Problem using iPhoto via NAS from 2 computers

I have an iPhoto library stored on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive on my home wireless LAN. My wife and I each have a MacBook that we use to open the library from the NAS. I recently added some photos to the library using my MacBook. When I open the same library from my wife's MacBook, I cannot see all of the photos. In fact, the list of Events that you see when I open the library from my MacBook is very different from what we see when we open the same library from her MacBook. When I open it I can see 497 photos, but when she opens it we can only see 70 photos.
Can anyone help with this issue? Thank you!!

would I be able to use the photos across the network?
What do you mean by “use”? Certainly wireless is perfectly good for viewing another Library via iPhoto Sharing.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and move to the other machine. There, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both machines for this to work.
If, however, you want the other two machines to have full access - i.e. Ownership - of the Library, then bluntly, I would not trust my iPhoto Library on a wireless connection.

Problems using iPhoto via Screen Sharing

To deal with our family's ever-growing photo library, I bought a new Mac Mini with a jumbo hard drive. For now, I want to run this as a headless server so that whoever wants to can work with the photo library from whichever of our other Macs is handy, so I've set it up with Screen Sharing.
So far so good, I've copied the iPhoto library there and things seem to work well except for one important detail: When I try to see/edit the detail of any photo, I just get a black screen! Or rather, the iPhoto window contains a big black rectangle where the photo should be. If I touch the zoom control, the navigation mini-view shows up correctly, but I still can't see the picture itself. Oddly enough, if I look at the detail of a video, I can see the first frame (but no more than that, the "play" button doesn't do anything).
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.7 on both machines, iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) on the server.
I realize that I can access the photo library directly from iPhoto on the "client" using iPhoto's built-in sharing mechanism, but that won't give me full control of the remote photo library.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Do you see the same if you're working directly on the Mini? Do you see anything in the middle of the black screen? Maybe something like this:
Click to view full size
If so then that's an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken.
So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
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 File ➙ 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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
NOTE: You do know that you can connect an external HD to the Mini and let the other computer log into it and access the library on the EHD for full access to the photos, right? However, doing so wirelessly is dangerous due to dropouts that can occur and if they do while the library's database file is being written to the database can be damaged. So if you're wirelessly connected between the two Macs screen sharing would be the safest way to go. If you're wired then the other method would be optimal.

Problems using iPhoto on an iBook G3

I have an iBook G3 with OSX 10.4.2. Frequently (two times!) it start erasing all the icons of my library of photographs, then, if I recharge the pictures in the library, I can see the icons again but near of it there is an "empty" icon with the same name. What happens? Maybe the G3 doesn't support the OSX or iPhoto 5? Thank you.

Valerio:
Did you rename or move any files/folder within the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder?
If the library rebuilding by iPhoto doesn't help try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library by copying the files and necessary data from the old library. This will create a new database file which may be damaged in you current library and causing the problem. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/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 File->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: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Good luck. Post back if this doesn't help and we can work out a workflow to create a new library from the original files in your current one.
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.

Problems Using iPhoto 11 9.4.2 OSX 10.8.2

1.     Why do photos emailed from iPhoto turn up in my 'inbox' instead of in my 'sent' box in mail?
2.     If you misstype your password/username when sending images from iPhoto, it will not allow you to try again.
3.     If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on Edit, nothing happens - no tools.   If you go to iPhoto in top bar and to Edit, again there is nothing you can use to edit with.
4.     Will Apple fix iPhoto so that you can save images directly to iPhoto from emails?
We will start with the above 4 problems.

1.     Why do photos emailed from iPhoto turn up in my 'inbox' instead of in my 'sent' box in mail?
because you are not using mail as your e-mail client - you are using iPhoto - if yo want mail (thich I personally recommend) set it as the email client in the iPhoto preferences
2.     If you misstype your password/username when sending images from iPhoto, it will not allow you to try again.
when using iPhoto as the email client iPhoto preferences ==> accounts
3.     If you select a photo in iPhoto and click on Edit, nothing happens - no tools.   If you go to iPhoto in top bar and to Edit, again there is nothing you can use to edit with.
if you open an event, double click a photo to enlaege it and click on edit in the menu bar at the bottom exactly what happens?
4.     Will Apple fix iPhoto so that you can save images directly to iPhoto from emails?
no one here has any idea what Apple will do and under the TOU for this forum fobid speculation on Apple policies

Problem accessing VIP via HTTP from service servers

I thought I had a pretty simple config on my CSS11501- but have run into an issue I'm having trouble resolving.
I have two unix webservers (IPs are .99 and .100) on ports e1 and e2, and my uplink for the CSS is on port e8.
The CSS has a VIP address (.105) that load balances HTTP requests to .99 and .100.
From .99 and .100 I can ping the VIP address - and from outside the CSS - almost everything works great for the site I'm hosting on .105.
I do have two web pages however that attempt to make calls directly to the VIP address - I noticed I can't load those pages.
Nor can I just browse the website on the VIP address from either of the servers. The webservers can browse their own pages via IP, and each other's pages via IP.
Just not pages on the VIP.
I think it may be a case of the servers thinking that IP spoofing is occurring - or maybe I missed something simple in the config.
Here's what I see in a 'show flows' when I try and browse the VIp address (.105) from the .100 server.
Src Address SPort Dst Address DPort NAT Dst Address Prt InPort OutPort
65.207.212.100 53758 65.207.212.105 80 65.207.212.100 TCP e2 e2
65.207.212.100 80 65.207.212.100 53758 65.207.212.100 TCP e2 e2
Since it appears that the CSS NATs the request to the same IP the server is using, will the reply from the server ever make it back to the CSS?
Or does it think that it shouldn't need to reply - becauuse it is that IP?
Should I be able to browse the VIP site from the webservers.
Below is the full CSS config if someone can help me figure this out.
Thanks in advnace for any and all help.

Paul,
simple config and well-know basic mistake :-)
If a server tries to access the vip, the css will forward the request to the same server or the other one.
Both ways, the response from the server will go directly to the client-server, bypassing the CSS.
For this to work, you need to do client nat so the server making the HTTP connection appears to be coming from the CSS.
Create a group like this
group servernat
vip addr 65.207.212.105
active
and add the following to your acl
clause 5 permit any 65.207.212.99 destination content www/rule1 sourcegroup servernet
Do a similar clause for the 2nd server.
re-apply the acl.
Everything should work now.
Gilles.
Thanks for rating.

Problems Using the iTunes store from AppleTV

Over the last month I've had large problems downloading content from the iTunes store using my AppleTV. For instance 3 weeks ago it took several attempts to rent a movie. Ever since Saturday I've been trying to purchase a season pass for Season 3 of Robot Chicken. Every time it would say "This content is being modified, please try again later." Got that again 10 minutes ago, got fed up and I went and pulled on the iTunes store on my computer and tried and it went right through, just like it should. I wanted to go this route, because if I buy it on AppleTV new episodes will be downloaded to it (I've found a way to download season pass shows I bought on AppleTV to my computer first, but not a way to do the reverse).
More importantly, I've had just numerous problems and errors purchasing content from AppleTV. As iTunes on a computer doesn't have these issues, the only thing I can figure out is that the software still isn't right.
Andy

I posted a similar problem last week about the inability to move past "See All" in Podcasts. What was happening to me was that I would click "See All" and I'd get a message saying the request could not be completed. After getting no response here, I called up an Apple Expert about the problem. When I described the problem, the Expert tried it on her Touch and ran into the same problem. She called up the iTunes folks and reported that there was a problem and they were working on getting it fixed.
A couple of days later, instead of getting the "Your response could not be completed" it went to the default Music section as you describe. They must be working on it, but don't know why it hasn't been fixed yet. The Apple Expert said to call back if the problem persists, but I haven't had the time yet.

Problem using image via URL

Hi everybody
I have a problem with loading images via URL into my PDFs.
I am using LCD ES2 Version 9.0.1....
I want to create a PDF which loads images from the internet but it does not work.
So far I have tried to add an image or image field to my PDF in the LCD and populate that image using the Object-->Field-->URL: palett. I put the URL in there like this http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif , tick the "embed image Data" checkbox (also tried with without that just to be sure) and save as Dynamic PDF (I also tried static) but when I open the PDF in adobe reader 9 or 10 or acrobat 9 there is no image showing. I also put the image in a subform and made that subform flowed, as well as the page itself and made the binding global.
I have the form properties - default set to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader version 9.0 or higher", Default Language to JavaScript, PDF Render format to Dynamic PDF.
I also tried using JavaScript events like "form:ready ImageField2.value.#image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif" as discribed here http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/lc_dynamic_images.pdf but that also does not work.
What am I missing?
Any help would be great and greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks and best regards
Norbert

As far as I can tell, this use case is not allowed because of cross site references related security concerns. The form can refer to the images stored on the same server from where the PDF is served, but the images cannot come from external servers.

Problems using printer via NetCenter drive

Hi!
I recently purchased a MacBook and a Mac Pro, and would like to use my networked printer with them, but it is not working.
I have an Epson Stylus Photo R300, and it is connected to a Western Digital NetCenter WDXE5000KS via USB, which is hooked to a NetGear GigaSwitch, which is hooked to a LinkSys wired/wirless router (has cable modem hooked to it). I know, wow...alot of fun. There are 3 XP systems on the NetGear, one Mac Pro, and then the MacBook via Airport on the LinkSys via wireless.
I used the Printers Utility, and clicked "add" to add a printer. I then clicked the "more printers" option at the bottom of the resulting screen, and chose "Windows Printing" from there. The menu/box below that then showed the networks, and I chose the WORKGROUPS choice, which the Epson is on. I clicked "choose" and bingo! the netdrive name came up, as I named it, and then when I chose it, the printer showed. I selected the printer, and then used the bottom menu on the dialogue to select my actual printer model.
I was also prompted for the network's user name and password, which I entered, and saved in the keychain. When I try to print though, I get either a "NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY" or "NTSTATUS_BAD_NETWORKNAME" error. I thought the "..network name" one might be due to a misname by the printer setup, so I checked htigs out, and sure enough, it was (sort of) misnamed. Instead of "STYLUS-PHOTO-R300", it was simply "Stylus-Photo-" I fixed that and tried again, and still get both errors.
I have restarted the netcenter drive, the printer, and the computers. I can print from any of the XP computers.
Anyone have any ideas? I am (was?) planning to buy a MBP once the Merom chips get in there, want to get rid of the rest of the XP 'puters (except one for gaming), but I will require the use of the printer, and it would not be fun to have to fire up the XP machine every time just to print stuff.
Thx in advance!
nikki
mac pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I used it because that is what the NetCenter sintructions said to do...since it did not work, I am assuming I did something wrong.
I am (mostly) new to OS X, and knowing what procedures to follow to do this any other way is something I am unfamiliar with. I tried following instructions form Apple help, and it said same thing.
If you wouldn't mind explaining how I would use the Mac Drivers, IP Printing or Cups, I would love to try it, and would report back here as to what worked, so if any other unlucky, uninformed person finds themselve sin the same boat, at least there will be something for them.
Thx!!!

Using iPhoto with two different computers AND version

I have 2 macs at my home (laptop and desktop). I have iPhoto 08 on the desktop and iPhoto 09 on my laptop. One day, I accessed my iPhoto library located on my desktop from my laptop via network sharing. I skimmed through the warning messages about the opposing iPhoto versions and was able to view my complete iPhoto library on my laptop. In the process, I now receive the "This library has been modified by a newer version of iPhoto." error on my iPhoto 08 on the desktop. How can I reverse this, so my library is 100% back to normal? It is scaring my mom who uses the desktop for photos.

That is correct - that is what the warning you skimmed through and agreed to go ahead anyway was all about
How can I reverse this, so my library is 100% back to normal?
Load a backup
It is scaring my mom who uses the desktop for photos.
Nothing to be scared of - your library is safe
but to use it you must restore a backup from before you upgraded the library
Or purchase iLife '09 and load it (with the required OS upgrade if you are not using 10.5.6 or above on that system) on the old system.
Or you can start over and create a new library from the original photos
LN
PS in the future when warned that an operation will modify something and can not be reversed it would be good to stop and fully consider what you are doing prior to proceeding

Anyone have a problem using iPhoto "change date of photo" function?

I imported some old photos today and need to sent the time on them. I selected the photos and used the "Change date of photo" function. It worked fine on the first set. I tried adjust a second set and that's where problem began. I needed to change the date from 01-01-2002 to the correct date of 05-28-2004. I photo instead set the date to somewhere in 1989. I thought I must have typed the date wrong. So I selected the photos and tried again. Nope, it wasn't me. The date on the photos was set back to some time in 1983. I tried several more time... Well, lets just say I have photos dated in the 1700's..

I had searched the forum and could not find anything. Maybe someone knows where is is.
I fixed the photos the "brute force" way.
I deleted them from the library.
Changed the date on the files on a different computer and imported them again.
However this seam like a crap way to fix a iPhoto issue.
I hope that I don't need to fix the time on any more photos..

My problem using iPhoto Having the horizontal lines going through the photo when printing of a website

My problem is using the I Photo and printing a picture with horizontal lines going through it

Your topic title and topic content are a bit confusing? Are you printing a website page? That would be thru Safari or other browser.
Or is a photo from a website? If so how was it imported into iPhoto?
Also what system and iPhoto version are your running?
Does the photo print correctly from Preview or other application?
What's the pixel dimensions of the image?
How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

Using iPhoto after transferring from a PC...

I just transfered my files from PC to mac and I was wondering is there a way to make sub folders inside events to organize photos better?
Also where is the Photos folder for iPhoto on the hard drive? I can't find it anywhere.

This is what Larry is referring to about folders, subfolder and albums:
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. 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.

Problems with IPhoto after transfer from Mobile Me

It seems that most of the necessary transfer out of of Mobile Me was accomplished, but I am still somewhat confused where my Gallery went to and now my IPhoto program keeps telling me that it is synchronizing to my service provider (Comcast), but it has been going on forever and I wonder if that is a necessary function? I chatted with the support team of ICloud, but they had no answer. Can anyone help?

Hello sean:
I am not an expert in iPhoto, but people who post here are:

To try to address the browser problem, reset Safari and see if that helps. Also, try an alternate browser (I use Firefox that way) to see if the problem is system-wide. Also, there is a Safari forum here:

Problem using CS6 via network

We are currently experiencing playback issues (sound and vision stuttering/out of sync) when using Adobe Premium Pro CS6 and .MOV files in a new project from our Network File Server (Microsoft Server 2008 R2). I am running a PC with specs which meet Adobe’s minimum requirements however I am on a domain on a 100MB Network link. I have tested using the .MOV files locally and receive no playback issues. Are there any settings which need to be changed to allow or help using files on a network? Or does Adobe not support that? Other discussions I found all seemed to refer to CS5.

Until Adobe Anywhere is released, the recommendation is to use only local storage.
