Photo album in iPhoto

How do you like iPhoto as an organizing tool for your photos?

I've been using iPhoto sense around 2004-05, (knock on wood) haven't lost or misplaced a single photo in all those years and upgrades.
Likewise I've always kept multiple back-ups of photos on CD's (in the old days) and now External Hard Drives for peace of mind, but to be honest I've never had to dig them out except to up date them.

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!

Cannot access shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3 on mac

I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3. The directions in help tell me to go to iPhoto preferences > photo stream, and check the box next to "select the shared photo stream checkbox". There is no such option in my version. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3
Is this a shared photo album from iPhoto on a mobile device or a Shared Photo Stream?
If a shared Photo Stream you should have this preference pane in iPhoto 9.4.3:
Check the boxes as shown in this screenshot and then go to the Photo Stream section in iPhoto and see if they appear.

HT1048 Hi, I'm trying to order a photo album through IPhoto, my billing address is in the UK but I'd like the book to be sent to an address in the US. I cant change the shipping address to US.

Hi, I'm trying to order a photo album through IPhoto, my billing address is in the UK but I'd like the book to be sent to an address in the US. Step 3 says enter shipping address, I go to enter new address and the only country it offers is the UK, I cant change the shipping address to US.

Go to File / Provide Feedback and tell Apple that you want this enhancement in their product.

I want to compress or zip a photo album in iPhoto to a dvd cd

i want to compress or zip a photo album in iPhoto to a dvd cd

Why do you want to zip it? and what exactly is it? If your photos are JPEGs then they are very compressed and zipping is not going to save much if any space - it might increase the size even
If is is an iPhoto album of photos then open the album in iPhoto and select all - export to a desktop folder (see Exporting From iPhoto for options) and select the folder in the finder and right click - either burn to disk or compress and then burn to disk
If it is a photo book then
Before preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF - right click on it and either burn to disk or compress and then burn the compressed file to disk

When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality. What am I doing wrong?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

Lost original photos/albums in iPhoto 2

Last week the photo albums in iPhoto vanished...when I was able to find them by stumbling around the hard drive they didn't contain original pix--only pointers to the original pix. In addition, I could never track down all of the originals to help put them back into iPhoto and start rebuilding albums.
Couple of questions:
1) Some of the original pix were never deleted but I can't find them. Why not?
2) I recently bought a Lacie drive to serve as a backup. How do I find the pictures on the backup? What folder are they in?

Ken:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you perform the backup and with what software? Look/search on your external HD for a folder title "iPhoto Library". If you find it that may be your entire library. Open it up and see if it looks like this. Do not move anything around or rename anything (see Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder). If it is your library can copy it back to your Pictures folder, replacing the new, empty library there. Now open iPhoto and you should have your library back.
If you don't have your library intact you can do a Finder search of your external HD with the following criteria: Name contains .jpg and Size is greater than 50 KB. That will find all full sized image files on your external HD. You can tell where they are by clicking on one in the search results and checking out the path to the file.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

I'm trying to order some photo albums from iphoto for chistmas gifts and there is a notification that keeps popping up telling me I need to send to a p.o. box, the mailing address IS a po box and it still won't let me order. What do I do?

I've not seen this message but would think that it might say that you can not send to a PO Box - exactly what is the error message?

I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

You do not move the albums - you move the entire iphoto library intake as a single entity
Make sure your external drive is formatted Ma OS extended (journaled) - then
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do i get my iPhone photo albums to iPhoto albums

i am trying to make albums in my iphoto that look like my photos app on my i phone and i would like to know how to do that

You can create albums in iPhoto on your Mac by selecting photos and using the command "File > New Album".
What features exactly from your Photos.app do you want to simulate in iPhoto on your Mac?
iPhoto on the Mac does not have the "Moments" view with the date and the location. But the "Events" view will show you the date and the map, when you select an event and click the "info" button.

Help with Importing Photo Albums from Iphoto

I have created a bunch of albums in iphoto and wish to transfer them to my ipod. However, when i go to the photos tab of itunes when my ipod is plugged in and i try to select Sync from Iphoto it says that i have 0 photos in iphoto. i have tried selecting individual folders of photos to import and that works just fine, but i want to be able to select the albums that i already created in iphoto.
thanks for your help

Apologies, you're right, it should be albumdata.xml.
Have a read of this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=778068&tstart=0
About 2/3'rds of the way down, DaveE has the following post:
- View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
- Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
- The XML under that looks kind of like this:
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<string>Favorite</string>
<key>6</key>
<string>Birthday</string>
<key>3</key>
</dict>
You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<string>Favorite <key>6</key>
<string>Birthday</string>
<key>3</key>
</dict>
Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.
So try to use the method above to identify which keyword might have a problem, rather than go on a witch hunt and waste a lot of time. Of course, your problem could be different from mine entirely, but my iLife apps had the same problem you described.
Try it and see if it helps.

When I create a new photo album in Iphoto it adds all my photos in the library

I love my macbook pro but still not fully understanding Iphoto. When I create a new photo album and drag photos over from a disk it seems to add all photos from my library. When I remove them it removes them from all the albums. HELP!

Add the photos from your disc to iPhoto, then drag them from the iPhoto Event or photos to the Album.
You can delete photos from the Album without removing them from the computer. If you delete them in the Photos or Events area, they are removed from iPhoto, therefore taking them out of the Album.
The photos have to be in iPhoto to exist in an Album. They cannot exist in an Album and not be in iPhoto..
Hope that helps...

How do I delete photo albums in iphoto on my ipad?

How do I delete albums in iphoto on my iPad?

Photos or albums are not deleted in iPhoto for iOS since
iPhoto for iOS uses the photos stored in the Photos app.
You can delete photos stored in the photos app that were taken by the iPad, copied from websites, received via photostream or received in an email directly on the iPad.
To delete albums copied to the iPad during a sync with your computer you need to do another sync. Once your iPad is connected to your computer deselect the albums in the Photos tab of iTunes that you no longer want on the iPad and then click on Apply or Sync.

Can I send a photo album from iPhotos to an address abroad?

I've created a photo album for friends who live in North America (we live in Europe), when I try to change the ship to address, it defaults to Europe. Ideally, I'd like to send the album directly to my friend rather than having it shipped to me..... Any suggestions?

The country of the shipping address and the billing address must be the same. To send a print order directly to North America, you need to have the book printed by the American Print Store and use an AppleID and Credit card valid with an american billing address.
You set the Print Products store in the iPhoto Preferences > Advanced panel.
See this support article: Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)
