IPhoto '11 and OSX screensaver
On my machine anyway, iPhoto '11 breaks the iPhoto slideshow option in OS X's screensaver. The iPhoto albums no longer show up as an option in the scrolling list to select a screensaver.
Anyone know of any workarounds?
Make sure iPhoto is fully up to date (version 9.1.3), Load your iPhoto library backup and convert your library again
Or provide a lot more information than "my library is a mess" - maybe there is some assistance that someone can give you if they know more

Why does my iPhoto open and run slow since upgrading to OSX 10.8.5
Why does my iPhoto open and run slow since upgrading to OSX 10.8.5? I have an Imac - Intel 2.5 GHz quad core I5 - with 20 GB of memory. Before the upgrade it was much faster.

Trying to open old iPhoto library on osx 10.9.5 with iPhoto 9.5.1. iPhoto says I must upgrade but upgrade eventually hangs. Tried to rebuild/repair database but it always says you have to upgrade database first and eventually hangs
What version was the old library made with?
What is the exact message? when it hangs does it crash or do you have to force quit?

Hello people,
I can't update iPhoto after installing OSX 10.9.2, it has the name otto@**** in the apple ID box and will not let me change it. Any thoughts?
Thanks
<Email Edited By Host>You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method. -
I have iphoto7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album I creared LESS THAT A YEAR AGO!!!. Apperently I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system What can I do?
Your profile signature is confusing. There it says "iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)". But your question mentions older systems: " iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system"
Do you have two different Macs? If you have a second mac with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), you could upgrade that to MAvericks and buy the most recent iPhoto '11, version 9.5.1 from the App Store. That would be the least expensive solution to upgrade your iPhoto.
If you only have iPhoto 7 on OSX 10.6.8, you can can buy the boxed iLife '11 installer package from Amazon. This will install an early version of iPhoto '11, that runs well with your current system and will let you print your book. You will need to run the iPhoto library upgrader to convert your old library, see: iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
Also, you should be aware, that upgrading your library may change the book layout a bit, because the themes have changed between the versions, so you need to keep a backup copy of the library and iPhoto 7, to be able to compare the upgraded version to the original.

Using IPhoto 11 9.4.3 and OSX 10.8.5 when I download from my Nikon P1 Coolpix it takes hours. So far I have not been able to download a flipping pic. Please help me ?
Can you clarify:
it takes hours. So far I have not been able to download a flipping pic
Either it takes hours to download or you are not able to download at all.
How are you trying? Have you tried alternatives? A Card Reader? Different USB Cable? When did you last reformat the camera card? -
IPhoto 9 (8.1.2 (424) and OSX 10.6.4) will not import jpg's
I purchased and installed iLife '09 yesterday. After downloading the latest software updates to iPhoto 9 (8.1.2 build 424) and OSX (10.6.4) I cannot import jpg's into iPhoto. It says "The file is in an unrecognized format." Under GET INFO, the file kind is "JPEG Image". This same photo imported just fine in iPhoto '08. Obviously, iPhoto '09 is designed to import jpg's. How do I fix this?
Thank you, that worked. I was able to import random jpg's, but NOT able to import any jpg from a scanned picture from my Lexmark X7675. They all failed, but other jpg's imported fine. So the problem is with the scanner. I downloaded the new drivers, but that didn't work. I'll now exit this forum and take up the issue with Lexmark. Thanks for your help.

My screensaver preference was set at showing the last 12 months of iPhotos on my Mountain Lion. Just updated to Maverick and now it shows "no photos." Tried to reset, but it does not give me the option to personalize using my iPhotos as an option to do so. I do not want to use what Apple has chosen, but want my pictures. How do I get this back?
You need to upgrade to the latest 64 bit Mavericks optimized, compatible version of iPhoto.
Older versions of iPhoto will no longer work under OS X Mavericks.
What will happen is that the new iPhoto library will be updated to work the new version of iPhoto an Mavericks and the updated iPhoto library will no longer be accessible to older versions of iPhoto or older versions of OS X.
If you want to be able to access the current configuration of your Libary with older version of iPhoto an older versions of OS X, then you need to create a copy of the IPhoto lIbrary and move this copy to another location
You can save the duplicate iPhoto Library anywhere on your Mac's internal hard drive.
I created a new folder in my Home folder/directory called My Photos and stored the duplicate iPhoto library there along with other images I didn't want to be in iPhoto.
As long as the copy of the iPhoto library is made before you let the new version of iPhoto convert it, it will still be intact for older versions of iPhoto and OS X to access at some future date, if needed. -
Upgraded to OSX 10.8.5 and have consistently updated software as provided
Now having trouble with iPhoto 8.1.2 -- frequent freeze-up, color wheel, etc. Advice?Your iPhoto library may need repairing or rebuilding. See Old Toad's post an how to get to the Photo Library First Aid Tools:
Rebuilding iPhoto Library for iPhoto '09 and Earlier
But I'd strongly recommend to upgrade to iPhoto '11, since you are using Mt. Lion. iPhoto 9.3.2 and later are the only iPhoto versions built for Mt. Lion.
The upgrade to iPhoto '11 is not a free update. You will have to buy iPhoto from the app Store.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout? I prepared 3 books in iphoto 08 and wanted to order them yesterday. I got the message, that this version is not supported anymore. I also have a macbook osx 10.8.1. However I did not manage to transfer the books to it. What can I do? I really would not like to recreate the books from scratch in th new version.
You will have to convert your 08 library to iPhoto 11 by copying the library to your Macbook and opening it with iPhoto 11.
However, check to see if the theme you're using in 08 is available in 11. If it isn't you'll probably lose the book or be assigned to some other theme.
If the theme you've chosen isn't available in 11 find one that is available in both versions and convert to it in the 08 library before you move it to 11.

I use my iPhoto library to run randomly as my screen saver. This has worked fine until I updated to iphoto 08 and now some of my photos are blurry on the screen saver. They are fine in iPhoto. Anyone know how to fix this.
It appears that iPhoto 8 now stores a low-ish resolution thumbnail of every (?) image -- I think your screensaver was grabbing those instead of the original-resolution images.
These appear to be scaled-down so that the largest dimension is 360 pixels, which will certainly look godawful as a full-screen screen saver. I'm guessing that these exist so that iPhoto 8's Events view has a known image resolution to quickly access when you drag over to get image previews.
The images are in the "Data" folder, inside the iPhoto library package that gets created when you convert your old iPhoto 7 library folder.
I managed to get what I think should be your old functionality by doing the following (not quite as elegant, but functional...):
• Make a folder somewhere. e.g. "iPhoto slideshow folder"
• Open the iPhoto library package by right-clicking on it and selecting Show Package Contents
• Make aliases of the "Modified" and "Originals" folders
• Put the aliases in your new "iPhoto slideshow folder"
• Then open up System Preferences and point the screen saver to this new folder.
It should resolve the aliases to find your normal images, without seeing the Data folder that has all the low-res images in it.
Ideally, the screen saver would have a setting to reject images below e.g. a certain resolution, but this should be a servicable workaround.
Hope this helps!

HT1338 Transferring iPhoto events (and all pictures inside) between MacBook Pro's
I have an old Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.5.8) and I want to switch the iPhoto "Events" and all pictures/video in each "event" to my newer Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.7.5). How do I do this? So far, when I transferred my photos, they are all in one jumbled mess
If you wan to merge 2 library incase you can try this iPhoto Library Manager.

I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?
I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it
No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8
You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
Bear in mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too. -
Iphoto disappeared in OSX lion!
I had the entire ilife suite installed in snow leopard along with lots of iphoto and garageband projects, and when I upgraded to OSX lion it all disappeared. To add to that I now have to go to the mac app store to purchase them if I want them now ***!
Here's your solution:
ok...I had the same problem. I did a fresh install of Lion on a new imac and couldn't find iphoto.
Make sure you've registered your computer and copy of Lion and go to the Mac App Store...not the one in iTunes but the one that sits as a seperate app on your dock (or in your applications folder).
Once logged in you can go to the 'purchases' tab. You should see options to accept and download your missing iLife software there. (ie iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand). It looks like iDvd was scrapped in this latest release unfortunately.
