futility of repeating Step 1.
Logged out of iCloud on my MBP, restarted, signed back into iCloud, restarted, launched iPhoto. Repeated Steps 1 and 2.
Performed every repair and rebuild option for my iPhoto library's permissions, thumbnails and database. Repeated Steps 1 and 2.
Went so far as to download and apply the 9.4 update manually hoping that maybe a reinstall of the update would correct something that might have gone wrong during some Software Update process when 9.4 was first made available. Repeated Steps 1, 2 and 4.
In the end, when I launch iPhoto and go to Photo Stream and open "My Photo Stream", sometimes I see it downloading a given number of photos and then it ends up saying "No photos". So what was downloaded? Where did those photos go? Sometimes when I launch iPhoto and go to "My Photo Stream" nothing happens at all and it just says "No Photos". And another strange thing is that "My Photo Stream" in iPhoto on my MBP indicates that it was updated March 5, 2012 and I can think of nothing special that happened on that date. I don't get it.
Why does my Photo Stream work perfrectly between my iPhone and iPad? What is the problem with iPhoto on my MBP? Am I the only one dealing with this specific issue?
I did not buy iPhoto from the App Store. I bought it outside of the App Store and have kept it updated. Is that a problem? If so, why? I do not see what reason Apple would have to make me pay for the same product twice.
I have not tried creating a shared stream yet. I see no reason to try that if I cannot get my own photo stream to work in iPhoto on my MBP.
Is there anything I am missing here. I have read the Photo Stream FAQ and myriad other support documents and community threads. I am a pretty savvy Apple guy with years of experience behind me and pretty much know what I am doing. But, I am human and maybe I'm missing somehting here. So, any help would most certainly be appreciated.

I guess I will wrap this up. I have abandoned iPhoto and viewing my Photo Streams using it and moved to Adobe products (Bridge + PS). So that's that.

I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem. All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera. Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library. Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that. To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it. I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth. This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it. If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly). How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

See my response to your other post.

I am trying to upgrade my iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2 to iPhoto 11 on my mac but i am confused

I currently have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 which was installed on my Macbook when I bought it. I have recently upgraded to OX Lion & want to upgrade to iPhoto '11 so I can use iCloud between my mac & iPhone but every time I click on the App in the App Store it keeps giving me a warning message: "iPhoto 8.1.2 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - Do you want to buy iPhoto 9.2.3?"
I am worried that if I select BUY it will delete my current iPhoto programme & I will lose everything?
can anybody tell me what to do?

Back up your library and install it.

IPhoto '11 version 9.0.1 didn't fix"iphoto is unable to open this library"

I upgraded iPhoto to version 9.0.1 but I still have the same issue : iPhoto '11 is unable to open and update my photos library. After launching iPhoto, it tried to update the library but I got the message "iphoto is unable to open this library". I tried all the workaround mentioned by the members of this forum without success. I even rebuild my library with the maintenance mode of iPhoto '09 before trying again to update it with iPhoto '11.
What should I do? Am I the only one in this case with version 9.0.1 ?
I need to access back to my photos and I'm surprised Apple is yet unable to propose a workaround for bypassing this library updating issue. By the way, it is strange that for being able to update a defective library you need to run the rebuilding options, but for being able to rebuild the library with iPhoto '11, you need first to update it. We are in a dead end!

You are not alone! I have the exact same problem, and 9.0.1 didn't help me either.
iPhoto 9.0 originally gave me this error. I removed it and re-installed iPhoto 8, which opens gives errors about the library needing repair. After running some of the rebuilding options I got the library open but all items from 2010 are missing.
I then reinstalled iPhoto 9.0.1 and tried to open an older backup of my iPhoto library that works fine with iPhoto 8. That won't open either, with the same error message- "iPhoto is unable to open this library." So basically I can't use iPhoto 9.0.1 at all, and with my most current library trashed I will have to go back to my nearly year-old backup library (I know, my bad) and import all newer photos, which I fortunately have stored elsewhere, again.
Or more likely, I will keep using my "backup" library on my PC with Picasa until I can try another iPhoto update that will hopefully restore my damaged library (wishful thinking, I suspect!)

How do I set up iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1 to send emails with medium/Large/actual size? I try sending photos to a publisher and iPhoto automatically shrinks them to about 40 kB. Publisher needs between 0.5 and 7 MB. My ISP has a limit of 12MB

How can I get to email photos at higher resolution?
My "iPhoto" or "Mail" automatically reduces photos to about 40 KB .
My photos, taken with a common Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 include flora which I send to a publisher.
I am fairly new to my MacBook (Mac S X Version 10.6.8). I have been using it for a year.
I found I could not successfully send Large or Full size photos.
A few days ago I downloaded a new version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1).
Again, although I get the option of choosing to send small/medium/large//full size photos, it actually only sends them as "Small" (ie about 40kb) which is useless to publish. If I drag a picture onto the desktop (where my EXIF tells me it is full size) then attach it to an email by dragging, againg the sent email is at "small" size ~40KB).
My ISP (Westnet) tells me that their maximum accepted size is 12 MB.
I suspect that I have failed to set up iPhoto for this purpose. (I am well into retirement but, although geriatric, did study University Physics about half a century ago)

My iPhoto Library (version 8.1.2) is 280GB (greater than 50% of my 500GB total storage memory on my iMac. It was too large for me to drag it to a new hard drive so the Apple geniuses did it for me. However they did not delete the Library from my iMac (that's my responsibility). I dragged it to Trash and when it started to move I clicked over to the new hard drive to confirm it had indeed been copied. I became nervous when I didn't see among the few files on this otherwise empty new hard drive anything that resembled a 280GB Library so I cancelled the migration to trash.
How can I be sure that my iphoto has been copied and that all my "metadata" survived in tact?

the new backup drive
I thought the new drive would be your data drive to host the iPhoto library. Do you also use it for TimeMachine backups?
I am unable to search either in email as well as Finder. I AM able to search within iPhoto though, thankfully
Spotlight may still be busy rebuildig its index.
You could try to rebuild the Spotlight Index, if you do see no progress:
Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
I hope, other frequent posters will drop in. I have not used iPhoto 8.x in long time.

Will iPhoto '09 version 8.0.2 (402) work within Mountain Lion??

I have downloaded Mountain Lion but hasn't installed. Currently running on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Before I install mountain lion I wanna make sure the iPhoto version I have will still work, as I can't live without it? Not sure I want to pay another £10 for it from the App store, to be honest...
Thanks!
Chloe

iPhoto '09 works in Mountain Lion without any problem. However, you are running an outdated iPhoto version, so open  > Software Update, and install the most recent iPhoto '09 version before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

I have iphoto 9 (version 8.1.2). When I opened up iphoto it said that I had 0 pictures (it had over a 1,000) prior. My screen saver was and has been set to a foler in iphoto and still displays the photos. How do I retrieve my pictures?

When opening Iphoto (Iphoto 9 version 8.1.2) I went from hundreds of photos to 0. I looked in my harddrive and could not locate the pictures under library or photos. I tried rebuilding the system (ctl. alt. and opeing the program). I would assume all my pictures are lost except for when my screen saver runs, I still see all of my old photos. How can I retrieve my photos?

go in to finder than photos they should be somwhere in there. after you find them select add to iphoto

Trouble upgrading from iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 to latest version

Currently, I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 and want to SAFELY upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto (and I have already upgraded to Lion). I've heard about a lot of lost data when doing this! I started by trying to install version 9.0.1 it won't load on my hard drive saying that I need to install version 9.0 first. I thought about just going ahead with iPhoto '11 but I'm confused and don't want to risk losing data. Any suggstions?

Make a back up before upgrading anything.
Somewhat confusing but iPhoto 11 and iPhoto v9 are the same thing. 11 is the marketing name for version 9 of iPhoto - like 09 is the marketing name of version 8 of iPhoto.
To upgrade to iPhoto 11 (v9) you need to purchase it. You can do this on the App Store.

Free Upgrade from iPhoto 09 (Version 8.1.2)?

I'm confused on the new policy on iPhoto '11.
Here's my situation: Early 2009 iMac, running Mavericks. I have iPhoto 09 (Version 8.1.2) installed on the computer.
Based on this from Macrumors, it seems that I should be able to upgrade for free to the latest iPhoto. http://www.macrumors.com/2013/10/24/apple-offering-free-updates-to-all-users-of- aperture-iwork-and-ilife-not-worried-about-unethical-users/
Or this free upgrade for those users that already have iLife 11 installed?
Thanks and I apologize if I'm beating a dead horse here.

The free upgrade is for those who already have iPhoto 11 installed. You'll need to pay I'm afraid.

Unhiding photos? Iphoto 09 version 8.1.2

No matter what I try... I mistakenly hide photos. I found them in the 'trash' and restored them to my library and eventually got them to appear in the 'faces' library but they have an X in the upper right hand corner. I want to remove this so it appears as though I never hide the pictures.
I read if I right click on the picture with the 'X', I should get a menu to select 'show', but I can't find anything and the 'X' remains. Help please.
This is for Iphoto 09 version 8.1.2

Command - l will hide photo, and doing it again will unhide (and remove the Red X)
Or look under the Photos Menu. Select a Pic with the Red X and the option will become 'Unhide...'
Regards
TD
