Iphoto Duplicated some pics and showing low res version
Iphoto has Duplicates some of my pictures one in a high quality which is the normal version and one is a low quality. The problem is that my iphoto library is only showing the low res version and i have to get extended info for those pictures then search for them on my mac. Then when i go to import the high res version it tells me /Users/mjo2287/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2008/Aug 9, 2008_2/Image 1058.jpg
each photo has the same name please help thanks

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
can you tell us any more? It sounds like you imported an old iPhoto library into a new iPhoto library - you should never import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library
If this is the case do you still have the old library available?
If you do then quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library form the pictures folder to the desktop and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder and launch iPhoto - you will now have an intact library with no duplicates

Swapping out source video - working with low res versions
I have high-def sony m2t footage to edit.
I create a prpro project with edits, and I want to send to a collegue to tweak it. No problem.
However, I don't want to send them 30 gigs of source video, but 300mb of low res mp4 versions of the source video, so he can edit and work on timing and effects.
My challenge is that I when he returns the file, I must replace the footage and re-create all of the in/out markers on each clip, as well as the effects.
Is there a way to bulk replace footage in a project WHILE KEEPING the in/out cut, and the effects on each of the video bits? Or, keep the in/out and lose the effects - both are great solutions.
If I could get the same filename for the source video on my machine and the low-res version on his machine, it would be easy. The challenge is that my source video is *.m2t and the low-res versions are mp4, or flv, or mov.
Any ideas, workarounds, best practices for this?
Thanks!

cs5.5, win 7, i7-920, 12g ram, gt250 video, sony hc-1 cameraCouple thoughts:
Use AME to transcode your original M2T clips to more highly-compressed M2T clips. Drop the originals into the AME Queue, and change the Format to MPEG2 (not MPEG2-DVD). Start with the "1440 x 1080i 29.97 High Quality" preset (this may actually be automatically selected), and then go to the Multiplexer tab and change the Multiplexing option to "TS." Tweak the video encoding parameters (primarily bit rate) as necessary, and save the new versions out somewhere. This seemed to work in my single clip test, though the more highly-compressed file settings may need some experimentation to get smooth playback.
If you already have MP4s, try changing the extension to M2T. Yeah, it might actually work. You can do this really quickly on the Windows command line (don't know how on Mac) by running a simple command:ren *.mp4 *.m2t
In both cases, since the extension is the same, relinking should be fairly automatic.

i got the iphone 5, got some pics and msgs and contacts on it, and when i connected to my PC to restore my previous info from the old iphone, all the new stuff are gone, how can i get it back, thanks for help.
The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?
Peter
Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
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.

My home was recently burgularized and my Intel MacBook Pro was stolen I had a backup but my other computer is a G5 PowerPC running 10.5.8 and I am getting the following error:
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Obviously I cannot install a newer version of iPhoto on my G5 so what recourse do I have to get my images back?
HelpYou have two options:
Run the Library on a machine that has the same version as the machine that was stolen.
or
Recover the files from this library and start over from scratch.
To recover the files:
Go to your Pictures Folder (or whereever you have the back up) and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Your originals are in the Masters folder.
Note this will only recover your photos as imported from you camera.

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...
iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2 -
I keep getting this message. What do I do? You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.

Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto." I wouldn't have a clue as to how to change to a new version of iphoto even if I wanted to.
If you don't have a backup you can resort to give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
This is the message I'm getting when I try to open iphoto. This happened after a member of the genius bar fixed the problem with the download of the update of the Mac OSX combined.Well, I'll guess it's iPhoto 11 then.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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 saves edited photos to a low res image
Whenever I edit a image and save it, Iphoto displays a low res photo. How can I have Iphoto display a high res edited photo?
What type of editing did you perform on the file? And is the file a jpg or RAW? If it's a 5 MB RAW file then iPhoto creates a jpg modified version of it for display and further editing. Maybe that's why you're seeing the lower file size.
I have a couple of 7 MB RAW files that, when imported, created a 2.5 MB jpg right off the bat. It's the nature of the beast.
I just ran some editing tests on a jpg and I'm finding that a simple exposure change to a 2.7 MB file results in a 2.5 modified version. I'm also seeing an increase in file size, from 4.0 to 4.1, when applying several edits at one time, like increase exposure, adjust highlights and shadows and tweak the histogram. This surprised me as generally there's no way you can edit a jpg file and not encounter some additional jpeg compression. However, with iPhoto's nondestructive editing you only encounter a one time compression no matter now many times you edit the photo.
Unless you're producing mural size prints it will be difficult to see any degradation in the image.
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.

ITunes syncing lower-res versions of photos from Aperture library VS iphoto?
Today I changed my iPad's photo syncing prefs so that it would sync photos from my Aperture library as opposed to iPhoto. To my dismay I've discovered that it appears to be syncing REALLY low-resolution versions of the images compared to what it was syncing in iPhoto. Most of my shots are 21MP, and I understand that when they are synced to an iOS device, they're resized/compressed, but when I was syncing from iPhoto, I was typically able to zoom in to 2x zoom and things would still look good, whereas now that I'm syncing with Aperture, the exact same images appear to have been synced at a lower resolution than the iPad's screen!
This is NOT an issue with offline images or missing masters either.
What gives? This seems to be incredibly backwards as I imagine the majority of Aperture users would want larger versions synced, and iPhoto users wouldn't care as much. How do I resolve this? Can I?Aha. Well I guess that solves it -- I do have my preview settings super low-res.
That's a really strange/questionable design decision. This means I'm actually better off using iPhoto or manually syncing with folders (I have good reasons for using low-res previews).
Thanks! -
Nothing happens sending some pics and videos iMessage
I communicate with a few people using iMessage with iPhone 4. Since IOS 7.0.3, some pictures and some videos will simply not send and nothing shows up in the history. No indication of an error. It doesn't show up in the message list and doesn't send. I can try over and over and over and it never shows up in the message list. By necessity due to a failed upgrade to 7.0.4, I just ended up having to restore from a backup. The problem remains after the restore and after installing 7.0.4.
Data/settings on your phone and in the backup may be corrupted. Try:
1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Restore the iOS using iTunes as a new phone, without restoring the backup.

Everytime I either try ti import pictures from photo booth to ihpto or iphoto to facebook, iphoto freezes up and shows me a message that says this: " Three photos have been found in the i photo library that were not imported." I have the choice to either import them or not. I have tried clicking yes and no. Either way, I photo freezes up, and the rainbow cirlse comes and does not load anything for hours! I just got my mac book pro. I should have no problems like this. WHat do i do to fix it or get rid of these photos?
I am having the same issue, was this ever resolved?

lost IPhoto, thankfully photos are in pictures. How can I restore?
Why are you going back...? Once the photo library has been modified by a never version of iPhoto. You can not go back to the older version without losing the work done in the newer version.
1. Upgrade to the newer version of iPhoto.
2. Launch the older version of iPhoto, Import from backup and rebuild the library.

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. I did not back up my IPhone4 - stupid on my part. It just quit the other day. It is in a coma. I have tried recharging and rebooting to no avail. My greatest concern are several pictures that I cannot replace. Is their an internal sim card that perhaps could be recovered. I need to return the phone to Verizon as they mailed me a replacement due to the fact that no one at the local Verizon store could awaken the phone. Please help if you have ANY suggestions! Of course, i will backup everything in the future - just hoping for a chance with these pics and contacts.
