IPhoto and printing pictures

I´ve just installed iPhoto 6. When printing a picture the print window comes up with the right part of the window unfinished/lacking, and when clicking "Advanced printing" the window is just a mess. Anyone experienced this?
iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

This sounds like it is more likely a problem with your camera.  Digital cameras have setting for resolution and amount of compression used.  I would start by looking there.  If resolution is set low or compression too high, the picture might look okay on a camera's two inch screen but like c**p in iPhoto.

    I read another post about this that suggested restoring preferences, but I don't know how to do this. I don't want to re-install iPhoto for sure.

  • Can I transfer and print pictures taken with my iphone?

    Can anyone, please, tell me if it is possible to transfer and print pictures taken with my iphone. I would need to print out a few pictures, but I could not fina any information about transferring or printing out pictures that are on my "Camera Roll" section of my iphone. Thank you very much for any help.

    When you connect your iPhone for the first time after taking a picture, Windows or Mac will pull up a dialog asking what you would like to do with "Digital Camera" or whatever the USB recognized question is saved as.
    With Windows, it will have "Camera and Picture Wizard" which will copy all pictures and save to where you specify or it will ask if you want to print them. **
    You can also change the default selection somehow to change to a new application if you installed such as Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. Note that after you check the dialog box "Remember my choice" whatever the wording is, you have to figure out where to change your choice afterwards.
    With Mac, it has iLife to copy the photos for printing.
    An alternative is to save the photos, then burn them to CD, and take it to CVS or a One Hour Photo shop to do it.
    ** The iPhone will still retain it's captured stills and re-ask the same question again and again until you delete the photographs on the camera application.

  • Iphoto and uploading pictures

    I am having problems with my photos on my mac. I have them all organized into folders in iphoto. But then, when I go to email pictures, or share pictures on snapfish.com, I cannot locate my folders in iphoto. The pictures are completely disorganized. I think they are divided by roll # instead of in the folders I created for them in iphoto. Anyone know how to find the iphoto folders when trying to upload? Thank you!!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Because iPhoto is a database application, you are supposed to stay out of the iPhoto Library folder altogether. Rooting around in there from the Finder is a recipe for disaster, as any changes you make will damage your database. In addition, your Albums and Folders are virtual entities that exist only in the database file; they don't exist in any folder structure accessible from the Finder.
    The sanctioned way of doing this is to select the photos using iPhoto (not the Finder). Then do File > Export > File Export to a folder on your Desktop. You have the option to rename the exports or resize them for better performance in an email. Select the exports for your email or uploading, then delete them when you are finished. Exports are copies; your files remain safe in the library.
    Regards.

  • What is the relationship between iPhoto and my pictures ?

    I hope you don't mind if I pose another question to you: one that's been bothering me for some time. It has to do with iPhoto and storing photos in general. So far I have been placing my photos in >my mac>my pictures and then working through iPhoto to sort them into categories, events, etc. So far, so good, but I don't understand the relationship between the two. For example, I can create new folders in iPhoto, but that doesn't change my original folders in my pictures at all; so where are the iPhoto folders on my mac? And if I delete from >my pictures, then does that also automatically delete them from iPhoto, or visa versa? The set up that I would ideally like to have is that everything I do in iPhoto automatically updates my actual photos in >my mac>my pictures. Is that possible? Or am I going about this the wrong way? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks. Adrian

    You're going about it the wrong way
    iPhoto is a Database. The entire point of it is that you can manage your photos without recourse to your files. This is more powerful and a whole lot more flexible than files in folders.
    iPhoto can run in two modes: Managed and Referenced.
    In Managed (the default mode) your photos are copied into the iPhoto Library when you import them. I would strongly suspect that this is the case in your set-up. This is the best way to run iPhoto.
    It also means that you now have two copies of the photos - on in the iPhoto Library, the other in your Pictures Folder. (And by the way, there's no "my pictures" folder on a Mac. It's just the Pictures Folder. I'm always amused by the "my" prefix on WIndows folders. Who else's files would they be? If they belong to someone else, shouldn't you have a "their" Pictures Folder too? Any enough of a pointless digressions)
    In Referenced mode iPhoto does not copy the files into the LIbrary. It simply references them where you have put them. I'll add a bit to the end of this post explaining some of the gotchas with this mode.
    How can you tell if you're running a Managed or a Referenced Library? Go to iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. Is the box at Copy Items to the iPhoto Library checked?
    As iPhoto is a database there is
    a: No relationship between the photos in your Pictures Folder and iPhoto if you have a Managed Library
    b: Minimal relationship if you have a Referenced Library.
    For example, I can create new folders in iPhoto, but that doesn't change my original folders in my pictures at all; so where are the iPhoto folders on my mac?
    They are entries in the iPhoto database.
    And if I delete from >my pictures, then does that also automatically delete them from iPhoto,
    Again: depending on whether your Managed or Referenced:
    a: Managed: No it does not, makes no dfference to iPhoto at all.
    b: Referenced: You've just corrupted your iPhoto Library.
    When you use iPhoto it's your "Go To" app for photographs. The point is that you don't manipulate the files in the Finder any more. You use iPhoto to import, iPhoto to organise, share and so on, you use iPhoto to Delete too.
    or visa versa?
    Managed: Deleting from iPhoto also removes the files from the HD.
    Referenced: Deleting Files from iPhoto only removes those elements within the iPhoto Library. You then need to trash the original file yourself. Why? When you elected to Reference the files you said to iPhoto "I want to manage the files myself" So manage them.
    The set up that I would ideally like to have is that everything I do in iPhoto automatically updates my actual photos in >my mac>my pictures. Is that possible?
    That's not possible. That's file organising, and as I said, iPhoto is about Photo organising. Albums, Folders, Slideshows etc in iPhoto are all virtual, that is they are entries in the database. The advantage of this is that a photo can be in 50 albums and use no extra disk space at all. Also, iPhoto has no ability to manage files outside the iPhoto Library Folder.
    So how do you actually get to your files if you want to email, upload etc?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    *To work with another editor*
    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.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    Finally +On Running a Referenced Library:+
    *How to do it:*
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    *What Happens:*
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    *Some things to consider:*
    1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
    My own opinion:
    I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
    I know there's lot there, so by all means post back if you need more
    Regards

  • IPhoto and deleting pictures

    i delete pics form iPhoto and they keep coming back again... help as I'm duplicating my efforts on back up ...

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    Note:  The last 12 month album is a smart album.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • When I burn a CD and then try and print pictures they are blurry. Why?

    Pictures are very clear on computer, Very clear when I print from memory card. However, I burn to CD and they print very blurry. I burn from a Mac computer.

    Does this question have something to do with iPhoto by chance? If so, I would suggest starting a new thread in the iPhoto forum for help with that software.

  • Error when opening iPhoto and missing pictures

    I don't know what exactly would have impacted the fact that when I open iPhoto is goes to a message saying "Your Photo Library was not found" I don't know where it would have gone. I downloaded the new version of iTunes and allowed iPhoto to sync to my iPod. I only synced some of the albums I created but the ones I did, show up on my iPod but I have now record that they were ever on my computer. I did a search for them in Spotlight (came up with nothing) and I don't even have my pictures folder anylonger. I know I didn't delete the folder or the pictures. I just want my photos back. I want to know what I can do, if anything, to get them back. I know I should have backed them up/saved them somewhere else, I realize that but I didn't. So where do I go from here?

    First of all, look for the iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder. Is it still there? If so, then you have a chance to recover your photos.
    Next, look in the library folder to verify that your .jpg files are still readable. You will have to go down multiple levels. Click on the .jpg file icons to open them. Do not make ANY changes to the files!
    The .jpg files are your photos. If you can't find them, then you can try searching for them. If you tell us what version of Mac OS X you are running, we can tell you how to do the search.

  • Image Capture didn't import photos to iPhoto and now pictures are deleted

    I went to import photos from my camera like I normally do.  Image Capture opens up and I hit "import all" and always have "delete after import" checked.  The pictures imported and then it's supposed to open up iPhoto (which it did) and then import the photos into there, but it didn't.  iPhoto opened and then sat there with a blank page, nothing happened, my photos weren't uploaded and now my camera is empty and the photos are gone.  How did this happen? And how do I get my pictures back?? Please help!!

    -This is iphoto '09 version 8.1.2
    And what is your MacOS X version?
    BUT! I used "Find Any File" demo software and it helped me find the "photos" but they weren't in iphoto, but on my mac(still not too sure where it was found.)
    Do you have "Find Any File" still open?
    If you click one of the found images, it will show you the path to the image files.Could you post what you are seeing then?
    Does the path start with your Home folder or outside? Desrcibe exactly the the names of the nested folders.
    Now my new problem is that the photos that were uploaded(or found) are tiny and pixelated. What i'm hoping is that I found a cheap version of the photos that were uploaded or something,
    Perhaps you found the thumbnails folder - if you can give us the path there, we may be able to find the matching Masters or Originals folder.

  • Need advice on comments in iPhoto and sending photos to other people

    Two related questions.
    1) I'm on a study abroad and I want to send photos home to my family. My parents use computers and my grandparents don't, so I want to email photos to my parents so that they can print them and show them to my grandparents. I want to include captions with these photos. iPhoto has a description box for each photo, so that seems like a natural place to type captions. But then, I can't figure out how to email the photos with the descriptions, or how to print them with the descriptions. Preferably I'd like to send an entire album as an iPhoto backup or something like that and then my parents could open it in iPhoto and print the photos on photo paper with captions underneath them. This seems like a fairly obvious feature for a program like iPhoto so I'm feeling stupid that I can't figure it out.
    2) I also want to post photos online to send to people. I've been using Kodak albums but they don't let you post photos at high resolution or full screen. They also don't do video. Any advice for other sites that are better? I really am only interested in free sites, unless the fee for a pay site is very very low. Bonus points if you know how to use iPhoto comments on kodak or other galleries so I don't have to type them twice.
    Edit: I do have the ophoto program which makes uploading to kodak easier, but I haven't been able to get it to browse my iphoto library directly, I have to export the files to finder first and get them from there. So I can't tell if it would use the comments if it worked properly.
    Thanks!

    When you select the photos to email and click on the eMall button at the bottom you'll get a window which the option to include the Titles and/or Comments. The resulting email will have the title and/or comment below each photo as seen in this screenshot . If the recipient does not have a Mac they may not get the picture above the title and comment as we see in the email that we compose but they can match the title (which is the file name unless changed) to the file name and get the comments pertinent to that photo.
    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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • HT204414 How to import both iPhoto and Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library (Photos app)

    Hi all,
    Based on the article here (Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support) has anyone tried to bring both an iPhoto and Aperture library into iCloud Photo Library so that both libraries are available as one in iCloud and form the one Photos app library rather than being seen as separate libraries. I don't want the two separated as I have 200GB's of space in iCloud which is plenty to hold the two's collective space of about 40GB's.
    It seems as though the procedure is pretty simple.
    First of all set one of your libraries as the System Photo Library, this will happen naturally with setting up Photos app for the first time. I chose iPhoto as the original library.
    Let this library upload all it's photo's to iCloud over a few minutes, hours, days etc.
    When finished, enter your other library by closing Photos app and reopening while holding down the Option key (usually Alt). In this case I now opened the Aperture library that it had found.
    Under Preferences > iCloud set this library as the System Photo Library and in turn it will have the ability to upload to iCloud.
    When it's finished I suppose you will have both iPhoto AND Aperture pictures in the one iCloud Photo Library.
    At least I hope the above makes sense.
    Anybody already tried this with good / bad results, let us know here.

    found it here  - 'If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photo Library, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photo Library. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photo Library for more than one library in Photos.'
    That bit seems clear. You can merge photos from different libraries by making them 'designated' first  .
    BUT  this means that Photos app only shows you library A , or library B, depending on which one you have opened , but Icloud library contains photos from Both library A and library B .
    is this correct ?
    and if so, does it not get a but confusing ?!?

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

    If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
    Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.
