IPhoto DVD

Recently installed iPhoto 08. I only have about 60% of the original folders showing up and I can't locate the remainders.
Secondly, I tried to backup what was left to DVD and it won't permit me to drag and drop icons from iPhoto to DVD. A white circle with a diagonal slash through it appears.

It sounds like your database has been corrupted. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • IPhoto not showing a iPhoto DVD

    I just made a iPhoto DVD which mounts OK, but is not seen in the "Shared" list.  I have an external CD/DVD R/W since the internal is not working.  When I tried to eject the DVD the message said it was "in Use by iPhoto."  When I tried this DVD in my iMac 20" it showed but indicated "no items" however, if I examine it in the Finder, all the content is present. 
    Somewhat dissapointed since I have just converted 1215 photos from film to digital and used iPhoto to develop into events over 10 years.  This really looks great on my iMac, but want to share with children, one has a MacBook Pro and the other a Windows PC.  This latter DVD worked as it should for the Windows PC as single photo file of 1215 photos.

    More information: from the Help file for iPhoto:
    View photo libraries on a CD or DVD
    If you’ve burned an entire iPhoto library to a CD or DVD (using the iPhoto burn function), you can view the library in iPhoto without importing all the photos. You can’t make changes to a photo library you’re viewing on a disc, but you can import (copy) photos and albums from it into the current iPhoto library.
    Hide
    To view a photo library on a CD or DVD:
    Insert the CD or DVD into your computer’s disc drive.An icon for the disc appears in the Source list.
    Click the disc’s icon in the Source list to show the photo library or libraries it contains.
    The DVD never shows in the Source List!
    The solution to this problem is to copy the iPhoto Library file to the User> Pictures folder and restart iPhoto with the Option key pressed, then select this iPhoto Library and click Open.
    Again, it is a disapointment that nobody has replied to my first post above.  At least correct the Help file or tell me where I have gone wrong?

  • How do I burn a iPhoto DVD, so that it will play in a DVD player?

    I burned a dvd of photos. The burn seemed to go fine got message that burn was successful. Put dvd in dvd player got message that player could not play dvd. What am i doing wrong? Is it type of dvd I used or something else? I've never burned a dvd before. Also how would i go about burning a slide show? Thanks in advance for any help (used a philips dvd+r disc 4.7 gb data 120 min video 1-16x speed)
    frank

    frank
    You can make a slideshow in iPhoto and use the Share -> Send to iDVD command. You can also make a slideshow in iDVD. The help on both apps is pretty good, have to checked it out at all?

  • Non-accessible iPhoto DVD

    As a backup measure, I burned a DVD from the iPhoto Library on my aging MacBook. Yet, none of my drives allow me to open the file (group of files?) on my Mac mini. The message states that the file is locked and to return when it isn't any more, or to chose another library. This is where I'm stuck: I'd like to access the images on the DVD and transfer them selectively in order to make a book of my late and lamentably departed cats. I'd appreciate any help or pointer.

    You need to drag it from the DVD to a hard drive. A backup iPhoto library on DVD is exactly that: a backup. Until copied from the backup drive, it can't be opened in iPhoto or changed.

  • IPhoto DVD locked

    I have an iPhoto library on DVD which I want to open to view photos. I have clicked on DVD icon on Desktop, clicked on the iPhoto Library icon in it and have received message that it is locked. I have created a new library which was suggested in one message that appeared while trying to open the DVD. However, when I selected the library, a message appeared again that the DVD was locked.
    What are the procedures that are needed to open the iPhoto Library on the DVD in order to view the photos?
    Thanks for your help.
    Vernon

    If you created the DVD the way described then it would not show up in iPhoto. p
    Try the following:
    1 - drag the library again from the DVD to the Desktop.
    2 - download and run BatChmod on the library with the settings in this screenshot:
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto with the option key depressed, select the library on the Desktop and open it.
    If iPhoto converts the library and you still get blank windows when double clicking on thumbnails backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto DVD Backup

    Hi, anyone out there that can help me with backing up iPhoto version 5.0.4 to DVD, I don't want to back up on any iPhoto format, I just want to back it up to a DVD as regular jpg's, meaning just the pictures no links to iPhoto. This way I can open them up on any computer PC or MAc and anywhere. Any ideas, suggestions are truly appreciate, I have about 2200 pictures already stored.
    Thanks,
    Rogelio

    Rogelio:
    Yes, it's relatively easy. See this Apple KB document: iPhoto: How to Burn a CD With Pictures for a Windows-Compatible Computer.

  • IPhoto DVD Burn, How much extra space is needed?

    I did a few tests, and each time, I found the same result.
    If I filled a disc (DVD or CD) to nearly capacity, iPhoto couldn't burn the disc, saying that there was an error. When I burn a 4.7 gig DVD to 4.0 gigs, the disc burns successfully. How much 'extra' space do I need to leave for iPhoto to burn correctly?
    TIA

    Benson:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you're running into it the disparity between what iPhoto reports as the size of the select photos and what it needs to burn an iPhoto disk. As you know there's a big difference. Check the iPhoto Library folder size in the Finder and compare that to what iPhoto indicates when you click on the main library icon. The difference will be all the thumbnails, original files, modified files, data and database files. My test library is 74 via iPhoto and 98MB via the finder. That's a lot of overhead.
    I guess I would keep the iPhoto reported size to about 4.2G max. when burning to a DVD disk. Of course it would vary depending on the number of edited photos are in the batch you selected.

  • How do I Import an iPhoto DVD "Verbatim" and not as iPhoto wants?

    I have a DVD of a set of iPhoto folders, that a professional photographer friend of mine that insists on using iPhoto, that will not import as it burnt to the DVD. Why?
    You mount the DVD and it's perfect in iPhoto, but when you got to bring it in in any of the many ways you can, it just doesn't work as expected. I need the DVD to import as it was her version of 6.0.4, in mine.
    Even when I create a folder and drag and drop it adds the photos from a previous drop to the folder. And when I look in the main library there are several copies/versions of the pictures.
    I would like folder for folder import. That is not happening. I'm using iPhoto 6.0.4 on a PPC FW800.
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    G4 FW800, 2GB RAM, 2-DVR110s, 4-500GB HDs, 3-Monitors, 2-Turtle Doves, 1-iTTUSB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Totally Stuffed/Max'd Out with lots of great toys.

    Thanks for the reply. The short version is just fine. Usually it's shorter.
    The disc was burned as iPhoto 6.0.4 does and only will do. We got the cute little disc that shows you in red or green and numbers how much room you need and if it will burn and hit the button and off it went. When mounted, it shows up in the Source Panel perfectly as it should be. Dragging the folders out of the disc to the column just moves the position of the folder and no importing happens. When ejected the "moved" folder disappears. If I make a new folder and "drag and drop" the first import works, then the second on, the all the pics from the first drop are included also, even though I did not touch that folder.
    If I do a straight import from the pull down menu, I get several versions of the photo and it mixes them all in with what I already have in the library and have to dig for the real picture and not the thumbnail or something else. I tried a smart folder and boy are they lacking in options for that. Like, "imported" when "today". That would have let me find what I just brought in to delete it when the importing went awry.
    The only reason that iPhoto is involved it that it was originally used to download and catalog these photos. I'm building a website and have no real need for iPhoto other than getting my hands on these pics.
    I did finally go into the disc raw, and looked through the folders on the disc itself, what a mess, I took the main folder and copied it over and then placed the "modified" files over the "originals", replacing them. It was a tad tedious, but got the job done. I spent hours, wasted, trying to make iPhoto work as the instructions, tutorials, forums, fixit forums all recommend and nothing positive came from it. I even tried making eMails attachments and there were too many photos that it stalled Entourage, of which 10.4.9 is suppose to have some interaction fixes for, so there's problems there.
    I mentioned to my photographer friend that she might try Aperture. She has it, has, and says that it's more hype than help. And this woman knows her "stuff". And that if it weren't for the fact that the cataloging software that came with her cameras was PC and not Mac, she'd be using that and not iPhoto. I recommended a new Intel Mac and she says it'll be a PC next. She has work to do. Ouch.
    I have always used iPhoto just because it was there and easy. But after last night and really having to dig through it, I found all kinds of nastiness. I thought for a moment, although, I have the database backed up, that I had lost at ton of pictures to low res thumbnails that seem to be all over the place. But no originals. Then after checking several copies/thumbnails, I found the originals.
    Well I have the pics and am half done, and finally gave up for the moment, going to bed at 9:14am.
    Now I have to extract photos from a Flash piece that is being replaced with a simple html page. iPhoto ain't gettin' near this one.
    Thanks . . .

  • Using Aperture to import from an iPhoto picture disk?

    I saved a large collection of photos from another Mac on iPhoto DVDs that I would like to install a new Mac, but not in the iPhoto library, since I will be using Aperture. How may I most effectively get the photos from the iPhoto disk onto my new Mac in the organization I had on the other Mac? The iPhoto library folders of originals isn't organized the same way it's presented in iPhoto, but I really don't want to have to import into iPhoto, then export onto HD folders and then import into Aperture. Yet, I also don't want simply to copy 5,000 original photo files onto this computer and have to reorganize 7 years of photos by hand again.
    Can Aperture import directly from this DVD? I didn't see how ...
    Thanks!

    Sorry - but no, iTunes hasn't the capability to import/record from line in.
    For that you have to use an application like "CD Spin Doctor" (that's included in Toast) or another similar application.

  • Merging iphoto libraries (& itunes, imovie) backups

    My relative had her 4 macs taken to an apple dealer and asked them to take all the 'stuff' (photos, movies were the reason) and merge them onto the largest sized mac (macpro). I believe they ended up the MacPro now has 4 internal hard drives (I don't think any are partitioned, I'll find out if need to). The main HD is 1TB and half this space is used. Then the other 3 internal hard drives have 250GB(?) and (what I think are) 'copies' of the other 3 mac computers "stuff". She got a 1TB external hard drive to backup with time machine the mac pro (not using yet). She did this because she has a ginourmous iphoto library and wanted them all merged, then backed up with ability to remove all/or some photos from library. She has burned several iphoto DVDs (not using export) as a hard copy of photo files (not completely done yet).
    The "copies" of the 3 internal hard drives show these folders: Applications, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, ..., Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, etc.  How can I merge the Pictures, Movies and Music "stuff" (or libraries/data) from the 3 onto the 1 (1TB) hard drive. After I learn how to do this, can I simply delete all these folders "copied" on the 3 hard drives??
    The plan is to merge the 3 iphoto libraries (or data?) to the main internal 1TB macpro HD's iphoto library, then delete the backup iphoto libraries from each "backed up" internal hard drive. Then to finish backing up all photos to DVDs, then get Time Machine backing up to the external 1TB.  Plus there is carbon clone application (?) that they added to her mac, will I need to make a clone of the final version when it's all done? I'm guessing this is what they used to make the "copies" of the computers.
    I hope this makes sense, I knew it'd be hard to explain and I'm trying to go by memory... I know this is iphoto section, so if there is a link to the imovie/itunes issue please help with a link. I know they are each separate issues.
    THANKS!

    Thank you, I will look at that for merging them. I was just thinking the DVDs as an extra backup, besides also having a copy on an external hd, or one of the internal drives. Yes time consuming. But extra can't hurt. I also thought of printing index cards to have as reference, especially if we remove some of the photos from the library.
    I found for imovie merging: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11710306#11710306 not sure if its the full answer.
    For the itunes library merge I found: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11924952#11924952 (looks long but didn't find anything else)

  • New MBP i5 coming, what kind of improvement to expect from old MBP?

    i got a 15" MBP in very late '07, 2.33 ghz core2duo, 2gb memory, 4m l2 cache, was a solid machine when i got it, now passing on to my sons to replace a nearly dead macbook...
    i've ordered a 2010 mbp 15" 2.53ghz i5 with the high res antiglare, kept the drive at 5400rpm and not the fancy solid state (too expensive, would rather have the high res screen, and going from 5400 to 7200 on platters didn't seem dramatic enough)
    in terms of using massive photo archives in iphoto, dvd creation in idvd, imovie along with all of the usual (lots of mail.app, tons of word/excel from msft), what kind of performance leap do you really think i can expect? will it be as dramatic as that 50-100 percent people imagine? or just "a lot better" - i know that it will look better because of the high res, i'm thinking more about app launch times, online video viewing (many tabs at once etc) and using photo/video intensive apps more...
    also running windows 7 in a parallels vm so hoping for even more speed...
    all thoughts welcome...

  • PLEASE HELP..A FEW MINOR (HOPEFULLY SIMPLE) BUT SERIOUS PROBLEMS

    I just started cleaning my comp out after MUCH TIME.....I accidentally delted the iMovie that came with the comp, the iMovie HD 6 i downloaded for it since the new ones layout isnt pro at all, iPhoto, DVD Player and I think thats it. So I need help getting those back When I tried downloading the iMovie HD 6 it says it cant because its already on my comp...I imagine if I knew how to find iPhoto, the original iMovie and DVD player it would be the same way. ACtually did it with DVD Player too. Tried to install a new on but it said it was older than the version on my comp though I deleted the version on my comp by accident. SO I NEED THOSE APPS BACK...how do i do that?
    Seondly I cant open my sustem preferences window to go through any of my system preferences...it just wont appear. Can anyone help me with that??? Thank you.

    Hello,
    The iLife suite of software, iPhoto/iMovie/etc should be in your Applications folder.
    (DVD Player is NOT part of iLife). You are thinking of iDVD to burn DVD's with. iDVD is also part of iLife.
    *"Seondly I cant open my sustem preferences window to go through any of my system preferences.."*
    Click the Apple logo top left in your Desktop, then scroll down and click System Preferences.
    If you can't launch it from there, you should have a System Preferences icon in your Dock. Looks like a light switch with an apple on it.
    If you still can't access the iLife software or your System Preferences window, use your restore disk(s) and try an Archive and Install.

  • Keywords are not showing up on photos

    After going to great length to assign keywords to my entire photo library, I burned all the photos onto iPhoto DVDs in preparation for my computer getting a new hard drive installed.
    After new hard drive was installed, I reinstalled iPhoto 4.0.3 and uploaded all my photos from the DVDs. I noticed that my keywords pane had reverted to the default keywords (because I hadn't backed up my plist file for this), so I added all my keywords back into the pane (and deleted the defaults I didn't need).
    Now there are only three keywords (out of a possible 12 or so) that are showing up. Favorite, Vacation and 4H.
    Why aren't the others showing up??? Is all my hard work lost?

    Unless you really know what you're doing, the only way to preserve keyword associations is to preserve the entire iPhoto Library folder. Had you burned the entire iPhoto Library folder to disk, your new installation would have only required that you drag the iPhoto Library folder from the disk to the new Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

  • Missing Disk Space....How to Fix This?

    Hi all,
    I've got a 60gb Macbook. I'm using Whatsize to figure out what's been eating my hard disk space, but it still doesn't make sense. I'm the only user on my computer, and my home folder says I've used about 43 gigs with about 12 left. Using Whatsize, it calculates my use to be about 21 gigs, which is what I figured it to be, adding up my music, photos, docs, and apps. But on the sidebar of the Whatsize app, it says that I've used 43 gigs in my home folder. So what is eating up the extra 22-ish gigs on my hard disk that my home folder says I'm supposedly using? I was poking around Whatsize and under Macintosh HD-->Users, I found something weird. I've got 2 accounts under the same name ".USER" and "USER". The one without the period before it contains all of my files and docs and stuff (and 21 gigs, exactly what I've been using), while the other one just says "USER.sparseimage" and the sparseimage is 26 gigs! What is the sparseimage and can I delete it? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate this! Thanks!

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with FileVault (FV) on my MacBook when I deleted a master copy of a iphoto DVD. The cdr file (ca. 5GB) disappeared but the space was still occupied.
    What worked for me was simply turning on USE SECURE VIRTUAL MEMORY in the FV preferences (Preference Panel). FV (Mac OS X 10.4.10) requested a restart and then asked me whether I desired a cleanup of my disc.
    Confirm FV's cleanup request and let it restart. You should have that missing disc space back afterwards.
    Hope this works for you guys also. If you are interested, www.omnigroup.com has a great program to check where your disc space has gone (Disc Sweeper) and I advise to always get the AppleCare. Have had a few macs and not one worked the way it should.
