IPhoto won't let me e-mail multiple photos anymore

Since I got Leopard I can no longer compose and e-mail multiple photos from iPhoto (mine is iPhoto 4).
I used to be able to highlight several photos in my iPhoto library, select 'e-mail' in the toolbar, and a newly composed e-mail would pop up with the selected photos embedded and ready to go to the recipient. However, since Leopard if I select more than one photo and hit 'e-mail,' I get the following error message:
"Mail got an error. Can't get paragraph 8 of content of outgoing message id 107157168. Invalid index."
An e-mail is composed, however, it is embedded with only the first selected photo and no others. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
this has been reported on these forums in the past and appears to be a bug
for now (and maybe for always - you are not likely to see any more updated to iPhoto 4) you need to either export the photos and add them to the e-mail or create the e-mail with the first photo and then drag the remaining ones to it

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 won't let me edit or view photos

For some reason I have been unable to open,view or edit any photos in my iPhoto library for weeks now. I can see the thumbnails but when I click on anything all I get is a blank screen. I have already tried restoring the library with iPhoto Library Manager but the same thing is still happening.
Does any one have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to fix the problem? I'm not very technical so the explanation needs to be as straight forward to follow as possible!
Thanks

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro, but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. now iphoto won't let me do anything to fix!!

i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high). please help!!

See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.
Good luck,

My ipad logs me out of every site if my screen turns off. It also clears all history. Even some of my email accounts won't let me send mail. Ever since the ios7 update, I am frustrated daily! How do I fix these problems?

IPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows

I have the latest version of iPhoto, I'm using Lion and everything is updated.
This happens often, not everytime, but iPhoto won't let me edit subtitles in slideshows. When I select the text and begin to type it just gives that annoying "you can't do that but I won't tell you why BEEP" that Apple have devised to irritate the **** out of people.
On this occasion I was using the Sliding Panels theme.
I have closed down iPhoto and restarted several times, but whatever I try it won't let me edit the text. I have read on other forums that this is not an uncommon bug, but not found a solution yet.
Anybody any idea how to fix this, please?
Thanks!
Bruce

As nobody has replied to my post yet I thought I would try something myself, and I seem to have found a work-around.
As I said, I only get this problem now and again - about one slideshow in six - so I changed the theme to one I know works, edited the subtitles as I want them to be, then changed back to the theme I had originally, and everything works perfectly!
You still can't re-edit these subtitles in this theme. You still get the annoying beep if you try.
Incidentaly Apple rather churlishly censored my comment, and replaced it with four asterisks, making it look as if I was using some dreadful expletive. I merely used the commonly used word for The Price of Darkness' home that starts with a letter "h".
Hope this post helps someone with the same problem.

Iphoto won't let me create a new album

Iphoto won't let me create a new album, every time I press the "plus" button it just makes a little pinging sound. I may have accidentally deleted the album section and I'm not sure how to get it back.

How about File -> New Album?

My mail application says "Mail quit unexpectantly". It won't let me open mail. How do i fix it?

My mail application says "Mail quit unexpectantly". It won't let me open mail. How do i fix it?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and rarely helpful.

Print Booklet won't let me because of multiple page sizes, even if I am using A4 for all the pages

Booklet won't let me because of multiple page sizes, even if I am using A4 for all the pages, this is the error message:
"The active document uses multiple page sizes Print Booklet works only with documents that use a consistent page size."
I am using Indesign CS6 (patches are up to date)
thank you
Cecilia

Do you already see this when starting the Print Booklet dialog or later when finally putting out? If you can see the dialog windows, will the preview show all pages in same size?

E mailing multiple photos

Hello,
I presume this will be an easy one for someone. How do I e mail multiple photos on the same e mail form iphoto.
If I create a new mail from mac mail and try to attach a photograph I don't seem to be able to browse my iphoto library.
If I compose a mail straight from iphoto i'm not sure how I add more than one photo to the e mail.
I want to e mail multiple photos perhaps from different events etc.
TIA

If I create a new mail from mac mail and try to attach a photograph I don't seem to be able to browse my iphoto library.
This is built into Mail in 10.5. You can use a media browser.
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
You can drag pics from the Browser to the Mail message window.
Regards
TD

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
What version of iPhoto do you have?

Iphoto won't let me drag photos to a directory

I've been using iphoto for years to import photos from my camera, now all the sudden it's changed its behavior. After importing the photos, I drag them to the directory of my choice in Finder, but now it won't let me. There's a little icon with a circle and diagonal line that follows the photo when I drag it, and it doesn't copy to the directory, it bounces back to iphoto. Anybody know why this is happening? I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 and iphoto 7.1.5. I've dug through the preferences and can't find anything relevant, and of course, "Help" is worthless.
Any help would be appreciated!
Rob

Well the reason it's not working is because iPhoto cannot find the files.
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.
As to the Workflow question
I don't want to use twice the disk space. I don't want a "Library". I just want the photos in the directories that I've created.
Then don't use iPhoto. Check out Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for the job you want.

IPhoto won't let me upgrade to 9.2.3 from 9.2.1

When I launch iPhoto, it says in the about box that it is 9.2.1. Occasionally, it reminds me there is an update for 9.2.3. I click OK to run software update, but software update tells me there are no updates available.
I then go to Apple's download page to download the 9.2.3 upgrade DMG. After downloading and trying to install, it says that I need iPhoto 9.1 or later for the upgrade to work.
Clearly, there is some problem where the Mac thinks I have an old version of iPhoto and won't let me upgrade, but iPhoto itself knows what version it is.
Searching on these forums, I haven't found anything like this. Ideas?

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Iphoto won't let me upload from iphone! "Unrecognisable"

HI!
Someone please help!
I was uploading my photos from my iphone and it wasn't working so I went into image capture. It worked fine and I copied and pasted them into iphoto...EXCEPT!!
It won't let me upload the last few months (approx 1,000 photos) of photos on my iphone.
Those last photos don't show up on image capture at all, like they don't exist, but they do. They are my most recent photos I've taken.
I can view these remaining ones on iphoto,(unlike image capture) but it won't let me upload them either. Says "Unrecognisable format" or something
Please help ~

10.05 GB available
Then you have the absolute bare minimum you need, and in reality, when taking temporary files into account, very likely much less than that.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

Iphoto won't let me drop photos to photostream?

In iPhoto I'm trying to drag a photo from one of my folders and drop it into photostream. It won't let me. Does anyone know why? Do I need to drag it from my library folder? (I'm not at my computer, this is why I'm asking, as I can't try it at this moment.)

yes, photostream is enabled and I have seen it function properly. What I'm trying to do is essentially the reverse. I'm at work (without my imac) trying to talk my husband into dropping the photo I need into photostream from my macs iphoto, so I can access it with my ipad2 at work. He is telling me it won't let it drop into the photostream folder....it just "falls off." He was trying to drag it from one of my folders in iPhoto and not from the "photos" folder. Wopuld this make a difference? It would be simple to ask him to simply drag from my photos folder, but I cant imagine he would ever be able to find it (orignal photo,) to be able to try it.
