Printing cards from iphoto 9.2.3 Macbook 10.6.8

Hello,
Since updating to iphoto 9.2.3. I have gained a lot more choice of card templates. However, no matter how I try, I can no longer print the cards successfully. I use settings for A4 paper and have tried several different ways to do this but borders on the template etc. are never printed centrally unless set in landscape format and even then titles inserted at the bottom of a card are often partially missed off. I have even tried printing from preview or Adobe to no avail. Even though it shows correctly on screen, when printed it isn't correct. Also, I do like to print cards in portrait sometimes. I have had no problems with my previous iphoto and so am disappointed and have wasted a lot of ink and paper. If anyone has had this experience I would be pleased to hear about it.
Thank you
June

Greetings,
The log suggests there is something wrong with the media browser on the computer.
Download and install the 10.6.7 combo update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
If the issue persists after installing the combo update then reinstall iPhoto:
1.) Remove the following to the trash:
/Applications/iPhoto
/Library/ApplicationSupport/iPhoto
/Library/Receipts/iPhoto -- there may be many iPhoto files here there may be none. If you find any here remove them.
2.) Reinstall iPhoto from the iLife 11 install disk, or from the App store, or from the disks that came with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3415
3.) Run all your software updates after reinstalling.
Cheers.

Problems printing Greeting Cards from iPhoto 6 and 8

I've had this problem since I tried it in iPhoto 6, and that is printing greeting cards in iPhoto doesn't work with my inkjet printer. When the first page prints, it's not centered, so when I flip the page and print page 2, they are not aligned and won't cut correctly. My Aunt is able to print cards from iPhoto but only by doing some long 20 step process of exporting them to jpgs using Preview, then printing them from some custom template in Pages. When Mr. Jobs said "Home Printing" was going to be fixed in '08, I got all excited only to see I'm having the same problems. Any one have any luck with this from inside iPhoto?

Mark:
If you have a 3rd party editor that can handle layers take a look at Tutorial #8.
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.

I can no longer print photos from iPhoto.

When I try to print photos from iPhoto, I get the error message: There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. The solution offered by iPhoto help is ridiculous as it assumes that you can get past the error message and on to the option to choose a theme. No so. The error message is the end of the road. This is a new problem for me. Apparently there was an automatic update and now I am updated to no longer being able to print my own photos. Apparently (according to traffic on Google) this is not a new issue, but I haven't seen a solution. Can't deny that I am royally ****** off.

when i try to print a photo: select>file>print a box comes up stating ' no available themes'
Iphoto not printing

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library" what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported. the file is in the iphoto library folder" also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.

Printing problems from iPhoto 6

For some odd reason I just can not print anything from iPhoto 6, it goes through the processes of printing, then brings up the Printer utility as if it's ABOUT to print, but then it fails and the Printer utility simply goes to "Jobs Stopped" without any further details as to WHY it stopped.
I can however print from all other apps, and even saving image to PDF, then print the PDF from Preview works...
What's going on?

Hello--did you ever solve this problem? I am encountering it myself and have not figured out how to solve it. Would appreciate any help.

Why do i get lines when i print photos from iphoto

does anyone know why i get lines across my photos when i print them from iphoto to my HP printer. Photos are ok when i print from iphone or other? seems to have something to do with Iphoto??

Go to your imports for the last 12 months then click on view>sort photos by date, that should group them together. Click on the first picture in the group, then hold down your shift key then click on the last picture it should select all in between, then delete and empty trash.

Reverse & Print Image from iPhoto?

How do I reverse/flip an image and print it from iPhoto?
I tried another way as well....I have been able to save to desktop from iphoto....view in Preview & flip that image using Preview Tools, but I am unable to print the reversed image from Preview.
So, the ultimately question remains...*Can you reverse an image in iPhoto and print it?*
Thanks!

Below is the thread you suggested that I follow. I was able to set Preview as the external editor, flip the image and save it to iPhoto. The image is now correct when I view it from iPhoto. However, when I try to print the edited image, which is still under the preview option, it pulls the original image from iPhoto.
How do I print the edited version of the image?
Thanks!
"The easiest way to do this is in the Tools menu in Preview. You can set Preview as an external editor, or use an image editor for the job.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway."

Hi! I am trying to print pictures from iPhoto. I follow the directions and select a photo and click file-print-but it doesn't give me any size/printing options. Instead I get a message that says "no themes available". Do I need to install themes?

Hi-I am trying to print pictures from iphoto. I selected a picture and tried file-print. But instead of giving me size/layout options, it gave me a message, "no available themes". Not sure what to do next--something I need to install?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Why can't I print a card from iPhoto?

I have always been able to print cards I design straight to my printer but today I seem to only be able to print the elements I placed in the card. The design elements are not printing.
Has this function been removed so we have to buy the card?

I made a birthday card using photos from my iPhoto files and using a template used many times before. When I pressed the print button, I found that the only things displayed in the preview and consequently when printed, are the photo and the words that I placed in the template. The actual card elements from the programme (ie the textures, pictures and colours that are usually present in the card) are strangely absent. It makes for a pretty boring printout of a photo and some disjointed words with no cohesion. I have tried another template and the same thing happened.
I have also tried to save it as a PDF and the resulting printout was the same.
I may be wrong but it looks like Apple are removing the option to print our own cards, so that we use their online printing service and make shedloads of money from what used to be a free component of the programme.

I have macbook pro w existing iPhoto library. Now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. Cannot access iPhoto library from Canon software, but prints fine from iPhoto. How can I use iPhoto library w Canon software?

I have a macbook pro w exisitng iPhoto library. I now have Canon printer and loaded Canon software for same. I cannot access iPhoto library for use from Canon software. I can print from iPhoto directly to new printer without problem. How can I use iPhoto library with Canon software? I would like to try the software to see which I prefer...

Simply export some photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and experiment.
Without telling us even what this program is, not to mind what it does, that's the best anyone can suggest.

Cannot Print book from iphoto (network issue)

I cannot get a book to print from iphoto or access itunes music store through my school network. My school has a PC network, I am the only teacher to use macs in my classroom. I can access the music store through XP on parallels so I know the network connection is good. I believe the problem is a network setting either on my macbook or in our server. Our Tech cannot identify the problem. I just updated all applications to the latest versions.

Bill:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That sound more that a networking issue that should be posted in the Tiger Getting Online & Networking forum. There will be users there that should be able to address your problem.
Do you Twango?

How can I send a snail mail card from iPhoto?

I read that the cards app has been terminated but in the cancellation announcement, apple says to try iPhoto on Mac. I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S and 3rd gen. iPad. I have looked at iPhoto but I can't find any way to send a card. Is there is a way on iPhoto, or another app that will work on any other device I own, to send a card?

I have looked at iPhoto but I can't find any way to send a card.
iPhoto on your Mac will only let you order printed cards, but you will have to mail them on your own.

Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

Brad
What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

Why when I print photos from iphoto are they grainy ? They did not used to be.

When I print from Iphoto they are grainy, they did not previously. In other programs they are fine, so it is not the printer,

What version of iPhoto? What are the pixel dimensions of the photos? what is the size of the print?
