Need Help Ordering Photos

Hello. I am having trouble getting my photos in order on my New Ipod 20G.
The photos always appear in a different order on the ipod than they do in the window on my pc. I have tried naming in them in order etc, but they are always mixed up when they appear on the ipod. If anyone could explain how to order photos on the ipod, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Here is one way I discovered to deal with this problem. Make a separate sub-folder under the main folder you use to sync photos with i-Tunes. When you update your iPod it will copy this folder and it's contents. If you have a specific order you want the photos in, use a number or letter prefix in the name or some other sequential naming convention. (for example I used 01_filename.jpg, 02_filename.jpg, etc.) If you start your slideshow from this sub-folder, it will display in descending alpha-numeric order.
The photos will also show up in the folder the iPod creates by default in its default order, which seems to be first in/first out. I haven't determined whether this means there are two copies of the photo on the iPod or not.
Hope this helps.

Need help putting photos on my iPad

Trying to put scanned photos on my iPad. I have tried iTunes but under devices there is no photos to select. Need help.

Photos doesn't appear on the left-hand sidebar under Devices, it appears on the right-hand side in a similar way as for selecting and syncing music, apps etc
If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

Need help uploading photos

I have been unable to upload photos from iphoto. All I get is the event titles! I need help...

Yes, it's possible to use both, but not that way. That command will make duplicates of all your iphoto images, so you don't want to do that.
For now, you have two choices.
1. Set PSE as your external editor in iphoto ( iphoto>preferences>advanced):
and send the photos from iphoto to PSE. If you set the PSE editor preferences>saving files>on first save to save over the existing file, iphoto will remember you latest edits + the original.
If you do this, be sure to choose the right file as your editor. You want this one, in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files:
Or
2. You can export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the Editor, edit and save your changes and then reimport them to iphoto as new images. The advantage of this is that you can change the name and format if you want and you can save as many versions as you like. iPhoto only keeps one version--if you edit again, the new version replaces the one it was keeping.

Need help organizing photos

I need help organizing my photos. Over the years, my Mac has collected photos in many different locations, many different folders, both on the internal and an external hard drive. What I need is the best and easiest software for: 1) searching multiple hard drives to find all photo (and video) files; 2) identifying and removing all duplicates; and 3) putting all photo and video files into a single organized folder in a location that I specify. There are lots of products out there, but I can't seem to be able to figure out which one is the best, and which one will do exactly what I need it to do. Any suggestions from the community?

Import the photos into iPhoto and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to find and eliminate duplicates

I need help finding photos just downloaded to Lightroom...they only show up in "previous downloads" and not in a folder in my pictures

I need help finding phots just downloaded to lightroom...they only show up in "prevoious downloads" and not in a folder in my pictures. what can I do to correct this?

Also, please be aware that Lightroom is not a file browser like your operating system Finder or Explorer is. If the photos are not in the folder you expected them to be in, it is because you (accidentally) imported them into a different folder.

Need help with Photo Stream

I am having issues with Photo Stream and iPhoto when the iPhoto library is stored on a Drobo NAS. When I access the library stored on the NAS I see Photo Stream on the menu and when I access the library I get a message that tells me I need to switch Photo Stream to this Library. I did select to switch Photo Stream over to this NAS library and I did get a big blue button that is suppose to start Photo Stream but when I push it nothing happens.
I have contacted Apple support and they said that this is the way Photo Stream works and recommended that I submit a request to have this feature added at Apple\Feedback, if it is something I would like to have. They said if enough people request this feature they will add it but that Photo Stream does not currently support an iPhoto library stored on a remote NAS or shared network drive.
My question is has anyone found a work around for this? If you would like to have this feature added to Photo Stream can you please submit your request to Apple so they will add it, perhaps a little sooner than later?

I checked today and this issue has been solved with the latest iPhoto update from Apple. I am running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my Snow Leopard Server which is sharing a Drobo NAS. I am also running iPhoto 9.2.3 on my MBP running Lion and I can now open my iPhoto Library and Photostream will work with the library and even automatically create events and move all my Photostream pictures into these events within the Library. I can then close the Library on my MBP and open the same Library from my Snow Leopard server and the new Events are there and I can move them around with no problem. Thank you Apple for this fix. Even though I cannot deal with Photostream directly from the Snow Leopard server this is a very eligant work around.

Need help undoing photo transfer from iPhone 4s.

Hello gang, I need some help with a photo transfer as things have gone awry!
I had ~100 photos in my Camera Roll on my 4s. Went to transfer these to a PC, as usual; however, I did (2) thiings differently this time:
(a) did this directly to a USB (instead of to my hard drive first).
(b) Instead of my normal 'copy/paste/delete' I did a 'cut/paste' in order to save a step.
Well, lo and behold, these are now on my USB but each at 1KB size and when I go to view I get the message "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Viewer." My PC is running Windows 7, and right now I have about 100 photos that are not accessible. I am not able to 'copy' back to the iPhone and at this point they are lost.
I am curious if copying directly to the USB instead of to my hard drive has generated this issue, although I do not understand why. I have plugged in the USB to other PCs and photos are still not readable, nor are the photos still present in my Camera Roll. Please tell me these are not gone?!
Help!

Please, try "Photo Transfer WiFi" or "Sync Photos to Storage" from the App Store. Does it solves your problem?
I recommend you the second app. It allows you to send all your Camera Roll photos and videos to the desktop in one tap!

Need help - downloading photos to portable hard drive

I've imported about 2000 photos from my iPhone to my Macbook Air. I want to export them now to a portable hard drive but it's saying I don't have enough memory. I was planning on deleting the photos on the MacAir afterwards anyway.
Two questions:
1.) How do I move these photos to my portable hard drive, so I can then delete them on the hard drive?
2.) How do I bypass downloading to the MacAir next time, and move photos right from iPhone to portable hard drive?
I'm tech savvy on all things Windows, and have had Macs in the past, so I'm ready to pull my hair out over these novice questions.
Help!

Have your recipients given you any more info than you've given us? The simplest thing for you to do is to capture your footage, get it in a timeline, then export as a QuickTime movie, which should be around 9 or 10 GB in size. Your PC friend would need to download QuickTime in order to view it.
There are tools available to convert to Windows Media or other formats. One of the best is MPEG Streamclip, which you can download here:
http://www.squared5.com/
You'll need to be certain to format the hard drives properly (do this in Disk Utility): Mac OS Extended for your Mac friend, MS-DOS for your PC friend. There are issues with some PC drives and files over 2GB, so you may need to break your QuickTime movie into 9-minute segments.

Need help migrating photos (and hopefully album books) from iphoto6 to iPhoto '11

hello all and thanks in advance for your help !
Just purchased a new 21.5' iMac on Friday, and have been successfully moving data etc from my existing (5-year old) iMac running OS X (10.6.8) to my new iMac using an ethernet connection.
I now need to move our 12,000 photos from the old iMac, and it currently has iPhoto 6 (ver 6.0.6 (322)) on it. My wife created three large "album books" which we have not been able to order because we have iPhoto 6, and the books are no longer supported on iPhoto6. I didn't upgrade that computer to iPhone 9x which I believe does allow books because I knew we were going to get the new iMac.
So my question : is it possible to migrate the photos as well as the existing folders, albums, and especially the BOOKS to our new iMac ?? My wife REALLY doesn't want to recreate three years' worth of books !
Thanks in advance for your replies - Jeff

For the record - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
Book have changed a lot since iPhoto 6 and may not convert well though

Need help ordering pictures and calenders

When I try to order pictures or calendars from IPhoto nothing happens, I mean nothing… it does not ask me to login, it doesn't bring up the spinning wheel, it doesn't hang or freeze, it’s as if I never clicked the button. I’ve tried using the button near the lower right corner that says “order prints”, I’ve tried using the button from the drop down menu at the top, same result, nothing… any ideas? I have ordered pictures in the past with no problems… no I’m trying to order for Xmas and…!Anyone have any ideas?

dthrasher:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again. If that doesn't help log into another account on your Mac and see if those buttons work over there. Just create a temp library add a few photos and try to order. You can abort the process at any time after you determine whether the buttons work or not.
If they don't work in the other account you may have to reinstall iPhoto. If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If they do work in the other account it may be a bad preference file (other than iPhoto's) that's the culprit. Here's how to check that out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

Need help making photo page look clean,Time to show up on Google? Photoshop

Just bought this Mac 2 days ago and am trying to make the switch. I was computer illeterate on my Dell as well but so far this program is pretty neat. I am trying to get my photo page cleaned up. I would like all the photos in a single row across the page with only one photo displayed underneath. I have seen a few demos with that done but I cannot figure it out. Ideally a slideshow would start automatically but I really just want a cleaned up page vs. a blob of photos.
My site is http://www.greasysideup.com
The picture demo is here http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#album - the scuba picture on the far right of the iweb showcase is the look I am going for.
Additionally how long does it take to show up on a google search? I am following one of the listings on here on how to do that. On the google search pages there is a brief description of the page as well, I believe it is the title page. How do I make Google say how cool my site is? if it ever shows up on google?
Last question - is there a program on my Mac similar to photoshop? I want to do some simple 3-d looking text angled slightly as if it is coming out of the screen with my name and the name of my business.
The other thing I want to do is take this picture, make the background black and make the planes orange or red then put those in the background on one of the pages.
/Users/joshwilson/Downloads/Yak50_profile.jpg
(I need to learn to post a jpg in the forums as well I guess!!) The photo is the last one on my website photo page labeled Yak 50_profile. I want to make the background black and the outline orange.
Thanks for all the help. This site is great! I think I'll be glad I made the Mac Switch.

Need help placing photo image in laptop screen of a video...

I have footage that is both zooming and panning, and need a photo image to fit within the laptop screen space during the duration of the pan/zoom. Should I use "Track Motion" accompanied with key-framing in 2D? Does this make sense? Is there an easier way to achieve this, or is that the way to go?
Here is a rough take of the clip of which I speak. In reality, we will be placing the same image on both the HDTV and the laptop in the shot. Hopefully, this will make what I have said above a little more clear. Hope you can help. Thanks much.

If you have CS4 then I would recommend using Mocha for AE (a planar tracking software from imagineers system that comes bundled with AE CS4). It's basically designed for the kinds of stuff you described. There are some helpfull tutorials on the imagineer systems's website:

[OT] Need Help Tweaking Photos in Photoshop

Although I know Photoshop fairly well, I am a novice in this general area of tweaking photos ... and could use some help.
I have some inferior photos that I would like to do my best to fix up in Photoshop CS2. Many of them somehow turned out quite faded ... I am not sure why.
I have posted one of these photos as an example on the Web. I would be interested in finding out the best quick way to tweak these pictures and make them more presentable. Feel free to just take a look or, if you would like, download the photo into Photoshop and let me know the best way to proceed.
Location:
http://www.brainbeast.com/pic/
- I have fooled with :
Image - adjustments - levels ... and moved the left and right arrows to the edge of the data areas and that seems to help ... however I'm not sure what to do with the Middle arrow - etc...
- Also - I fooled around with the exposure adjustment and also the shadow/highlight adjustment ... however from my limited knowledge - they all sort of seem to do the same thing - and I'm not sure which method or combination of techniques is best.
Q: Can someone help give me some suggestions as to how to proceed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated - RevDave

I find that using the Levels control (Command-L) is a little more intuitive than the Curves. I would seem to have problems with dragging the right direction but that's my issue. The Levels has an auto button that will get you very close to what mebs produced. You can then move the sliders to fine tune it.
Both ways will clean up the photo. It's just which way you're more comfortable with. Good luck.
Do you Twango?

Need help moving photos to external drive

Hi, all--here's hoping one or more of you Aperture veterans can help.
Here's my situation: I'm not new to photography, but I'm new to Aperture. Just bought 3.3 and still getting to know what it can do. I'm an emigre from iPhoto, and one of the reasons I upgraded within Apple is that I was tired of the non-intuitive nature of PS Elements. I like to take pictures, not spend endless time in the dim glow of a screen digging through sub-menus for stuff, and from what I read, Aperture seemed more intuitive.
But now I've got a seemingly very basic problem that hours of poring over discussion threads and searching through the hundreds of pages of the manual has done little to address with any clarity:
How do I move (not just copy) older photos in projects to external drives, but in such a way that Aperture still keeps track of them, even when the drives are not connected? (The Aperture marketing I read/viewed clearly said Aperture could do this, and I'm running out of space on my MacBook Pro (15" from about 2008, running Lion) with lots of CF cards piling up.)
Info that may help:
-I need to move not just original (imported into iPhoto directly from the camera) photos, but also those I've adjusted in Elements, then re-exported into iPhoto (I would say "and now into Aperture," but as you know, there's no longer an import process b/w iPhoto and Aperture).
-I shoot mostly RAW.
-I have no idea whether the pictures are "Referenced" or "Managed" (for space reasons, I have yet to import any files directly into Aperture; all existing photos are from iPhoto, and if I was given an option when I set up Aperture, I don't now recall it).
-I have external drives with plenty of space to move older pix to (I also have multiple backups, including Time Machine, additional external hard drives, and DVDs)
Can somebody who knows how to do this safely please explain in clear language how to move photos as projects onto external hard drives so that Aperture keeps track of them via viewable thumbnails, even when the photo files themselves live on a hard drive that is not connected at the time?
Thanks in advance!

First things first:
You can easily check if an image is managed or referenced by ctrl-clicking on an image version and selecting "Locate referenced files...". If Aperture says "No Referenced Files", your originals are managed by Aperture and stored within the library itself, otherwise it should show you the location of the original, and give you some options to verify the references and so on. I don't know which method is used when importing from iPhoto.
Now, here's something you need to ask yourself:
Does it make more sense for you to keep the library on your laptop and the originals on an external drive, or does it make more sense to move both the library and the originals to the external drives?
In the first case, you can open and look at the thumbnails, but there's not a whole lot else you can do with your images when the external drive is off line.
If you have vast amounts of originals, spread across multiple drives, it might make sense to keep the library on your laptop and connect whichever external drive you need at the time. However, it might also make more sense to split such a huge library into mutiple libraries, stored with their respective originals (which could be either managed or referenced).
In my case, it makes sense to keep multiple libraries, with managed originals, but your mileage may vary.
Here's a tip that might help you decide: A small library is quicker to navigate and work with than a huge one, although performance has improved vastly with later versions of Aperture.
Once you have decided on the appropriate organization, you can start moving things around (after you've created the appropriate backups):
If your library contains all managed originals already, and you want to move the entire library off to the external drive:Simply drag and drop the library itself (using Finder) to the new location.
If your library use referenced originals, and you want to keep it that way, or your library manages your originals, and you want to start using referenced originals:
Select all your images
Click on the File menu and select Relocate Originals...
Locate the destination for your originals, and pay special attention to the "Subfolder Format" and "Name Format". I'd suggest choosing "Project Name" and "Original File Name" for the two.
Click on Relocate Originals, and twiddle your thumbs while Aperure moves all your originals to the new location.
If your library uses referenced originals, and you wish to let your library manage the originals:
Select all your images
Click on the File menu and select Consolidate Originals...
Decide if you want to Copy or Move the originals into the library. If you're running out of space, it might be best to Move.
Click Ok, and wait for the operation to complete.
(Optional) If you wish to move your entire library to the external drive, drag and drop the library to the new location.
I hope that answers your question.
