Iphoto calendar photo limit

is there a way around the 7 photo limit per month in iphoto when you are making a calendar?

Are you referring to adding photos to the individual day boxes or in the photo page above the calendar? What theme are you using?
I've not run into a limit when adding photos to specific date boxes.
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 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.

Add new photo to existing calendar folder in iPhoto
I am making a calendar in iPhoto, picking photos from a folder, let's call it "2011 Pics," in iPhoto. After arranging all the photos and captions I decided I wanted to insert a new photo -- one that was not in "2011 Pics." So I inserted it into the folder, but the picture does not show up on the scrolling menu of pictures at the left of the calendar-making page. This happened last year and in frustration I started all over again. But surely there is a way to add a new picture to a calendar that is already laid out.

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Is it possible to add the date to a photo in an iPhoto calendar?

After a picture is dragged to a day on my calendar the date disappears, is it possible to add or restore the date? I am using the latest update of iPhoto.

The photo in the calendar replaces the date. You can ctrl-click the photo and add a caption to show the day number.
Clicking the disclosure triangle to the right of the caption will show a panel where you can edit the font (all this tested in iPhoto 9.5.1), but it does look funny, you'd be better off by not adding the day number:

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.

Number of Photos Limit in iPhoto '09

In iPhoto '06, there was a limit of 99 photos per slideshow. Is there a maximum number photos limit in the '09 version? Thanks,

There is no formal limit, but issues like the amount of RAM and disk space you have can come into play.

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?

Transferring projects (calendars, photo books, etc.) between iPhoto libraries

Is it possible to transfer "projects" (calendars, photo books, etc.) from one iPhoto library to another? I know I can transfer events and albums, but don't know about projects.

No it's not.

Calendar photo quality problem

Is there anything that I can do to improve on the low quality print warning that shows up on many of my calendar photos? Is there some adjustment other than selecting fit to frame? Many of these photos were emailed to me from relatives. Most of them are from point and shoot cameras. What is RGB? The photos are in jpeg format. I'm afraid, after many hours of work, that they won't print well. Any suggestions would be appreciatd

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What are some of the pixel dimensions of the photos giving the warning? Apple gives that warning when the resolution falls below 180 dpi. So for a 5x7 frame you would get a warning if you photo was smaller than 1260 x 900. Knowing what the pixel dimensions of the photos are can let you estimate how much under the 180 limit the photo is for the size of the frame in the calendar you put it in. I personally wouldn't worry at 150 dpi as I've printed at that level before and go good results. It's all depends on what your expectations are.
As far a the color profile goes I doubt any of the jpgs would have CMYK. Digital cameras don't use that color mode.

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

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.

IPad and iPhoto for photo collection

Greetings:
I want to use iPhoto on my iPad to download photos from my camera, organize them into events, label the photos and eventually upload the photos into iPhoto on my iMac for further processing and archiving. Is there a 1000 photo limit or has that changed with the new iOS and the updated iPhoto? We want to use the iPad when we go on vacation and expect to take significantly more than a 1000 photos.
Also, can I use iCloud to download photos and then transfer to an iMac and external storage?
I'd like some help with this.
Thanks

There is no syncing between iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS. The only thing they share is a name.
Gaping hole seems an understatement.

Oh, and the latest version of iPhoto is 9.5.1.

Scrolling through photos, restarting iPhoto: "Hidden Photos" are unhidden!

Hi,
As you may know, iPhoto has this great feature where you can mouse over an Event to scroll through the photos in it. iPhoto also has another great feature - the possibility to hide photos!
However, here's when they both went wrong: I had a few Hidden Photos in an event, yet when I moused over it - they showed up! Just makes them not so hidden...
Also, when I last closed iPhoto, Hidden Photos were checked to show. As I opened iPhoto up again - they were still unhidden. It would be nice if they automatically hid themselves upon closing. Is there an Apple Script available for this?
In the same scenario, I hid the photos manually. And as I opened up a photo in an event up full screen, and browsed through the event using the arrow keys - a hidden photo appeared! This, as I understand - is a bug. Where would I report this?
I hope you can help!
Thank you for your time,
Rudi

rudi_e:
First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
Happy Holidays

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 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.

IPhoto to Photos? Too generic of a name

Why did you change iPhoto to Photos, and why such a generic name? When having problems with the app, and I am having lots, especially in regards to iCloud and my data set size (5GB limit between an iMac and 3 iPads/iPhones - good grief!), while searching for help, the term "Photos" is too generic - e.g.: How do I get my photos to "Photos"? The questions used to read "How do I get my Photos to iPhoto". See the difficulty here?

You are not addressing Apple here, just other users like yourself.
Yes, the name "Photos" is not helpful when you are trying to search the Internet for solutions. You can try searching the phrase "Photos for Mac".
If Apple ever goes into the automobile business they will probably name it. " Car ".
Below is the proper format to send your message to Apple. Be nice, it will be read.

Iphoto calendar layout issue

Hello. Does anyone know how to change the front cover layout in iPhoto calendar? It won't let me change from a portrait photo to a full cover image. When I click layout options, the only option I'm given is to change the background colour. Many thanks.

What version of iPhoto are you using and what calendar theme?
