IPhoto 8.1.2/MacBook OS X 10.6.8 issue

A friend graciously gave me his MacBook (10.6.8 Snow Leopard). When attempting to open iPhoto (8.1.2), a large text box opens with " iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall...etc.
A few lines down is this error message:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/A/iLifeSlid eshow
Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
Reason: image not found
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iPhoto 8.1.2 several times, have installed iPhoto Library Manager (as was suggested for another poster's problem) and various updates until my head is spinning. I have had no issues with iMovie which I believe is part of the same iLife suite of programs.
When i attempt to open iPhoto Library Manager I get a bit farther along (there are no photos btw) I get a bit farther along until I attempt to open the 'empty' library category under 'albums' and get this message:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iLifeSlideshow.framework/Versions/A/iLifeSlid eshow
Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
Reason: image not found
Perhaps this is because I do not have any photos in an album within these libraries.
Any help fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated as i do not have the funds to purchase a new copy of iPhoto and this MacBook model is unable to upgrade to Lion.
Thank you for your attention to this.

Have a look at this document: iLife '08 and later: Some iLife applications will not open after an OS reinstall or migration http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1042?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You probably need to reinstall the complete iLife '09 bundle, not only iPhoto.

Is there a way I can sync and keep more than one iPhoto library from my MacBook on my iPad2?

Hi, I have several iphoto Libraries on my MacBook - as it's a good way to organize all my photos and keeps them in manageable form - but I would like to keep them on my ipad2 aswell. In the normal way I can only sync one Library at a time - unless someone knows better!
Many thanks and hope you can help.

found solution...i've now got iphone sync'd between new IMac and macbook pro (meaning that I can now add songs, video, from both computers...i don't know about all that sync of contacts and mail, etc...not concerned with that at moment..)
follow solutions here:....http://www.iskysoft.com/topic-iphone/sync-iphone-with-multiple-macs.html. NOTE: as mentioned in my previous post, I was unable to change my Library Persistent ID, as it would always revert back to the original....however, in the link above, one user, made suggestion to corrupot Itunes Library.itl, and then it will repair itself with Library Persistent ID (of old/original machine), and now it works..!

I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
Is it possible to merge the libraries?
Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
Thanks for your help!

1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
3. Yes.

How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or hard drive??

How can I move my iPhoto Library from my MacBook Pro to my iMac or to my external hard drive? 'Help' is not helping!!

To move to another machine:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
To move to an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.

Can I upgrade from iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion? or iPhoto '09...

Can I upgrade from iPhot '08 (ver 7.1.5) to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion or iPhoto '09?

You should only get that message if you are attempting to install the same version of iPhoto that is already on your computer.
Should you upgrade your current version of '08 (7.1.5) to anything higher, including '11 (9.2.1), it will upgrade your current library with all your photos and not create an additional application or library.

I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook. Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files.
If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.

How do I add 10G worth of pic's from eMac iPhoto 5 to new macbook with iPhoto 6?

If you want to maintain the roll, album, keywords, comments and other info you'll need the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. Currently it's the only way to merge libraries and keep all that information.

No. For Photo Stream you'll need iPhoto 9.4 or later. This Apple document gives the minimum system requirements for iCloud and Photo Stream: iCloud: System requirements

I just created a slide show with iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Air. How do I save this to a DVD on my external drive so that it will play on a DVD player?

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

I'm using iPhoto '09 on my macbook, and it's just working slow - lots of pinwheels and lagging. My library is big - (134.71 GB to be exact). What can I do to make my iPhoto run smoother??

How much Ram?
How much Free Space on your Mac?
How Many items in the Library?

I want to transfer my iPhoto from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have a firewire or I could also do it from my TimeCapsule. Would one be a better method than the other?

I want to transfer my iPhoto from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have a firewire or I could also do it from my TimeCapsule. Would one be a better method than the other?

Hi brotherbrown,
A direct FireWire transfer (especially if it's 800 to 800) is going to be the fastest method. TimeCapsule would work, if you connect to it via Ethernet, via wireless it would be quite slow (especially if you have a large library).

Transferring old iPhoto pictures to new MacBook

I am trying to merge my old iPhoto pictures from a MacBook running OS X 10.5.8 to a new MacBook running 10.7.5
I tried connecting the two computers with a USB cable, I can't seem to get the two to connect when I open finder.

No - merging keeps all versions of the photo , edits, faces and metadata - exporting and then importing keeps selected metadata and one version - either the original or the current version
do what you want but the only way to merge libraries is to use Aperture or iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

I want to copy my iMac iPhoto files to a MacBook Air. How do I do this? Thanks.

I want to copy my iMac iPhoto files to a MacBook Air. How do I do this?
Do I drag and drop the iPhoto files or should I use a Thunderbolt cable?
Thanks.

Connect the two Mac via a LAN or FW cable and Target Disk Mode and copy the iPhoto Library package from your iMac to your Pictures folder on MBA. All it takes is a drag and drop no matter how you connect the two Macs.
If you have an external HD copy the library to it and reconnect to the MBA and copy again.
If you have a library already on your MBA and it has photos you want to save then rename it before the copy.
