My iPhoto wishlist. [You listening Apple?]

FIRST: When importing photos. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give me the option to NOT have the photos copied to the Pictures folder on my hard drive. This is a great feature if you're a soccer mom and don't mind your snapshots clogging your hard drive, but I'm NOT a soccer mom and I DON'T want my photos on my hard drive. I archive my photos to DVD and only use iPhoto to catalog my files.
In iTunes, I can import an entire album and not have the files loaded into my Music folder so why isn't this possible with my photos?
SECOND: Keywords interface needs some tweaks.
1. In the Info window (the one that opens when you hit APPLE>i and not the button at the bottom left corner of the screen that should open the window you get when you hit APPLE>i, but it doesn't - why?)...anyway, under the Keywords menu in the info window...when I've got more than one keyword selected for a photo and I want to uncheck JUST ONE of the boxes, they all get unchecked thus removing all the keywords from my photo. Not good and not how this interface should work. Just a heads up.
2. Let me organize my list of keywords alphabetically or chronologically...PLEASE! Don't make me go in there manually and move keywords around when every other corner of the Mac UI can be organized automatically.
THIRD: Give me password protection somehow so I can keep people out of certain libraries that I don't want everyone to have access to.
OK, that's all I can think of. Thanks. marty

Gracias, Jan. Actually, I've been messing with the Keywords issue and I found a way around the problem I was having with the checked boxes in the info window.
You have to be in the main Library to successfully change any of the Keyword settings. You can't have any of the Keyword buttons down in the bottom left corner selected when you make any changes in the info window.
I would still consider this a usability problem. Why can't I narrow the field down to images I know have a certain keyword(s) before I add or remove keywords? I don't want to scan through my entire library of photos looking for the ones I want to edit the keywords on.

  • APPLE -- are you listening? We can't burn CDs!

    I have spent a lot of hours trying to burn an audio CD, to no avail. I just wondered if Apple had considered that people will refuse to buy music from iTunes if we can't burn audio CDs.
    I'm desperately needing to burn ONE song onto a CD. I bought it from iTunes, but now I have to go and find the CD at a store somewhere. Do you suppose Apple will give me my money back?
    This is really frustrating!!!
    (Oh,I've checked every help system Apple provides, in case you're wondering. Nothing works.)
    IBM Thinkpad   Windows XP  

    Did it all. Updated windows. Uninstalled iTunes and Quick Time. Cleaned out temp files, etc. Reinstalled iTunes and Quick Time. Changed burn speed to 4x. Used new discs of a different brand.
    It ACTS like it is writing... goes through each song as if it is burning the CD. CD drive runs. Ends up showing the "finished" CD in the pane on the left in iTunes (just above the playlists.
    However... the disc is still empty! Nothing on it when you look at it in "My Computer" or "iTunes" or Windows Media player. This is downright depressing. There is so much music... so little time!! Help!
    I can import purchased CDs just fine, by the way.
    Oh... and thanks for sticking with me on this. I know there are probably a fair number of people with the same problems...

  • Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

    Anyone has print out the iPhoto album book by apple after finish editing? May I check is the quality good? I have compiled my photo album book , choosen hard cover option , 100 pages , estimated cost is US150. Not sure worth to print out or not?

    All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures  the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos. 
    As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems. 
    To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.

  • How can you listen to music without headphones?

    How can you listen to music without headphones?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    What did I do wrong?  I have been downloading all my photos into this same library since Janurary with no problems.

    What version of Mac OS X?
    Click the black Apple icon on the top left of the screen and select About This Mac. The next screen will show the information.

  • How to change the iPhoto '08 shop to Apple UK?

    I'm looking to purchase some items from iPhoto, however, although my Mac is set to the UK region, I keep being directed to the American website - how can I change it so that the UK website opens?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The general URL for Apple in the UK is http://www.apple.com/uk/. Go there and click on the Store button. Once you're at the store there's an account link that will let you log into your account and setup your billing and 1-click purchasing. Check all of your account information, reenter and save. Next close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
    Now launch iPhoto and see if you can get to the UK site for purchases.
    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 or later), 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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Can you use apple tv on 2009 mac

    can you use apple tv on a 2009 mac . I have Mac OS X (10.7.5 running

    Yes but it will probably be too old for Airplay mirroring of the Mac's display but should work fine for sharing photos from iPhoto/Aperture or playing compatibl media from your local iTunes library with iTunes running.
    For many features AppleTv does not need a computer at all.

  • Hello? Skype are you listening? We want more PRI...

    For several years we have been asking for more privacy.  I have my privacy settings set to keep no history, yet even after clearing the chat history, the chat sessions continue to reappear on other devices.
    Many, many, many users have complained about this.  Back in 2011, a Skype support agent said acknowledged the problem and said that it would take some time to correct.  How much more time do you need?
    Are you listening to your users?  Or just defending your poor software privacy?

    Hello Apple are you listening ?
    Usually: No, as this is only a user2user board.
    You may want to contact iTMS CS through email instead.

  • Can you revert back to iPhoto once you updated to Photos

    Can you revert back to iPhoto once you updated to Photos?

    Can you revert back to iPhoto once you updated to Photos?
    The update to Photos leaves iPhoto installed, and also lets the iPhoto Library compatible with iPhoto. It creates a new Photos Library, that is sharing the photos with the iPhoto Library, so it will not need much extra space. You can use both libraries independently of each other. Edits you do in either library will not be visible in the other.
    Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
    Just do not uninstall iPhoto or delete the library, if you want an option to revert back. Also, make a full backup before doing the upgrade.

    Try
    Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
    Then try:
    Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
    Log in and update to 10.6.8
    c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
    reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

  • How do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad?  I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.

    You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
    Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
    You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
    Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
    In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days.
