IPhoto working

I installed iLife 06 after a thorough backup and all is fine.
iPhoto and it's new services are working as advertised as are iDVD, iMovie and iWeb.
iPhoto is brisk and no lost photos or albums. Just letting people know that for some of us things went smoothly with the new software.

Move your iPhoto library folder to the desktop. Open up iPhoto and allow it to create a new (empty) library. Take a few throwaway shots with your camera and import them. Test iPhoto for slowness. If it's still slow, it's not your library. If it functions well, we'll address your library. Post back and we'll go from there.
When you're finished testing, trash the new library and move the old one back where it was.

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

In my broken
NyxAudioAnalysis.framework file on the new iMac Yosemite
I only had a file called headers and it was broken.
I copied the
NyxAudioAnalysis.framework file
(which had 3 files like your example above.)
from my old mac and then after making a copy of the broken one 'just in case' I inserted the copy from my old mac and iPhoto worked.

Thanks tb

Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install iphoto 9.2.3 update...it says it has successfully updated - then on opening says: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X.

I have tried VERY unsuccessfully to install the new iphoto 9.2.3 update.
I have installed it several times both from the appstore and from Apple Support downloads...it says it has 'successfully updated' - then on opening iphoto, a dialogue box pops up and says:
iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
Insane...I have all my updates including Lion 10.7.3 why does APPLE KEEP SENDING BETAS AS A REAL PRODUCT?
Does anyone know how to copy over a backup from a twinned drive Backup? What files etc.
Thanks tons...

Thanks Terence,
I did get it working finally...and your last advice was what I needed.
I am embarassed that I was an early adopter...SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER and read the problems before creating some for myself.
This was an excercise in frustration, because of the obtuse division between the appstore and Apple Support downloads... it was a bit of a circuitous route...strange that with all the security reciepts and tracking that Apple goes to to prevent piracy... which Steve by his own admission used to build Apple...
Why aren't the server scripts smart enough to say…”HEY DUMMY you can't use this download because you purchased the last iPhoto upgrade from the appstore...and… DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME and precious data BUDGET downloading this gargantuan file which will eat 20% of your expensive 5Gb monthly data allotment!!!…and NOT WORK…only pretend to…and then foul your system….kill your productivity and turn your hair whiter…even worse than LION did.
I am just so antagonized by the inept scripts in recent installations that don't do a diagnostic before allowing installation that is going to corrupt things...I had less effort and frustration when I ran my ATARI with a MAC emulator...rarely lost any productivity to nonsense.
I AM TIRED OF BETAs dressed as products...designed and rushed out for Apple toys that once were tools of the creative trade...COREL...may still have a chance at a comeback if Apple keeps pumping out toys instead of the venerable tools we once adored as income enhancers.

Iphoto will not open I am asked to check with developer that iphoto works with this version of OS x. I have Mountain Lion OS X I have followed all the steps recomended by T Devlin in a previous discussionand reinstalle ILife but to no avail

To reinstall iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the:
HD/Library/Receipts folder (10.5 and earlier)
or from the /var/db/receipts/ folder (10.6) .
or from the /private/var/db/receipts folder (10.7 or later)
Then install iPhoto from the source it came from originally.

Explanation of how Iphoto works.

Can someone please explain to me how iPhoto works as far as organizing photos and duplicating/converting photos. I have a bunch of photos in my photo file, and I would like to keep them all in one place (via iPhoto), but when I have experimented with it, Ive knowticed that dragging photos into iphoto, doesnt move the file at all, it just duplicates it, and then hides the duplication?, it also changes the image into a smaller file and creates "thumbnails???" I'm so confused. Can someone tell me what im supposed to do.

Hi Derek,
Here is some more info to add to PhillyPhans great answer.
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database (the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder) and your hard drive ONLY after you empty iPhoto's trash. (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder. You can also drag a folder of photos into an empty space in the source column and a new roll and album will be created at the smae time for those images in the folder. The album will have the same name as the folder you dragged into the source column.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
--You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
--You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose
For iPhoto 5--"when double clicking on
photo" ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
For iPhoto 6 (from the Apple Help Menu)-Have you ever used PS as the external editor set up within iPhoto Prefs?
From the iPhoto Help menu;
"Choosing what happens when you click the Edit button
When you want to edit a photo, you can have the photo open in iPhoto's edit view, in a separate window, in full-screen view, or in another application.
To choose a preference:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences.
Click General at the top of the Preferences window.
Under Edit Photo, select one of the following options:
"In main window" opens the photo in the main viewing area.
"In separate window" opens the photo in a separate window.
"Using full screen" opens the photo in full-screen view.
"In application" opens the photo in another application you choose.
To open a photo in its own window when "Main window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
To open a photo in edit view when "Separate window" is selected, press the Option key when double-clicking the photo.
Note: Any video clip you imported into iPhoto will always open in QuickTime Player when you double-click it."
And...
"Editing photos in another application
You can do many editing tasks in iPhoto, such as rotating and cropping a photo, changing a color photo to black and white, adjusting exposure and contrast, and reducing red-eye. If you want to make other changes to a photo, you can open it in another image-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop.
To edit photos in another application:
Set your preferences to open photos in another application when you double-click them or click the Edit button. (See Related Topics below.)
Double-click the photo to open it in the application.
Edit the photo and save it using the same name and file format.
The changes you made to the photo will be visible when you return to iPhoto.
IMPORTANT: When you double-click a RAW-format photo, iPhoto creates a copy of the photo in JPEG format, which opens in the other application. To edit the photo in its original RAW format, drag the photo from the iPhoto window to the Finder, and then use the other application to open it. (If you previously used iPhoto to edit the RAW photo, select the photo and choose Photos > Revert to Original before dragging it to the Finder. This way, you can edit the photo using its RAW data in the other application.) If you want to import the photo back into iPhoto, you must first save it as a JPEG or TIFF file."
--Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
--Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
-The one option you will not find within iPhoto is to resize photos. iPhoto wants you to keep all full size images within iPhoto to give you the best size for printing or using for other applications. You can however go to Share>export (for iPhoto 5) or File>export (for iPhoto 6) and choose the naming scheme, input the dimensions and export to the desktop to use for uploading to a web space or emailing.
--to email a photo set up your email client in iPhoto Preferences. Once done, just select a photo/photos and hit the email icon in the toolbar.
If you use a web based email, then you need to export the photo to the desktop and upload it from there.
Two Apple kbs for you to read

Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
For more help and information you can go to the Help menu wiithin iPhoto and input your search term in the search bar, then hit the "enter" key on the keyboard or just browse through the topics and categories.

Can someone help me figure out how to get my iphoto open again. It says...Error message: "Iphoto can't be open because of a problem. " Message says, "Check with developer to make sure Iphoto works with this version of Mac OS x. Wouldn't update Iphoto when my husband was doing updates..

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Does iPhoto Work With TIFF?

I have a camera that produces RAW files but Aperture does not support it. I find it difficult not to be angry at Apple for designing Aperture in such a way that they are slow to include any new cameras (and ignore quite a few of them. (eg the very popular Olympus Pen E-P1 was introduced in July. Other image editors like Lightroom updated to support the camera months ago but Aperture ignores it. Same with my camera (Panasonic GH1) so even though I own Aperture I have to abandon it and use Lightroom or Silkypix. I wionh't use Aperture again and won't upgrade even if they support my camera eventually but I do like iPhoto for the books and calendars.
I can export from Silkypix TIFF versions of my photos. Does iPhoto work well with those TIFF images or should I convert them to JPEG for making books, calendars etc?

Old Toad wrote:
Don't blame Aperture and Apple for those proprietary RAW formats that camera makers insist on using and change for each new camera.
The ignoring is being done by the camera manufactures in not getting the information out to the software people in a timely manner before the camera is introduced to the buying public. It takes time for Apple to get the information from the camera manufacturers and develop built in compatibility for the new formats.
Oh, really?? Then why is it that Lightroom and virtually every other Raw Conversion software have support for for cameras like the Olympus E-P1 and the Panasonic G1, GH1 and GF1 since just after the cameras were released while Aperture not only has no support but does not give a road map as to when support will be given. There are some cameras by well known names not supported by Aperture 3 years after their introduction.
Apple has a system with Aperture where Raw Conversion seems to happen at the OS level and the addition of support for new cameras only happens with new OS updates. And there are many cameras with Raw files which do seem to be ignored by Apple. We like to think of Apple as being a leader in computer and software development but with Aperture they seem to be behind everyone else in camera support. If this continues then Aperture will continue to lose ground to Adobe and others.

What version of iphoto works with os x mavericks?

What version of iphoto works with os x maverick?

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto9.5.1.

How does iPhoto work? What are the guts?

I am a recent switcher from Windows and have been running OSX since the black MacBooks have come out. I used and loved Picasa on windows for pics. I have been using iPhoto and have run into problems.
I am trying to get my head around just how iPhoto works. I am interested in how iPhoto imports, stores and works with photo libraries and photos. It seems extremely convoluted to me. Here is an example.
In my 'Pictures' folder, I have folders: 'Personal 2000' , 'Personal 2001' , 'Personal 2002' , etc, etc
- I open iPhoto and choose 'Import to Library...' I choose to import a single folder from 'Personal 2002' titled 'xmas'
- I now have in that same 'Pictures' folder a folder called: 'iPhoto Library'
- in the 'iPhoto Library' folder are now folders called:
- 'Data'
- 'Modified'
- 'Originals'
- In each of these new folders (data, modified, originals) are now folders with just years
-'2002'
- and then in '2002' in each of those folders there is a folder called 'xmas'
- and in each xmas folder there are now four copies of my original photo
So I have gone from one original photo to four photo in four different places. This is crazy! I am trying to get my head around things and understand how to work with iPhoto and organize things but I could use some help.
Please help me understand. Does the book iPhoto 6 the missing manual help explain????

Mike
The point of iPhoto is that it does the file management for you.
It's a database, with built in image viewer and lightweight editing. The database is designed (like all databases) so that you interact with the data via the application, not the Finder.
So in your iPhoto Library Folder you will find various files that make up the Library, plus three Folders.
Originals: This contains the photos as they were downloaded from your camera (or scanner)
Modified: This contains the photos that you have edited or altered in any way - fixed red-eye, rotated, whatever. This allows you to use the Photos -> Revert To Originall command - which allows you to dump changes that you may not like.
The data folder contains the thumbnails that the app uses to display the pics in the iPhoto WIndow . SO you can see there is no actual duplication, but apparently much!
If you use iPhoto to do the file management then your folders become irrelevant, and once your content that the photos are safe in iPhoto you can trash them.
You can keep your own folders and do your own file management (go Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck Importing - Copy Files to iPhoto Library Folder ...) and then iPhoto will leave your file structure alone, However it will still make the data and Modifieds folders.
Through the iPhoto WIndow you can do everything you need to do with the photos. You can make slide shows and albums, keyword for fast searching, make smart self-updating albums, effortlessly export the files. Evne just drag and drop one to the desktop. In all caes iPhoto works with a COPY of the file, so that your original remains safe and sound. And of course, you can completlely recreate your folder organisation in the iPhoto WIndow .
I hope that's clear, if you have further questions feel free to ask more.

I just did update of software and i lost all of my picture and songs from itune which is un usual .could any one tell me how could i get iphoto working again?

What did you update with what? Are we talking a computer? A device like an iPhone? You updated iTunes? You updated the operating system?
If you updated the iOS on a device, I believe it warns you it will erase the device and you should make a backup first. Restore from the backup.
iPhoto is an application pretty much separate from iTunes. There is an iPhoto forum if you are having problems with that application.

Has Apple morphed into Microsoft? Why wouldn't iPhoto work on a 2 year old Mac after loading Mavericks?

Has Apple morphed into Microsoft? Shouldn't iPhoto work on a 2 year old desktop after installing Mavericks?

It still does, just not the version you have. Go to the App Store and upgrade it. The upgrade should be free.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

Will iphoto work

will iphoto work after update to Mountai Lion?

It depends of the iPhoto version you have. Open iPhoto menu > About iPhoto and copy Version here. At least, iPhoto '09 (iPhoto 8.x.x) and '11 (iPhoto 9.x.x) works with Mountain Lion, so if you have an older version, I recommend you to purchase iPhoto '11 in the App Store
