IPhoto image description

Recently my PB G4 hard drive crashed but fortunately I had a backup on an external drive. I have imported the iPhoto images (iPhoto 08) from the external drive to a new iMac running OS10.6.2 and iPhoto 09.
The images moved ok to the new iPhoto app however all the event titles, image titles, descriptions, keywords and input information for images and events did not transfer. How do I restore the photo descriptions and events to the new iPhoto 09 app?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You don't want to import an library into another library. You lose all of the metadata, albums, slideshows, etc. and gain duplicate files since each original, modified and thumbnail file is imported as it were an original file.
Do you have a backup of the iPhoto Library package? If so then copy it into your User/Pictures folder replacing any library there now and launch iPhoto.

My title and description info on my iPhoto images do not import to Aperture 3.2 with the image. Is this just the default setting and if so, is there a way to import all the info?

Binary images description not available

I scanned some pages from a book on my Epson scanner which converted them to jpg files. I then tried to import those images into iPhoto to clean up the edges but it won't import. Every time the program crashes. I've restarted and repaired permissions. Below are the problem details that are sent to Apple. What stood out in my eye was the phrase, "Binary images description not available".
Could someone tell me why this is happening and what I might be able to do to fix it.
Cheers,

Downsize iPhoto images & export them to a folder using Automator?

Please bear with me. I wasn't sure where to post this since I can't find an Automator string in the Discussions window. This is what I'd like to do. I'm making web site using iWeb and I love it. However, when dragging and dropping images into iWeb from the iPhoto media browser, it imports the original iPhoto image into iWeb and not the edited one. This seems stupid to me but there it is. So as some have suggested I thought I'd grab and album and have all the photos in it downsized to 800x(constrained proportion). Can Automator do this? When i poke around in the iPhoto actions in Automator I don't see much. I've searched AutomatorWorld also and can't find anything there. Am I being dim about this?

Benjamin
I can't help you with Automator, but there is an Automator forum under the Mac OS X 10.4 folder, where I'm sure they'll help.

I upgraded to Maverick O/S and I can no longer right click on iPhoto images to find my photo files. My photo files are not where they were before upgrade.

Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

IPhoto images missing in Edit window after importing iPhoto albums folder

A friend of mine with new macbook tried to import her iPhoto images from an external hardrive. She move it to her user photo album and then i believe she tried to point to it after launching iphoto. She told me there were some options windows popping up and she does not remember what they said but the current result is that many of her photos do not appear when she clicks on the thumb nails to edit them: said there is a grey field with a questin mark.
My thought was to somehow repoint to the file or dump the .plst file.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
todd

Todd
The question mark shows up when the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window loses the location of the file it points to.
The most common cause of this is User activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
As your friend now sees.
Unless your friend nows exactly what changes she has made, I'm afraid the best way to fix this is to start again, importing from your originals folder.
There are comprehensive instructions for moving the iPhoto Library Folder in the Help, or if you need more you can most on here.

TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes. I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them. Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

Slideshow: show image description in caption?

Hi All,
is there a way to include an image-description trough Meta-Data when using the Slideshow-Feature and showing "full" captions?
I tried entering all sorts of descriptions through File-Info but nothing of that appears in the caption. Did I miss something obvious
or is giving the file a descriptive name the only way there is?
Thanks for all input!

Full captions in slideshow options will cause the slide show to display the one to four lines you have set to display under the thumbnails in Content. So you'd want to include 'Description' in one of your Additional Lines of Thumbnail Metadata (Edit > Preferences > Thumbnails) then put desired caption text for each image in File Info - in the File Info Description block (under Author Title).

Where will i find iphoto images in my backup

ok so i backed up my macbook pro but can't seem to find my iphoto images. there isn't the option to search for all pictures like there would be on the mac and when i click on the iphoto icon in my pictures folder it just brings up a box and tells me how many kb it is.
i've looked everywhere but can't see it and don't want to download mavericks till i'm sure i have everything i need backed up (just in case)

Make a note of the size of the iPhoto library in your Time Machine backups.
Close Time Machine
Click the Finder icon at the lower left of the dock on the Mac's screen
Open the Pictures folder
Click on the iPhoto Library to highlight it
Click the gear icon above the window and click Get Info
Note the size of the iPhoto library
The size of your iPhoto library should match the size of the iPhoto library in your Time Machine backups
Assuming that is the case, your iPhoto library is backed up

How to see iPhoto images in finder?

How do I see iPhoto library images in Finder, and also how do I access iPhoto images to download them as album artwork in iTunes?

In general, you don't see the iPhoto images in the Finder. iPhoto replaces the Finder for everything you do with your images.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

HT201250 Time machine include external iPhoto images?

Hi,
I have my iPhoto images held on an external drive. When I use time machine (incidently the same drive) with iPhoto open, will it save the iPhoto files from that library?
Ta

Thats a tricky one...
My time machine settings has the time machine drive excluded under options in the preference pane.
Coincidently it isnt backing up anything on that drive (there other files other than the time machine backup).
My iPhoto Library lives on another external drive and it is happily backing that drive up....
Hope that helps.

Upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and now iPhoto images are blurred...WHY?

I've just upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and the iPhoto images are blurred? WHY?
They were fine before...so now my screen saver is blurred and looks low res...all my images are crap quality...what is going on Apple?
Checked the photos on my laptop and they are crystal clear...anyone else have the same problem?
I wish I'd stuck with the old software now.

I also had the same issue. I upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to the new software about a week ago. Yesterday the photos on my phone were blurry. I "googled" the issue and ended up here. Synced my phone and now all is well! thanks for the help.

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:
iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera
Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

HT4927 iphoto image distortion

I recently had a new hard drive put into my Mac. Now all of my iphoto images are distorted and seem very pixelated. Is thee any way to restore them to their original size? It also added faces to every picture and made mulitple duplicates. Help! Any idea?

I do have a back up hard drive as well.
Restore the Library from the back up.
Then open it with iPhoto. Just open it. Don't import it. Don't drop it on the iPhoto icon or into the iPhoto window. Just open it.
