Panther to Tiger - Where's my iPhoto?

After updating to Tiger I notice iPhoto is not included in the retail package. Is there a way to install it from my Panther discs? I also have Jaguar discs. I'm using Kodak's app, but I really miss iPhoto!

Printer doesn't work after Panther to Tiger upgrade

After upgrading from Panther to Tiger my usb connected Canon PIXMA iP5000 printer no longer works. In printer setup utility when I click "add" I see the ip5000 but the "Print Using" dialog box says "please select a driver or printer model". In the drop down list under Canon there is no driver listed that corresponds to my iP5000 (also, only gimp-print drivers are listed for some reason).
I reinstalled the printer software from the disk that came with the printer but still nothing relevant appears in the list under Canon. I installed a newer OSX driver from the Canon website but still nothing relevant (and still only the gimp-print drivers in the list under Canon).
Using the finder search function I located a file called ip5000.ppd on the hard drive. I selected this file in the "Print Using" dialog box and was then able to add the printer. When I try to print though nothing comes out of the printer.
I installed a driver from www.printfab.com for the iP5000. This works fine but apparently I have to buy a license for $61 to use the software?
Can anyone out there tell me what's going on? Why is the driver from the Canon web site not showing up under the Canon tab in the printer setup utility? Any idea where it is or what file extension it should have so I can search for it?
Thanks,

In step 3, I moved the contents of the BJPrinters
folder to the desktop instead of deleting them
(deleting is so final).
We need to delete and empty the trash. It seems that for some setups, leaving the files on the system (including the trash) interferes with the new driver installation/operation.
In step 4, the only file that seemed close to what
you mentioned was CanonPrinterDrivers.pkg. I moved
it to the desktop also.
This is the original package included with the OS for the Canon BJ drivers we are deleting. In case you ever need to add an old Canon driver then it would be best to put this file back. But it is odd that there is no other Canon package. I expected there to be one for the iP5000 that you installed.
The result was the same as before - when I try to add
the printer the "Print Using" menu still shows a
greyed out "please select a driver of printer model".
The Canon folder still shows the same gimp-print
options, none of which are related to the iP5000.
Yes. The iP5000 won't appear in the list as it hasn't been written to do so. As I said before, the driver, upon detection of the printer, adds the printer to the list. You cannot browse to it.
Let me know if you have any other ideas (or if I need
to delete the files rather than just move them to the
desktop).
So, I think you need to do the steps again, this time delete the contents of the CanonBJ folder and empty it from the trash. The thing I would add this time is turn off the iP5000 (unplug the power cord but leave the USB connected) at Step 6 (you may need to shutdown rather than restart the Mac). Then start the Mac, install the latest driver (which is v4.1.9) do the disk permissions and then, before you open the Printer Setup Utility, reconnect the power cord to the printer. Hopefully now the driver will detect the printer and add it to the list.

Lost emails going from Panther to Tiger

I just went from Panther to Tiger (after doing an archive and install back to Panther from Tiger a month ago, long story and now a month's worth of my inbox mail is missing. Everything from before Nov 13 imported automatically, and everything from the last couple of days is there, (still on the server I assume) but nothing from Nov 13 to Dec 8. I've looked in the users/me/library/mail folder, but can't find the messages there. If anyone knows where I can find them and import them into Tiger mail, I'd be most grateful!

Upgraded Panther to Tiger: now Mail won't download email from Sympatico

Hi there,
If someone wouldn't mind advising... I just ugraded my wife's powerbook from Panther to Tiger (10.4.9)... and even though her email settings are still the same (incoming server, outgoing server, etc.), Mail won't collect her email from the Sympatico site.
Do I have to get rid of her Mail prefs and re-boot? Or something? (if it's the former, which prefs exactly, and where are they?).
thanks,
Malcolm

You can always delete your account from Mail and re-create it... There are 2 kinds of account settings for a Sympatico account:
The "old ones" that have the same settings since Sympatico started 10 years ago:
Username: b1**##
Password: access password
Incoming mail (POP3): pop6.sympatico.ca
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp1.sympatico.ca
Port server 25 for Outgoing (SMTP)
Port server 110 for Incoming (POP3)
The other Sympatico e-mail is the enhance one with MSN. The settings are differents and the authentification is different. Any new Sympatico accounts since June 2004 are on that new plaform:
Username: [email protected]
Password: e-mail password
Incoming mail (POP3): pophm.sympatico.ca
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtphm.sympatico.ca
Verify that your server is set to requires anthentiation with agin your Sympatico e-mail and Sympatico password;
Both servers, Outgoing and Incoming, require a secure connection (SSL)
If you are not sure witch is what try to login online at: http://www.sympaticomail.sympatico.ca it will tell you if can upgrade to new enhance e-mail or if you sign in like a Hotmail account if you are already enhance.
I hope this help....
Cheers

Photoshop CS2 upgrade Panther to Tiger - Help please!

Hi All,
I am doing a favour for my Aunt tomorrow and upgrading her G5 from Panther to Tiger.
She uses it mainly for Photoshop.
Is there anything i need to be wary of? I looked at the adobe web site and it seems to work on both systems, but do i need to download an update?
Any advice, greatfully received!

Jacob, have a look at THESE posts.

Where is my iphoto after upgrading to yosemite??

Where is my IPHOTO after upgrading to yosemite ??

Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
P.S.
You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

Intalling Panther or Tiger on an imac G3

Hello,
I have a Blueberry color Imac G3 which was made in spring of 2000. I recently bought a new ibook and want to upgrade the older mac as my sister is now using it. I asked this ? a long time back but am requesting any further help you can give. The imac has 640 of ram and the Hardrive is 30 gig. There's almost nothing taking up any HD space and almost all is available. This mac is mostly used to surf the net. I do however want to install either Panther or Tiger on this unit. The person who responded before said to use a retail version for a full install. Also, would either Panther or Tiger work on this mac?
Lastly, what does the install involve??
Thanks very much
1bookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

omshanti:
I am not familiar with your computer, but it should easily support Panther, maybe even Tiger. Here are the basic requirements:
-Macintosh with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
-Built-in USB
-At least 128MB of physical RAM
-Built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
In terms of installation, here are some suggestions to Archive and install. If you choose to do a clean install see note below:
Panther: Archive and Install
If you do not have a Full Retail Version you can get one on eBay relatively inexpensively.
If you have the right disks here is what you do.
1. Warning: Although we will use Archive and Install there is always a risk something can go wrong. As a precaution back up your User Folder and any apps you can't afford to lose.
2. Check to see if you have the latest Firmware Update: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
3. Boot from the install disk holding down the C key.
4. Once booted go to the Installer Menu and open Disk Utility.
5. Run Repair Disk. If there are problems, run it until no problems are reported. If it reports that it can't repair the problems you might need TechTool Pro or Disk Warrior.
6. While still in Disk Utility run Repair Permissions.
7. Quit Disk Utility and open the Installer.
8. Choose the option to Archive and Install. This saves your data in a Previous Systems folder, which you can retrieve after installation.
9. You might want to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer Drivers to save Hard Drive space.
10. Proceed with installation.
11. After installation is complete computer will restart. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and Repair Permissions.
NOTE (below):
To do a clean install:
Follow steps 1 through 4 above.
a. In Disk Utility select your HD in left panel and Erase in main panel.
b. Be sure Volume Format is Mac OS Extended and the checkbox Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed is checked.
c. Select Options at bottom left in Erase panel. (Note: This procedure will erase the contents of your entire HDD. Be sure you have anything you want saved backed up.Select option to zero all data. Click OK. Click Erase. This process may take a while, so this is a good time to take a walk or call your mother
d. After HDD is erased resume at No. 7 above.
Post back with any questions or comments.
Good luck.

What has happened? Where is my iPhoto and why are my photos now in Photos. This *****. The whole reason I bought a Mac was the ease of iPhotos. Horrible.

What has happened? Where is my iPhoto and why are my photos now in Photos? This *****. The whole reason I bought a Mac was the ease of iPhotos. Horrible. Bad move.

iPhotos is still in your Applications folder. The iPhoto Library is still in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

Where is the iPhoto folder?

I am using iPhoto 9.2.1 (OSX 10.6.8) after a recent upgrade. I was accustomed to searching for my photo files within the pictures folder> iphoto > where in addition to the iPhoto library there would be a folder containing all my files organized chronologically and by roll as they were uploaded. Now I find no such folder , instead there is an iPhoto recovered files folder, from my previous libraries and the new files are only accessible by clicking on the iPhoto library icon which opens the application revealing all my stored photos etc, however this way I can't access these pics from say my mail app or if I happen to be on a webmail like yahoo and want to send a pic I can't access the files, where is the iPhoto file folder being kept now? is it accessible or am I dependant on iPhoto to manage all photos I uploaded from my camera? Also while I'm here, why can't I see my camera as an accessible removable drive in the finder but are dependant on a photo app to access my files within the memory card?

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Directly accessing the files via the Finder is not supported. It's also unnecessary and quite inefficient.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of the above are a: faster and b: safer than what you're doing.

Where is my iPhoto on mac pro?

where is m=iphoto on the mac book pro ?
Not standard ?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have just purchased the MacBook Pro, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are free for you, but they don't come preinstalled. Instead, open App Store, go to Purchases tab and accept iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, so they will start downloading and they will be installed. Then, they will be registered to your Apple ID, so you will be able to install it on other Macs for free (using your Apple ID)

Where does the iPhoto library reside?

Where does the iPhoto library reside on your hd? when I go to the search bar above, it shows 2 libraries! I am about out of hd space so I am hoping that it has been duplicated somehow. It's about 36GB. =)
Thanks for your help!
MK

By default it's in your Pictures Folder.
If space is an issue you can move the Library to an external disk:
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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Where are the iPhoto files separate from the program?

Hi.
I am running iPhoto 8.1 in Leopard 10.5.6 on my early 2008 MacBook Pro 15".
I want to "backup" my iPhoto files. How I used to do this before Leopard, was to go into Pictures and find my iPhoto folder and there, I would find all the folders of my imports from my camera, numbered and in order by years, also. I would them just drag and drop each folder into Toast, and when it reached a DVD volume, I would burn a disc.
Now, in Leopard, I cannot find the iPhoto Files Folder. Every way I have tried to access it, I end up with iPhoto and when i click, it opens the program. SO what I have is the open program with the photos in the events.
How do I find and Where is the iPhoto Files Folder.
Thank you.
Waiting for your replies!

How I used to do this before Leopard, was to go into Pictures and find my iPhoto folder and there,
This has nothing to do with Leopard or the Operating System.

The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside? Select the iPhoto Library and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show package Contents'. A Finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
I would find all the folders of my imports from my camera, numbered and in order by years, also. I would them just drag and drop each folder into Toast, and when it reached a DVD volume, I would burn a disc.
Any time you access the iPhoto Library via the Finder or any other application you risk damaging the Library.
If you want to burn a back up using Toast then use the Media Browser built in to Toast or any of the following:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:

Where is my IPhoto library? I updated and the last two years of photos disappeared. Help., Where is my IPhoto library? I updated and the last two years of photos disappeared. Help.

Where is my IPhoto library? I updated and the last two years of photos disappeared. Help., Where is my IPhoto library? I updated and the last two years of photos disappeared. Help.Thank you.

Simple and fast solution: restore from your back up.
Other than that:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use 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.

Installing Panther or Tiger on a G4 450 mhz cube

I have hung on to using OS 9.2.2 on my Cube, and although I have OS 10.1 installed I have never really found it useful. Now though, I am having problems with the browsers I can use with OS 9 on internet scearches ( I mostly use the wamcom version of mozilla now, and I-Cab sometimes). The only way I can see to solve the problem is to install 10.3x or 10.4x and then I can use the safari browser.
Panther and Tiger are both still available if I do a google search. Some versions might be knock-offs and I don't want to waste money if they won't work. Then I worry if I buy a used copy if I will run into pass-word problems. What is my safest way to proceed, and which version should I get.

I think you misunderstood the rep. Tiger can definitely do Classic to run Mac OS 9 programs. I think he meant that the Tiger package does not include a Mac OS 9 installer. As long as you already have Mac OS 9.2.2 installed, you can boot from it and use it for Classic.
384mb is enough. More is better.
This is a list from OWC.
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=128
You don't have to buy from OWC, but those are the specs. Get the largest one you can afford to add to what you have. Hopefully, you still have a slot open.
I'd get Tiger instead of Panther. Software availability is why you are upgrading from Mac OS 9. If you get Panther, you can't even run the latest version of Safari. There are good browser alternatives, but going forward, more and more software will require Tiger or later.

Why upgrade from Panther to Tiger on G4 iMac?

I have two iMacs. I use a G5 recently upgraded from Panther to Leopard 10.5.5. My wife has a G4 with Panther 10.3.9.
Now that I have Leopard I have a Tiger install license available.
Are there good reasons to upgrade my wife's G4 to Tiger?
She uses it heavily for e-mail, internet, and MS Word.
She's networked to my G5 through Airport and we use printer sharing and file sharing.
Her G4 works great, but I'm wondering about security issues.
Comments?
-Bob

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Apple is still releasing Security updates for Panther too, isn't it?
I think some of the Panther software is starting to show its age limitations for Internet capabilities, and things like iTunes for all the new iPods, etc. On one hand if you're not actually having problems then my feeling is an old computer best runs software designed for it. On the other hand I am not sure you would lose any functionality if you did upgrade. I think most Panther applications run on Tiger, the system requirements are pretty similar. It's not like when you upgrade to Leopard that you suddenly lose Classic support and it requires (demands?) a faster processor. From my personal perspective upgrading to Leopard really makes a big difference in capabilities both ways and may even be a negative upgrade if you run old software the way I do. Upgrading from Panther to Tiger didn't have any downsides and had several upsides in terms of software is still being brought out for Tiger.
