IPhoto Project Templates Gone

Im running iPhoto 08 v.7.1.5 and all my project thumbnails are gone. The book and card one come up with no templates at all, and the calendar one wont open at all. Not sure why I dont have them, I used to! I've tried restoring my iPhoto using my Mac system disk, upgrading, etc and nothing brings them back. Any suggestions?

You'll have to reinstall the templates as follows:
Restoring iPhoto Themes
First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • IPhoto project export to iTunes disabled in Mountain Lion??

    I am a bit frustrated. It seems that after upgrading to Mountain Lion I cannot export my iPhoto project to iTunes anymore. This is a pity because it is a nice way of bringing my projects with me (iPhone / iPad). Any suggestions?

    Thanks for asking!
    iPhoto had an option to export a project to iTunes. I used this option a couple of times. Today I completed a new project. And then I thought it would be nice to export it to iTunes ..... I have searched al options, but this one seems to be gone! Even a workaround via PDF is not working.
    This is the first time ever that I feel a bit frustrated on my mac...

  • Old iPhoto project files missing captions after upgrading from OSX 10.4 to 10.7.4

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm hoping you might be able to assist me please!  I had created a bunch of iPhoto project books whilst using OSX 10.4 and the version of iPhoto that resided there.  I've recently upgraded all the way up to 10.7.4 and installed the most recent version of iPhoto so that I can finally purchase these photo books.  iPhoto "upgraded" my projects and now all my captions have been replaced by the "ipsum lorem" template text!  Is there any way I can recover the caption text from the hundreds of pages?  Do they reside in a file somewhere on my Mac or have they been wiped away during the upgrade?
    Thanks for you time and consideration!

  • Won't show custom project template

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create the simplest possible project template, just to get an idea how it works according to directions in this document. It doesn't appear in the create project dialog. I'm probably missing something obvious, can anyone help? 
    The attached zip file is my <LAbVIEW data>\ProjectTemplates folder, written in LV14 64 bit. It simply has a project with one VI called Test and the metadata for it. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Danielle,
    I was able to get your test template to show up in my LabVIEW by changing a couple of things around. In your XML file, I deleted the spaces in between the brackets and added in a couple of "yes" statements. I've attached the working .xml as a .txt file. I changed it around based on some of the existing .xml files that came with LabVIEW. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

  • My IPhoto library is gone and I cannot find it. I have found an earlier version witha few photos but the big one is gone. Any ideas?

    My IPhoto library is gone and cannot be found. There is an IPhoto in Applications marked "original". I can find the one I'm looking for using Time Machine but when I try to open it it says that it cannot be opened as there is a newer version installed. Any help would greatly be appreciated:-)

    Download and use  Find Any File  to search for the file "Library6.iPhoto" which is in every iPhoto Library package. If you find more than one check both to see if one is your missing library.

    Hi
    If you have zip file of the project then unzip it into your project  location where all projects are there .then in NWDS go to file->import->multiple existing project into workspace->browse the file where you have saved it and select the comp folder inside the project folder->click finish.Now you are able to see the webdynpro project in the webdynpro explorer.If its not appearing then go to Navigatore and right click on project and click on open project, it will open the project in webDynpro explorer.

  • How do I import an Iphoto Project (book) directly into Aperture 2?

    I have a book that I did as a project in iPhoto '08 that I would like to import directly into Aperture 2 and "redo" the book using Aperture's new features.
    Although I imported my iPhoto library I don't seem to have this project in Aperture and when I look to export the project from iPhoto it wants to export it as a movie.
    Since the photos from iPhoto are in Aperture I figured that importing the iPhoto project would be easy. I don't want to recreate the book again if I can help it - I just want to import and modify it in Aperture.
    Is it possible to do and can anyone tell me how to do this?
    Thanks,

    You CAN completely customize the text in iPhoto books, including left/center/right justifications, and it is fairly easy. Here's the workaround:
    1) In your iPhoto book (or calendar or whatever) layout, highlight the text you want to modify or change its alignment.
    2) Launch TextEdit and open a blank document. Paste the text from iPhoto into the document.
    3) Still in TextEdit, highlight your text. Using ordinary word processing methods, modify or realign your text as desired. When satisfied, highlight the customized text and copy it.
    4) Back in iPhoto, paste the newly modified text you just copied from TextEdit into the desired text box, overwriting (or deleting first) the original text. All the modifications you made in TextEdit should apply.
    This trick can work wonders for helping make an iPhoto book completely your design.

  • I know how to create a PROJECT template, but is there a way to create SLIDE templates?

    Basically I've got several modules, and throughout all the modules is several different pages (text&graphic page, hot graphic page, tab page etc etc).
    What I would love to do is create a set template for each page type (a template for text&graphic, a template for tab page etc) as I have numerous instances of the same pages throughout all the modules (and also for continuity as well).
    It would be great to create placeholders for slide templates just like the application in project templates, and then be able to drop these slides into different projects to have the same foundation to start adding data.
    Project templates is a good start, but only if i want to use the same template throughout the entire module.
    Any one know how to do this?
    Thank yo
    Rich.

    If you're using Cp5/5.5 you can create multiple master slides to them apply to the applicable slides (I don't remember if it was in Cp4).
    Master slides are portable, also, you can copy all the elements and paste them onto new slides in the same project or a different project.
    Insert > Master Slide
    Which should create a new blank slide in the Master Slide panel.  You add items to the slide like backgrounds, captions, rollover captions, highlights, shapes, animations (buttons/click boxes are not allowed).  You use the timeline as you would with a 'normal' slide, but you can't adjust the length of the master slide (this doesn't impact the length of a 'normal' slide).
    On your content slides you select the master slide in the Properties panel, general, master slide dropdown.

  • Problem while creating a new project template

    I am trying to create a new project template under one operating unit newly created.
    I am using P A Super User responsibility for that operating unit.
    In profile setting the above responsibility has been assigned the new operating unit under Mo operating unit profile.
    Now when I go to Setup>>Projects>>Project Templates and click on New, the form to create new Project template opens up but in the field where I have to select the operating unit, it shows no values in the LOV.
    Can anyone please help me to know what setting do I have to perform so that I can select the operating unit in this new Template creation Form.
    Regards
    Hawker Hunter

    Dear Mr. Govind,
    we have followed all the Project Implementation Setup for the new operating unit except for the Implementation options which we have to fill up for each operating unit.
    In the implementation Options form in the first tab 'System' there are many fields to be filled up.
    For 'Summarization period Type' we choose 'G L Period' and based on this the fields 'Calendar Name' and 'P A Period Type' automatically gets populated.
    But in our case the 'P A Period Type' is not getting populated.
    Can you let me know where we can link the 'P A Period Type' to the chosen 'Calendar name'?
    Also there is a check box - 'Maintain common PA and GL Periods'. If we tick this check box, a message says: 'The Period Type and Calendar of the PA Period does not match the Period type and Calendar of the corresponding GL Period.'
    Can you please let me know where to create the PA Period based on the corresponding GL periods?
    Regards

  • When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

    When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

    You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
    Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
    Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
    means
    one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
    again
    Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information  - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

  • My iPhoto library is gone

    My iPhoto library is gone, and I don't know where.
    My system was slow, so I ran the Disc Utility and it told me the disc needed repair. I took it to an Apple Store genius bar.
    The "genius" told me the disc was dying, slowly. He got me to buy a portable hard drive. Then he sent me to sit in a theatre seat and told me to copy my important data files onto it.
    I copied my documents, seemingly without difficulty. I tried to copy my iPhoto library. But for some reason the most recent 10 rolls of digital "film" did not copy.
    Moreover, for some reason the entire iPhoto library is now missing from my original hard drive.
    The "genius" wasn't too concerned. He spent 5-10 minutes looking for my iPhoto library, and shrugged. It's a consequence of an aging disc, he said, sending me on my way.
    Now I'm at home trying to find my iPhoto library on my still-functioning computer. When I try to open iPhoto, it says, "Your photo library was not found. Do you want to find your iPhoto library folder?"
    Yes I do. But where could it be? The "genius" looked in the obvious places. I keep searching under User, Photos, Libraries, things like that.
    Any ideas? I could really use some help here.

    Search for
    library6.iphoto
    that's the main database file. Wherever that is, your Library is. Use an app like EasyFind to search the disk. It's slower than Spotlight but will search locations that Spotlight won't.

  • Can't create Project from the Template or access project template

    Dear Experts,
    We are facing a issue while trying to access the project template/create the project from project template.
    we have 4 project template in place and of these two are working perfectly fine but
    From remaining two we are not being able to create project and even templates are not accesible , whenever we are trying to access the project template system rotates a circle for some time and keeps us on the same page.
    Even when we are trying to create project from the same template, system does the same again rotates the circle for some time and keeps us on the same screen.
    And System is not throwing any error for the same (we have checked in the log as well) just not letting us in and not allowing us to create project.
    Any Help Will be Highly Appreciated.
    Regards,
    Rakesh Daiya

    Dear Experts,
    We were able to find out the issue,
    We added 3 groups to the template with "Reviewer" access with "Document Only" Type in the project template.
    When we changed the type to "Template and Document" from "Document Only" and  system started allowing us to create projects from the template.
    Can anyone please help me with one query,
    Can we add a group(which includes all the buyers) with reviewer access and with Document only type?
    Does this really be a reason behind projects are not getting created from template?
    Any help will be appreciated

    This option allow you to update the project with out assignment on the project.

  • Project Templates with Enterprise Resources

    I'm using Project Server 2013 ( latets updates installed for both Client and Server)
    I've created a project template and attached this to a project type. My template has enterprise resources speciified. So far so good.
    Now I'm trying to create a project using this template and I'm getting some errors.  (See below)
    As soon as I remove the resources from my template the project creates fine.
    It looks like 'rsResourceCannotAddLocalWithSameNameAsEnterprise'  in the error below means that Project Server looks at the resource in the template and considers the resources in the template always to be a local resources. And of
    course the resource already exists in my enterprise resources and therefore the project creation fails.
    Datasets:
    ProjectDataSet
    Table ProjectResource
    Row:  RES_UID='0bb2c5b5-1716-e311-a1c1-005056992257' PROJ_UID='3121855b-f13b-e311-9f7f-005056991b52'

    3a21855b-f13b-e311-9f7f-005056991b52.
    My questions are:
    Are Enterprise Resources in templates supported?
    Is there a way around this? We're trying to make it easy to select a subset of the enterprise resources available.

    I have experienced this exact same thing and my situation is highly irregular. 
    This is with Project Server 2013.
    I had an EPT with a Project Schedule that had Generic Enterprise Resources assigned and was able to create new projects without problems using the EPT from the New button in the Project Centre in PWA.
    I was creating new projects to test and demonstrate Portfolio Analysis and was able to model Organisational Capacity represented by my Generic Resources and also the Surplus/Deficit element of Resource Constraints on a Portfolio. The Hired Resource Report
    was failing.
    A Service Pack and Cumulative update were applied to the Server and now I cannot create new projects using EPTs that have a project schedule with Generic Enterprise Resources assigned to tasks in the schedule.
    I checked the error message for the Failed and Blocking job in the queue and the GUIDs were for my Generic Enterprise Resources. I deleted the offending Generic Enterprise Resources and then re-created them anew, edited the Project Template to have
    these Generic Enterprise Resources on the Project Team and randomly assigned them to tasks in the schedule to generate a notional demand for work in the Project Template. I then Saved the Template in Project as a new Project Template and edited my EPT
    to reference this new Project Schedule. 
    Same error encountered again.
    Perversely I can open the Template schedule in Project Professional and do Save As and save it as a new project to the Server and that works just fine - the schedule is visible in the Project Centre and I can edit the schedule in both Project Pro and in
    PWA.
    My hunch is that the Cumulative Update and Service Pack which were applied to try and resolve the failing "Hired Resources Report" in Portfolio Analysis, which sadly it didn't resolve - has probably provoked this interesting challenge as it is
    the only material thing to change on the Server during the time that this issue has manifested itself.
    Am I the only one to encounter this?
