IPhoto to iDisc

I'm running an iMac with OS 10.6.7 and iPhoto 9.1.3. I have a bunch of pictures I'd like to send, at their original size to my father-in-law. I thought the easiest way would be to copy the album from iPhoto to iDisc's Public folder and he could download them from there. But I can't figure out how to get them to iDisc. I tried the MobileMe Gallery, but it reduces the size of the picture and doesn't give me what I need. Any suggestions on how to get them to iDisc?

Export them from iPhoto (File -> Export) and then upload them to the iDIsk.

Iphoto and idisc

Is there a way to export selected photo's from iphoto directly to the idisc public folder.
I don't want these photo's and video's on my gallery, I just want to share a link with someone and allow them to download them.
Can this be done within iphoto ??
Thanks
Dan

THat's more about the iDisk than iPhoto, so I'd ask that one on the MobileMe forum
The iDisk forum is here

IPhoto, not found in Applications/ new X install

Currently 10.4.11,
and all related updates completed last night, except for iTunes 9xx. I'll wait.
I just ripped the drive clean on my old Powerbook G4 15" 1.6 2Gb last night.
I have no plans to go further than 10.4.11.
These older PowerBooks seem to work great at this limit.
Reloaded OS X Tiger from DVD, which was the upgrade to original OS9 when it was released.
I have the 2 original discs of OS9 when I purchased machine new in Feb 05.
Amazingly its still the same Hard Drive. No PC's in my circle made it this far.
The OS9 discs,
one is the Install Disc, and the other is the PowerBook G4 OSX Install Disc.
I have to assume iPhoto is on one of those. But maybe not the preferred way.
I did not use these OS9 discs last night, just the Tiger disc.
Laptop drive was cloned to external OWC Mercury drive using
CCC, Carbon Copy Cloner before wiping drive clean. That was a good find.
Should I just go to external drive to bring back what's missing?
Is it just drag & drop, as in grab application from external & simply drop in Application folder?
Any dangers to watch for?
After he was up and running, I put Tiger disc back in and did the Permissions Repair.
He listed several issues as usual even at this state.
I'll have to bring in iTunes files, & that may have to be a thread on it's own.
Not sure how to handle these delicate issues to make it painless.
With only 85GB left on internal drive after all updates, I want to be a little fussy what comes back.
I was down to only 6GB left when I decided this last night.
iDisc did a nice job bringing in the Bookmarks and iCal settings.
But I'm a little worried of iPhoto, & Aperture 2 of how to handle this.
I didn't have these on iDisc. Probably a to-do in the future.
I'll have to look to see what I had for iLife, & possibly 08 is on external there.
As example/
Not sure if just grabbing Aperture Library from external is the way to do this.
Maybe just set it aside on Desktop until Application is loaded?
Just hope when done, the Referenced files find there way in.
And can Applications from external be enough to bring over? w/o using the application's disc.
I think I entered into unknown territory here just thinking about it.
Thanks' for tips of process. I do have MacPro handy if this guy has crisis.
To get this far, one should really have a pilots license vs learn by mistake, & no parachute.
Cheers

I don't have a MacPro but here's a screenshot of where the iApps are located on the disks that came with my Macs:

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.

Error message doesn't allow iPhoto to connect to order books/prints

i get this messager repeatedly while trying to order books, prints, and publish my photos via my .mac account. AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE CONFIRMING YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION. PLEASE CHECK YOUR NETWORK CONNECTION AND TRY AGAIN. i already checked time/date, my connection is fine, my computer is clean, what can this be?????

I am experiencing this same problem tonight. Did you resolve this problem? If so, how? This is the first time this has happened to me. I know it's not a problem with my account, because I am able to sync my iDisc, log into my .mac account on Safari, etc. The problem seems to be limited to iPhoto.

Sharing an i book created in iphoto with another .mac user

I need to have another .mac user look at an i book that I have created in i photo. Does this person have to have a .mac website for this to work? If not, how would he view this?

Thanks so much for your answer, I saved it as a PDF and stored in
on iDisc in the public folder as you suggested. Now he can access that
by going to his iDisc, and 'Other User's Public Folder. Thanks for your
help. Are you with Apple, or just an individual?
Laurie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you want your
friend to be able to work with the book in iPhoto or
just look at it?
If it's just look at it then do a Print to PDF and
send them the pdf file. If it's too large to email
then you an post it to your Public folder on your
iDisk for them to download.
If you want them to work on it in iPhoto then there's
no easy way to accomplish that. One method would be
the following:
1 - duplicate you iPhoto Library folder and name it
Book Library.
2 - open the Book library (launch iPhoto with the
Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to locate
the Book library and open it.
3 - delete all of the photos except those in the
book, all albums, slideshows and any non book items.
4 - now you can either burn the Book library folder
to a CD and get it to your friend or make an archive
of it (Control-click on the Book library folder and
select Create archive in the contextual menu) and
upload that to your iDisk Public folder where your
friend can download it.
You friend can then unzip the library folder and open
it as noted above.
Do you

Iphoto crashing after using mini-dvi to video adapter

Hi, IPhoto on my Macbook is crashing. I can open it, then as soon as I scroll down it locks up and I have to force quit.
This started happening right after I used a Mini-DVI to Video Adapter cable to hook my macbook up to my TV. The adapter/s-video connection worked and I was able to see the video on the tv. But iphoto immediately locked up the computer when I went to slide show and now it locks every time I open it.
Any ideas?
Thank you:)
Dorothy

It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Cannot open and update IPhoto after upgrading to OXYosemite

From the App store, I downloaded and installed OXYosemite. There are 2 more updates available: iPhoto and iMovie. When I try to upload them, the notice I get is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
I have 2 apple IDs when I inquire about my ids. Signing in App Store with either of them, doesn't resolve the problem. I get the same notice. iTunes, Mac, mobile downloads, all use the same apple IP, only for the computer downloads from App Store isn't working.
What should I do?
Thanks, Sev

I have the same problem and can't find out how to correct it. Unable to update iPhoto or iMovie .. I get the same message as above user. Help!

I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.

I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar. When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in. Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year. The photo calendar is almost complete. Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

Hi,
If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.

Cannot send email from within iPhoto

If I change the preference to use email, everything goes fine but I lose the formatting feature.

Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. Check out the Stationery...

How can I restore an iPhoto library from Time Machine (ML) - when I TM doesn't see the backup??

Hi,
I recently did a Time Machine backup of my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) onto an external HDD. Around the time of the last backup, my system was behaving funny so I decided to rebuild the OS X.
Because the last TM backup was of a system that as mentioned, was somewhat 'unstable', and I only had a few backups available (didn't have TM running too long beforehand) - I decided not to use TM to 'restore' my system. I just did a clean install of ML and planned on pulling files over manually. I'd done this before and it worked a treat.
This time ran into a snag. The backup disk TM used was an external HDD which I wanted to upgrade (suffice to say it works fine). So, I needed to move the backup.backupdb directory to my other HDD. The copy seemed to work fine ... so far so good.
I installed the new ML OS on my MacBook Pro and that was fine too. I was able to pull most of my files over by going into the TM backup and copying what I needed.
BUT, for some reason, this didn't work for the iPhoto library?
Alas, I found that you need to do a 'restore' iPhoto library file from whithin TM. So I fired up TM and noticed that it didn't recognise the old backup file located on the HDD. I.e. when I turned on TM, pointed it to the external HDD (where I copied the previous backup to), it started a fresh backup.
So ... my question is - "How do I restore the iPhoto library if I can't get to it from TM?"
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help! The last 15 years of photos are stored in this library!

Hi ...
I've found a solution to my problem.
Time Machine locates extenal HDD backups differently depending if they were done via a network or via a USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt connection.
My initial backup was done via a direct Thunderbolt connection. I ran into the above issue b/c the second time when I tried looking for the backup file the HDD was conencted to my iMac and I was accessing it via a network conenction.
I simply connected the drive directly to my MacBook pro and ... voila. I was able to see the backup, select the iPhoto library and begin the restore.
Hope this helps.
BTW - I found this out by reading the 'blue box' selection on this page: http://pondini.org/TM/E2.html
(Thanks goes to Pondini!)

I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto '08 library to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.

I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto (2007) library on a Macbook to my new iMac for iPhoto '11. First, when I opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked me to create a library, which I did. Then I imported her photos via a wireless network to my "new" library. However, when it finally finished importing, it had imported 3 copies of each photo from her library. I deleted the "new" library and started over.
Second, I opened iPhoto on the iMac and chose to use "other library." I chose my wife's shared iPhoto library and it began transferring the photos to the new iMac (or so I thought). This worked beautifully as it only brought over single photos and not 3 copies like discussed above. After editing the new library and adding some photos from an old PC, I shut down iPhoto. A few hours later I tried to open iPhoto on the iMac and it gave me the opening screen again with choices to create a new library or use a different library. As it turns out, my wife's Macbook and been disconneted from our wireless network. I was able to figure out that that unless my wife's Macbook is connected to the network then I cannot access the iPhoto library on my iMac. I was under the impression that I had copied her library to my computer and that the photo files were now on the hard drive of the iMac. So when her computer is offline I can no longer access the imported library. I want her library to stay on the iMac as we plan to sell her Macbook. As you now know, we cannot access her iPhoto library on the Macbook since she is running an older version of iPhoto.
So, what I would like to do is to completely transfer the photos from her Macbook to my new iMac and be able to access them on the iMac regardless of whether she is on the network or not because we plan to sell her Macbook to a friend. Thank you for any help you can provide.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Help! I am making an iPhoto book and all of a sudden it will not open and I get a huge error message which is supposedly sent to Apple. How do I access that site????

Mac osX 10.6.8
iBook - old version
can not access Safari - going through Chrome
All of a sudden my IBook would not open (100 pages and almost finished)
Error message sent to Apple - how do I access them??????
Thank you for any help you can give me
<Email Edited by Host>

Do you mean, you have been creating a Photo Book in iPhoto? Or an iBook in iBook Author?
If you are asking about a photo book in iPhoto, what was the last you did in iPhoto, before the crash happened? Did you add a page with a map?
Then you may have a problem with a bug, where adding a route to a map may render the book unreadable. In that case the best option is to restore the iPhoto library from the last backup you made, before you added the map to the book.
It is not possible to open the book and to delete the unreadable page. You can only delete the book and start over, if this bug is the reason for the crashes. See for example this link: Getting rid of problem photo book
