IPhoto 6 download - .MAC users

Am I wrong in understanding that .MAC users are able to update iPhoto 6 for free? I am able to download the file but get the error message:
You cannot install iPhoto Update 6.0.2 on this volume. An eligeble iPhoto application was not found in the location/Applications/iPhoto.app.

The file you have downloaded is the 6.0.2 updater for iPhoto 6.
It will not work unless you already have iPhoto 6 installed on your machine.
To get iPhoto 6 you need to buy iLife '06

    should i spend the 15dollars on downloading iphoto from teh app store or is it free to download? i saw some announcemnets on the apple website stating it was free for mac users?

    iPhoto is not a free download
    It does come preinstalled on all Macs and you reinstall it from your purchases at the App store

  • Possible for non-Mac users to save and send iPhoto Mail images?

    Will non-Mac users be able to download and save images sent from iPhoto via Mail? Of course they can see the images, but will they be able to save, send, and print them? Thanks.

    The answer to the question is Yes, but...
    A lot of people have problems because they don't understand their own email clients. The one way that is pretty much guaranteed to work is to send +only plain text emails+. It's the most basic form of email and it works.

  • Sharing an i book created in iphoto with another .mac user

    I need to have another .mac user look at an i book that I have created in i photo. Does this person have to have a .mac website for this to work? If not, how would he view this?

    Thanks so much for your answer, I saved it as a PDF and stored in
    on iDisc in the public folder as you suggested. Now he can access that
    by going to his iDisc, and 'Other User's Public Folder. Thanks for your
    help. Are you with Apple, or just an individual?
    Laurie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you want your
    friend to be able to work with the book in iPhoto or
    just look at it?
    If it's just look at it then do a Print to PDF and
    send them the pdf file. If it's too large to email
    then you an post it to your Public folder on your
    iDisk for them to download.
    If you want them to work on it in iPhoto then there's
    no easy way to accomplish that. One method would be
    the following:
    1 - duplicate you iPhoto Library folder and name it
    Book Library.
    2 - open the Book library (launch iPhoto with the
    Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to locate
    the Book library and open it.
    3 - delete all of the photos except those in the
    book, all albums, slideshows and any non book items.
    4 - now you can either burn the Book library folder
    to a CD and get it to your friend or make an archive
    of it (Control-click on the Book library folder and
    select Create archive in the contextual menu) and
    upload that to your iDisk Public folder where your
    friend can download it.
    You friend can then unzip the library folder and open
    it as noted above.
    Do you
    Twango?
    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
    (requires Tiger), 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.

  • Can you share your photos in iPhoto with other users on Mac and if so How?

    I am trying to share photos in iPhoto from one user to another user on my Mac computer.  Can this be done and how do you do it?

    I am trying to share photos in iPhoto from one user to another user on my Mac computer.  Can this be done and how do you do it?
    If you only want to share a few selected albums with your favourite photos, consider to use Shared Photo Streams / Shared Albums, if your Mac OS X version supports iCloud.

  • I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto.

    I'm a brand new Mac user. I want to send photos from Iphoto to my local store for printing, like I can do in Picasa. I can't find that option in Iphoto. I do not want to order them through Itunes.

    I have not idea how you do it with Picasa but with iPhoto you either export the photos to a desktop folder and upload from there or burns that folder to CD - or from the upload window use the media browser in the lower left hand corner of the upload windows - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • HT1338 I am a 20 year Mac user.  I just downloaded a book for the first time using iTunes.  When I go to "Books" in the left hand margin of iTunes and click on the new book I downloaded, nothing happens. It gets hi-lighted, but  it doesn't open?

    I am a 20 year Mac user.  I downloaded a book from iTunes moments ago.  in iTunes, under the left hand margin "Books" when I select the book and double click on it, it doesn't open.  How do I read this book?  It won't give me an option to open with other apps, but isn't there a built in app?

    iBooks can not be read on macs, only on iDevices.

  • I'm a new mac user. My photos transferred over from PC w/Adobe Elements to Imac with IPhoto and they're a complete disorganized mess!!!!! HELP!

    I'm a new mac user. I just had my 8,000  photos that I managed on my old PC using Elements transferred to new Mac. Now half my photos are completely disorganized and jumbled together out of order in one big Iphoto album, when they used to be arranged in folders by date. I could see this taking hours and hours of reviewing and organizing, picture by picture.
    What is the most expedient solution to this problem? I'm open to using Iphoto, Aperture, and perhaps even Lightroom to organize my pics but would like to avoid Elements since I read new organizers stink.
    P.S.  I would love a 'Sort' function by date to keep them in order, (much more useful to me than categorizing by faces and places), however I can't seem to find a program that offers this, which makes no sense to me.
    Thanks,
    Angela

    View Menu -> Sort Photos -> By Date?
    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

  • I have just opened my brand new Macbook Pro and I'm a first time mac user. I have tried to download flash to enable me to watch you tube clips, but on trying to download it, it says I need to close Safari but after doing so, it still won't respond.

    Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing.  With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

  • New mac user - iphoto trouble - original doc not found

    hey all,
    i just got my first macbook a few days ago. things are going pretty good except for an iphoto error.
    when i try to import my library i get an error to the effect of "can not upload original doc not found"....it wants me to find the picture, which i can, and click it, which then will import it....this works but i would have to do this 2,000 times to import my whole library
    i should note i do not want to copy the photos in iphoto....i just want it to point to my originals...
    also i did succesfully upload them all once....but then i wiped them out....so this is my second time...it worked the first time....
    ???????

    When you run a referenced library iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. It will create an alias to the Original file, a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version.
    What's happened here is that the alias has lost contact with it's Linked File. Have you made any changes to the path the that file? Renamed or moved a folder?
    Frankly, unless you are using wo different photo managers, I strongly recommend against running a referenced library - even more so for an inexperienced Mac user.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about finding the files: There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of the pitfalls.

  • HT3258 After downloading Mac OS X I can no long download photos from Safari to iPhoto.  How do I fix this problem?

    I downloaded Mac OS X Mountain Lion and now I can't download photos from Safari to iPhoto.

    Open iPhoto and then try it. I got the same error message you did when I tried to download an image. iPhoto then opened and I was able to add the image. Not exactly perfect.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
