Macbook air, No Iphoto

A couple of days ago I purchased an open macbook air item. The only issue I am having is that who ever previously owned the computer must have deleted iphoto on the macbook air because it is no where to be found. Is this something Best Buy can fix or should fix before I had purchased the computer?

Use your recovery USB device to install iLife 2011 (includes iPhoto). If you do not have a recovery USB device then you should contact Apple Support and obtain a new one.

I have a MacBook Air with iPhoto 9.2

I have a MacBook Air with iPhoto 9.2 and am unable to open my iPhoto library. It opens and closes immediately. The software is updated. I recently attempted to migrate my software off my old macbook pro, could this have caused the problem?

My macbook pro has iphoto 7.1.5 and the MacAir has iphoto 9.2. and since I did the migration from the mbp to the air, I keep getting this message ... The application “iPhoto” unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows. Do you want to try to restore its windows again?

I have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.

i have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.how do i delete all of this?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Clean install OSX 10.5.8 in macbook air, missing iphoto, imovie, garage etc..

Hello everyone,
I just recently bought a used macbook air from someone, its a late 2009 macbook. it was originally version 10.5.6 but I wanted a clean macbook (as if i just bought a completely new macbook) so i erased and installed with a CD that apple sent me. But after i installed it it lost all the apps like iphoto, imovie garage band. Does anyone know how i can get those apps (besides buying them) ?
thank you for any responses in advance.

When you register the notebook, using your Apple ID, you should be able to download the missing apps from the the Mac App Store, provided they were included with the notebook when purchased new. If they were installed using a DVD, and never updated, you may have to contact Apple for instructions.

Upgrade to iPhoto '11 on Macbook Air from iPhoto on iBook G4 causing viewing problems

Hi,
I was using a iBook G4 with iPhoto quite happily until I decided to upgrade. I had my iPhoto Library on my External Harddrive because it was too big for the onboard memory.
I have upgraded to mid 2011 Macbook Air, and attempted to use iPhoto '11, but it stated I had to upgrade all my photos before I could use them. I have done so, and now I can't see most of them in iPhoto.
This photo shows my issue. The files are in the iPhoto Library package, but not showing up in iPhoto. For example, the photo highlighted in iPhoto, I have found in iPhoto Library>Masters>2008>Roll 137>P6200035.jpg as it's original file (the Finder window on the top right), and iPhoto Library>Data>2008>Roll 137>P600035.jpg as what I assume is it's thumbnail (Finder window on bottom right).
I have also found them in iPhoto Library>Originals>2008.... and iPhoto Library>Thumbnails>2008....
I tried repairing the iPhoto Library to no avail. I tried draggin the file into iPhoto, but was met with this dialogue box:
so I tried deleting that particular photo so I could just add it in again, but it won't let me (cmd and backspace does nothing and moving to trash just gets a error sound.
I have looked through these community forums for answers butthey seem to be from people upgrading their iPhoto software, whereas I am using Iphoto 11 out of the box.
Thank you.

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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

HT1338 Why won't my MacBook Air Update iPhoto and iMovie ?

I bought my macbook Air mid last year and the flash drive was faulty in it and i had to have it replaced and ever since that i cant use imessage as they didnt put the serial number back in and now i cant update some applications on my computer and as iPhoto and iMovie. when i try to update these applications it just says " to update this aplication, sign into the account you used to purchase it" i am on the sane account as what i have always used the only differance is i have changed the email from what it use to be

The download takes a long time. If you have a Ethernet Adaptor use it. Try to locate a high-bandwidth wireless connection. Do you have enough free space on your SSD (including keeping 10-20% empty for VMEM and temporary files)

I cannot save a picture emailed to my macbook air to iPhoto?

i cannot save a picture sent by email to iphoto on my macbook air. i can do this process on my Imac, any ideas as to why this can't be done.

Quite a few people have reported issues with "Save to iPhoto" directly from mail recently.
But surely you could, for example, save the mail attachment to, say, your desktop and then drag it from there to iPhoto.

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
Best of luck.

Syncing Photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto on Macbook Air

I have synced my photos from my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Air through iPhoto to free up storage. I do not have a single picture in my camera roll, but on my iPhone in storage settings, it says that Photos and Camera are still taking up 7.2GB of memory (Specifically: Photo Library - 7.2GB, Synced from iTunes Library - 0.7 KB, and Shared Photo Stream - 4.1 KB). How do I completely delete this photos off of my iPhone to free up storage without erasing them from my iPhoto on my Macbook?

Check Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library (Beta) = "Off"
You may then need to reset the iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
iCloud Photo Library is not on your Mac yet.

When I edit photo's in Iphoto on my ipad2, it decreases the resolution. Why does this happen and does this also happen on a macbook air?

I have made pictures on high resolution with a Canon 100D camera, which means the pictures are 5-6 MB.
But when I edit them on my Ipad2 in Iphoto it decreases the size and resolution of the pictures to about 0.5MB
Does anyone know why Iphoto decreases the resolution of my pictures when I edit them?
And does this also happen with Iphoto on a macbook air?
Thank you.
Onno

I have made pictures on high resolution with a Canon 100D camera, which means the pictures are 5-6 MB.
Are the photos raw photos or jpeg? When you edit raw photos in iPhoto on your iPad, the raw image will not be processed, only the embedded jpeg. That will reduce the resolution of the image considerably.
But when I edit them on my Ipad2 in Iphoto it decreases the size and resolution of the pictures to about 0.5MB
How do you save he edited version after editing? That will determine, if the image will be scaled down,
For a full-resolution edit you need to share the edited photo to the Camera Roll,
see this help page: Edit a photo
If you edit a photo in the iPhoto Camera Roll album, the edited photo automatically appears in the Camera Roll on your iOS device, at the resolution of your device. If you want a full-resolution version of the edited photo sent to the Camera Roll, tap and tap Camera Roll. The full-resolution photo appears in the Camera Roll, and is transferred to your computer when you sync the Camera Roll with your computer.
And does this also happen with Iphoto on a macbook air?
iPhoto on a Mac has a lossless workflow. iPhoto will always store the original image file that you imported and compute an edited version from this stored original. The quality of the photo you will see outside iPhoto will depend on the methode you use for sharing. You can export at the original size or scaled down, depending on the purpose you want teh photo for, small for email and web presentation, full versions for printing, for example.

How to AirPlay from MacBook Air iPhoto?

Anybody know how to reproduce a video that has been downloded from iPhone into iPhoto (MacBook Air) to Apple TV?
I recently downloded all videos from my iPhone into my MacBook Air´s iPhoto to free space. When I played the videos on my iPhone, I was able to choose my Apple TV in order to whatch it on my TV.
Now that I have the video on iPhoto, when I play it, Macbook Air does not give the option to reproduce it on Apple TV. Same goes for Youtube and other videos played on my MacBook Air.

Mountain Lion (the next version of OS X) will have Apple TV mirroring built in. Wait a couple months.

How do I transfer a large video (31minutes) from my Iphone 5s to my macbook air?

I have tried importing a large video (31 minutes long) from my Iphone 5s to my Macbook Air through iphoto but it keeps getting rejected.
I keep receiving this message "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
Please guide me on how to proceed.
Bella

Have you tried resetting the iPhone and rebooting the Mac? I don't think iPhoto has an import size limitation, but if you still have trouble then perhaps using a cloud service like Dropbox as an intermediary will get the job done.

Sharing photos between IPad and MacBook Air

Hi
How can i import some photos recorded into my IPad and save them into my MacBook Air? I mean, how can i share photos between those equipment?
Thanks
Jorge

The simplest and most efficient way would be to use Photo Stream as described here:

Photos on your iPad will immediately appear on your MacBook Air in iPhoto -- as long as your MacBook Air is reasonably recent and OS X and iPhoto are current.

Projekt Photo-Buch von iMac auf MacBook Air kopieren

Hallo,
ich habe Probleme ein Photo-Buch mit 88 Seiten auf meine iMac 27" 2012 nach Apple zu versenden.
Das kommt erst 1: Erstellen, das klappt auch, 2. Hochladen, da zeigt sich ein minmal Blauer Balken, sonst passiert da nicht, auch wenn ich 1 Stunde warten.
Alle Programme auf meine iMac 27" starten nicht mehr. Ich muss den Rechner ausschalten und wieder neu starten.
Jetzt ist die Überlegung das auf meinen MacBook Air 2011 zu testen.
Wie kann ich das Projekt kopieren?
Schon einmal hatte ich so ein Proleme: Mit den WISO Steuer klappte das nicht auf meinen iMac, ich habe es auf meine MacBook Air kopiert, da geht es.
Gruss NewGEOS
I have this question too (0)
Reply

Geschafft!
Ich habe von meine iMac die iPhoto Library auf eine Externe Festplatte kopiert und dann auf den MacBook Air unter iPhoto: Zur Mediathek wechseln die Externe Festplatte eingefügt und das versenden klappte in 30 Minuten.
Aber warum das mit dem iMac nicht geht? Ich gehe mal nach Oberhausen hin in den Apple Store.
Gruss NewGEOS
