IPhoto '11 issue...

I have an iPhone 4 and when I connect to my Macbook Pro, iPhoto doesn't automatically pop up.  When I open iPhoto manually I don't see my device, instead it shows a generic Apple iPhone with no pictures.  Help!!

  • IPhone 4 iPhoto sync issue

    Last week my camera roll synced with my iPhoto just fine. Had the iPhone 4 for only 1 and a half weeks. 1st iPhone ever but still have a second gen iPod Touch. This week none of my pictures taken from this weekend are syncing with iPhoto. Changes since last week, I took a few pictures with photo swap but I uninstalled that. I've also taken 1 screenshot but this issue started before that screenshot. I also have synced my iPod touch once or twice with the same iMac.
    Everything in the camera roll but that screenshot was taken with the built in camera. I have a couple of videos in there. I've reset the phone a couple of times. I reset iSync. The other weird thing is that every time I open iPhoto it says my iPhone is connected and I can unmount it even when the iPhone is not connected. If I close iPhoto after unmounting the non-existent iPhone it is mounted again when I reopen iPhoto all without actually having my iPhone connected at any point.
    Any suggestions? It's pretty unacceptable when I thought I could rely on my iPhone as a decent digital camera.

    Try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup 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. 
    Click to view full size
    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.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • IPhoto '09 issues under Lion

    I'm running iPhoto '09 (8.1.2) under Lion (10.7.2).  I've been trying to make a calendar, but iPhoto seems to have issues.  I started by duplicating a calendar from last year and trying to apply a new theme.  This causes iPhoto to become unresponsive until I click on a different calendar in the 'Keepsakes' list on the left panel.  Additionally, adding photos to the project often doesn't work - I drag photos to the project but they don't appear in the photo list when I open the project.
    Does iPhoto '09 have any limitations under Lion?  I would upgrade to iPhoto '11 but the calendar theme choice is much more limited than iPhoto '09.
    thanks!
    Dan

    No there are no specific issues with iPhoto 09 and 10.7
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (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.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • IPhoto import issue

    I'm trying to import an iPhoto Library from my main Mac (Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 & iPhoto 7.1.5) onto a new Mac (Mac Mini running 10.9 and the very latest iPhoto) and am running into a major issue.
    Steps so far:
    1. Copy the iPhoto Library from the Mac Pro to a 2TB External Drive.
    2. Plug the external drive into the Mac Mini
    3. Launch iPhoto on the Mac Mini
    4. Import the entire library via from the external drive into iPhoto
    Naturally, this takes an eternity but at some point after importing the pics, I get the 'Finishing Import' for a while and then a window with the heading 'Unreadable Files'
    This tells me that there are four images that can't be imported because of an unrecognisable format but
    1. I can't tell which images these are as the file name is truncated due to the window size.
    2. iPhoto hangs (not responding in the Force Quit menu and also a spiining ball of doom)
    I can't even press the OK button because it's spinning wheel of doom time.
    If I knew which images they were I could remove them via 'Show Package Contents' and then do a re-import (as tedious as that is) but right now all I know is which folders they're in.
    I don't want to do a force quit but it looks like thats the only choice here unless anyone has some good suggestions?
    Any help greafully received

    On the Mac Mini I created a new test iPhoto library and imported 4 pics from an SDHC card via the slot on the back of the mac Mini and everything worked as expected.
    If the new library worked OK then try repairing your current library as follows: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto deleting issues and iTunes syncing issues with IOS 5 on my iPhone.

    While upgrading to IOS 5 my iphone (3gs) would not allow me to restore to back up so I had to restore to original settings, ugh, losing everything on my iphone. Thought this wouldn't be a problem but iTunes won't let me pick and choose what music I want to add anymore even though I have "pick checked music only" checked. It refers now only to full albums, etc, instead of whatever songs I want from each album. I had to create specific playlists with all the music I wanted on my iphone. And it only added one playlist. I have loads of space on my iPhone so don't know what the issue is. Does anyone know why I cannot add more than one playlist?
    Also, I discovered I can't delete iPhoto pics on my iphone. I can trash whatever I add to my Camera Roll but nothing else. I had to designate a specific folder for pictures from iphoto to be added to iphone and those I cannot delete. Anyone know what to do here as well?
    Thanks!
    Found answer to iPhoto question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7636294#7636294
    ...but still need help with music. thanks

    It's inside the iPhoto Library package.  Open it from the Finder as show in this screenshot:
    Then drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash, close the package, launch iPhoto and try again.

  • HT4236 Iphoto syncing issue from Mac to gen. 1 IPAD.

    I synced my photos from my iphoto on my Mac to my 1 gen. IPAD. I watched all of the photos being synced one by one. Once this was completed I tried to view my photos and there was nothing there that I had just synced. When I go to my summary page on my IPAD using ITunes, the memory was actually taken out of "other" instead of photo (the amount of memory it would have used the sync all of the photos I did). What would cause this, where can I view the photos? Has anyone else out there had this issue?
    Thanks!
    West Palm

    This is a long shot but close iPhoto, go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
    Look for a folder named iPod Photo Cache
    Move it to the Trash in the Dock. That's a folder that will be recreated then next time you sync.
    Launch iPhoto and try syncing the iPad again.

  • IPhoto profile issue explored

    I've read other posts here about the issue of dim and oversaturated photos in iPhoto. I am also experiencing this. Here's what I've learned.
    I've had a Canon Rebel XT for a couple years, and we use it exclusively with iPhoto. I've had no problems with it. I just sold it and got a Canon 40d. This is when I begin experiencing the problem. I usually shoot with my camera set to sRGB, but also experienced with this with Adobe RGB.
    If I import a picture with the 'assign colorsync profile' checked in iPhoto, the photo is dark. If I export the file and view in preview, the photo is dark as well. The preview info shows the profile: Camera RGB profile.
    When I de-select that option in iPhoto, the photo looks the same viewed in iPhoto. But when I export it, and view it in Preview, it looks correct. The preview info shows the profile as: '-'. When I look at an old picture taken with the Rebel XT, the preview info shows the profile as "Canon Digital Rebel XT". Interesting.
    Now, I took the same photo imported two different ways (with and without the iPhoto profile assign option), and copied them onto my Macbook Pro, which is running Leopard (my iMac runs Tiger). The photo imported with the iPhoto profile assign still shows 'camera RGB'. The one imported without shows 'sRGB IEC......'. Very interesting, that the sRGB profile assigned by my 40d is correctly shown in Leopard, but not Tiger. iPhoto also shows both photos properly on my MacBook Pro, as well as anything imported with or without the 'assign profile' option. Hmmm.
    So, on my iMac where I'm having the problem, I run the automator script by Mr. Toad to assign sRGB to a jpg, reload it into iPhoto and BOOM - looks correct.
    All this to say - I'm totally at a loss on how to solve this, and I'm wondering if any experts have any insight. It's obviously a problem with iPhoto and what profile it's using to view photos. I've seen others with this problem running Leopard, so I doubt this problem is exclusive to one version of OS X.
    Thanks in advance,
    - Kent Hooper

    I've been tearing my hair out with this. My problems began after installing Leopard and ILife 08. It wasn't just my 40D images that were dark. Suddenly all my 300D images from way back were dark too.
    I began to think it has something to do with the screen calibration and tried to re-calibrate using Supercal but couldn't even see the test patterns. Then I learnt that in Preferences/Universal Access (which I'd never touched) there is a contrast slider which was set way too dark. Putting this to 'normal' made my screen look much better (the stars came out on the Leopard desktop background!).
    My iPhoto photos now look about right. Perhaps different programs were choosing the take notice or ignore this contrast slider.

  • IPhoto 11 issues syncing via itunes and rebuilding database

    Hopefully someone can help here. I originally had an issue where some photos in an event would not sync. They are viewable OK in iPhoto, ut will not sync, even if they are renamed or editted. Based on some research I deleted the iPod photo cache to rebuild the Phone and iPad optimised versions. Now I can sync the event I had an issue with, but have another issue. Now I cannot sync all photos, events, etc.. I get "The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknonw error occured (-50). I can sync a subset, but seem to have an issue with 3 "Faces". If I go into iPhoto and look at all the photos that contain those Faces it all looks OK.
    My assumption is that this is some kind of corruption in the iPhoto database, So I have tried to use the tools to fix it. A reapir of the permissions works OK, but when I try to repair the library database it flies along to 69% and then gets stuck.
    I have put a lot of work into the faces and locations sections, so I would really like to fix this instead creating a new library.
    Any ideas?

    OK, some progress, btu not out of the woods yet.
    THrough trial and error I found that by deleting the 3 of my 'faces' that would not sync I can now sync all photos again. i have since recreated then and can still sync it all. it seems that I still have an issue with the iPhoto database though as a repair sticks at 69%
    I could live with this as it does not seem to be having an effect, but I am worried what it may mean in future.

  • Iphoto prints - issue sending an order

    I'm trying to send in an order to make prints from iPhoto.  Able to log in with Apple ID, I successfully select the number of prints, but when I place the order, the Assembly step doesn't do anything.  It says "your order is being prepared and uploaded"...but nothing happens.  Fast internet conneciton, no issues accessing iTunes etc.

    I've also just tried to boot in safe mode, and the trying to order. Nothing happened, it just kept assembling without moving at all.
    Trying to figure out, how I can get my photos from my iMac to my Macbook, and then have a try from there.
    This is really annoying, hope someone knows how to handle this problem.
    Thanks for the suggestion with Safe Mode Old Toad though...

  • Transfer itunes/iPhoto library issues

    Just purchased an additional mac (EOL iMac 17"). After transferring files from MacBook Pro, received "The file "iTunes Library" couldn not be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." iMac currently has iTunes v 6.0.4.
    (am currently downloading iTunes 7...hopefully will TCO iTune issue).
    Problem is now with iPhoto (6.0.5). Photo transfer went fine...was viewing tranferred photos when they suddenly dissappeared without any error. The library went from several thousand photos to 14 (no accidental deletion or moves).
    Has anyone had this problem? Luckily I have the photo's on external backup drive...

  • IPhoto 5 issues - should I update?

    I am having issues with cropping/editing photos in iPhoto. I can crop and edit the photos and on screen the changes appear, but the auto save feature does not work. Most of the time, the picture simply reverts back to it's original formatting no matter what I do. Sometimes it decides to save, sometimes not so much.
    I have an older iBook running with OS X 10.4.11 and I'm not sure if running a newer version of iPhoto will remedy the situation, or just crash my poor computer. I am new to Mac and I feel like I'm learning to walk all over again! grr...
    I see that there are others who have suffered with this same issue and I'm wondering if it's some kind of bug. Any ideas? (other than throwing the mac out the window and hooking up the old PC)
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
    If necessary backup the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and rebuild the library. Select all options.
    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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • IPhoto 11 issue ordering/shipping prints

    I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 v9.4.2 and am having trouble ordering prints.  When I try to edit shipping method or shipping address, the system either freezes or lets me continue, but when I hit "Buy" nothing happens.  Anybody see a similar issue?  Suggestions to fix?
    Running a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.2

    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.

  • IPhoto Importing Issues

    Every time I try to import photos from my sd card through iPhoto, the imported photos are corrupt (blank, lines, crazy colors). I can copy the photos direct from the sd card and import through Image Capture. I've tried rebuilding the library, creating a new one. I've tried importing the photos after they've been added to the computer through another method. I've been able to load the photos on to other computers and sites. I'm using OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 and iPhoto version 9.6. How can I resolve?

    Lots of folks have reported issues with Raw on 10.10. Have you applied the latest camera raw update? That's fixed it for some folks. Others have revert to an earlier version using the method mentioned in this thread:
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)

  • IPhoto Editing Issue

    I bought a new Mac mini, i can open iPhoto, and I can see the groups of photos, but when I try to open one to edit it I just get a black screen.
    When I adjust the zoom on the bottom left I get a really small version of the picture, but I can't get the picture bigger on my screen.
    I tried all the rebuilding options, and nothing seems to fix the issue.
    I don't have any screen issues to speak of otherwise.  I'm using a USB 3.0 Targus docking station to send to my 2 dual screen Samsung monitors.
    Mac Mini 10.10.1 with Intel Iris (Late 2014)

    <Subject Edited by Host>

    This is all I get.  Only after I adjust the slider for zoom on the bottom left.  It isn't adjustable, I can't make it bigger.  It's all I can see...and frustrating.
    If I don't adjust the zoom slider on the bottom, I don't even get that picture in the middle. its just black.
    All I did was synch my photo stream which is on my iCloud account.  I didn't import from prior Mac version as this is a new Mac, our first.

  • IPhoto Performance issues at 5,000 photos, /15Gb

    My name is Mike and we have a 17” flat-panel iMac – 800MHz G4. We have an 80Gb hard drive with 20Gb still free. iPhoto takes ~ 15Gb with a “mere” 5,000 photos, ~ 2,000 of which are from the 4 megapixel digital camera (2-3Mb per pic).
    I have experienced severe performance issues in the past few months as we approached and surpassed 5,000 photos (I almost exclusively work with only iPhoto running). First-tier apple 800-support suggests that I need more memory than the current 512k. Process Viewer shows that iPhoto consumes from 10-90% of CPU cycles and usually 40-55% memory, with very infrequent “spikes” to 66.7%. (only Process Viewer and iPhoto are running.) iPhoto consumes ~ 33-37% of memory when “just sitting there” – when it’s open and “doing nothing else”… I’m just moving the mouse on the screen to keep the screen saver from kicking in.
    Does anybody agree with the assessment that we just need more memory? If it works, and performance improves, do I have reason to believe that we are going to max out ~ 10,000 photos (twice the memory leads to almost twice the pix before performance degrades (drive size notwithstanding)?
    Also, if more memory is the solution, then what about the machine prevents memory consumption over 66.7%? I’d expect the spikes to be closer to 80% or 90%.
    Do newer iMacs have similar issues?
    What is the recommended size of the 25,000 pictures Apple notes as the amount all our iPods should be able to hold? If the photos are ~ 2.5Mb apiece (4 megapixels have been “standard” since 25,000 was first mentioned, and is arguably “small” compared to the newer 5 & 6+ megapixel cameras flooding the stores today), 25,000 would consume ~ 62.5 Gb by my math – larger than all iPods.
    On a related note, are iMacs similar to other machines, where their overall performance, iPhoto and otherwise, degrade as drive consumption approaches and surpasses 80% or 90%?
    The Apple Store personnel agreed to help me test and install the memory… I will just be “stuck with the memory” whether or not it works, and I’d like to avoid any unnecessary purchased.
    Any and all help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Michael,
    I have the same computer, same ram, 26 gigs free.
    I have a 3,000 image library at 3 gigs in size.
    I use a Canon camera which does not make larger Makernotes in the EXIF data.

    -Will more memory help speed iPhoto up. It sure will and many have noted that it has.
    -the images are converted to a smaller size before they are synced to the iPod.
    -There are steps you can take to speed up scrolling in the iPhoto Library.
    do not use shadows
    do not use outlines
    use white for background
    view by rolls and keep the rolls closed
    when viewing images keep them around 5 or less across in the rows
    choose not to "show photo count for albums"
    Since your images are quite large it is also advisable to make multiple libraries. Smaller libraries will load and work faster. Use the Option key when launching iPhoto to create and switch between libraries.
    You can also use iPhoto Library Manager or iPhoto Buddy to manage your libraries.
    iPhoto Library Manager
    iPhoto Library Manager documentation
    this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
    You can also try iPhoto Buddy
    You should have a t 15% free space on your hard drive. Things get slow after that.
