Iphoto problems to mac os x 10.5.3 update
since i update to macosx 10.5.3 the preferences panel on iphoto didnt open and the same happens to music settings on presentation module.
whats going on?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
i trash the iphoto library
Do you really mean the iPhoto Library? That would delete all of your photos. Do you mean the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist? If you haven't, try deleting that file, located in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
Also have you installed the iLife Support 8.2 update? If not do so.
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. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Strange Mail problems after Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update
All of a sudden, Mail has started behaving strangely on me and I believe this could be caused by the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update that hasn't been released yet. Whenever I create a new message and click "Send", instead of sending the message, Mail turns it upside down and starts filling my desktop with copies of any attachments included in the message.
Another problem is that all incoming messages seem to disappear just after being received. After several hours looking for them everywhere, I've finally been able to find some of them under my keyboard, but I don't know how to put them back in the Inbox, nor do I know where the rest could be located.
I've found a rule in Preferences set up to move all incoming mail that arrives before it was sent into a custom mailbox folder named "Time Traveling", but the missing messages aren't there either. Also, I don't remember ever having created that mailbox folder nor the associated rule. Could it have been created by a virus in a message I haven't received yet?
Thanks in advance for any help.Ken, sorry to hear what happened to you.
My post was just an April 1st joke. When I posted it, I had no idea when Mac OS X 10.4.6 would be released. If you look at it, you'll see that nothing in my post makes any sense (it requires a little sense of humor which, given your situation, you might not have at this moment).
Now, Mac OS X 10.4.6 has become a reality. Posting in this thread about real problems could cause confusion and reduce the likelihood of getting help, so I suggest you start a new thread instead. Maybe a forums Host should lock the thread? -
Hello I have a problem with Mac Pro, iPhoto does not want to stay open and close as I can figure this out? thanks
Refer below link once
App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually -
I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!
Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

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.

I would like to download the new iOS, however when I go to do that, a message tells me that I cannot because I need 4.6 GB of storage in order to install it. I only currently have 864 MB of storage available on my 16 GB iPhone 5s.
The storage problem would be fairly easy to solve through deleting photos and/or videos, as the Photos & Camera app shows a current usage of 5.7 GB. I am perfectly comfortable deleting photos off my iPhone if I know that they will remain in iPhoto on my Mac. However, when I select photos to delete, the phone warns me that the photo(s) will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices. I tested this with some photos I didn't care about (whether or not they got permanently deleted from all devices), and it is perplexing, because even though the iPhone warned me that the photos would be deleted on other devices, they have not deleted out of iPhoto on my Mac. I even Quit iPhoto and re-started it, but the photos are still there. Why would the iPhone claim that the photos would be deleted from other devices, but yet clearly the photos are not being deleted from my other device? This leaves me confused and unsure.
Meanwhile, if I select a bunch of photos then click Delete, the phone warns me that SOME photos will also be deleted from Photo Stream on all my devices.
I am very annoyed by the ambiguity of the word "some," and not being able to know for sure whether or not photos I delete off my iPhone will still remain in iPhoto on my Mac.
I would just like a really clear answer if possible: currently all my iPhone photos are showing up in iPhoto on my Mac. If I delete photos off of my iPhone, will they or won't they be deleted from iPhoto on my Mac?
Thanks if anybody can help.xcwomac wrote:

If the Photos have been moved into the Library (Events, Photos, Faces, Places) in iPhoto on your Mac (either because you did it manually or as a result of iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import being on) then nothing you do on the phone will delete them from iPhoto on your Mac.
If the Photos are ONLY in the Shared - iCloud section of iPhoto then you risk losing them as deleting them from Photo Stream will delete them from there. -
I have been using iPhoto on my Mac notebook to import photos from my camera. Now it doesn't work. Says Image Capture is the problem. Any ideas?

IMac Migration w/ iPhoto problems
I apologize if my question is redundant as I am fairly new to Mac. A while back I bought a Intel iMac 20" Core Duo. I have not had too much time to play with it but have used it for basic functions, ie Office, Internet, iTunes, and some games. I recently bought a new 24"iMac. I needed another computer in the house. Without knowing much I went ahead and did the migration. I had some photos on my old iMac as well as the other programs and data. Everything came over fine, but now I am having some problems. I have thousands and thousands of photos and have began inporting them. As I have been playing in iPhoto when i do any work for a lenght of time it locks up my computer. It occurs most when I am editing. I am now worried that I have migrated things I should not have and perhaps should have just got the computer working and then slowly improted the items I needed. My question is: is migration the way to go, should I save what I have and then reformat the drive and start over with a fresh new iMac, or just start working on the computer as I want to and work through the issues as they arrive. I am still at the starting gate in terms of what I need to do so I don't want to get too far into everything to only then decide I need to start over. One thing what worried me was that iDVD '06 migrated as well and now wonder if my iLife 08 is a good clean copy or if it got messed up with the migration process. I hope all this makes sense. I have been a windows user until now and just don't understand all the Mac does or how it installs, records etc. Did iLife 06 come over to my new maching with iLife 08? What other problems can I expect? What about setting I had, will they all work as tehy have been migrated to the new machine? Like I mentioned before if I get a cleaner copy of my new machine I I am ok to clear it out and start over. If that make little difference in the long run, then I can go a different direction. I just can't afford to lose data, or time as I want to make sure everything works. Having to compleatly shut my computer off to get it too work again after working in iPhoto scares me. Thanks again for your time. Please give me some ideas or what you all think is best.
Holy Cow, out of curiosity I just checked out my current versions of iPhoto...and on my older (albeit updated with iLife awhile ago) mac mini is iPhoto '11 version 9.2.1 (628)...and on my new iMac the iPhoto version is 9.1.5 (615). Is this an earlier version? Or just one for the iMac?
How would this be possible in that my brand new iMac running lion (and presumably the most up-to-date software) would have an older version of iPhoto than my mac mini which had the iLife upgrade probably around a year ago. It seems disconcerting that my older mac mini would have a newer verion of iPhoto than my brand new iMac.
Even worse, I tried to update the software by clicking the apple logo upper left corner and select "software update". It said, "Your software is up to date. Software Update doesn’t have any new software for your computer at this time."
What the heck is going on here? and I presume the "version issue" is why I'm getting the error code mentioned above. -
2 macs running ML and iphoto 11 - one mac cannot access photos
We have 2 macs (I also have an iphone). They are both running ML and I bought Iphoto 11 for both of us. I can log on to my computer and get into icloud and see all of my pictures. My computer has no issues and works well....I have enabled both checkmarks for sharing in photostream. I log on with MY apple ID and password and see all additions to my pictures taken with the iphone.
When I try to get my husband's machine to work, I log onto HIS account and I can see typical Icloud stuff...so he can access Icloud. My problem is that I have enabled Photo Stream on his computer; have checked the boxes for share with others and share. I have enabled everything I can. I have gone to System Preferances in Cloud to make sure all settings are correct.
Every time I want to enable photostream/iphoto to cloud - I get an message saying he has to log into his Cloud account - but he IS logged in. I can see it. Also it says that Iphoto cannot get into his Cloud account - check System Preferances. but everything there is OK.
It does say I can 'reset' Icloud but then it says "are you sure? you'll lose everything"....so I haven't pushed that last button. Do I just reset? It should pick up all of his information again right? The problem is I have to airdrop any pictures to him and he does it for me - and we shouldn't have to do that with cloud. We both have our own apple id accounts - which I verified.
Also, I don't want to share ALL of our information - just the pictures and I want him to be able to get MY Iphone pictures and well as my getting his. (He doesn't have an iphone yet but he'll be getting one soon.) Right now he depends on MY Iphone pictures - goes to my icloud which I have shared with him. He should be getting these with no problem - except his account seems to be corrupted.
Seems there is a glitch with his icloud iphoto connection. What is procedure to fix this?To share pictures, you can always set up a "Shard Photo Stream" by using the tips below:
Set up on Mac:
1) Open iPhoto
2) On the left toolbar, select "Photos"
3) Select all the photos you want to share
4) Select "Share" at the bottom left of the window
5) Click Photo Stream
6) Here you can add them to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one
For a new one, just finish following the on screen instructions
Set up on iOS device (requires 6.0 or later):
1) Go to the Photos app
2) Select "Photos" from the toolbar at the top
3) Click "Edit" at the top right
4) Select the photos you wish to share
5) Click "Share"
6) Click "Photo Stream"
7) Here you can add the selected photos to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one.
For a new one, follow the rest of the on screen instructions
For the log in problem:
Make sure all software is up to date on his Mac by going to Apple logo>Software Update. If you are running 10.7 (Lion) or earlier, it will open a separate window to check for software. If you are running 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later it will open the Mac App Store to check for updates.
Once it is all updated, if you have the same problems, make sure all of his info is in iCloud by going to iCloud.com and confirming it is there. If it is, go to System Preferences>iCloud and log out. When it asks you if you would like to keep the data on your Mac select no. It will bring up about 5 dialogs wanting to know the same thing for different applications. Once he is all logged out, restart the computer.
When it turns back on, go to System Preferences>iCloud and turn it back on. This should fix the problem. -
HELP! I had iPhoto on my mac, for some reason it was not responding or damaged. down loaded a new version but can't find my photos. any ideas please. I thought once on the mac always on the mac.
Sorry but we need details to help
What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?

What happens if you perform certain component update for iphoto '11 on mac twice?
Hi i know it sounds ridiculous and silly question to begin with, maybe i'm just being a little paranoid the thing is that i have update a certain component update for iphoto '11 twice which is "digital raw compatibility update 4.0.3" via automatic app store update on mac and manually via apple support update; the question is that will it replace the update that has been installed earlier on via automatic app store update with the one i have just installed manually via apple support site?, will it take an extra disk space or just rewrite itself cause i don't want to have a dupe update on my mac? and finally will it affect future updates for that particular component? (such as not being detected on app store automatically if new version has arrive?)
Thanks guys in advanceWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
Probably the version downloaded from Apple Support has overwritten the App Store version, although it's strange that the computer has allowed you to install the same update twice. Apart from this, you won't have any problem in the future and probably it hasn't taken more space of the hard drive -
Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again. It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
I've read some older discussions on synching iPhoto between two Macs but is there anything new on this. I'd like to have the same library on both Macs.
Brie Fly is right. You can't do a straight sync. Doing so will make sure each folder in each library has the same files but it can't sync the database files that tell iPhoto which photos are where. Each library will just appear the same and may eventually have problems with all those "unofficial" files in it's library. You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge photos from each library into the other. It would not be automatic in that you'd have to know which are new. You might use the "Last X rolls" feature to do that. But it will copy them and maintain the rolls, album, keyword and other metadata information. I've not used it but many users have reported successful merges with it.

The problem is that a few days ago I bought the iPod Touch 5th generation 16 GB, download "CamWow" and "rhetoric".

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
