Dear All,
I made several photos many times ago... After I put them in several maps, Each photo received there own name, I replaced them from those that the camera gives...So now I want too put each photo on my IPad but when I'm looking too the name he changed this in "photo 1jepeg..." and not in the name that I give before ...
So Is their a solution for this....
thank

Chris,
You would open Image Capture (in your Application folder) and set your preference there (weird, huh!)
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.

If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Changing a photo name after importing

Can you tell me if it is now possible to change the 'original' name given to a photo once it has been assigned. I have stayed off iphoto because although it was possible to update the 'displayed' name in iphoto, the underlying name always stayed the same.This caused problems elsewhere. I have been using Picassa up to now becuase this did allow the underlying photo name to be updated. I know there is software out there that gets round this, but is the iphoto core product now capable ?

I understand the point. The issue arises when (in my case) I use the 'media collector' on my HP Media Smart EX490. This collects any new files automatically and stores them in the file structure they have been placed in on the Mac. Because this works from the file name, you can get a mismatch between what is on the HP Media Smart and the photo name on the Mac. Not the end of the world I know, but, up to now, by using Picassa instead I have been able to change the file name to match the photo. This causes the media collector to re-collect the photo using the new file name, so everything stays in step. I am sure there must be other examples out there, so it may well be that if Apple added this function they would promote some switchers from Picasa to Iphoto. Thanks for your help anyway.

Issue Updating Photo Names in Web Gallery

There is a sync issue with Web Galleries when the photo name is updated in iPhoto while another update is occurring simultaneously. The changes made in iPhoto are lost.
The 7.0.2 Update does not fix this issue.
It seems there should be the option to "update now" and make the web gallery look just like the iPhoto version.
Anyone else have this issue?

pschlampp:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The syncing works correctly for me. Try clearing out the iPhoto Cache folders that are in your User/Library/Caches folder and delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist that's in the User/Library/Preferences folder. See if that will let you update titles as intended.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photo names in slide shows.

Hi. Simple question. I can see how to add captions to a slide show (under preferences) but I would like to know if you can add the photo name to it (Besides the obvious of copying the name to the caption)? I'm using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista. What I need to do is take the photos, put them in a slide show, and give to a friends family so she and they can look at them and pick out which one(s) they want to print. With the photo names it would make life a lot easier. Thanks.

Wrong forum. Elements is two doors down on the left.

Photo name not reflecting in iPhoto

Hi everyone... Forgive me for this question while I am on a learning curve w/ my Mac. I have a question about photo names not reflecting in iPhoto. I recently loaded some pictres from a compact flash card, and iPhoto started and pulled them right in. I went to the Finder, navigated to Pictures, then the iPhoto library. I found the pictures, and used Automator to change the name of the photos. I opened iPhoto, and went to the Album I created, and all the photos have the old name as given by my camera. I cannot find what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help. Chris

Viewing file extensions as part of photo name?

How can I set iPhoto to display the extension of every photo in every view where it displays the photo name? I often have several versions of a photo, which look very similar in thumbnail views. The only way I know to see which is the RAW file, which is the jpeg or tiff or even Photoshop file, is to right-click, or to keep the rather large and annoying Extended Photo Info box open. Isn't there some way to simply show all filenames with their extensions attached, so that I could look in any Event or Album and see at a glance which one is the .cr2 or .jpg or .tif etc? I certainly don't want to create albums with just the jpegs and more albums with just the RAW files. I like having them together but it's a nuisance and a time-waster not to be able to just read the file names to know which is which. SURELY there is a way!

Exporting iphoto 08 album to USB or DVD/CD individual photo names lost

Hi All,
Trying to export iphoto album's using iphoto 08 to either DVD, CD or USB or Media card.
Problem: Either all the names of the individual pictures are replaced with a number OR some photo names/descriptions appear and the rest in the album are numbered.
I do not care about the order of the photo's.
I just want to give a copy to a family member with the names on them. Some of photos are from 1800 & early 1900's so I don't want to lose the information with them. Nothing worse than a whole lotta photos that you don't know who or what they are about.
Any help here??
Thanks!
Cherisse

When you added this information in iPhoto you added a "Title" to the photo, and the Finder (which is what reads the disk or USB device) doesn’t understand that. it just uses Filenames.
So, File -> Export and in the Export dialogue choose to use the Title as filename.
Regards

There are photo names, ie 101.jpg in the body of the email, word 'photo' in header. I cannot view the image.

It may be malware/virus

Changing Photo Name

I find it hard to believe there is no way to change the name of a photo once it is imported into iWeb. But so far, I cannot find a way. I do not see this as a problem on the web page itself, but if someone downloads the photo, they'll get the original name. A few of which are embarrassing.
How can I change the photo name besides starting all over?

Yes,
You need to run the script right after each time you publish to folder.
The script will look for photo page(s) in the published folder and apply photo captions to the published photo file names, and re-link the new photo names in the .js file (this is for the slideshow).
There is one thing though, I wrote the script to pad out any spaces in the captions with underscore.
Example: caption: "Twisted tree 1" , the script will name the file to "Twistedtree1.jpg" . The reason is that many FTP servers don't like spaces in file name.
You can get there script here: iWeb Photos Rename
I will post in another thread for this fix.

Photo names but no photo preview....

All of the sudden, when I click on the Photos tab in iMovie, I can see all the photo names, but only some of the photos actually preview. Also, I can't click on the photos that don't also preview.
I've done nothing to my iPhotos that I can think of... I can boot to my external drive which is a mirror (cloned copy) of my internal and they all show up.
Any ideas on what is causing this? I've done the Cocktail, Diskwarrior and TechTool Pro stuff to no avail.
I grabbed a picture in case anyone would like to know what I'm talking about.

File name is iMoviePhotos_NoShow

Thanks! That worked! Two things to note: I didn't have grayed out photos in iPhotos, just all the sudden viewing photos from within iMovie; launching iMovie immediately after apply the rebuild did not resolve the problem. I was thinking the fix didn't work but the next time I opened iMovie, there were all the photos.
Thanks again for helping me!

Is original photo name hiding somewhere

When renaming photos, either by batch change or individually, then when viewing Info the new name is shown. However, when choosing to edit in Photoshop then the original photo name is used, i.e. IMG_7645. I presume because the new name belongs only in iPhoto whereas the IMG name remains within the photo for ever. My question is, if this is the case, then where/how, having given it a new name, can I also view the original photo name in iPhoto?
As an extra question, I haven't found out how to return the edited photo (by Import/Export) from Photoshop directly to iPhoto without it being via the Desktop. Is this possible?
Arnold

As an extra question, I haven't found out how to return the edited photo (by Import/Export) from Photoshop directly to iPhoto without it being via the Desktop.
The following may help with your workflow:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Batch Changing Photo Names and E-mailing them

Hi
I batch change my photos names in Iphoto to text (I think it is.) So I can date or name events. However when I e-mail the photos to a friend, he receives them with the original numbers that my digital camera had assigned to them.
When I look back to my sent mail folder, the photos are how I had re-named them with the batch change.
I don't get it, can I get some help here as to how I can e-mail photos and have them arrive with their modified names.
Thanks
T. Rod

T. Rod:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will have to export those photos to a folder on the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new file name. Then add them to the email. That's the only way to get files with the title as the file name.

Any way to show photo page without photo names?

You can always select each photo name and delete it, but it still loads as an (empty) item when browsing... I cant find any "show/hide photo titles" option anywhere...

please open the inspector pane.
choose the inspector pane for graphic (it is the third from right).
move the slider for "subtitle size" to the left.
subtitles of the pictures are away then.
(please excuse if the terms are not correct - I translated them on-the-fly from the german version of iWeb)

Changed all my photos names by accident..

By accident I changed all my photos names. All my 30.000 pictures have the same name now.( with different numbers at the end.) How can I fixe this. I have an old back up catalogue with the right names. Or is my only option to copy my back up from my external hard drive to my computer and synchronise it in lightroom..
is there anyone hiow can help me??
groet Igor

If you changed these file names by accident in your operating system, I think your only choice is to move the backup photos to the exact same folders where the original photos are located.

Why won't Apple put the photo name in the Photos app?!

I keep hoping that Apple will do a very simple thing and that is put the photo name/title in the Photos app for iOS. It's not even available in the iOS version of iPhoto as near as I can tell. This one simple thing would be a tremendous boon to anyone showing photos under any circumstances. "1 of 55" is not very helpful. What possible reason could make this undesirable? It isn't confusing or cluttering up the interface. Nothing is as simple as syncing photos to an iPad with iTunes; I've looked at Photosmith, and while a very nice app, you have to create & publish individual collections from Lightroom one at a time. Does anyone know if it's possible to force the title to be shown? I've read that the information isn't even transferred to the iPad or iPhone but at least some metadata is transferred for iOS iPhoto.

You can let Apple know that you would like this feature:
