Mail / iPhoto Photo Browser out of date.

In Mail, a photo browser button allows me to browse the contents of my iPhoto library (Events, places, etc).
However, the contents are not the same as what I see in iPhoto. They appear to be out of date - no event or photo after Jan 2011 is present.
iPhoto itself is working just fine, and has plenty of more recent photos and events etc.
Any ideas what's going on?

Firstly, always assuming your profile is up to date, I would update the device to 10.6.8 using the Combo updater as follows.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
Then try again.
If there is no improvement I suggest you rephrase the question and put it in the iPhoto columns where it will receive the attention of the gurus there. It is always good practice to channel questions to the communities that are directly related to your problem.

Mail version 4.6, iPhoto 9.2.3

Where is your Library stored?
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.
Look there for a File called 'AlbumData.xml'.
Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?

Aperture doesn't appear in iWork's media browser or Mail's Photo Browser

I've just installed Aperture 2, and I realize that it doesn't appear in the following browsers:
- Media Browser in iWork'08
- Photo Browser in Mail
Also, in iTunes, I can select Aperture to sync photos from, but no album is displayed
Any idea what could be wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

After a long while on the phone with Apple Tech Support, we finally figured out the solution. After deleting ALL my previews (control-click on your main library icon and choose delete all previews) the Aperture library structure shows up everywhere it is supposed to. Of course, generating new previews will give access to the images again...
Hope this helps.

Browser out of date and can't install Adobe Flash Player

My browser is out of date according to everything I am visiting. I can't post pictures on twitter, some of the videos I watch have blocked plug-ins, and I can't install adobe flash player. My computer is a MacBook Pro 10.6.4, and I would like to keep Safari. Can someone direct me to where I get the newest version of Safari and why I cannot install Adobe Flash Player. I have installed, uninstalled, and done everything I know to do to get this problem resolved. Next step is take it to the Apple store as I am not a tech person. Thanks for any assistance.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Upgrade further:
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Nikon Coolpix vs. iPhoto: Photos Black Out After Editing

Photos imported from Nikon Coolpix retain image but show 0 MB once they are edited in iPhoto. This happens more often than not, and there appears to be no consistency as to why and when it happens. This does not happen with other cameras I use, and appears to be independent of the memory card used.
I'm less concerned as to *why* it happens and more concerned to find a solution to the problem.

Original Images are all in color. When Working in the editor, they appear to be ok. Then, when I escape back to the event, the image appears but the size immediately goes from the original to zero. When I go back to the editor, the image becomes all black and only reappears intact when I choose "revert to original". Bottom line appears to be that I will have to upgrade my system. Oh well.

BROWSER out of Date but is IE 10

Hi,
I ordered Elements 11 last night and Adobe site thinks my browser needs to be updated. I can see it shows Internet Explorer 10 on HELP_ABOUT screen so not sure why this error comes up. I really don't want to install a second non-Microsoft browser. Can Adobe fix their site or send me USPS?
Thanks,
James McNamara
Also, Adobe site would not allow me to use the expert help having trouble accepting my screen name. I don't know why you should be stopping your customers from using your site. I am very disappointed.

If you want to talk to Adobe and request they take an action specifically for you, then you need to contact Adobe. These are user to user forums.
Here are some links to help make contact:
http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
http://www.adobe.com/support/download-install/supportinfo/
The primary recommendation you will get here is to use a different browser. IE10 has issues with the Adobe site. Whether the site should be adjusted to work with the browser, or the browser should be designed to work with the site probably depends more on which existed first.

"Browser out of date" when running Safari 8.0

Hi everyone,
I have been having a little problem for some time now. Certain websites like gmail, wordpress, Zillow or even iCloud.com have been saying that I am not running the latest version of safari and it needs to be updated. Problem is I am running Yosemite on a MacBook Pro (5,4) and the about safari window says I am running Safari 8.0.
Like I said it's not a big problem since I simply need to dismiss it but it is a little annoying and concerning.
Would anyone know where that could come from, and how to stop getting these warnings?
Side note, I believe it was already doing with Maverick and then with the Beta version of Yosemite.
Thanks for your help.
Matt

I just noticed that I can't install extensions from Apple.com either, it says I need Safari 6...

Photo Browser in Mail does not show iPhoto after migration

I've posted in this in the iPhoto '08 thread but I'm thinking this is a Mail issue.
After using the Migration Assistant to move files from my MacBook to my iMac, when in Mail, the "Photo Browser" shows photos from Photo Booth but no longer from iPhoto.
Ideas? Many thanks!

Have been working with LarryHN in an iPhoto thread. He posted this SOLUTION. Yes!!!
Try this - Download and reapply the latest iLife support update - iLife support 9.0.3 - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/ilifesupport903. html

Apple Mail, Photo Browser, Attachments and Yosemite

OK,
Help.
Anytime I want to insert a photo from my iPhoto Library into Apple Mail via Photo Browser in Yosemite Mail, it crashes.
My preferred method - Via add attachments - Finder/Pictures/Iphoto library doesn't work anymore. It now says Open iPhoto library.
Why does Apple change these things without like checking them out?
Anyone have an advice. I think Yosemite is pretty half baked. I'm a computer consultant and this is the worst release for customers since Leopard.

Post the first 50 lines of the Mail crash report and the lines for the crashed thread.
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Note: Since it's Mail that's crashing it's not an iPhoto problem but a Mail/System one.
Log into another user account on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists there. If it does then it's a system wide issue. If not it's an account issue.
Download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify some of the more obvious culprits.

Aperture not showing up / displaying in Mail Photo Browser in Leopard 10.5

This is for anyone who upgraded to Leopard 10.5.1 and wanted to use Mail's Photo Browser to insert Aperture pics into mail messages. At first, it only displayed the iPhoto and Photo Booth folders in Mail's Photo Browser on my Powermac but I remember seeing it in the Apple store.
If you already generate previews in Aperture, this is pretty much a non-issue. But for me, it frustrated me for a long time. To make it work, the previews must be set in Aperture. I turned it off because it used up extra HD space.
In Aperture, you need to check the "Share previews with iLife and iWorks" under Preferences. Then decide which size and quality of a preview you want. The larger the size and quality, the better it will turn out when you use it in the photo browser. This dictates the image size and quality of what is imported into your Mail message. (I used the smallest size and a quality of 7, which gave satisfactory results without making the aperture library grow too much). I figured it I wanted to email a large, I could attach it separately via a standard export from Aperture. Don't go too low on the quality as it will not turn out very good.
Remember to go and generate previews for each folder or pictures, as those are the only ones that will show up in the Mail photo browser. The folders will show up but no pictures if you don't generate the previews.
It takes a minute before it refreshes in the Mail Photo Browser. Just play with the different settings and put them into your mail to compare the results.

I had a similar problem and what I found was that I had some corrupt .avi files. Once I removed them all was well. I had to create a new iPhoto library and hunt and peck. I would drag part of the old library into the new library then see if iTunes would see the photos - once it froze then I knew what part of the iPhoto library to look at.

Mail - Photo Browser

Currently the only items showing in the photo browser are iPhoto and Aperture.
Is it possible to view other folders?

Yes, just drag the folder of your choice to the Photo Browser window. The trick here is to use Expose, because when you click out of Mail, the Photo Browser disappears.
In the Finder, choose the folder you want (click and hold the mouse button) then hit F9, mouse over to Mail, hit F9 again, and drop the folder into the Photo Browser.

Photo browser in Mail not working

In new mail my photo browser will not add photos even though it appears on screen when requested. Some time ago I had to replace my original photo library with a new one and I think this has caused the problem as it used to work fine. I do not know what to do to get it working again and would really appreciate any help to do so. Should I consider re-installing Leopard?

Hi Buzz,
Hi John; Sorry that I didn't reply sooner. Been busy playing with a new toy! I got carried away here so this kind-a long!
Keep the chat coming - it made me laugh!
Well, O.K. Hmm, this will amuse you and may amaze you too! The ONLY reason I EVER had for buying a Computer was due to my mind's insatiable boredom created by my job! It's a long story but I LIVED out of my suitcase, in Hotel's/Motel's, a different Town/City every day, 6 days a week! And *I HATED IT!* I was so bored *OUT OF MY MIND*, I became an alcoholic! I didn't just get drunk every night, I STAYED drunk all day long every day! I was so good at being drunk I could FAKE being SOBER! EVERYBODY I talked to was convince that I had a speech impediment. I wanted to quit but the salary for this job was so INSANE I couldn't. The Job: K-Mart Field Auditor. The year: 1979-82! The Computer: A 1980 Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80!
The amazing part of this story: I STILL have the Computer, it STILL works and I STILL use it! It's the ONLY Computer that I've EVER own that's SO stable it HAS never CRASHED. Unfortunately I STILL have a addiction but isn't alcohol, it's Computers! I'm SO addicted my Boss wants to commit me to a psychiatric hospital but he won't! He can't replace me! I'm the ONLY Certified Windows Professional in this city with more of years experience than all of the other CWP have been alive! I was doing 'Stuff' with my TRS-80 25 years ago that most Computers *CAN'T EVEN* do today but that's another story! Do you know somebody else that STILL uses a 27 Year Old Computer?
If you have more than one email account when you click new mail there is a "From" box right under the address boxes which allows you to click on the account you want to use to send- in my case either @tiscali or @google.
Yup I'm in the Groove now and I'm following you but that ONLY changes the From:, not the E-Mail Account that will Send it! There's a different option to do this that I will explain ...
If I open new mail and click the google address all is well. Not so if I click tiscali.
Yup! It's the 'stuff' that makes you go NUTS when the logic ain't logical! But after doing some research about multiple Mail Accounts I found the logical logic that will help! Hmm, did that make any sense to you? I'm get so confused when I do immutable weird mutating stuff that turns my logical mind into mindless gibberish logic but it makes me happy!
Alternatively it could be that this difference only appeared after I carried out the start up operation you gave me last time. I do not know.
O.K. Me BAD! I told you to do that but I didn't tell you WHY. As you're using your Mac it creates different Caches to cut down on having to re-search the Hard Drive again. This makes 'Stuff' open quicker and when you open 'Stuff', the Mac will ALWAYS look at the caches first before looking at the Hard Drive. If the Mac finds this 'Stuff' in the cache it WILL NOT look for it any further and uses the Cached Information. If you change something on the Hard Drive that the Mac HAS NOT cached, like renaming iPhoto files without using iPhoto, it won't know about it and then weird stuff starts happening. 'Safe Boot' clears the caches and MAKES the Mac re-cache 'Stuff'.
I have tried to attach all sorts of photos to the tiscali new mail and none works - thought maybe there was some kind of size limit perhaps but lots of the older photos are really quite small.
Well, I think I know an answer for this should work! You know: what's good for the goose should be good for geese! O.K. down to business and I took my time to aim this 'Shot'! Hmm, where to start and do I explain this simply?
First open Mail then Preferences and goto the Account window. You know how to setup the Accounts because they work, sort of! At the bottom of the Account Information window, there's an option to use a 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)'. It's a drop down box that will let you change or edit this information. Change this to 'None' and underneath this option is a check box to 'Use only this server'. Un-check it if it's checked. Now you don't have a 'Default Mail Server' and can choose the server to use from a new e-mail. Now while you are still in this window, click the Advance button under the tool bar. At the bottom of this window there's a click box for the option 'Use IDLE command if the server supports it'. Un-check it if it's checked. This option only works with IMAP Servers and not with the POP Servers that you use. O.K. You still with me?
Now click the 'Composing' icon on the tool bar at the top. Then uncheck 'Automatically <Cc or Bcc> myself' if it's checked and you don't use it. IMO:This option SO asinine! But stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff'. Now, the next option to change is 'Send new mail from'. This maybe the 'Pain in your Derrière' that you're having but it should change when you select the 'From:' while creating new e-mail. You probably only have three choices here and I suggest anything BUT the 'Account of the last viewed mailbox'. O.K. Still with me?
Now I KNOW why my this Mail Stuff was a 'Pain in your Derrière'. Did I mention that stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff'. This is a quote I found in Mail's Help! *"To change the server you want to use to send the message, use the server pop-up menu in the New Message window."* Well, O.K. But I was going blind looking for this infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' in the the 'New Message Window'. Mail's Help said It's there but I don't SEE IT! Plus, I don't believe everything I read or half of the 'Stuff' I see! Swell, Just Swell! I feel like I'm watching PAINT dry! And I'm not in my 'Groove' yet plus I know the answer will 'DAWN ON ME' later while I'm doing other 'Stuff'! So I do, then it does and 'DAWN', my third eye, shows me the way! O.K. Are you still with me or are you busy, laughing at this rambling Weirdo? Can you tell that I read & write like a moron that's a Computer Genius?
Now were was I? O Yea... Open a new e-mail window and look for a square box on the left side of 'FROM:'. See it? Now click on it and a drop box will appear. The infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' option you want isn't even list here and I kept missing it! I did mention that stupid programers do stupid 'Stuff', didn't I? So click on 'Customize ...' and the ALL the Mail options are now shown with check boxes. Isn't that just dandy? Are you cursing at that stupid programer like a truck driver? I DID! I cursing now! I curse out that stupid programer every time a create a new e-mail! Man O Man! No wonder there's so many names to impugn a Stupid person ... Asinine, Dumb, Dense, Dull, Slow, Obtuse but their just unintelligent. But a person with Stupid Stupidity is TOTALLY Brain Dead! Well, I did it again and went off the subject, carried away with mindless gibberish. O.K. You still with me?
On the right side of the 'FROM:' box is that infamous 'Server Pop-up Menu' option that you want to use. Click the check box next to, on the left so doesn't disappear! Now you can choose whichever E-Mail Server you want to send e-mail from. But before you click the OK button I have a suggestion. Uncheck the 'Cc:' box under 'TO:' then check the 'Bcc:' box. I explain ... The 'Cc:' means Carbon Copy and the e-mail address use here will receive a Copy the the e-mail. But everybody that gets this e-mail WILL know the e-mail address of everybody else that got this e-mail! Does that make any since? Plus Spammers can collect these e-mail address way to easy! It's a long story to explain how quickly this can be done. Now the 'Bcc:' means 'Blind Carbon Copy' and it works just like 'Cc:', but there's ONE very important difference! Everybody that gets this e-mail is BLIND to the e-mail address of everybody else that got this e-mail! Plus Spammers are BLIND about these e-mail address as well, TOTALY impossible to collect! PERIOD! And you probably know this by now, but you can use the the 'Reply-To Address Field' to have replies sent to an email address that is different from the email address you’re using to send the message. One last tip then I've got to go to bed! You can sent email without an email address in the 'TO:' box if you use 'Bcc:' with an email address! But this may not work because some Spammers don't use an email address in the 'TO:' box any more, so several 'E-Mail Servers' will block an email with blank 'TO:'
WOW! Did I get carried away! This post is HUGE!
I hope I covered everything and that Apple let's me post it!
Later ...

No photos appear in Photo Browser?

Just got a new iMac (it's sweet, btw) and have now jumped from 10.4 to 10.6. There's this new little thing in Mail called Photo Browser which seems to supposedly be connected to iPhoto to easily access pics. But my Photo Browser is completely empty, even though I have about 1,500 pictures in iPhoto. Is this just a small hiccup due to the fact that I transferred all my files and settings over from my other Mac (a MacBook)? Anyone else see this issue? I searched through the discussions but don't see this topic.
thanks.

Know of any way to "upgrade" the library, while retaining all the albums (regular albums, smart albums, web albums) and events?
no, but it should not be necessary either with iphoto08. it's sufficiently recent. in fact, I did almost the same thing as you. i had leopard and iphoto08. I bought macbox set of SL, upgraded to snow leopard and then installed ilife 09. I don't have any issues seeing my iphoto library in the photo browser in Mail. cold try doing it from another account? make a new account, copy your iphoto library there, set up Mail there and see if it works there.

Mail / iPhoto Photo Browser out of date.
