Photo downloads to Iphoto
When I try to download photos from my iphone to my Mac I get an error message saying there is Insufficient Disk Space. I deleted over 100 photos and several movies but still get the message. Any help?.
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. .

Why will only half my photos download to iPhoto?
Just got back from a great vacation with a lot of nice shots, but only about half of the photos would download from my Canon PowerShot S30. We have had this problem intermittently with iPhoto since our G5 was brand new. Sometimes all photos download, sometimes a few are missing, and sometimes as much as half. No rhyme or reason to it. The photos will occasionally download after trying reapeatedly. All photos download to a pc with no problem. Why can't we get our iPhoto to do it?
Thanks for any clues to this mystery!On other occasions when I've had the same problem, there were no movie clips.<<<</div>
In that case, I don't know. -
When I do a download from my Sony Memory Stick to iPhoto my photos are imported in reverse order from the sequence they were taken on the camera. I cannot run a slide show since this puts the photos in reverse order. Can anyone tell me how to import the photos in the order they were taken on the camera? Or how to change the sequence in iPhoto without manually moving each photo once they have been downloaded?
mikefla:
Go to the View menu and under the Sort Photo submenu select Ascending. That will change the order in the library. If you already have a slideshow that's reversed from what you want, select all of the thumbnails in the thumbnail tray and drag the first slide to the far right side of the window, waiting until the slider bar completes its left to right move, and the release. That will reverse the order in the slideshow.
You can experiment with the View menu options to get what you want exactly.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
How do I re-download my iphoto library if I can no longer find iphoto on my desktop or in my finder without loosing all of my photos?
How did you install it in the first place? If it came with your Mac, and the Mac didn't come with Lion installed, then reinstall iLife from the Applications disc that was in the box. If you no longer have that disc, you'll have to order a replacement from Apple customer service. Either that, or restore the iPhoto application from your backups.
If you got iPhoto from the App Store, you can download it again by launching the App Store application. -
Aperture = iPhoto + Bridge Photo Downloader + Photoshop?
I am considering to use Aperture to streamline my workflow but I wonder about its file management capability. Let me explain the details:
I love iPhoto to browse, find and preview photos. It provides the most intuitive, easy and fast way for that. The interface is also nice. The photo-editing capability is negligible for me as I use Photoshop for this.
But I really hate the way it manages imported photos as Rolls and keep everything hidden under the 'Package'. So instead, I use Adobe's Bridge Photo Downloader from Photoshop to download photos from my cameras/iPhone and I set it to organize the files into folders: year/year-month/date-time of the photos taken. Then I'd import them to iPhoto - but without copying the originals. So basically I create a Reference Library for my iPhoto. I then tag/assigning Keywords the photos accordingly (I have plenty of keywords assigned). I sometimes create Events or Albums too - especially great for showing photos on my computer to friends and family.
Photoshop is set as the external app to edit photos so from iPhoto I can open the file in Photoshop (which I have been using for all my photo editing needs including RAW).
From what I gathered so far, Aperture seems to be a more efficient alternative to process RAW photos, and I've been wanting to find an alternative to the iPhoto-Bridge-Photoshop method above. Basically I need a Photo App that can do all the following:
1. Import original photos from cameras/iPhone and then automatically organize them chronologically (in folders of year/year-month/date-time of the photo taken) a la Bridge's Photo Downloader
2. Tag/Keywords, create Events and Albums, and to Preview photos quickly a la iPhoto
3. Edit RAW files without harming the original files a la Photoshop
I wonder whether Aperture is suitable for the usage I described above?
Thanks in advance for any inputs!Hi freefire,
So Aperture can import photosfrom cameras/iPhone and automatically organize, rename and save them into folders outside of Aperture Library?
You can rename files on each import. However, saving files is not Aperture's job. If you put the files wherever you want, and then import them into Aperture as referenced images, they stay where they are.
Alternately, and this would be much more tedious, you could import them all into Aperture as managed photos, and then use Aperture to "relocate masters" to somewhere else. That's sort of like two steps where one (my first paragraph) would suffice.
If you want to organize photos by year, that is the job of Aperture. However, that is the job of Aperture *within the confines of Aperture*. Aperture is built primary to help you organize your photos within its database. You can make smart albums to show you every photo from 2010, for instance. That smart album is meaningless in Finder because it is not a primary function of Aperture to help you organize outside of Aperture. Basically, if you want to use Aperture to make directory structures for Finder, you aren't using Aperture in the most effective way.
When I edit a RAW file in Photoshop, Photoshop keeps the new setting within the RAW file itself without creating new file and I can go back and make further changes or revert back to original state - all in the file itself.
Are you sure about that? I thought Photoshop used the sidecar XMP files for that sort of thing. I'm no expert, but there's generally no provision in the file formats (including RAW files) for "this is how you undo something." I don't use Photoshop like that, but it sounds fishy that Photoshop will choose to write new data to a RAW file, as RAW files are proprietary and will never be produced by anything but a camera. It sounds doubly fishy that it will also write *undo data* to a RAW file. Again, I'm no expert at Photoshop, but I am an expert at software engineering, and it sounds pretty strange and error-prone.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3359633
Now, when I do that with Aperture, will Aperture then make a new copy of the RAW file to be kept in Aperture Library?
Aperture will not make a new copy of a master (RAW or not) unless you explicitly duplicate it (and that is not what you are asking about). Aperture, being a Digital Asset Manager, will never modify your masters. (Except if you change the date/time and choose to modify the master.) This is unlike photo editors like Photoshop, which may manipulate their input files and save those changes to the same files. Aperture makes a version, which is a recipe for changing the appearance of your master.

How do I download my photo's on Iphoto on to an external hardrive
I'm trying to download just my photo's from Iphoto onto an external hard drive. A western Digital My Passport for Mac. Can I just drag my photo's onto the hard drive? and how?
Thanks,Hey qxwoman,
If you're just looking to copy particular photos or groups of photos to your external hard drive, then yes, you can drag the chosen photos to the external hard drive.
iPhoto Help - Export a photo
https://help.apple.com/iphoto/mac/9.6/#/pht6e157c5f
However, if you're looking to copy the entirety of your photos that are in iPhoto, it would be best to back up your iPhoto Library to your external HD as detailed in the article below.

I just downloaded an iphoto update and when I tried to share my photos was asked for email and password. I must have typed in the info wrong because I keep getting an error message. I don't see how to change the info to the correct mistake..
I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account. On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account. If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to. It did not send to back up email account either.
Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
Can I have 2 apple ids?
If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
(won't let me)
If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it. -
After downloading a new batch of photos, all my iPhoto pictures have disappeared - I have tried to recover them - assume they are in my machine somewhere but how do I get them back? iPhoto is working with all new photos but the old ones have disappeared. Also my screensaver using a picture from my library changed overnight to an apple photo.
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. -
Can't move photos from SD card to Trash after download into iPhoto
The past few times I've tried to delete photos downloaded via a card reader from my SD card to iPhoto, I have been unable to do so.
I receive the message: "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. Error code -61."
This problem only started with the last four or five photo downloads I've made.
Any suggestions? Thanx.Try reformatting your card with your camera. That will clear the card and probably fix the issue as well.
And is a better workflow since it eliminates the possibility of losing photos due to a computer glitch and renews the format of your card every time

After downloading photos from my Nikon, I accidentally deleted them from the card. The photos are in IPhoto. Can I recover them to the camera card?
Probably -will your card mount to the desktop? If not you will need a card reader - select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - mount the card to the desktop and drag the photos to the corredct folder on it

When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?
Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
1360 x 1360 = 1.0
790 x 640 = 1.23
2048 x 1366 = 1.5
An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing. The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

How do you download photos w/o iphoto
how do you download photos w/o iphoto
If you don't have iPhoto, you can get photos off your camera using the Image Capture utility.
If you have JPEG photo files in a Finder folder, you can drag and drop them into your iMovie Project from there. TIFF and PNG may also work. -
Help. I downloaded the OS lion. Then I imported some photos with the "iPhoto". But I see only the photos in the "last import" but I can not see in the library or photos of events, although they are marked as a number.
