IPhoto issue. Help.

So each time I use my iPhoto I get this error message saying iPhoto Quit Unexpectedly. How can I fix it??? It's very annoying.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

Two iPhoto Issues

I'm having two different iPhoto issues...
I have no problem opening iPhoto, both occur when I try to open the picture or video.
First, I have an issue with many of my photos that show up in the library as thumbnails but when I click on them to open a larger view, they open up for just a second and then disappear. iPhoto remains open, but the place where the pic would be is solid black. I can't figure out why this happens with some pics and not others or how to make it stop.
Second, I have a permission issue with mostly videos. When I double click to open the video a box pops up with the "Finder" log on it that gives the following message:
You do not have permission to open the document IMG_0041.MOV.
Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance.
When this happens, I'm logged in as the computer's administrator and I don't know how to fix this either.
If anyone can help in any way, I would greatly appreciate it. Both of these are extremely frustrating.
Thanks,

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the options to check and repair Library permissions.

No connection for Iphoto purchases - help

hello all...try to post in iphoto forum and got no answer..hoping someone might have some ideas. i can not access apple to buy books, cards, calendars, or anything from iphoto. i'm running latest on iphoto and tiger. when i have assembled a book and hit the "buy book" icon, nothing happens. have also tried to purchase a photo or anything (thinking maybe had a corrupted book) and absolutely nothing happens. the icon grays a little and nothing. i have ability to get on the internet, download, upload, etc., but nothing from iphoto. i also killed all prefs, caches, etc. that are associated wuth iphoto. any HELP would be APPRECIATED......

Hi, applex2!
I'm not real familiar with iPhoto's inner-workings, but perhaps we can hone in on the issue a bit more...
Could your location be an issue?

If not, then...
If you click on the "Book" icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window, then click on the "Options & prices..." button, does it properly link to Apple's iPhoto books page? (This should be a link which is not directly associated with your Apple account, so it should work.)

If you create a new user account and try again from there, does it then work properly?

Need Help in iPhoto '11 Help??

Hi, i have updated my iPhoto '11 to Version 9.2.1 (628). And had to lookup a topic in iPhoto '11 Help, and it says "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". Then I tested Browse Help topics, and the result I get are all the same. So I quit the application. And restarted iPhoto '11. When into iPhoto '11 Help and pick any topic to test. The same "To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet". But I am connected to the Internet. Can somebody assist me.

Hi & many thanks for the reply. I made sure that iPhoto is not running by looking ito Force Quit Applications window. I did 2nd time, as instructed. Just to inform you, i can see and have iCal Version 4.0.4 (1395.7) Help which connects to the internet when i invoke a help topic in iCal. I can see and have Aperture V3.2.1 Help open the Safari to connect to the Internet to show Help topics and solutions. I can access, read, and point at any Help Topics of every application i have installed and with internet connection. Maybe I maybe describing the problem as the computer says it.
When I invoke iPhoto '11 Help, I can see the iPhoto '11 Help. But once I click say "Lesson 1..." I get the message of the Help on the right pane of the Help pane...

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Iphoto 6 help

Just upgraded to iphoto 6 and works fine except for the help topics, that for some reason keeps using iphoto 5 help ( when I click on "what's new" always shows iphoto 5 version ). Any ideas?

I had the same problem and wrote about it here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=319812&tstart=0
The solution was to clean up HelpViewer preferences and cache. Instructions for doing that are here: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/helpviewer.html
I only did steps 1-6.
Essentially, you trash the HelpViewer preference files:
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpui.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
Then trash Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.helpui folder.
The only side effect is as noted at www.thexlab.com:
When you next launch Help Viewer, you may notice that the Library
menu (Tiger, Panther), Home pop-up button (Tiger), or the Help
Center (Jaguar) lists Help for only a few applications. This is not a
problem. When you next launch applications that provide Help via
Help Viewer, their Help will again be listed in the Library menu or
Help Center.

RAW and Iphoto 09 help?

I recently purchased my first camera that uses RAW and I have read that Iphoto 09 helps with the RAW process. My problem is printing the pictures I have taken. I had my camera on Jpeg and tried to print but the pictures were grayer then a normal pic. I recently changed my cameras settings to RAW, so now Iphoto takes 2 images (as I read it should). So how can I print a picture from the camera in Jpeg or Raw the way I see it on screen? Do I need use another program like Apeture (plan to buy when I have the $), I have Photoshop CS, but I use that for edits mainly. I am looking for a simple way to print these nice pics. When I would "edit" the Jpeg pic in Iphoto it turns out nothing like I want on screen, since the original pic is what I want to print anyway. I tried "help" in Iphoto but was not really much help.
This whole Raw thing is new to me and I want to use it in the best way, like I use Final Cut.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
Brent
P.S- My printer says color ink is fine, plus I do not print much in color anyway.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You might want to Google on RAW. There’s a wealth of learning to be done on the subject. Here’s a pencil sketch.
You can only do one thing with RAW files, and that’s process them. RAW is not like other files. It’s a dump from the sensor on the camera. In the more common Point and Shoot cameras when you take a pic the camera processes the sensor dump by a predefined set of rules and saves the result as a JPEG.
What you’re now doing is creating your own set of rules for each pic. This is what you do when you edit the pic in iPhoto. The tools for doing this are on the Adjust pane.
You’re not seeing the RAW in the camera. Your seeing a jpeg preview.
As to colour matching, what colour profile have the pics and does it match what‘s on your printer?

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon!

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!

What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Iphoto 4 help replaced by iphoto 5 help

I'm using iPhoto 4.0.3 and when I go to the Help menu and select "iPhoto Help", all the information and screen shots are for iPhoto 5, which is really no help at all. How did this happen and how do I get my iPhoto 4 help back?

I have the same problem. When I search Help for "burn", it directs me to the "Share" menu. There is no "Share" menu in 4.0.3 .
There are operations specific to iPhoto 4 that I need to perform before upgrading to iPhoto 6. If I can't, then I may be stuck on iPhoto 4 for some time as I experiment with shots in the dark to find solutions.
How do I get the iPhoto 4 Help restored? Where did it go?

You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

When I try to open iPhoto it begins the process and then stops. It brings up a message that iPhoto has quit unexpectedly. Efforts to reopen it bring the same result. My timemachine has been accidentally turned off. I have 20,000 photos on iPhoto. Help!

First, copy your iPhoto Library to an external so that you have a backup.
Second, see if you can create a new Library and have it open. To do this, open iPhoto while holding down the Option key. It will ask which Library to use, or allow you to create a new Library. Save the new library with a different name from the old one.
If that does open with a new library, the old library is corrupt, but all the files are still OK.
If it is a corrupt Library, iPhoto Library Manager can repair some corruption, or transfer the Library over to a new one.

Help with importing Camera Roll to iPhoto issue?

Hi
I have a bunch of images on my iPhone (3GS, 5.0) saved from a phone 'wallpaper' app into Camera Roll.
Normally, as soon as I attach my iPhone to my MacPro, iPhoto '11 automatically launches and imports anything which is in Camera Roll.
This is suddenly not happening and I don't understand why (my software is up to date and I can't find anything relevant online).
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hard to say without knowing to what issues you refer.

IPhoto Issue Please Help

I keep geetting this massage while moving my iphto library to extrenal drive
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
i just brought this WD drive
What do i have to do ??????
HELEP

This is a concern to me:
I remembered that when my external hard drive (yes I keep my iPhoto on an external drive, but have had no problems working it like that) started failing, I made a backup.
There is no issue with keeping an iPhoto Library on an external drive, but ona failing one?
Rather than restore photos from your back up you might have been better restoring the whole Library, no? After all this one is failing (and on a failing disk too, apparently)
As for the syncing : 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.
