Problems rotating photo's in iPhoto

I am trying to rotate a several pictures in iPhoto and when I do they work fine but I go back to look at them and they have all gone back to the original photo (not rotated) can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance Tracey

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.

Problem using photo's in iPhoto to upload to net

I just got this macbook. Brand new to Mac. I just put some pictures from my iphone into the iphoto library. So, theoretically they're on my mac and ready to be uploaded to the net. These are property pics and I'm putting them in a listing. I've never had an issue withthe pc. So, I go to my listing page and try to upload but for some reason when I go to my pictures file to upload, I can't get access to the iphoto library. I read a few posts in here and it appears I have to make a copy of the pictures before I can use them for anything...
can someone tell me why apple would make something so ridiculous?? why would I want to make a copy of something I just copied onto my computer so I can use it again. Why add a step to the process? I've found the same with PDF attachments in emails. I'll open the attachment and then I can't save it until I make a copy of it from the preview area...why the heck add the step?
So, I'm sure there are ways around this...at least I hope there are. Please let me know how I can simply connect my phone, or camera, to my computer, save the pics, and then upload them to where ever I want without the need to duplicate everything.
Thanks

Apple didn't make anything so ridiculous. You don't have to copy the photos to use them. With the pdfs and email, jusy drag them from the email to the desktop or where ever you want them. There is no "preview area", what you're been asked to do is save the file from the server to your machine. Same as Windows, a little different workflow that's all.
As a tip: before you decide that Apple are making things ridiculous, remember you've got a learning curve ahead of you. Just like when I sit at a Windows machine, it might help to bear in mind that if it seems overly complex or thick, then you've probably got something to learn. That works for me.
Anyway, t he first of these is what you want.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Rotated photo's from iPhoto appear unrotated in AppleTV

I just created a new iPhoto library and imported a lot of pictures. I rotated some of them in iPhoto and they appeared correctly in iPhoto. Then, I synced those library to Apple TV. Those roated photo's still appeared unroated in AppleTV. I deleted them and resynced them and it doesn't help. Now I need help, please...
FYI: I use MacBook Pro with 10.5.2, iLife 08 with the latest update. iPhoto library is in an external Firewire drive, which is always connected my Macbook Pro.

Check out this related thread, with links to an Apple response:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6657854&#6657854
I had this issue with a series of photos originally imported and rotated under iPhoto 4. But somewhere along the way, the originals must have gotten deleted, as the "Revert to Original" command was greyed out and not a viable solution for me. However, I found that AppleTV would display the photo correctly if I just made any type of edit to the photo - say red-eye, or crop, or adjust exposure/saturation, or anything. Once saved as edited in iPhoto 8, AppleTV had no problem.
Hope this helps from some of you.

Do you have problems updating photo names in iPhoto?

It is an absolute nightmare. Every other photo the edit name function just stops working. It makes updating my names a big pain in the rear end.

If you use a theme that has layouts without text boxes or themes that do not have autoload of text the text will not print even though you get a warning before ordering. Folio is the only theme that automatically puts in some text. The others just have placecard text that does not print.
You can test it by by proofing the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.
These are two pages from the Picture Book theme of a 2 photo per page layout. One has text and the other doesn't. The text you see is placecard text and will not display when printed.
This is a screenshot of the pages in the PDF file:
No text on the second page.

Problem Saving Photo Attachments to iPhoto

This may be a Mail issue but it affects the iPhoto Library. My Mother accidentally wiped out her iPhoto Library simply by saving a photo attachment to her iPhoto Library file in the Pictures folder. Now, this seemed like a logical place to which to save a picture file. What it did was overlay the iPhoto Library with the picture attachment. SHE IS DEVASTATED! There is no way I can figure out how to get her photos back. If she accidentally deleted the library file I could get it back. Any ideas?
She has a Macbook Pro and has yet to upgrade to Leopard and therefore does not have the benefit of running Time Machine.
I don't think the software should have allowed this to happen.

TJuianne,
If you're very careful (in other words, look, *but don't touch*) you can navigate to your iPhoto library in Finder. If you control-click and "Show Package Contents", you may find that the pictures are still in the library, but iPhoto has lost track of them, probably through a damaged database.

Problems syncing photos from iPhoto

I am having a big problem syncing phtos/albums from iPhoto to my iPad2.
for some reason I have an album in iphoto that only wants to sync half the photos, the ones that I actually had to edit a little, all I did was rotate the pictures, but those ar the only ones that want to sync. I've quit out of iphoto, shut off the ipad and rebooted, and still when I sync none of the other photos in the album show up. I even clicked off the " sync photos from iphoto" box and cleared all the photos and then reloaded every photo again and still only the "editted" photos show up in that one particular album, all my othr albums are showing up with no problems.
So... is this an iTunes or iPhoto issue????? I came here because i am using iTunes to sync

problem solved using this thread...

IPhoto 09 loses date on auto-rotated photos

Try that: take an old photo in portrait mode (auto-rotated from a camera, mine is a Canon) from your iPhoto library, drag it to the desktop, and drag it back to iPhoto. The new photo imported has lost its original date, its date is now the importing date.
I don't think that is acceptable.
iPhoto 8 would lose lost of EXIF information when auto-rotating photos, but the date?!

Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried with the File/Export method: the results is strictly identical.
It seems to me that the problems resides in the import of "auto-rotate" photos. As the previous version of iPhoto, iPhoto 09 create a modified version of the photo, which loses all the EXIF information, including the date/time the photo was digitized.
iPhoto still displays the photo with the correct time, probably from the library or the Original file, but when it exports it, the only date remaining is the creation date, which is the import date.
Regards,
JT

Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
thanks...

I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem. if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made.
However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
Start 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. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow. You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost.
If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
1 - open the old library and select one photo.
2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
3 - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop. That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

Problem printing photos in a lab with an exported iPhoto CD

Hi all,
I wanted to print photos from my iPhoto library. I filled a complete CD with photos (altogether 317 picutures) and brought it to a printing shop (Pharamprix in Canada) to let them do the printing. Please note I have done that with my Windows PC before and it worked fine.
What has happened is the following. When I picked up the photos I could not believe what I saw, because I received around 700 printed pictures. Half of the stack was a blury, very grain pictures and the other half of it was clear.
So my guess is that the export (as I read in another article) of photos puts also other images (is guess also the thumbnails) on the CD.
Those images were intepereted by the photo shop and where printed accordingly. When I inserted the CD in my iPhoto it shows 317 photos, if I insert the CD into a Windows PC it shows roughly 700.
Did anyonee experience the same problem? How can I export it so that I do not have the problem again.
Is Apple aware of this???
Any thoughts on that will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerd

Did you burn the CD by using the Share->Burn Disc menu option? If so then you burned an iPhoto formatted disk that included all of the thumbnails, original files of those you've edited and the edited files, all jpg files. The photofinisher's software look for jpgs and printed every thing it found.
To burn a CD of the photos you want to print, after selecting those images use the Share->Export->File Export menu option. In that window select full sized images. (It's best if you crop the images to the size you want printed beforehand so you don't leave the cropping to the automatic machine at the photofinisher.) Then export to a mounted blank CD and burn in the Finder.

Problem emailing photos from iPhoto after installing OS 10.5.1

Since installing Leopard I have had problems emailing photos from iPhoto. I can send from my laptop to another Mac without problem BUT when I try to email pix from iPhoto to a PC user or to post on my Google Group board it only sends the 'title' I gave it in iPhoto or the 'PC134567.JPG' the camera assigns it. I have tried exporting and attaching to emails but that doesnt work either .. at least not all the time. AND when I do send them from iPhoto to my office PC they arrive NOT as an attachment but are embedded in the email message .. seriously what the heck is going on and why is this not working the way it used to pre-OS 10.5.1? What changed? How can I make this work the way it used to?
Thanks for reading and hopefully solving my problem

Thank you again .. I got home and immediately tried the fix you suggested .. sent a 'test' email and it worked perfectly.

I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list. I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8. Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340. Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms. Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8). Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
thanks.

Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files. Big problem. What to do?

Simple:
File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY . Looking for solution.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 $ 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

IPhoto copies, Export problem, upload photos

HELP!!! I definitely need your expertise.
Here is the background:
- I wanted to upload photos onto Kodak Gallery through ofoto Express. Since Ofoto can upload pictures from iPhoto, so i went to organize my photos there.
- I created a new folder (let's call it "F1" ) in iPhoto and then I put new pictures into "F1" from a photo CD, then I manually re-arranged the photo order "F1".
Then here comes all the troubles:
1) Can I resize all the photos in this "F1" album all the once? If so, how do I do that?
2) When I put pictures into this "F1" , I notice the Library, film roll and 2005 also have a copy of my photos except they are all out of order, why is that?
3) Can I just keep one copy of "F1" without having so many duplicated copies elsewhere such as under the YEAR or keywords?
4) Are there good and faster way to upload all 300 full size photos?
5) From the album "F1" I created, I tried to do EXPORT all the photos too, but all the photos that was exported were out of order and not in the right orientation, what can I do and what is the function of this Export then?
6) How come the Duplicate photo function in iPhoto only put the copy right next to the original? Can I have a seperate duplicated folder? When I made duplicate, I found that the library also have the duplication and once I deleted one copy out of two, it deleted the original image in my "F1" album. I don't understand.
7) How come I cannot just make a "copy" of "F1" album to my desktop?
PLEASE HELP, I am so lost!!! Am I the only one that has this problem?
Thanks,
MC

Hi Michelle, I will try to answer some of your questions...
Then here comes all the troubles:
1) Can I resize all the photos in this "F1" album all the once? If so, how do I do that?
You resize the photo when they are exported, not while they are within iPhoto.
2) When I put pictures into this "F1" , I notice the Library, film roll and 2005 also have a copy of my photos except they are all out of order, why is that?
I don't know about the out of order part, but it could be that the album you made you manually moved the images where you wanted them. In the library, roll, and year view, the View is set globally by what you chose under the View menu
3) Can I just keep one copy of "F1" without having so many duplicated copies elsewhere such as under the YEAR or keywords?
Those aren't duplicates, they are just like an alias or a plcaehold for the real image
4) Are there good and faster way to upload all 300 full size photos?
Not really, it all depends on your connection speed. That amount of images will take a long long time
5) From the album "F1" I created, I tried to do EXPORT all the photos too, but all the photos that was exported were out of order and not in the right orientation, what can I do and what is the function of this Export then?
This has been a problem for many people including me. There have been work arounds listed here on the discussions by Old Toad. You must rename the images with numbers either within iPhoto as a batch change or when you export them, use the album name as a naming scheme and the images will be numbered. This order may or maynot be what you expected though. Like I said working with so many images is going to be very confusing. I will have to try and find Old Toad's solution for you.
Are you uploading these images to put in an online album or for prints. You know you can also manage them on the online album, rearranging order,naming,etc. These online places also limit the number of images for each album.
6) How come the Duplicate photo function in iPhoto only put the copy right next to the original?
So you can find it easily
Can I have a seperate duplicated folder?
yes, make an album and put the duplicates in that album
When I made duplicate, I found that the library also have the duplication and once I deleted one copy out of two, it deleted the original image in my "F1" album. I don't understand.
If you made the duplicate in an Album it will be reflected in the library.
If you delete an image from the library it will be deleted from the album too as the library is the place where all the images are kept. The albums only have place holders. If you want to work on a group of images and want the edits and names etc. to be different than the ones in the library, duplicate all the images in the library first. Make an album and move only the duplicates to the album. Now you can make your images B&W, sepia, edit, crop, etc. and all these edits will be reflected on the duplicates and not the originals n the library.
7) How come I cannot just make a "copy" of "F1" album to my desktop?
You can, but it will take some work to get it exported in the order you want. I will have to do some experimenting to see
