Is iPhoto 11 working ok with Photostream

Just bought an iPhone 4S. Love the photostream option, but I have an old version of iPhoto on my Mac desktop computer. (iPhoto 8.1.2). I need to buy either iPhoto 9 or iPhoto 11. Using OS 10.7.2 on the desktop computer.
I had rather buy iPhoto 11 (or more likely iLife 11), but I read a lot of post about problems with iPhoto 11 and photostream back in the Oct, Nov 2011 forums. I'm not seeing anything about it in 2012. Does anybody know if the problems have been fixed? Is anybody using iPhoto 11 successfully with photostream.
thanks

iPhoto 9 is iPhoto 11. They are one in the same.
Remember that only those with problems are posting here. There are millions of users who are not having problems who do not post here. So upgrade to iLIfe 11 and get the latest iApps.
NOTE: If you use iWeb or iDVD you should purchase the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store while supplies last as those two application have been discontinued by Apple. Those two apps are not offered thru the App Store.

Does iPhoto 11 works together with a NAS?

Hi folks,
does anybody know, if iPhoto 11 works together with a NAS, or does the iPhoto library still needs a MAC journaled HardDisk format?
Kind regards,
Michael

I'm going to say no, none of my libraries have worked over a network very well or at all (lightroom totally blocks it). depending on your format (RAW, TIFF, JPEG), a NAS isn't fast enough to work from usually, unless you have apple supported hardware running fibre channel.
best bet is to get a decent external drive & use the fastest interface you can (I use firewire 800). another option is to have or do it yourself hard drive upgrade.
I may try this anyway, my copy is to be delivered tonight.

Mail and iPhoto not working well with Mountain Lion..

Is it true that Mountain Lion has been a big disappointment?
I am helping a friend with his computer and what it is doing is NOT normal. He has Mountain Lion, I have read not very nice reviews. Mail and iPhoto are not comunicating properly; 'sleep mode' takes forever and other small bugs that I am not used to having with a Mac. Any advice? Thanks!

Any advice?
Sure. Here's some advice. If you have a question ask it. Give detail. Explain what the problem or issue actually is. Don't editorialise, just ask the question.

Does 10.7.5 work well with aperture?

Does aperture work well with a Mac mini, Lion 10.7.5? was there an initial problem that has been solved? I was about to down load it when I read of some real problems. I have never used aperture. But it seemed like a good application to use with iphoto.

Aperture works well with Lion 10.7.5. and it will offer you many advanced features compared to iPhoto.
If you read about problems, they are usually caused by problems on the particular systems running the applications.
I'd check the hardware requirements. How much RAM does your Mac MIni have? Aperture is more efficient with plenty of memory. You should have at least 4GB of memory, more would be better.
Have you looked at the Tutorials at the Aperture Support page? Look at the information there to see, if you would like to work with Aperture, maybe try it out at your local Apple Store?

I have an iPhone 4S running software 5.1 (9B179) and cannot sync the photos in PhotoStream with iPhoto '11 v 9.2.1 (628). There's no option to update iPhoto and no option of PhotoStream (which is enabled on my phone). Can anyone help?

Thanks, Peter.
The "link related" and "text related" crashes were what I interpretted here, too, though I'm at a loss on how to proceed given that this is a fresh system and applications. This is happening with multiple InDesign projects in a design office environment where many others work on the same files and none of the other computers are having problems with these files. I've removed the same files listed (thank you for those) before and did so effectively with creating the new user account to test with, but it had no effect. I just tried again though, as these files could easily have becone corrupt again if they were being written to when InDesign crashed. Will let you know if that makes any difference. I've also gone through and completely cleaned out the fonts again and once more cleared the font caches. If need be I'll reboot this system into safe mode and try that way.
Best,
Mike

Why is photostream not working together with my macbook and iphone?

Photostream is not working togther with my macbook and iphone. How can I sync it?

Has it ever worked?
If you recently turned on photo stream on the mac and iphone, then (on the iphone) only new photos are included in photo stream, old ones are not.
But syncing to your mac (if the photos originate from the iphone) is critical. That's how you store photos (they can easily disappear on the iphone due to many "issues" that can occur, and relying on an icloud backup is not safe - to many users have lost some/all their photos when doing a restore.
So be sure to begin by doing a sync to the mac using itunes/iphoto with a USB cable.

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I am told that the version I have(9.3), is not compatible with the os. But it came with it when I upgraded. What do I have to do to get an iPhoto that works with 10.9.5? TIA

I just upgraded to os 10.9.5 on my 15 " macbook pro from os 10.7.5. When I try to open iPhoto, I get the message that it is not compatible with the os. How can that be??? It came with the upgrade. It says the version of iPhoto is 9.3. How do I get an iPhoto that works with os 10.9.5? TIA

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto 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 iPhoto 9.5.1

How do I get Photos - iPhotos to work with my iPhone

I have a 2 month old Mac Mini, and noticed a system upgrade available 10.10.3 - I always download all that are offered. 10.10.3 loaded, and I proceeded to open iTunes and iPhoto and plug in my iPhone, All went well until I noticed PHOTOS I opened it to see what it was and was asked to selected a library as it seemed the only option on offer I did and found a mass of over 3500 photos in folders that I did not totally recognise, including one of Face photos. It was only then that I noticed a NO ENTRY SIGN on iPhotos. Thanks to some Mac Forum advice I have now been able to install a new iPhotos 9.6.1 to replace this but I now have a big problem that I cannot edit the photos on my iPad or iPhone.
I have 10.10.3 installed with iPhoto-9.6.1 - PHOTOS-1 - iTunes-12.1.2.27 & iOS-8.3 on the iPhone & iPad.
I Plug the iPhone into the Mac, iTunes can see it, click the camera icon I see a list of 30+ folders - 2 are ticked which are MC, it has 19 photos in it and PP, it has 1 photo in it - which is correct for the iPhone.
In PHOTOS when I plug in the iPhone, a new command appears in the top bar ‘IMPORT’ click on that and the iPhone icon shows on the left side with a box to tick - ‘open this device’ - click it and the message is ‘NO PHOTOS’. Under Albums I find the same 30+ listed with MC containing 50 photos & PP with 33.
In iPhoto I plug in the iPhone & it is recognised with a message on the right , LOADING… and there it stays STUCK but not crashed. Down the left side is listed the same 30+ albums, MC with 50 photos & PP with 33.
Question - how do I get Photos/iPhoto/iTunes/to communicate with my iPhone/iPad, to update the photo albums as they did before 10.10.3 & Photos were introduced to my system???? Your help please

Thanks for your help III
BUT: I really don't get it! About ten days ago or so my iPhone 4s was suddenly able to hold on to the AirPort Express network.
But then yesterday all of a sudden the problem was back again!!! I didn't do ANYTHING! It was just back out of nowhere!
Wi-Fi connection on my iPhone came on... and off... and on... and so on, while my MacBook was working perfectly fine with the network!
So I reset the whole thing again on my MacBook with the AirPort utility, I reset the AirPort Express and I reset my iPhone... still not working... Honestly this freaks me out. Especially because it worked for more than a week and as I said I did not change a thing!!!
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem other then reset everything? Or is there an explanation around for this occurence???
Thanks for your Help!

I took Lion off my Macbook Pro and put Snow Leopard back on and now I can't access Mail or iPhoto. How do I get Mail and iPhoto to work with the Snow Leopard I just put back on?

Hi. I was having slowness problems with my Macbook Pro and thought I would re-install Lion but put Snow Leopard back on by mistake. I bought the computer used with Lion on it and don't have access to the USB drive or a username/password to reinstall Lion. Now I can't access Mail or iPhoto since I put Snow Leopard on.
Is there a way to get my Mail and iPhoto working again with Snow Leopard or do I have to "re-upgrade" to Lion?
Thanks!
Steve

You can't. When you converted those libraries to Lion's format, you lost the ability to go backwards. Unless you saved a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous SL installation, you're up the proverbial creek w/o a paddle.

Can't get iphoto to work after tampering with library in Finder

I think I made a big mistake when I tampered with the iphoto library in Pictures in Finder.
Now I can't get iphoto to work. All the pictures are gone in iphoto, the spaces are there but they are blank.
When I open iphoto it goes into the mode (little spinning wheel appears) where I have to "force quit".
Any supggestions on what I can do? Thanks.

The list that shows is just data files and such.
You can burn the entire iPhoto Library folder.
You can burn each Year folder or any other variation.
This is my workflow. The reason I do it the way I describe is because I want a backup of just the photos and video clips I take so I can copy them to a partition of my external drive and burn them to disc. On the other partition I backup my entire users folder
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
Here is info on backing up your photos:
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
You can also check out applications for disc spanning:
Disc-spanning software
DropDMG
Toast
Dragon Burn 4
BackityMac
Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.

IPhoto doesn`t work correctly with german "umlaut" (ä,ö,ü) in keywords

iPhoto doesn`t work correctly with german "umlaut" (ä,ö,ü) in keywords. They get to ä̈,ö̈, ü̈ when I write the keyword a second time. Can anybody tell me why. Thank you. Heinz

It apparently does not like non-standard English characters - use A-Z and 0-9 adn you should be OK
report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

I have reinstalled iPhoto and cant open my library. It says I have made alterations with a newer version of iPhoto, Have downloaded all software updates. What do I do to get iphoto app working?

I need help to get the iphoto apllication working. I reinstalled it from the iLife disc and upgraded the software as instructed but now it says I cannot open the library with this version of the iphoto app. Whats happening and how do I fix it?

I am on iLife 11 and 10.6 OS so it is all about 2 years old .. I followed one of you r other threads and have done the reinstall, then Cmd opt and gone for a rebuild from the library...it is now 'repairing the library database' and is stuck at 98%.... just letting it run -- does it take long? D

Am I Understanding Correctly That iPhoto Doesn't Work Well With Others?

After reading all the previous posts and topics on iPhoto vs. LR2 and such with RAW/NEF file formats, they simply don't work well with each other, right?
Basically, what I am trying to understand like a lot of others is that the way they read/write file info is dramatically different.
I just started using LR2 in the trial period and maybe I'm just not used to it yet but I still like using iPhoto for organizing my library of photos; it seems a lot easier with the folders and albums and such.
I also started using Nikon's RAW format NEF and working with them in iPhoto is a loser it seems.
Other than the obvious increase and control and options availabe for editing in LR, is iPhoto all that bad with working with NEF or RAW files? What is the downside to it?
Thanks for reading.
John

The problem is that Lightroom and iPhoto are essentially the type of application.
They are both Photo Managers, they both want to own and control the pics, to be your central “go to” app for whenever you want to get a photo. Obviously only one can be the primary application.
Lightroom - a rather more expensive application - is a professional app, aimed at the Pro Photographer. It’s a rather more powerful app in pretty much every way. For a point of comparison, Lightroom is closer to Apple’s Aperture rather than iPhoto.
On top of that, earlier versions of Lightroom had a bug in the way that it wrote metadata to the file and iPhoto was unable to import these files - tho’ I believe that’s been fixed since.
As to the RAW/NEF issue, There’s no point dealing in filetypes. Each model of camer produces a different RAW file, so what you need to tell us is the Model of Nikon you use. For instance iPhoto imports the NEFs from my D40 with no problems.
As to “working well with others” iPhoto integrates with just abou every app on your mac, make the pics available in every ‘Open...’ dialogue in the OS, with Mail app and an any image editor you care to mention.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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.
