Iphoto stuck on landscape when printing

When I want to print from iphoto the orientation of the paper is stuck on landscape. This means if I am printing a contact sheet or any of the presets including the custom options I only print the bottom half of the page. It is not the printer as this prints fine with all my other software- indesign, adobe pdfs and vectorworks etc.
It is not the presets on the printer as this is all set up fine - portriat/ one page/ etc
What is the problem?

It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's that is interfering with the printing process. Here's method to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
1 - close all applications.
2 - open your Home/Library folder and Option-drag (copy) the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
3 - select the contents of your Home/Library/Preferences folder and drag them into the Trash bin in the Dock. You will be asked to provide your Admin password.
4 - reboot. Be sure to know your account's username and password as you will be asked to log in with it.
5 - run the application again and determine if the problem(s) is fixed.
6 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
B - Open the Preferences folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Home/Library/Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace or Skip button.
D - reboot.
7 - If the problem is NOT fixed, drag the contents of the Preference folder on the Desktop into the Home/Library/Preference folder and replace the entire contents that were created by clicking on Replace.
8 - reboot and you're back as square one.
Note: keep the Preference folder on the desktop until you're sure all registration info for your apps are working. If not you can copy the required files from the desktop pref folder to the working one.

Why does IPhoto always crop pictures when printing?

Whenever I print from iphoto the picture alway gets cropped automatically. Why does it do this and how can I stop it? This results in heads and feet often being cropped out of the printed photo which is frustrating. When I double click on a photo to view it full screen I can see the full photo however the actual print, regardless of print size chosen, ends up being cropped. I use an HP C7280 printer.

Photos from a digital camera are in a size ratio of 4:3 which is not one of the standard print sizes. Therefore the photo must be cropped in order to fit the select print size. You should crop the photo yourself in iPhoto before printing so you get exactly what you want with no surprises.
What iPhoto does is take the smaller dimension and scale it to fit that dimension in the print. The larger dimension will obviously be larger than the print so it will be cropped to fit, usually on both ends.
Bottom line: do the cropping yourself to get what you want.

Page orientation when printing from iBooks Author

I have a iBooks document, all in portrait orientation. If I print this doc then it is printed in landscape even if I change the orientation to portrait within the printing interface. iBooks somehow is stuck to landscape when printing.
Who has got a solution to this?

Are you trying to ask for help in the forum or to file a bug?
I'm hoping that someone here has figured out how to control the orientation when exporting to PDF. I haven't been able to find a way to do that.
while there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.
Actually, there is: the Apple Developer Program. I have submitted a number of bug reports for IBA there, and have received timely and constructive responses from the development team.
Good luck and welcome to iBA.
I've been using IBA since it was released, as you well know.

Iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo

iphoto won't let me print a landscape photo this is what it is doing when i go to print and it is driving me mad pleaseeee help

That means your original library is damaged and requires first aid. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

IPhoto hangs/freezes/beach balls when printing TIFF: solved

I was having a problem today with iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) on Mac OS X 10.9.3: iPhoto is freezing/hanging/beach balling when printing TIFF images. I can effortlessly re-create the problem by selecting a specific TIFF image (from a Nikon D700) and attempting to print to my HP LaserJet m451dw (over the network).
The problem occured on the iPhoto print screen. I was able to select 1 or more images to print and then select the print size (e.g. full, contact sheet, etc...) however when I click the Print button at the bottom of the screen iPhoto would hang. Normally the printer dialog would appear.
I am using the latest Mac OS X 10.9 drivers from HP (Jan 2014) and printing from other apps such as Word worked.
I had tried the following with no luck: completely rebuilding the iPhoto DB; removing and reinstalling the printer; removing the iPhoto preferences.
The solution in the end was to rotate the TIFF image. The wife had rotated a number of images to portrait mode for a contact sheet but could not print. After mucking about with the problem TIFF image I rotated it around back to landscape and it is now working.
I hope this helps someone else experiencing the same problem.

The reason I asked about the format of the disk is that folks report issues with Libraries stored on disks that are not formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Terence could you tell me more? I have not found the corresponding post.
I have a huge (10K photos, 50GB) library on a RAID server under linux formatted as ext 2.
I am not a designer playing with fonts.
After I upgraded to iPhoto '09 from the DVD, it converted my library and I started to look at the animation which crashed in the middle (face recognition was running in the background).
Any attempt to restart iPhoto failed (empty window with spinning wheel).
Then I downloaded the last version of iPhoto.
I restarted from a clean copy of the iPhoto library.=>Same failure.
I try to rebuild everything (except the database which was not an option).=> same failre
I copied a smaller iphoto library on the local hard disc => it works.

My iPod touch is stuck in landscape view. Even when held vertically if I open facebook or safari is rotates to landscape. Have tried turning on and off, same results. Any ideas to fix?

Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

When printing from my Mac all of a sudden when printing from IPhoto the picture is really dark. The test page off my HP color laser jet is just fine. It is not the printer although older. All of sudden it does not want to print correctly.

All of a sudden when printing from my desktop Mac in IPhoto the printout comes out black. My colors are fine on my HP color laser printer. I have printed many times and now all of a sudden it is not printing. A test copy from my printer comes out fine. I really think for some reason something has changed just in the last few days. Just communication with IPhoto and the computer.

As long as your cartriges are full, put a photo on you desktop, highlight it , click COMMAND P and the print preferences window should drop down, and select your printer and photo paper.

Skin Tones Look Wrong When Printing From iPhoto

Hi
I'm having trouble getting the caucasian skin tones to look right on photos printed with my Epson Stylus C86 printer on Epson Premium Semigloss paper. They look too pinky/purple when compared with the screen of the Sony DSC camera I shot them with and also my iMac's monitor. They just look wrong as though the subjects have a combination of bad sunburn, high blood pressure and are blushing at the same time!
I've tried the following tips synthesised from other threads:
1. Downloaded the latest set of drivers from Epson's website.
2. Ensured that they are associated with the printer in ColorSync utility.
3. Selected the Use ColorSync option when printing from iPhoto's print dialogue box.
These made no difference to the default behaviour i.e. same color problems.
Could anyone guide me to a solution? I would rather not have to use another application to print them if possible. I'm not used to my Mac not "just working".
Thanks

What color profile do the pics have? Is the printer set to the same profile?

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

Thanks OT,
I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

Printing problems, black mark appears on document when printing using auto portrait/landscape

As the title says, pdf is fine on screen but when printing using auto portrait/landscape a black mark appears on the screen as in the photos below
when the orientation is selected the line disapears and the print works correctly
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

When printing two-sided from my Mac on landscape A4 with 2 columns, how can I get my HP Photosmart 6520 to print the same way up?

Or, it is set the other way around (which makes more sense). Even though you are in Landscape mode, it is binding on the Long Side of the paper. Since you are in Landscape, you would want it to bind on the short side.
Think of the Binding like a Book. How would you flip the finished pages to read the “book.” Where it would be bound in the imaginary book is how you want it to print.

Printed photos from Aperture 3.2.1 have lines through them - don't get that when printing from iPhoto

I recently downloaded Aperture 3.2.1 and after editing a couple photos (love that process!), tried to print them. Both had horizontal lines across the entire photo. I don't have this problem when printing from iPhoto.
As an FYI, I have this problem when printing from PSE too, but worked around it by importing edited photo back into iPhoto and printing from there. I don't want to do that with Aperture, because they have much better printing choices.
I have a Canon MP 500 & a Canon IP 4300 - same issue with either one.
I contacted Canon tech support and got this reply:
We appreciate your correspondence regarding your PIXMA MP500. I am sorry that lines are printing through photos printed from aperture.
If aperture is the only program the issue occurs with then the print setting in aperture will need to be changed. You will need to use the icc profiles for the paper you are using. For details changing the print preferences in aperture please goto: http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/how-to-use-icc-color-printer-profiles-ap erture-3-canon.html
I looked at the link and basically had a brain freeze. It was very complex, and I was concerned that it was for Red River papers - I use HP paper.
I called HP to get their instructions for icc color printer profiles - complete zero. They said it's a printer issue and would be happy to sell me a HP printer.
Please, can anyone help a struggling Aperture newbie? I'm so frustrated.
Thanks - Jma

Hello Kirby,
Your recap is correct. I ran Apple Software Update and both programs are up to date. I looked on Canon's site and there are no new firmware updates for either printer.
When I select "print" in Aperture, I've selected the Canon MP500. Under the "Rendering" section, the color profile offers six different selections that include the MP500. I've tried them all. They all have lines through them. There is a note, in grey, beneath the Color Profile box, that says to "Turn off color management in the printer driver". I have absolutely no idea how to do that, and I've googled it, to no avail
Under "Render Intent" I've tried both selections - Relative Colorimetric and Perceptual. Still, lines through both.
This is really discouraging. Both printers work perfectly fine - with iPhoto, so it's hard for me to justify buying a new printer. And how do I know I wouldn't have the same problem with a new printer?
Fingers crossed that this can be resolved. I have several photos I'm supposed to be printing for gifts. And if the problem is in Aperture or PSE, won't the lines still be there even if I use one of the online printing companies?

How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

How do I get Adobe Reader XI to default to Auto Portrait/landscape when I print?

I too am looking into this issue for someone at my work and hoping someone can provide a resolution for this nuisance.
It is correct that that Auto Portrait/Landscape is usually set to default for Adobe Reader XI. One day, Portrait was randomly switched as the default setting. Granted the setting could be set back to Auto on a per file basis, this slowed down the time to mass print several landscape reports. The problem only occurred under one Windows account profile while other user accounts defaulted to Auto as expected. Uninstalling the software, clearing out all Adobe traces from Programs/Program Data/Application Data/Registry, and reinstalling the software did not make any difference. All printer preferences/configurations were the same amongst the different user accounts.
While it would sound like rebuilding that one person's profile would be the final solution, it wouldn't be ideal to reconfigure the several remote connections with banks and hospitals (we're an anesthesia billing company) on a new profile for what might be a simple, yet elusive fix to this print setting. I have noticed other posts on other sites mention this issue, but no resolutions have been provided yet. I'm sure part of what makes this difficult to resolve is the inability to replicate this issue elsewhere.
