Iphoto 8 on 9 disk?

I got a free Ilife pack with my Mac.
I was using 8 and when I installed 9, it told me I had to use the latest version.
Any ideas?
The Apple disk clearly says 9.0.

Its been a while but I believe you click the "done" button after cropping (it might be "apply")
It that is not working backup up your iPhoto library and launch iPhoto while depressing the option and command keys and rebuild your library

PS and it is best to post in the correct forums - the answers are different for different versions and if you post in the wrong forum you might get answers that make the problem worse or do nothing due to the difference between versions

Here's a test you can run:
1 - copy a set of photos from the disk to a folder on the desktop.
2 - download and unzip the Automator workflow Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile. You can download it from Toad's Cellar.
3 - select the files in the folder and drag and drop onto the workflow app.
4 - try to import the resulting files.

How can I make a backup of my iPhoto Library on disk grouped by events

Dear fellow iPhoto users,
I have a 2008 Macbook, which has a big 40 gig iphoto library.
Unfortunaly my Macbook is (literaly) starting to fall apart and I'm afraid it's lifespan is reaching its end.
Also I don't have enough money to buy a new Mac.
I stil have an old PC left, but that PC won't be able to read my TimeMachine backup. So what I did is that I made a backup of my iPhoto library folder to an NTFS external drive, using Tuxera NTFS.
But the Library is grouped By Date. So I won't be able to find back any events on my PC.
Is there a way to backup my iPhoto Library grouped by Event to a NTFS external drive???
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Dennis from the Netherlands

You can't use a NAS for an iPhoto Library. End of story.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
You need to export the images from iPhoto to folders and then move those to the NAS - you'll need to do this anyway as iPhoto has zero crossplatform ability.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

How to install iPhoto & iMovie without disk?

I have a late 2010 Macbook Air that I was recently given from a friend
I didn't do any reformatting of the hard drive as there wasn't much on it, but I noticed that iPhoto and iMovie are missing (it's not under applications). I'm wondering whether it was included in the first place? And if so, how do I reinstall them if I don't have any disks from the original owner? It's running OS X Mountain Lion Version 10.8.2, so I'm not sure if the previous owner upgrading the software after original purchase caused an issue that deleted it them either.
Please help!
Additional note: I realize that the two applications are available in the app store, but I really have no desire to spend $30 on them

The only way to install iPhoto is from the original source or a purchased upgrade - the seller of the machine should have included the restore disks with it or provided you with the set up Apple ID so you can log in under it to download it from the app Store
You can contact Apple support and see if they can assist - they may be able to replace the restore disk are a reasonable cost

How do I import photos to iPhoto from a disk?

Hi, I have tried multiple times to import photos from a disk off of an old (5 yrs old) Apple computer into my new (3 month old) Mac. The only picture that will transfer is the first one. I have put in the disk, "selected" all photos and tried to "import" photos. It goes through saying that it is importing 300+ pictures but then the only one in the library is one photo. What can I be doing wrong? This seems so easy but it's driving me crazy! Thanks for your help.

You may have trouble importing multiple photos off the disk for some reason. Try inserting your disk and after it appears on your desk top, open it and try clicking on a singel photo and dragging it onto your desk top. Then click on it and after opening iPhoto, click on the desk top photo and drag into iPhoto when you have "Photo" opened in iPhoto.
If that works and you cannot make the same proceedure work when you select multiple photos, you have a long road ahead just moving one photo at a time.
Good luck...virg

IPhoto 11' insufficient disk space error on EHD

I have read previous discussions on this error, which did not fix my own problems. I have recently moved my iPhoto library to an EHD. The move went smoothly and I began importing more photos into the library. During one of the large imports I accidentaly unplugged my EHD which halted the import. I noticed it created an album in iPhoto saying "recovered photos". There were about 3,000 of them, and in the folder the photos thumbnails were not appearing. So I moved that folder to the iPhoto trash and emptied the trash. I also tried emtying the Finder trash as well.
At this point I started recieving the error "Insufficient Disk Space iPhoto cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
My EHD has 1.76TB free of 2TB, and my MacBook Pro has 407.29GB free of 499.25GB. So this is not a space issue at all.
I noticed that there was discussion of problems with deleting large amounts of data at one time, I believe this is what I did. What can I do to resolve my issue?
Thank you,
Mimmers49

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Try to import a new batch photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it doesn't then give this a go on your existing library:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Exporting from iPhoto: "Not enough disk space to complete this operation"

Hello. I am trying to compile a quick time slide show. There are 72 photos with a total size of 136mb. I get the error "there is not enough disk space to complete this operation" when I try and Export it to my Desktop. Is there a limitation on size to export to Quicktime slide show? I have never noticed this problem before.
Thanks.

Greetings--I may have solved this one myself. I knew I had plenty of HD space (92GB) so that wasnt the problem as the error indicated, so:
1--'poofed' iPhoto icon from the Dock--(don't know what the exact description is, but I removed the iPhoto icon from the Dock and it disappeared in a cloud of poof!).
2--I ran Disc Utility and repaired the HD.
3-- I then did a Restart.
My Export to Quicktime seems to be working okay at the moment with no more error
message so maybe the HD just needed straightening up. If you dont hear from me on here again, consider the problem solved.
Cheers.

Reinstall iphoto after hard disk exchange

I have had my hard disc exchanged by an Apple repair shop and now I can not find iPhoto and iMovie anymore! Anybody to have a hint to regain these two app? Thank you

reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

IPhoto Library Says disk is full and it isnt!!

Hello Al
My first post on here - have tried following various other threads relating to this but my problem is that I that although I am getting a message in iphoto saying I cant import as iphoto library is full - it is by no means full. The library is on my hard drive which has 500gig free!!
I do have external hard drives etc. and can of course copy the library to these - but I don't understand why when I have 500gig free I am being told the disk containing my iphoto library is full?
Please help as I have so many photos on my camera I would like to import so I can make some Christmas prezzies! Thanks
Claire

What size have you allocated to the dmg?
There is no need for this with iPhoto 09.
You can simply drag the Library to the Users/Shared Folder.
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
If that still reports the same issue, then Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto 06 and Disk Utility will not launch

I have a friend who has upgraded to iLife 06 on her G4 Mirrored Doors and when she tries to launch iPhoto 06 it bounces in the dock and then stops. iWeb will launch, as well as iDVD and iMovieHD, but Disk Utility will not. I have used the Tiger Install DVD to repair permissions as well as run FSCK -fy in single user mode. Nothing seems to fix these problems. Any advice will be appreciated.
TIA.
Lance
PowerBook G4 15 Al Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Since Disk Utility won't run I'd reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO updater. Then see if DU will launch. If so repair disk permissions with it. Then see if iPhoto will launch. If not then reinstall iPhoto from the iLife disks, update to 6.0.4 with System update, and then download and run the 6.0.5 updater (it will only run on 6.0.4). Then run Disk Utility again and repair disk permissions.
Before reinstalling however, all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder must be deleted along with the current application.

Restoration of iphoto albums after disk repair

I had a serious disk problem that required complete wiping of the disk and then restoration of the original files from Time Machine. My photos (14GB worth) are now organised into years (2003,2004, etc) only and not the original titled albums. What is the file that contains the original album titles and content and where should it be located in order for iphoto to read it? The file should still be there on Time Machine. Any help appreciated to avoid manually re-allocating files to albums even if I can remember which is which.

YOu need the iPhoto library intact - there is no file that contains albums - you must restore the database as a single entity
Typically you open TM and go back to a good date, select the iphoto library and click "restore"

IPhoto 6 wasting disk space

iPhoto appears to be grabbing many multiples more space than is necessary to store a photo. I imported about 500 megs of JPGs already on my hard drive; my prefs are set so that iPhoto creates its own copies. I figured that I would simply delete the "originals" after the import was done and the net space would be about the same, except for the thumbnails. My hard drive free space shrunk by 5 gigs!!
I did a complete rebuild of the iPhoto library (opening with command-control) and did not notice a significant increase in free space.
I looked for invisible or visible large files on my entire computer and can't find anything to explain the lost free space.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Bill:
When you import image files into iPhoto not only do thumbnail files get generated but the database file, Library6.iPhoto increases a fair amount with all of the information related to where the file is located, roll, date, etc. information. If any of the photos were portrait orientated photos and came from a camera with the auto-rotate function then rotated modified files for each of them will automatically be created and stored in the Modified folder. There is a lot of overhead connected with an iPhoto library. It's the nature of the beast.
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.

Unable to burn iphoto pics to disk. Get the message"no devices are available for burning".

I have been burning pics from iphoto to disc since I purchased my imac with no problem. Now I just get the message "no devices are available for burning". Also, my system does not recognize a cd in the drive. What is the reason? if it can only be that simple.
thank you,
Sonja

The reason may be that your optical drive has failed. Try resetting the SMC and pram and if that doesn't help probably either a trip to a repair center or purchasing an external drive is in order.
To reset the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
To reset PRAM/NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Why do I have two iPhoto Libraries on two different disks?

I have two external hard drives. At one time in the past I created an iPhoto Library on disk one, and then later I created a new library on disk two since it was larger, and that became my primary library. Now I notice using Finder after several months that the iPhoto Library file icon on both drives is exactly the same file size, with exactly the same modification date and time. How is this possible? I now do not know which library to trust. Thanks.

If you find the library1 on disk 1 contains files that do not appear in the library2 on disk 2 and want to get them into the library on disk 2 you can do so with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager.
Launch iPLM, load the two libraries into it and copy the photos from library1 into library2. Set iPLM's preferences to not import duplicates.
