Making iPhoto default for syncing

My iPhone 5s has always default synced to iPhoto perfectly. Today, a new window from dropbox popped up and I thought I had clicked the right button. But...Now my camera photos won't sync to iPhoto, so I'm wondering how to reassign iPhoto as the default sync application for my camera photos. In other words, my iPhone can DOWNLOAD photos from iPhoto right now, but doesn't seem to be UPLOADING them automatically. How do I get the phone to do that?

Launch the Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Bottom left corner of the Image Capture window select: iPhoto
If it's not available in the list, click Other than navigate to your Applications folder and select iPhoto.

Making iPhoto Default for Safari

How do I make iPhoto my default for the images I download in Safari? I don't want to keep changing the folder I download into everytime I download something. Can't I just have an option to download images to iPhoto everytime? Also how can I make iPhoto my default for all images?
I'm a new Mac user, can you tell? LOL
Thanks,
Barb

When you download files in a browser, you never specify what application is supposed to open it. In Mac OS X, each type of file (.GIF, .PNG, .JPG, etc.) has a specific default application, which is automatically assigned to the file, although you can change those defaults if you want.
The problem with iPhoto is that it cannot work with files not already in its library; and only certain types of files can be imported by it. So the answer to your question is that there is no completely automatic way to move files into iPhoto. I don't think even AppleScript can really help you much here.
Sorry for the bad news. You can still import image files by just dragging them into iPhoto folders when it is open, however. That should be easy enough.

Making iTunes default for videos

making iTunes default for videos
i have a macbook pro and i have videos on my mac that i want itunes to automatically open without quick time being the defauly program because i like to use airplay on itunes and watch my videos on apple tv but every time i want to watch a video i have to click other and choose itunes, does anyone know how i can make itunes my default video player

You need to change it in get info. So go to the video and right click or command & I. Select get info. Under the section that reads open with select iTunes and click on change all. All similar formats will open with iTunes.

Automatically Includes # of episodes defaults for Sync TV Shows ...

In iTunes Sync TV Shows tab, there is a feature for automatically include # of episodes to sync.
The default setting are
all
all unwatched
the newest
the 3 newest
the 5 newest
the 10 newest
the newest unwatched
the 3 newest unwatched
the 5 newest unwatched
the 10 newest unwatched
the oldest unwatched
the 3 oldest unwatched
the 5 oldest unwatched
the 10 oldest unwatched
My question is ... can we change the default # of episodes anywhere within iTunes? 1, 3, 5, 10, all options are not enough.
I have TV shows that over 100 episodes but I try to load only about 40 (most current) onto my devices (iPod Touch, iPhone and/or iPad)
I know I can manually select each episodes to load, but I really don't want to update the sync file list each time when I add a new episodes to the show.
I did try to use Playlist function, but the criteria is very user friendly for TV shows and it does not really work for me.
Does anyone know how and what can I do to fulfill my issue?
Please comment. THANKS A LOT.

For those passing through, I have found the solution. After checking through various other discussions I have discovered that the video app on the iPad is much, much more picky that iTunes or the video app from the iPhone.
First you need to make sure that everything on the info tap (from iTunes get info) for each episode within a series is exactly the same. Only the name of the episode can be different. Make sure that the Artist, Album Artist, and Album are the same. For the album, use a unique title that is different than that used by other seasons of a show (try using whatever, season 1, etc). Don't forget the genre and compilation entries. You can set these changing these as a group by selecting all of the episodes and change then together. Be sure to check the boxes beside each entry to insure that the entry is applied to all of the group.
Second, on the video tab, make sure that every episode has something unique in the Episode ID. I repeated the episode number here. You can't do this as a group, you have to change each one individually. Use the next button to step through each one.
Don't know if the sorting tab is required to be uniform, but I fixed these also. Finally, there is a bug when changing groups of videos. When changing multiple episodes at once, the Media Kind from the Options tab resets to Music. Don't forget to correct this before you hit OK.
This should fix the TV shows both in your synced shows and when you use the home sharing feature. Good Luck, Charlie

Making iphoto default photo program

iphoto used to work fine, I would log into facebook, myspace, my blog, etc and choose to upload file, and it would bring up my photos in iphoto. NOW, it brings up photobooth. Well, I have no photos in photobooth, and I have no NO clue how to make it go back and make iphoto the default photo program. HELP! thanks in advance...

In the upload selection window look in the lower left under media and choose photos ==> iPhoto

Still not answered---making iphoto default photo program

When I go to add photos to facebook, blog, when I click on media it brings up "movies, pictures," blah blah blah but when I click pictures it brings up photobooth now now iphoto. How do I make iphoto the default photo program?? Thanks!

Let me try to be more specific. When I go to add photos, either using facebook, my blog, or pretty much any program, it gives you the option to "browse" your computer in order to upload photos. When I click on browse, it used to bring up iphoto as an option, I would click it, then pick which photo/photos I wanted to upload. Now, it brings up photo booth instead, which of course does not have any pictures in it. I need to get iphoto back to being the default program so that when I go to upload pictures, I can upload them directly from iphoto. Does this make more sense?

How to solve issue with strange iphoto events shown in itunes for sync IOS devices ? This issue is very old and not been fixed by apple... terrible

all softwares latest version january 2013.
I see in itunes many strange crazy iphoto events that in iphoto do not exist.
These vents are named as data and contains just few photos.
each event can be sync with IOS devices, but that event is not in iphoto !
It looks like miniatures... no way to solve this issue making all possible maintenance in iphoto library.
THis issue is very old, very terrible, people start to have doubts about iphoto as a reliable software.
Need a fix asap.
Apple please help!
I were with 2 hours at genius bar but nothing.
Genius told me apple have been informed and they are working on a solution..... this 4 months ago !!!
Need solution asap
THanks
Fabio

Apple aren't here. As you're the only person with this problem that I've seen on here, I would suspect that its more a local problem on your machine than something Apple need to fix.
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 the iPod Photo Cache.
Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.

Making own Templates for iPhoto

in iPhoto `08, when you export pictures as a website, you can choose either a default template or one with bordered images.
I wondered if there wont be more templates with the time. As long I figured out where those Templates are stored. Depending on the localization you can find it i.e. in:
Photo.app/Contents/Plugins/HTMLExporter.iPhotoExporter/Contents/Resources/German .lproj/Templates
I tried to make an own template by modifying a copy of one of those templates. It works pretty fine. But there is one problem:
iPhoto uses as variable stuff like <ipt_photo>, or <ipt_links>.
I can change any html synthax I want in those templates, but when I set those iphoto synthax just on another place, iPhoto doesn't translate them anymore, when it proceedes to generate the html files.
Anyone any idea???

Why not use iWeb where you have 24 frames and 26 customizable page themes to use? Much more flexible than the limited web export from iPhoto and no hacking required.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I inadvertently set my external hard drive as default for Iphoto.

I inadvertently set my external hard drive as the default for iPhoto. Can I copy all the albums over to the IMac IPhoto files? If so How?

No - albums are virtual things that exist only in the iPhoto database - another view of photos in your library like events, photos, places, etc
you are going to have to explain yourself - things like the versions of iPhoto and the OS, do you have two iPhoto libraries one on each drive or only one - exactlhy what you want to do and to accomplish
and how you "inadvdertently" did this

Making Adobe 7.0.5 the default for .pdf files

I was advised that the way to get Adobe 7.0.5 to be the default, instead of 5.0, was to delete the Adobe applications & files in my system, library, and user folders, including the 7.0.5 app. itself. Then, after everything relating to Adobe is gone, I should re-install 7.0.5 and it would become the default.
I also heard that Spotlight won't find every Adobe component or extention, so I'd have to do a detailed search and delete each one that way.
Does this sound right?
Can't I just delete the 5.0 folder in the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder and have everthing associated with 5.0 gone? Isn't that the beauty of having a Mac?
Thanks,
Greg
PowerBook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.2) 1.5 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM

Hi Greg
You were poorly advised. Deleting Adobe apps is a headache and completely irrelevant when it comes to making an app the default for a file type.
Control-click a .pdf file, choose Get Info. In the Info window click the Open With drop down list, choose the app you want, and then click Change All underneath it.
That should do it. You might find that there is more than one type of .pdf file and you might need to perform this action again at some time, but this should do the job.
And yes, you can just delete the Acrobat Reader 5.0 folder.

Best app (not TM) for syncing iPhoto library

I have iPhoto 11 on my iMac. I use Time Machine to backup with the HDD conneted to my iMac.
However I would also like to either backup my iPhoto library to my NAS, or to another HDD for offsite storing. I also want to hold my iTunes library too.
So I have seena few Mac Apps for syncing, but not one that seems to do what I want to do.
Is there any apps that can sync iPhto library to another NAS or HDD? I would rather they sync, than having to just copy the whole iPhoto library everytime, as this would take ages.
Am I right in thinking that I have to have the NAS or HDD in a Mac exteneded format or something? Also I know the iPhoto library is actual a database file, so can sync software actual sync these type?
any help please
cheerrs

First off: you need to clarify your terms. You use sync and back up interchangeably and they are not the same thing.
Syncing: The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
Backing up is a one directional copy: The source is copied to the target.
It sounds like you might mean incremental backing up?
The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
Yes the iPhoto Library needs to sit on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that will rule out using a NAS.

Choose iPhoto Library for iTunes to sync

I have a shared iPhoto library so it can be accessed by multiple accounts on my iMac. I want to sync my photos with my iPhone, but when iTunes opens it finds an old iPhoto Library (that has been deleted) and it says there are 0 photos to sync.
I've gone under the "Choose Folder..." option, but I cannot choose my iPhoto Library from there.
How can I make iTunes see the correct iPhoto library so I can sync my photos to my phone like I want?

I have a shared iPhoto library so it can be accessed by multiple accounts on my iMac.
How is that set up?
Can other apps access iPhoto? For instance, iMovie?

How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial? During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

How can I uninstall a long-ago expired Adobe XI (11.0.06) trial? During the trial, Ver XI installed itself as my "default", which is still making it difficult for me to access the Adobe X (10.1.10) that I previously purchased.

Thanks for your help. I cannot open the application (Acrobat XI) because I did not buy it. Every time I want to open a .pdf, I have to remember to take the extra step of going to "open with" and then select "Acrobat X". When I forget to do that, the XI "default" opens a window that gives me another chance to buy XI -- that's what I want to get rid of. Another approach (perhaps?) would be to change to default setting from "Adobe XI" to Adobe X" (the way it was before I tried the XI trial). But I don't know how to do that.
