IPhoto not enough..recommend home publishing

I recently switched from a pc to a mac. I am totally happy but I miss the photo editing software and homepublishing software of Picture it! and Microsoft works. I liked to make calendars, cards, collages, etc with my photos and/or clip art. Is Adobe Photoshop the closest I can come to that on my Mac? I heard it's kind of advanced. Any suggestion?
I am using iPhoto 5.
Thanks, Karen

Hi. Welcome to the Forum.
I've tried photo-editing with what is free on Windows XP; and iPhoto is better for basic organization and image adjustments. It does not do collages or stitching together multiple images, however. If you want something more versatile, then Photoshop Elements 4.0 is a good option. It is only about $80-$90 and provides most of the capabilities you would probably want from Photoshop CS. It is fairly easy to use, but not as easy as iPhoto.

Exporting from iPhoto: "Not enough disk space to complete this operation"

Hello. I am trying to compile a quick time slide show. There are 72 photos with a total size of 136mb. I get the error "there is not enough disk space to complete this operation" when I try and Export it to my Desktop. Is there a limitation on size to export to Quicktime slide show? I have never noticed this problem before.
Thanks.

Greetings--I may have solved this one myself. I knew I had plenty of HD space (92GB) so that wasnt the problem as the error indicated, so:
1--'poofed' iPhoto icon from the Dock--(don't know what the exact description is, but I removed the iPhoto icon from the Dock and it disappeared in a cloud of poof!).
2--I ran Disc Utility and repaired the HD.
3-- I then did a Restart.
My Export to Quicktime seems to be working okay at the moment with no more error
message so maybe the HD just needed straightening up. If you dont hear from me on here again, consider the problem solved.
Cheers.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.

When I am importing photos from DVD rom, iPhoto shows " not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library", but i have over 200G free in hard drive? how do i fix it?

Mac Pro Book
Mac OS X 10.7.5
iPhoto 11 9.4.2
importing photos into iphoto, shows "Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
tried creat new library, same thing.
currently only has 2,500 photos in iPhoto
Importing about 500 photos, but cant do it due to the message showed above.
Who knows how to fix it?

How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.

XML Publisher report ends up with Warning: not enough storage is available

Hi,
We have customized the AR Invoice print program (Invoice Print Selected Invoices) and have made converted the Oracle 6i report to XML Publisher.
We have around 13000 AR invoicesin the system and when i try running the report for around 300 invoices, it works fine. When i try running it for more, It gives a warning and when i try to open the xml file to see if it is fully generated. I found that the XML File is broken in between and gives an error "not enough storage is available to complete this operation.".
We have around 2 GB space in temp but we are not sure, why this is happening.
Appreciate your help. Many Thanks in advance.

Hi Kesava
Can you check the $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory and see if you can see the file and its size? Maybe open it with vi or emacs and goto the last line and see if its complete.
You might also check the OPP log for this request to see if there is anyting in that log?

How do i allocate more memory to my iphoto application? i am unable to add more photos to my library i keep getting a pop up saying not enough memory in my application

how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library. i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Hi
Error -108 memFullErr Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

IPhoto deleting images in iPhone but failing to import as not enough space

I've lost the images and films on my iPhone as unfortunately I have the import set up to auto-delete (aargh!). Not enough disk space in iPhoto but it still deleted everything on my iPhone.
Any idea if I can recover the lost images from my iPhone?
Thanks, Stephen

first you must have a minimum of 10GB of free disk for the Mac to operate correctly plus any extra space for special programs - do not continue operating until you have adequate space - many bad things can happen if you do not have adequate free disk
as to these photos you may be able to recover them using a program like media recover - http://download.cnet.com/MediaRECOVER/3000-2242_4-42741.html
in the future never allow any computer to automatically delete photos from your camera - import them and properly disconnect your camera and be sure everything is good (I wait for at least one backup cycle) and then use the camera reformat command to erase the media card and renew its format

HT5129 I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.

I keep getting the message MobileMe has been discontinued - iPhoto willmove albums you have published to MobileMe Gallery. . . but I have not knowingly published any photos to MobileMe. How can I get this message to stop. It's getting annoying.
Also, how can I remove duplicate photos in an album without doing it manually?
Thanks!

When the prompt pops up next time you start iPhoto select Learn more. Then click on iPhoto preferences and select the Accounts tab. Delete your MM account and the quit iPhoto. Next time you open iPhoto the problem should be eliminated.

Export from iPhoto to folder, then copy to CF card, not enough space error.

Here is an interesting problem, I'm trying to get 126 photos from iPhoto to a 64MB compact flash card.
I used the export in iPhoto and scaled to 800/1200 and saved them to folder on my desktop. When I get info on folder, it says size of files is 42.2MB. I drag the 126 photos from that folder to the Compact Flash card I have mounted using a SanDisk card reader. When it gets to the 85 photo, it says "unable to copy, insufficient disc space" and doesn't copy any of the pics to the CF card. If I copy the first 84 pics to the CF card, then they will copy to the card and then when I get info on the card it states 31 MB available and 30 MB used. When I try to copy any of the remaining photos, it states not enough space. What gives?
The very interesting thing is if I export the same photos and scale to 400/600, the get info on the folder states the size of the files is now 15.4MB. But when I try to copy to the CF card, still only 84 will go on the card.
Finally, I changed the name from "use album name" to "use title" and exported scaled 800/1200 and was able to get 114 of the 126 pics on the card, but it still says free space remaining. I can't figure this out!
(I need to transfer the photo's to the compact flash card because my wife got one of those digital picture fames for her Birthday, but the thing is not compatible with Mac! So have to transfer pics to card, then plug the card in the frame and it will show the pictures. Unable to hood up the frame to the Mac using USB. It does not recognize the frame.)
Anyone want to take a crack and solving this issue?
Thanks for your response in advance.

HI ksduckfan,
I am not sure if this is your problem, but you must drag the photos into a certain folder in the compact flash card. When you take photos and then mount the card (with the reader) did you notice what folder in the card had the photos in it. To find out, double click the mounted card on the desktop and look inside to find the folder with the photos. This is the folder you must copy the photos back into when you do the transfer.
There is a third party application that will make the process easier for you.

Photos deleted when trying to import to Iphoto when not enough room.

I have tried to download my photos from my camera to Iphoto. I clicked 'delete photos when downloaded'. I had an error message that there was not enough room in Iphoto. When I went back to the camera, all my photos have been deleted. HELP!

first off - do you have a backup of your iphoto library (you should - if you do not you will lose all of your photos sooner or later - along with all of your other files) - computers, software and people fail and a backup is your only defense
Second - how much free space do you have on your disk drive that has the iPhoto library on it? YOu should always have at lease 10GB free - more is better
third in the future never have iPhoto (or any other computer program) delete your photos - import them and properly disconnect your camera/memory card and wait for at least one backup cycle and then use the reformat command on the camera to reformat you memory and erase the photos
For now you probably can recover your photos using a media recovery package like media recovery - http://freshcrop.com/ AFTER you resolve the space issue - until you do that do not use your camera at all or your computer anymore that necessary to resolve the space- depending on what damage has been done due to lack of disk space using the computer may make things worse
An external drive is probably the fastest and easiest way to resolve the space issue -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
