My printer prints much darker from iphoto than from another program on another computer

ALL printed photos from this iMac are much too dark when printed but are OK when printed from an older Mac OS 9.2 from any other program.

and said 'unstable environment'
What was the original message, in French, I presume?
Can it be, that you are running out of disk space? If you have less than 10 GB free disk space, free space, before you start to work with your iPhoto library again.
Do you have a backup of your photo library?
If iPhoto has been forcefully quit, you need to repair your iPhoto Library.
Double click the iPhoto Library with the key combination⌥⌘ (alt/option-command) held down.
Keep holding down both the keys, until the "Library First Aid" panel opens.
Select first "Repair database" from the panel and let iPhoto repair the database.
If that does not make your iPhoto library readable again, post back.

Why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N

why i can't import a clip of AVCHD format from iPhoto originaly from my Sony NEX-5N?

Hi there. For anyone searching, here are the results of my research and corresponding advice back to Sony...
Thanks, your comments looked correct but did not solve my problem. You may be interested to know after much testing and research, I was able to ascertain that some of the camera's AVCHD settings iMovie cannot see at all (only some, which made it even harder to figure out!). Plus, if you have recorded movie clips in more than one format to the memory card (MP4 or any one of the AVCHD's), iMovie cannot see any of the AVCHD's.
Bottom line - forgo the benefits of AVCHD on the Sony NEX-5N and just use MP4 until Apple makes it easier.

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

If I barrow an image from iPhoto, that is drag it to another file or the desktop it seems to half disappear. It still shows until I try to enlarge it then I get a triangle exclamation mark in the enlarged field, once I return to Photos or an Album it is

If I barrow an image from iPhoto, that is drag it to another file or the desktop it seems to half disappear. It still shows until I try to enlarge it then I get a triangle exclamation mark in the enlarged field, once I return to Photos or an Album it is there. However it can no longer be dragged into another file. How can I recover these images? Is there a better way to duplicate a image to locate in outside of iPhoto?
I never had this problem in previous versions of iPhoto.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original file.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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.

Photos appear much darker in Lightroom than Photoshop or Picassa

Hi
I've just put Lightroom onto my PC but all the photos I've imported look much darker than when I look at them in either photoshop or picassa.
I have to up the exposure and fill light to get the photos to match how they look in photoshop.
Is there something I need to do to rectify this?
Cheers Rob

That definitely indicates the profile is to blame. If you care about your
prints and how your images look to others, it is a very good idea to buy a
hardware calibrator. Even the cheap ones (Huey Pro, SPyder 2, etc) do a
pretty good job. You really need separate hardware to do this. If you run
Windows 7 or Mac OS X there is a built-in software calibrator that uses your
eyes, but these usually do a pretty poor job.
To test the hypothesis and since you're running windows, try the following.
Open up your monitor's properties pane. Navigate to "color management" and
delete the profile you see there associated with your monitor (probably
called Samsung Natural Color something). Apply the changes and restart
Lightroom. You should now get identical (but wrong since you haven't
actually calibrated) color in both apps. Doing this makes Windows assume
your monitor is sRGB, which is rarely true nowadays. This is better though
than using the corrupt profile.

Why is always cheaper to buy songs from HMV than from iTunes Store?

I really wish to know the reason why is always cheaper to buy the whole CD from HMV than downloading from iTunes Store.
Today I was looking for the Foo Fighters Greatest Hits... to buy it from iTunes Store will cost me £5,99, but the buy the proper CD itself from HMV with free delivery will cost me £3,99, about 40% cheaper than iTunes.
Another good example: 101 Running Songs Lap 2, iTunes Store: £13,99, HMV with free delivery: £7,99
The point is, Apple is not spending a penny when we download it, but to buy the CD itself, there are a whole lot of material included, the CD box, prints, the CD itself, plus P&P and is cheaper.
Something is wrong...

"PS: in this world, nobody do something without making profits. Apple do make a good money with iTunes Store.
http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20100225/apple-billions-of-songs-billions-of-app s-not-much-profit/
Yes. They make a little money from itunes , but the majority are from sales of ipods/iphones/ipads/etc.
"Even at today’s hyper volume, the digital store is still running at “a bit over break-even,” the company reminded analysts during its earnings call last month."
A 99 cent song costs Apple approx. 80 cents from any the online reports that I have seen.
Apple pays for servers and bandwidth, instead of cd's.

How do you disable OS X (when you focus on a window) from auto-focusing on windows from the same (or similar) program on another screen

Hi,
I have what is quickly becoming a major nuisance, I hope someone here knows more than me (hopefully about to change this behaviour..?).
Whenever I click on e.g. excel on one screen, the excel windows in the background on my other screen is automatically brough to the front, hiding the window I actually want to be able to see. And if I have no excel windows on that screen, it will automatically bring e.g. MS word to the front instead.
Does anyone know of a way to disable this extremely annoying behaviour? It seems silly to have to minimize every single window (yes, I have a lot open at any given time, and need to transfer data between several different programs) just to be able to look at windows from two different programs at the same time.
Cheers,
W

this is NOT how apps behave on a Windows PC. There, the different windows of any app focus independently.
Mmm, no, not really. All Windows apps run inside an application frame. Nothing for that app can exist outside the frame. Once you are in the frame of a given app, all of (example) Excel's open documents are also stuck inside the frame. Along with any palettes or other objects for that app. You can take it off full screen display like below, but each app, and everything associated with it is in its own frame.
I mention this to show that you can do the same thing on your Mac. Where you said:
I'm clicking/highlighting to the foreground (this also applies if I use alt+tab in Windows PC; you cycle through every single excel you have open,
The equivalent on the Mac is to press Command+` (same key as the tilde ~, which should be directly above the Tab key). So it's Command+Tab to switch between apps, and Command+` to rotate between open documents within an app.
So anyway, in the same manner you would arrange your Windows apps as shown above so you can see the contents of both apps, you simply arrange your Mac apps' documents the same way. Adjust the size of each open document as necessary so you can see the relevant information.
Just like if a person were going from Mac to Windows, it's "different". Folders, files and apps? All the same concept. Saving and deleting files? Pretty much the same. But if you're very used to one, the other seems odd until the need to think about "simple" steps that aren't performed quite the same way as the OS you're used to becomes habit, and it no longer seems odd anymore.

Print much darker than displayed photo

recently upgraaded to latest Mac system. Using Canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer. When printing image, final print very much darker than displayed on screen! Using LR 4

Epson R300 prints photos very dark and oversaturated

My Epson R300 recently began printing photos much darker and heavily saturated relative to what I see on my monitor. It seems to print ok directly from a CompactFlash. Photos I printed in the past no longer print good. I tried different programs (iPhoto and Photoshop) and print settings. I replaced all cartridges and reset the driver using Print Setup Utility. Any idea what I can try? Thanks.

Have you checked that the ColorSync profiles are OK,
and have not been changed? Use the ColorSync Utility
to check them.
This appears to be a printer problem and not a setup issue. The printer worked good for nearly 2 years. The color isn't just a little off. All colors are very dark like too much ink is being delivered to the paper.
There is a definite red cast to whites in photos. Printing directly from a CF card (bypassing my computer) shows the same problem. I deleted and reinstalled the drivers. Tried all of the various settings. With/without Colorsync, printer color vs photoshop color. Tried iPhoto vs Preview vs Photoshop. Epson Print vs Gimp Print. Replaced all cartiridges. Used different paper types (Glossy Photo, Matte). Very frustrating!

Photosmart 8750 - how to avoid white edges on print? And how to match colors from monitor to print?

Hi all! I´m new here so I hope I ask this in the right forum. Please advice me if this should be in another sub-forum..
First: The white edges around my photos when printed:
I can´t figure out how to avoid the white edges when I print my photos.
If I print in A3 size (or any other size) there´s always the white edges around my photos on the print, and it´s really annoying.
I make the size in Photoshop (CS4 extended) so that the photo matches the size of the printing paper, but still it gets adjusted when printing so I get the white edges.
I either print directly from PS or from Windows Photoviewer. (I have Windows 7).
In PS in the printing dialog box it says Scale to fit media, when I tick this and also have the Show Paper White ticked, it appears that the photo goes exactly as the size is set, but then I can see a thin white edge on top of it, illustrating that the photo will be printed with a white edge on top. If I untick the Scale to fit media, the photo appears to be cut a great deal before printed, so this will destroy my image.
I usually print from Windows Photoviewer as the colours in PS turns out more different than when saved and printed from Windows. (My next question). In Windows Photoviewer I only have the option Fit to frame, but in the preview it doesn´t look like any of those two options will give a borderless print.
In the printers dialoge box for the Paper/Quality I only use the option for A3 HP glossy photopaper, but I see there are other options such as Photo without edges A3, but then the size says 423x303mm which is slightly bigger than the size of the photo.
Also there´s a box to tick under it, Print without edges and under it Automatic fit without edges.
Is it something here I should tick or untick?
What options should I use to get it to print and fill the whole paper?
Second: How to get the same colours on my print as it shows on my monitor?
I have tried figuring out this, but I gave up. Though I know there´s something about the Profile´s, just not how to set them..
As already said, the colours looks quite different when printed directly from PS than saved as .jpg and printed from Windows Photoviewer. In colours the print is closer to the actual colours when printed from Windows than from PS, but BW photos is quite far from as seen on the monitor when printed, from both of them.
Instead of this nice warm "brownish" hue seen on my monitor, it´s printed with a greenish hue. Really annoying as I spend a lot of time working on my photos to get them as I like.
In the printer´s dialog box (in Windows) I have disabled the ICM colour management.
In PS dialog box I´m sure there´s something to do different under the Color Management, but I don´t know what.
Also there´s probably something different in my monitor´s profile that differs from the printer and PS?
Anyone who can help with either one or both of my problems??
That would be highly appreciated so thanks so much in advance!

Printer prints wrong hue

I have an HP Deskjet D1520 printer. It prints colors much darker than what I see on the screen. For example, when I have chosen the standard bright blue found in most programs I get a deep navy blue on the printed sheet. I am using the recommended HP cartridge (HP-22). What can I do to rectify this problem?

IPhoto: copying from library to finder

Hi everybody,
How do i copy pictures from iPhoto library to Finder?
For all of my pics option "copy" (cmd+c) is available. I do it. Cmd+c from iPhoto, than cmd+v in Finder - voile- pic copied.
Some pics are copied this way. Most is not. For those pics, i press copy, the "edit" on top of the screen blinks for a sec, than i cmd+v in finder and the pic is not copied. Nothing hapens.
There is no rule. Some of the pics from one album copy, some won't.
I own macbook late 2008 with Mavericks. In iPhoto preferences i checked copy pics to iPhoto library.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Ted

I can't upload photos to facebook from iPhoto 11 (9.4.3) Message says :"An unknown error occurred, please try again later"

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" Retina with OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (just did the combo update)
iPhoto 11 (9.4.3) is installed and freshly updated.
I used to share photos from iPhoto directly from my previous computer (a 2009 MacBook Pro running OSX Leopard).
It doesn't seem to work anymore on my new computer. When I try to connect to facebook, I keep having the same message :"An unknown error occurred, please try again later".
I am in China, where Facebook is blocked, but I have a VPN on (Astrill), simulating a connection from LA. I have no problem at all to access Facebook from Chrome, Safari and Skype.
I am sure that I am typing the right username and password.
I made sure iPhoto wasn't blocked in my facebook app settings.
I tried to delete the account, closing iPhoto and relaunching. It still does not work.
I tried to delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist from Library/Preferences (as suggested on another thread in this forum). It didn't do anything.
It is getting very frustrating and I really don't want to throw my new computer through the room. Anyone managed to solve this issue ?
Thanks.

It is peculiar, that Chrome, Safari, and Skype can access FB, but not the iPhoto uploader.
Do you see any error messages/ diagnostics in the Console Window, when you try to connect to Facebook?
Launch a Console window from Applications > Utilities and clear the Console Window. Then try to upload. Are there any new messages?
And also launch a Terminal and have a look, if "facebook.com" is properly resolved:
Type
ping facebook.com
into the window. Do you see any transmissions? What is the IP address used?
I see:
