IPhoto 5 won't publish to .Mac after Leopard install.

Ever since I installed Leopard (clean install) I have been having problems with iPhoto crashing while trying to publish a homepage to my .Mac account. I made sure it was fully patched (OS and iPhoto), repaired permissions, all the obvious stuff. Anyone else having this trouble or have a fix for it?
Regards.

After further review I found there was one more step to reproduce, and a solution.
Using the iPhoto batch change, I always use "short date". Those file names are imported without change to Aperture. iPhoto uses the "/" and apparently Aperture doesn't escape that Unix special character properly when writing or reading to the filesystem. So it gets interpreted as a directory!
BTW Aperture uses "-" as a separator for dates in filenames. So I am now changing the name on import to Aperture and all is well.
Seems weird answering my own question, but I hope this post helps someone with the same problem until Apple fixes this bug.

  • Burning smell from my Mac after Leopard install

    I think I've isolated the smell to a vent on the bottom left hand corner of the iMac. Anyone else get this or have thoughts on how to proceed? I have the Core Dual Intel iMac so I'm pretty sure it's out of warranty by now = (

    This is rather ironic, and a coincidence, as I too have had a similar experience. Having been using Tiger for some now, I upgraded to Leopard the other day, however having done so a rather odd burning smell started emanating from the rear vent of Mac. Although not an iMac it is however based on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (Mac Mini).
    It could be that the hardware started failing at the exactly the same time as the upgrade to Leopard . . . . but this is to much of a coincidence.
    I was therefore wondering whether there were any changes to the hardware settings as part of the Leopard upgrade, e.g. firmware upgrade, changes to the performance setting, etc,.

  • Fan  problem after Leopard install

    PowerMac Dual G5 - after Leopard install, fan between hard drive and optical drive revved up like the computer was going to blast off, faster and faster until I powered down by holding down the power button. Leopard seems to be working fine, but with the fan continuing to go at high speed at all times. I've tried reboot, reinstall, pull plug for a few minutes, remove CMOS battery, and zap PRAM, all to no avail. I haven't put the panel cover back on yet, and that may work, but I won't have time to mess with it for a few days and hope for some insight before I try that.Ideas?

    Problem went away. Must have been a ghost in the machine.

  • Kodak 5500 - cannot print after Leopard install

    Just want to throw this printer into the list of printers that do not work after Leopard install. I get a raster stream error. I have reinstalled Kodak software; deleted and readded printer, etc, etc,. Still now printing. Scanning works fine though!

    Much to my surprise, I received a reply from Kodak a mere few hours after emailing them on Sunday morning. They advised me that a new version of their all-in-one printer software (1.2.0 Release 3) for Leopard will be available on the web on Monday, October 29th.

  • After Leopard install I have 2 volumes of equal size

    After Leopard install I have 2 volumes of equal size. One has Leopard and the other has Tiger. How can I delete, remove, or get rid of the volume with Tiger on it? As I have upgraded to Leopard how can tell which one I have, i.e., 10.5 or 10.5.X?
    Thanks for your help.

    For some reason the Leopard installer kept your old Tiger partition instead of deleting it. It's probably your fault, but that doesn't matter...
    Before you do this, back up any data you still want from the Tiger partition. Also rename it to something that will differentiate it from your other volume(s?). Also back up your Leopard partition before any of this.
    Take your Leopard install disk, pop it in, reboot while holding C (or just click Install Leopard), choose a language, then from the menubar click Utilities, then Disk Utility. Once there, click your hard drive (not your Leopard or Tiger volumes) in the sidebar, go to the Partition tab on the right, click your Tiger volume's square (NOT YOUR LEOPARD VOLUME!!!), click the minus sign under that little graph, and click Partition. Then once that's done, drag the little resize line thingy on the bottom-left of your Leopard volume's square so that it fills up the entire area there.
    If you can't make the Leopard volume take up the entire drive, you'll have to wipe the entire hard drive and restore from a backup. Yes, you will have to unless you're okay with having less space then you can. (Why can't GParted resize HFS+?!?! WHY?!!?!?!!??!)

    Let me know if you figure out what happened

    thanks!

    tigerswim, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Did you already have Tiger installed or did you have Panther 10.3 installed? Tiger is not a free upgrade; you have to buy it & then update (for free) using the download updates from Apple. Also, you have to use a universal/retail install DVD (or CDs) to install Tiger. You cannot use the install DVD from another model Mac.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 Double Library File After Lion Install

    Hi, After Lion install I'v got a double iPhoto Library File in iPhoto 8.1.2 whil I have only one library.
    Is this normal ? Is there a way to get rid of one of the two files or to combine them ? On other Macs only one file shows up.
    See screenshots.
    In the Finder only one iPhoto Library appear in the images file.
    This is the content of the IPhoto Library package :

    That's an issue with the Dock. I would trash the Dock caches. I would post on the Using Mac OS X forum for more on that.

  • Updating iphoto to 6.0 on other mac from new install disk?

    Hi,
    I have a new mac book and would like to install iphoto 6.0 on my older mac. Can I simply use the newer install disk to get the latest version of iphoto? Or will I have to now buy a full package of iLife?
    Thanks in advance

    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, 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 issues after Leopard install...

    I downloaded Leopard not long ago and I am having some problems iPhoto. It seems like my libraries and photos are there, and I can see the thumbnails. But when I go to view the photo I get the big grey box with a ? in it. Is there a setting I am missing or did something go wrong when I upgraded to Leopard? Any advice or direction will be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where did you download Leopard from? And what version was it?
    How did you install it, Archive and Install or Erase and Install?

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.

  • After Leopard install Mac OSX Setup Assistant is in a constant loop

    I have a friend who I persuaded to switch to mac a few years ago and he recently installed Leopard without much success on his second mac (it was fine on his macbook pro 2.13ghz), a Power PC G5 1.8ghz - 1.25 gb ram. When I had a look at it it appears to be stuck in Mac OSX Setup Assistant mode - i.e. when you put the info in and the Screen says "enjoy your computer" or whatever it just comes back to the same Setup page. (What's weird is can't get to the end unless it has an internet signal - wireless at his place and ethernet at mine)
    I'm guessing something went wrong during installation as when I restart with the Leopard disc in and hold "c" Leopard install launches but only shows drivers and some languages need to be installed. I copied all important files via target mode and it shows that the Computer is "10.5". I'm guessing the full installation was interrupted. There doesn't appear to be a way to do a complete re-install. I ran Tech-Tool and Disk Warrior to rebuild and verify permissions etc. No joy!
    I'd like to do a full re-install of Leopard but I can't. As I have all important info backed up I guess I might have to completely wipe the disc and install Leopard on the blank disc - should this be okay as I've never done that before?
    Any other suggestions appreciated.

    If I press go back ...it just goes back to the Welcome screen.
    I should mention that if I try and select anything that needs to be opened in a window from the Apple menu nothing opens up. For example if I choose System Preferences it will show System Preferences in the top menu but no window will open.

  • Lost iSight - Ethernet - Bluetooth after Leopard install

    Hi,
    I installed Leopard - erase and install, in an iMac 1.83, 17 early 2006. After installation seemingly no problems with the installation iSight no longer works, built in ethernet doesn't seem to work and Bluetooth is flaky, sometime bluetooth works sometimes not.
    With iSight, try to use Photo Booth and I get a black window with a picture of a camera with a slash through the camera.
    With Ethernet using DHCP is self assigned an 169 ... number, so I set it to manuel and assigned a IP to it. But then Airport stopped working and lights on router don't light for the ethernet cable, and yes set to no conflicting IP.
    I restarted a few times, installed all the software updates, re-installed Leopard all to no avail.
    iMac Passed All ASD test.
    Worked fine with Tiger
    I'm at a lost so Any ideas welcomed.
    TIA, Bill...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, hytan
    hytan is giving you good help on resetting the hardware.
    About as close as you can come to an iSight "driver" is the "QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component" file. That file should be in your GF's Mac's Hard Disk / System / Library / QuickTime folder. Look manually because Spotlight will not find this file. If the file is there, reinstallation is not needed.
    If it is NOT there, you will need to restore the file to its correct location in order for your built-in iSight (or any other USB camera) to work.
    To "reinstall" the file, drag a copy of the file into the correct folder location and restart your Mac. That is all there is to it.
    You can use a copy of the QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component file from another Leopard Mac or from your Time Machine or other backup. 
    If you do not have a backup or other Mac, make a backup ASAP and use Pacifist to extract QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component from your Leopard Install disk. Instructions for Pacifist are here.
    (I have seen a web page that offers a download of the QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component file, but it is labeled for Mac OS 10.4.10. I am always suspicious of non-Apple sources for System files on my Mac. Moreover, even if this file is as advertised, I do not know whether the download is a safe substitute for you. Therefore, I suggest the Pacifist alternative.)
    If the file is where it should be but your built-in iSight is still not working, you will need to consider the hardware possibilities.  If reset won't bring it back, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • How did my desktop appear on another computer after Leopard install?

    I have a Mac G5 connected by ethernet to a cable company. I bought a MacBook for Chicago which is 2,000 miles away. After upgrading my G5 with Leopard I physically took the Leopard CD to Chicago and installed it on my MacBook in Chicago where I have wireless (router) After the install, my desktop was duplicated on this MacBook from the G5 in California. I never had these two computers connected, nor have I ever done a file sharing manipulation between these two computers.
    One of the files on the desk top on my MacBook, when opened reveals all my files just like the one in CA except I can't open any of them because the program cannot be found. That is not suprising at all because I never installed any of these programs.
    One program did open and can be used however and that is PhotoShop which I use lot on my G5. I never installed that program on my MacBook.
    How did this stuff get on my MacBook? I believe there is a bug in the Leopard CD that performs all the functions I could do manually to get this desk top to duplicate.
    What do you say?

    Lizard33, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Do you have a .Mac account? If so you are probably seeing the new Leopard "Back to My Mac" feature in operation.

  • HP LaserJet 1000 problem after Leopard install

    Anyone else have a problem printing after the Leopard install?
    My printer and driver was recognized but I can't print. When I watch the print queue it say there are errors and fails.
    Since HP never made a driver for this printer, I was using a Zenographics driver that worked great. That is, until I upgraded.
    I unplugged the USB and power cords, and removed the printer from System Preferences. After plugging everything back in and adding the printer again, the printer seemed like it wanted to print, but still didn't work.
    Please help.

    Thank you for your answers. I was hoping someone would reply.
    HP LJ 1000 is a great printer and I figured a few people had to have one. It is unfortunate as this printer hardly ever needed the toner changed, and I used it as my main printer. I swear I only changed toner four times in the last five years!
    I looked everywhere for a driver and found nothing. HP said they had no updated driver for the Mac (as they told me a year ago, too) and they were not going to create one.
    My final solution was to give up my printer to a good neighbor for $50 for her pc.
    I researched printers from the Apple store and decided to go with the very Mac friendly HP Laserjet 1022:
    http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCustom.woa/94340 03/wa/PSLID?mco=CC919B84&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/printers&nplm=TC976LL/A&wosid=gG2dihO9R0Mg29v6f901bEeWNf2
    Hopefully it will be a good printer. After returning the new toner I bought for the LJ1000, I thought Staples would have it in stock. However, after trying three different stores, it seems the best way to get a Mac-friendly printer is to go online.
    I hope I helped you out as well.
    Again, thank you.
