IPhoto on an iBook G3

I have an iBook G3 with OSX 10.4.2. Frequently (two times!) it start erasing all the icons of my library of photographs, then, if I recharge the pictures in the library, I can see the icons again but near of it there is an "empty" icon with the same name. What happens? Maybe the G3 doesn't support the OSX or iPhoto 5? Thank you.

Valerio:
Did you rename or move any files/folder within the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder?
If the library rebuilding by iPhoto doesn't help try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library by copying the files and necessary data from the old library. This will create a new database file which may be damaged in you current library and causing the problem. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Good luck. Post back if this doesn't help and we can work out a workflow to create a new library from the original files in your current one.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • Preparing iPhotos for an iBook

    Over the years I've tried to avoid photos uploaded to Apple for an iBook from being printed too darkly.  In printing circles it's often called "press gain."  In short, I'm just about ready to upload pictures for an iBook and I want to avoid getting back a book of pictures that come back darker, muddy, details lost etc.  I'm working with iPhoto 9.6.6 on an iMac about a year old, my pictures are exposed properly with all necessary final tunes (when sent to a print making service like Mpix, the colors are clear and true, details are all there, and so on.  Maybe there's a fix like adjusting saturation...or maybe there's a better book printing service out there.  Appreciate your input.
    deu

    What is the color profile? The best to use for iPhoto is RGB. Adobe RGB often produces results that are too dark
    As to best prep - iphoto is designed for amateurs using point and shoot or lower end DLSRs and is not a professional tool - the best results are when the minimum amount of adjusting and tweaking is done and it is best done using only iPhoto - see iPhoto: Five steps to great books, cards, and calendars - Apple Support - point 3 specifically - bottom line for iPhoto books - less is more
    Better Print service - totally a personal opinion - for me (and most I suspect iphoto users) there is no better service - iphoto books printing is simple and straight forward - certainly there are other services and many people use and like them - lots are cheaper - probably some do more professional printing, but again that is a decision only you can make

    PS BTW - these are not iBooks - that is a totally different electronic animal - these are iphoto photo books

  • Transfer iPhoto, iTunes from iBook to iMac

    Hello-
    Just wondering how to transfer my pictures and music from iBook to iMac?
    I'm not sure if my firewire port is functioning on the iBook so that way
    may not work. Thanks

    cjohnson24, Welcome to the discussion area!
    The fastest way is to boot your iBook in Firewire target disk mode. The iBook will then appear as an external FireWire drive on your iMac.
    FYI, from your system information you have an Intel-based iMac. This discussion area is for the older iMac G4 . You should post future questions in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.

  • Can't open iPhoto after upgrading computer

    Hello!
    I have an old iBook G4 that crashed a few weeks ago. I couldn't rebuild it so and got Mac OS X Leopard Version 10.5 and installed it. I transferred everything from my iMac (latest model) including photos. Then I got my old iLife '06 and installed iPhoto to the iBook (which was on there before it crashed). I did all the software updates and now have iPhoto 6.0.6 installed.
    However, when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
    "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
    I can see all my photos in finder under 'All Images'. When I click on a photo the path is
    username - pictures - iPhoto Library - Originals - Year - Date - photo file name
    However, when I go to finder and click username - Pictures and then iPhoto Library there is nothing there.
    How do I get to open and import my photo library?
    Thanks,
    Julia

    Julia
    As the new iMac has a later version of iPhoto it sounds like the Library has been updated, and the old iPhoto 6 cannot open it.
    Your choices are
    1. Update iPhoto on the older machine
    2. Rebuild the library for iPhoto 6. To do this try use iPhoto Library Manager.

    My ibook won't assemble. How do I fix it?

    Assuming you are trying to do an iPhoto photo book (iBook is a computer assembled in China) in iPhoto for the Mac
    Will it preview -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    do you get any error messages - what exactly do you mean by "will not assemble"?

  • IPhoto version 4 wont open pictures burned on CD using version 5?

    i have a G5 iSight PowerPC and my girlfriend a G4 ibook (2004). I downloaded our vacation pics from my camera to my G5 using iPhoto v5.0.4 and accidentally erased my camera's memory card after the download. So - I thought I'd burn a disc with the new photos and then import them onto her G4 (which uses iPhoto v 4.0.3). Everytime I insert the photo disc into the G4 I get a message saying iPhoto cannot open album as it was created using a later version of iPhoto.
    I'm stuck since she cannot get our vacation pics onto her computer ! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance..
    iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.7) compatibility, versions, iPhoto v4 , v5
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    iPhoto 5 is perfectly capable of exporting photos to a folder on your desktop. Just drag the selected images from iPhoto to the target folder. Burn that folder to a CD, and you can share it with anyone who has a computer with a functioning CD drive.

  • How to get rid of invisible duplicate photos in iPhoto '09?

    Hello All,
    In the course of transfering my data from my external drive (clone of my iBook) to my new MacBook Pro, I transferred all the photos I had in iPhoto on the iBook.
    Afterwards, I realized the photos on the clone version of iPhoto were not necessary as I had them backed up elsewhere, so I deleted them all in iPhoto (on the MBP) in order to start a fresh library.
    To do this I selected them all and hit the delete key.
    Yet somehow, my iPhoto library still showed 9 GB of data.
    But where are the photos?
    I thought they might still be in iPhoto trash, but the empty trash feature is grayed out....
    So then Idecided to import a smaller collection of photos from my iBook directly to the MBP. iPhoto asked what I wanted to do with duplicates and I indicated not to import (apply to all).
    Now, my new iPhoto library is 12 GB, i.e. the deleted 9 GB + these additional photos...
    After reading some forum messages I installed the Services add-on that lets you see the contents of your iPhoto library, and almost every photo is duplicated!
    Yet in my iPhoto window, only one copy of each shows.
    How can I get rid of these invisible duplicates?
    Thanks for any advice!

    Thank you, that sounds like a good solution, except.... I've already begun erasing and reformatting my iBook drive, so I no longer have a separate copy of the photos I wanted to keep; they're in the iPhoto '09 library, along with duplicates...
    Is there no way to "weed out" duplicates ?

  • IPhoto 6 crashed after rebuilding thumbnail cache

    I, too, have had trouble with iPhoto 6, but only when I finally clicked "ok" after the endless suggestions to rebuild my thumbnail cache. The result? A loss of all my thumbnails on my eMac. My elaborate structure of albums was there, but each one was empty. I gad to call Apple several times, as the solution seemed to work but didn't at first. I hunted everywhere, as 10,002 photos were seemingly lost, and eventually found the image files in the iPhoto trash. The Apple expert told me that my iPhoto library was probably corrupted (perhaps too simplistic an answer, or were all 10,002 photos somehow corrupted?) so the suggested solution was to rebuild the library after having made a copy of the old library just in case--knowing that the images were actually there in the iPhoto trash. Thank goodness I had just enough space on my hard drive to do this. This crisis occurred the very night before a vacation where I was planning to take a lot of nature photos, so when I returned 10 days later, my first task was to rebuild the library with a whole new album and folder structure. It took two days! Now I am getting the "rebuild your thumbnail cache" instruction again every time I open up iPhoto on my iBook that I use for work and my eMac, and I won't dare do it. Who has a thorough explanation of this problem and has any information on whether or not Apple has encountered this enough to address it? Thanks for weighing in on this.

    Christina:
    Did you check the file sizes of those files you found in the Trash? If you still have them check their size to see if they are truly the full sized files or just the thumbnails?
    Does your current running library have the albums, slideshows, keywords, etc. intact? If so I suggest you try letting iPhoto Library Manager rebuild your library. It will create a new library and a new database file and copy the full sized files from the old library. I believe it creates new thumbnails. That might get you away from that incessant "rebuild thumbnails" message. Here's how:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option

  • IPhoto 5 not open after "using" iPhoto 6

    Hi
    We have two Laptops at home, one iBook G4 (OS X 10.3.9 & iPhoto 5.0.4 (263)) and one MacBook (OS X 10.4.10 & iPhoto 6.0.6 (322)). After copying the library (via ehternet) from the iBook to the MacBook we have a problem: On the MacBook - after automatic actualising of the library - everthing is o.k. and all pic's an keywords are there. But starting iPhoto on the iBook produced a messege, that the library can't be open with iPhoto 5 because it was opend by a newer version of iPhoto (what we didn't do to our knowledge) and now this newer version should be used (which does not exist on the iBook). Something must have gone wrong while copying the library. Can we change back the library on the iBook to iPhoto 5-standards or is an upgragde of iPhoto on the iBook the only solution?
    Any help is very welcome. Thanks.
    PS: hope my english ist understandable

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Make sure the two Macs are disconnected, then, go to the Pictures Folder on the iBook. There you will find the iPhoto Library Folder. Have a look inside - but don't change anything! Is there a file there called
    library6.iphoto
    If so, then indeed that Library has been updated and the only solution is to upgrade the iPhoto on the iBook.
    However, if there is inly a file called
    library.iphoto
    then double click on it and see if the Library will open.

  • Using both iphoto 4 and 6 with same library-is this possible?

    I just bought ilife 06 for my desktop computer (g4 400, tiger) but I also have an ibook (g3 500, panther) with iphoto 4 on it.
    I have been using iphoto on the ibook, and have a fairly large library.
    I would like to share the same library between the two computers, but I'm not sure that this is possible-it seems, from my research, that iphoto 6 uses a different file format, and I'm worried that if I open (or import) the library in iphoto 6, I won't be able to use it in iphoto 4 anymore.
    lots of instances of the letter 'i' in this post
    thanks

    tabla369:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Once a library is upgraded to V6 it will to be usable by any previous version of iPhoto. So if you want to have the library on both computers you'll have to copy the V4 to the G4 library and convert it to V6 and run it as V6 and keep the iBook's library at V4. You might be able to connect the two computers together and try to share one library with the other (see iPhoto's preferences). I don't know if both libraries need to be the same version for that type of sharing as I've never done it.

  • Help, Iphoto 08 transfer from iphoto 09 TM backup

    Hi all, I have a small problem. I originally had all my photos on a mini 10.5 w/ iphoto 09. Backed up via Time Machine.
    I have a second Ibook G4 on 10.4.11 w/ iphoto 08 now.
    On the Ibook I originally had iphoto 06, I transfered the the photo library folder from the mac mini back up on time machine. I had iphoto 06 open and ext drive hooked and I went to xfer it kind of just started importing can't remember how.
    I didn't like iphoto 06, upgraded to iphoto 08 on ibook. it didn't break in to events. I had to manually break up events by date and delete multiple dups and those face recognition thumbs. Hours later..... I noticed when i went to upload photos to Facebook, ebay , my finder just shows "iphoto library w/icon" and no drop down arrow to choose event or photo.
    Question is how/what do I do to be able to view library to upload photos web and other sites.

    This sounds like you drug the iPhoto '09 library onto iPhoto 06 and imported it - you must never import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library

  • Using iPhoto in iMovie HD 6

    I have a problem which I have seen others post but so far I haven't seen an answer. I am using iMovie HD 6 and iPhoto 6. When I use the media section of iMovie the audio section showns Garage Band and iTunes files but when I select the photos the list is empty and says that I need to start iPhoto. iPhoto has been started and has photos in it's library but they don't show up in iMovie.
    Does anybody know how to correct this?
    Thanks
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The error message says "Launch iPhoto 2 or later
    to
    populate this list"
    Hmmm. Something is preventing iMovie from "talking"
    to iPhoto.
    (Everything that follows is grasping at straws, so if
    someone knows the solution to that particular error
    message, please speak up.)
    Can you think of anything that might cause that? Have
    you changed the name of the iPhoto app, for example?
    Are the photos stored in an unusual place? On a disk
    with a strange name, perhaps a name containing
    punctuation characters?
    Library is called iPhoto Library as originally setup by iPhoto on my iBook hard drive.
    You might try activating iPhoto and making a change
    to an Album — add a photo or something. Then click on
    a different Album. Does anything change in iMovie?
    No
    Interestingly, iMovie 6 Help says it requires iPhoto
    4, not iPhoto 2. (An error message may need updating,
    of course.)
    Here's what Help says:
    "I don't see any photos in the Photos pane.
    You must have iPhoto version 4 or later to see photos
    in the Photos pane of iMovie HD. You must have also
    opened iPhoto at least one time on your computer to
    be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie
    HD."
    [End of quote.]
    I've done all that.
    There might be a Library problem in iPhoto. For
    information about that, search iPhoto Help for
    "Library". One topic says this about switching
    between libraries. Switching — or re-choosing the
    current library — might help:
    "To switch between photo libraries:
    Quit iPhoto.
    Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the
    Finder or move it to a new location on your hard
    disk, and then open iPhoto.
    Tip: If you don't want to rename or move your current
    iPhoto Library folder, hold down the Option key while
    opening iPhoto.
    Click Choose Library.
    Choose the library you want to display.
    Click Open.
    The library appears in the Source list. Any photos
    you import will be added to this library."
    I tried a couple of things here. First I renamed the library so that iPhoto couldn't find it. When I opened iPhoto it asked me to choose the library or create a new one. I chose the renamed library which opened correctly but there was no difference in iMovie.
    I renamed the library again and this time I chose to create a new library. After iPhoto opened I imported some photos into the library and then started iMovie. iMovie still didn't see the photos.
    I also tried iDVD and the media section there gives me the same error message - Launch iPhoto 2 or later to populate the list.
    This machine came with iLife 05 installed and I upgraded to iLife 06. I am wondering if there were settings which did not get properly upgraded or if there are links to the old programs which weren't removed.
