IPhoto Calendar creation, no photos

why doesn't my photo albums import show up in the right side of the window pane when trying to create a calendar in iPhoto?

make an album of the photos you want in the calendar, select them all in the album and create your calendar - if you want additional photos in it later drag them form an event or album to the calender project

  • Iphoto calendar creation won't let me make a calendar more than 12 months long even though I have chosen a 14 page calendar

    In iphoto calendar creation, I have selected a 13 month calendar from December 2012-December 2013, wanting 13 pages.  I have selected all my photos for the year and have started placing them in the Calendar.  I'm at October and noticed that December is missing.  Thought maybe i didn't request a 13 month calendar, but I have.  Seems like the more months I want in the calendar, the end months keep dropping off.  If i want a 14 month calendar starting in November 2012, then November and December 2013 are then gone. so....I changed it over and over trying to get the months back, but to no avail.  I've created a new empty project calendar, requesting 13 months, and all 13 months are there.  Problem is.....how do I get all the pictures from the old calendar over to the new ones without having to reselected 200 pictures again?  Or is there a way to fix the original missing pages?  Thanks.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
    In that case 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 #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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.

  • Allow others to order iPhoto calendar via Apple Photos Services (or other)

    I thought I saw this option somewhere, but I have an iPhoto calendar that I've printed through Apple Photo Services for myself. I now want to make that cal available for others to print without having to be involved in placing the order for them. Is that possible? Ideally, they would not even need a .mac account, but could order as a guest. If Apple does not offer this service, does anyone know of a short-run printer that will take the PDF and make a cal of it? Fed Ex/Kinko's does not have a lot of info on their site for that kind of thing. I will call them shortly.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Terence. I assume the file is stored on the Apple server for 4 weeks (in which time it is removed), so I'm unclear why they can't assign it a unique number and allow me to send that number to my mom who can use it to order the cal. That does not seem impossible to me and could help Apple make more money on prints.

  • In iPhoto Calendar, how to get a photo inserted in a day to repeat annually

    I made an 18 months calendar from an iPhoto album.
    For each family member's birthday, I am adding a picture of them on that day, as shown in the iPhoto Calendar demo.
    Since this one covers 18 months, some months will be present for 2006 and 2007. I would like the pictures I insert on the days that are birthdays to automatically repeat the following year. Much like you click the Repeat option in iCal.
    Right now it appears that the photos you insert in specific days do not have any repeat options. Anyone found a way to do this?
    Thanks very much for any help.
    Bo

    John:
    You should be able to just drag a photo from the photo tray on the left into the box for a date. Just click on the photo icon on the right and you'll get the tray. You'll need, of course, to have a number of photos selected for the calendar.
    Do you Twango?

  • I'm not able to create a iphoto calendar with the correct birthday entries.

    Hello,
    I use the latest Iphoto version and OS X 10.9.
    I tried to create a calendar in iphoto that includes all birthday information of my family. Unfortunately I'm not able to do this.
    I tried two differnt ways to get the information into the calendar.
    First of all I' tried to use the option of the calendar to get the information of my contacts and it partly worked. Some dates were missing and I was not able to modify or add additional birthdays in the calendar. I checked my contacts and the information was there but not shown in the Iphoto Calendar.
    Therefore I have to get the information into the calendar in a different way. For that I created a new calendar in ICal and created for each Birthday entries.
    I select the option in the Iphoto calendar to show the new calendar in iPhoto. But the result was worse than with the first solution. Only few entries was shown in the calender.
    Do anybody have an idea how can I solve this issue.
    Thank you in advanced,
    Philipp

    First of all I' tried to use the option of the calendar to get the information of my contacts and it partly worked. Some dates were missing and I was not able to modify or add additional birthdays in the calendar. I checked my contacts and the information was there but not shown in the Iphoto Calendar.
    Do the birthdays (from Contacts) show correctly in the Calendar app? Sometimes there is a formatting problem with the date string in the Contacts. If the Birthdays do not show correctly in the Calendar.app, try to delete them from Contacs and enter them again, and check, if they now are showing correctly in Calendar. Quit both Contacts and Calendar.
    Then restart iPhoto, and in the "Settings" for your Photo Calendar disable the Birthdays option, and then turn it on again.
    Any changes you do to the birthdays in Contacts may only appear in iPhoto Calendars after Calendar or Contacts wrote their databases, and iPhoto will read these databases, when you enable the "Birthdays" option. Toggling this option on and off will ensure, that the new Contacs info will be read.

  • Using iphoto and editing multiple photos in photoshop

    I set iphoto to edit my photos in photoshop. I tried to edit a group of photos at once, and it'll only open the first 4 pictures. Is there a reason I can't open more than the first 4 photos that I have selected? Is there a setting in photoshop I need to change that is preventing me from opening more photos?
    Thanks!

    As Larry said that's a "limitation" of iPhoto. Report that to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. I think you can go back to iPhoto and select another 4 photos and open them in PS with the original 4 still open.
    For what it's worth:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new 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. 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Making a calendar with my photos?

    Is there a way to make and order a Photo Book or Calendar from within Aperture or do I have to send my images over to iPhoto and do it there?
    thanks!

    You can not make Calendars using templates in Aperture. If you use Aperture, and have iPhoto, it should be easy to use Aperture images in iPhoto to make an iPhoto calendar.

  • Iphoto calendar

    I would like to insert some photos in portrait format into my iphoto calendar, but I am only given templates(under layout)  for landscape orientation.Is this possible?

    The Picture Calendar theme has layouts for most pages, 1-X photos that include layouts for portrait photos.  This is from the cover page:
    This is for a 3 photo page:
    You just need to find the layout that has the portrait in it.  If you want a 1 photo per page and there's not a portrait layout just Command (right) - click on the image and select Fit Photo to Frame option to get this:

  • Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow. Thumbnails all OK etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    Iphoto won't display photos or run a slideshow - just a black screen. Can't see photos to edit etc. Thumbnails all OK and all else seems visible in the usual way etc. Tried rebuilding library and reset Mac Air but no result.  Ideas please!!!!

    and was told to go home and rebuild the photo library (there are 2257 photos). Did this but problem is still there.
    When you rebuild the library did you rebuild the database?  Also did you repair the library's permissions? Is this the First Aid window that you got?
    Those are the two options to use.
    Here's another fix you can try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: 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.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    You'll have to recreate your slideshow after using this method.

  • HT1229 Can I reinstall iPhoto without losing my photos?

    With Yosemite ,when I opened iPhoto it says it has to be upgraded,then when I do that it says it has to Rebuild the Thumbnail caches I let it go all day but nothing happens . I've tried hitting the command + option key when starting iPhoto same problem. So I want to know if I can reinstall iPhoto without losing my photos?

    So I want to know if I can reinstall iPhoto without losing my photos?
    You photos are in the iphoto Library and not in the iPhoto application, so reinstalling iPhoto will not delete your photos.  But the problem seems to be with your iPhoto Library and not with iPhoto.
    I've tried hitting the command + option key when starting iPhoto same problem.
    How dis you try that? To run the First Aid tools you need to keep holding down the keys when launching iPhoto until you are seeing the First Aid panel. Did you do it this way?
    If you tried the First Aid Tools without success, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Trence Devlin:
    uprgraded to yosemite all good but iphoto crashes every time I attempt to upgrade the photo library
    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.

  • IPhoto crashes when opening photo

    Actually, the photo does not even exist! I am trying to back up my library on an external hard disk, and every time it gets to a particular photo, it stops the operation because it cannot read or write it (which is stupid, it should just note it and go on, or at least ask me if it wants to ignore it and continue). This photo is not to be found in Spotlight, in the photo library, etc. But, when I get to where it would be in iPhoto (lots of my photos are unnamed and in alphabetical order), iPhoto immediately crashes. So I cannot even get to it in iPhoto to delete it (if it were even there, I can't see it). The main thing I want to do is back up my photos. Any ideas? Thanks.

    If the photo is gone but iPhoto thinks it is still there then the library is corrupted.
    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.

  • Is it possible to overwrite an entire iPhoto library with one photo?

    I was doing a routine download of a photo from my e-mail to my iPhoto library and pressed the "save to iPhoto".
    I then went into iPhoto (I have version 08) and all of my event folders appeared...then suddenly gray boxes started appearing and everything disappeared.
    When I went in to open iPhoto again I received a message to the effect of cannot find. We have created a new iPhoto but cannot find any of the photos in our library anywhere in searching our hard drive. Have tried all the search functions (including putting in jpg names of actual photos) and nothing is turning up. When I go into the data files - the photos are not in there. Is it possible to have somehow wiped out our entire collection of about 3000 photos? Unfortunately we did not have a back-up hard drive.....
    I tried following some of the advice posted for iPhoto losses and gray boxes appearing...however none of them work.
    Am finding it hard to believe that could have wiped out our entire collection by saving one photo? Was using iPhoto and saving a photo from the e-mail in the way I have been doing for months.
    Any advice tips would be greatly appreciated?!
    In disbelief over the possibility of entirely wiping out our collection!

    dmck;
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    We have created a new iPhoto
    Do you mean you create a new iPhoto Library? How did you go about doing so? There is a possibility that you could have created a new library and overwritten the old one, thus the one library with only one photo in it. It's iffy but might have been accomplished.
    Happy New Year
