Iphoto/ipod

I went to download new photos on to my ipod and now it says itunes 6 needs iphoto 4 to download my photos. I never had had this problem. I have iphoyo 2 and it had been working fine, Must I now purchase iphoto 4?

Choose a different option from those documented in step 6 of the Mac section of this article. iTunes does not need iPhoto to sync photos to an iPod, but some functions require iPhoto 4 or newer.

  • IPhoto – iPod Album sync issues

    Has anybody else noticed that iPhoto albums do always make it to the iPod, but that the album sort order doesn’t? All albums – SmartAlbums and regular, that I have created since the initial iPod transfer, have wound up at the bottom of the iPod album list. This is most frustrating, as I prefer the sorted list I have in iPhoto, which usually puts the newer ones on the top. The longer I scroll through the albums, the more cautious non-iPod users become (I meet many who are otherwise quite impressed with the mobile family photo album).
    My only plan to correct this is to restore my iPod.
    Any and all help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • IPhoto/iPod and Syncing Albums

    Using OS X.3.9 and iPhoto 6.x:
    When I sync iPhoto with my new iPod (video), will I be able to browse the photos on the iPod by the same Album names used in iPhoto? Will the iPod list my Albums?
    For example, can I present a slideshow of a certain Album on my iPod, then a totally different Album on the same iPod, etc.?

    The people in the appropriate iPod or iTunes for Mac will probably be more likely to have your answer than here.

  • Synching iPhoto & iPod Touch Problems?

    I have always synched my macbook iPhoto library with my iPod Touch and until recently this has always worked well. The last 2 times I have tried to do it though, the synch has only copied 4 photos from the last 2 new events uploaded into iPhoto. I have checked the photos and they are all jpeg formats. I cant think of anything else to do. I am using iPhoto 11, 9.3
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? If you have, how did you resolve it.
    Thanks
    Heather

    Go to your Pictures Folder 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.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

  • IPhoto & iPod As Photo Storage Query

    I'm asking this question here, rather than in the iPod section as it is more of a query that photographers might know the answer to, than those interested mainly in music.
    I know that it is possible to transfer digital images onto an iPod and synch the images between different Mac's. But, what seems less clear is what the best way is of using an iPod to backup images directly from a camera whilst out and about and then to transfer the images from the iPod into a computer afterwards. It seems like an obvious use for an iPod, as they are basically small hard disk drives anyway. I've found various solutions on Google, but most of these links are several years old and use third party devices connected on to the iPod from Belkin for instance.
    Is there any simple way of doing this with a relatively modern iPod? I have two iPod classic models with 80GB capacities, which would be ideal for this kind of use. I know that most use iPod's for listening to music, but it would be nice for those of us who like using Mac's to be able to use an iPod for photography as well. Any hints would be welcomed.

    Allan:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Some of the newer iPods can upload directly from a camera. Check out the Apple M9861G/C iPod camera connector at the Apple store. http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9861G/C
    For older models Belkin has a device. It's discussed at MacWorld: http://www.macworld.com/article/39241/2004/09/belkindigicamlink.html.
    Then there are 3rd party photo storage devices for downloading directly from cameras to it.

    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • IPhoto - iPod problem

    Whenever I try to sync the iPod, it tells me that the iPhoto archive should be updated first by opening iPhoto.
    I did so but it doesn't make a difference. I even added one picture to iPhoto to force it to update its archie: nothing.
    My iPhoto app is in version 2.0
    What do I do?
    Sincerely: Mathias Dubois

    In the iPod Nano features guide it says that u need iPhoto 4.0.3 or later to automatically update albums but if you put all the photos that u want on ur iPod into a new folder you can set the photos in that folder to go on ur iPod in the iPod prefs. the only downside is it doesn't update so you have to reset it every time

  • Can't get photos to show up in iPhoto or on Mac

    I'm using iPhoto 6.0.6 with OS 10.4.9 on a G4 Titanium. I recently replaced the cable for my HP digital camera (I had lost the other). I bought it on eBay and it was advertised as USB 1, not 2, which is just what I needed. (and yes, I understand that the cable may not be the right cable). It fits the specific HP cam jack and connects to my Mac fine. Once I open the camera door, the LCD reads "PC" as it should. iPhoto does not open automatically, and when I open it manually, it does not show the camera - either within iPhoto or on the desktop.
    However, when I look at System Profiler, it recognizes the HP camera and compact flash card.
    I also recently replaced the CF card with a 256 MB CF card.
    Finally, I know for sure there are photos on the camera.
    Thank you all for any help you can provide!
    (ps - took it to the Apple Store where the genius said he had no idea why it shows up in profiler but not in iphoto)

    Well if you reformat them for Mac the Camera won't be
    able to use them. My tip would be to use a PC to get
    the pics off, then use the camera to reformat the
    cards.
    Thanks again TD. I was just experimenting with card readers to see if I would be able to pull photos off from them to load onto the desktop in a folder, then transfer to my iPod using iTunes .. which, I know, is another topic area!
    I have been importing pictures into iPhoto via USB flash drives. Today I found that Image Capture and iPhoto v2.0.1 worked with the camera itself but wouldn't recognize any of the three card readers with cards.
    I will be getting iPhoto 4.0 in the mail today and will update to 4.0.3 on the web. Hopefully that should solve my iPhoto/iPod/iTunes problems. Since I use iPhoto to store all my pictures, I feel it will be easier to use iPhoto to transfer to my iPod in albums I want there. Somehow iTunes will only keep the last folder imported on iPod. If you have a suggestion for the latter (using iTunes to get more than one folder/album on iPod) I will appreciate your advice. And maybe we can move this discussion to the Fifth Generation iPod topic if you do.
    Regards!

  • ITunes will no longer sync photos to" your " ipod

    I received this message when "attempting" to sync photos, options are greyed out. I use Aperture3 not iphoto.ipod version 2.2.1/osx10.6.8/iMac24 duo core.Over 14GB available on iPod touch. Anyone else have this problem? Need a solution.

    Problem seems to be resolved.  Photos are now syncing.

  • Moved 9.2.1 library to new computer, can't authorize or sync to ipod

    Moving from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8.  Current version of iTunes is 9.2.1 (I tried 10.6.3 and it crashed three times in a row, so I went back to what I was familiar with).  Everything went smoothly, all the music shows up, all of the playlists are generally correct (a few smart playlists forgot what some of their fields were supposed to be and reset to "Music").  The two problems I'm having are authorizing any AppleID, and syncing to the iPod.  I don't know if these are related.
    When I try to authorize the old AppleID, we have about 70 or 80 songs purchased through an older AppleID, I get a -42408 error.  I checked the Shared Folder, ran the terminal sudo code from the support site, and then deleted the SC folder.  Still no success in authorizing the old AppleID.  When I try to authorize the current AppleID, all the same problems.  App Store does work.
    Next problem is syncing to the iPod.  First time I tried everything seemed to work right, iTunes reported several gigs of music and a bunch of podcasts on the iPod.  When I ejected it, no music, no podcasts.  When I plugged it back in, all of that space was filled with "Other", and it warned me that I didn't have enough space to sync the playlists I had selected.  Restore.  Sync.  iPod can't be synce, files are in use.  Restore.  Can't restore, files are in use.  Disk Utility.  Erase.  iTunes.  Restore.  Can't restore, files are in use.  Quit everything and restart.  iTunes.  Sync.  Can't sync, files are in use.  Restore.  Can't restore, files are in use.  I even tried deleting the iPhoto iPod photo cache.  Still nothing.  What do I try next?

    Have you played each track at least once within iTunes before you try and load the track to your iPod? If you haven't played the tracks once, try doing that and then see if they'll load; they may not be correctly authorized.
    Hope this helps.

  • What do I need to view photos on tv from ipod?

    Is there a specific cord or something that i need? I have the 30 gig iphoto ipod.

    The manual for the original iPod photo (the 30GB unit) says it should have come with an AV cable. So perhaps yours has gotten lost; if so, you'll have to buy a new one. It's officially referred to as the "Apple iPod AV Cable" and they're $19.00 US from the Apple Store.

  • Trouble with iPhoto and iPhoto library manager.

    I had trouble with my iPhoto constantly crashing, so I downloaded and used iPhoto Library Manager. Now when I am trying to get back to using iPhoto by re-importing my pictures, I keep getting a notification saying there is not enough space on my harddrive. I have spent a long time deleting large and unneccessary files all over my computer, but I am still unable to import my images to the iPhoto library.
    Does anyone have an idea of what I can do? I am starting to get worried that I will never be able to reach my pictures again
    + I have deleted all iPhoto iPod caches or whatever they're called based on recommendation from many sites.

    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

    Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

    I assume that you are using USB? Have you tried connecting the iPod directly to the PC? This would rule out a 1.1 hub on a 2.0 system as well as cable / other USB conflicts. If this does not work can you take the iPod into a store and try it? It may be the unit. If it is it sounds like the iPod is still under warranty. Get the Applecare and you will have phone support at Apple {very helpful} as well as repair/exchange of the unit for the duration

  • "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library..."

    Installed iPhoto6.
    Started app. It said it would take a few seconds or minutes to upgrade.
    About 6 hours later after churning on thumbnails it is now claiming this error over and over with some time that goes by in between:
    "An error occurred while trying to save your photo library."
    "Some recent changes may be lost. Make sure your hard disk has enough space and that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder."
    It says I have 22,759 photos in Library. The Library was a subset of my images, named "iPhoto Library 2005" and it was intentionally kept below the 25,000 limit of iPhoto5.
    Since Steve claims iPhoto6 can easily handle 250,000 photos, I clicked on the upgrade button with confidence. This now appears to be a mistake. Last night I was working on an iDVD for the local school and the majority of that work has simply vanished. There were 320 photos. I spent hours adding keywords, ranking, adjusting temperature, focus, exposure, etc.
    Of the 320, only 16 photos survived. They are 16 in a row from the middle of the roll near the end but not at the end. The roll name was lost. The name is now just "Roll 226" and none of the photos have keywords. I know at least one of the 16 should have the keyword "DUPE" and the ranking 2 STARS since it precedes a double that I ranked 2 during a slideshow, sorted by ranking, and dragged to the DUPE keyword. All 16 should have the ACROCK keyword which I initially assigned to all photos.
    Again, 304 of 320 have vanished and the 16 that remain have no keywords or rankings.
    I watched the slide show in iPhoto5 three times with different music candidates so I know the keywording and rankings evaporated in iPhoto6. I also clicked ACROCK and option clicked DUPE and POOR so that all of the music program photos except dupes and poor images would vanish. I only deleted one photo so there were not a lot of changes to the library in terms of photos in it. I cannot think of any reason why the 16 chosen survived. Only two were placed in a DVD dropzone and they are scattered amongst the 16 survivors.
    Also, the ACROCK and DUPE keywords are also gone while the POOR keyword added in August is in the keyword table just fine.
    I exported these 320 photos last night to iDVD and tried almost all of the different themes and I dragged about 10 different photos to the dropzones, hit play, hit motion, etc.
    It seems very strange that 16 photos from the middle of the pack would survive.
    It seems extra odd that iPhoto5 and iDVD treated these as "established" photos, not photos hanging in the wings somewhere ready to vanish in an upgrade.
    I gracefully saved and quit iDVD and iPhoto5 and there were no crashes and nothing strange happened while making the DVD. I was hoping today to try out the new themes and maybe find one that is just right for the kids. Instead, about 300 of 320 photos of the kids went bye-bye along with all the work on the photos!
    I'm nervous that many more photos are missing but I will need to do a ton of checking to see what else has been deleted by the upgrade.
    The user message that iPhoto6 presents is nearly useless and strange. It offers little if anything to go on in terms of a repair procedure. After saying an error has occurred, it says some recent changes could be lost but doesn't expand at all on what they may be or why.
    From my experience, recently added photos, keywords, keyword assignments, rankings and maybe more can all be lost. To compound matters, before the upgrade it says that you cannot go back to the prior (working!) library in iPhoto5. Beware!
    It finishes by suggesting two vague steps to take. The first is to make sure your disk has "enough" space. How much is "enough"? It doesn't say something like X GB available, Y GB needed. A user would have no clue about how much space to free up. I have over 17 GB and assumed that would be enough. I sure hope it doesn't require double the space of the existing library. I would hope it has a smarter algorithm than that since 23,000 photos at about 3 MB each maps to about 70 GB. That's a lot of "temporary" space to require to perform an upgrade. Since the upgrade/error message provide no details (unlike package installers which supposedly tell you how much space you need), users like me would have no clue if 70 GB is plenty or not enough.
    I found 24 GB secretly used by iPhoto 5 for an iPod Photo Cache and a tech bulletin saying this just grows and grows without control and it can be deleted SO I wouldn't put huge hidden disk usage past iPhoto6.
    The last none-to-helpful suggestion is that a user make sure that iPhoto is able to access the iPhoto Library folder. Huh?!??!?
    Wouldn't this be a great thing to confirm via software before setting about on 6+ hours of work, especially if there is an error message hard-coded in the software confirming that Apple knows the result may be losing valuable customer photos and hours of work on enhancing, keywording, creating DVDs, etc.?
    Of course. This appears negligent. To know that customer file loss will likely result but not checking these things out in advance before taking that risk seems like putting the cart before the horse at customers' expense & pain and certain loss of irreplaceable family photos (for the, say, 80%+ of iPhoto users that "plan" to get a backup routine established?).
    I got burned in the iPhoto5 upgrade as well, losing photos, so I was sure to have a backup so it wouldn't happen again. Most I fear won't be so fortunate so be advised of the risk and work with copies of your photos only.
    Also, why would iPhoto5 have all the permissions it needs to store, edit, tag and otherwise work with 320 photos added last night? Why would version 5 have plenty of permissions to use the folders and the photos in them. Why would iPhoto 6 suddenly lose those permissions or not have enough? This hardly makes any sense. The only way the permissions were set, the iPhoto libraries got created and the albums got created was by dragging a folder of images onto the albums pane in iPhoto5. So, iPhoto5 set all the permissions, everything is under one user account and there should be no surprise permissions for iPhoto6 to deal with.
    It seems unbelievable that iPhoto 6 couldn't do what iPhoto 5 was doing. I never changed permissions and never touched files in the iPhoto 5 structure.
    I can only guess that recently added keywords, recently added photos and recently added rankings and keyword taggings linger in some at-risk staging area that a version 6 upgrade doesn't know how to deal with. This seems like a lame way to code this app so I don't consider this a good guess but what else could it be?
    Anyone else have a better hunch at a root cause?
    Anyone else have an idea of a cure?
    Anyone else run into this?
    It sure doesn't look like there was a test case for having near 25,000 photos (an iPhoto 5 documented requirement), working with the latest roll and then doing a version 6 upgrade because it failed miserably--user data loss--without any special effort to find defects. In a former life I tested software and released software was much more difficult to break than this.
    I would appreciate any other user experiences/solutions related to this problem. I am reluctant to import another 22,000 photos from iPhoto Library 2004 only to find more photos go poof without any rhyme or reason.
    Thanks in advance for your help and I hope this alerts others to a potential for valuable photo loss (i.e., back up before you upgrade, verify iPhoto Library permissions--whatever that means--and have scads of disk space available assuming there's any truth to the error message!).

    G5 Dual 2.7 GHz 2 GB DDR SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I'll check if I have copies of copies of copies. This could take a while due to the number of files.
    I picked up a brand new 300 GB Western Digital hard drive thinking 20GB or so was not enough for temp files for upgrading and/or importing.
    I formatted it as a mac os extended, journaled drive, not case sensitive, one full-size partition. I started iPhoto6 with the option key. I had a CF in my other WD 300 GB (with media reader). iPhoto6 asked about the photos on the card. I told it not to download those (again). Because I was holding the option key down, iPhoto6 asked if I wanted to select a different library or create one. I created one on the brand new, 100% empty 300 GB drive. I'm not sure if/where iPhoto6 creates temporary/cache files (like iPhoto iPod Cache folder) as it sets up a new library. I was hoping the empty 300 GB drive would give it ample room to load an existing iPhoto5 library.
    When I dragged an old iPhoto5 Library onto the new iPhoto6 Library Album pane. I saw the "Importing..." start and it went on and on and on and... I let it run for HOURS and HOURS. When I checked around midnight, it had crashed. When I started it again, it said it had run across some huge number of stray photos.
    I have no idea why iPhoto6 would have trouble importing an iPhoto5 library that was below the 25,000 photo mark for 5. This is especially bizarre since iPhoto6 claims it supports 250,000 photos!
    I'll be trying to figure out if these stray photos got imported as dupes, if they lost iPhoto5 keywords, etc. I fear something different but equally bad happened since the number of photos it came up with was like 79,000--again many stray photos that didn't make it into the first import for no known reason. Since libraries in iPhoto5 were around 25,000 or less, I'm not sure what's happening.
    Maybe there's a cache or temp file still created on Macintosh HD and not on the empty new 300GB drive and a bug exists for imports when space on Mac HD is "low" (i.e., under 3.5 GB). Maybe it's seeing thumbs as files it should import? Maybe it's seeing Orig and Modified images as worthy of reimporting?
    I had told it not to import dupes but who knows if it goes by file name, checksum, byte-for-byte comparison, etc.
    I'm not sure if I can even pull up iPhoto5 and 6 at the same time now to scroll through the libraries to see if dupes, thumbs, original/modifies/etc. are showing up to boost the count from under 25K to 79K!
    Ideas? At least I know I'm not the only G5 dual user with this problem!

  • 10.4.7. iMac 20" CoreDuo won't start any more

    I did upload 10.4.7 yesterday together with iPhoto, iPod, iTunes (6.0.5.) and some other recent updates (altogether there were five, I cannot recall the last one). At first I did notice some “ticking” inside the iMac (2.0 GB RAM) every now and then, let’s say few minutes apart. That has never been heard before. Then this morning I noticed that iTunes was very slow. I did add few of my cd’s, and when attached the cover photo to the lower left corner the iTunes did update it very slowly, I think it took 1-2 minutes to add a photo to 12-15 songs. Then I did call Apple support (case #653790xx). The call took over an hour since everything I did on my computer was like slow motion. We did use DiskRepair and looked at the Console. When restarting the iMac it took several minutes, and when using safe re-start (shift on after re-start) the OS didn’t recognize my bluetooth keyboard. Then I was given advice to reload 10.4.7 from Apple’s site and install it again. Also I was asked to do Hardware Test (from install DVD). When I did try to re-install 10.4.7 there was an error after 71% uploaded, the installer asked to do that again. Then I did Hardware Test as advised, but there were no errors found (I did extended test with looping on and took several rounds). Next, when I tried to restart iMac from hard drive (Macintosh HD 10.4.7), it stopped repeatedly on Mac OS X window. Now I’m stucked, my iMac won’t start any more (I’m writing this by Windows machine, can you imagine?!)
    I don’t know what’s wrong, but I have used Macintosh from 1987 (IIcx) and never, never before I have had these kind of problems. I suggest so far, that you take care when installing 10.4.7 on Intel iMac, I guess there might be a problem. I wonder why there is not email support for these kinds of problems and alert messages…? I’ll leave sailing tomorrow for two weeks and cannot report this by phone.
    iMac 20" (CoreDuo)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
    Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
    Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
    So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver!

  • Nano3g new A/V "Component" cable warning

    I have the new nano 35. after much trouble initially with type of dock (iphoto dock w/ S-video port does not allow "TV out" to be switched to "on") However, I did succeed with a new universal dock via S-video to enjoy viewing excellent TV out. Now the watning : I bought the new Component cable (part # MB128LL/A) doe the $50 went home hooked it up to a component capable TV. The TV output function automatically appeared as "ON" and audio worked however the picture (previously viewed on the universal dock/ S-video) was now completely distorted ... two images side by side stretched up with bizarrely saturated bands of color ... Thought I might have chosen PAL instead of NTSC but I had not. Tried "full screen = on" which yielded no picture at all. I know the component ports on the TV to be good so I returned the cable for money back. could have been a defective cable .. but i will waste no more time solving the problem or risk money on it. suspect they still have issues with compatibility for some products (i.e. some TVs or early production nano3g's).

    PS Sorry for the typo i meant nano 3G not 35.. also the TV videos i was viewing were bought from iTunes and viewed successfully via the UNIVERSAL dock/S-video
    I couldn't view via the iPhoto dock even though it had S-video out which works well with the iPhoto iPod with the color display.
    the Apple article : http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
    does not (I believe) correctly show a pict of the iPhoto dock with an S-video out ... but the one i have surely does not work with the nano 3g ... so it is either an early product in transition or the article doesn't show a pic of all the dock types with S-video.
