Iphoto with leopard

I want to upgrade my OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 (Leopard). I have a G5 power PC processor (not intel). I have the disc to upgrade. Will I lose all of my photos in iPhoto? Will I still be able to use iPhoto? My computer is not compatible with iLife 11 because I do not have the intel processor required.

You don't have to. When you select the paper size and printer the orientation should be set automatically as displayed in the preview window.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

IPhoto with Leopard - Portrait or Landscape Selection when Printing?

Use of old iphoto with leopard

I was surprised to see that iphoto was not included with the operating system on my new dual core system running 10.5. My old imac ran panther(g4) and a friend suggested loading iphoto that was included on the panther 10.3 operating system onto my new system which I did. It shows iphoto as a successful download in my applications folder but when I try to run it it doesn't run. Is there an additional program I need to load off the panther operating system or am I crazy to try this as for some reason they are incompatable?

None of the iLife applications are included with any operating system release.
They do come preloaded on all new computers (as far as I know - at least in the US) and are on the restore disks that come with the new system - did your new system come with Leopard preinstalled or did you upgrade it after you got the system? If it came preinstalled then iPhoto should be there - if you did an erase and install to upgrade then you need to load iPhoto and the rest of the iLife applications from the original install disks (use the custom install - install bundled software optin)

Photoshop and iPhoto will not open with Leopard

I can not open Photoshop or iPhoto with Leopard. I have Photoshop 7, this is a huge problem, need Photoshop ASAP, can anyone help?

Multiple issues with Leopard (Network, Pages, iPhoto, iTunes, General)

It's been so much fun.
I have 3 macs right now, per my profile.
I started updating the G4 because it's the experimental system, the MacPro is production, and the MacBook is for the kids and for me to wander the domain and still be productive. These Macs and some other things sit behind a Linux/iptables firewall.
1st issue: After updating the G4 certain web sites have been inaccessible, including just about any apple sites behind SSL, ADC, iTunes Music Store, iPhoto Store (calendars, books), Network Solutions, Newegg, etc. However, as of 10.4.11 on the other 2 Macs, 10.5.1 and 10.4.11 had parity, or close to it, in networking.
2nd issue: The other problem I had right off the bat was remote printing to the MacPro which has an Epson Stylus Photo printer hooked up. At the time this was first noticed, the MacPro was 10.4.11 and the computer I was attempting to print from was 10.5.1. I erroneously thought that had to do with the disparity on OS versions. Not so. The result of trying to print anything to the remote printer is the immediate cratering of the app you're printing from, Safari, Pages, Firefox, Preview. I can reproduce this at will.
3rd issue: Straight from the previous 2 issues, I can't log any problem reports. This is frustrating.
I initially didn't see the problems that I saw a lot of people registering on here, other than the ones I noted above, and as far as the networking thing went, 10.4.11 and 10.5.1 were equally cr*y. So, I bit the bullet and upgraded several things, iLife '08 (which I couldn't adequately check out on the G4), iWork '08 which I hadn't had any problems with, and Leopard on the remain 2 macs.
Issue 1 was, as expected, no better or worse, and more and more talked about on these discussions. I thing that helped, notably to allow me to finally login to the discussions, rather than just read them, was:
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.pathmtudiscovery=0
Thanks to mreckhof for that little gem
This helped with the login here, but didn't help with anything else. And in retrospect, 10.5.1 is much worse then 10.4.1 as far as the networking goes. When/if I expose the mac by putting it outside the firewall, it's actually much much worse than it used to be. There are several places where any of the Macs directly connected to the internet are completely useless for talking to websites, DNS, and other things. The web site problem is that more than a handful don't load. Most of these make heavy use of akamai, as apple does. The Linux Firewall and exposed Linux desktops don't have this problem.
Right now, I can't buy or use a few of the bought things from iTunes Music Store. I could not order calendars from iPhoto, which shot holes in several of our holiday gifts to friends and relatives. I can't purchase or update several things with other online vendors from the mac, where I would usually do such things. There is a veritable litany of things, real monetary that I also can't do to earn money as well now that we've upgraded, but I'll get to that.
Issue 2 and issue 3 were unchanged.
4th Issue: iPhoto lost, on import, several photos and movies. This happened just recently. Currently the iPhoto library has around 30,000 photos and videos in it spanning the last several years. it's around 500GB. The problem was that after the import was "done" and it was cleaning off the memory card, it crashed. The imported items were not successfully imported, that I can find, and the memory card was successfully cleaned off. The images and movies appear to be lost completely. The problem is that we derive some of our income from the picture. There backed up in 2 different ways, but we have to be able to trust that they'll arrive safely for the backup to work. I'm rethinking that. I can't trust I photo so memory cards are filling up.
But I thought we still could do things with iPhoto with what is there. Woe is me.
Issue 5: Using Pages 3.0.1, and dragging photos from iPhoto to it, something that has brought good success in the past, and produced some great results, stopped working reliably, in a big way.
The document in question is about 80 pages long and contains a couple hundred photos, dragged and dropped from iPhoto. On or around page 62, Pages started throwing up a "Image file ****.jpg is corrupt and cannot be used, all other photos already imported blah, blah, blah." I'm paraphrasing at the moment because 1) Pages crashes, when you're lucky, soon after this and 2) when you're not lucky, the whole computer freezes in a non-recoverable way. The system log is littered with:

There were around 100 instance of the above error in at the same timestamp.
I'm not sure where it's trying to malloc this from, but the machine has 8GB of physical ram and plenty of space for swap. It normally reports 34GB of VM and when pages is started, 6+GB of real ram is available to it.
And the image isn't corrupt. I'm able to start a fresh document up and put a few pictures into it.
I am unable to cut and paste, use the media browser or otherwise to add more than an image at a time into the document. The same is, I still have the old pages around, and we had done a very similar thing with it, several times, but this one was started with 3.0.1 and saved as a 3.0.1 document. The amount of time put into it, at this point, is non-trivial.
When things go very badly, iPhoto and Pages conspire together to lock the computer up wholly and completely. I'm unable to kill Pages, at all, from the command line. I have been able to kill iPhoto from the command line, but it doesn't change anything, and I really hate to do it. If I issue a shutdown from the command line, it doesn't something is preventing us from getting a clean shutdown.
And I've had varying degrees of success registering my products, but they're all recent purchases and I've got serial numbers that appear to all them to work even if I'm unable to send in the registration over the internet. They're family versions.
Issue 6: Now that frequent hard restarts, I have mds and mdworker tacking up several CPUs on restart for an extended period of time. I've never been able to get any clarification on what these 2 processes do, but they keep my from doing anything useful for a good long period of time. Looking at the process listing, they appear to be in the MetaDataService suite of OSX apps, and that's about all I've been able to determine looking at man pages and several searches of apple sites.
Issue 7: Only on the G4 Mac, periodically I'll get the gray overlay of "You must restart your computer now." The thing is, things still appear to work somewhat, and what I've been able to see is that one of the CPUs appears to be offline in the activity monitor, which I always have up. I'm able to quit cleanly, AFAIK, out of most of the things I have running, but can't issue a normal shutdown, always requires hard reset (power button for 8 seconds or whatever the timeframe). spindump appears to be the culprit, or instigator. The CPU going offline is troubling. Not sure if I have a CPU going bad or a software problem with an app. The logs are riddled with all kinds of errors, but nothing indicative of what the problem is in fact.
This probably won't all post, and I don't expect everyone to take a stab at any and all of the issues. Just a less than gruntled user, and long time supporter, less than impressed lately. The features are big sellers and instigated a lot of the upgrade. For instance, I love spaces, some of the new themes in iDVD, and a lot of other things. I could do without the instability.

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

"older" iPhoto version can't work with Leopard 10.5.3

Leopard newby, just upgraded from Tiger. I see that my previous iPhoto version doesn't work with Leopard. Is this Apple's way to make me pay $79 for iLife, or is there a free iPhoto version available that works with Leopard?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Any version of iPhoto after v2 works with 10.5. That's v4,v5, v6, v7. All of them.
You can purchase the latest version from Apple, you can search amazon or ebay for an earlier version.
The only way to get a free version of iPhoto is to get a new Mac. The iLife suite comes free with everyone.
I don't think it's "Apple's way to make me pay $79 for iLife", but it might illustrate the importance of checking these things before you upgrade.
And, of course, you don't have to use iPhoto. There are alternatives: search on MacUpdate

Updating FREE version of iPhoto to work with Leopard?

Recently upgraded our iBook G4 to Leopard. Now, the System says iPhoto 2.04 (free version) won't work with Leopard. None of the iPhoto upgrades avalable (4, 5, 6) work as upgrades. In the iPhoto discussion, others said the only option is to PAY for iLife '08.
Is that true? I have iPhoto v5.04 on my PB G4, and it works under Leopard. I never purchased iLife.
Suggestions, please

I don't know for sure about iPhoto 2's (in)compatibility with Leopard, but if that part is true, then you will have to pay for the upgrade.
iPhoto 2 is over five years old. Besides the fact that the current version is WAY more advanced, I have to say that any software that only makes you pay for an upgrade one time in a period of almost six years is a tremendous bargain.

IPhoto 5.0.4 with Leopard 10.5.x?

Does iPhoto v.5.0.4 run in Mac OS 10.5.8?
I'm going to upgrade our eMac to 10.5 with iPhoto 5.0.4 and I don't know if it will run in Leopard. iPhoto for Panther (v.2.0.1) got busted with Leopard upgrade.
If no, what to do?
-Mike

Yes iPhoto 5 is fine with Leopard - although there are lots of reasons to go ahead and upgrade to iLife '09 with iPhoto '09 - but it is not necessary

Thanks for reading this post and I look forward to any replies.

same problem here.
coincidentally or not, i noticed lack of access to iPhoto after installing Leopard on G4 Powerbook. i simply get "The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly" warning, and am asked to Relaunch, which yields the same message.
Get Info tells me it's Version 2.0.1 of iPhoto.
access to iPhoto library is also blocked, as when trying to change Desktop photo through System Preference. names of albums and folders in iPhoto appear to the list on the left, but icons to the left of the album names, and the albums themselves, are empty.
no such problem on iMac G5 with Leopard. don't know version of iPhoto there.

IPhoto install NOT included with Leopard

Here's the scenario: Purchased an iMac 24" (2.8GHhz) a couple of weeks ago. Got it home and fired it up only to be confronted with Tiger as an OS. There were three Leopard Install Discs provided with the machine so (after much head scratching as to which method of install to choose) I did a clean install. All fine, except it was 10.5.0 and needed lots and lots of Software Updates to get up to speed.
At the same time (in the Mac Store Milton Keynes, UK) I purchased a separate copy of Leopard to bring my G4 17" Laptop in line with the shiny new iMac. I was running Tiger 10.4.9 on the lappy. I ran Carbon Copy Clone (just in case) on the laptop before doing a clean install of Leopard 10.5.1 from the purchased disc.
All pretty straightforward so far.
My main reason for upgrading the laptop was to ensure both machines could run iPhoto 08 (or whatever the latest number is).
When I plugged in (to the iMac) my external Lacie Rugged drive, which holds my Tiger iPhoto Library, Leopard told me that if I opened this in iPhoto 08 I would no longer be able to access it through any earlier versions - thanks Apple!
So, you can imagine my surprise when, after a successful install on the laptop, I came to launch iPhoto only to find it isn't there. A quick look at the (most excellent) Mac Forums provided me with the answer - iLife 08 and it's various components are NOT included with Leopard - thanks again Apple.
A ha, I thought. I'll simply use the 'Everything Else' discs that came with the iMac and install iLife from there.
Pop in the disc, choose 'Install other components' packet... Nope - Message come up - Cannot install this software on this computer. Oops.
Latest thought is (and this eventually leads to the question, bear with me)...
On the Laptop - Go back to the original Tiger install discs and see if there's an option to install iLife 06 components only. Then go back to the Leopard Discs and see if they will then allow for an upgrade rather than an install from scratch.
Question really is, I guess, does anyone else have a suggestion? Other than go out and buy a copy of iLife 08! Just trying not to overspend on Apple products that surely should be included in the Leopard install. I don't recall EVER having to pay for additional Apple software through any of the upgrade paths in the past.

Hi there
I used Pacifist OSX package extractor. Take the Leo install disc that came with your new Mac, install Pacifist on the computer you want iphoto installed and extract iphoto. I quote from the manufacturers (charlessoft.com) website:
"Pacifist is an essential utility that allows you to extract certain files from Apple's bundled installer packages. For exmaple, if you need to reinstall iDVD, the only Apple-sanctioned choice is to restore your entire system. Using Pacifist, you can extract just the iDVD application.
Even if you think you'll never use it, you should download Pacifist - I guarantee that someday, someway, you'll want to get at just one file out of an installation bundle. As soon as you do, register Pacifist, as it will have just easily paid for itself in time saved!"
I did it that way and it worked flawlessly. Hope this helps.

Using iphoto with iphoto library on external hard drive

My Imac is running snow leopard with ilife '11. I have imported way too many photos into Iphoto which is really slowing it down. I'd like to put all of my photos on an external hard drive and use that as my iphoto library--which should be possible, as I gather from reading various other related posts. Another reason to put it on an external drive is so that I can use my new macbook air to edit/organize while on the go.
1. How do I set up my Iphoto library on an external hard drive?
2. How do I make sure that all future photos go to the library on that external hard drive?
3. How do I run Iphoto with the library on an external hard drive?
THANK YOU for your help!

Hello. I just transferred my iPhoto library to a Western Digital My Book for Mac external hard drive. Do you know if I needed to format this drive even though it says it's for Mac. I did not format it and there were not any instructions with the drive that said I needed to do it. The transfer seems to have worked ok but my backups from Time Machine onto Time Capsule are inconsistent. I already posed a question regarding this problem but I noticed this message regarding formating the external disk and I wonder if that is causing the problem. Thanks.

RAW support in iPhoto 8/Leopard

Does anyone know if Apple added support for any new digital cameras in iPhoto 8/Leopard? I'm planning on buying an Olympus E-410 soon and would like to know if iPhoto will understand and display the RAW files it produces.
Does anyone have experience with this, or at least know of an up-to-date list of supported devices?
- Hal -

Haha. Just where the address says it was!
Seriously, a little poking and prodding turns up a lot of stuff. Some basic searching, looking in the Knowledgebase, reading online reviews...

Import iPhoto6 library (Panther) to iPhoto 8 (Leopard)

Hello -
Sorry if this is a redundant posting, I've searched through the forum and am still not clear how to achieve the following:
I previously used iPhoto 6 on my iMac with Panther and the photo library was kept entirely on an external hard drive. I just purchased a Macbook Pro with Leopard and want to import my iPhoto 6 library into iPhoto 8 and move all of the photos from my external drive onto the Macbook Pro's hard drive. Reason is that my iMac ran out of space but now I have plenty of room on my MBP hard drive. One important detail may be that I can no longer boot up my iMac as I have done a very stupid thing and fried the power supply. However I can mount the iMac drive via USB to my Macbook Pro to transfer any files necessary.
Thank you in advance!

are there any other files I need to copy from my old iMac drive like the .plist or things like that?
No - the iPhoto library has all the data and the install did everything else
And when you say copy the iPhoto Library, you literally mean, the entire library including all the folders with the photos from my external hard drive?
Yes - you want the entire iPhoto library in you pictures folder - when you launch iPhoto it will upgrade the old library to the new format - then import your newer photos (It sounds likeyou have them ready for that - if you did not you should export them from your new iPhoto library BEFORE you overwrite it with your old one)
However, this led me to see one big difference in the iPhoto 8 Picture Folder and the iPhoto 6 Photo Library folder - namely, there are no folders in the Picture folder with the actual photos. There's only one file, called Photo Library and when you click on that, it opens iPhoto 8. So this begs the question, where are the photo files stored in Leopard?
The photos are all in the iPhoto Library -- you can inspect the contents by right clicking (control click on a one button mouse) and select show package contents -- BUT do NOT change anything in the package or you risk losing everything.
For more complete information on the package and how to access it see TD's post here - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1329949&tstart=15

IPhoto 08, Leopard and multiple users

I just installed Leopard. Under Tiger, I have tried unsuccesfully to share my IPhoto library with other users on my computer. In particular, I tried article 304890: "iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users". Has anything changed with Leopard ?
Thank you so much.
Cesco

Many people using the Shared Folder find that they have permissions issues which mean that they 'other' user can't see some part of the Library. Therefore, if you want to share the Library in that way it's best moved to an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore ownership and permissions.
can both users add photos from their iPhones via iPhoto on their respective accounts and have the new photos show up on the other users iPhoto app?
Yes.
would the newly added photos sharing be automaticall be set to the folder sharing settings? ie, view and edit for both users?
Yes.
if i edit the photos with say photoshop, will the changes show up in iphoto?
If you set this up corrrectly - 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.
You will need to do this in both accounts.
would timemachine back the data up automatically?
TM can be set to back up externals. There are other options too, of course.
when I upgrade to a new computer will everything work the same.
Yes. Just plug in the extenal and point iPhoto at the external from the new machine.

Canon PowerShot SD1100IS / iPhoto / Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to snow leopard, I've noticed the computer reacts and works a lot different with my Canon cameras than the previous OSX. I use to just plug it in, hit play, and iPhoto opened ready to import all photos. Now, it launches iPhoto, but doesn't mount the camera so doesn't import the photos. I tried several times and the last time I just let it sit there for like 5 minutes, all of sudden iphoto recognized it. Then the import started, and it appeared to import as normal (with some pictures it got stuck on a few times). Is this a bug that needs to be fixed? Is there something I can do? It seems to be snow leopard related.

I wanted to comment on this also. I am having trouble with Snow Lepard adn iphoto.. I have a Kodak camera and I can't dowload to iphoto. It starts to download, asks about duplicates, gets almost done and then just hangs. I get out of it, photos not in iphot but are in my library. I try to upload them form the library and it tells me the pictures are corrupted. I never had this problem with leopard. just download and go!!
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do? Snow Leopard/iphoto does not work correctly..
thanks
