Possible to se iphoto pictures on HDTV from Mac27" late 2009? nr W8941 12G5PE

I want to see pictures from my iPhoto on my HDTV.
Is this possible with an Apple TV, from my Mac27" ?
(I don't have an Apple TV, I am going to buy one , if it works with my Mac.)
Mac Spec:
Version: Late 2009
Proses 3,06 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
OS X Yosemite v 10.10.1
iPhoto 9.6

Your Mac is not too old, what you may have misunderstood is your machine does not have the ability to use AirPlay however that was not the question you asked. You asked if you could view your iPhoto collection using the ATV, as my original post stated the answer is still yes.
If you are curious what AirPlay is, please read https://www.apple.com/airplay/ This is totally different than Home Sharing which does work on your iMac!
Finally, you can always speak directly to Apple by calling their online store and asking specific questions or you can visit an Apple Store and speak directly to an Apple employee.

Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)

Is it possible to allow iphoto to delete fotos from the finder? (when iphoto doesnt copy the fotos into an own library)

No -- iPhoto does not ever touch an photo file that is not within its database
THis is one (of the minior) resaons that it is very strongly advised not to uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - it makes importing and deleting more difficult and makes upgrading or replacing defective hardware much, much more difficult

I have just upgraded to Lightroom 5 and my pictures that were from an later version came over but read on each picture "File can not be found"

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Second display from iMac27" (late 2009) miniDisplay Port worked fine until today- now no longer connects to Apple Cinema Display

Have a configuration of an iMac27" (MAC 27"/4850-512MB PROCESSOR 2.66GHZ QUAD-CORE INTEL CORE I5 Dec 2009 model) and a second screen Apple Cinema Display 2009 model 24"
The setup with the Apple Cinema Display has been working fine for 3 years and since yesterday the second screen refuses to work.
Connected it to a MacBookPro and the Apple Cinema DIsplay functions fine sot my conclusion is it is not the Apple Cinema Display's error.
Could it be that the Mini Display Port on the iMac is somehow broken? Or is there a software fix I need to checkout?
Thanks for your help on resolving this issue.

UPDATE:
As noted in the first post, both of these newer USB DAC work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac, so it's clear that they didn't both become defective when I connected them to the Macbook Pro at the same time.
Resetting the Macbook Pro PRAM didn't help, so I removed the hard shell laptop case to get to the battery and remove it, then reset the SMC. After that I could use the original DAC at 24/96 again, but only IF it was plugged into the rear USB port. If I plugged it into the front USB port then the sound was garbled and filled with noise. This was a vast improvement over no sound at all.
Then I switched to the replacement/updated DAC, but I got no sound at all from either USB port at any bit-rate. And returning to the original DAC again now results in no sound again.
Sigh... I will reset the PRAM and SMC again, and see how far I can get with this. I'd still love some help. Thanks!

I just bought an new iMac 27 and is trying to transfer all my data from a late 2009 iMac 27

I need your help. I connected the old Mac as a disk to the new one with Firewire / Thunderbolt adapter, went through the Migration Assistant menu. The new iMac rebooted and started with setup process again, did this twice then I tried to restore from Time Machine backup, only the user account and data. It started well off but now it hangs with 4.31 hours left. What can I do ?, please help men on this.
Best regards,Oli

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane and let them sort things out for you.

Bluetooth audio from iMac (late 2009) inferior to iPhone 5S

I have just purchased a Sennheiser MM550X Bluetooth headset and am very disappointed with the audio quality through my iMac i5. I have tested the same piece of music on the iMac and my iPhone 5S and iPad. The quality from the devices is far superior to the iMac. Is there any reason why this should be so, as I understand that they all operate on Bluetooth 2.1. Sennheiser support, say that I should buy one of their Bluetooth Dongles, but I am loathe to spend any more money, without checking with the Apple Community first. Anyone have any similar issues and more importantly, a solution. There does not appear to be anything that I can adjusting System Preferences.

Thanks for you response Mike I really appreciate your time. I do not know how Genio got installed in my computer, If I just formatted my computer a week or 2 ago. I cannot find the application to deleted and It is really confusing the tutorial you sent me. I will try reading it again to understand it more, but as I said I can't find the application to delete it.
Best,

Can I take the 1066MHz RAM from my late 2009 iMac and out in my new iMac which has 1333MHz RAM?

Hi my old IMAC "blew up" and is too expensive to repair so I biught a ew one last week. I want to know if I can transfer the additional RAM to my new iMac.

The 1066MHz RAM is not compatable. Have a look at the Crucial website for compatable RAM upgrades.

I have a hdd from late 2009 that I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion. I want to upgrade the hdd to ssd. Do I need to buy a new copy of mountain lion to install on the ssd? If not, then what is the procedure to transfer?

I have a hdd from a late 2009 mbp. I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion. Now I want to upgrade to a ssd. Do I need to purchase a new copy of mountain lion to go on my new ssd? If I don't, then what is the procedure to transfer mountain lion with my 4 user accounts onto the new ssd from the hdd?
I'm confused on if I can use the recovery hd on a thumb drive to install mountain lion on my ssd. Will it be pheasible with so many OS X upgrades? And then how do I get my user accounts onto the ssd from the hdd. Do I use migration assistant? Do I need to make a time machine backup first? Should I use something called Carbon Clone or something like that?
Thanks for reading

If you have a cable that connects and external HDD to the MBP, it will do. If it is something like this, an enclosure will not be needed for the swap:
An enclosure allows you to use your old HDD for storage or backup purposes. The cable will not.
Here are instructions as to how the swap can be performed using DISK UTITY. Substitute You cable for the enclosure in same:
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.
If there is any confusion on your part, post back.
Ciao.

Best way to transfer from late 2009 iMac to new iMac

I have a new iMac, and want to transfer 750MB of data from my late 2009 iMac when I set it up. It seems like the options are:
Not Thunderbolt <-> Thunderbolt, since the late 2009 iMac has a MiniDP port, not a Thunderbolt port.
FireWire 800 <-> Thunderbolt using my Apple FW/TB adapter. Should give 800Mbps?
Direct Ethernet connection (just a cable, no router). Does this work? Should give 1000Mbps?
Ethernet through my new Time Capsule. Lets me access the internet during setup. How much speed loss compared to direct connection?
Any thoughts or suggestions about the best choice?
Thanks.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened?

This is very upsetting. ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto. What happened, and how can I get them back?

Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
Try rebuilding the library.

I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto. I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome. After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
Thanks!

If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
Good luck,
Clinton

IPhone 3 I cannot get my pictures to download from iPhoto. I keep getting the error message required file cannot be found.

I cannot get my pictures to download from my iPhoto from an albumto the iPhone 3 (one of the kids phones). I was able to download an Event. I have changed the name. I have used my iPhone 4 and the pictures from the album downloaded just fine. I have looked at the message board and I have deleted the cache and done all the things that were suggested. WHAT IS THE DEAL!! I have been working on my phone and the kids phones for about five hours now and super frustrated!!!

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

Entire iPhoto pictures missing from external hard drive.

Hello, I have already posted this problem but I'm not sure it was clear enough and not getting the response I needed. I had a Jan 2011 white laptop came with snow leopard, and I upgraded to Lion. A good few months ago, my daughter splashed a small amount of water on it, whilst it was turned on and open. I dried off the water I could see, and the mac was still working so I assumed it was ok. (At this time it had a very low battery and was not connected to a power source) Later on in the afternoon, forgetting about the incident, I did the unthinkable and plugged in the power lead. Result: nothing, the laptop would not boot up, I tried a few times, even holding down the power key for extended time but nothing. I eventually gave up and got myself a new macbook 10.9.2 then two days ago, took the old burnt out laptop to a place to get them to remove the hard drive and fit it in a case for me with a usb connection. They done this, I got home and connected the external hard drive off my old mac into my new mac, success I could see it but when I tried launching I photo from the external HD (old lap top) on my new mac. (I didn't realise there would be a software issue which is obvious now)The new mac with mavericks said it could not open iphoto. So I tried searching for the photo files manually on my external hard drive (but there was nothing) The user files were completely empty. It showed hardly any bytes (indicating I had nothing) My itunes files where gone too, and I could find no files I needed that were originally on my old (mac/ now external harddrive) The only items that were intact were the documents in the documents folder and the applications. I took the external hd back to the repair shop and they said they could not find them. They said they would charge me £100 for an attempted recovery of data which I 'm now not sure what to do, as I'm unsure what has happened. I desperately would like to get some of the data back, i;e (some files from desktop and photos) as frustratingly it was not backed up....
My questions are:
1.Would trying to open iphoto, and itunes from my external HD with earlier software in 10.9.2 Mavericks cause me to lose data (including desktop files) ?
2. Could the water damage be the issue for destroying the data? (although other data is still there)
3. Is it likely the files are still on my external hd and I just can't see them (although the low bytes seems to indicate perhaps not)
4. Is there a reliable data recovery program out there someone can recommend I can get and use that may recover the files, and do I download it on my new mac, and direct it to the external hd?
5. Would apeture locate the missing iphoto picture files from the external HD and integrate it into the library on my mavericks?
6. Could the problem be caused by leaving the HD in my old(water damaged) laptop for so long before I tried rescuing it?
Any light on situation much appreciated. Apologies if this issue already been aswered, I did scour but did not see help I needed.
Thanks in advance

Hi T,
Thanks again for reply. Just checked my mac for the first time without the external HD attached. I had a hard time trying to get back into this site on my new mac. Now I keep getting a pop up that says (https:// discussions.apple.com bad gateway) with ok button every every 30 secs or or something after that I can't type except if I click ok. Prior to that I had some message telling me something about proxy server gateway no access or something. Not happenign on other sites so perhaps just a random error, (hope I have now not picked up a bug or another insidious thing from some site whilst trying to resolve my old HD probs....)
Extremely annoying!!
Well I checked as you asked. This is the process.(if you can tell me how to take a screen shot I will do it, but at moment I don't know how to do that exactly)
At the moment I have got my HD showing on my desk top Top RH corner, like they used to in the good old days before it all changed. I do this, because everything is conveniently placed in one place. Call me old fashioned I guess..
(Not to change the thread but this pop up thing is driving me mad...)
If I doubleclick on that by default it opens with five folders in it, I;E applications, library, system, user information, users.
When I click on Users.
It is here I find the user file with a user name that I have NEVER entered into this new mac, (especially with old MAC HD attached as I did not want any confusion) I even re-named my old HD (OLD mac HD)
This new user file even has the icon of a HOUSE instead of a folder, which is something off older OS as far as I know, I never saw it in mavericks before attaching this encased contraption which is just a metal box as far as I see that holds my old HD, but annoyingly done by someone that may not have known what they were doing..
Why the heck is it there? It should not be there!
When I click on this old (home folder) as that is what it used to be, and that was the name of my OLD HD before it got the name (old mac HD) which now I think of it, was not changed by me by default... which is a thought.. I only added the word OLD to it..
Well it has all my default folders such as desk top, docs, movies, pictures ect.. When I click on pictures I have my new iphoto library and another folder called root which has the salvaged files I saved there from the recovery software Stellar Pheonix which I downloaded a couple of days ago but can't actually open with preview anyway. I tried to do it with an old version of CS 5 photoshop to see if that would work, but I could not get photoshop to open in mavericks even after java update)
The interesting thing is is: if I go to system preferences in my dock I click on users it only has the user folders I specified that should be there on my new mac.
now peeved. and this annoying pop up.....Situ does not seem to be getting any better!
Instructions please how to post screenshot..
PS sorry about LONG POST

How to restore iPhoto pictures from time machine

Knowing this: " When using iPhoto ’11 (version 9.2 or later) and Time Machine with OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later), iPhoto no longer has the Browse Backups option. This means that instead of restoring specific photos within your iPhoto Library, you must restore your entire iPhoto Library."
I need to restore from the July 2012 backup iPhoto library a few photos, no more than 50, I guess I need some guidance on how to prevent my current iPhoto library to be overwritten with the contents of an old library, thus erasing all of the pictures I have taken since, that's 2 years ago.
Should I create a *new* iPhoto library, and restore it with the contents from the time machine? I suppose that once the *new* has been restored then I can pick up the pictures and export these to my current library.
I need to be cautious as to how I can do this, I do not want to loose the thousands of pictures I have in my current library and would appreciate if what I intend to do will bring the results I want to have.
Thanks

When you restore the library, use the "Restore to" function and not the "Restore". This will let you select a different folder, or if you do not have enough disk space, restore to a different disk. Then open the restored library by double clicking it and export the photos you need to restore.
Double click your current library to switch back to your current library and import the restored photos.

How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.
Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there. If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
