Iphoto 5 Source List

I don't know how to find Source List for Iphoto 5. It was on left side of window, I fell asleep with hands on keyboard, and awoke with the source list gone. Preferences are no help. I've closed application and reopened, no help. Anyone out there have the magic formula to get source list back in the window?
thanks

Hi there,
Look on the left side of window, you should see a small dimple at the very middle of left. You should be able to left click and drag this open to the right and your source list should be there.

Can't get ipod to appear in iphoto source list

Hi,
I've just come back from a holiday with my camera, ipod and camera connector and I want to transfer all the photos I loaded onto the ipod into iphoto. From what I have read, it seems that the ipod should automatically appear in the iphoto source list... but this never seems to happen with my ipod colour (4G) and iphoto (5.0.4). I'm hoping its just a simple thing I've overlooked... can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
yoz

Hmm, seems somewhat intermittent. Plugged the ipod in this morning and iphoto recognised it fine. Resolved.... for now!

How to put iCloud back on my iPhoto source list

I accidentally denied iCloud to appear on my iPhoto source list. So now i can't add pictures on my photo stream and i really want to put the pictures on my i cloud. Apple's directions to add photos to photo stream were to first goto source list, but it some how got deleted from the list. On the side source list their should be a share title with iCloud under it but their isn't either anymore. Please help thanks in advance.

How can I remove Facebook from the iPhoto source list?

Lately when I use iPhoto it will not let me quit and I have to force quit. I recently moved to college where there are several separate internet routers. I realized I still had iPhoto sharing turned on from using it at home and thought that might be messing it up, but even after I turn off sharing it will not let me quit. I think it is a problem with Facebook because it asks, "still syncing would you like to stop and quit?" whenever I try to quit the program. I would like to just remove Facebook from my source list, but I can't figure out how. It used to ask me to sign in to Facebook if I wanted to upload pictures but now it doesn't so I have no idea how to make it quit syncing.

I found the solution in the community
Solution 1
Mac OS: Run the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove the program listed as up-to-date.
Windows: Use the Programs And Features Control Panel to remove the program listed as up-to-date.

Iphotos Source list will not display...

I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone could offer... I have a new ibook G4 with iphoto 5 [5.0.4 (263) to be exact] I am embarrassingly baffled by this system, as I cannot get my Source list to display whatsoever, and am therefore unable to organize my photos into albums. My photo library is the only thing that displays. Whenever I attempt to create a new file the file disappears, I assume, into the source list which seems unfindable... I am a complete newbie at this, so I am anticipating an enormously obvious answer to this dilemma, but it is an answer that is absolutely evading me, left to my own devices! Any help would be extremely appreciated!!

Hi Pamela,
Sometimes people can't get that source window open, even when they try to move the dot/dimple to the right.
First try to drag the button to show the column as show here
If that doesn't work, then you need to delete the Preference file. That info (size of the source window) is kept in the iPhoto Preference file.
Quit iPhoto
Open your User folder, then open the Library in your user folder, then open the Preferences in the Library folder.
In the Preference folder is a file called com.apple.iPhoto.plist
For now, drag that file to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if the source window is there or if you can open the source window. If you can, that means that Preference file you dragged to the desktop was corrupt. Put it in the trash.
IPhoto made a new one when it was launched. Open iPhoto Preferences and set your preferences again and you are good to go.

Event is on 'Hold' in iPhoto source list under 'Recent'?

In the source list in iPhoto, under 'Recent', I have one of my Events and it has the text 'Hold' next to it for some reason. Why is that? When I mouseover it, it says "Keep this Event in the Source List". Why is it there, and how do I remove it from there?

Get up to date - the current version of iPhoto i 7.1.3 - this error has been fixed since (I believe) 7.1.1
Run software update or go to the apple download page and update to 7.1.3 - if you do not stay up to date you are likely to have continuing problems that no one else has because they have been fixed

Disapperance of Book from iPhoto Source List

After restarting my Power Mac G5 following a software update, my Book and its duplicate disappeared from the source list in iPhoto. The 82 page Book contained over 200 photos with a file size of about 52 MB. Where did the Book and its duplicate go?

Sam:
A good way to preserve the book for future reference is to:
1 - do a print to PDf on the book in iPhoto
2 - just before you complete the ordering process (or simulating an order) find and save the pdf file that iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. Here's how to find it:
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto (for Panther the path is /private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto ), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.

IPhoto Source List

When I open IPhoto the source column list does not appear, How to get it back to show up on the left side?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you can't grab the edge of the window to open it try deleting the iPhoto Preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. When you open iPhoto again all settings will be set to the default and the left hand pane should be visible again.
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) 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

"events" is missing from iPhoto source list / left-hand menu

The "events" menu option is suddenly missing from the left-hand side menu of my iPhoto library. See screenshot:
Photos, Faces, Places, but no Events! It used to be there and now it's not, not sure what happened. When I open a different iPhoto library it is there, so it seems like a problem with my iPhoto library? I tried rebuilding the iPhoto database and that didn't fix it. The event data still seems to be there, when I browse the photos view pictures are still grouped by events. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm using iPhoto v 9.6 on Yosemite. Thanks in advance for your help!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Photo stream is showing up in iphoto recent but not web and I am not able to join the shared photo stream. all of my software is updated. can someone tell me how to get photo stream in the web source list? thanks!

Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software. iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5 All of my preferences are checked. I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac. The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone) - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title. Is this supposed to happen on the Mac? Thanks!

So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade.
Yes
Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update?
Yes
Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5. For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
iPhoto requirements are free updates for iPhoto '11

How can I share my source list in one mac to another

How can I share my Iphoto source list with my other mac

And can I assume that the libraries include all of the files, folders, albums?
Yes, assuming you're running Managed Libraries
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Yes I would recommend an externald drive.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

IPhoto Library won't show up in Source List.

My most recently updated iPhoto library is located on my main hard drive. Other older libraries are on a couple of external hard drives. When I close iPhoto, reopen and hold down the Option key, I am able to choose which library I want to use. I do so, but the most recent library will only leave the source list on the left of the iPhoto window with no photo. What do I need to do to 'connect' iPhoto with this library of photos? iPhoto 9.2.3

Sorry for not explaining fully. On the source list, everything under "Library" and "Recent" is populated with the photos as they should be. It is in the "Albums" list where all albums are blank (without the photos). That is what is puzzling. Anyone with a solution?

Adding photo to iPhoto 9.2.1 slideshow reorders Source list

Hi All
I have made a slideshow (100 photos) in iPhoto 9.2.1 and being careful duplicated the slideshow. I then added more photos to the duplicated Slideshow source list only to find the slideshow re-orders the list of photos. I've never experienced this problem before. Quitting and reloading doesn't stabilise the Slideshow.
I managed to add another 8 by adding 1 then couple at a time. But now trying to add more just 1 photo re-orders the list.
I've also turned off the music.
I never had a problem with 100+ slideshows with iPhoto before. Apart from trying to change the lead photo which would cause iPhoto to freeze.
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this issue and can anyone suggest a way around this ?
Thanks so much. JJ

I've had this very same issue and it's making me very upset. I'm looking for an answer to this!

No source list in iPhoto 08

I just upgraded to a newer iMac and iPhoto 08. Photos were transferred from the old machine. I saw all of them one time. There is no source list, so after opening an event I have found no way to navigate back and am stuck in the event. How do I turn on the source list?

Dale
Move your cursor to the extreme left of the Window until it becomes a +, then click and drag to the right.
If that doesn't work, try delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder
