Passsword protecting a mobileme album sent from iPhoto

I use to know how to do this but its not working right (or I"m not). I choose the photos I want in iPhoto. I click the share button at bottom of the iphoto screen. It opens and says new album I pick that and then in the drop down box it says who can see it "everyone" or "only me". I want it password protected so I pick only me. Then I pick a password that is already in there. then I say ok. However, when I go to the mobileme gallery like a visitor would. I can't even see that album, its hidden. (after I sign out of it and clear cache in Safari). So I'm guessing "only me" means no one else can see it.
What I want to do is have only my family see it with the correct password but they can't the entire album is hidden! How do I password protect it but not hide it?
I also just went to iphoto and I can click on this hidden album and click on view on the menu bar and the "info" that opens up a side pane that lets me change the settings but my only choice there seems to be only I can see it or everyone. I want everyone with a password to see it. Please help this is so confusing. I have 4 albums in there that are public, which I want them to be, anyone can see them. But this 5th album I just want people with the password to see. Now its totally hidden from everyone but me and when I change that its available for everyone to see with no pass.
Thanks for any help I"m so confused.

First time I've heard of this one. Not sure if these suggestions will help but give them a try if you haven't already.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How do i delete a photo album sent from my pc from my iphone 5c

this website is useless, talk about being led a merry dance by apple!
All I want to know is how the **** do i delete a photo album (sent from my pc) from my iphone 5c....how hard can it be to find out??????

Cheers Chris,
I was not being disrespectful to the forum, I was however doing so to Apple and their usless customer service, technical support, website that takes you round and round in circles and total lack of contact us facility (unless you live in the US).
Everywhere I go they want me to log in AGAIN and AGAIN and then they send stupid messsages to my phone that do nothing unlike they tell me. For something so simple it has taken days and I mean days for them to even let me find how to post the message asking for help and as for my local Apple store....don't get me started as they didn't know how to do it.
It's not very well explained anywhere and I have done it by default following your reply so thanks. They go on about being a super company but ask them directly for help and nothing. In all honesty when I go to itunes it doesn't show you any way to remove such albums and all I can see is the sync thing that says what do I want to sync...I did it by syncing an empty folder from my pc, shouldn't be that hidden and un-explained.
Cheers again and apologies if you thought I was being rude.

How to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto

Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.

Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?

1. Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?
2. Why does it always ask for a password before sending, when I'm already logged in?

If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords

Anyone know why the "Make Picasa Web Albums tags from iPhoto keywords" option does not seem to work? I expected to see the keywords I added to my photo in iPhoto also in Picasa on the web after they have been uploaded.
Downloaded and installed "Picasa Web Albums Uploader" version 1.3.1.680 from Google. Then from within iPhoto did a File > Export. The above option is shown on the "Picasa Web Albums" tab. I am using iPhoto 09.
Thank you very much for your help.

For help with the Picasa Web Albums Uploader, best to seek advice from the makers, after all, no one knows it better than they do.

IPhoto 11 - when receiving photos sent from iPhoto 11- can't reply...

My friend sent me photos directly from her iPhoto 11. When I went to reply to her email with the photos, I hit reply, but I am unable to type anything in. When I went to click out of Mail, it froze and I had to force quit.
I called another friend who also uses iPhoto 11, and had her send photos from iPhoto 11, also, so I could see if it was just happening with one person. Turns out, the same thing happens.
I open the email with the photos that were sent to me directly from iPhoto 11, and, again, I am unable to reply, and then, my Mail program freezes and I have to force quit.
Is anyone else having this problem? Try sending yourself photos directly from iPhoto 11 and see what happens.
(FWIW, I have iPhoto '09 ). My friends don't do the forums so I figured I'd post and try to find out what's wrong with iPhoto 11 and if it's a known issue. (they are both using iMacs- Mountain Lion)
Thanks!

No, it is not my email program. This has been tested out on other computers, as well. I spoke to a lot of folks who have iPhoto 11 and they said they have been having issues with people who can't reply to their emails ONLY when they send photos using iPhoto.
These same people sent me photos as attachments, sans use of iPhoto and no problem. They also tested it by sending photos via iphoto to other friends as well, and, those people also can not reply to them, either, be it on a Mac or a PC, yet, when the photos are inluded as attachments or drag and dropped in, the emails are able to be replied to.
Thanks, though, but there's nothing wrong my my email program.
FWIW, they also sent themselves photos via iPhoto and had the same problem. It's iPhoto 11.

Why can't iPhone play movies in MobileMe galleries published from iPhoto?

I have movies published to my MobileMe galleries from iPhoto or QuickTime. They are in .m4v format, but the iPhone doesn't play them. Does anyone know why?

I have the same problem...movies uploaded directly from iPhoto to the MobileMe gallery. When you double-click on the movies to play, you get, "Quicktime is unable to play this movie. Please try again." This happens regardless of whether I'm logged into MobileMe or viewing my gallery as anyone else would.
If I upload movies from iMovie, they work fine. Anyone have any ideas?

Albums gone from iphoto

I recently backed up everything to a USB flashdrive. Went to iphoto today (icon on desktop), no albums(600 pictures)
Found them on hard drive: (user name)-Documents-Pictures-iPhoto Library-Albums.
I could move a single jpeg onto iPhoto page.
I tried moving one of the albums folders into iPhoto open page, (got a green plus sign) but got an error message "couldn't create --etc." for each of the 30 jpegs.
What should I do? I need very explicit directions.

Nothing happens when I hold shift and option key while double clicking on iPhoto. I had imported one jpeg from within Picture folder to iPhoto..so application is working. BUT,
When I find my lost ipegs a picture opens in Preview. I can't move it to iPhoto. Message is Could not be imported (they may be an unrecognizible file type,...etc.
It is possible I moved the Picture folder when trying to condense and clean up stuff. So perhaps this is too complicated to solve this way. ??
Is there a way to tell me where the iPhoto Library should be?
I have 2, one in /my name/Documents/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Albums (these open in Preview)
The other in/my name/Pictures/iPhoto Library (aliases)
At this point I would be glad to be able to import from Preview format to iPhoto.
Thanks, Sr Citz

Photo album disappears from iphoto

My two most recent albums keep disappearing from iPhoto, and thus from my iPad and iPhone. I've repaired permissions and the iPhoto database, but no joy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Remember: we cannot see your machine. 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. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained 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.

Where does an email sent from iphoto go?

I emailed a photo from iphoto and now I can't find where it when to? It is not in my sent box of mail so where is it now?

If you want to use a template to display your photos in the email try using one of Mail's photo templates:
This way you can have a copy in the Sent mailbox and more easily add multiple addresses.

Friend unable to save photo sent from iPhoto

This is weird but maybe one of you have encountered it. A friend who has Windows XP :>( can view photos I send from iPhoto but she apparently can't SAVE them. It may be a problem peculiar to her machine. I tried attaching one directly to e-mail but it's way too big. I tried using the FILE/EXPORT method, resizing to half size which worked on my end and am waiting to hear if she could save it.
Anyone have any ideas?

I sent out a plea for help to knowledgeable people in my e-mail address book (amazing how few but then - I don't count myself as knowledgeable).
Apparently this is an actual problem - but it’s erratic. One person e-mailed the following:
“Well, I saved this into my file folder on my pc...then I opened it and it was there. Then I copied it and put it into this e-mail to send to you.”
Another person - who was manager of a Windows Forum that I belonged to and very knowledgeable sent the following:
“It would not open in Internet Explorer.
I tried it again using Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/).
Right click>copy>paste in Irfanview>save as....it worked. Irfanview is a free photo editing software.
It does work in Paint. Right click copy>paste in Paint>save as a Jpeg”
So the problem is solved - by outsiders without a Mac - LOL. I should have thought of Irfanview - I do have it - via Boot Camp on my Mac- and on my old PC which is not connected to the internet. I wish Irf had a Mac version - it isn’t a highly sophisticated photo editing program but it can open files that no other programs can & is spot on when it comes to resizing.
My friend has responded:
“Hi: Well I downloaded Irfanview and low and behold, it worked. I now have your picture as my screensaver. Thanks for all the help! Looks like something I should keep in mind when I have other files or whatever I can't open.”

Email sent from iphoto is not listed in sent file

I use an iphoto template to share pictures in iphoto email. The emails are being received but they do not show up in my sent file so I can not check to be sure they were actually sent. I can't figure out why ????

iPhoto doesn't have a "sent file". Simply, emailing from iPhoto is a handy way to send pics to Grandma, it's not a substitute for an email client.
You can bcc yourself automatically. It's an option in the iPhoto Preferences.

Facebook album missing from iphoto

I am using both iPhoto and Aperture, and both are linked to my Facebook account. However, the primary photo album I use on Facebook - the default "Mobile uploads" album - does not show up in either application. All the other albums do...and if I create a new album in Facebook, it nearly immediately shows up in iPhoto. I've tried removing my Facebook account and re-adding it, but each time I do it goes through and syncs up the albums and omits the Mobile Uploads.
Any ideas how to gently nudge iPhoto (and/or Aperture) into noticing that album on Facebook?
Here's a clue about what may be the source of the problem. Some time ago, when I first connected Aperture to my Facebook account something happened and I had two Mobile Uploads albums and, if I remember correctly, they seemed to be duplicates of each other. So I deleted one of them, thinking somehow Aperture was goofing off and displaying the same album twice. But I believe what I later found, is that the folder that was left behind was a static copy of the "live" Mobile Uploads album on Facebook - so I think I deleted the live one. This became clear when I added new photos to the album on Facebook and they were not updating in Aperture.
So it seems like somewhere my Mac is being told to ignore that album. Interestingly, I got a new Mac a couple of months ago, and it also ignores Mobile Uploads folder so it seems like that instruction is coming from Facebook, rather than being controlled by something locally on my Mac (I didn't import anything from my old Mac).
Just theories...I have no idea what's actually going on. But I want to tell iPhoto and/or Facebook "Hey look...forget what you may have been told in the past. Here's a Facebook account, and here's a copy of iPhoto. You guys talk, and show all the albums currently in that Facebook account in iPhoto."
Any help?

I think if you go to this link you can fill out a form which sends a message to iTunes support:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Symptoms.do
I found that by going to the Express Lane (https://expresslane.apple.com/), clicking "iTunes" under product categories, clicking "iTunes Store", and selecting "Purchases, Billing, and Redemption".

Albums missing from iPhoto albums folder

I have just noticed that whenever I create a new album in iPhoto, it does not get put into the pictures>iPhoto Library>albums file. It does not seem to be anywhere when doing a search in finder, although the album is on the iPhoto window. I have older albums, but no newer ones. I like to be able to find photos in albums this way when moving to Photoshop. Any idea where they are and why they are not being created in this file? I cannot find any preferences that would have had them moved and like I said, can't seem to find them anywhere.

New? About 2005 with v5 of the application.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: 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.
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. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
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.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *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.
3. *Show File*: 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.

Since upgrading to Lion, my PC recipients are not receiving photos I attach to the email sent from iphoto. Why?

Since I upgraded to Lion, my photos are not attached to emails. Example: I select photos in iphoto, click Share and send the email.
Recipients tell me that there is 'nothing attached, no photo attached." Can you help?

This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!
