Photos not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09)

I've copied my iPhoto library to a new computer and even though all pictures are in the library, about half of them are not visible in iPhoto v8.1 (iLife 09).
• Only 74 events of 219 are visible.
• Picture count on new computer is 2752 and 7709 on old computer in iPhoto
• iPhoto on older machine is v7.1.5 (iLife 08)
• New albums have been created on new machine that must have disappeared during previous iPhoto updates.
• Photo library size is 3 GB larger on new machine
• Running 10.5.8 on older machine and 10.6.1 on new machine
I've played with "Hide Photos" and no change.
Any one has any ideas how to correct this?
Thanx in advance.

Just an update on this...re-copied and I'm having the same issue. Here are some additional testing I did.
• Updated iPhoto to v8 (iLife 09) on the original machine (G5 PM) and no issues.
• Copied updated Library to new machine (iMac 3.06) and still same issue. Its running iPhoto 8.1
• Updated iPhoto to 8.1 on G5 and I'm encountering the same issue as the iMac. Only see 74 events out of some 220 events and 2752 pictures out of 7100 pictures.
Conclusion - iPhoto 8.1 (iLife 09) messes up something in my photo library.
TD - thanx for your quick feedback.
BTW - just got notification that a new iPhoto update, 8.1.1, is available! Going to try it and update the results here.

Uninstalling iPhoto Update from iLife

Does anyone know how to uninstall the iPhoto update from iLife (and even for iMovie too)? I really don't like the new iPhoto as simple things are now more difficult or aren't available anymore. The changes seem more superficial as I haven't found any new tools or processes that help. Don't even get me started on the iMovie problems. Please tell me there is a way to go back.

iPhoto 7 did not make things harder to do, in fact it is virtually identical to the previous version!
I generally agree - But a few things are different and there is a requirement that a user LEARN how to use the new features and those that have changed - for doing that you get a greatly expanded capability so IMHO it is a great trade off - but for a user who is unable or unwilling to learn a few new things it can be difficult - as can ANY new version of ANY new software

Cant open iphoto after getting ilife

Like others I downloaded ilife and get a message "in order to open iphoto you need to update for latest version". I removed everything, tried again but no good. What should I do please. I was happy with previous version of iphoto. Looking at all the problems reported here, i think I will revert to that. How do I do that please, if i decide to do so

Like others I downloaded ilife and get a message "in order to open iphoto you need to update for latest version".
No - no one here has downloaded iPhoto '11 or iLife '11 - it is not an available legal download - updates are available to download
I removed everything, tried again but no good.
Exactly what did you remove?
What should I do please. I was happy with previous version of iphoto.
What version of iLife was that?
Looking at all the problems reported here, i think I will revert to that.
Note that the reason all for those problems are here is -- BECAUSE - this the place to report and solve problems - making a judgement here is like going to the hospital emergency room and deciding that everyone in town is sick - few people have had problems and with the 9.1.1 update almost every thing appears to have been cleared up
How do I do that please, if i decide to do so
To revert is simple - load your backup of the previous version and install the previous version from the the disks

Cannot install iPhoto 4 from iLife 04

Help, I cannot install iPhoto from iLife 04 cd, i always get a message that one of these programs are opened itune, idvd, iphoto...
Iphoto is not installed in my computer.
What should I do?

I had this same problem. There is probaby a iTunes help file or something like that running in the background. I think you can look in system profiler and find what is running and shut it down. Once you do this you should be able to load iPhoto for the iLife disk. I am not at my mac right now. I will check this evening when I get home and see where I found the file running and post a more detailed response.

I have iphoto 7.1.5. How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

i have iphoto 7.1.5. How can I update iphoto without buying ilife, which i don't need?

I'm not sure where you are seeing the "negative reviews" but I like it and many, many people posting here do even though this is a forum for people with problems
No one knows when the next upgrade will be bu tit will require a purchase
I'm sure that there will be a few more updated for iPhoto '11 but probably not many - it has had a lot and is approaching the end of its life cycle I would think
And be sure to have a good backup prior to upgrading (as always) - I suggest in addition to your normal backup routine that you make one more copy of the iPhoto library on your main hard drive if you have space - remember that you need a minimum of 10 GB of free space jus tto run your Mac
And prior to launching iPhoto '11 the first time be sure to run software update and be sure it is up to the latest version

I had to re-install OS X recently and lost iPhoto and other ilife apps. Do I have to buy them now?, I had to re-install OS X recently and lost iPhoto and other ilife apps. Do I have to buy them now?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version

Unable to access iPhoto after installing iLife 06

I installed iLife 06. After doing so, my iPhoto folder cannot be accessed. I get a message saying "There is a problem accessing 1 or more files in iPhoto library folder. In the Finder, select iPhoto library folder. Choose File >Get Info. Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder and then apply this setting to all enclosed items." I have done this, but I still can't get it to open. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

susieslp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That has happened to a number of users for some unknown reason. Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. Good luck.

Unable to update iPhoto and other iLife products

Hi,
I bought a MacBook Air last year, which came with iLife pre- installed.
The iPhoto version is 9.1.1.
But for some reason I can't get auto update for it. I tried to register it, hoping that this may solve the problem, but it requires a MPN number which I don't have.
I also tried to download the updates from Apple online download, they would not install.
Can anyone help resolving this problem? Any suggestions.
Many thanks.
John

Thanks much.
Indeed after I moved back the apps, they are now updating. I guess that's the trouble for being too anal.
One more thing, after iPhoto is updated, it still gives me a message "A photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported", but if I click "Yes", nothing was imported, and there is a Recovered Photo folder, but it was empty.
Any suggestions on the fix?
Thanks again.
John

IPhoto Trouble - Importing - iLife 08

First I apologize in advance if this question has been answered previously, but I recently update to ilife08 and iPhoto wasn't my main source for organizing my pictures. But I think it's great and I "want" to use it but I'm running into a few issues.
For example, recently I thought that the best way to solve one of my problems was to buy an external drive where all my photos would be kept. I have over 10000 photos. My macbook is only 60 gigs. So last night I imported them all into iphoto without making copies of them. This morning I saw that they are all out wack. I expected the import to be seemlessly. I have all my photos organized by "events" (ie birthdays, get to gethers, holidays, family, etc.) so I expected the "events" to be organized this way. Instead I feel like none of my folder names transferred over.
In the past when I uploaded to Iphoto 6, at least the "folder names" were in the library as "rolls" I just want to understand how iPhoto works and how I can use it so that my pictures are organized great. I just feel stuck and that I can't even get into first gear. Can anyone share some light?
Further more... now I want to do it all over again. So how do I erase what I did and start all over. do I have to uninstall iLife and reinstall it? I'm new to the "mac" world so I'm still trying to figure out how the OS X works.
Please help.
Thanks

It's pretty easy to do over again. Just go to the picture folder under your Home and drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop. Next time you launch iPhoto it will create a new library with nothing in it. Then you can re-import the old library from the external hard drive.
My understanding is that the events function works solely off the date created of each photo. It doesn't consider any previous organization that you may have done.
You basically have to go thru and rename each event. It's easy but can be time consuming.

IPhoto Bug - Every time try to change date, date moves back 100 years

You will like this bug. Somehow an incorrect date was entered on the videos in iPhoto. Now, we try to enter a correct date of 2/1/2011 using iPhoto->Photos->Adjust Date Time and the dates just keep going back approximately 100 years. Currently, the date shows June 3, 1221!
We can't set the date on our videos.
I just tried again, and now the date shows May 16th, 1153.
Bummer, huh?

I friend of mine had the same problem and ask me for a solution. I conclude that when you ask to adjust date and time, iPhoto calculates the number of seconds that each picture has to be adjusted with. That number of seconds is stored in an 32bits signed integer variable, which means that the maximum numbers of seconds we can store is 2,147,483,647, which corresponds to 68 years, 35 days, 3 hours, 14 minutes and 7 seconds. If the adjustment you are trying to do is smaller than that, it will work, if it's bigger the result would be uncertain. There is an easy solution to that problem, but is Apple that has to implement it by changing the 32bits variable that stores those seconds to a 64 bits one.

IPhoto Bug - Slideshows start randomly when browsing library

Over the last month I've noticed an irritating bug occurring on a random basis - sometimes every 5 mins, sometimes once or twice a week. I will be browsing the photo library or using the Faces feature, for example, and all of a sudden a Slideshow begins playing. I have no interest in the Slideshow function to be honest and I haven't used it before.
I don't think a keyboard shortcut is triggering this, although it could be a glitch with the wireless keyboard. Alternatively, I wondered if it could be a permissions problem - I tried repairing the permissions in DIsk Utility and that hasn't made a difference.
Also of note, I have a glitch with my iTunes - that also starts up randomly and plays music from time to time. I quit the program, remove it from the dock, close associated programs and still - minutes later - it plays again. I'm not sure how the two could be related, but I'm guessing there could be some corruption with program permissions somewhere.
I'm new to Mac computing (well, 6 months, but still a lot to learn) and would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction to solve these bugs (although mainly the iPhoto one).

Thanks for the tip Terence...I'll give that a try and will report back.
I also have a wireless mouse, so I imagine I will need to try used a standard wired one for a while to test that out too. If neither of these solve my problem, I'll report back.
Cheers,
David

Major iPhoto bug - TIFFs compressed and overwritten

I just sent this bug report to Apple. I want it to be known. It is tested and discussed in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1342564&tstart=0
In version 7.1.1, TIFF files are processed into Canon Raw files when setting the date and time using Photos > Batch Change and possibly also with Photos > Adjust Date & Time. The criterion is that you have "Modify original files" checked.
These Raw files are much smaller than the original TIFFs! During experimenting, 12MB TIFFs were overwritten by 400KB files! 42MB TIFFs by 1 to 2MB files!
This happens regardless whether the photos are copied into the iPhoto Library or not. So if not, the original files are modified and there is NO BACKUP!
Another issue is that the files keep the extension .tif in the Finder. Adobe also maintains that they are TIFFs. iPhoto only unveils them as being Canon Raw images when reimporting! So there is no way of telling until you check. By then it's already done, and quite irreversibly.
This should not be possible. Those working with TIFF files are usually people who want to preserve their uncompressed originals at all times. For me, this bug is really a shock! If this function is here to stay, iPhoto should at least warn the user what happes if "Modify original files" is checked.

With the amount of people on these discussion boards saying that their iPhoto Library has vanished, I presumed the trouble lay in iPhoto.
Not necessarily. Maybe there are 100 reporting the problem. That's insignificant when compaired to the number using iPhoto without a problem. Judging iPhoto by what you read here in the forum where only those with problems post is like judging the health of a city by what you observe in the Emergency Room of one of its hospitals.

IPhoto BUG (aspect change in external editor)

This BUG in iPhoto is very annoying, try it yourself. Im suprised they havent fixed it over the years. How can I report it?
• Take any landscape photo, EDIT in external editor (i use photoshop)
• Crop the photo so its now portrait, & save. (i use a proportionally correct crop, but i think any landscape to portrait crop is the same)
• back in iPhoto you can see the thumbnail of your new portrait photo but you cannot view it large because it forces a 100% zoom into one corner which you cant change.
This bug has been in iPhoto for years now, finally i guess i better report it because it seems no one else has. I cant find a way to do this on the apple website, is there a link?

Exact same problem- and I have the following
Ever since I have upgraded to iPhoto 11 I have discovered the following bug which is a right pain.
I take a photo with my Nikon at 3008 x 2000 pixels. I put this photo into iPhoto. Using command-I I pull up the metadata window. Many times when I double click on the thumbnail the photo opens and immediately zooms to some ridiculous size. A quick check in the Metadata window shows the reolution is no longer 3008 x 2000 but has changed to something like 1400x916. Huh? Duplicating that photo and then deleting the original - everything goes back to normal. Shut the computer down and re-open and guess what? now there's a bunch more photos with the exact same problem. Some people have suggested rebuilding the thumbnails but come on guys - even after doing this random photos fall foul of this bug. If it was just one or two I could perhaps live with it - but I've just had to correct over 200 photos. Tedious or what?
And don't get me started on cropping in an external editor. That's just a nightmare. I've had to resort to cropping my photos first in iPhoto to prevent iPhoto "stetching" externally cropped photos to fit. That seems to work. This is undoubtedly the buggiest version of iPhoto that I'ver ever used. It absolutely needs fixing.
And yes I have used the iPhoto feedback feature to complain to Apple about this.
