Open Keynote with iPhoto

A nice trick? I was unable to open a Keynote file (V3). I had an older version of the file that would open, but forgot what I had added to the newer version. I opened the new version in iPhoto, which imported every picture and frame. I then opened the old file in Keynote and was able to compare the two files. Until there is a solution to the problem of files that Keynote can't open, at least I can now redo the files.

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 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.

My iphone 3gs will not sync with my itunes, instead it open up with iphoto who do I get it to sync with itunes?

How do I get my iphone 3GS to open up and sync with itunes and not iphoto? My iphone thinks it's a camera and now I can't sync new music onto it.

It IS a camera.
Have you tried opening iTunes? Does iTunes detect that the iPhone is connected?

My iPhoto libraries have been made with older vs. and cannot open them with iPhoto application or Library Manager

I have multiple iPhoto libraries made with older vs. of iPhoto. I cannot open any now with either iPhoto or iPhoto Manager, just get a spinning icon.

Open Jpeg with iPhoto choice in contextual menu?

In Snow Leopard I could right click on a Jpeg file in a finder window and get a contextual menu listing the recommended applications to open the file. The first one was "Preview" the second was "Safari" and the third was "Send Jpeg to iPhoto." The last choice is not available in Lion. I can obviously choose iPhoto to open the file from the "choose application to open file" in the contextual menu, but that takes a couple of more steps. I could have all Jpeg files open in iPhoto, but I don't want to have that happen with every Jpeg.
Can I do anything to restore that feature in Lion? Maybe it's just hidden somewhere.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Opening video with iPhoto problem

iPhoto 8 (ver 7.1.5) doesn't open my videos (and Quicktime 10.0) anymore....do you know why?

You need to have Quicktime Player 7 for those. Do a custom install with your Snow Leopard install disk and select just Quicktime Player 7 for installation. It will get installed in your Applications/Utilities folder and iPhoto will then be able to play movie files.

Opening pictures from the desktop with iphoto

Hey guys,
When I download pics onto my desktop (or anywhere else for that matter) (say a friend skype me some pics) and i want to open them with iphoto to store them in the relevant roll or album, i have to go through all the hassle of :
-ctrl click
-open with
-other
-look for iphoto in the list of programs
Is there any way I can put iphoto directly in the list of program i get by ctrl clicking on a picture file? The only think i can think of is "always use this program", but then again i don't always want to do that...
Thanks a lot! It would save so much time in the end...

You can also import a complete folder of jpegs by drag and drop.
Its slightly trickier but will work. Some practise may be needed.
Select the library and scroll down to the bottom of the album pane. Pick up the folder and move the mouse pointer to a spot to the right of the Trash and between the lowest album and the one above. When a black line apears around the entire album pane just relase the folder and it will be imported as a complete album bearing the folder name.

Can't upload Calendar with iphoto '08

I've got a calendar that I created using iphoto '08. I am trying to buy it, but it's failing to upload. I click on 'buy calendar', and it sits for a while saying 'connecting'. Then I get one of several error messages saying "This service is not available", or on other attempts: it gets as far as "Updating product information" before finally saying "A connection could not be established at this time".
I've got another computer with '09 on it. I can create a simple calendar there, and successfully get to connect. I don't want to have to recreate the calendar on the other computer. Is that possible? Is Apple trying to force people to upgrade?

You could try copying the 08 iPhoto library to the desktop of the other Mac, open it with iPhoto 09 to convert the library format to 09 and see if you can order the calendar then. Just don't copy the 08 library package into your Pictures folder and replace the 09 library. Keep the 08 library on the desktop.
There are no differences in the two versions of iPhoto as far as calendar themes is concerned so it must be something to do with the 08 version, library or connection from that Mac.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

HT2638 I am using OSX 10.8.5 with iPhoto 11. I have damaged my iPhoto library and am unable to open up my library with iPhoto. When I use 'open package contents' with the library, I can see that all my photos are there. Can I rebuild the events?

I have tried the option + command button while opening iPhoto but this has not helped.

Your next step would be tp try rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager and its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. Yesterday when I opened up the iPhoto (which I have it in my external drive due to the size of file) I get the message that it is not compatible with the new system(or something like that) and ask me to upgrade so I did. Then another message pops ups and asked for rebuilding the Thumbnails. So I clicked rebuild. Next it asked me to do one of three things(I can't remember all of them) so I chose the last one which is to download a photo to iPhoto. Now I only have that photo I downloaded in iPhoto file but not the rest of my pictures. The iPhoto library which is stored in my EHD shows it has 349GB but it only show one thumbnail of the last picture I downloaded after the rebuild process. What can I do to recover the rest of the file?
Thanks for your help.

I have the top of the range MacBook Pro. Yet every time I open iPhoto it grinds to a halt with iPhoto crashing 1 out of every 4 times I open it. Is this normal? And if not how can I fix it?

No it's not normal. What version of iPhoto? Post the first 50 lines only of the crash report

Open With iPhoto

Sometimes iPhoto is a simple to use program that does all I need --- but it can't organize like Bridge can, so I would like to use Bridge and then an "Open With iPhoto" command. I can add iPhoto to the applications in Preferences|File Type Associations, and Bridge then starts the iPhoto app after I double click an image -- but then I receive a message that "the file cannot be imported. It is in the iPhoto library." (Of course it is.)
Now, before ranting that this forum is for professionals and it's an Apple problem -- let me suggest that Apple made sure iPhoto had the ability to open an image for editing in Photoshop.
So, can somebody help me figure out how to make these two very good programs work together?

I should mention, you can right click on an image through finder, select 'Get info' scroll down till you see 'Open With:' here you can default iPhoto, then click 'change all' and continue... you can also just use iPhoto in select images by not clicking on 'Change all', the change will only apply to that image
This way you get iPhoto on the list as 'defualt' but still have all the others available as before...

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto."

Transfered photos from IMac with Iphoto 9 to a mac book with Iphoto 11 now Iphoto 09 errors out saying "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." We have not updated or changed anything on the IMac all we did is transfer photos. Any help would be appreciated.

LarryHN is correct. The only way this message occurs is if the iPhoto Library database is upgraded to a newer version.
You could try holding SHIFT-OPT-COMMAND when launching iPhoto from the dock and checking only "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" and hope it restores the previous database prior to the upgrade.
If that doesn't work, you can install iPhoto '11 on your iPhoto '09 computer. If I understood the iPhoto '11 Mac App License agreeement correctly, you can install it on any personal, non-commerical computer you own running 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7.

My photolibrary can not be open with iphoto or rebuild in iphoto library manager?

I can not open my Photolibrary in iphoto, the whole database seem to be one XML file, I whent to apple support and purchase iphoto librabry manager and here I can see an index of my photo librabry with event and album index and number of photos. However when I use the rebuild function I get the following error and the rebuild library is empty.
"An error occurred trying to open the database at /Users/Desktop/iPhoto Library old/Database/Library.apdb (14)"
I have also tried to import or drag the library into iphoto but this doesn't work either.
Please help I have no back up on the last photo

Do you have a backup of the library with all the photos except for the last import? If so bring it into the Pictures folder (rename the existing Library so it doesn't get overwritten) and open with iPhoto. Make sure it's working correctly and has all of the photos except for that last import/event.
Once you have the backup library up and running move the old library to the Desktop and open it with the Finder:
Click to view full size
Locate the Originals folder (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters folder (iPhoto 11) and move it to the Desktop. Then look inside and try to find the sub folder for the last imported set of photos. When you find it drag it into the open iPhoto application window to import them into the library.
