Places feature in iPhoto '09 superrr slow! Help!

I've got a very big problem. Places feature in iPhoto 09 is so slow. The thing is that I thought that this problem was caused by slow computer.... I previouslu owned iMac Core Duo. But now I bought the newest one... Alu Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz... And I'm still occuring this problem? Is it possible that there is some error with my library? I exported it from my previous system and selected it on my new Mac when I was starting iPhoto for the first time (with alt button). Can anyone help me? I would be grateful.

Just a few questions to get us started: When you say that you exported your library from your previous system did you copy/transfer the whole of the folder iPhoto Library to the new system without making any modifications to it? How many photos have you in your library? Are you using the same version of iPhoto? You might try some of the rebuild option available when restarting iPhoto while holding down alt and cmd.

  • Address book "places" feature Possible??

    I would like to search my contacts list by location, on a map (similar to the "places" feature in iPhoto). For instance, if I am in Dallas on business, I'd like to be able to search for all contacts in my address book who have a Dallas address and map out ALL of them. This includes searches by zip code, area code, state, etc. I understand the address book is already paired with google maps and it's possible to map out a contact for driving directions etc, but that can only be done with ONE contact. I want to be able to see ALL of the contacts for a specific region. Possible??

    Hi, I have no idea how it ties in with Google Maps, but have you tried making a Smart Group that say contains Dallas?

    Has anyone out there used the Nikon P6000's built in GPS features with iPhoto 09's Places feature? I am interested in buying the camera and wanted to know if there were others that have used the GPS features with iPhoto.

    I would like to use an external monitor (plasma tv) with my MacBook Pro also, which has a resolution 1365x768 - a resolution which is not available under the Display Preferences. I can use the plasma at a 4:3 radio resolution, but I don't see ANY 16:9 radio resolutions available.
    Have you found a solution to this yet?

  • IPhoto is extremely slow after upgrading to OSX Maveric

    Has anyone noticed that iPhoto is extremely slow after upgrading to OSX Maverick

    I've noticed that it isn't.
    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. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain 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.

  • Cannot import .jpe photos from iPhoto to Aperture.  Help!

    I have just installed Aperture 2.1.2 trial version to explore if it will serve my purposes. However, when I tried to import my iPhoto library, approximately 2000 photos were said to be in an unsupported file format. It turns out that these are all the photos taken by my Konica Minolta 7D camera, which downloaded to iPhoto just fine as .jpe files (Minolta uses this file extension to indicate jpeg photos with embedded colour info--AdobeRGB in this instance).
    I am more than a bit taken aback that a file format that works fine in iPhoto appears to not work in Aperture.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with this? If Aperture cannot cope with my KM 7D images, than I guess the trial is over.
    Grateful for any help or advice from the community.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure about reversing the process you've described, but you can set up the equivalent structure (make albums in place of your iPhoto events) and use iTunes to synch your iPhone to Aperture instead of iPhoto. If you've decided to do your main work in Aperture this would perhaps be the best way forward.

  • Where's the toolbox and other editing features in iPhoto?

    Hello!
    When I select a photo to edit on my iPad Air in iPhoto, it only has "rotate", "enhance", "filter" and "crop" at the bottom of the screen.  I do not see the toolbox or other editing features such as the "brushes" or the "rotate compass".  How can I see the other editing features on iPhoto?  Thanks for the help!

  • IPhoto '11 so slow!!!

    iPhoto '11 is so slow that it has become useless. I've not even been able to try out any new features because iPhoto is too busy detecting faces, downloading facebook and flickr albums, spinning the beach ball, and not really sure what else it is doing, but for sure it is not letting me view my photos or do anything with them. I've had to force quit numerous times, and it's crashed a few times by itself. I really hope the programmers will concentrate on stability and performance in an update, or offer some guidelines on how many photos iPhoto can handle easily. Granted I have a large library but with the availability of 32GB SD cards, I am sure many people are going to start having to manage large libraries. Wondering if others with large libraries are having the same slowdown issues with iPhoto '11. Any known workarounds?

    iPhoto '11 is so slow that it has become useless.
    I've (and many other have) found '11 to be much faster
    've not even been able to try out any new features because iPhoto is too busy detecting faces,
    Let it finish - it is a one time thing
    downloading facebook and flickr albums,
    in the preferences set web syncing to manually so you control when it happens

    Any of these could corrupt your library - try the above suggestions and let the system get stable before going on

    I have 33018 photos, 218 videos and a 65GB library - not the biggest but pretty good sized - others here have reported much larger libraries - mine works great on a 27" iMac - I do have sharing, item counts and web syncing turned off in preferences

  • 'Places' feature acting up

    Hey all.
    In iPhoto '09, the Places feature seems to be working well enough — I've tagged most of my photos manually since I don't have a GPS-enabled camera. However, though the map view works, the column view doesn't. That's accessible by the little button next to the globe icon in the bottom left of the window. Rather than have 'Europe', 'France', 'Paris' and 'Eiffel Tower' columns, it has... nothing at all. Is this because photos only go in there if they have proper GPS co-ordinates?
    Thanks

    Is this because photos only go in there if they have proper GPS co-ordinates?
    I don't think so. I too don't have a GPS camera and have entered my own locations. My column views shows country, state, nearest city, and named_Location. However, only those locations for which I have already associated the "pin" with a photo appear. I have entered other locations for later use and these do not show up yet.

  • Crop / constrain feature in iPhoto

    I'm shooting hi res 18mp images on a Canon 550d SLR in both RAW & JPEG. I understand Canon DSR's use an image aspect ratio of 3:2 which I understand (please correct me) magnifies to say 6 x4, 12 x 8, 24 x 16 etc without loss of picture area.
    My question relates to the crop / constrain feature in iPhoto. 
    Suppose I shoot an image, edit it and then decide I want to crop the photo.
    Please can an expert help me with the workflow.  Is it:
    1. Crop the picture to desired state
    2. then select constrain feature to desired image size?
    I am a little unclear on the term constrain.  Does this means it crops the image but doesn't lose any of the original image aspect?  For example a cropeed image constrained at 6 x 4 or say 10 x 8 would then print perfectly at that aspect ration if taken to a printing kiosk.
    I want to edit the picture to best quality in iPhoto and then e-mail it to the recipient who would then print it.  I guess if I send them a 6 x 4 and they enlarge to 7 x 5 then there will be a loss of image?
    Please can anyone clarify my understanding and help define the workflow process.  Thank you.

    When you crop iPhotos provides you with predetermined Constrain or aspect ratio options.  The workflow is:
    1 - in the edit mode click on the Crop button.
    2 - select the Constrain aspect ratio in the drop down menu.
    3 - adjust the constrain window in the edit mode to fit your needs.
    4 - clik the Done button.
    If you plan on having multiple sizes of an image printed you should make multiple copies and provide a properly cropped image for each size. One way to to that is:
    1 - crop to size A.
    2 - export to a folder on the Desktop via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  with Size=Current and Quality=High or Max.
    3 - recrop to size B.
    4 - repeat step 2.
    Always check the exported files with an app like Preview to make sure they are what you want before taking in to have printed.

  • IPhoto is painfully slow

    The lag time we are experiencing when we attempt to open up and access iPhoto is unbearable. I fought tooth and nail to get an iMac into our house (my wife is a PC person) and now I look like a fool. Can anyone help explain why iPhoto is so slow?

    First off, iOS does not run on Macs.  Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us what Mac OS X version you are running.
    Secondly, double click the hard drive, and check the GB available and GB used.   That will tell us if the hard drive is near capacity. View menu -> Show Statusbar if you don't see the GB allotment in the Finder window.
    Check Spotlight isn't indexing.  The magnifying glass in the upper right corner is Spotlight.  It will tell you if it is.
    Do not install any third party maintenance tools, those can slow down Macs.
    Tell us how many photos are in your library.
    Tell us if your data is backed up.

  • IPhoto running really slow - alt cmd doesn't work, restart neither, library has about 2000 photos

    I already tried all options when starting iphoto with alt and cmd pressed - doesn't work
    I restarted my mac - doesn't work
    I clicked "repair" and "verify" disk in "disk utilities" - doesn't work
    My iphoto library has about 2000 pictures, I have a macbook air 11' and the latest version of iphoto. The problem first came up when i imported pictures directly to iphoto from my digicam - iphoto kept on shutting down unexpectedly. Alt+cmd worked then, I rebuilt the library. Since then iphoto is running slow. I cannot even scroll down or up without waiting and getting a beachball.
    Please help me - I have no idea what to do!
    Thank you very much!

    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
    Give this a go:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Tagging photos for the Places feature on iPhone

    I have the iPhone 3GS, and the places features seems to be pretty neat. For the pictues that it doesnt assign to a place (not taken with a GPS enabled camera), how do you assign them to a place?
    I have a PC and the tutorial on the website only shows how to do it on a MAC through iPhoto.

    I'm trying to do exactly this using geotagger 2 and google earth. I can seem to tag the photos ok and if I open them in Preview and look at info then it shows a gps location, however when I sync my iphone the places info seems to just be and the newly tagged pics just dont appear as pins on the map at all.
