Kodak Gallery iPhoto plug-in and iPhoto 6

Hi - Recently I downloaded an iPhoto plug-in from kodakgallery.com to more easily upload my photos to the Kodak Gallery website (now that Ofoto Express no longer works). When in iPhoto I select the photos I want to export, select file, select export, and select the kodak gallery tab. The next step is to link this with my kodak gallery account through the "set up" button. When I click the set up button I get the following pop-up window: "No Kodak Gallery Service. Kodak Gallery Service is not available for your location." I live in Rhode Island - is that the location they're referring to? Or is it the location in iPhoto? I have emailed & live chatted Kodak Customer service about this on several occasions, but they haven't had an explanation, and finally (today) said it's a problem with iPhoto. Any advice? Thank you!

Finally, after several months and about thirty emails, online chats and providing feedback, Kodak Gallery said they would tell the iPhoto plug-in developer about my issue (error message: Kodak Gallery Services not available for this location). I was delighted today to find that the plug-in finally works (as the last person also noted)! Thanks all for your comments - it was good to know others were having the same problem.

Unable to install Kodak Gallery Upload Plug-in

I tried to download the Kodak Gallery Upload Plug-in, and keep getting an error when it comes to selecting a destination to install. My choices are Macintosh HD or Bootcamp, but the error message that comes up says "You cannot install KODAK Gallery Upload Plug-in on this volume. This plug-in requires that Apple's iPhoto application version 2 or higher be installed." My system has iPhoto 7.1.4. What am I doing wrong with this?

HT5037 I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open

I installed the iphoto library upgrader and iphoto still will not open. can anyone solve this?

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.

IPhoto for iMac and iPhoto for iPad "Integration".

Hi
I think I may have answered my own question already but as the answer is exactly what I was hoping it wouldn't be I think I'd better get it checked.
I'm on an iMac running Mavericks and the latest version iPhoto (9.5 - 902.7), I spent some time adding descriptions to a lot of the photographs and also adding quite a few keywords. I recently acquired an iPad and have installed the latest version of iPhoto for the iPad. My assumption was that if I synced my iMac iPhoto library to my iPad iPhoto library the photo descriptions and keywords (tags in the iPad version) would be replicated on the iPad.
I was staggered to find that after syncing a load of photos over to the iPad that there were no descriptions or tags/keywords transferred.
Can someone who knows about these things confirm that this is how things are supposed to work? If this is what is supposed to happen it seems to me that there is a gaping hole in the synchronisation function.
Thanks,
Quentin.

There is no syncing between iPhoto for Mac and iPhoto for iOS. The only thing they share is a name.
Gaping hole seems an understatement.

Oh, and the latest version of iPhoto is 9.5.1.

Kodak Gallery (Ofoto Express) Issues with iPhoto 8

Since uploading iPhoto 8 I haven't been able to get the application that I use for Kodak Gallery (Ofoto Express) to work at all. Anyone else having these issues? If so, do you know a solution or work around??

Ofoto Express is an old app (2004), and it looks like Kodak is not going to update it (not even to put Kodak's name on the app).
Ofoto Express looks for Albums, so it won't find the new iPhoto "events". Good news is that the last event you load is placed in iPhoto's "Recent" folder, which is a folder that Ofoto Express recognizes. So, in iPhoto, select the event that you want to upload to Kodak before loading Ofoto Express.

New to iPhoto: Database Corruption and iPhoto Package

Coming from the PC I'm used to individual files with Picasa and Photoshop and I'm confused about a few things:
1. Is the iPhoto database separate from the iPhoto package file that stores all of the images?
2. And if you were to lose your database because of corruption, do you lose all of your individual photos?
3. Or if the package somehow became corrupted, do you lose your original images?
4. Slightly off-topic -- does Aperture store the images separately or does it use the same "database package" concept as iPhoto?

1. Is the iPhoto database separate from the iPhoto package file that stores all of the images?
Yes and No. It depends on the settings you choose. In the default setting both the photos and the database are contained within the Library Package. For more see below*.
A Package File is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to see inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
2. And if you were to lose your database because of corruption, do you lose all of your individual photos?
No. The db is a couple of files inside the Library. The photos are at no more risk that when a file goes bad in any folder.
3. Or if the package somehow became corrupted, do you lose your original images?
There's no way for a package to become corrupted. Like I say, it's just a folder.
Of course, the protection for any data on your computer is a good up-to-date back up.
4. Slightly off-topic -- does Aperture store the images separately or does it use the same "database package" concept as iPhoto?
Yes and no. Depends on the settings you choose.
* And this is the below piece to see:
There are two kinds of Library: Managed and Referenced.
A +Managed library+, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. In this scenario iPhoto is responsible for File Management.
A +Referenced Library+ is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organiser
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library.
If you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
*Using iPhoto with Photoshop*
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.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
Aperture - which is somewhat more expensive that iPhoto - has much better tools for running Referenced Libraries. I have no reservations about running Aperture in that mode.

Syncing aperture and iPhoto, syncing aperture and iPhoto

I'd like to switch back to iphoto from aperture. I believe Apple isn't supporting aperture very well. Any suggestions?

Neither Aperture nor iPhoto do support synching of their image databases or even synching between databases generated by different applications.
The way from iPhoto to Aperture is a one-way road - to import iPhoto Libraries into Aperture is well supported, but back from Aperture to iPhoto you will have to export your projects and to reimport manually. This makes sense, since iPhoto only offers a subset of Aperture's features.
I believe Apple isn't supporting aperture very well.
I will not discuss belief, but Aperture and iPhoto share many frameworks and the database engine; so the only thing you'll get by going back will be a simpler graphical user interface and reduced funtionality.
Good Luck

IPhoto 08 application and iPhoto 06 Library

I have iPhoto 08 and Aperture 2 installed.
In order to get the iPhoto library into Aperture, I need to install iPhoto 6.0.6. The current library was upgraded from iPhoto 6.0.5 (on an old mac - PowerPC) to iPhoto 08. It seems to be corrupted.
How can I downgrade the Library and install the iPhoto 6.0.6 in order to correct the library (I do not own iLife 6 ?

Stephanehuber
In order to get the iPhoto library into Aperture, I need to install iPhoto 6.0.6.
No, Aperture will read a v7 (iLife08) Library.
How can I downgrade the Library
You can't. When you upgrade a library you are told that it will no longer be readable by earlier versions of iPhoto.
If you have a damaged library:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Ipod touch plug in and iphoto opens

Why does iphoto open when I plug in my ipod and not itunes?

Because you have iphoto set to open when you connect a camera and you do not have itunes set to open when you connect the device.

Aperture 3.4.1 and iPhoto 11 (9.4) in Lion 10.7.5?

I have created quite a mess here, and am not sure what to do about it. I was looking for some photos that were in my iPhoto library and I saw a vault with the same name in Aperture, but none of the photos appeared. The previous versions of Aperture would see iPhoto libraries and open them within Aperture, but this wasn't working. I couldn't seem to share the photos between the apps. So I found that Open Library in Aperture, which I did, and now I cannot get the two libraries separated. It will only open in one or the other application. It is really a mess. Now I can only open the photos in one or the other at one time. The previous workflow between the two apps was seamless. This one not at all.
I also see some old imports of libraries (iPhoto Library (1) , and iPhoto Library) in the Aperture app and there are duplicates of photos, library 1 has all the photos of the earlier library plus more current ones. I am wondering if the name iPhoto Library in an aperture project window is part of the confusion.
Anyway, this new workflow is really confusing if this is the way it is supposed to happen. If it isn't, I need a remedy. If it is, I need some tricks and instructions about what the heck is going on. I don't like this system at all. Apple really seems to have missed it with the upgrades to the two apps.
Any help appreciated...
Thanks
Jeff

Aperture 3.4.1 is sandboxed, and apparently it can no longer use external clients and plug-ins that are not sandboxed. Outlook and Entourage need to be updated to comply with MAcOS 10.7.5 and 10.8.x to work with Aperture 3.4.1.
See this lengthy discussion: Re: Aperture email sharing (Outlook) not working since upgrade to mountain lion
And send feedback Apple - Aperture - Feedback to Apple and Microsoft.

Using Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11 together

I was wondering how to use them together. I spent a lot of time on Aperture 3 for geotagging every photos + faces and, trying to import them back to iPhoto '11, means losing all those info and start back again.
I was wondering if there's a way for keeping the main library on Aperture 3 but being able to work on it through iPhoto '11.

Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
for geotagging every photos + faces and, trying to import them back to iPhoto '11, means losing all those info
use an Export preset in Aperture that includes location information. There is no way to share Faces, but you can use it as the basis for keywording.

IPad and iPhoto for photo collection

Greetings:
I want to use iPhoto on my iPad to download photos from my camera, organize them into events, label the photos and eventually upload the photos into iPhoto on my iMac for further processing and archiving. Is there a 1000 photo limit or has that changed with the new iOS and the updated iPhoto? We want to use the iPad when we go on vacation and expect to take significantly more than a 1000 photos.
Also, can I use iCloud to download photos and then transfer to an iMac and external storage?
I'd like some help with this.
Thanks

Keeping iPhoto/Aperture iPad and iMac all in synch

My primary work flow is with a high end digital SLR and Aperture on an iMac xOSX 10.6.8. To put pictures on the iPad I synch folders out of Aperture thru iTunes. I want to upload pictures from the camera to the iPad with the camera connector, works just fine. I understand that iPhoto for the iMac now uses the Aperture library, which is great. If I upload pictures to the iPad and use iPhoto on the iPad to edit them, then what do I need to do so that the pictures can get uploaded to Aperture and it all transparent. Workflow - SLR to iPad, edit them on iPad with iPhoto, synch them back to my iMac and Aperture. Run Aperature and the photos are all there as if I had originally just used the camera and iMac/Aperture. One seamless workflow operation

It's not possible. The only thing iPhoto for iOS and iPhoto for the Mac share is a name. So there is no way to share Master, versions, edit history and so on to the Mac from iOS.

IPhoto very slow and Quit

I just imported about 8000 pictures to my new imac from a windows pc. Since I made the import the computer runs VERY slow when iPhoto is open and iPhoto runs especially slow. In addition, when I click the red x to close (but not quit) the program it stalls for about ten seconds then completely shuts down (quits). Any suggestions would be great!
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Wow, that must be frustrating!
How much RAM do you have in your machine?
When you start getting that large of a library in iPhoto, it has been known to bog down, and slow down quite a bit. Generating all of the thumbnails can be an issue, and hadnling the scrolling through the main library display can become awfully slow as well.
Although it applies to an earlier version of iPhoto, try reading this particular article. The suggestions it gives on breaking up your Library into manageable chunks transcends versions.

Kodak Gallery Help

Hi. I just upgraded to Ilife 09. After i upload say 100 pics, ill delete 50 by hitting the delete button. Then to add to Kodak Gallery, I drag/drop my iphoto event ( which says it now has 50 pics) and for some reason Kodak says, "uploading 100 photos." Anyway, why all of a sudden does it not just upload the 50 i kept, ye seems to upload everything including the ones ive deleted? thanks for the help

All iPhoto versions had to have its trash bin emptied via the iPHoto->Empty Trash menu option. Otherwise the files just gather in the Trash bin. If you delete a photo from an Album it's only deleted from that album, not the library.
