IPhoto upgrade doesn't allow me to search backups

really disliking the iPhoto upgrade that doesn't allow me to search backups for specific pictures anymore. my time machine won't even let me import my entire library from a few months ago when i press restore. if i would have known iPhoto does not store files in a reachable way such as a master folder with .jpg and .mov files i never would have been using iPhoto for my personal photos.

That was removed about 5 years ago.
my time machine won't even let me import my entire library from a few months ago when i press restore.
That's a Time Machine problem and best asked on the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

That's exactly how it stores them so I have no idea why you say that.

  • Whenever I'm trying to import videos into Image Capture and iPhoto, it doesn't allow me to?

    I've been trying to do this for about an hour now. And it keeps on bailing on me!! I'm super stressed right now and I'm about to rip out my hair.
    It keeps on importing my images sure fine, but whenever I try to import a video (all of my images are about a minute, three to four minutes and one close to ten minutes) it says there something wrong with it and it can't import! Grrrr!
    Please write ASAP, I realy need someones help!! xxx

    Unfortunately, I don't have an iPod, so I'm not familiar with how it works. However, have you tried syncing it - does it wind up in iTunes?
    As for iPhoto, you should be able to copy or export the files to whatever location you want: your Documents folder or your desktop for instance. If you have them in iMovie, you will need to work on your project there (iMovie is a video editor, not a filing system or player) and then export/share it. If you export it, you can save it to any location you want as well.

  • There's a glitch somewhere. iphoto just wont open. upgraded to yosemite and downloaded iPhoto upgrader and it doesn't work, just keeps telling me to upgrade when I did already or quit, so no way to do photos on this brand new mac. that's a pity!!

    You need to have iPhoto 11 v9.6 (which you can get from the App Store) to use iPhoto on Yosemite. If you already have iPhoto 11 then the update is free. Otherwise it's a purchase.

  • I have Elements 10. It doesn't handle RAW. It also doesn't allow more than one Fine JPG to be downloaded at a time. Can this be fixed with a download, or am I stuck to upgrade to Elements 13?

    Yes, it does.
    FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
    It can handle the raw files covered by the ACR 6.7 version.
    For newer cameras, you can use the free Adobe DNGconverter to batch convert a folder into the DNG raw format that PSE10 can read and edit.
    (see the link in the upper document)
    Fine JPG to be downloaded at a time.
    All versions of Elements can open many jpegs at the same time, and the organizer lets you import as many as you want?

  • Mail search in iOS 7 doesn't allow me to select messages from results for Exchange account

    I perform an Exchange mailbox search and after getting the results I tap on Edit to select some of the messages from the listed search results but I can't select any and the options for Move, Delete and Mark are greyed out.
    If I do the search on the Gmail mailbox instead, the selection circle is available, I can select individual messages and the options for moving, etc. are all available.

    OK - unless a miracle happens in the next 5-10 minutes - apple's current stance on this is that we (corporate users) are going to have to work on this problem on our side of it!
    I asked - so you expect hundreds, thousands of server admins (internal employee supported and hosted) to change their settings for you  - rather than you changing the way the search app works?  Response was YES!!!!
    They recognize that it is happening as a result of the 'expanded' search functionality, that WE asked for.  Uh-hum it was working before and not now - don't think we asked for that.
    They say that they have no intention of fixing what's broken in the app.  They consider it to not be broken - but rather improved.  WOW!
    They are CLEARLY catering to the 'hey where you gonna be tonight' crowd - rather than the 'We need to meet up at 3:00pm to go over these final plans so that I can authorize the next phase of building.' and the 'Go ahead and plan for the 2 mergers we discussed to move forward - I am canceling the third, though' crowd.
    Yes - I am venting.....
    I am supposedly being transferred to the 'enterprise support team' now.  Tech tells me I never mentioned that it was an 'enterprise' issue.  I'm like - really - exchange account - and I mentioned the corporate impact of the problem from the beginning.  Anyway - we'll see where I get.
    Just FYI - their search tool is supposedly returning these results because ALL of our servers are searching and seeing a server setting that allows it to search historical info ON the server.  He says it happened this way in io6 - but it did not (thus we searched fine before and not now).  I have two users (iPhone 5) who upgraded and have the problem - and one user (iPhone 5) who has not upgraded and does not have the problem.
    OK - just got off the phone with apple.  I was just transferred to the enterprise team - who said that rackspace could pay $700 and then apple would look into the problem.  No, I am not joking.  I recommend that you all continue to post your problems with the mail search as often as possible - and hopefully apple will take some responsibility and fix the issue on the app side - rather than asking us to all supposedly fix it on the server side.
    I am contacting my exchange server admin to see if there is in fact a setting that will 'fix' the ghosting of the emails.  If there is in fact a server side work around - I will post back.  If apple gets smart and decides that fixing broken corporate features matters to them - I will also post back.
    Any suggestions from the IT world reading this?

  • My iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos to facebook anymore. (publish button doesn't work) does anyone knows what is wrong?

    my iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos '09 (8.1.2)  to facebook anymore. publish button doesn' work. (it used to be OK) anyone has any idea?

    There are a couple of things that could be causing this. Try:
    delete your iPhoto cache
    hold down the option key
    in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
    in Library, find Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhotoin that folder, find Cache.db and drag it to the trash.
    delete the iPhoto preference file
    do the same trick with the option key to show ~/Library
    in Library/Preferences, find com.apple.iPhoto.plist, and drag it to the trash
    if there are multiples of any of these files, drag them to the trash too.
    delete the Keychain entries and do Keychain First Aid
    in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
    in the column on the left select login and under category, Passwords
    delete all of the entries that include iPhoto or Facebook
    in the Keychain Access menu, scroll down to Keychain First Aid, enter your user password, select repair, and click start.
    Then restart your computer
    new caches and preference files will be generated
    you will need to reenter your iPhoto preferences
    reenter your facebook user name and password in iPhoto
    this should fix it.

    All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?

    Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

  • HT5527 How do I choose the $40.00 Icloud plan? When I attemp this, it doesn't allow me to click "next."

    How do I choose the $40.00 Icloud plan? When I attemp this, it doesn't allow me to click "next."
    The only way it allows me to click "next" is if I choose the $100.00 plan. The email that was sent to me says that I should upgrade or reduce storage because my plan will be reduce to 5GB as of September 30, 2013. Please advise.

    Try Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Change Storag Plan.  If you are a former MobileMe user you should see Purchase Current Plan listed between the 20GB and 50GB options.

    Try updating to iPhoto 9.4.1. If it's not appearing in your Software Update yet, try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the following page on the Apple website:

  • Problems with iPhoto upgrader on iPhoto 7.1.5. HELP!

    I installed and ran the iPhoto upgrader for iPhoto 7 in preparation to install a newer version of iPhoto (9 or later) so that i can get photo album and books printed via iPhoto.  I downloaded a number of available iPhoto 9 upgrades, but none worked even through i had run the upgrader.  I am now stuck with a MacBook (OS X 10.7.5) with a version of iPhoto that won't open (error message: You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto) and also wo';t allow me to install any iPhoto upgrades.  Help!  I have tried to restore iPhoto from time machine, but that hasn't worked, plus trying the original install disk for my laptop hasn't worked, presumably because i have upgraded the OS a few times since i got it (it's a late 2008 dinosaur of a macbook!).  I am worried that now i have lost my photos and will have to pay 50 quid for a iLife disk with no guarantee that it will work.  All i really want to do is un-install the upgrader and return iPhoto to it's original 7.1.5 state.  Is that possible? Also how can i check that my photos are still stored somewhere without being able to open iPhoto? Please help! Thank you.

    You only need to run the upgrader if you have iPhoto 9.5.  It's not needed for other iPhoto 9 versions, i.e. 9.0 thru 9.4.3.
    You might be able to downgrade that library by following this iPhoto LIbrary Manager tutorial: Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager Help - Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto

  • IPhoto app doesn't show any photos from my photos app

    I just upgraded my new iPad to iOS 6 beta. Maybe that's the problem but suddenly my iPhoto app doesn't show any photos at all. All the tabs (albums, photos, events, etc) are empty.  When I open the app it says "updating photo library" briefly, but that's it. I tried rebooting, deleting the app and reinstalling it, basically everything I could.  Is this a known iOs6 bug?

    Ok, I have the release and I have the issue, photos are just boxes w no pictures, is there a way to remove library and reload? The photo app works fine and all pictures are there.
