  • I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto.  You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone.  How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

    If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
    Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

    you are responsible for reinstalling any apps.  It is not Apples responsibility as outline the the service agreement.  Do you have the product key?

    Hi Spookola,
    I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.

    I read another post about this that suggested restoring preferences, but I don't know how to do this. I don't want to re-install iPhoto for sure.

    My bad. I didn't see the slider lower right (it was mentioned in the reply).

  • Iphoto and aperture start up problem with Yosemite

    Just found out that after installing Yosemite, both my iPhoto and aperture library took very long in order to show up contents after start up. Not sure what causes the delay, does anyone else experience the same problem? For reference, I am using late 2013 15" Macbook pro.

    In the case of Aperture you can open the Activity window and check what Aperture is doing.
    From Aperture's main menu bar:   Window  > Show Activity
    When Aperture launched the first time, I saw the following activities, that took a noticable amount of time:
    Importing iCloud photos
    Scanning faces
    Rendering previews for iCloud videos.

  • I uploaded pictures to iphoto and they are too small. How do I make them normal size for printing?

    The pictures I uploaded from my digital camera are stored in iPhoto and under Photo_data_roll... I am trying to print them, but the quality is very bad because the size of the photos was compressed (or something) when I uploaded them. How do I get the photos to their normal size?

    This sounds like it is more likely a problem with your camera.  Digital cameras have setting for resolution and amount of compression used.  I would start by looking there.  If resolution is set low or compression too high, the picture might look okay on a camera's two inch screen but like c**p in iPhoto.

  • I have made a photo album in iphoto and want it sent to France, how do I do that????

    I have just assembled a photo album on iphoto and when it come to the buying stage I am unable to get it sent to France.  i have done this once before with no problem.  Has Apple stopped sending photos abroad????  Whatever happened to sending to friends and family???
    if anyone knows how I can do this please reply asap.
    thanks

    Hi, I have this problem too, it is SO frustrating and makes me never want to use iPhoto again! I live abroad and want to send a photo album to Canada but my credit card billing address is in the US and apparently shipping and billing addresses must match. I have already spent DAYS and DAYS making the album. There must be another company that allows shipping to Canada with a US credit card. Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Whenever i turn on my macbook pro ,, mac office , powerpoint and excel starts up itself , how can i stop this from happening?

    how can stop this from turning on itself?

    Apple menu -> System preferences -> Users -> select your user, and select Login Items.  There is where automatic launching happens.   The other thing is, with Mac OS X 10.8 and later, there is a checkbox when you restart or shut down your Mac to reopen windows that were open upon shutdown.  Make sure that checkbox is unchecked.  You aren't running Classic.  You are running some version of Mac OS X on a MacBook Pro.

  • I have an older MacBook Pro and my iPhoto and iMovie keep "quitting unexpectedly". How do I fix this?

    Ever since I upgraded to Lion and whenever I plug in my iPhone 4S iPhoto starts up then shuts down "unexpectedly" and now I just tried opening iMovie, which I haven't opened in a while and it won't open either.

    As far as I know. I haven't seen any updates for them and I have checked.

  • I have iphoto 9 (version 8.1.2).  When I opened up iphoto it said that I had 0 pictures (it had over a 1,000) prior.  My screen saver was and has been set to a foler in iphoto and still displays the photos.  How do I retrieve my pictures?

    When opening Iphoto (Iphoto 9 version 8.1.2) I went from hundreds of photos to 0.  I looked in my harddrive and could not locate the pictures under library or photos.  I tried rebuilding the system (ctl. alt. and opeing the program).  I would assume all my pictures are lost except for when my screen saver runs, I still see all of my old photos.  How can I retrieve my photos?

    go in to finder than photos they should be somwhere in there. after you find them select add to iphoto

  • IPhoto launches on start up... how do I disable?

    Hi, when I turn on my Mac iPhoto launches (as well as Preview), I have tried to find the command to disable this in the iPhoto prefs but cannot find the option to turn off at start up.
    Can any one help?
    TIA

    Some possibilities:
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • Taskbar Jumplist anomalies for Word 2010 and Excel 2010

    I am having problems with missing jumplists for Office 2010 products (Word and Excel) pinned on the Windows 7 taskbar, **BUT** have no problems with jumplists for Notepad and IE pinned on the taskbar.
    Observation 1: I just upgraded from Office 2010 Starter to full Office 2010 by getting a product key. Full Office 2010 was installed on my laptop when I purchased it but only Starter was licensed. Full Office 2010 was unusable until the upgrade. I suspect
    the leapfrog from Starter to full Office 2010 might have a part in this jumplist issue.
    Observation 2: I can see from a DOS prompt that the AutomaticDestinations and CustomDestinations folders exist under Recent. However, from Windows Explorer I cannot see the 2 folders under Recent. (That may be a clue…if other people CAN see the 2 folders
    from Windows Explorer.)
    Observation 3: In DOS, I can see that both directories have files ending in -ms. I can also see updates (new files with fresh timestamps) from opening Word and Excel files in those 2 directories. It’s almost like Word and Excel don’t understand to go look
    in those 2 directories after the Office upgrade, even though Windows 7 (?) generates the -ms files for the jumplist function.
    Observation 4: Again, no problems with Notepad and IE jumplists. I can remove the files from the AutomaticDestinations folder and cause Notepad to have no jumplist items, and then restore them and Notepad has jumplist contents again.
    Observation 5:  I had no problem using jumplists with Word Starter and Excel Starter.  All references to Office/Word/Excel Starter are now gone from the Starter button and All Programs - sent to Recycle bin.  I deleted the Word Starter
    and Excel Starter entries when I upgraded, but I just deleted the Microsoft Office Starter (Englisgh) entry under All Programs today...I thought it was a benign entry and wouldn't hurt since I wasn't using it.  Maybe there's some corruption in registry
    as a result of the mixture.  Interestingly, I can drag a file created in Word Starter to the taskbar and it will try to pin it to the Word Starter taskbar "ghost" that's in the Recycle bin.
    Any clues anyone?  I have no large files in the two destination folders, and have only about 20 files total in each folder...far fewer than the 999 threshhold mentioned in one of the updates for Office 2010.
    Thank you!

    I encountered exactly the same problem, and under exactly the same circumstances as the original poster (upgraded from Office Starter to Home and Business; jump lists worked fine in Starter, then stopped working for Excel and Word after upgrading). 
    Like the original poster, none of the various fixes found online corrected the problem, nor did re-installing Office.
    I also tried what was suggested by Max Meng and created a new User Account. The problem occurred for the new account, just as it did with the old one.
    After about 6 hours of fighting, I have finally solved the problem.  The solution is not easy, fast or pretty.
    What I did was uninstall Office (again) using the Control Panel. Then I ran a FixIt utility found here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 (method 2)
    My hope was that this would do additional registry clean-up.  I knew from earlier attempts that this alone would not fix the problem, though.
    Despite uninstalling twice, there were still a lot of references left in the registry to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter".  Likewise, there were still references to "WINWORDC.EXE" and "EXCELC.EXE", which are the starter versions of the executables.
    So I went through the registry using RegEdit, and manually deleted every key which included those strings.  The largest number of cases were file type definitions for various Word and Excel file extensions.  When in doubt, I deleted entire tag
    hierarchies for Word and Office file types, figuring that they would be restored when I reinstalled Office.  In the process, I removed pretty much every reference to Word or Excel that I could find in the registry.
    I also deleted any directory on my hard drive (in c:\Program Files(x86), c:\Program Data, and c:\Users\<name>\AppData which appeared to be related to Office.
    Having done this, I reinstalled again, and the jump lists for Word and Excel now work.
    In debugging the problem, I found that .automaticDestination-ms files (which contain the data behind the jump lists) were not being created when I opened Word or Excel documents; they *were* being created when I manually pinned individual files to the
    taskbar, however. 
    I suspect that this might be due to the long hexadecimal filename being based on a hash of the application name, or what the system thinks is the application name based on the file type.  Removing the references to "Word Starter" and "Excel Starter",
    and the corresponding WINWORDC.EXE and EXCELC.EXE in the registry might have cleared up this problem.
    Obviously this fix is potentially risky, and should only be attempted if you are comfortable editing the registry. Making a full system backup beforehand would be a wise precaution.  For this specific case, however (broken jump lists after
    upgrading from Starter to full Office) it would appear the only alternative is a clean install of Windows (to wipe the registry completely).
