N-Up Printing Gone from iPhoto '08

I sure hope Apple brings this feature back but "N-Up" printing has been removed from iPhoto '08. It's a feature we used almost exclusively when printing from previous versions. I was able to tweak the size of the prints to get 16 on a page (we print on 13x19 paper) but when you use a custom size, the photos don't correctly size and definitely do not orient themselves correct (Portrait vs Landscape.)
I see this as a significant feature omission and I hope Apple adds it back in a maintenance release very soon.

This Apple support page for iPhoto 7 indicates that the contact sheet can be customized in a similar way to N-up:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/7.0/en/6438.html
But the words "In edit print project view, drag the Columns slider to increase or decrease the number of columns" do not make any sense to me. There is no column slider available. I would like to print the contact sheet as 2 columns but there is no way I can find to do this.
I did find that the Settings button allows me to delete the file names from the contact sheet (or add dates, which is more useful for my purposes).

    This is very upsetting.  ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened, and how can I get them back?

    Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?

  • I can no longer print photos from iPhoto.

    When I try to print photos from iPhoto, I get the error message:  There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. The solution offered by iPhoto help is ridiculous as it assumes that you can get past the error message and on to the option to choose a theme. No so.  The error message is the end of the road.  This is a new problem for me.  Apparently there was an automatic update and now I am updated to no longer being able to print my own photos. Apparently (according to traffic on Google) this is not a new issue, but I haven't seen a solution.  Can't deny that I am royally ****** off.

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,

    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

  • Printing problems from iPhoto 6

    For some odd reason I just can not print anything from iPhoto 6, it goes through the processes of printing, then brings up the Printer utility as if it's ABOUT to print, but then it fails and the Printer utility simply goes to "Jobs Stopped" without any further details as to WHY it stopped.
    I can however print from all other apps, and even saving image to PDF, then print the PDF from Preview works...

  • Why do i get lines when i print photos from iphoto

    does anyone know why i get lines across my photos when i print them from iphoto to my HP printer. Photos are ok when i print from iphone or other? seems to have something to do with Iphoto??

    Go to your imports for the last 12 months then click on view>sort photos by date, that should group them together.  Click on the first picture in the group, then hold down your shift key then click on the last picture it should select all in between, then delete and empty trash.

    What size if the Library as indicated in the Finder?  If it's large enough to be holding your photos then your photos are probably still in there but the library is damaged.  If the tags you used indicate iLife 11 then try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option             
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If the above falils to recover your photos continue with this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Pictures are gone from iPhoto

    All of my pictures seem to be gone from iPhoto. I can see them as an icon when go to "open" in PhotoShop, but iPhoto has nothing in its library.

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

  • Reverse & Print Image from iPhoto?

    How do I reverse/flip an image and print it from iPhoto?
    I tried another way as well....I have been able to save to desktop from iphoto....view in Preview & flip that image using Preview Tools, but I am unable to print the reversed image from Preview.
    So, the ultimately question remains...*Can you reverse an image in iPhoto and print it?*
    Thanks!

    Below is the thread you suggested that I follow. I was able to set Preview as the external editor, flip the image and save it to iPhoto. The image is now correct when I view it from iPhoto. However, when I try to print the edited image, which is still under the preview option, it pulls the original image from iPhoto.
    How do I print the edited version of the image?
    Thanks!
    "The easiest way to do this is in the Tools menu in Preview. You can set Preview as an external editor, or use an image editor for the job.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway."

  • Hi!  I am trying to print pictures from iPhoto.  I follow the directions and select a photo and click file-print-but it doesn't give me any size/printing options.  Instead I get a message that says "no themes available".  Do I need to install themes?

    Hi-I am trying to print pictures from iphoto.  I selected a picture and tried file-print.  But instead of giving me size/layout options, it gave me a message, "no available themes".  Not sure what to do next--something I need to install?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

    When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

    Brad
    What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
    When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

  • Why when I print photos from iphoto are they grainy ? They did not used to be.

    When I print from Iphoto they are grainy, they did not previously. In other programs they are fine, so it is not the printer,

    What version of iPhoto? What are the pixel dimensions of the photos? what is the size of the print?

  • Can't Print Book from iPhoto or Preview, but Can Print from Adobe Accrobat

    I have spent 2.5 hours on the phone with HP, an am now unsure if the problem is with HP or Apple.
    When I try to print a single page from an iPhoto Book (or a group of pages), I receive an error message on the HP 4650 printer (49.4C02). I saved the book as a PDF and tried to print from Preview with the same results. I then opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat and WAS able to print. I am able to print individual photos from iPhoto.
    I searched this discussion board for problems printing to the HP 4650. One suggestion was to use the driver for the HP 4600. I tired that and it produced the same error on the printer.
    Using Adobe Acrobat is a viable work-a-round, but I am curious why I cannot print a book from iPhoto. Any thoughts as to why Adobe Acrobat works and iPhoto and Preview do not?
    Thanks,
    -Dale

    HP has _ a firmware release that addresses this error _ - have you installed it?

  • Help! All pictures gone from iPhoto!

    I opened iPhoto today and it said zero pictures... none, all gone! I did some hunting around, after catching my breath, and found a bunch of the numbered folders with pictures in them through the my "pictures" in the finder... but iPhoto will not show any. They were all there yesterday when I shutdown and first thing today... gone from the liblary, along with all my folders that they were orginized into! All I can do is open then one at a time now and that's no fun. Any ideas as to what is up????

    Hi artboy,
    You can try launching iPhoto with the Option key held down and choose to open another library. Navigate to your library, highlight it and click "open" Hopefully it will open your library.
    When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
    If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
    Open library
    Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.
    If it doesn't open or still shows no photos you might have to create a new library and import the photos from the old.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "open" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!
    If you have a recent backup of the entire iPhoto Library folder then drag the old iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and rename it iPhoto Library_old. Drag the backup iPhoto Library folder (make sure it is named iPhoto Library)
    into the Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.
