Iphoto folders in finder, can i make them appear?

I use iphoto and have created many folders within the application to organize my photos. My problem here is, for example when I want to send a file from Skype, I cant drag a photo from iphoto and drop into the skype (send to) function. I have to select the photo through finder when I press the (send file) icon in skype. Of course, the photos are organized by dates, and I was wondering if there is a way of making the iphoto folders i personally created and named appear in the finder, so i can find my photos much faster? Right now i go to iphoto, find the name of the file and then when sending a file from skype search for that file and then send it. Quite a lenghly process.
(by the way. when you want to change the background image, in system preferences, it shows your iphoto folders.)

Hi Daniel,
Unfortunately, no. We used to have that feature, but no more.
You can share/export the photo to the desktop and then choose it from there. (then delete it from the desktop) when you are done using it. You can also drag it right from the iPhoto Library window to the desktop (this copies the image to the desktop)
Yes the albums do show up in system Preferences. To be able to have the desktop image rotate at intervals you need to choose the album within iPhoto and then hit the desktop icon. Only this album of images will have the function of rotating at times intervals. None of the other Albums listed will have this Option. Another feature that was taken away.

  • How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server?  Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

    How do I best integrate existing laptops for a new server?  Can I use the existing home folders on the laptops and make them into Network Users?

    Yes it will work.  I've done it for a few users in my small office.  As with anything, there are quirks that you may or may not experience.  Most quirks are app-related, due to app developers hard-coding absolute paths into their apps for things like temp files (Photoshop).  Strategies for resolving these sorts of quirks can be found via google.  You would probably have seen these quirks already when using server-based home folders for your kids.  If you haven't noticed them, then you're probably fine.
    The tech note you cited should be fine.  It doesn't explicitly say so, but you'll need to enable ssh on your server, at least temporarily, so you can upload your home folder to the server using scp, rsync, etc.  Don't try to copy the files up to the server via Finder.
    Once all your files are transferred to the server and in the right place, make sure to chown them on the server, so they are owned by the userID you created for yourself on the server.
    As with anything this involved, make a good backup of your laptop first.
    Note I have one user that isn't too happy with the responsiveness of the periodic mobile home syncing.  She has about a decade of e-mail in her home folder, probably 50 to 100 emails per day, many with attachments.  Mobile home syncing takes a long time to check and sync this huge tree of itty-bitty files, eevn with server-side file tracking turned on.  The other users are happy.
    The nice thing about mobile home syncing is that when a user "graduates" to an age where they've earned their own laptop, you can change them from a server home user to a mobile home user, with a minimum of fuss.  Also, if you lose or break a laptop, you can add a new replacement laptop to your network, and pull-down a replica of the home folder from the server, with almost no downtime.

  • 3D bar charts export as jagged PDFs - how can I make them smooth?

    I want to export my 3D bar charts as PDFs, but they export without anti-aliasing or smooth vector lines. The bars are jaggy, not clean. How can I make them higher quality?
    I've checked my system settings and those in Acrobat 7 Professional, the 'smoothing' is turned on. I can't find any similar posts here either.
    Any ideas?

    Hey there! So I plugged in my ipod to my computer and it didn't show up where it normally does. I need to update my song list. How can I make it appear? It doesn't come up in iphoto either. A few days ago my sis plugged it into another computer but I don't know if she synched it to the other computer, and frankly, she won't remember. I have tried updating itunes, charging the ipod, restarting the ipod/computer, and the rest of what the apple site said to do. Ps I have the latest ipod touch
    I need help stat! Please help!

    I'd say your sister messed up and your iPod is toasted.
    Think about it...  She plugged it in to another computer, she doesn't remember what she did (yeah, right), and now your iPod is not being recognized by your computer... 
    Also take into consideration how old is your sister, and how much does she know about electronics?

    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly.  How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files

    I've got a G5, OS 10.5, and an IBook OS 10.4.  Both can reach the internet wirelesly. 
    How can I make them aware of each other, so they can exchange files?  Both have network
    icons in the systems peferences, but I can't see how to hook them up.

    That got me closer, but I'm not quite there yet.  On each ofthe two computers I've allowed all users File Sharing and Remote Management.  Each computer has an address 192.168.1.2 (or 4).  When I enter those addresses into "connect to server" the reponse is either 'drop box' or 'public folder'.  So it seems that only very basic sharing is allowed. I have'nt  set up a public folder on either one.
