My HP 8250 will no tprint photos from iphoto

Hi,
I am a new Mac owner and waited until the new dual core imac came out because I wanted the best computer Apple offered. I also purchased a new HP Photosmart 8250 to go along with it because the imac would not work with my older HP photo printer. Here lies my frustration. The printer said it was compatible with the 1mac and it was even sold in the imac store so I assumed it would be a good choice. I loaded the appropriate drivers for the imac but I could not print any photos. The printer has two trays, one for photo paper and the other for 8x11 printer paper. When I printed from iphoto, it always defaulted to the 8x11. I spent many hours with imac support and HP support. imac support said it was a driver issue with HP and HP said it was a software issue with iphoto because I could print just fine if I used the HPZone software that came with the printer. As it is now, I have a temporary solution from a imac support representative but the solution is totally unacceptable for my wife.
Now if I want to print a photo I have to open iphoto where I can then manipulate it and format it but then I have to save it and remember where I placed so that I can then close iphoto and then open HPZone to reopen the manipulated photo. From there I have to go through no less than 6 steps to tell the computer what paper format I am using and that it must switch from the main tray to the photo tay for the right paper. If I try to do the same with iphoto, I get a "lined out" message saying that iphoto is not compatible with printer and to check for software update. I have downloaded numerous updates to iphot since I purchased it with no resolution and have also checked the HP website but they have no updates of the drivers specifically for OS X v10.4 Right now I am tempted to dumped the dual purpose prnter and buy two diffrent ones so that hopefully iphoto can at least be able to talk to them individually. Has anyone else had these problems. and oh yes...I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers numerous times under the guidance of imac support. My wife won't even use the imac now because it is too complicated and wants a windows pc again.

Seems I acidentally fixed my own problem. I had uninstalled HP Zone and the divers for my Photosmart 8250 in preparation to install a HP Universal driver. Wouldn't you know it, iphoto worked then in finding the photo tray. Seems imac universal driver is good enough. The problem was HP's drivers all along. Stay away from HP Zone photo management software.

  • IDVD 7.0.3 will not import photos from iPhoto

    I created a movie with iMovie 06 and imported it into IDVD 7.0.3. All of my chapters imported fine and I was able to import music from iTunes but when I try to get a photo from iPhoto using the media tab, the program says it is accessing iphoto but the photos do not load (at least in the 10 or so minutes I've waited. Anyone know of a solution?
    Thanks

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 will not accept photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

    To begin with I purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro and messed up somewhere in the installation process.
    I have an iMac
      Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
    With OS X 10.6.8
    iPhoto 8.1.2
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
    and a 13" MacBook Pro
      Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Modle Identifier: MacBookPro 9.2
    With OS X 10.9.3
    AND 2 copies of iPhoto (8.1.2 & 9.5.1) as listed in System Information, which apparently copied over when I copied to MacBook Pro from Time Capsule.
         1. I copied photos from MacBook to the iMac (using a 8 GB Thumb drive) but I was not successful.
              I believe I deleted the photo library on the iMac and tried to copy it back from the MacBook.
         2. When I try to Open iPhoto I get an alert: You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
         You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
    Question 1. How can I return to the original iPhoto program on my iMac?( I have the original iLife DVD).
    Question 2. How can I restore and/or salvage the photos presently on my MacBook Pro and install them on my iMac?

    No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
    You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

  • HT1338 iMovie will not load photos from iPhoto, how do I fix this?

    I am using a brand new MacBook Pro, have read other comments about this problem but found no solution.  What's up with this issue?  I want to make a slide show using iMovie, like I've done dozens of times with my older macs, am having NO luck with this new iMovie.  Paid a lot of $ for this new computer, what's the deal Apple?

    I noticed you have a viewer plugin from that site. Could you check whether it is set to "click to play"? If so, you could try having it always activated.
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Musicnotes Viewer" and if it says "Ask to Activate", change it to "Always Activate". Then return to the site and reload to see whether it works.
    While you are on the Add-ons page... I noticed you have an extension named Media Watch that many users consider unwanted software or even a virus.
    On the Add-ons page, if you click Extensions in the left column, can you find Media Watch remove it?
    If the Remove button is missing, you probably need to remove some software using the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent additions to the top. This typically will reveal that a bundle of (undisclosed) programs was installed along with something you actually wanted. Remove as much as possible here.
    Then you can supplement your regular security software with the scanners/cleaners listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

    iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application.  Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel.  I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

    iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
    iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
    You need to do the following:
    1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application. 
    2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
    3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

  • Itunes v12.1 itunes will not sync photos from photoshop 12

    Since I downloaded itunes v12.1, itunes will not sync photos from Photoshop 12 to my iphone 5, 6+ and older Apple TV (with hard Drive). Prior to the itunes software update, all was well.  itunes indicates "0" photos available from Photoshop when there are over 7,000 photos on my desktop. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling - no success. Perhaps itunes v13 may fix the problem, meanwhile , any suggestions.

    I link to it in th epost above yours.
    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2013/09/download-itunes-11-1.html
    Scroll down to;
    Then click Mac, or whatever one is applicible to you.
    Be warned though. After synced, successfully, with iTunes 11.1, i ended up with over 10GB's of 'Other' data on my iphone. I had to do a factory reset (From iTunes/iPhone/Summary). It's been a pain in the ***, but it all seems fine now. But it has taken me hours. An di now have a headache.
    Also, a factory reset will remove ALL your data, and i mean EVERYTHING! You've spend the rest of the day putting everything back the way you like it, and setting up all your setting again.
    Pain in the ***.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

    I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid."  I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac.  This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5.  I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
    This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others.  I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
    I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto.  I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
    I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient.  Thank you.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • IPhoto states server did not reply so I cannot email photos from iPhoto

    I cannot email photos from iPhoto.  I checked the outgoing mail server and port and they are correct. When I try to email photos the message i'm getting is the server did not reply check your internet connection and try later.. but my internet connection is fine. Any suggestions? I have Yosemite 10.10.3 software installed.

    Do you have two-step verification enabled  and are trying to mail from your iCloud account?
    Then check this solution:
    If you had two-step verification enabled, you have to set up an app-specific password for iPhoto, if you want to use iPhoto as a Mail client.
    See the post below:
    Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
    This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
    I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
    Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
    Click Password and Security in the left column
    Click Generate an app-specific password
    Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
    Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
    And...voila' (I hope)
