Moving a merged library created with iPhoto Library Manager

I merged two iPhoto libraries with iPhoto Library Manager 3.5.5 on an external hard disk using an iMac. I have tried to move the new merged library to the internal disk on my laptop, as I wish to travel taking all my photos (about 28,500). However, every time I try to move or copy the merged library it stops after copying about 123 MB (of about 62GB) and I get the following message:
"You can’t copy “Merged Library” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."
The "same name" reference is to the file it makes every time before copying, which I erase before trying again. What am I doing wrong? How can I transfer this new merged library to my laptop?
Thank you.

Ok, so how do I correct for this. I ran Time Machine to back up my computer, sent it in to be repaired, and now I want to Restore my stuff. I get that error, but the only thing I've done to the drive is reformatted using Snow Leopard, and didn't see such choices go by. I just want my stuff restored. Can someone explain the difference between "case-sensitive/journaled" and "journaled", and how to change back. Where are these choices?

I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto.

I am unable to order a book created with iPhoto. It has never happened to me before and I have ordered plenty of books in the past few years. Any ideas why the order button is suddenly greyed out?

Slideshow created with iphoto will not burn with idvd

I cannot seem to burn dvd using idvd. slideshow created with iphoto

I'm having the same problem after upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3. Read below:
Until recently I was running 10.1.5 using iphoto 2 to burn folders of photos within a library. After upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3 I get a message: “The burn to the ARCHOS MiniCDRW XS8432 drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.”
Actually, I got another message before I installed patchburn 3.1.2. After installing patchburn 3.1.2 for 10.3.X, system profiler recognized my burner and says it is supported but the above message is displayed after the program has stopped the process.
Toast Titanium 5.2.1 burns CD’s just fine but when a CD with an iphoto library is inserted into the CD-ROM the iphoto program will not recognize it. In other words, it won’t show up in iphoto as an iphoto library or anything for that matter. Maybe there’s a way to do this in Toast or maybe I need something else to make iphoto work with my burner.
Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Moving a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop

Any idea how to move a photo book created in iphoto from a laptop to a desktop in order to do some editing before submitting to apple for purchase? Iphoto on laptop is version 4.0 or 5.0. Desktop version has 8.0.
Any suggestions appreciated.

There's only one way to do it.
iPhoto stores your books etc within the main database file. There is no way to transfer this to another library. You'll need to copy the entire library to bring it to a machine with an internet connection.
Here's a tip: duplicate the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder. Then, hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue select 'Choose Library' and open the Copy library. From these, delete any pics not in a book etc - put them in the iPhoto trash and empty it (iPhoto menu -> Empty Trash). That way you'll only bring the minimum you need with you to the machine with the internet connection.
However, beware - there's no guarantee the the book template you're using in v4 (or v5) is the same - or even available - in v7 (iLife 08)

How to recover a book created with iphoto

Hi!!! I need all your help instructing me on where I can find and how I can recover manually from a Time Machine backup a book created in iphoto....??? Thanks!!!

you can not "recover a book" - a book is just entries in the iPhoto database and you ahve to recover the entire iPhoto database that has the book in it
launch TM and go back to the time you want to recover and click recover - it generally is best to select the option to keep both versions so you do not overwrite your current library
You can switch between libaries by doing an option-launch and using the select library option

Need to reprint photo book created with iPhoto & My Publisher

I created two photo books in December of 2006 via iPhoto and used the My Publisher plugin to use that service for output. Anyway, I gave the book as a gift and now I would like to make a copy for myself. The problem is that My Publisher cannot reprint these books... this was verified today by one source at MP.
So, what are my options, I strongly prefer the MP option (that's not available) because I wanted an exact copy and the price is right (about half of what Apple charges last I checked).
BTW: These two books were created with two different versions of iPhoto... maybe v5 & v6.
Thanks,
Robert

So, what are my options,
If My Published will not reprint for you then that is not a choice
So your choices are to order from Apple or redo the book for some other source of your choice

Books are not saved when created with iPhoto 09

When creating a book, everything is normal but the book is not saved in the computer. So I have to finish the project and order It. The name of the book is still listed on the left but there's no photos or text. I also have a book that seems corrupted because when i try to open the file iphoto jams and i'm not able to remove the corrupted book because the file can't be opened.
Please help me

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sounds like a damaged database file. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

TS3999 Why are my photos not showing in my web journal that I created with iPhoto?

I Created many journals in the past with no problem this weekend I created a new journal and when I access the website the photos do not appear., only grey squares with my notes the date and the weather. I visited the apple Genius Bar and they could not help. They said maybe it is a problem with the Apple Server. apple.com server website shows no problems with their server. Help please

I've been experiencing the same problem. Both new and old web journals do not display properly. Most photos are gray squares, but if I hit refresh I am sometimes able to partially view the album. This problem occurs both within iPhoto and in various web browsers.
iPhone and iPad with iOS 7.1.2, and iPhoto 2.0.1

Hi, how do I save the photo calendar I created with iPhoto?

Before ordering your calendar preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered calendar will match it.

Large books created with iPhoto

Hello, I am disappointed by the book I ordered abt. 6 month ago. The pciture no not appear fantastic and the paper quality is too light. Do you know whether there is any improvement in the pipeline ?

1 - this is strictly a user to user forum so no one here has any "special" information
2 - Apple does not discuss upcoming items so it is unlikely that anyone has information about future changes if any
3 - very few people have had issues with the books - in fact most people are thrilled - did you contact Apple with your concerns? http://www.apple.com/chfr/support/photoservices/product_troubleshooting/
4 - The paper is documented and you can verify that it meets your needs in advance - http://www.apple.com/chfr/support/photoservices/product_specs/

Copying Recovery Media (Herstelmedia) created with HP recovery manager

I've lately created 'Recovery Media' using HP recovery manager. The back-up is stored on a USB, but I want to copy the back-up to another USB in order to use the first USB again. Is it possible to easily move the back-up from an USB to another? Thanks!

Hi @CasparQ ,
Thank you for your query.
As you are allowed to only create one set of recovery material, I do not think that you will be able to copy to another USB stick.
To verify this I suggest contacting HP support for confirmation.

Problem with iPhoto or Aperture when I want to export a large slideshow

Hello,
I have a big problem when I want to export a large slideshow is created with iPhoto or Aperture. After ten minutes, my iMac off and then restart. I tried several times but the problem again.
I said that this slideshow contains photos and videos.
thank you

That can be caused by many things - try to narrow down, what is happening:
Does your slideshow have a problem?
Do the media in your slideshow have a problem?
Does your Aperture library need fixing?
A problem with your user account?
Video codecs?
Aperture?
Your Mac OS X?
Your Hardware?
Check, if you can export slideshows at all from your Aperture library. Create a new, emty slideshow for experimenting and add one video, an audio clip and one or two photos. Try to export. Does that work?
If yes, duplicate your original slideshow and delete half of the photos from it. can you export now? Continue to find the video or image that does not work.
If no slideshow can be exported from your current library try to create a simple test slidesho in a different library. Does it work?
Post back with your results.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD
