IPhoto book - no photos in the panel.

Help! My photos don't appear in the photo pane to the right of the project, in this case a book. Even for existing projects with photos in them. Bottom right button produces a blank pane; doesn't matter what option at the top is chosen (all photos in the project, unplaced photos, etc.) This was working, up until this morning - now doesn't. Did I click on something I shouldn't have?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Can iPhoto place my photos in the order that they are flagged and not randomly?

I have flagged a photos in the order that I would like them to appear. My daughter's first year. Is there a way to import them into the book in the order they are flagged? Automatically and not manually. Thank you.

With iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks I'm able to manually sort the photos in an album, select them all and create a book with the photos in the order that they were in the album.
It also works if I only select the album and create the book.
What version of iPhoto and system are you using?

Hi I was so excited today to get my 100 page. Iphoto book. However on 3 of the map pages my maps have not printed. It's the first 3 in the book and the names of the countries are there just no pics of the maps. I checked my PDF and they where there. What can I do?

My credit card and address are registered in the UK. I would like to send an iphoto book to German but the site will not allow me to change the country and therefore the address.

IPhoto lost some photos after the update

Hi!
I Recently updated to iPhoto 11.
After some time I realized that iPhoto didn't show me events that I had before the update.
iPhoto don't show me the thumbnails. There is nothing there, no exclamation sign... Nothing. And when double click on the photo it appears a big exclamation sign with a black background. When I go to file/ reveal in Finder it cant find it.
I tried rebuilding the library with cmd +alt! I tried all the options. I also tried with iPhoto library Manager.
What else I can do? There are 5 years of photos. I also didn't have a backup with time machine.
thanks!!!

If the photos are missing and you don't have a back up well then your possibilities are very limited. Best I can suggest is to try ands if there are any recoverable files. Download File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Iphoto keeps moving photos to the Trash

I installed the latest version of Iphoto 11...When I initially installed it a large portion of my photos were moved to the trash...I have moved them back multiple times but everytime I shut Iphoto down it puts them back in the trash...Very frustrating...
Any help would be appreciated

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 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 book flagged photos not showing and cannot be added to my book

.

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

HT4906 I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Do I need to upgrade iPhoto to put photos on the iCloud??

Using Photo Stream is the same as putting photos on iCloud? Not sure of the terminology?

PS is part of iCloud. PS requires iPhoto 9.2 or later. Other iCloud features have different requirements

I made an iPhoto book but now all the images are gone?

I recently made a book in iPhoto and never finished it. When I re-open the book in iPhoto, the formatting and all the text exists but the images are all gone. Is there a way to try and rebuild it? Thanks-M

Do the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

What is the maximum number of photos in a iphoto book?

What is the maximum number of photos in an iphoto book?

Depends on the theme and the page layouts you - choose - a book has a maximum of 100 pages and as far as I have seen the most photos on a page is 16 - so 1600 would be the Max if you used 100 pages of 16 photos each
for an overview of page layouts for iPhoto '09 (all are still valid in iPhoto '11 - with some more added) see Liz Castro's web site - http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage

Iphoto Books: How to Enable "fit photo to frame size" when theme grays it out by default

Don't know if this has been posted before or not, but I've been using the "Modern" Theme in iPhoto books and trying for the life of me to figure out how to get my photos to not crop while they're in a single-photo framed layout (I'm not using 4:3 photos; mine are 8.5" by 11"). Even fully zoomed out my photos cut off at the top and bottom. I knew about the "fit photo to frame size" option but the theme had it greyed out--except for on one page, in which it was already enabled. So I must have done it before without paying attention, but it took forever to figure out how to do it again.
Here's how:
1. Open up the page you want to modify. I'm assuming here that your photos are already placed, but if not, place the photo you want to use.
2. Click the Layout tab.
3. Change the layout to the single page full bleed option--no frame. Your photo should now be blown up across the page.
4. Right click the photo. The "fit photo to frame size" option should now be available for you to check off. Go ahead and activate it.
5. Change the layout back to the single photo framed option. Your photo will now fit inside the frame, although to truly see the whole thing you have to open up the Options tab and select the borderless option.
To save time in steps 1-3, and step 5, you can also change the layout of all your pages at once by clicking page 1 (not the cover, the next page), then opening the Layout tab, then selecting the layout you want. You still have select the "fit photo to frame size" individually for each photo.
Hope this is useful for people.

There is an option for the Initial View that is "Magnification:" "Fit Page". And this works for the initial page when the PDF is opened and it does not matter what the page size it, Acrobat/Reader will automatically fill the screen with the page. If you want the zoom type to change with each page then you need add a page open script to each page to set the pages zoom type to "zoomtype.fitP"
this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;

Is it possible to transfer a completed iPhoto book from one Mac to another, keeping the entire book structure intact?

I recently went on vacation and decided to use some of the free time to create some books of family photos. I transfered the entire iPhoto library of pictures from my my iMac to a MacBook which had never before been used for photos. The library transferred perfectly with all photos, albums, calendars, books, etc. intact. (Thank you, AirDrop!)
I successfully created and ordered 3 different books of photos on the MacBook. Now I want to transfer just those 3 completed books back to the iMac for archiving. Can I use the "Export" command to do this? If so, should I use JPEG, TIFF, etc?
I realize I could simply transfer the entire library file back from the MacBook back to the iMac, but I'd prefer not to take up all that disc space by having two photo libraries on my hard drive (and I'm chicken to delete the original iMac library).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bob Baker

Yes you can move the book but not by exporting
The book is just entries in the iPhoto database so the only way to transfer it is ot transfer the entire library it is in - you can make a "mini" library containing only one book to make the transfer easier - see Old Toad's tutorial #9 - http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No._9.html
You also can save a PDF of the book and transfer that but you can not edit pr process it

When I create a new photo album in Iphoto it adds all my photos in the library

I love my macbook pro but still not fully understanding Iphoto. When I create a new photo album and drag photos over from a disk it seems to add all photos from my library. When I remove them it removes them from all the albums. HELP!

Add the photos from your disc to iPhoto, then drag them from the iPhoto Event or photos to the Album.
You can delete photos from the Album without removing them from the computer. If you delete them in the Photos or Events area, they are removed from iPhoto, therefore taking them out of the Album.
The photos have to be in iPhoto to exist in an Album. They cannot exist in an Album and not be in iPhoto..
Hope that helps...

Iphoto books have received bad raps years ago... is it still risky business. Are the pages glossy? matte? quality ok?

after reading negative posts concerning iphoto books I wonder if the service has improved?

Guess only you can answer that - I see the comments here being overwhelmingly positive - and that is amazing on a forum devoted to problems rather than successes
All of mine have been great

I've connected my digital camera to my 2013 mac mini and used iPhoto to import photos from the camera.
HOW and WHEN can I safely remove the camera please?

Dismount the camera by clicking on the unmount icon on the right in the iPhoto source pane. Once it is unmounted remove it
