Sorry I am not the most tech savvy in the world.
Yes, that's what is supposed to happen. Since you don't have any on the MBA yet there is nothing to lose in trying it.

Unable to update iphoto and imovie from app store

I just bought my mba. and I am getting up dates but when I got to iphoto and i movie I got the following error "You have updates available for other accounts" so it is telling me its for a different account. but it dont make sense.

I already checked that, and they dont show up on purchased side. I am providing one more phrase that comes up in the warning that may help.
"You have updates available for other accounts"

Photo Stream activation fails in iPhoto and Aperture

Hi,
i've just updated to OSX 1.7.2 on my iMac and MBA and to iOS5 on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Everything basically works well except the iCloud photo stream on my mac.
iPhone and iPad play well and push and pull fotos from the photo stream.
On the mac i can't activate the photo stream. I've updated iPhoto and Aperture but when i try to activate the photo stream it says that it's unable to reach the photo stream. I've already logged out from i cloud and re logged in again but that didn't help. iPhoto and Aperture are the latest versions.
Anyone with an idea?
Addition: Activation works well on another iMac with another iCloud account from my girl friend (in the same local network), i've also double checked little snitch isn't blocking anything.
Addition 2: It also works on my MBA with the same iCloud account that doesn't work on the iMac. Weird,

I'm fairly certain that it's an account-wide preference. You could always enable a second user account, turn on Fast User Switching, and only swap to that account to launch iPhoto and do your Photo Stream business.

What versions of iPhoto do you have on your mini and MBA? And what MacOS X versions?
If your mini is running an earlier MacOS X version, you may need to update MacoS X first on that machine to be able to install the same iPhoto version.

Cannot launch iPhoto on MBA

First off, I am a total OSX noob, I'll try to include all the relevent info. This was a BNIB purchase of a MBA mid 2011 from Best Buy, so it came pre-installed w/ all of the iLife apps. Recently, the 9.2.3 (I think) update for iPhoto & GarageBand was showing up in the software update window, but whenever I tried to update them, I was told via Apple that I was signed in w/ the wrong AppleID. I signed in w/ every ID I've had and none of them worked. One suggestion was to remove iPhoto and re-install, whch I did, but now iPhoto won't launch. I am getting an error stating "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Here are the details of the error. I changed the text to RED for the area that I think is the issue, but I have no idea how to solve this. Any help is appreciated.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Update issue about imovie, iphoto and GarageBand

hey guys, i have bought MBA 11'' 2011 for few days, and yesterday the Apps store noticed me that I needa update imovie, iphoto and GarageBand, I'm wondering are they free for getting update?

i actually bought 13'' MBA 2011

After upgrading to Mavericks I cannot update iPhoto and iMovie. Why?

Just got my first Mac, an iMac. I upgraded to Maverick and once done I find there are updates available for iPhoto and iMovie. First I have tried to register "accept" the two apps. Nothing happens. Then I try to update them and get the answer that these apps was installed with another Apple ID. The thing is that I don't have any other Apple ID and noone else has touched my iMac. I have tried to reinstall Maverick three times now but end up with the same result. Anyone who has any clue or have experienced the same problem?

Open System Preferences > Users & Groups then select the Password tab.
Make sure you see the correct Apple ID.
If not, click Change.
Make sure you are logged into your admin account before updating apps.
Reinstalling Mavericks requires using OS X Recovery but there's no reason to reinstall Mavericks just to update your apps.

When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event. Now it shows only one photo at a time. How do I get it back? Can you help?

On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

Using iPhoto and editing with Photoshop Elements 4

Hello
I am new to Macs after many years using PC and I am struggling to set up my photo workflow. I shoot in RAW format and input into iPhoto from iPhoto I double click on the photo and which opens the RAW editor in Photoshop Elements. After making changes I open the file in Photoshop and then save as a TIFF.
My problem is I do not see the changed and saved file in iPhoto and if I double click on the photo again it opens back up in the RAW editor not as a TIFF.
Can any one point me in the right direction to solve this or is what I am trying to do not possible
Thanks
Grant

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What you're trying to do is not possible.
When you save as a TIFF you create a whole new file that needs to be imported into iPhoto anew. iPhoto will track an edit as long as you stay with the same file - so, edit your jpeg in PSE and use the 'Save' command and the change is reflected in iPhoto. However, you cannot Save RAW files, it's always a Save As... and so the resulting file has to be imported.

Good morning, i would like to know how to take pictures from iphoto and put them in a folder on desktop

Good morning: would like to know how to take pictures from my iphoto and put them in a folder on my desktop

To take photos from iPhoto and put them onto a folder on Desktop, first create a folder on Desktop. Right-click on Desktop and create a new folder.
Then, open iPhoto, and you have two ways to export photos:
1. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key (or go to Edit menu > Select All, if you want to copy all photos), and then, drag them to the folder on Desktop.
2. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key, go to File menu > Export, and follow the steps.
You can choose the one you prefer

IPhoto and Photoshop CS3 Problem

I have been downloading my pictures into iPhoto and editing them in Photoshop(CS3) now. As long as I was shooting jpeg, I would just hit Save in Photoshop and the edited picture would show up in my iPhoto application, in in "modified" in iPhoto library.
Since I got Photoshop CS3, I have been shooting a lot more RAW. RAW images, saved TIFFS, don't seem to get saved to iPhoto application, just the Pictures/iPhoto Library folder. And I am noticing that edited pictures don't automatically go into modified, but stay in the originals file.
I am also noticing that even jpegs do not automatically get saved to the iPhoto application. They too open up the save to window for Pictures/iPhoto Library. All this since CS3.
So only the original files downloaded from my CF card are in iPhoto. I feel that something is wrong here. I should be able to have my edited files show up in my iPhoto application without re-importing them.
I tried a trial of Aperture, but my DT graphics card and processor can't handle the application. But that is not the point. What has happened that iPhoto has become essentially useless to view my modified photos?

Birgit
This may be the source of the issue.
Bridge is NOT Photoshop, but an alternative file organiser. So when you set Bridge as an external editor you're really sending the pics to another organiser, not an editor. Presumably from there they go to Photoshop and are then saved back... to Bridge, not iPhoto.
Try setting PS as the editor not Bridge and see does that make a difference,
Also, when you send pics to an external editor, only a maximum of 4 will go. So you can only work in batches of four.

Question regarding iphoto and folders

I am a Mac newbie (9 months) and quite happy expect i freeze all the time after i installed lion, but that is for a different thread.;)
I had all of my pictures on an external hard drive. I had them organized in folders by year (also had a Year/edited for family photos we changed) and then by date/event...ie, 2011 04-05 Easter Dinner at Dad's.
When I got my macbook pro, I hooked up the hard drive and iphoto took care of importing all the pictures. (i have upgraded to iphoto 11). At first, I LOVED it. Putting face names in the pictures, etc, but after a while i got tired of having to reorganize them to find pictures the way i used to. I have over 15,000 pictures and renaming (even with the batch option) and moving them, and fixing dates, etc was becoming overwhelming. I found myself longing for my very simple folder organization. So i went to look for the folders, eventually found them and found out there were folders for originals, modified, thumbnails, etc. and when i went in my originals, they weren't in folders I had originally had on my external drive.
My wife, who is our picture editor, preffers photoshop and i have a windows laptop that i want to use for nothing other than pictures.
So......my question is:
How can i best take my photo's and put them back on a hard drive and then transfer them to the other laptop? Is there anyway to recover my old file system (deleted off the hard drive, except for an old backup but i have added thousands of pictures and have no way of telling which ones are in iphoto are old or new). I am fearful that if I just copy iphoto to the hard drive that the windows laptop will not read them, or that it will still show up with all of the different folders (original, modified, thumbs, etc)
And/or, is there a program to manage pictures for my macbook pro that will keep photos in folders more similarly to how i did before, so it will be easy to move pics from one laptop to the other.
Thanks!!!!

1. You know that iPhoto can do all this.
2. You can sort by Date -> View Menu -> Sort Photos.
3. You can search by date -> Click on the Search icon and select calendar. Then you can find all the pics from any day, month or year
4. You can search by date using Smart Albums too.
5. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
6. No there is no way to export back to your previous system. It's gone. You could have easily imported while mirroring that system, but it's too late for that now.
7. To get Photos out of iPhoto: File -> Export. Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
8. iPhoto can run a Referenced Library (where you have your own folder system) but I don't recommend it - especially for people unfamiliar with iPhoto and Macs. It also adds no extra functionality at all. It's just dumb storage.
