No available themes

Cannot print at all, since iPhoto '08 (v. 7.1.1) reports that there are no themes installed on new Aluminum iMac. However, the themes ARE all there in the appropriate /Library/Application Support folder. I have repaired permissions, and reinstalled iLife from DVD, without benefit. Same for all user accounts, which were imported via Migration Assistant.
Bizarre. Anyone with ideas?

cairnwalker:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try reinstalling iPhoto again but before you do delete the Themes folder, the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Run the latest updater and afterward repair disk permissions.
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.

Please help! iPhoto - Cannot Create Calendar - "No Available Themes"

I recently had to reinstall my system software from the Install DVD after my new MacBook got into a perpetual restart loop. As part of the system installation I opted to keep my old system in the "Previous System" archive. I then copied my old iPhoto library into my new system, which worked fine to keep all my photos. However I can no longer create a calendar or print book.
When I click on the Calendar or a Photo Book the following error message appears: "No Available Themes. There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
I have searched but cannot locate any files that would seem to constitute the iPhoto print product themes. I have tried updating iPhoto from the .pkg on Apple Donwloads, but with no success. I have tried using the Application Install DVD which I got with the MacBook but for some reason iPhoto is greyed out in the Customise Installation list, as if unavailable for direct installation.
Would someone be able to help me as soon as possible with the following:
- Where should the calendar/print book themes be kept?
- Does anyone have a source for me to download (for iPhoto 7.1.5)
- Do I need to uninstall iPhoto, and if so how do I do this?
- If I do uninstall iPhoto will I lose precious items such as photos, event details, etc.? And how would I reinstall it given it is greyed out on the Applications Install disk?
- I have seen a reference here to 'deleting receipts' but I would need instructions on what to do if this is the solution.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

Can't print: "No Available Themes"

Using iPhoto 7.1.3 and OS 10.5.2, when I try to print a photo, I get an alert saying:
"No Available Themes - There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."
This isn't a book or a card. I'm just trying to print a photo.
what are they talking about?
Where does one get a theme?
TIA

YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
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 or later 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.

When I try to print photos in iPhoto '09 a window pops up and says "No Available Themes, There were no themes located". I use to be able to print photos all the time and I have iLife installed - Version 9.0.3. What has happened and what do I need to do? How do I install themes?

No Available Theme.

I get this pop up when I select print in iPhoto. No Available Theme. There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. Where are the themes hiding?

in my old operating system I did not need one
It has nothing to do with the operating system. And, yes you did them previously. Every version of iPhoto had themes of one sort or another. In the print window there are several layouts which one must select that are part of the themes that are missing or damaged.
You have a damaged application which needs to be replaced. You can try repairing Disk Permissions with Disk Utility but I don't hold a lot of hope for that. But worth a try anyway.
Apple didn't damage the app so why blame for the situation.

I no longer am able to make prints. Error message is:"No Available Themes"--"There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable."

I was told to Trash Iphoto and reinstall it to remedy a "no available themes" problem. If I do that will I lose all my photos?

Have you tried to rebuild or repair your iphoto library or database? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
If you reinstall as long as you don't delete your iphoto library you'll be fine. You'll probably have to tell the new iPhoto which library to use after you reinstall though. Hold the option key down when starting iPhoto and select your library. Also just to be safe I would back up the iPhoto library BEFORE you do anything.

IPhoto 11 No Available Themes

Hi,
I'm currently having issues trying to print photos via iPhoto, where I am constantly prompted 'No Available Themes'. I've followed numerous suggestions (i.e. removing iPhoto, receipts, themes folders, along with a fresh installation of iPhoto) which have failed to work. Can anyone shed any light on this problem I am having this issue on over 20+ MacBook Pro laptops. I've also tried doing Disk Permission Repairs and running software updates.
Any help will be much appreciated,
Tony

Well one reason it is "never as easy as you guys list it out" is that your problem is totally different from the thread you posted in and none of the advice in this thread applies to your problem - it is best to start new threads for new problems
What version of iPhoto do you have?
Yes you have a mess and you do not describe it clearly
It sounds like for some reason you have put iPhoto libraries into your applications folder - this is not a good idea as it is confusing (to you and to us) - the iPhoto library is by default in the pictures folder and I suggest you start by making sure the iPhoto application is in the applications folder exactly as it was originally installed and that all of the iPhoto libraries yo have are in the pictures folder
5 usual palm tree pic app but it has a camera also in the icon "iphoto.app" is name
That is your iPhoto application and should be left alone
3 usual palm tree pic icon "iphoto library" is name
4 palm tree pic icon "iphoto library copy" name
Those are iPhoto libraries and should be in your pictures folder
1. the usual app pic of like a palm tree on a beech pic with like 2 other pictures behind it ( like a stack of 3 pic's ) & it is "cimg0228" as a name.
2 exec. file & os.sys is name
I have no idea what these are - for now I would drag them to the desktop
Then depress the option key and launch iPhoto - use the select library window to select an iPhoto library and see what it is - repeat for each iPhoto library that you find in the select library window and make a decision as to which one (or ones) you want to keep
Each time you select one it becomes the default iPhoto library and will be the one opened when you launch iPhoto until you do another option launch
