Mac Iphoto help

I need help with using Iphoto not elements organizer. I did import several photos into elements becasue I don't know what I am doing. If I delete these wil they still be in iphoto if I can see them now. Are they in both places now? Also, I did change the preferences as someone suggested for iphoto to open editor as elements. but what is the deal with the save no save as instructions? Why do I want to only save over my origional? What if I want to keep my origional too? I am very confused. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

This has nothing to do with iPhoto on the Mac. You need to ask in the iPhoti for IOS forum about questions on how to use iPhoto for IOS

What version of iPhoto are you using? 9.6 is the current version.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Since upgrading to Yosemite my iPhoto, iMovie and Garage band has simply disappeared from my Mac. HELP!?

Hi Jdireen,
As someone who uses the iLife applications on a daily basis on my Mac I can understand how it would be upsetting to have them disappear suddenly. Let's see if we can get you back up and running.
You can download the applications again and reinstall them from the Mac App Store -
GarageBand - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id682658836?mt=12
iMovie - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imovie/id408981434?mt=12
iPhoto - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id408981381?mt=12
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I am trying to download my photos from my iphone to my mac-iphoto. It keeps trying but about halfway through it says there is an error with a photo therefore it wont download any of my pictures or videos. It wont tell me which picture is the issue.

I took a lot of pictures and video on my recent trip to Ireland. Now I am trying to download the photos and videos from my iphone to my mac - iphoto. I have tried 3 times and each time (at a different point) I get a message telling me that there was an error with one of my photos and it wont load the pictures. Help!!

Try using Image Capture to download to a folder on the Desktop. If there's a damaged file on the iPhone that's preventing the download you can isolate it with Image Capture and then delete it from the iPhone.

How to watch my Mac iPhoto Library on my iPhone?

Hi,
is there a way to watch my Mac iPhoto Library on my iOS devices using Home WiFi?
I am regurarly sharing my music, clips, films etc, but cannot find a way to share my Photos, although photo sharing is activated on my iPhoto mac... I can see it from my AppleTV, but nothing seen on my iPhone...
Any help pse?

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
IOS 7 is coming - maybe a change there - who knows
At this time the only thing iPhoto for IOS and iPhoto for the Mac share is the name - nothing else

My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

When did this deletion happen? Which version of iOS 8 do you have on your iPad? Depending on your settings you may not see My Photo Stream on the iPad any longer. With iOS 8 "My Photo Stream" will only show on the iPad, if you did not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta).

Exporting from ios 7 iphoto to mac iphoto

Hello.
Is there an easy (and logical) way to export photos from ios 7 iphoto to mac iphoto?
I thought they had better (if any) integration.
I recently travelled to Asia and took pictures only with the iphone. As I take pictures of everything around me, I ran out of space and downloaded ios 7 iphoto to iphone and ipad, so I could send from one to the other. After a few days I discovered that although iphoto would show pictures from the camera roll, camera roll wouldn't show pictures imported to the iphoto if I didn't save them there.
Well, now I have like 5 thousand pics that I need to save to the camera roll in order to export to mac maverick's iphoto (which makes no sense to me). Now, the problem. I see an option called "SELECT ALL", but I cannot use it. So, I had to do it 100 by hundred, only to realise that, once I did 100, it would be added to the roll, then to iphoto and I'd accidently mark the new (old) ones and so I ended up with MANY of them multiplied X times.
Can anyone help me?

I thought they had better (if any) integration.
Both are very different applications for different purposes, and they do not share much more than the name.
iPhoto on iOS is meant for easy sharing of photos on social media or similar and sending the photos onward, and are meant for just a few selected photos at a time, not for maintaining a large photo library and syncing it with a mac or other devices - see this page (What is iPhoto?), what iPhoto 2.0 is meant for.
The well supported ways to transfer photos from the iDevices to the computer are Photo Stream and connecting to USB - both require the photos to be saved to the Camera Roll, as you noticed, but at least they will transfer the photos at the full resolution. (see: Ways to share photos)
Your best bet to get 5000 photos off your devices, probably would be sharing to iTunes:
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap the share button > iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
Or use "Share > Other Apps" and save to Dropbox or other syncing appps.
-- Léonie
Addd: to remember,which photos you already saved, I'd add tags, that will group them into albums in iPhoto.

IPhoto '08:"iPhoto Help" no longer "helps"

Hi All:
I was looking for some help understanding some of the new editing functions in iPhoto '08, when I clicked on the "Help" menu in iPhoto, and then clicked on "iPhoto Help" submenu.
A small "iPhoto Help" window opened, but when I clicked on any of the subheadings in it, the subhead would be underlined briefly, and then the entire window would close. WHen I would try to run a search, nothing would be found; no matter what the search, even for something like "red eye," which I know is in there.
It seems like my iPhoto help function has been corrupted. In any event, it no longer works at all.
I remember there being a similar problem with the Mac Help in Tiger and there was a way to delete certain files and, in effect, rebuild the Mac Help function.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know of a solution? Any and all help will surely be appreciated.
Thanks.
JDee

Joe:
I know not if it was one of your suggested solutions -- the first of which I tried, the second of which I had already tried and the third of which I considered trying but did not -- or your calm, mellifluous manner of assistance, but regardless of the specifics, my issue is, indeed, solved. And you, mon ami, deserve the +ad hoc ergo propter hoc+ credit. Everything's working as it should, at least on the new MBP. The world, well that's an entirely different story, but at least there's change on the horizon, change I can believe in. Until then....
Thanks, brah.

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
so it is completely unresponsive.
I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
Thanks

I deleted my events in iPhoto Help? The "events" are not in the trash. I did download stellar phoenix recovery but not sure what to do

You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

I tried to upload my daughters videos she made on her iPod to my mac iPhoto and it seemed to have "Stuck" and now will not work at all. It had to a complete fix of the existing library.

New mac, iPhoto stopped working halfway through import

I've just started up my brand new (never had one before) iMac, followed all instructions, everything works fine. Plugged Phone in & iPhoto started up automatically, I clicked import and off it started, 894 photos to import, it got to 310 left to import & has been stuck ever since. I can't do anything at all with my new mac. Help!!! iPhoto version 9.5.1

I managed to sort it out all by myself by using the 'force quit' option that I found. Problem solved, iPhoto no longer frozen & I uploaded all my photos successfully. Just incase anyone was interested in how to sort out that specific problem.

Upon upgrading iPhoto, iPhoto Help no longer works. It gives the error message: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet." Help!?

I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
Let me know how you get on?
Thanks.
