Last week I submitted about 52 photos to create a Book.

...after spending 3.5 hours to create this book, this is the message I got from Apple:

Unable to open the events in Iphoto or transfer photos to create a book?

Unable to open the events in Iphoto or transfer photos to create a book. The events are there but I am when double clicking they are not opening up. Also I am unable to drag photos to create a book. Any suggestions??

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

Laying out photos to create a book

I'm new to Indesign. I've managed to create page templates to create a photo book. Now I can drag'n'drop photos to the cells on each page.
However I find it very hard to see what photo I've already added to the document (we're talking hundreds of photos). In other book creation software, or even in Lightroom, each photo is marked as 'added' once it was added to the book.
What is your technique, tips, etc... to create a photo book in indesign ?

thanks, I just had a look at Data Merge with images. It's a solution, but I find it overcomplicated because that means creating an Excel document with the list of my images (how would I create that from Lightroom...) and keeping it up-to-date since I often decide to add or remove images from the book as I create it.
Besides, that wouldn't let me see which images I've already added. It's a shame there is nothing built-in for indesign. Knowing which object was already placed on the pages, would really help.

How can I DISPLAY MORE THAN ONE ROW OF PHOTOS WHEN CREATING A BOOK?

Can I display more than A SINGLE ROW of ohotos on the right side of the page when I am creating a photo book? I have 500 pics and this single bar is ridiculous.

Command (right) - click on a photo in the Photo tray and select Small Photo from the contextual menu:
This will give you two columns of photos.
To reduce the number of photos to select from one can select only Unplaced Photos to be displayed in the tray.
Happy Holidays

CAN YOU ADD NEW PHOTOS AFTER CREATING A BOOK?

I finished making a book on iPhoto, but realized there were still some photos that i wanted to add. Is there any way that i can do this?

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Create collection from photos used in a book

I have a collection of about 800 photos. Created a book layout using about 80 of the photos. As I look at the filmstrip in the Book module, I can see that some of them are marked with "1" to indicate they are used in the book. So far, so good. I would like to create a new collection (or somehow filter) consisting of only the 80-or-so photos used in the book. Is this possible in LR5?

Found a way...
- create a new collection, and set it as the target
- open the book
- click/select each picture (one at a time)
- press B to add it to the target collection
Have to select each picture in the book, but it's pretty fast...

How to make a backup of last week's iPhoto library from Time Machine

I'm sure this should be obvious to me, but rather than struggle for another hour I thought I would engage the brain trust here.
I'm using iPhoto 11 ver 9.4.2 and Mountain Lion 10.8.2 with MBP and Time Capsule.
Last week I added a zillion photos to my iPhoto library as I was combining the photos from several PC hard drives. Of course this gave me a 135G iPhoto library and a million duplicates. So over the holiday weekend I've been using PhotoSweeper (a truly fantastic product) to tune up the library into what I want it to be going forward.
But as I've been deleting all the duplicates, I've suddenly had the urge to save the original bloated library as sort of archaelogical record of every digital picture I ever had. So I want to go back via Time Machine, find the library as it was last week, and save the library to an external drive.
It looks to me like I'm going to need to "Restore" the old library to access it via Time Machine. And then export or save it to the archive hard drive. Right?
But how will I get back to my new, carefully culled iPhoto library? Will I just go back to Time Machine and "restore" the iPhoto library from today?
I don't want to make a big mistake here!
Also, why is my iPhoto library getting larger (now 150g) even though I have deleted (and emptied the iPhoto trash) thousands of photos?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

There have been mixed reviews on Photosweeper - I have not personally used it and recommend one of two known programs for duplicate identification -
Duplicate Annihalitor - http://brattoo.com/propaganda/ - or Decloner - http://www.pixelespressoapps.com/decloner/
The face that your library is getting larger not smaller indicates that something is amiss
As to TM questions for detailed answers the TM forum is best - basically you launch TM, go to the time you want, select the iPhoto library, click restore and when ask if you wnat to keep both say yes and place the newly restored library in the location of your choice

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. Please help

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

So I have a 1.5 year old Macbook Pro (Early 2011) and since last week, it has been making a crackling noise that has escalated to a grinding noise. I went to Genius - they told me my HD was fine, but they could do nothing about the noise. I'm super upset

I have a Macbook Pro that I bought new in August of 2011. It's been wonderful up until now. Last week, I was watching a lot of Netflix for a day, but then it began making a tiny crackling noise when I started my computer. It wasn't really bothersome, but then it's escalated into a grinding noise. A loud grinding noise. I haven't been watching Netflix and barely use any of my applications. My RPMs vary when I'm idle and can go up to 5000. Sometimes, it falls to as low as 1600.
I went to the Genius Bar today and the technician did two diagnostics to test the HD and the parts as a whole. Everything was fine. I was like, ***. Anyways, I asked if there could be anything done for the fans because I was willing to pay (I'm out of warranty). But he said they couldn't DO ANYTHING. That I would have to deal with the annoying noise. I called up Apple and told them what happened and she said that there was nothing else that could be done.
I am so ****** because I did pay good money for this product and I expect to have the option to repair, ESPECIALLY since I'm willing to pay for the repair. Can anyone tell me what to do? Did anyone ever have this problem?

I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding 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.

IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ? I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

What version of iPhoto are you using? 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.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager 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 Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

My iPod touch 3rd gen. 32gb doesn't allow me to access my "Saved Photos" because the "Albums" banner covers it. This occurred with last week's update.

I've read that the only cure is opening the Multitaskbar by double clicking the home button, search for the photo app, tap on it until it starts to shake and hit the little "Minus-icon" in the left corner. Then close the bar again and try again to open the photo app.

Cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downlods and fear that I have accidentally deleted file that opens photos/movies.....any suggestions???

I cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downloads and fear that I have accidentally deleted what is needed to open photos/movies. Any suggestions please? Should re-install the whole Office:mac program, and is it easy to do this without disturbing what I have on my computer?

When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .).

Lightroom 5.6 When I try to publish the photos from Lightroom to SmugMug I get an error Canceling task at the top left side and the photos are not published. I have published photos before just last week so not sure whats going on. Any help would be great

See my first post in this topic:

Trashing the preference file may help, as I've outlined in the topic I've linked to. Otherwise, follow the steps regarding removing 3rd party QuickTime components. Also, see the final post by the OP (EEye87) regarding how his problem was resolved (a combination of trashing the preference file and the 3ivx component).
