IPhoto calendar and book font issue

On or near Nov. 30th, 2009, I launched iPhoto 8.1 to produce a calendar. The upgrade option came up and I proceeded to do the installation.
I attempted to upgrade to iPhoto 8.1.1 on a new 2.66 GHz Quad Mac Pro running OS 10.6.2. Install did not work the first time.
I then launched iPhoto to produce a new calendar. Prior attempts have not had any font issue.
When selecting my favourite font, Kon Tiki, a different font appears. When selecting that new font, yet another font appears. This continues indefinitely.
This issue also occurs when creating new books. Existing books and calendars in my Keepsakes retain their original font but I do not want to test if they change until this is resolved.
I tried reinstalling original application from Time Machine but error continues. I then tried a second successful time to install the upgrade to iPhoto 8.1.1
I have since tested this on my 3.06 GHz iMac running OS 10.6.2. This system had already been upgraded to iPhoto 8.1.1 but no calendars or books had been produced since the upgrade.
The same issues occur.
2.0 GHz MacBook running iPhoto 8.1 does not have this issue.

I ran Font Book and Validated all fonts. Cleaned up quite a bit but did not resolve the issue. Fonts are no longer as randomly selected (Kozuka Gothic Pro now selects Kon Tiki Kona consistently) but does show the secondary font choice of the font above it. Current version on Mac Pro seems to corrupt the iPhoto Library. Accessing those iPhoto Libraries from different computer (2.0 GHz iMac running iPhoto 8.1 resolves the issue and reinstates selected fonts).
Second issue now occurring where previously created Calendars are becoming Books on Mac Pro system. I have tried removing all iPhoto files and reinstalling from iLife '09 disc then upgrading to 8.1 but error still occurs.
How do you remove all iPhoto files and where are they. I can either reinstall them from iLife '09 disc (again) or copy them from MacBook system where they appear to be working.
I'm not completely able to locate all iPhoto files it seems.

Controlling Photo Quality in iPhoto Calendars and Books..

As is the case with many of the processes in iPhoto, I am unclear as to what is taking place when I place and order with Apple for a Photo Book or Calendar. I use an 8 MP Olympus DSLR and shoot at max resolution so my average image is 3200x2400 and # MB+. And yet when I place an order for a calendar containing 12 full page images shot at that resolution the down upload time is nowhere near as long as you would expect for a file that size. I have also noticed that the images in the calendar appear to be of lower quality than when printed out on an ink jet printer. Does iPhoto export the photos at full resolution, or is there something taking place here behind the scenes to speed up upload times?
Thanks,
Win

Terence,
Is there a loss of quality when the photos are converted to pdf files? If so, is there any way around this? I am trying to maintain as high a quality as possible.
Thanks,

I created an iPhoto Calendar and an iPhoto book. Now I'd like to order them together (one order, one postage). How can I do that?

Of course - that is exactlhy why i told you that you can not because it is not a feature of iPhoto
You can not order different products in a single order. Period. exactly!

Calendars and books created

I used an earlier version of iPhoto to create calendars and books... How can I resurrect them? Where did they go?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you now using? What versions did you have previously?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
are the calendars in the left hand pane?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Unify aperture and iphoto libraries: the book (tricky) issue

I had been in the process of migrating from iPhoto to Aperture for a while now.
I imported iPhoto library in Aperture few monthes ago and am now using only Aperture.
Everything is fine for two things:
- I could not import the books (format is not compatible), so i had to keep the iPhoto library
- I didn't want to duplicate the orignals , so they are still in iPhoto library
With Aperture 3.3, the library could be unified with iPhoto
I would like to move all originals to Aperture library and still be able to open from iPhoto (so far, easy) but also keep the iPhoto books (which as far as i know are still incompatible with aperture books formats)
In other words, i want one aperture library, including masters, and I want to be able to open it from iPhoto, and still keep the old books (that were built from the initial iPhoto library) in iPhoto
Any clue ?

Hi Leonie,
You're really full of resources (not sure if this french expression translates well in english, but you get the idea) !
I finally found a way, not the most elegant one, but it's working:
0. Open each book in iPhoto. Delete in the book non-used photos of the book (in project list, choose book, then choose photos in the toolbar in the bottom, display non placed photos, delete). Now books projects only contain photos actually used in the book. (this step may not be necessary, but it speeds the process)
0. bis: Backup your Aperture library. don't forget to stop also any automatic backup process (like time machine)
1. Open the iPhoto library with Aperture (remember i had already migrated to Aperture 3,3 & iPhoto 9, which makes the libraries compatibles)
2. Export each of your books as a phototheque (right click on the book in the inspector navigator/ choose export impression project as a phototheque). Give specific name, for example "project x"
3. Open first created book phototheque in aperture
4. Tag photos of the phototheque with a specific keyword, for example "book x"
5. Close phototheque for "book x" and resume on step 3 for other phototheques
6. Open default aperture Library
7. Import first phototheque, merge with Aperture Library
8. Normally you get duplicates, especially if you have added metadata or edited the photos in aperture since you created the books in iPhoto. At least that's what happened to me
9. You can now grab the recent metadata on the one that was already in Aperture and apply it to the imported one. To do that, create a smart album with the keyword "project x"; then move all new imported events from iPhoto to the event where they belong in aperture. Then in the smart album, for a specific picture when you choose "display in the project" (i have defined a shortcut) you are in the event where the duplicate photo also sits. Choose cmd shift C on the photo with metadata, cmd shift V on the photo with the tag "project x" to transfer the metadata. You can delete the first one, except if you had edited the original differently in the book and in aperture and want to keep both. You still have to re-enter the faces on the imported one
10. You can erase the tag "project x"
11. Go back to step 7 for other books
12. Check you can see your books in iphoto when opening aperture library with iphoto. You can now consolidate the aperture library and migrate all referenced iPhoto pics inside the aperture library
13. you can erase iPhoto Library and other books phototheques created in step 2
You now have one unified library, that you can use in aperture and iPhoto, with your old iPhoto books in it.
(you also have lost a few hours...)

Creation of Calendars and Books not possible

i cannot create calendars or books with iphoto '08. cards do work. there are no themes or pictures shown in the window. what shall i do?
software is updated.

Hi Thorsten,
To creat a new DC in shared repository do the following:
1. Create a DC in the local repository
2. Go to manage models, click on the newly created DC and you would see the icon with blue + (tooltip: Add to the source control)
3. Your local DC is now your shared DC
Good Luck,
Dharmi

Calendar and Book not working

Please help. After selecting some pics (or an album or event), I click on Book and get the "Choose type" window, but none of the listed choices are available. Clicking on Calendar doesn't do anything at all, while clicking on Card works just fine. What's wrong?
I have all the latest versions installed. Removing com.apple.iphoto.plist in Prefs won't help. I have checked the Themes folder in Application Support and there are 298 theme files there. I've done a fresh re-install of iPhoto as I was having printing problems but that is OK now. Any ideas / suggestions would be much appreciated, as I'd love to have the hardcopy pics available ASAP.

rembaz:
The themes for the books and calendars have been deleted some how. Go to the HD/Library/Application/iPhoto and check the Themes folder. If it's empty move it to the desktop, delete the iPhoto application and any file with iPhoto in it that resides in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Then reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on. Run the latest update, 7.1 and repair permissions. That will bring back your book and calendar capability. I just finished doing the same thing.
Remember to remove the Themes folder first even if empty.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

Ipod Calendar and Contact Sync Issues?!!!

Quick note:
Itunes 7.6.1
Ipod 1.1 (latest)
OS X 10.5.2
Hi guys,
I have a 3rd generation ipod nano (4GB). It has been working fine since January but it has had trouble in the last month. I noticed about two weeks ago that my ipod nano had no contacts and no calendar events on it. I went into itunes and it was set to sync all contacts and calendars. It just wouldn't sync them. The ipod had over 2GB available free space. Software is all updated.
Unclicking and reclicking the settings didn't work, so I did unset and unplugged, etc etc. Nothing worked.
So I reformatted the ipod completely. That fixed the problem for awhile but not a week later it's started up again. when I go to my ipod it says it can only sync 21 of my contacts because:
"Only limited portion of your contacts could be loaded due to the amount of content on this ipod."
The ipod has 2.5GB available this time! None of the calendars are synced at all. It syncs my music no problem..
So what the heck is going on and what can I do?! I'm out of ideas.

This is a known issue with the current iPod nano firmware. Nothing is going to 'solve' it but an update from Apple. However, it's not nearly as serious as it seems. After you sync your Calendars and Contact (and Notes, they are affected by this issue, too), they often will not appear, but a simple reset will always 'refresh the iPod's memory'. (And you do that by turning the hold switch on and then off, and then holding down the centre button and menu button simultaneously for about 10 seconds until the iPod reboots.)
This is not actually an issue with Contacts or Calendars failing to sync. It's an issue with the iPod failing to recognise that they've been synced. A simple reset always solves it in my case and many others.

IPod Touch w/ iPhone 2.0 Software - Calendar, Address Book synch issue

I am using my new iPod Touch at work with the exchange server. However, I find it annoying that I cannot have my other calendars from home on my ipod touch along with my address books. Can a more inspired Apple type person inform us that this will be changed?

Ditto. Will there be an update to the Calendar and contacts solution to allow multiple calendars, either an exchange server calendar or personal calendar as well as categories of contact lists?

5800 XM - HS Calendar and Profile shortcut issue

Hi,
I am facing an issue with the Calendar and Profile shortcut in the Homescreen of my Nokia 5800 XM. That shortcut suddenly stopped working and I am not able to select Profile from Homescreen. When I tap at the top centre (where the Calendar and profile shortcut usually found), I am able to feel the touch vibrate. But I am not able to see any dropdown showing different profiles. Please help me to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Balaji
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, understood ..
Lets move on to another method, Press & Hold These Button "Camera Key + Green Key + Red Key" simulatenously and turn ON the phone. So all will be 4 buttons involved. Press and hold these buttons until you got the country selection screen, this method needs very flexible hands.
But remember, this method will wipe the phone memory entirely including contacts and reverts all system files as it leaves the factory. I recommend you to take out the memory card before performing this activity

Why is there no answers to the calendar and contact sync issues

I have searched and can find questions everywhere but no resolutions. Since upgrading to 5.1 and Itunes 10 I can nolonger sync contacts and calendars. Any Ideas?

Look at your contacts on the phone.
Tap the Groups button in the upper left corner.
You will see all of the sources for the contacts on your phone. "From My PC" is the one that syncs with Outlook via iTunes.
Are the contacts you created on the phone in that group? If not, they won't sync with the PC. They'll sync with whatever service they're listed under. (iCloud, for example)
Same goes for calendars and Notes.

Iphoto 08 and book slideshow

I have ordered a book and it arrived and looks good but I can no longer view the book in iPhoto; some pages have only half text, others have only one of three pictures. I have tried trashed the prefs but to no avail. Any ideas?

Yes - the solution is to find the page with the missing photo - usually it is a full page photo background page (the gray palm tree background - oftenhidden behind a full page photo - Click here for my discussion on finding the problem

Calendar and Outlook sync issues and inconsistencies

Hello,
These issues have existed since my first iPhone (3GS) and Outlook 2007, and they continue today with my 5S and Outlook 2010:
1. When I add an appointment on my iPhone calendar, after I sync with my PC the appointment in my Outlook calendar has a 99 day alarm and is marked as private. I do not set either of these attributes when creating the appointment on my iPhone calendar.
2. Some all-day appointments that I create in Outlook show as 12am to 12am across two days on my iPhone calendar.
3. Some all-day appointments that I create in Outlook show as No Time on the iPhone, others show as the entire day.
4. After syncing through iTunes, some iPhone calendar items that have specific times get moved to the no time area in Outlook.
5. Notes for calendar appointments lose their formatting when I edit and update the note on my iPhone.
Looking for resolutions to the above annoyances.
Thank you,
Jeff

There was a setting I hadn't found in the PC Companion software:
On the start sync page there is a settings heading next to a spanner on the righthand side - this takes you to sync settings
Select Personal Data Selection and then the properties button for Calendar
You can then set the sync to select all your appointments or a subset.
I hope that this helps someone - it has taken hours to find this setting!

IPhoto 6 and Spotlight Integration Issues

I have just upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 and upgraded from iLife 05 to 06. I was playing around with Spotlight and clicked on an image it found that is located in iPhoto. iPhoto opened but instead of going to the photo it displays the first photo in the library, almost like it can't find anything that Spotlight passes and defaults to the first photo.
I've had iPhoto since version 4 and have about 3800 photos. I've tried a few other photos in Spotlight and occasionally it finds a photo but if a search for the next photo it will display the previous photo.
I've initiated Spotlight index rebuilds. Spotlight finds the images in iPhoto 6 fine but iPhoto can't seem to find the photos. Maybe the data Spotlight is sending to iPhoto is wrong or something is amiss in iPhoto.
I've posted a similar question in the Spotlight forum but the advise has not worked. I'm hoping the iPhoto experts in this forum may have some insight.
Thanks for any help

Sorry to hear that. I updated my blog and added a complete version of Info.plist that you can download.
Try again, if you like.
