Password protecting an event or album in iPhoto.

Is it possible to restrict access to a photo event or an album in iPhoto?

i think you mean moving an album created in iPhoto to -for example- "Pictures"....
No I don't. The most simple, but insecure way, to keep some content confidential is to create a second library and import that material to it.
If you want security store that Library on an encrypted Disk Image, so no one can mount the disk image without the password.

IPhoto 8.1.2 how can you set a password on an event or album?

I am downloading pictures from my iphone 4 to my iphoto on my mac and I wanted to set a password on a certain group of pictures and was wondering how to do that for the iPhoto 8.1.2 version.

You can't. It's not a feature of iPhoto.
For photos you want to hide from Mommy, put them in a Library stored on an encrypted disk image.

Photos deleted a ton of photos (several events/categories/albums in iPhoto). I have backups on Time Machine but I can't go back further than the date I installed Photos, even though backups are there. Anyone have any ideas?

I have been looking forward to an improvement to iPhoto but have found Photos to be worse than useless, unfortunately. It uses all my resources, crashes and freezes constantly. Not only that, the events/albums/categories I have spent countless hours sorting have been completely eliminated. Without this, the app is of no use to me. So, fine, I'll revert to iPhoto, but a ton of my photos are now missing. It shouldn't be a big deal, because I use Time Machine regularly, but Time Machine won't let me restore any time past the date I installed the OS update (the backups are there). Any suggestions?

Your Time Machine backup lets you go back to directly the moment after you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3? There must have been some interval between the upgrade and the first launch of Photos.
Try, if you can see the original iPhoto Library in the first backup. Directly after the migration it will have a filename extension ".migratedphotolibrary", but this library should still work with iPhoto, nothing changed but the extension.

Can't sync all events and albums from iphoto 08 to ipod touch 4th generation using itunes

Hi from San Juan! Just got my new ipod touch 4th generation, since my 2nd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and when it finished its sync process, I noticed that out of my 16,000 + photos in iphoto, only 2,435 were synced. Tried again numerous times, changing options, ("selected albums and events", "all" etc,), but nothing worked. Ever since I've had my Mac, I've only used iphoto to download, organize and share my photo collection; same cameras also. With my previous ipod, the sync process ran smoothly, and always got ALL my albums and events under the "photos" icon of my ipod. What's happened? What's changed? I'll welcome suggestions and / or solutions. Thanks in advance. Sandra

where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch..... So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot.....
thank u

No. You can password protect the entire iPhone in Settings but not individual apps.

Can I password protect my iMovie 9 or 11 event and/or project?

I have created an event in iMovie09 using the internal MACbook camera. I want to password protect the event so that no one can open/view the movie without the appropriate password - I need to provide 2 levels of security for the movie for privacy purposes. Can I save the file outside of iMovie, password protect it, and then import it into iMovie when I'm ready to view? I'm open to multi-step ways to make it happen!

you have diff. options:
• what I would do, simply purchase some small 2.5" usb-drive, drag Project&Events FROM WITHIN iMovie onto it and put ext.drive in a 'secure' place. whenever you have to work with these Events, plug it in, you're done.
• … if Events are small, and wallet big, you get 128GBs usb-flash mem-sticks .... tape the stick under a drawer (omg! I told the secret place!!)
• if you need that extra grain of security: after transfering the two folders, create a disk-image with the disk-utility, apply a secure password, drag both folders into it - you can NOT work from such a disk-image, you have to have it manually open and drag both folders out of it into original location.
btw: you lose the pw, all data is lost! no way to restore it … ok, some friends in Fort Meade could ……
• finally: why keeping this stuff at all? complete the Project, export the final movie, erase all traces. keep the movie where and how you like (see above suggestions).
being paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you!
scnr, I HAD to add that

Is it possible to password protect albums in iPhoto

Hi all,
some of the albums I have in iPhoto contain material not suitable to everyone having acces to my Mac. So I would like to password protect certain albums. Is that possible?

Ehhh indeed, there are a couple of very easy ways to do this:
Have two accounts: one for you and one for everybody else.
Or
Put these files on an encrypted disk image.
Look at it from a programmer's point of view: you want everything to be open and accessible except for the bits you don't want open and accessible. These bits that are not to be shared are arbitrary and defined by you alone and based on content. iPhoto may know that Jpeg is a photograph, but has no way of knowing what it's a photo of. The only way to protect things is to change their format. So, you encrypt the file. iPhoto doesn’t offer encryption - it's a $15 photo app and does not claim to offer everything - so you use the two options the OS offers for doing the same job.

Password protect iPhoto albums when viewed on an iPad

Hello - I use my iPad to showcase work to a range of clients. Curiosity is a wonderful aspect of human nature, but we know what it did to the cat!
Is it possible to create a password protection for albums so I can happily handover my iPad to clients for them to browse their visuals/photoshoots etc. without them being able to open albums with creatives in for other clients.
Thanks
Martin

One for the iPad forum, I think.

How can I lock / password protect an album?

I have iPhoto 6. Is there any way I can lock / secure / password protect
1. film rolls within the Library
2. Specific Albums and Slideshows I have created?
Thank you,
HDP

HDP,
There is a Mac 101 tutorial that may help. Try this page first, then scroll down to where it says "About User Accounts". A bit below that is "Creating User Accounts". It may or may not be useful for you, as I think the tutorials are based on Tiger, and your specs show you on Panther. But take a look, since it might be close enough to help you figure it out on your Mac.

Can the default image for a password protected album be changed?

Apologies in advance if this question has already been asked. I have created a number of photo albums to my web gallery and password protected each of them. When I navigate to the main web gallery page however, each of the galleries appear as a black and white graphic of two photos. Is there any way to change this to something else?
Also, is there a way to send out an invitation to view the gallery as a whole and therefore let people view the albums they want? I just really love the invite card that is created when the album is published from iPhoto.
Many thanks in advance.

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

Turned on sharing in iPhoto on my iMac. My MacBook sees all the photos but not all events or albums appear. I have many albums in several folders. Any suggestions?

IPhoto - MobileMe gallery subscription - problem with password-protected

I am having a peculiar problem with subscribed galleries from MobileMe in iPhoto 08 and iPhoto 09. For galleries that have password-protection enabled, the full URL of the gallery subscription feed is pulled through as the Subscription title instead of the gallery title.
For example "http://gallery.e.com/ACCOUNT-NAME/XXXXXX/?webdav-method-truthget&depth=infinit y&feedfmt=atom....
This doesn't occur for public MobileMe galleries. The title of the gallery comes across and the URL of the subscription is hidden.
Anyone having similar problems? Local Genius Bar couldn't help and assumed it was just a bug, but it doesn't seem to be typical of Apple.
As an aside, it would also be nice to have these feed subscriptions behave similarly to the way RSS subscriptions work in Mail, with the ability to select how often the feed is queried and indicate the number of new items. This would alert users of changes to feeds.
Joe

Upon further research, it appears that this problem occurs when publishing from either iPhoto or Aperture to MobileMe. The problem seems to be when a gallery is published and one chooses not to have the gallery appear on the main gallery page (hidden). It seems to have nothing to do with whether or not one protects the gallery with a password.
So, Apple, if you are listening, can you provide any information on how to have the title of the gallery come through when subscribing using iPhoto while at the same time not listing the gallery on the main MobileMe gallery page? This seems to be a fixable bug.

Iphoto, Creating events and Albums

I have attempted to create events and albums on the photo app in Ipad with no success. I have also synced the iPad to itunes and transfered pictures from an existing iphoto (macbook pro) event with no success. How can i create events and albums on the Ipad so i can seperate new pictures into specific areas for viewing.

You can't. Photos on the iPad doesn't have organising features. You can't create groupings, or copy from one event/whatever to another. You have limited features in the 'camera roll' for images you've saved onto the iPad - you can delete them or share them.
Your organising has to be done on the Mac in iPhoto or Aperture. Both create Events based on metadata from the image (date and time and so on). You can make albums and sync the albums to the iPad.
I know that isn't what you want, but it's all we've got. It bears repeating - the iPad is not a completely standalone device - it's dependent on a desktop and iTunes for its full functionality.
