IPhoto 11 - 9.4.2 issues

I've noticed a few issues with the last set of upgrades to iPhoto 11 9.4.2 and iOS 6. Here's what I'm experiencing.
My iPhone won't get recognized by iPhoto at all unless I restart my Mac. I find this annoying. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but it seems like a bug to me so I'm hoping it gets resolved with a future update. I can't find any additional settings which would enable it to work without issue.
My iPhoto has been more suspectible to crashing and has crashed a couple of times while doing slideshows recently. Annoyingly, I even completely lost a slideshow that got corrupted. Luckily easy to make new ones so I made a new one, but still annoying.
Just wanted to log this in case others experienced similar issues and had any advice. Otherwise, I hope Apple is working on fixing it up.

Unlikely to be a bug as you're the only person who's mentioned this on here. Sounds more like a local issue.
Try trash the following file
com.apple.ImageCaptureNotifications.DeviceDiscoveryDatabase.501
from HD/Library/ Caches
and restart your mac.
See if that helps.
As for the crashes: Post the first 50 lines only of the crash report

All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

Aperture + iPhoto for iOS resolution issues

I'm trying to test out syncing some of my photos from Aperture 3.2.3 to iPhoto for iOS 1.0 (173) on an iPhone 4S in anticipation of getting my new iPad. Unfortunately, I'm running into problems. It seems no matter what I do, my images appear as 3.6MP.
My understanding is that iTunes syncs the previews generated by Aperture to iOS devices instead of the original files. I'd be happier with the originals, but I can live with just previews. My main goal right now is to use the iPhone/iPad as a sorting device: eliminate the garbage and then do final editing on my color calibrated iMac.
In Aperture, I've made a test project that I'm syncing with iTunes. I only have one photo in there. In Aperture's Preferences, under Previews, I set the following:
New Projects automatically generate previews: checked
Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible: unchecked
Share previews with iLife and iWork: Always
Photo Preview: Don’t Limit
Photo Preview quality: 12 High
I Deleted the Preview of my image, then Generated a Preview (holding option while right clicking). I quit both Aperture and iTunes and relaunched Aperture. Launched iTunes, unsynced my Project with my phone, opened iPhoto on the phone to make sure the image/project was gone, quit iPhoto on phone and resynced.
I’m still ending up with a 3.6MP image even though the original is 16.1MP (5.01MB).
Images from the built in camera on the iPhone 4S show up as full 8MP images, so I don’t think it’s a megapixel limitation.
I just tried Exporting a Master from Aperture to a folder and then syncing that folder. Same exact issue occurs after syncing with iTunes: 16.1MP image changes to 3.6MP. 3264x4928 px changes to 1536x2319 px.
I wonder if it’s an iPhone limitation. I’ll have to do more testing when my iPad arrives.

I believe the the Previews are optimised for use on the iOS device, hence the reduced size.

Iphoto emailing and "events" issue

I am not sure if these issues are related. 2 weeks ago I began having and issue where 3 of my events had no key image. It also said there were 0 photos in the event. If you clicked on the event, you could still see there were photos in there. I did a little research and discovered that I may have caused this when I emptied iPhotos trash recently. I didn't know this had to be done and there were several thousand photos in there. Since then I have also updated to Yosemite. I have now noticed that I cannot email photos from iPhoto anymore. I can go through all the steps but after I hit send, the wait bar goes to the end and nothing happens. I let it sit overnight once and it was still waiting. I assume these issues are related to either me emptying the trash or updating to Yosemite. Anyone have any ideas how fix this? I am using OSX 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account that's there. Then add it back and try to email again.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as iPhoto's email client in iPhoto's General preference pane. That allows you better access to Contacts, a sent copy created automatically and also has templates in the stationary section similar to iPhoto's. Mail is also more reliable.

IPhoto 11 Upgrade/Transfer Issue

Hi there,
I have just bought a new iMac and migrated over all of my content from my old MacBook where i had my Photo library installed on an external drive. This included an upgrade from Photo 9 to 11 and I installed the 9.1 update first as well.
The problem comes from the linking. When I originally started with iPhoto I imported pics into my library but had them sitting in two other folders, then after a while I put new pics straight into iPhoto itself so they were going directly into that folder.
All fine and this worked well, the problem now is since this move and upgrade all the links to the ones sitting in other folders are broken even though they still appear seemingly correct as links in the iPhoto/Masters directory. I cannot see a way of knowing exactly how many pics have broken links - it is thousands - and I can't see a way of fixing these links that is not the painfully slow one at a time method. Even this is a lot harder than it should be as I am getting constant bombardment of messages of Files Not Found for ones I am not even working on.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Craig

I had similar issues to those mentioned here after moving my iPhoto '09 library from an iMac to a MacBook and then upgrading the library to iPhoto '11. What I had forgotten to do before the upgrade was also copy the referenced folders where many of my older pics were.
I had to go through a painstaking process of fixing the records in the RKMaster table. The problem you are getting, I believe, is because iPhoto '11 no longer uses the file aliases that iPhoto '09 used. What it does instead is store the location of the referenced file in the BLOB column fileAliasData in the RKMaster table. If you use SQLiteManager you can save the contents of a BLOB column to a file, which in this case is in plist format. Inside the plist you'll see a key called FileAlias with some base64 encoded data. That data points to where the original file is/was, which probably has a reference to your old server.
The only solution I found was:
- copy all my referenced images to the folder structure under Masters in the iPhoto Library folder
- put the correct path in imagePath in RKMaster
- set fileIsReference = 0 and fileAliasData = null in RKMaster so that iPhoto now treats the file as managed, and not referenced.
Note, that if a file is under the Masters folder structure, the path in imagePath must be relative to the Masters folder. For example, if the image file is in /Users/kevin/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2008/Christmas/img001.jpg then what you need to put in imagePath is just 2008/Christmas/img001.jpg. iPhoto assumes this is under the Masters folder for non-referenced images.
Incidentally, you can use the steps above to convert any referenced files in your library to managed, allthough it's pretty tedious. I did it, and it was worth it as I now have my entire iPhoto Library inside the iPhoto Library folder which is completely transportable.
There are 2 things which Apple could have done a lot better:
- if you're upgrading an old iPhoto library, it should warn you if some of the files are unavailable, because you won't find out about it until you try to edit one of the files (the thumbnails are still there), by which time it might be too late to recover the old files
- there should be an option for consolidating an iPhoto Library which is a mixture of managed and referenced into the iPhoto Library folder to be completely managed, just as iTunes lets you do for music.

IPhoto rotating randomly, scrolling issues

since updating to iPhoto 6.0.6, photos that appear in portrait in the top thumbnail viewer then flip to landscape in full mode when viewed, as well, when scrolling up or down using the scrollbar on the right, the program flips back to the selected photo instead of remaining where you have scrolled to
is anyone else experiencing similar problems?
cheers
Tony

Tony:
What system version are you using? One of your posts indicates 10.4.9 and the second 10.4.7. Which is it? Also which version of Quicktime? The latest is 7.1.5. The 10.4.9 update and 7.1.5 QT update fixed a number of problems that iPhoto had.
If you're not at those versions run the 10.4.9 COMBO updater and the QT updater followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility.
If you're at 10.4.9 and got there by the Software Update route, try running the COMBO updater. It can fix issues that the incremental updaters cannot.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto 11 - slideshow music issue on manual picture change

Hi community,
do you experience the same behaviour?
When navigating through the pictures in an iPhoto 11 slideshow manually e.g. by using forward and backward arrow keys, then the music always stutters or let's say "jumps" a little bit. Very annoying!
Does anybody have the same issue? Does anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
Flo

Yes. iPhoto is jumping to the music synced to that slide when you use the advanced arrow key. That's normal. The only solution is to let the slideshow play itself out.

SL + iPhoto '09 = Strange import issue

Since moving to Snow Leopard, I've had a few occasions of strange import troubles.
The last three times I've imported images off my card 1-3 RAW images have been jacked up, with the top part of the photo looking normal, but the rest of the image looking like it's scrambled cable.
I deleted the bad imported images (and a few others) and tried reimporting the images. The ones that were bad the first time come out fine but others might have the same issue.
Any idea what's going on??
Thanks!
Jake

Some things to try:
Use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) (or the Finder if your Camera mounts on the Desktop) to move the files to a Folder on the desktop and then try import them from there. This will tell us if the problem is between iPhoto and the Camera or local to iPhoto.
If the problem persists with the files imported from the desktop: Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

IPhoto - Sharpness and Softening Issue

Hi, I think the iPhoto sharpness issue is quite annoying as I like to just view the photos quickly in the edit mode and to fit the edit window size. But they just don't look sharp enough. I have tried the trial version of AcdSee for Mac and the preview looks a lot sharper and lively. But it seems that AcdSee is not making the software fo Mac anymore, is there any other suggestion for a quick photo management software that display the true sharpness and resolution of the photos?

What format is that disk?
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.

IPhoto slide show; Photoshop issues with external keyboard

I have an external keyboard and an Apple Cinema Display connected as peripherals to my aluminum 15" PB. The keyboard is connected through the Apple Cinema Display. When I disconnect the keyboard to take my PB on the road, I cannot view a slide show in iPhoto nor can I use some photo editing tools in Photoshop. Any ideas as to how I resolve this issue?
Thanks; it took me quite a while to identify this problem.
Kathy

I've asked the hosts to move this topic to the iDVD forum as that's where you'll get the best portential solutions to your questons. It can be done in iDVD but alternatives have been discussed in the iDVD forum many times.

IPhoto 9 Facebook sync issues

Hi,
I was playing about in iPhoto when it started to automatically sync to my online Facebook albums. I hadn't made any changes in them, so there was no need for this to happen.
Once it started syncing I was unable to quit iPhoto until it had finished, but the process never completed despite being left over night. I was able to force quit the application, but that doesn't really resolve the issue as iPhoto wasn't really usable while the sync was being performed (probably a performance issue on my mac).
Anyone had this / have any ideas? It's version 9.1.3

Had the same thing happen again. A Work around seems to be to delete your Facebook account from iPhotos accounts list. You wont be able to upload directly to FB as a result, but in my case as soon as the never ending sync started iPhoto became practically unusable anyway, so it's not much of a loss.
You might need to stop airport initially to allow you to delete the FB account, as you can't do that while it's syncing either.

IPhoto Slideshow Music Settings Issue

I'm having an issue with Slideshows in iPhoto where there will be a long list called "Folders" when I am setting up the music. This happens in both the actual Slideshow and the creating of a Slideshow. I've installed iPhoto on 3 other computers and all of those computers did NOT have a Folder at the bottom, where mine does and opens into this huge mess. Scrolling manually through this takes a long while and makes setting up Slideshows a lot slower. Does anyone else have this issue and or a fix? Thanks!
Here is an image if you want to see the issue:

Iphoto and i movie issue

how can i reinstall iPhoto and iMovie on my macbook air (if they are not shown on the purchases collumn in the app store)

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:

Reinstalling iPhoto : 08 and 09 Issues - PLEASE Help

I has iPhoto 08 that came with my MBP last year.
Then upgraded to iLife 09.
iPhoto 09 started to have problems since I upgraded to SL.
So I read in Apple support forum and decided to do a fresh install of iPhoto.
Uninstalled iPhoto 09. Removed all necessary files. Didn't touch the library.
Used my MAC OS X Install Disc 1 and 2 to reinstall iPhoto.
But now it says I have used a newer version of iPhoto to modify the library and iPhoto quits.
Uninstalled iPhoto again.
Ran my iLife 09 DVD. It installed iPhoto.
But it still says I have used a newer version of iPhoto to modify the library and iPhoto quits.
What should I do?!

Thank you sooooo much! You are just fantastic! 35000 posts? Even Jobs could not have managed that
Btw, can you tell me why my MBP SL trackpad is soooo darn sluggish and does not want to respond as well after upgrading to SL from L?
Thanks a lot once again. iPhoto issue has been resolved - at least it is working again. Now I have to see if the previous problems are there or not.

IOS iPhoto dslr size reduction issue

I have transferred full size photos from nikon dslr to ipad both through itunes synch (I think this process "optimizes" the photos and reduces their size) and also through various apps that transfer full resolution photos wirelessly from pc to ipad. I have not purchased the camera connection kit because I think this issue may still exist.
Issue: Following transfer of full size photos (for example a 4928 x 3264 6.20 mb 16.1 mp), when it is opened in iOS iPhoto, the size is 3.1, but pixel number remains the same.
I'm not shooting RAW, these are jpegs. Why the loss???
What causes the huge drop in photo size, but apparently keeping the same number of pixels. It makes no sense.
Thanks in advance.
iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

I'm not certain whether the information regarding My Photo Stream is applicable. According to the iPhoto for iOS app, the pixel count remains the same. I'd like to be able to edit full size photos in the iPhoto app on iOS.
It may be that OPENING the file in iPhoto for iOS converts the photos to the smaller size. This would make sense because in iPhoto for iOS, the edited file is not saved/viewable in the camera roll until it is exported there. So, I'm "guessing" this is what is going on (I'm assuming the sizes, etc from my opening post):
1)     On transfer to the iPad, a full size photo is placed in the camera roll;
2)     When the photo is opened in iPhoto for editing, it is compressed somehow to half-size (I don't know what this would actually be called), but the full-size photo remains saved on the camera roll;
3)     Photo that is edited in iPhoto is the half size (compressed, converted, modified...whatever you may call it);
4)     When the edited photo is exported to the Camera Roll, a new file is created in the Camera Roll to reflect the half-size photo.
So, looking back to my original question, can one edit full-size photos in iPhoto for iOS, I'm been unable to find a what to do it. It seems that iPhoto for iOS is arbitrarily cutting all photos in half....regardless of their original size. Very strange.
I agree, this is truly an orgonizational nightmare, but I'd just like a way to edit original photos on the iPad (away from home), then been able to transfer those full-size edited photos back to my computer when I return.
It appears impossible...
I'd be willing to try a different photo editing app, but I've been unable to find one as comprehensive on the iPad.

Iphoto / Sharing via Email issues with 10.10.2

Hope some one knows the answer ... I have had so many problems with iPhoto since covering across to Yosemite. This is the latest.
I am trying to share photos through iPhoto using e-mail. This has only just stopped working 36 hours ago. I have checked the e-mail server for incoming and outgoing issues by sending an e-mail and attaching a photo the usual way - no problem. When I try to do this through the SHARE option in iPhoto I get the following error message. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I am on the latest version of iPhoto 9.6.1. Thanks for any insight / help.

When I try to do this through the SHARE option in iPhoto I get the following error message. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I am on the latest version of iPhoto 9.6.1. Thanks for any insight / help.
If recreating the account does not help, the reason may be two-step verification. Did you recently enable two-step verification for iCloud?
Are you sending from your iCloud Mail address?
If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)
Re: I am having trouble e-mailing from iPhoto the message I get is E-mail server didn't recognise your username/password combination
