IPhoto and Powerpoint Resolution issues

I'm currently making a book for a recent trip and I wanted to design my own pages versus using the defaults in iPhoto. I designed my own page using powerpoint and sent it to iphoto. When I put the picture on the page in iPhoto it shows the low resolution warning. The photos were taken in 8 megapixel, but the powerpoint slides show in iPhoto as 720 x 540. Does anyone know how to convert powerpoint slides in higher resolution? Did I miss something?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into PP's slide sorter mode, select all of the slides and start a print job of them. Once in the Print window select the PDF->Send PDF to iPhoto option. That will produce a 2200 x 1700 pixel jpg file for each slide in the presentation and import it into iPhoto. You can then use those images for your pages.
If you would like a larger dimension file for each slides edit the Send PDF to iPhoto workflow with Automator and change the 200 dpi to 300 dpi. You can find that workflow in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder.
Tutorial #6 describes how it's done with an iPhoto book so that you can make a iDVD slideshow or web page slideshow. It's the same process. This is the result of the web slideshow of a book.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Deleted iphoto and powerpoint

I was trying to clean up my desktop and I put Iphoto and powerpoint into the trash, thinking it'd be okay cause they were in my dock. I emptied my trash. The app icons show up in the doc but wont open and have a question mark within them. Mac OS X Verison 10.6.8. Do I have to purchase new apps?

You need to reinstall them from their original disks, or in the case of an iPhoto version which shipped with the Mac, the computer's original disks.

Iphoto and i movie issue

how can i reinstall iPhoto and iMovie on my macbook air (if they are not shown on the purchases collumn in the app store)

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.

IPhoto and Address Book issues

I went to Finder window to locate a picture in iPhoto. I noticed in the iPhoto library files labelled as e.g.Thumb32Segment.data etc (they are all Segment.data files). When I opened them, Address Book opens them with a dialogue window stating 'No new cards added". I sent them to Trash and deleted them. Nest time I opened iPhoto, a dialogue window opened stating 'Rebuilding Thumbnail Cache'... When I checked through Finder, it would seem the Trashed files have been re-formed. I Trashed them again using Secure Trash... Guess what! You guessed it.. Next time I opened iPhoto, same thing happened.. 'Rebuilding Thumbnail Cache'.. and yes, even though they were 'Secure Trash(ed)', they've reappeared. I'm new to computing, so I'd like to know what is happening, is it significant, and is there anything I can do to stop it. Or am I best just not knowing, leaving the Thumbnail Segment.data files where they are and hoping for the best?

The photos appeared to be missing because iPhoto had lost track of their locations. This can be caused by user tampering in the iPhoto library folder. If you move or rename the photos or their folders, it changes the file path, which breaks the link to the iPhoto database. Or, sometimes a database file becomes corrupted and iPhoto loses the links even without such user tampering. A power interruption, crash, or force quit while iPhoto is writing to the database can cause database corruption.
How you recover those photos may depend on the underlying cause of the damage. If you know you moved or renamed something inside the library folder, the fix is fairly straightforward. Quit iPhoto, locate those files inside the iPhoto Library folder (using the Finder -- sometimes 2 wrongs do make a right) and drag them to the Desktop. Then launch iPhoto and locate the thumbnails representing those photos. Move them to the iPhoto Trash (in the Source List) then *empty the iPhoto Trash*. That clears all trace of the photos from the database, so that you may now import the files from the Desktop and start over with them. It would be a good idea after that process to run the database rebuild that Old Toad advised, since the direct manipulation of the library files could have caused minor damage to your database file.
If you didn't tamper inside the Library folder, then your database may be corrupted. While it may seem to only affect a few photos now, the damage could be hidden and may appear to progress. The fix for this is to follow Old Toad's instructions to rebuild the database. With a mildly damaged database, the rebuild will restore the links to your photos, and all will be well. With a severely damaged database, the rebuild process will bring all the damage immediately to light. In that case, you'll have to resort to more drastic means to restore your library. But wait... you say you keep regular backups? You can take the damaged "Library6.iPhoto" (that's the main database file) out of your current library, and copy the good one from your backup into your library. This will restore your library back to the state of your backup. Any photos you've added or work you've done since the backup will have to be re-imported (as described above) or redone.
Also, why would iPhoto rebuild thumbnails of .data files from Address Book?
Those .data files have nothing to do with Address Book. They are created by iPhoto for your database. What happened was that when you opened them, your Mac decided that Address Book was the best application to use for those files. All files have information about which application should be used to open them. To see it, select the file and do File > Get Info (Command i). The get info box has a section "open with" which reports the default application assigned by the file. You can change that assignment there. Or you can right-click (control-click) on the file and use the contextual menu to change the "open with >" designation. When I look at my Thumb...Segment.data files, the "open with" is set to "none". Yours somehow got set to Address Book. Since AB didn't recognize the files, it gave you the error message. You could set yours to "none" but since you know not to open them directly, there is really no need to do anything.
Regards.

Aspect ratio and menu resolution issues

I've just come across an issue with resolution and picture aspect. I've maneged to kick all of my STBs except 1 into this **bleep**ty behavior. It started when I just hooked up our main living room set to the box after moving. No matter what I did the picture was being displayed as a 16:9 letterboxed 4:3. Meaning, the 16:9 HD picture is being displayed in a 4:3 box with black bars top and bottom, and then that 4:3 has grey bars on both sides. I've tried all varieties of output resolution on the STB and picture size on the TV to no avail. Finally after swapping through settings for 30min it came back to displaying 16:9 HD as full screen. But now the remaining issue is that all menu screens are sort of fuzzy resolution. I went to check one of my other sets to make sure this wasn't normal and the menu screens are very sharp. Unfortunately I checked the resolution output and played with it just to see what happens and kicked this STB into the same fuzzy menu behavior and an odd new display - it is stretching AND letterboxing 16:9. So the aspect of the picture is something like 22:9 with black bars top and bottom. No matter what I do I can't fix it. The one remaining STB that I haven't dared to tinker with is the media server because the menu is crystal clear anddf the picture display is correct.
I haven't called tech support yet but did use the troubleshooting tools to reset the box to no avail.

Go to Menu => Settings=> Audio & Video=> Video Settings
Video Format should be 1080i 16:9
SD Override set to stretch
TV Type 16:9
Graphics Settings set to HD
Video Sharpness set to default or higher depending on your preference
Once that is complete you might still need to adjust your TVs settings.

Aperture + iPhoto for iOS resolution issues

I'm trying to test out syncing some of my photos from Aperture 3.2.3 to iPhoto for iOS 1.0 (173) on an iPhone 4S in anticipation of getting my new iPad. Unfortunately, I'm running into problems. It seems no matter what I do, my images appear as 3.6MP.
My understanding is that iTunes syncs the previews generated by Aperture to iOS devices instead of the original files. I'd be happier with the originals, but I can live with just previews. My main goal right now is to use the iPhone/iPad as a sorting device: eliminate the garbage and then do final editing on my color calibrated iMac.
In Aperture, I've made a test project that I'm syncing with iTunes. I only have one photo in there. In Aperture's Preferences, under Previews, I set the following:
New Projects automatically generate previews: checked
Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible: unchecked
Share previews with iLife and iWork: Always
Photo Preview: Don’t Limit
Photo Preview quality: 12 High
I Deleted the Preview of my image, then Generated a Preview (holding option while right clicking). I quit both Aperture and iTunes and relaunched Aperture. Launched iTunes, unsynced my Project with my phone, opened iPhoto on the phone to make sure the image/project was gone, quit iPhoto on phone and resynced.
I’m still ending up with a 3.6MP image even though the original is 16.1MP (5.01MB).
Images from the built in camera on the iPhone 4S show up as full 8MP images, so I don’t think it’s a megapixel limitation.
I just tried Exporting a Master from Aperture to a folder and then syncing that folder. Same exact issue occurs after syncing with iTunes: 16.1MP image changes to 3.6MP. 3264x4928 px changes to 1536x2319 px.
I wonder if it’s an iPhone limitation. I’ll have to do more testing when my iPad arrives.

I believe the the Previews are optimised for use on the iOS device, hence the reduced size.

Iphoto and Powerpoint

Would appreciate it if any one can help. My daughter has just got back from doing a presentation at school. She cant use Pages as the school PC systems just cant read it. She created in Powerpoint and imported photos from Facebook and iphoto by using drag and drop. When she got to school the presentation worked, but all the photos had "You need Quicktime decompressor to view this photo" any idea why or how this can be corrected? Thanks

"She created in Powerpoint and imported photos from Facebook and iphoto by using drag and drop. When she got to school the presentation worked, but all the photos had "You need Quicktime decompressor to view this photo" any idea why or how this can be corrected?"
In addition to Larry's suggestion consider this…
after she's done creating the presentation in Power Point, she could also just export it as a PDF via *Print > Save as PDF…*
PDF is a very compatible format and can usually be viewed anywhere. To present a PDF full-screen simply do the following:
1) in Preview on the Mac press Command (Apple) + Shif + F
2) in Adobe Reader press Command (PC: CTRL) + L
Advance by pressing the arrow keys. For simple, static slides this is in my experience the most trouble-free method and it avoids the problems you mentioned as well as the need to resave every image in a different format.

IMovie 5, Quicktime 7.5.5 and PowerPoint 2004 issues

Hi,
I have a movie I've created in iMovie HD (currently MPEG-4 format) and wish to insert it into a PowerPoint presentation, created in PowerPoint 2004. I have QuickTime 7.5.5 and OSX 10.4.11.
If I export the iMovie movie as a QuickTime MPEG4 file (.mov) it will play fine in quicktime but when I import it into PowerPoint (Insert --> Movie --> From file) it displays a message on the slide saying "QuickTime and an MPEG-4 video decoder are required to display this picture", although the movie plays fine. Similarly, if I open it in QuickTime it'll play fine but if I copy a still frame from QuickTime and paste it into Photoshop I get the same message as PowerPoint.
How can I overcome this issue? I've tried exporting as AVI for PowerPoint, but the quality is beyond unacceptable, despite the movie playing fine.
Thanks for the help!

Iphoto and back up issues

Can you help please.
I have a MBPro and am looking to move my iphoto library from the MBP to a 1 ter bite Mypassport external HD. I have time machine running from a seperate external HD so this one is merely used to hold everything, freeing up the MBP memory.
Firstly, what is the best way of moving the 12000 photos from the MBP to the external HD and then finally when I delete all of the photos from the MBP memory will that effect the events I have set up as most of my 12000 photos are grouped into events rather than albums and obvioulsy dont want to loose any of them whilst moving and deleting.
Thanks for your help in advance.

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.

IPhoto and Facebook - Syncing issues with publication error

I am having trouble with the syncing function using the facebook icon at the bottom right of iPhoto '09. I create a facebook album with several photos, and it seems to take the appropriate time to upload the photos. But when I go to Facebook, there is only a few, if any photos in the album. It did create the album, however. I delete the album and repeat the same steps, and a different amount of photos would upload this time, but nowhere near the correct amount. Also when i try to sync the albums again, usually an error message comes up saying...
"An error occurred with the publication of album "(Album Name)." Do you want to remove the album from your library?
And then in small print
"The feed could not be found or is invalid."
And then the option to remove or keep the album.
Why am I having syncing problems?
For now I am using the Export function and a facebook plugin which works fine, but I want the ability to add photos to libraries and sync rather than using the export function.

Same problems here, multiple albums. It will upload a couple photos, then say it can't find the album.
(then Keep or Remove Album blah blah, because that's a good feature. oh wait, we couldn't find your photos, so we'll just throw em all out, cool?)

I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011). Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all. I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store". I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere. Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

Iphoto and external hard drive issues

I have backed up my Iphoto onto an external hard drive and then upgraded my iphoto and can't access any photographs. How do I restore my iphoto library from the external hard drive?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Duplication Issues with Photo Sync via iTunes/iPhoto and Photo Stream/iCloud (Detailed Scenario Given)

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to share an issue I am having with photo syncing between my iDevices.
Here is how I USED to sync my Photos between my iDevices (no issues with photo duplication)
Note: In this scenario, I use iTunes and iPhoto on my Mac. iCloud and Photo stream have NOT been activated in this case.
1. Take photos via iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. After a month or so, I will connect my iPhone to my Mac.
3. Import my Photos in iPhoto and arrange Events and Photos in monthly sections and add some of them in a separate Albums (ex. Written Notes Photos) for easy access.
4. Once the import is done, iPhoto prompts an option to delete photos in my Camera Roll which I do as I like to start a fresh month with empty Camera Roll in my iPhone.
5. In order to access the Photos I have imported in iPhoto in my iPhone, I go to iTunes and sync all my photos to my iPhone. This syncs my events, photos, faces, albums as they have been arranged in iPhoto in my Mac. (I cant delete them in my iPhone once they are synced. I have to delete in my iPhoto and sync again to have similar setup in my iPhone which isn't a problem).
NOW I decided I don't want to manually go through all this process and went on to enable the Photo Stream ON in my iPhone and iPhoto with iCloud.
THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM ENSUES.
1. I Take photos with my iPhone that saves in Camera Roll
2. This automatically syncs with my Mac due to Photo Stream which a really convenient.
3. It syncs automatically to Photo Stream, Events, Photos, Faces section in the iPhoto and I put put some of them (notes) in a separate album.
THE PROBLEM:
The Photos does not show up in the Album, Events and Photos Folder in my iPhone. They are only shown in Camera Roll. So I thought to sync using iTunes so the new Photos will be arranged in their appropriate folder like it used to with my prior process of syncing. This worked, HOWEVER the photos in my iPhone started showing DUPLICATES! Apparently, one comes from Photo Stream (which, if I delete on my phone also deletes in all my iDevices) and the other duplicate is from the iTunes sync (this sets up my photos as arranged in iPhoto which is what i WANT to happen as Photo Stream does not sync them accordingly).
SOLUTION I AM IN SEARCH FOR:
I want to be able to take photos with my iPhone that automatically syncs in iCloud AND iPHOTO AS ARRANGED IN MY MAC (Albums, Events etc) WITHOUT PROBLEM OF PHOTO DUPLICATES.

Other folks have resolved similar issues by trashing the iPod Photo Cache.

IPhoto and Aperture referenced library issues

Hi,
For the last couple of days I've been busy trying to get my iPhoto/Aperture library to work properly. I recently created a referenced library using Aperture because of lack of space on my internal ssd. I can see all of my Projects, thumbnails, metadata etc. in both iPhoto and Aperture when my external drive is disconnected. However, there are two major issues:
1) Most of the video thumbnails are broken, both in Aperture and iPhoto. By double clicking a thumbnail of a video (.mov, .avi etc.) it sometimes starts playing (with the external drive connected), sometimes it doesn't, totally inconsistent. I can export the video and it works just fine.
2) While using iPhoto with the external drive disconnected, all Events are there, the thumbnails are there, everything looks ok, but I can only view some of the previews/photos after double clicking the thumbnails. A dialogue opens up saying "The volume for [imagefilename] cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume..", but I can actually see the full size preview behind this dialogue. By clicking "Cancel" the photo dissapears and is replaced by a black screen with a grey exclamation mark. This does not occur while using Aperture, I can see all of my previews in full glory when the external drive is disconnected. However, with the external drive connected everything works in iPhoto (except above mentioned issue with videos).
Please boys and girls, I need your help on this one!
System information
OS: Maverick 10.9.1
Aperture: 3.5.1
iPhoto: 9.5.1
Thanks!
//Michel

1. Are these videos different formats? Or the same?
2. See my answer to your duplicate post.
