IPhoto for Mac problems

Since I installed the last update to OS X, iPhoto is running so slow that I can not even stand to use it! This problem started in May. I do have 36K photos in my library - but this never ending spinning ball started out of the blue the first time I launched iPhoto after the installation of update. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone solved it? Thanks.

What version of iPhoto are you using? As a first fix attempt give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Photo journals on iPhoto for Mac

Hi,
Will Photo Journals be added to iPhoto for Mac (and not only an IOS iPhoto feature)?
I used to use a lot the mobileme gallery, and the photo journals could be a great alternative.
Thanks
Antoine

Antoine,
since we are only users here like you, we can only guess. Please send feedback to Apple, that you want journals.

If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

Hi guidolal,
Are you facing the issue with any pdf's on the Mac.
Have you tried downloading a sample pdf like any Adobe help file from the website and then check if you are able to launch it fine via Reader?

Rave

Captions in iPhoto for Mac

It is easy to caption photos in iPhoto for iOS, by clicking "Add Caption." How do you caption photos in iPhoto for Mac? Where is the iPhoto for iOS caption stored in the Exif data?

Terence,
Thanks once again. At least in my version of iPhoto, the words "Add a description..." do not appear when you are looking at an individual photo, although they are there when looking at an Event. In my ignorance of iPhoto, I did not know that the dialog box was even there in the absence of the "Add a description..." indication. Once I found it by moving my cursor over there, I was able to type in the description (as well as the Title in the similarly unlabeled dialog box above. See below.

How can I change the time of photos in info in iPhoto for iOS. I've done it in iPhoto for Mac but when I sync to my ipad the info field goes back to the camera time ignoring "modify original files" in iPhoto for Mac?

I used "adjust date and time" and"modify original files" to correct the time of photos taken on a camera used in Peru which was set to UK rather than local time. which is 6 hours behind. This was to bring them into line with shots taken with other cameras set to local time. This was using iphoto 08 on a Mac. I then synced to my iPad. The photos stayed in the correct order in photos but in iphoto (iOS version) the original dates appear (the camera dates) and so the photos are out of chronological order again. This looks like a bug but is there a fix?

don't know what you mean by "write to master" but speculate that it means modify the original times, in which case the taken times on the camera should no longer be present
No,I meant your using the option "modify original files" will do exactly that - change the capture date original master files stored in the iPhoto library. Only when you do that, the "date modified" of your original files will be changed as well, and it will now be the date of your manipulation of the capture date.
Oh - I hadnt considered that possibility - but of that were the case, why don't my manipulated photos go to the end of the sequence as I have done all the manipulation after the end of the holiday??
In photos the synced album maintains the chronological order which I set up on the mac by modifying the originals, as you said,
That is what the linked article is describing: "some apps may sort your photos in the order you specify in the app (such as iPhoto or Aperture"
The problem I have is that, in the album, iphoto (ipad) sorts them differently to both iphoto (Mac) and the photos tab on the ipad
In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
"on ipad this is the Photos tab" - but this displays as per the original sequence ignoring time adjustments - the manipulations seem to be ignored (but are reflected in the album in the photos tab) and the photos tahat have been modified stay in their original positiom - they don't get put the end
Because the library uses a different date - the date modified - the date of the last time the file has been changed in any way - any editing you do to your image, including adjust date and time will change the "date modified"
This may change the sorting of the database but it appears not to influence the order in the albums
In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
So how can i get my photos in date and time order in an album in iphoto for ipad?
Thanks for your help

Photos for mac problems

I can't believe there's no similar questions on here...! Well, after 'upgrading' I've run into problems/glitches and annoyances. Loading photos from my memory card works fine, and I mostly like the upgrade. But my Macbook pro retina- new three months ago with 1tb of storage and 16gb RAM struggles with resolving the photos, taking a few seconds to focus each photo. This was instantaneous with iPhoto. And when editing, it takes even longer to focus, sometimes needing to return to the main photos stream before clicking back in on the single photo to fix it. And instead of running at around 40 degrees, using iPhoto from three days ago, my computer now runs at 75-80 degrees whenever I'm using the Photos app. This is in normal parameters, so I've been told, but why the enormous difference?
Albums. There's a lead photo for each album but now there's nothing else, no clue to the photos contained within when you drag the cursor across. This is crazy and pointless. Especially so with iPhoto events. Nothing.
And a major glitch. If you bring up a photo orientated for portrait and pinch/zoom in, there's a lurch to the right that doesn't happen in landscape. This makes it impossible to zoom in on a certain point until you're half-way zoomed in. Not good.
Final point out. In edit, there's a weird choice, where you have to 'add' the sharpening button, definition button etc. This would be OK except it resets for each photo. this is insane.There's no need to have some of these buttons hidden like this.
There needs to be a way for us to customise Photos for mac. We can't flag a photo any more but have to use a childish 'heart'. We're not all fourteen years old. The white background is distracting. Let us customise it. And there's no drag and drop into Lightroom and some other apps too any more. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Anyone have a work around? Maybe updates will fix some of these. I hope so. But Apples' tendency to remove choice and customisability is very worrying.

Second, I spent months organizing curating my iPhoto library, which consists of 35,000 photos, into various events. The new Photos app has completely obliterated that hard work by removing "events" from the organization and then by jumbling photos into what seems to be, at times, a random ordering. Is there any way to resurrect my events and the prior chronology I had established for my photos? I am absolutely fuming at what occurred.
Use the feedback form to let the developer team know: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
This apparent mess is intentional. Photos organization of the library is automatic. It will structure the library by Moments - grouping the photos by location and date.
The only organization you can add are albums and smart albums based on keywords, etc.
However, your events should have been migrated. You should be seeing a folder "iPhoto Events", with albums for each event. Is this folder missing?

Word 2011 for Mac - problems with font color

After reading others' problems with Word, I feel lucky I've got only this small one: I can't change the color of fonts! When I click the arrow next to the Colored A, I get a blank menu! I've found a few others with this problem on the web, but no clear, simple solutions. Anybody got one? I'd really appreciate it!

Louise,

Windows Media Player for Macs Problem

Hi. I realize this is not a direct iMovie question however I (along with alot of other iMovie users) have to occasionaly deal with WMV files by converting them to a format to be imported by iMovie.....therefore I thought some other iMovie users may have encountered this problem. I recently got an iMac G5(0S10.4) and have been transfering some info from my old Mac(iMac G3(OS10.2.8)) to the New Mac. With the new Mac....every time I try to open a wmv file with the Windows Media Player 9 for Macs...I get a message...."This file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported".The file will open..the video will play...but theres no audio. The same message appears for wmv files transfered from the old mac, taken from a CD, or downloaded from the net. However these same files will play on the old Mac with audio using the same WMPlayer. I tried re-installing the WMPlayer...but did not make any difference.The strange thing is....a few days ago when I first tried this ....the wmv files would open and play with audio on the new Mac however now the message comes up with all wmv files preventing me from converting them with audio to a format for iMovie.Is the problem with the new Mac, the WMPlayer or the wmv files. Any suggestions to remedy this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. Strange things still happening. This afternoon when I tried opening the wmv files with Quicktime "flip4mac" all the wmv files were "greyed out" in the "open" window preventing me from opening them. I just tried opening one with the WMPlayer and viewing the "Show movie Info".....it reads...WMVideo-9.0, WMAudio-9.1.....which makes me wonder if the WMPlayer 9.0 will play WMAudio-9.1 but then again the same player plays it on the old mac. Then......just to double-check...tried opening one again with the Quicktime Flip 4 Mac. This time the wmv file opened and played with audio. I'm wondering if the problem the 1st time was that a "restart" was needed after installing the flip4mac software the 1st time (even though I dont recall the installer telling me that). The "Show movie info" this time reads...WMVideo-9 standard and the WMAudio-9 standard. I would prefer if the WMPlayer could open the files (as its a bit more convienent to just double-click and open files then go to Quicktime/menu/file/openfile/wmvfile/open) however I'm glad that I have the option now to use the Flip4mac player.Thanks. P.S.-(Dawn.....if your logged in...the "post new topic" link appears in its usual place for me at the top of the discussions page)

2011 Word for Mac problems

When I open a file in my Word for Mac program that was created in Word and is on a portable drive it opens fine. If I first save the file to the Mac desktop and then try to open I get the message " This is not a valid file name". This problem is on my IMac but it doesn't happen on my Macbook . Both are running Lion and both have the sane version of Word for Mac. (2011). Has anyone run into this problem and did you resolve it?

"This is not a valid file name. Try one of the following:
Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly
Select a file from the list of files and folders

Office for Mac Problems

I have Office for Mac 2004, which supposedly allows 3 installations, with 3 different Installation Key Numbers. I have installed it on 2 Macs, and all is fine until I try to use both computers at the same time. Then I get a message on the Mac on which I installed it second telling me that "a copy of this programme is already open", and if I want to continue I have to close down all the Office applications on the first machine! Very frustrating! I am almost certain I used a different installation Key for the two machines but cannot find the recoed of what Key number was used. If I look in "Properties" I see that the product ID numbers are the same until the last group of digits which are different on the two machines. How can I find which installation Key numbers I used on each machine, and is there any way I can get aouns this problem. I am nervous to unistall and reinstall in case I am then not allowed to reinstall with a previously used Key!?
Thanks,
Kendrew.

Download iphoto for mac os x 10.5.8

Is it possible to get hold of a copy of iPhoto for PowerBook G4 (PPC) running Mac OS X 10.5.8?

Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac? If it did then the disks that came with your Mac will have an installer included to reinstall the preinstalled software.
