IPhoto 7 x 10 card format only

First post greetings.
I was all prepared (and excited) to print my Christmas cards I made in iPhoto last night. Come to find out after a few hours trying to print them on standard US Letter format, Apple only allows their card templates to be printed at 7 x 10.
Apple should let their printing service sell itself, not obstruct users from fully utilizing the features of the darned expensive tool they purchased for these type of projects.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
If you have a 3rd party editor that can handle layers you can follow Tutorial #8 to print your card. That's about the only way I know of to print it and get a borderless card and in correct register from front to back.
Happy Holidays
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.

  • Hi.  I am planning a valentines day party for 7 people, I used the "Event Card" format on pages.  It only gave me two cards, I do not know how to get more cards.  Thanks!

    Newest compared to what?
    There is a reason we don't say use the "latest" or "best" methods to complete tasks, because they are vague ill defined terms.
    Could you return us the favor and tell us exactly what version of Pages on what version of OSX.
    The answer varies.

    How do I import contacts into an in car phone system that only accepts a v.card format.

    You can't. If the system doesn't support the PBAP bluetooth profile, you can not transfer your contacts to it.

  • 2GB SD card shows only 1GB after formatting

    I've formatted 2GB flash card using this utility. After this operation card had a strange file system, so I've foramtted the card using windows utility and card is visible as 1GB flash card.
    How can I foramt this card as 2GB?

    I have found some information that to solve this issue, you need the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility V2.1.0.0. If you use an older version of the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility and you format a 2GB SD card, this leads to a formatted 1GB SD card.
    Solution:
    1. Uninstall the old version of Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility from your computer
    2. Download the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility V2.1.0.0
    3. Install Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility V2.1.0.0

    Hi, I was importing pictures into iPhoto from my sd card and suddenly iPhoto quit.  Now it just won't open.  When I click on the iphoto icon in the dock, nothing happens!  Does anyone have a solution to this problem please?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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 menu option.
    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.

  • Convert iphoto slide show to mov format?

    hello, I just want to ask that, can I convert iphoto slide show into mov format??? I tried to select all pics, and export them as a mov, but the problem is, in the iphoto slide show, the pics can be moved and fit the screen size, but when I i export it, the pics just set in the middle , no any effect.

    1. Select the photos you want to use, and click on the +. In the window that appears, select slideshow, and give your project a title.
    2. Choose your transitions and music.
    3. Go to File>Export; this will create a QuickTime movie- a .mov file.
    4. For information on playback, read this section from QuickTime Player Help.
    _Viewing Movies at Full Screen_
    You can set the screen so that only the movie is visible, not the QuickTime Player window, desktop, or other windows. This presentation setting is called "full-screen mode." (You can also set a movie to play at half size, double size, or other sizes.)
    To play a movie at full screen, do one of the following:
    Choose View > Full Screen.
    Choose View > Present Movie, choose Full Screen, and click Play.
    To quit full-screen mode, press Esc. To adjust the way the picture is sized to fit your screen, such as stretched to fit or in letterbox format, move the pointer to the top of the screen to display the QuickTime Player menu options, and then choose a setting from the View menu. The following additional options are available in full-screen mode:
    Fit to Screen: The content is scaled to fill your screen as fully as possible without cropping the movie or changing the aspect ratio.
    Zoom: The content is scaled and cropped to completely fill your screen in at least one dimension. This can eliminate black areas on the top (letterboxing) or side (pillarboxing) but may hide or distort the content.
    Panoramic: The content is scaled to fit your screen and the outer horizontal edges compressed to avoid cropping the image.
    You can also cycle through all of the available full-screen options by clicking the button in the movie controls that appear when you move the pointer.
    You can also set options for all movies playing at full screen. For example, you can hide the movie controls or change the amount of time they're displayed before being hidden. To set these options, see QuickTime Player preferences.
    Note: As long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QuickTime Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card

    how do I export pictures from iphoto to a sd card?

    Exporting from iPhoto to the SD card is preferable. Dragging to the card will only write the lower quality  preview files and not the high resolution originals.
    Export to a folder on the Desktop and then drag the folder to the card. If the file system on the SD Card is not MacOS Extended (Joournaled), you'll avoid a problem with the limit of files, that can be stored on the top level of the card by collecting all files in a folder.
    Actually I found the opposite was true.
    As you can see in the following picture, the dragged photo, which is the one named IMG_2268.JPG  retained more metadata and had a larger file size than the one I exported which was reduced in file size, and lost a bit of the meta data in the export.   Including the creation date, and the latitude and longitude.
    I think Dragging is the better option.

    The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available

    Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.

  • How can I create a card with only a picture on the front - inside blank

    How can I create a card that only has a picture on the front and the inside is blank?

    Use the Holiday Colors theme for a folded card.  For the outside select the layout that just includes a full page photo. For the inside select the layout that suits your eye..
    As far as the text boxes are concerned just put a single space in them and then order.

    In the libary of iPhoto I do have double pictures only in the year 2006. Can someone please tell me how to remove the double pictures. I did rebuilt the libary but that solution did not help me any further.

    I think the warning is very clear.
    What warning? Where do you say that this plan you suggest will lose at least some, and possibly a whole lot of metadata, plus  the original files of edited photos. This is significant dataloss. And you should warn people that this is the case.
    While your metadata and originals may not be important to you, that is not necessarily the case for other users.
    Fourthly, and last, cleaning the iPhoto library should be done at least once per year
    This is nonsense. The iPhoto Library has no need of "cleaning" and certainly not in any way that trashes a whole lot of data.
    I'm very impressed that you assess the application based on the sound of the name. It's not a common way to review applications, but I'm sure it has some merit.
    FWIW it has been recommended on this - and other - sites for many years and has proven safe and effective.

    You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.
