IPhoto 6 Pc to Mac files

ASAP . I have a project due and I can't get the iPhoto to read my jpg files scanned on my PC. It read 9 out of 10 CD correctly and now on the last one it says it is unusable files format. Next I lost my iPhoto files. I check here and tried the option and apple button to rebuild the library but that didn't work. Okay now I have a new library and it will not import any pictures on the HD. It says they are unusable format. For a new mac user I am really getting tired of the PC to mac thing.

It sounds like you already dug quite a hole before you posted here. Don't feel guilty; we've all been there. Because of the limitations of message exchange on a forum, you might be better off calling Apple (free support for 90 days) and get a live tech to walk you through the issues. However...
First, stay out of iPhoto. Can you load the CD and simply drag the photos to your desktop? If that works, try double-clicking on one at a time. Do they open up in any application at all?
Post back and we'll go from there.

Export video from iPhoto Library to Mac Files.

I want to export a video that i have on iPhoto Library, i've selected the video, clicked on export and set the kind to original, but it steel says it can't prepare the video to export. How do i export it?

Select the affected video in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected.
Does it?

Mac iPhoto vs. PC File Structure

As a new Mac user I'm new to OS X Yosemite. Previously, in my old PC I could view all my photos as files that I could open, delete, etc. Now, in iPhoto, these files are no longer visible, but apparently stored elsewhere that I can't seem to reference or see unless I export the photo. I still have all of my photos from my PC in the 'Pictures' folder, but is iPhoto not referencing these files and simply has them stored & referenced elsewhere? So is it safe for me to delete all of these photo files from my old PC? I don't want to delete these files unless I'm sure iPhoto isn't referencing them and has its own storage location. Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks!

By default iPhoto copies your photos to the iphoto library - it is VERY strongly recommended that you do no change this
See iPhoto and File Management
iPhoto is a photo manager and totally replaces the finder (a file manager) for your photos - see - this is conceptually must different than a file based management system
Assuming that you have a default managed library then you can delete any photos that have imported into iPhoto - although I personally would leave them on the PC as an additional backup

Copy to Mac file Created Date uses iPhoto Modified not Original Date

When a photo is edited in iPhoto the 'Extended Photo Info' 'Modified' date field is changed to the now() date and time but the 'Original' date iPhoto remains the same.
Then when a copy is made of a photo in iPhoto and then 'Paste Item(s)' is made to the Mac desktop all the files dates default to the iPhoto 'Modified' date not the iPhoto 'Original Date'. Then if a sort by the 'Original Date' on the Mac is desired it will not happen unless the Created date file settings is changed for each photo copied to the Mac Desktop.
How can photos in iPhoto be copied to the Mac Desktop with the 'Original Date' used in the Mac file 'Created' date field?

when a copy is made of a photo in iPhoto and then 'Paste Item(s)' is made to the Mac desktop all the files dates default to the iPhoto 'Modified' date not the iPhoto 'Original Date'
Where are you seeing this date? In the Info window for the file with the Finder? That's to be expected because those dates are the file dates, not the EXIF photo created and modified dates which can't be view by the Finder. You will need to use a 3rd party EXIF view like EXIF Viewer for Mac OS X .
So don't confuse the EXIF date(s) with the file dates.

How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

How do I transfer photos in iPhoto from my Mac Book to my iMac?

Depends on exactly what you want to transfer:
The Original files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Original) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
The Edited files: Export from iPhoto on the MacBook (File -> Export, set the kind to Jpeg or tiff, note the options for adding metadata to the export) and copy the files to the iMac. Then import to the Library on the iMac
Both and all the Metadata: Link the two Macs together and use iPhoto Library Manager

I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad. How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream.

I made a photo book in iPhoto and would like to transfer the book to my iPhoto on other macs and iPad. How is this done and can it be synced between devices like photo stream?

You can create a Quicktime movie slideshow of the book's pages and share that. Here's how to get your book into an iPhoto slideshow and then export as a Quicktime video:
1 - While viewing the book type Command+P to start the print process.
2 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
3 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
4 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. Immediately select all of the photos in the new album and sequentially renumber them as "Page " using the Batch Change ➙ Title to Text with the option to add a sequential number to each title. This is to let you put the pages back in the correct order in the event they get sorted incorrectly.
Now you can proceed as follows: create the slideshow in iPhoto and export it out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large (480p with iPhoto 9),
Happy New Year

Sharing Aperture library with iPhoto on another Mac

I've got an iMac in my office with Aperture, latest version, where I keep my master photo collection. I've got a Mac Mini in my living room, hooked to a big screen TV, with only iPhoto. The iMac is cabled to a 1 GB Time Capsule, while the Mac Mini connects to my home network through the Time Capsule WiFi network. I'd like to be able to slideshow selected Albums through iPhoto on the Mac Mini that are stored within Aperture on the IMac. File sizes average 7 MB, one folder can have 500+ images.
Is this possible? If it is, would it be too slow over WiFi? Should I just buy a second disk for the Mac Mini and duplicate the library?

No. The Aperture database is not comprehendible to iPhoto.

IPhoto issues editing Raw files in PE4

I've just acquired Photoshop Elements 4 and was happy at the prospect or keeping my photos in iPhoto and editing them in Elements.
I mostly shoot in RAW format but when editing a RAW file in Elements I can't get the edit to show up in iPhoto (version 6).
On the other hand when processing jpegs from iPhoto to Elements the edits show up fine back in iPhoto.
Is the problem with the format change when converting RAW to Jpeg I wonder?
I did notice that when saving the edited RAW file -and choosing Jpeg as the new format- iPhoto defaulted to the "Original" not the "Modified" folder for the save. Couldn't iPhoto determine that the file has been modified? Is that because the extension was changed?
I also tried saving and manually selecting the MODIFIED folder but with unhappy results. The edit did show up, and in it's proper place, but when viewing in "full screen" mode the image resorted back to the unedited version after 3 or 4 seconds. I tried that a couple of times with the same results...!? I hope I didn't corrupt anything in the process!
I realise I could just do a "save as" to my desktop and import back to iPhoto but that creates a double and also a new roll for each import...
I haven't seen any posts about this. Has anyone had the same problem, or am I missing something elementary?
Thanks for any feedback.

iPhoto is a consumer-level application, and RAW is a format mostly for professionals. When you import a RAW file into iPhoto it saves the RAW in the Originals folder and instantly creates a jpeg version of it in the Modified folder. This causes the problem with your editing workflow.
Yes, changing the file extension in Elements is the same as doing a Save As - it breaks the link iPhoto has with the original. This is why you don't see your edits back in iPhoto. Any time you change the extension you will need to save as to the desktop and import the edit as a new original into iPhoto. As you've seen, you cannot save directly into the iPhoto library folder because images must be Imported for iPhoto to recognize them. If you know which files you placed in there, go ahead and drag them out (using Finder) to your desktop. Then import. (Be careful not to tamper with anything else in the library folder while you're in there.)
My suggestion for your RAW workflow is to use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload from your camera (to a folder anywhere outside of your iPhoto library folder). Edit in Elements. Last, import into iPhoto. Once inside iPhoto, the desktop copies can be deleted. You can set Image Capture to open when you connect a camera in Image Capture Preferences.
iPhoto does create a new roll each time you import photos, but you can always reorganize your rolls. Choose Library and View > Sort Photos > by Film Rolls and you can combine, create, retitle, and redate your rolls. For example, you could keep separate rolls for files with a RAW original versus files imported as jpegs.

IPhoto Book Colour Profiles & File Sizes?

I want to make a book in iPhoto. All my images are Adobe RGB. Do I need to change the colour profile.
I have a Mac with and Apple flat screen that has been colour balanced. So all the images look good. I am just concerned that they will be printed in a different profile and look rubbish.
What is the smallest file size and resolution that will look good.
Any other helpful advice.

Here's what Apple responded with when I asked them about book material and print quality:
"Thank you for contacting the Apple Print Products Customer Service.
I understand that you would like to know the printing process that is used and the color mode the files should be in, so you can better advise users in the iPhoto forum.
iPhoto version 4 or later, allows you to import and print files through the Apple Print Product service as RGB, grayscale, or CMYK color space. JPEG files with *RGB color space are recommended for best results.*
While iPhoto 2 can import files of various formats, including RGB color, grayscale, and CMYK, this version requires JPEG files with RGB color space when printing photos and books.

Here are some of the technical specifications for the books, cards, and calendars. I hope this gives you an idea about their quality and form.
BOOKS
All iPhoto books are printed using acid-free paper for long-lasting image quality. The photos are printed at a high resolution (300DPI if you use iPhoto 6). There is no external modification--such as sharpening or contrast adjustment--of the photos; what you see in the application is what is printed in the book.
Hardcovers Books
The cover is hard-bound and covered in linen. You select the linen color during the book-ordering process. The hardcover books have a solid, stiff binding that is glued and crimped. The internal pages, measuring 8.5 x 11 inches, are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock.
Softcover Books
The softcover books come in three sizes:
- Large 8.5 x 11 inches
- Medium 6 x 8 inches
- Small 2.6 x 3.5 inches
All of the softcover books have internal pages that are printed on McCoy 100# Text Gloss paper stock. The large softcover book has a white cover (Kromekoteplus Folding Cover, 16 point) with a cutout on the front that reveals the cover-page photo in the book. The covers for the medium and small softcover books have the cover image and title printed directly on the cover. All of the softcover books have a glued binding and feature a thick cover of McCoy 100# Cover Gloss paper stock.
CARDS
All cards are printed on McCoy 120# Silk Cover paper stock. The postcards measure 4 x 6 inches, and the greeting cards measure 5 x 7inches.
CALENDARS
All calendars measure 8 x 10 inches and are printed on McCoy 100# Silk Cover paper stock.
To ensure the best print quality, we have chosen to use Kodak NexPress technology. The press uses a dry toner, which is fused to the surface of the paper. Please see NexPress' site for more information:
KODAK NEXPRESS 2500 Digital Production Color Press
I hope you find this information helpful in answering questions on the iPhoto forum."
As for file size, keep the pixel dimension of the photo the largest you can. That will convert to the highest resolution possible when converted to the pdf for uploading and printing. iPhoto will assign a warning flag to those photos that end up with a dpi of less than 180 when added to a particular frame in the book. When added to a smaller frame the warning flag may go away. I've printed books with that warning and was happy with the results.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Did iPhoto come with your Macbook Pro? Did your MBP come with Lion preinstalled? If yes to both questions 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,

Synching iPhoto on two Macs

I've read some older discussions on synching iPhoto between two Macs but is there anything new on this. I'd like to have the same library on both Macs.

Brie Fly is right. You can't do a straight sync. Doing so will make sure each folder in each library has the same files but it can't sync the database files that tell iPhoto which photos are where. Each library will just appear the same and may eventually have problems with all those "unofficial" files in it's library. You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge photos from each library into the other. It would not be automatic in that you'd have to know which are new. You might use the "Last X rolls" feature to do that. But it will copy them and maintain the rolls, album, keyword and other metadata information. I've not used it but many users have reported successful merges with it.

Trying to download pictures from a CD to IPhoto on my MAC. I am really technologically challenged.

Group the photo is an album. Select all and export to a folder on the Desktop using the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu.
Select Kind = Current if you want to include those photos you've edited.
Insert a CD into the optical drive, drag the folder onto the CD icon and drag the CD icon to the Trash bin which changes to Burn.

Capturing iPhoto Book Temporary PDF File

In earlier versions of iPhoto, it was possible to capture a copy of the PDF file that is generated and sent to the photo printing service by finding the temporary folder where iPhoto saves the file during the "assembling book..." phase. (For a detailed description, click here -- http://scottierocket.com/mac/capturing-iphoto-book-temporary-pdf-files/)
However, I can't seem to find the same temporary folder or files when running iPhoto '08. Does anyone know where these temporary files are stored during assembly and uploading?
Thanks...Neil

Larry, thanks for the tip -- that looks like it does what I wanted to do!
In the meantime, I did find a slightly geekier way to do it. For those that care, I've posted the solution to my blog: http://scottierocket.com/mac/capturing-temporary-pdf-files-in-iphoto-08/
At least that way, I learned a bit more Mac OS X command-line geek-fu!
