Printing with HP Photo Printer

I have an HPC6180 photo printer. Since I upgrade iPhoto '08 I can't print from the 4x6 photo tray.
How can I reinstall iPhoto without losing my photo library?

Yes. The photos, i.e. library, are totally separate from the application. Can you print to the 4x6 tray from any other application like Preview? If so then try logging into another account on your Mac and see if you can print from there to the 4x6 tray. If iPhoto won't print to the 4x6 tray there then a reinstall of iPhoto would be the next step. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Unable to print colors with my photo ink hp348 on HP C3180

    Hi,
    I've been using HP C3180 for several years now, mostly to print pictures and scan. I have always used original HP ink. Few months ago my scanner stopped working, however it was successfully repaired in the HP service. I dont know if this is related, however since that time I'm unable to print colors with my photo ink 348...
    First of all - when I put only the photo ink into the printer, I get the 'e' error message and the 'check color ink' as well as 'copy' buttons are blinking on the device.
    When I put the color ink with my photo ink into the device they stop to blink and the 'e error message' dissappears- however the colors are being printed from the color ink, not from the photo one - which makes a huge difference - but Im sure you know that.
    I used to print with this printer in the past with only the photo ink inside, and it was printing colorful pictures, and I did not get any error messages, with one ink inside..
    Please help me fix this issue
    also - I do have the option to print in color ticked - so this is not the case
    it looks like the printer does not recognize the photo ink and it treats it as a black ink.....(but I can assure that it is the photo ink)...

    Hi,
    Seems like you have issue with the photo ink cartridge. Try to call HP support for potential replacement.
    Hope it helps

  • Is there a way to make a 4x6 print preset with 3 photos on a 8X10 page?

    Other editor programs I have used had preset layouts for 3 4X6 photos on a 8X10 sheet of paper. They did this by having one row with two photos in portrait orientation and the other photo in landscape. Is there a way to build a preset for this layout?

    I do not know of any way to create such a print preset, but you can freely arrange and print your photos - all scaled differently-  using a Light Table, for example: Three portrait images and two landscape images arranged on a lighttable and the Print window:

  • Photosmart C410: How do I associate a custom paper size with the photo tray?

    Our Photosmart 3310 recently broke down and I purchased a C410 to replace it.  I sell a small item online that I ship in 3 5/8 x 6 1/2 envelopes.  With the 3310, I had figured out a way to print the envelopes from the photo tray.  While Word 2007 allows me to select the photo tray, the printer would not print from there until I created a custom paper size in the printer preferences dialog box.
    One of the reasons I got the C410 was for the photo tray.  It's a real pain to have to swap out the regular paper and stick in one evelope every time I want to print another envelope.  Well, unfortunately, that's what I've been doing.  I select the photo tray in Word, but the printer goes right ahead and prints from the main tray.  I had forgotten what I did to make it work on the 3310, so I experimented with that printer's drivers until I figured it out.
    My problem is that the software interface for the C410 is different than that for the 3310.  I can't figure out how to associate a custom paper size with the photo tray.  To test my theory this evening, I told Word that my envelope size was 5 x 7.  The printer didn't hesitate to take an envelope from the photo tray.  Of course the return address went into a dark void because the envelope is not 5 x 7.
    The difference between the two interfaces is that the 3310 has both printing shortcuts as well as "Print Task Quick Sets."  The C410 only has printing shortcuts.
    If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful!  I've probably spent hours trying to get this figured out, and I have no idea what to do.

    Hi,
    Which Microsoft product (application) are you using ? Printer supports the following custom sizes:
    From ADF: Custom-sized media (ADF) between 127 to 216 mm wide and 241 to 305 mm long (5 to 8.5 inches wide and 9.5 to 12 inches long)
    From input tray: Custom-sized media between 76.2 to 216 mm wide and 101 to 762 mm long (3 to 8.5 inches wide and 4 to 30 inches long)
    You need to select right custom size from the application.
    Regards.

  • How do i save a calender i have created with the photo and the dates saved on separate pages?

    how do i save a calender i have created in photoshop with the photo and the dates saved as two separate pages?  when i save as pdf or jpeg they are authomatically saving 1 pg with the photo and dates on one page.  This is causing problems when i print.

    Hi there, in case your printer cannot print very large, you can also crop down two versions and print them as separate documents.
    1) Create a guide where you would like to split the pages by clicking on the ruler (hit command R if they are not showing) and dragging to the desired area.
    Creating the guide will make it so you can be precise in the way you split up your page, and so that no part of the image will be repeated or lost.
    2) Select the Crop Tool and fit the crop area to the top half of your calendar, using the guide you've just made to snap to the right spot. Hit return to finalize the crop.
    3) Go to File > Save As. Name the file something like calendar_top and select the desired file format. Hit "Save."
    4) Once you get back to your calendar file, Go to the History panel and select "Drag Guide." This will take you back to the step before you cropped the image.
    5) Repeat the steps as before for the bottom half of the calendar, once again using the guide to help you make your crop area.
    So then you would just print each of the two pages individually. The images will not be contained within one document, but if you have Acrobat you could combine the files.
    I hope this helps!

  • IPhoto opens and a white screen appears with no photos

    Hi when I open iPhoto it appears on my screen but is white with no photos and then it shuts down. I was just using iphoto last night and everything worked fine. I have over several thousands of photos and do not want to lose them. I know the photos have not been deleted because I can find them on iMovie.
    How can I fix iPhoto so it works properly without shutting down?

    Hello Twehrly,
    It seems you are unable to access iPhoto due to it crashing. That would concern me as well. The following article provides some steps you may want to explore:
    OS X Yosemite: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly
    There are several suggestions to try.
    If the app is frozen, force quit the app. Click the app’s window, then choose Apple menu > Force Quit. You can also press Option-Command (⌘)-Esc, select the app, then click Force Quit.
    When you force an app to quit, you may lose unsaved changes.
    If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialog that appears.
    Restart your Mac. For more information, see Restart your Mac.
    Read the app’s documentation to check if it’s compatible with your version of OS X.
    Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.
    Check for updates to your software.
    Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of OS X.
    Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.
    If you recently updated the app or OS X, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.
    Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test. These tools can tell you if hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.
    Restart your Mac in safe mode. For more information, see Restart your Mac in safe mode.

  • I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message  saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)"   more........ .

    Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
    I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
    "Unable to to assemble  calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
    How can  I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
    Thank you for your help.   

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I've send from Lightroom 5 photos in Jpeg format to my desktop that arrive as Archive and I'm unable to do anything with the photos.  I want to put them in a folder but can't. It seems problem is in them being in 'archive'.  Any suggestions?

    I've exported photos from Lightroom 5 from my laptop to my wife's desktop.  The photos arrive as Archive and she's unable to do anything with them, such as catalog them in an IPhoto folder with other photos.  Is there an adjustment I need to make when exporting from Lightroom 5 so we can avoid this problem?

  • Problem exporting Premiere Pro CS5.5 projects with still photos and h264 video

    I'm a longtime Final Cut Pro user and evaluating Premiere Pro for my workplace before making the switch. I have been running into several problems when I try to export raw h264 video from a Canon 5D combined with still images on a Macbook Pro. Either I receive an error in Premiere Pro saying, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." or Adobe Media Encoder appears to continue exporting (the time elapsed bar continues to move) even though the time remaining stays frozen once it hits a photo it doesn't like. It's not always the same photo.
    I've spent several days trying to troubleshoot the issue, including batch resizing all photos to 1920 wide (to match the video settings), and it hasn't work. The sequence is currently set to render in ProRes 422. I've also tried HDV 1080p30 and MPEG-4. I cannot find any consistency with the errors. Occasionally an export will work, but every couple still photos will look like green static. I've also tried batch converting the photos in Photoshop to PNG and GIF without any luck. I'd include my default export settings but I've pretty much tried it all. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing the error since the message is very vague.
    Couple other notes:
    There's plenty hard drive space available for export
    I can export the DSLR video (h264, 1080p30) without still photos no problem
    I can edit the same still photos and video in Final Cut with no problem
    I have the same problem with auto-save on and off
    I tried re-installing production premium, deleting the preference files and cleaning the media cache - no luck. I also tried exporting under a different user account and it wouldn't work.
    This is driving absolutely crazy. I'm affraid to use PP on deadline because I don't see any issues until it's time to export. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    - McKenna

    Thanks Todd. Your questions were actually very helpful. I'm using a Macbook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. I'm running OS 10.6.8 and have the latest updates installed.
    When I disabled the GPU acceleration, I was able to render and export without a problem. The problem only occured when using the GPU acceleration and mixing h264 with still photos. It also affected both rendered previews and the final export. I'm assuming its a support issue with the graphics cards, but it would be great if you had any other ideas. I appreciate your help.

  • Address Book: Importing vcards with embedded photos

    Hi folks,
    This question would perhaps be more at home in the Apple Developer Connection Forums, but as I can't access those without a paid ADC account, I thought I'd try here on the off chance someone knows.
    In short, I'm writing an application that does clever things with vcards, and it would be great if it could export them to Address Book.
    That in itself is simple, but I'd also like to embed a photograph in each vcard. So, I'm successfully encoding the image into a base64 string (tested), and other applications like Entourage will happily open and see the image, but Address Book won't.
    After much Google-ing I've learned that apparently Address Book expects very specific formatting (and possibly whitespace) in and around the base64 string, which is all well and good, except no one seems to know what that formatting is!
    I've looked in the ADC Reference Library but it doesn't go into enough detail.
    So, is there anyone who happens to know how to format a base64 string for Address Book?
    EDIT: I am aware that Address Book doesn't require the string to be wrapped, and I have tried not wrapping my base64 string and if I do that then my vcards will successfully import with their photos (Entourage seems happy with unwrapped strings too).
    However, this is not an ideal solution as other vcard applications may not be so accepting, and I don't believe vcards can have multiple photo fields.
    Message was edited by: JavaScript

    Thanks, but right now I can't afford the $500 I'd have to spend in order to buy the sufficient level of ADC membership to use the developer forums. I just thought I'd ask here on the off chance, as I know there are sometimes a few developers lurking around.
    Having said that, after reading posts such as this: http://markmail.org/message/5dbslpeyhjcjxug4
    I'm beginning to think there are only a handful of people who know the answer, so I may have to give up and use a work-around.

  • Lightroom 5: All photos now "Error working with this photo"

    I went back to my lightroom catelog, where a lot of my photos are all on my NAS, and now all the photos are unable to be edited. "There was an error working with this photo."
    Everything was working for awhile, but now every single photo is erroring out.
    In the finder, i still see the photos perfectly fine. I even opened up the good 'ol Photo Mechanic 5 and opened a contact sheet, and these photos still worked. So it's not like they're corrupted or completely gone.
    I created another new lightroom catelog, and tried to import the photos again. But when I select the directory the photos are in, it's empty for about 10 minutes, then shows all the photos but with "Preview unavailable for this file."
    The big caveat are all these photos are on a networked NAS (Synology). I'm accessing it over WiFi which is probably the biggest problem.
    The folder was mounted as a NFS folder. It was disconnected once when I had a power outage (damn wind). I since re-mounted the folder and all that. I'm not entirely sure if that's what did it or if these errors started happening after that or not. But I've moved photos to my NAS folder in my catalog just today, and they are now erroring as well. So it's not like the older ones are erroring. Just all of them are.
    Mac OSX - Mavericks 10.9

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful, but there are lots of messages in the forums about Lightroom problems specifically related to Synology NAS.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with legacy photos in a DCIM file from iPhone 3.  When I try to import to my PC only the photos taken on the iPhone 4 are available/appear.  How do I get the DCIM album to download?

    I have an iPhone 4 with legacy photos from an iPhone 3 now stored as a DCIM file on the i/Phone 4.  When I try to download the photos to my PC only the photos taken with the iPhone 4 are recognized and downloaded.  I can still see all the photos on the DCIM file but my PC doesn't recognize them.  How do I download these old photos?

    I've tried both ways.  My Computer locates the device but doesn't see the old photos, only listing the new photos.
    I no longer have the iphone3; I just transferred the photos from the 3 to the 4. 
    Was there a format change or file type change or did the transfer process create something different?  I can still see and access the old photos if I go to that album on the phone.  But that's the only place where I can see them or access them.

  • I have been working on a book and have 418 photos already in my book.  All of a sudden I cannot access the book format to see the multiple view, spread view, or single view.  I can no longer see my book although I still see the collection with 418 photos

    I have been working on a book and have 418 photos already in my book.  All of a sudden I cannot access the book module and clicking on the multiple view, spread view, or single view does not take me back to the book I have been working on.  I can no longer see my book although I still see the collection with 418 photos under collections.  What I do see is a blank template for a new book and I can't find the unfinished book I started with 418 photos.  It is like the new empty template is somehow covering it up.  How do I get back to the book I have been working on?

    Is it possible you mistakenly clicked on a [Clear Layout] button?
    But a great hint is- Always click on the [Create a Saved Book] button, early in your new book design.
    Then you have a permanent link to the book in the Collections panel. (In addition to the standard collection of your selected images)
    Note: a Book Collection shows an icon that looks like a book.
    Every time you come back to edit the book, open the Book Module by clicking on the white arrow that appears on the end of your Book Collection title. (The title as saved)
    Re-opening a book without using the "Saved Book" option can have unpredictable results.
    A "Book" Collection is like a "Smart Collection" because anything you do to the book design, change pages, change images, etc,  is automatically updated in the Saved Book collection.
