iLife: Cannot See iPhoto Files in Other iLife Applications
If this doesn't work try this:1 - delete the iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD preference files. Also delete the com.apple.iApps.plist file in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - open the iApps in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, then iDVD.
If that doesn't work then rebuild your iPhoto Library:
Try this:
Before doing a rebuild make sure iPhoto's trash bin is emptied. You can do this by control clicking on the trash bin, or from the menu bar under iPhoto.
Close iPhoto
Duplicate the iPhoto Library folder
Drag the duplicate to the desktop (hopefully you have enough room on your hard drive for the duplicate.)
Launch iPhoto holding down the Command and Option keys until you see the rebuild options screen.
Choose the first three options. If you were missing photos in your library, also choose the last option. Be advised that you will get a roll of orphaned photos and it might be quite huge. Most of them will already be in your iPhoto library, but use caution when deleting anything from this roll until you are sure the photos are still in your library in another place. It might be a good idea to share/export this roll of photos just in case you need to import them again.
Back to the rebuild, depending on the size of your library it might take some time. When it is done, hopefully your photos will be there.
You might see some unexpected results as I did when I did a rebuild. Photos had been moved to wrong dates, video clips had lost their duration info and some were even orphaned from the jpg pointer file. It took me some time to straighten it out again.
This is the reason to make a duplicate before you rebuild, in case you do not like the result. If you don't like the result, close iPhoto, then delete the rebuilt library and drag the duplicate back into the Pictures folder making sure the name is iPhoto Library. Launch iPhoto and it should open the library in the Pictures folder.

    need help uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop

    And why do you think you need to reinstall?  What is happening?

  • HT204655 Do I need to uninstall iphoto?

    Now that iphoto seems to have imported all of my photos from iphoto do I need to uninstall iphoto? I don't want it taking up space if I don't need it.

    No. The application won't take up much space, and the Photos library mostly uses the same on-disk files as the iPhoto one(they're hard-linked), so it won't take up much additional space either.

  • I need help updating iphoto after Mavericks

    So I downloaded Mavericks, and lost iphoto ... nothing in this world comes easy, right?  I've called and emailed support at Apple, and got nothing but a stock response "Sign into your account, go to the app store, and update your apps!"  Yeah, NO KIDDING.  That was the first thing I did...and when I do, I get the following error message:
    "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    I've tried this while signed in with the only two apple IDs I know of, and got the same message.  As per my iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor Julie Ann's request, I replied to her email telling her it didn't work, and now I am awaiting further instruction...it's been 5 days. 
    The only info I've been able to get out of customer service at Apple is that I will likely have to buy the updated iphoto ... At this point, I am over the injustice that I have to pay for this app again, I just want access to my files.  I will buy the stupid thing if they really make me.  In fact, I've already tried, but I can't figure out how!  When I go to the app store, the only option presented is to "update."  I've thought about uninstalling iphoto and buying it again, but I don't want to risk losing the existing files on my comp.  I know my pictures are still there because the files is rather large. 
    Anyway, can anyone offer a real solution to this problem?  I guess I can trek to the nearest Apple store, but that requires me to take a ride into the city and wait in line ... ain't nobody got time for that!  PLEASE HELP I NEED MY FILES. 

    I don't remember exactly what it had on it (snow leopard?) when I got it 5 years ago.  Last year I had the hardrive serviced and installed the lastest (at the time) OSX...I believe it was Mountain Lion.  After that I guess I must have accepted the iLife apps, since I've been using them with no problem.  The only app I have trouble with after the Mavericks upgrade is iphoto. 
    Why would I do this without backup?  I don't know, I like to live on the edge?  That's not really the point now, is it?  Truth is, everything I need is backed up, except this one file that I happen to need, that I put in iphoto the day before the upgrade.  The only reason I was interested in this stupid upgrade is because I was trying to buy Numbers, and it wouldn't let me without the latest OS.  Honestly, I find it to be completely useless and wish I never did it. 
    Point is, why am I having this issue with iphoto exclusively?  Can you offer any advice?

  • Need help restoring iPhoto 08 Library into iPhoto 11

    Ok, I have spent hours trying to figure this out on my own. I'm not being lazy but I need help!  I have a black macbook (2009) that had Leopard (not Snow) and iPhoto 08. It crashed. I had a time machine backup on external drive. I got a new hard drive installed and they upgraded me to Lion and iPhoto 11.  I messed up and started the system without hooking up to time machine. I tried to use migration assistant. It imported only imported 400 pics of my many thousand pics.
    I did several things: I tried to rebuild the library, look for orphans, etc. I deleted the ProjectDBVersion.plist, Projects.db, Projects.db-journal files as someone suggested. I deleted the new iphoto 11 library. i dragged the my old iphoto library from time machine. I held down option and tried to build it again from the old library. I still get the same 400 pics. I even tried the free version of Photo Library Manager. It created the same library with 400 pics. (not sure if I know how to use this app right).
    If I open the new iphoto 11 library, I can see my pics in the  "Masters" file.  I was able to drag these to my desktop and then put in iphoto but does this method save my edits? Should I drag the "Modified" pics into iphoto instead? I don't care much about keywords, I just want my edits. I also don't want old deleted photos put back into iphoto. 
    another question, time machine (TM) is not turned on yet with new hard drive and OS. it doesn't recognize my external drive as TM. It asks if I want to designate it as TM. If I do this, will it delete my old backup (with all my important data) and start a new backup of my new hard drive which doesn't have all the pics yet.
    I don't have a copy of Lion so if I do a complete restore, I will have to buy it and add all info again. Is this my best option? Would it really make a difference?
    Terrance, you out there?
    Thanks for any help!

    It might start backing up your new drive but will not erase what's on it as long as there is sufficient space. Also you can turn on TM and exclude your entire HD via the TM Options pane.
    Then go to your Pictures folder and enter Time Machine.  Go back to the appropriate date, select the library and use the Restore button.
    OT
    NOTE:  if you have trouble entering TM's backups go to the Lion forum and ask your question there.  Also do a search there for Time Machine so see if there are any similar topics there already.

  • Need help restoring iphoto.

    How/ what do I need to do, to have iphoto, as if it was the first time ever, and ask me to select my library or a cd whatever, to put photos on. I am currently trying to bring everything over from my user and making a new one cause I notice alot of problems with my old user compared to a new one I made to see a difference and theres a big difference. But right now I made a mistake and I need to get iphoto back to the point of slectin the library,
    Nathan

    Hi Nathan,
    If there is an iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder just rename it, then launch iPhoto. When you launch iPhoto it will ask you if you want to create a new library or open another library. Or you can hold down the Option key when launching iPhoto and you will be asked to do the same thing.
    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 and then choose it.
    You will probably have to change permissions on the iPhoto Library folder for the new user also. Do a "get info" on the folder and make sure the permissions are read/write for the new user and click the "apply to enclosed items" button at the bottom.

  • Need help with iphoto and dragging to external hard drive

    Hello,
    I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders.  I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive.  The apple store rep said to go to Finder, Pictures, Iphoto, then right click to "Show Package Contents."  Then go to either "original" or "modified." From there I can drag into the hard drive.  However, I'm very confused because the "modified" or "original" are not organized at all by folders or events.  There are dates only.  What can I do to find, drag the events (each are named)?  Please help!
    Katie

    1. Ignore the Apple store rep.
    2. You need to clarify:
    I have my iphoto very organized into Events and I recently just moved them to be in folders
    Moved them to be where in folder? In iPhoto? In the FInder?
    I would like to have only certain Events (or folders/albums) on the external hard drive.
    In an iPhoto Library? Or in the Finder?
    Do not access the Library via the Finder or any other app. You risk damaging your Library and you will lose data.
    If you want to have some Events/Albums on an External Disk within iPhoto:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
    If you want to have them in Folders in the Finder
    Use the FIle > Export command to get photos out of iPhoto.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921

  • Need help fast - iPhoto slide show on Windows ?

    Hi,
    I am really needing your help with this. I have created a slideshow in iPhoto for a funeral service for our uncle which is being held this evening. However, I just found out that they need to view this slideshow on a Windows computer.
    HELP !! I tried exporting the slide show to iDVD but just want to burn a DVD that will play this looping slide show along with the iTunes playlist they already have set up on this Windows laptop.
    Do I have to go through all the theme stuff in iDVD just to create this slideshow that will keep looping ? I don't want it to go back to the chapter menu everytime it finishes.
    I am under a really tight time line to get this done...please help.
    Thanks !

    I'm not an expert on this, but...
    Have you tried exporting the slideshow to a Quicktime Movie? (Select the slideshow, then File>Export). You could burn that to a disc just as a file and play it in Quicktime on the Windows PC. Quicktime has a loop function, so you wouldn't have to mess with chapter menus, etc.
    Maybe someone with more experience has a better idea.
    Good Luck,
    Karen

  • Need help saving iPhoto library from damaged hard drive

    Trying to help my wife, she has the following:
    MacBook Pro running OS X Lion version 10.7.3
    iPhoto 11 version 9.2.2
    Her hard drive failed last week and she had a ton of photos on it, of course not backed up.
    We took her machine to the local Apple Store, they confirmed they couldn't recover the data and they installed a new hard drive in the MacBook.  We took the old hard drive to my local PC supplier who's very clever, he worked on the hard drive and was able to copy all my wife's documents to another storage device.....but, he couldn't copy the iPhoto library and is requesting some help.....he doesn't know much about Macs, nor how iPhoto works.
    I've read a lot of the posts on this forum and am learning about how the iPhoto library works....and how it requires a Mac based back up hard drive in order to copy it.  Okay, here are my questions:
    1.  My PC troubleshooting guy can see the iPhoto library icon on the damaged hard drive, he says its a huge file.  It appears we would need to supply him with a Mac formated back up hard drive, then he could just move that iPhoto library icon (which contains all photos) to the new back up drive.  Is this correct?
    2.  Once we have this old iPhoto library on the new back up hard drive, we could bring it home of course, but then I need to get it into the new hard drive on my wife's MacBook Pro.  I'm assuming I can plug this back up drive into my wife's machine, then import the old library into her machine.  How do I do this properly?
    3.  If I bring the old library into the new MacBook Pro hard drive, will it erase the existing iPhoto library on her new hard MacBook Pro hard drive, or will it combine them somehow?  She has added of course some pics to the new iPhoto library already, but if we have to delete them it won't kill us.  The old stuff that got recovered from the damaged drive is more important.
    Thanks ahead.....now to the experts?

    Thanks Terence.....
    regarding this point:
    3. use the paid version ($20) of  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the Libraries. that way you won't lose anything.
    I have another access to her new photos, whereby I could reload them onto her MacBook if we lose the new library.....so I'll save the $20 and just reload them.....two more questions:
    1.  So, if I drag the iPhoto library folder from the new back up hard drive to the Pictures Folder in Finder, will that overwrite the existing library folder on her MacBook?
    2.  After I drag this folder into finder, will iPhoto recognize everything?  I assume yes....just checking.
    thanks ahead!

  • Need help restoring iphoto and iphoto library

    Hi, I have been trying for over a year to restore my iphoto library which was lost when my hard drive died. Since I often go months between attempts, I kind of forget what we have already tried. I think we have tried rebuilding it as suggested in other posts. When we have done this, I think we have ended up with about 6 copies because when we search in spotlight, it says we have 19,196 jpgs!
    When the hard drive died we had about 3000 photos. I believe all of them are still there in the mom and dad user, and they seem to be undistorted-yeah! However, when I click on the iphoto icon, I only get the task bar, no window opens up, and almost all the options are gray.
    So basically, if I want to find a photo, I have to go through a long path, locate the thumbnail, drag it to the desktop and then I can use it.
    I have read many of the similar posts, but I was still unsure what to try first in my situation. I imagine I need to get rid of about 16,000 copies of my original photos before I do anything else.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to make a family album, and I really need those photos!
    Thank you all in advance. This is a wonderfully suportive community.
    I don't know what version of iphoto I am running (or was running?), but I think it is an older one, since my g4 is several years old, and I don't think I ever purchased ilife. If someone can tell me how to check, I will provide the info.

    Hi, thanks again for your reply.
    I looked through some of the jpgs from spotlight, and I found at least 1000 that weren't photos, just some weird random stuff I didn't recognize.
    Yes, the rebuild did work for awhile, but then it was gone again. It doesn't seem like it lasted very long. Also, I had the same problems others described with all the albums lost, and it seems like there were some photos I thought were lost as well. Like I said, I go months between my attempts to do this because it is so time consuming, so that is why I can't remember all the details.
    Anyway, I thought that when I had it restored for a short time that I had backed up my photos, but now I can't find the disks, so maybe I never got around to it. You can bet I will be doing it this time!
    For the sake of my book I am trying to get done for Christmas, would it be bad to just search through my jpgs, make a folder of some of them on the desktop, and then import them to shutterfly?
    Also, I am wondering if buying the new ilife w/iphoto 8 would be a good idea right now or if it would just make a bigger mess of things? Would it have any way to search for my photos?
    Sorry for all the questions. Hopefully if there is a solution, I will be able to get there soon.

  • I need help uninstalling the recent download I did of Adobe Flash Player.

    I recently installed the newest update for Adobe Flash Player for my computer, but by doing so it no longer works for anything that I do.
    I saw in the help that there is a way to uninstall the latest version and download an older version of it. Reading the instructions and then doing them is difficult for me, especially when it involves something as intense as this.
    I was wondering if there was a way that I could get the instructions given to me verbally by a representative, say, over the phone. Because my biggest fear I'm having right now is that by doing it myself, I'm going to screw up royally and just make things even worse than they already are.
    If this is possible in any way, shape, or form, that would be awesome and make me feel 1,000,000 times better. This has been an issue I've been having with my computer for a week and a half now, and I would REALLY like to rectify it and make it better.
    Please, and thank you.
