IPhoto '11- Cannot Export using "File Export"

I just upgraded from iPhoto '09 to iPhoto '11. I imported photos off my iPod touch and edited them. After editing them however, I can't export them to anywhere on my computer. Even before editing I cannot export them.
I've tried:
-Creating a folder manually in Finder
-Creating a folder in iPhoto during the export setup
When it starts to export, it suddenly says it could not create the new folder, despite it already existing. It says it cannot export the photos to any folder either. I've repaired Permissions in iPhoto (as well as in Disk Utility).

Hello All,
I'm quit new with Mac.... and I am wondering hoe to export all my pictures to a Hard Drive that could easily be read where with Mac or Windows.
I've tried the export option, but it just stops after some thousands pictures ( I have almost 13'000 photos). Any idea why this is happening? Is this because I have some .AVI files saved on my iPhoto events?
This might be an issue with the format of your (external, I presume) hard drive. It would be worth trying exporting your files into several directories (folders). Perhaps try about 1000 in each directory.
Can you pin down any particular file that causes iPhoto to stall? If so, is it particularly large, does it work OK in iPhoto, will it fit onto your disc etc?
Regards.

  • Message: cannot import xml, even after exporting using file, export, xml, and not touching the file

    I need to change the messages for a different language.  Has anyone been able to set this XML file to import?  Some of the content is in Norwegian, but don't how that will affect it. But it will not import a file, even if it was just exported.

    Hi Patrick,
    I tried few import/export scenarios in captivate 7 and it works fine for me. I think it will be a good idea if you can mail me the .xml file along with steps to reproduce the issue.

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

  • I have tried to use File - Export to reduce the size of my pics to send via email and all I get is a blank pic.  How do I reduce the size of the photo and still have the photo?

    I have tried to use File > Export to a folder on my Desk top to reduce the size of my photos and all I get is a blank, grey screen.  How do I reduce the size of my pics so I can email them?

    Where are you getting this screen?  In iPhoto after selecting the File ➙ Export menu option? If that's the case try this:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/() Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences..
    You can resize photos outside of iPhoto with 3rd party applications like Resize!.
    Click to view full size
    With it you can change both the pixel size and file size of the photo to the size that suits your needs.  For other such apps go to MacUpDate.com and search for "image resize" to get a list of potential candidates.

  • Marketing campaign: e-mail using file export

    Hello,
    I have a few questions about the marketing part in Cloud for customer.
    1) Our prospect has an external solution to send out e-mails. So we choose the campaign type 'e-mail using file export'. Is it possible to add the response options to the excel file and upload the answers afterwards back into C4C?
    2) Can we use these results for reporting or create a new target group based on these response options?
    Best regards,
    Niels Gelders

    Hi Niels,
    In the export file format you can include the response code for use in the execution system, but we cannot upload these from the same file afterwards as far as I understand.  You have to manually create the responses in the C4C UI itself.
    Regarding question 2: Janina has the correct answer.  Additionally if you can export the information you want to xls you can always create a new target group from an xls file as well.  The only catch with that is if you need to have more than one export, you need more than one TG and then a master TG that contains them all.
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    - Check the security level of the "Trusted sites" zone, make sure it is set to "Low"
    - Make sure you do not have a yellow warning bar
    - Make sure you are not accessing the application through dev60cgi/f60cgi
    - Verify that you have sufficient space in the tablespace (Check init<SID>.ora for any errors)
    - Check the export on some other modules to determine whether the issue is across all Apps or with a specific module only

  • Exporting alpha numeric values using File Export Excel option

    Hi,
    When we export the report output to excel using the option file /export/excel/fully formatted grids and text, the text where we have alphanumeric characters, only the number component is getting exported. An example is 'Switch - Cisco 3750 (Goa) '. When the report data is exported, we can see only 3750 in the excel file. How do we fix this issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Try exporting in the 'fully formated grids and text'. It shouldl give you the 'member alias' used in the report.
    Looks like if you export in the 'querry ready grids and text' it will show the 'member name' as in database although the report may have used the 'member alias'.

  • Cannot open .mov files exported from FCP X 10.0.9

    I am trying to export an H.264 version of a 422 file for use on Vimeo.  When I go to my desktop and click on the exported file to check it I get a message that says the file type is unsupported.
    Neither my old nor new Quicktime programs will open the file.  I've also failed at directly uploading the clip to Vimeo.
    I need help! 
    My operating system is 10.7.5, would this cause the error?
    Thanks,

    Exporting from 10.0.9
    I used the Share button and tried both "Master File" and "Export File" to save an H.264 version to my desktop. 

  • CS5 cannot open .idml file exported from CS6

    I've seen this question before from people having problems with other versions of InDesign. I, too, am having an issue with plug-ins that do not allow me to open an idml file. I downloaded the script that verifies the version used to create the idml to be sure it really was made from CS6, not CS5.5. It's not an empty file as it is 3.3mb Interestingly, when the customer packaged the file it came up with no links. It's a 32-page document with lots of photos, graphics, etc. How it is possible that it would not have any links? Any suggestions short of having to upgrade to CS6 would be helpful. Thank you.

    Hi Peter,
    I'm guessing it might have been a network corruption problem. She brought in her laptop, we made another .idml file and loaded it to a USB stick, then transferred it to my computer. The file opened just fine. And yes, she had pasted all her images, so we have her collecting the bits and pieces for me to review and relink everything. I believe I have the patch, but will double-check. Thanks!

  • IPhoto 11 file export tab missing

    I am using iPhoto 9.1.5. When I choose File>Export, the file export tab is missing! Is there a fix for this? I am trying to export with saving the edits and title.

    First try the following: make a duplicate copy of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't fix it you'll have to reinstall iPhoto. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

  • File Export, file size huge, burn to disc?

    I am new at this and confused.
    I created an Album in IPhoto which contains all 4,749 of my pictures. In the Info box at bottom left in IPhoto, its size is 8.4GB.
    I exported this album to a folder on my Desktop using File>Export & choosing JPEG maximum quality, full size & include titles & keywords. When I check Get Info for that folder, its size is 22.62GB. That's nearly 4 times bigger. Can that be right?
    I want to copy the folder on my Desktop to a CD or DVD . So if I have a DVD that says it can hold 4.7GB, I'm going to need 5 discs to copy the whole folder--?
    I have Time Machine backing up my IMac but I wanted a copy of my pictures with their titles to be able to load on a Windows machine. Am I on the right path here?
    Thanks so much!

    Sorry to be so fragmented in my responses but I just started to try re-exporting using Original and when I choose KIND: Original, I am no longer offered the option of including Titles and Keywords.
    One of my goals is to make a backup version of my pictures which are not tied to the IPhoto software--just in case someday I would need to load them into non Apple-friendly software--basically to have a copy of them in their original format, like they are on the memory cards they were taken with. I see that I can accomplish that by choosing KIND: Original.
    However, I also want to be able to preserve all the titles I have given them. I had understood from an earlier post (probably from you) that most photo software would have the capacity of displaying the title files. Is there any combination of choices in the Export menu I can use to produce a copy of my pictures with quality as good as they were originally and keep my titles? I have done very little editing of my pictures so preserving changes is not an issue.
    Many many thanks for sharing your expertise.

  • File -- Export in oracle apps forms- headings missing

    We have a custom form for our custom billing processes. It lists all the draft invoices that are ready to be released along with multiple custom fields. We are using File -> Export to export the data to excel file.
    once exported, the some of the column headings are missing in the excel file. can someone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    This problem is because of the field heading.
    So You have done like this first creating a text item and the you will manually create a heading using Text correct.
    Don't do that, delete that and go to the property palette and give the Item heading in the PROMPT and check now its will work.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Raw files exporting in JPG coming out too low resoltion?

    I am somewhat new to using a mac/aperture vs. PS/PC . I have uploaded and edited my photos in RAW. I am having trouble with the program downscaling my photos too much. I have changed the preset to high quality JPEG and the quality up to 12. But, for instance, my file size in RAW (22.65 MB) is scaling itself down to 684KB(JPEG) when i try to export or burn it to disk. I am great with a camera, but lacking in computer skills!, so I apologize if this doesn't make complete sense or if i'm missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    How are you exporting? Dragging from the browser or using File > Export > Version?
    If you're using the export function, what is your export preset?
