No source list in iPhoto 08

I just upgraded to a newer iMac and iPhoto 08. Photos were transferred from the old machine. I saw all of them one time. There is no source list, so after opening an event I have found no way to navigate back and am stuck in the event. How do I turn on the source list?

Move your cursor to the extreme left of the Window until it becomes a +, then click and drag to the right.
If that doesn't work, try delete the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder

Cannot find source list in iPhoto

Cannot find "Source List"???? in my iPhoto. Also cannot find photo library. Thanks

what do you see? If you launch iPhoto does it work properly? If the source pane is not there move you mouse to the extreme left of the iPhoto window and drag the source pane open again
By default the iPhoto library is in your pictures folder - why are you looking for it?

I've lost my source list in iPhoto

this seems so easy, but I can't find any documentation on how to view or show the source list. It was up on iPhoto a few hours ago. Now I just see a panel with all the photos in my library, The list of my over 50 albums has dissappeared.
I run I Photo 5.0.4

Hi ipod girl,
Sometimes people can't get that source window open, even when they try to move the dot to the right.
First try to drag the button to show the column as show here
If that doesn't work, then you need to delete the Preference file. That info (size of the source window) is kept in the iPhoto Preference file.
Quit iPhoto
Open your User folder, then open the Library in your user folder, then open the Preferences in the Library folder.
In the Preference folder is a file called com.apple.iPhoto.plist
For now, drag that file to the desktop. Launch iPhoto and see if the source window is there or if you can open the source window. If you can, that means that Preference file you dragged to the desktop was corrupt. Put it in the trash.
IPhoto made a new one when it was launched. Open iPhoto Preferences and set your preferences again and you are good to go.

ICloud will not appear in Source List in iPhoto

Cannot access iCloud in iPhoto, as it does not appear in the Source List. iMac.

lWhat version of iPhoto are you running? You'll need iPhoto 9.2.2 at a minimum. See this Apple document for the system requirements for the various iCloud features: System requirements for iCloud

DEVICES is NOT COMING UP in MY SOURCE LIST in IPHOTO when I PLUG MY IPHONE IN ... Can you HELP????!!!

HELP!!

If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.
(And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )
Please don't type in Block Capitals. They're harder to read and on the forum it looks like you're screamng rudely at everyone.

Event is on 'Hold' in iPhoto source list under 'Recent'?

In the source list in iPhoto, under 'Recent', I have one of my Events and it has the text 'Hold' next to it for some reason. Why is that? When I mouseover it, it says "Keep this Event in the Source List". Why is it there, and how do I remove it from there?

Get up to date - the current version of iPhoto i 7.1.3 - this error has been fixed since (I believe) 7.1.1
Run software update or go to the apple download page and update to 7.1.3 - if you do not stay up to date you are likely to have continuing problems that no one else has because they have been fixed

Iphoto 5 Source List

I don't know how to find Source List for Iphoto 5. It was on left side of window, I fell asleep with hands on keyboard, and awoke with the source list gone. Preferences are no help. I've closed application and reopened, no help. Anyone out there have the magic formula to get source list back in the window?
thanks

Hi there,
Look on the left side of window, you should see a small dimple at the very middle of left. You should be able to left click and drag this open to the right and your source list should be there.

Disapperance of Book from iPhoto Source List

After restarting my Power Mac G5 following a software update, my Book and its duplicate disappeared from the source list in iPhoto. The 82 page Book contained over 200 photos with a file size of about 52 MB. Where did the Book and its duplicate go?

Sam:
A good way to preserve the book for future reference is to:
1 - do a print to PDf on the book in iPhoto
2 - just before you complete the ordering process (or simulating an order) find and save the pdf file that iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. Here's how to find it:
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, /private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto (for Panther the path is /private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto ), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.

My camera does not appear in the source list on 9.2.3

after updating my camera software, my camera no longer appears in the source list on iphoto '11. I am running version 9.2.3 of iphoto on a MacBook (OS X 10.6.8). I'm not sure how to revert to the previous verson befor the update. Any ideas?

Since you do not tell us any information about the actual problem except that it does not work a couple of things to try are generally the problem - make sure the camera is set to mass storage mode - that is what iPhoto expencts - and once you get your photos safely off the card (image capture maybe or if it moiunts to the desktop the finder) use the camera to reformat it

How do I expand the source list window?

How do I expand the source list in iphoto? Only part of the files and forlders are showing. I can drag the whole screen but not the source list window.

you grab the right hand edge and drag it - the max opening is about 2" it looks like - you can make it smaller but only that large

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

How can I remove Facebook from the iPhoto source list?

Lately when I use iPhoto it will not let me quit and I have to force quit. I recently moved to college where there are several separate internet routers. I realized I still had iPhoto sharing turned on from using it at home and thought that might be messing it up, but even after I turn off sharing it will not let me quit. I think it is a problem with Facebook because it asks, "still syncing would you like to stop and quit?" whenever I try to quit the program. I would like to just remove Facebook from my source list, but I can't figure out how. It used to ask me to sign in to Facebook if I wanted to upload pictures but now it doesn't so I have no idea how to make it quit syncing.

I found the solution in the community
Solution 1
Mac OS: Run the uninstaller in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder to remove the program listed as up-to-date.
Windows: Use the Programs And Features Control Panel to remove the program listed as up-to-date.

IPhoto Library won't show up in Source List.

My most recently updated iPhoto library is located on my main hard drive. Other older libraries are on a couple of external hard drives. When I close iPhoto, reopen and hold down the Option key, I am able to choose which library I want to use. I do so, but the most recent library will only leave the source list on the left of the iPhoto window with no photo. What do I need to do to 'connect' iPhoto with this library of photos? iPhoto 9.2.3

Sorry for not explaining fully. On the source list, everything under "Library" and "Recent" is populated with the photos as they should be. It is in the "Albums" list where all albums are blank (without the photos). That is what is puzzling. Anyone with a solution?

Photo stream is showing up in iphoto recent but not web and I am not able to join the shared photo stream. all of my software is updated. can someone tell me how to get photo stream in the web source list? thanks!

Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software. iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5 All of my preferences are checked. I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac. The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone) - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title. Is this supposed to happen on the Mac? Thanks!

So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade.
Yes
Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update?
Yes
Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5. For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What do I need to use Photo Stream?
To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
iPhoto requirements are free updates for iPhoto '11

Can't get ipod to appear in iphoto source list

Hi,
I've just come back from a holiday with my camera, ipod and camera connector and I want to transfer all the photos I loaded onto the ipod into iphoto. From what I have read, it seems that the ipod should automatically appear in the iphoto source list... but this never seems to happen with my ipod colour (4G) and iphoto (5.0.4). I'm hoping its just a simple thing I've overlooked... can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
yoz

Hmm, seems somewhat intermittent. Plugged the ipod in this morning and iphoto recognised it fine. Resolved.... for now!
