IPhoto, Safari and Snapfish
My wife is trying to using Snapfish (www.snapfish.com) to share photos with others. When she trys to upload pictures using the QuickUpload tool Safari says it can't find the plug-in. We keep getting the getting the message:
"The page “Snapfish: Upload Pictures” has content of MIME type “application/x-photocenter-upload”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed."
Snapfish doesn't provide any help or assistance. Any ideas.
Thank you!
Christopher,
You are right. It's not working. I don't know if it is the site, or Safari that is to blame.
I can tell you that this site does not integrate with iPhoto. You will find it very hard to navigate your iPhoto Library folder in the finder to find the photos you want to upload. You would have to share>export the images to a new folder on your desktop and then upload from that folder. Not a good and easy way to upload.
May I suggest you sign up for a different Online photo gallery site that is better integrated with iPhoto.
Shutterfly has an Smart upload program that you can download. You then drag images from the iPhoto Library into the top window of the smart upload program to upload them.
Flickr has an iPhoto plugin in that works directly with iPhoto.
ClubPhoto has a program available called PictureSync.app (it is actually not affiliated with clubPhoto but works with clubPhoto and other photo sites.You select all the images in iPhoto and run the software.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't help you with Snapfish. You might want to email them and tell them the problem.
You can use PictureSync to directly upload selected images in iPhoto to Flickr, Fotki, Zoto, SmugMug, Vimeo, You Tube, Photobucket, Webshots, 23, Buzznet, Club Photo, Textamerica, Foto Time and Real PhotoVideo.

Is anyone having problems with Intel-based iPhoto 06 and Snapfish, the online photo sharing and printer service?
I was able to download their QuickUpload for Mac tool and get it working with iMac G5. I am unable to get the tool to work with new iMac Intel-based machine.
Is this a difference between PowerPC and Intel software for Mac?Christopher,

Safari and Snapfish (photo website)
Having trouble downloading software to upload photos faster on Snapfish.com. When I click on the "Download Now" button, the entire page blinks as if nothing happened. Is there a setting I need to switch on Safari's preferences that would allow me to access this? Is there a plugin I need to know about? Is Safari compatible? I have tried Internet Explorer and Firefox and neither work. ANY help would be appreciated!!
Looks like the Site only serves Windows users and do not support Macs.

Lion 10.7.4 -iphoto, safari and mail won't open
I just bought four iMacs for my school. Two of them won't open the mail, iphoto or safari. I have spent quite a bit of time with the Apple rep, but at this point, he has run out of ideas. I have reinstalled Lion - not a clean install, but hate the thought of the long process that involves. Did a clean install of iphoto, but so far,
I just moved this post to the Quicktime discussions as I think it's more appropriate there.

I am trying to upload photos from my iphoto library to snapfish.com and when I click "upload now" to choose photos, everything on my computer BUT iphoto library comes up-in my pictures folder, the only thing in there is photobooth--I cannot figure out how to transfer iphoto library albums to snapfish.
It has been thought that the iMAC Leopard OS is too far advanced to use the online program SNAPFISH and upload photo images with ease, unlike the PC. NOT!
Here, then, is the Plan Of Action.. Once your photos have been uploaded to iPhoto and placed into Albums, then you can make adjustments: ie Crop, Enhance, Retouch, Straighten and otherwise fiddle with things, and then LATER order Snapfish prints later via your iMAC.
Keep the Originals on the camera’s memory chip for a few days if necessary. For sure make an Archive on a CD.
Rename, retouch, enhance those photos if necessary, HOWEVER DO NOT CROP!
When you are totally satisfied, then copy the acceptable photos over into a NEW Photos Snapfish Folder on the iMac desktop. Simply Right-Click on the iMac desktop, create a folder, and name it.. Like: *Photos for Snapfish..* Something clever..
Then, Whilst in your iMac computer, launch Snapfish via SAFARI, and upload those photos you want FROM that nifty folder on your desktop.
Do not even think of going to Windows for iMac and then to the Internet and then Snapfish.
Whilst in Snapfish, make sure you FIX and ENHANCE (crop) those uploaded photos. Then and only then, do you crop. Unfortunately, Snapfish is a limited program and cropping is just not that sophisticated.
Then, back to the iMac for final cropping of the original photos, (etc) You still have the Originals.
Hope this works for you, it does for me. Lapaka -
I've can't open any applications on my Mac ! I tried to delete some files from safari (history) and then none of the apps including iphoto, safari, mail, facetime. I don't know how to fix it, help ? any idea ?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
IPhoto, iTunes, Safari and iChat all quit seconds after being launched
iTunes, iPhoto, Safari, Quicktime... all quit (with no error) after launching. I noticed this after importing images from my digcam into iPhoto.
Any ideas? I've run diskutility, repaired the disk and repaired permissions.
Mac OS X v10.4.9
iTunes 7.1.1
iPhoto 6.0.6Greg:
The preference file gets recreated the next time iPhoto is launched and does not affect the contents of the library as such. The key file is the library database Library6.iPhoto. It probably got damaged during the crashing.
You can try to recover the library by rebuilding the library. I don't think it will but definitely work a try. Here's how: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't help then you'll have to start over with a new library and import the original files from the old library. Here's how:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Hi. I tried to upload photos to Facebook from iPhoto yesterday and each time I try, Safari freezes and I have to force quit, and finder also freezes. This was all working fine a week ago and I have done nothing that I know of to the PC. Thanks

Delete photo from iPhoto library and HDD
Hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread...
Not being an expert, am I correct in saying that iPhoto only changes its version of the photo when editing it?
Also, if you delete the photo by moving it to the trash can, it doesn't physically delete it from the HDD? (When you empty the trash can)
This causes a problem for a few reasons.
I have just loaded Medialink PS3 which allows the iMac to serve the PS3. (BTW - Good product)
If you point Medialink to the original HDD folder then this still includes photos I thought I had deleted.
Also If I want to burn a cd with the photo folder external to iPhoto , the "deleted" photos are also burnt.
I copied all of the photos from a windows PC, and Picasa allowed you to physically delet from its own folder as well as the HDD.
Doesn't iPhoto 09 allow this?
What would iPhoto do if I went through and cleaned up the external folder and deleted jpgs or edited using Canon editing software? If using the external editor, would iPhoto reflect the changes?
Sorry if this is verbose.
regards,You might want to have a llook at the iPhoto tutorials. They cover a lot of these basics.
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-hero
And the version of iPhoto you are using?
I'm not at all sure that a Referenced Library is what you want. In fact I strongly recommend against it. But however:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
+Some Other Comments+
iPhoto will not touch any file outside its library. Period.
It will copy files on import and leave existing files untouched,
It will delete files within the Library but not outside the Library.
When you choose to go with a Referenced Library you are deciding that You want to manage the Files. You want to import them from the camera, you want to sort them however you want and you want to delete them yourself. That's the point of a referenced Library.
I just did a test by editing a photo using Canon Professional and the changes were not reflected in iPhoto. And vise versa.
The point of iPhoto is that you interface with your Photos via the Application. Like Addressbook for your contacts, iTunes for your Music, it's the go-to app for your Photos.
So, you want to edit Photos, you go to iPhoto and use the External Editor:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.

I can no longer send photos in an email from my iphone 5. It uploads the photo the the "mew message" page and then it freezes! I can use safari and check my emails, and when the email part is frozen I can still use the rest of my phone. Any advice ?!?
Hi, ireland a.
I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
iOS: Force an app to close
Once these steps are processed, attempt to send the photo again.

Can't Open Safari and Word at Same Time
Urged my daughter-in-law to replace her old PC with a new iMac. she did and loves it. But now ther is this glitch that she has asked me for help with. I am stuck — thinking there was a simple selection item somewhere. But if there is, I can't find it. any ideas? Basically, the problem is this: when she trys to rum Safari and Word at the same time, one window disappears when the other application is selected in the dock. Then the other application will appear when selected but the one in the window disappears — nothing crashes. Here's how she describes it:
I could see both windows when I had iphoto and itunes open, but it wouldn't let me have itunes and word open simultaneously, or itunes and safari open simultaneously, or word and safari open simultaneously (as we already knew). I could have iCal open with the other programs at the same time (I just wanted to try another program in the dock to see what happened). I dunno... still it doesn't seem like a faulty operating system.... just a quirky way of organizing opened windows.... I wonder if it has to do anything with the function of using the command + tab function to scroll through open programs. I vaguely remember setting that up, or finding that function somewhere when I first was getting used to this computer and maybe that has something to do with it.
Any ideas?Is she using an account with parental controls enabled and the Simple Finder option turned on?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8166.html
If not, the only other thing that comes to mind (other than Spaces issues, which I don't use and thus can't comment on) is that maybe she's holding down the option key when switching apps, or has installed some third-party software that does this sort of thing.
Edit: I knew I'd seen this recently... someone else was having this problem due to LaunchBar:

Safari and Preview have color space recognition bugs
I found that both Safari and Preview have problems when viewing photos taken by a Canon DC. By default, the Canon cameras use sRGB for their digital still images. But Preview cannot recognize it and would report "ColorSync profile" as "-" in "Tools/Get Info". I guess that Generic RGB profile is applied in such a condition. If the file is opened by iPhoto or Photoshop, the color space information is recognized correctly. And if sRGB profile is manually assigned to the image using ColorSync Utility, Preview/Safari will give the same vivid color representation as iPhoto/PS do.
The image below can be used to do the experiment.

Iphoto 08 and shutterfly plug in
I downloaded and installed the plug in. I then selected the photos and exported them and selected Shutterfly. Then when I try to upload I am prompted to put my Shutterfly user name and password. I do and then I get the pop up box that says "Alert. Authentication failed." I know this is the correct info because I can login using Safari. Any suggestions?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I suggest not using that plug-in. Folks regularly report issues with it on here. You should contact the Shutterfly people to either fix it and remove it.
Alternatives include PictureSync or any of the standard ways of accesing your pics:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:

Help! Suddenly iTunes/iPhoto/AddressBook and others won't open
Recently when on Safari, i'm told by certain websites to update Safari, when it's already current. Then today shockwave won't load when I go to any web page. Now iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and other programs won't open. I can still get on the web, still use some programs like FileMaker Pro and Safari. Can anyone help?
Thanks!Hi stoph-man,
First of all, Welcome to the Apple Discussions Forums!
