IPhoto and shared files

I used my MacBook Air via a hotel free wifi. When I went to transfer photos from my camera to the computer, iPhoto displayed shared files including holiday photos of a person I do not know, and worst of all, ***********. There seemed to be hundreds of files there. I never joined any sharing networks, so how did this happen? How do I avoid it in future?

You were seeing other computers on that network. Unless you transferred files, nothing on your computer was affected.

Iphoto and itunes files disappeared when i upgraded to os mavericks. How can i access these files?

iphoto and itunes files disappeared when i upgraded to os mavericks. How can i retrieve these files? Time machine is not opening my backup files on an external Lacie HD.

Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
What version did you have?
Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

Adding keywords to Iphoto and Finder file

I am scanning photos and adding keywords to photos in Iphoto. The original file is in Finder. Is there a way to add keywords to both the photo in Iphoto and the File in the Finder at the same time.
The Finder files are backup in case Iphoto crashes or I do something stupid and loss my photos.
Thanks

I am not sure what you mean by a referenced library.
a referenced library (the advanced option "copy imported items to the iPhoto library") has been unchecked?
Preferences/ Advanced/ Copy items to the Iphoto library ( the box has a check mark)
You then have a managed library so your photos are all copied into the iPhoto library. While there is no problem in keeping an extra copy of your original photos outside of iPhoto as long as it is on the same disk as the iPhoto library it is not a backup - any disk or computer failure will affect both equally - to have a backup it must be on different physical media

Can not find iPhoto and music files since upload of yosemite

how do you find iPhoto and music files after upgrade of yosemite on my mini mac

Same way as you did before. It doesn't change. More detail in your question might get a better answer.

Deleting a picture in iPhoto AND the file in the finder at once

How can I delete a picture in iPhoto and also delete the file of that picture in the finder in one step? In iTunes the program asks the question if the real file should be deleted also.

If you're running a Managed library then put the pic in the iPhoto trash and empty it. Note to do this you have to be viewing in an Event or Photos view, not in an album.
If you're running a Referenced Library, you can't. When you elected not to have iPhoto manage the files on import, you also elected not to have it manage the files on deletion.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

IPhoto and finder file structure

Hi everyone,
How can I make iPhoto use the file structure of Finder?
I understand the concept of "rolls" and the download from your camera is a new roll and these end up in your originals folder as well.
So in the course of a vacation I could have been in 5 cities and want to create albums of these. Is there a way to make the album show in finder? I tried to make a folder but you can't drag pictures into a folder. At least I couldn't.
I'm just trying to simplify life a little when I'm not using iPhoto and need a picture. Hope there is a setting to save stuff in folders outside if iPhoto.

RonsMac:
First, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't help the try the following:
NOTE: When you use BatChmod there's no indication of the process working after you enter your admin password except when it's done you get hit up for a donaton. Those settings I suggested can also be applied to your User (home) folder. I've done it several times. But only on your home folder!
Have you run Disk Utility and verified the hard drive? If no do so and see if it indicates that some repairs are necessary. It it does, boot into your system install disk, open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the first window after the language select window. Repair the disk and reboot.
If you have another account on the Mac, log into it and see if you can get iPHoto to export OK. If not, then I'd do the following:
1 - reapply the 10.4.10 COMBO updater.
2 - run the Quicktime 7.2 updater
3 - reinstall iPhoto (when you reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder).
If iPhoto exports OK in the other account then there's something in your primary account that is the culprit. One test is to determine if there's another preference file that's affecting iPhoto. Here's how to run the test:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I rescue Iphoto and Ivideo files from my dead imac 21" hdd?

Hello,
a month ago (after not using my imac 21" for 3 months) I plugged it in switched it on and as it was booting the fuses of my flat went off and there was a burn smell from my imac. It is out of warranty so I took it to an apple repairshop. Unfortunately it was more than powersupply and somehow the motherboard was damaged too. Costs cheaper to get a new one.
My question is, I have a lot of pictures and videos in iphoto and ivideo. Since I can not use the computer itself, is there a way of connecting the hdd as an external hdd to another pc or mac and get my pictures and videos out??
Thanks

Did the machine come with Mountain Lion?
Aside from needing the answer to that question (as the instructions are different depending on the original OS), the only safe way is to wipe the drive completely and then reinstall the original OS.
As for third party applications, you will need to check the licensing requirements of those apps to see if you can "pass it on".

IPhoto and RAW files from Olympus camera

I have an Olympus SP-500UZ and i have been using it without any problem, but today i took some pictures in RAW format to see the difference but i was unable to open them either using iPhoto or Preview. I can see the thumbnail of each image in Finder and i have opened the files using Olympus Master (it came with the camera) but i haven't been able to see them with iPhoto or get them in my Library. Any sugestions/help?

If there is I can not find it - Google provides a list of possible methods form Adobe and others

IPhoto and raw files

I bought my iMac g5 mainly for managing and editing (using the Gimp) my digital photos and I'm beginning to regret it.
I always shoot in raw (D70), but when I double click a picture in iPhoto it opens up a jpeg version (converted with who knows what settings) in the Gimp.
Surely if I click on a raw file the program to which the file is sent should get a raw file and not some converted version?
In fact it is a little wierder than this; if I drag a raw file onto the Gimp in the toolbar it opens up the raw file in Gimp (actually using the ufraw converter). However, if the raw file has ever been double-clicked, then Gimp opens up with iPhoto's jpeg.
There may be a setting somewhere to change this aberrent behaviour, but I haven't found it yet.
Anyone have an idea?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Don't regret buying the Mac. The problem is simply the iPhoto is not the software you should be using. I'm still working out what I want to do. I think it's going to work like this....
Use the software that came with the camera to download the image data. Store the images into folders with folder names that give the date and place or subject. (I will use either Canon or Nikon software depending on the camera.)
Use "shoebox" to tag and index the images. Shoebox allows much more sophisticatd tagging than iPhoto. For example tag the subject "Nicholas" and location "Los Angeles" and then a querry for "family" in "California" will find the image.
Shoebox, like iPhoto can launch an editor
The Editor I like is Gimp. Clean interface and it is fast.
however I'm keeping an open mind about PS.
I just started using the Mac too My other computer runs Linux. (Linux and Darwin are very much alike.) The image
data will continue to live on the Linux computer's RAID system.
I will import cropped and color corrected JPEG images into iPhoto as needed when I want to make slide shows and books and DVDs to give away.
I intend to re-evaluate this after iPhoto 6 is released in a January.
iPhoto RAW conversion system is just not targeted at the small minority of people who in the film era could see the difference between (say) Agfa's "Portrait 160" and Fugicolor 200. or between Velia and Kodachrome. Apple was just not thinking of people like that when they devaloped thier RAW
software. They were attempting to address the larger mass consummer market.

IPhoto and RAW file format Canon 7D

I recently purchased a Canon 7D and the RAW files are "not recognized". I shot RAW with a Nikon D60 and had no issues getting the images into iPhoto. Is there some sort of plugin or patch?
Thanks in advance!

Iphoto and duplicate file

Hello,
I have a lot of photo (22 000 and 36 Go)
i use iphoto a lot but i just discover that when i rotate a photo, this photo is duplicated. (i think i have 20% of all my photo that are duplicated)
How to force the rotated photo to be the new original photo ?
I don't want to keep the original photo.
thanks a lot

fabrice
You can't.
If you edit a photo, iPhoto preserves the original file. That file is not touched in any way and is preserved as a "digital negative".
If you don't want this feature that you have really only two choices:
1. Edit the photo before bringing it into iPhoto
or
2. Don't use iPhoto.

Backing up iphoto and other files via DVD

I have about 2000 photos and 1500 songs on my mac, and (silly me) have not fully backed them up. I have a superdrive (can burn DVDs or CDs) as well as an iomega zip for backup. I tried 3 ways, to no avail:
1) The zip drive is not large enough to hold even a portion of the iphoto library.
2) I can move portions of the iphoto library and burn CDs, but it takes 4 CDs to do so. There has to be an easier way.
3) I was trying to backup using DVD-ROM process (within iDVD), but idvd kept crashing prior to burning the DVD. (per the apple help directions, I select "Customize button" on iDVD menu, then Status, then change "encoder status" to DVD-ROM contents, then drag over iphoto library. It makes it over, but then crashes prior to my being able to burn DVD-ROM.
Any suggestions? I guess I could buy an external hard drive or .imac, but hoping to do this on the cheap.
Thanks.

I might be missing something. Why not just back all your data up to a DVD?
Pop in a blank DVD, double-click to open it. Drag all the stuff you want into the DVD window. Then choose File < Disk Burn.

IPhoto and sharing via email

When I am sharing photos from iPhoto via email, I am only able to add one recipient at a time. I there a setting somewhere that needs to be adjusted so that I can send a photo to more than one person at a time?

Just hit Return after you put in the first email address and then put in your next email address and so on...

Iphoto and avi file thumbnail problem

I have a imported my photo library into iphoto 08 but the thumbnails for the short vids taken on my camera do not show up- I just get a black thumbnail with a video camera in the corner. Is there a way to add the first shot of the video to these files or is there a way to import them where I will get the thumbnails?
Any help is appreciated. I have had my (first) mac since January and this is the first thing I couldn't work out easily for myself...

When you import a movie iPhoto grabs the first frame and uses it as a thumbnail. If the first frame is blank, well then that's what you got.
iPhoto is a photo manager - that is, it's a database with a built-in image viewer. But the key factor is the database. iPhoto cannot work with images that have not been imported.
I have no idea why you're moving photos around like this.
Are you running a Managed Library or a Referenced Library?
If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.
