PSE 10 and iphoto on a mac
I have 2 partitions on my hard drive, one for snow leopard and one for lion. PSE
10 is loaded on the lion partition. When I went to 'get photos and videos' in
PSE organizer I clicked 'from iphoto' and somehow got it connected up with the
snow leopard iphoto library not the lion iphoto library. I need to redirect PSE
to the right lion iphoto folder but I can't find anyway to change the default
iphoto library it is connecting with. Anybody know how to fix? Thanks.
Oh while I am asking...Is there any way to make the text under the photos in the
organizer bigger for easier reading? I didn't see anything in the PSE
preferences that would make just the words bigger not the pictures. Thanks
again.
My workflow is I use iphoto to import from my camera since it is ancient and is the only way I have been able to get photos off of it, I organize it into events. Then important them to photoshop elements from iphoto. I just got a nice new used mac and partitioned it to run both os, installed pse10 on the lion partition and then when I went to import from the iphoto library it offered me a choice but I'm just getting used to this glass trackpad and I think I accidently clicked the snow leopard library(as it makes a click without any action on my part when I just indecisively hover over a drop down of choices)...now it just grabs from that library and doesn't give me a choice.
No interesting screen shot to take as it isn't doing anything but importing the library, just the little normal proress bar just importing from the wrong folder.
No one knows how to make PSE give me the choice box back?...its not in the preferences...shouldn't it be in the preferences?

I deleted Garageband and iPhoto from my Mac and now i can't reinstall them. Is there anyway i can get them back?
Were these apps purchased from the Mac App Store? If so, open the Mac App Store (should be in the Doc).
Then go to the Purchases tab and install from there. You may need to click the Buy button, but once you do, it should remember that you have already paid.
If these apps were installed from a retail copy of iLife, you can reinstall from the DVD. -
I have a MAC and use IPHOTO and had used Adobe Elements 9 as the external Editor and IPHOTO as default. NOW I upgraded to Adobe elements 12 and IPHOTO only recognoizes Adobe Elements 9??? HOW do I make it go to the new external editor?? I appreciate any help you can provide?
You need to reset the external image editor in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to the right version. I assume there's an Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 folder in your Applications folder. This screenshot is for PSE 10 but would be the same for 12:

2 macs running ML and iphoto 11 - one mac cannot access photos
We have 2 macs (I also have an iphone). They are both running ML and I bought Iphoto 11 for both of us. I can log on to my computer and get into icloud and see all of my pictures. My computer has no issues and works well....I have enabled both checkmarks for sharing in photostream. I log on with MY apple ID and password and see all additions to my pictures taken with the iphone.
When I try to get my husband's machine to work, I log onto HIS account and I can see typical Icloud stuff...so he can access Icloud. My problem is that I have enabled Photo Stream on his computer; have checked the boxes for share with others and share. I have enabled everything I can. I have gone to System Preferances in Cloud to make sure all settings are correct.
Every time I want to enable photostream/iphoto to cloud - I get an message saying he has to log into his Cloud account - but he IS logged in. I can see it. Also it says that Iphoto cannot get into his Cloud account - check System Preferances. but everything there is OK.
It does say I can 'reset' Icloud but then it says "are you sure? you'll lose everything"....so I haven't pushed that last button. Do I just reset? It should pick up all of his information again right? The problem is I have to airdrop any pictures to him and he does it for me - and we shouldn't have to do that with cloud. We both have our own apple id accounts - which I verified.
Also, I don't want to share ALL of our information - just the pictures and I want him to be able to get MY Iphone pictures and well as my getting his. (He doesn't have an iphone yet but he'll be getting one soon.) Right now he depends on MY Iphone pictures - goes to my icloud which I have shared with him. He should be getting these with no problem - except his account seems to be corrupted.
Seems there is a glitch with his icloud iphoto connection. What is procedure to fix this?To share pictures, you can always set up a "Shard Photo Stream" by using the tips below:
Set up on Mac:
1) Open iPhoto
2) On the left toolbar, select "Photos"
3) Select all the photos you want to share
4) Select "Share" at the bottom left of the window
5) Click Photo Stream
6) Here you can add them to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one
For a new one, just finish following the on screen instructions
Set up on iOS device (requires 6.0 or later):
1) Go to the Photos app
2) Select "Photos" from the toolbar at the top
3) Click "Edit" at the top right
4) Select the photos you wish to share
5) Click "Share"
6) Click "Photo Stream"
7) Here you can add the selected photos to an existing Photo Stream or create a new one.
For a new one, follow the rest of the on screen instructions
For the log in problem:
Make sure all software is up to date on his Mac by going to Apple logo>Software Update. If you are running 10.7 (Lion) or earlier, it will open a separate window to check for software. If you are running 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later it will open the Mac App Store to check for updates.
Once it is all updated, if you have the same problems, make sure all of his info is in iCloud by going to iCloud.com and confirming it is there. If it is, go to System Preferences>iCloud and log out. When it asks you if you would like to keep the data on your Mac select no. It will bring up about 5 dialogs wanting to know the same thing for different applications. Once he is all logged out, restart the computer.
When it turns back on, go to System Preferences>iCloud and turn it back on. This should fix the problem. -

Could I just bring my mac air to a retail store in NYC? May I get my device fixed there?
That's possible. Be sure to click on Apple menu -> About This Mac to find your Mac OS version. The Air does not run iOS, and it certainly does not run Mac OS X 10.3.

Do I have to use iPhoto on my Mac if I use iPhoto on my iPad
I use Aperture 3 on my Mac. I want to have iPhoto on my iPad now that it's available, but if I'm not using iPhoto on my Mac, will my photo sync between iPhoto and Aperture?
You can import photos from your iPad to Aperture, same as any photos on your iPad. There's no special link between iPhoto for iOS and iPhoto on the Mac.
The iPhoto for iOS forum is here

Having corrected my corrupt catalog (PSE 11) I now have thousands of duplicate images. Is there any way of of removing the extra copies? I've had suggestions that apply to Windows, and iPhoto but can't find any advice for Photoshop Elements on Mac Maverick
You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Moving albums from PSE 9 on PC to iPhoto '11 on Mac
Hi,
I'd like to move all my photos and my albums that I've setup in PSE 9 on my PC to iPhoto '11 on my iMac. I have been able to move just the photo files and import them into iPhoto, however, I lose all the albums if I just to an import.
I tried following the process outlined at the bottom of this post (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080702225914AAmKVhU), but it didn't work the way I thought as it transferred only the photos and it didn't maintain the albums.
Has anyone figured out a way to move all photos along with their respective PSE 9 albums to iPhoto '11?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!Well, no, this isn't going to work (at least it doesn't for 99% of the people who think it's what they'll do). For one thing, it's not how to use iphoto: you run a serious risk of inadvertently writing something to the iphoto library from outside iphoto and that will corrupt the library. Eventually you are going to have to choose between organizer and iphoto as your main photo management tool. Your current procedure will drive you crazy eventually.
If you want to organize photos in iphoto and edit them in PSE, there are two ways to do it:
1. Set PSE as your external organizer, use iphoto to browse your photos and send them from iphoto to the PSE editor. Save, not save as, without changing the name or format and iphoto will remember one version plus original (what you mean by 'stacks' is not stacks but version sets, I realize after seeing your post in the apple forum).
2. Export photos from iphoto to the desktop, edit in PSE and then save the new photo under a new name and import it as a new image to iphoto.
But your current procedure is just going to cause untold confusion down the road, even if you don't manage to damage your iphoto library.
If you find the mac organizer satisfactory (it's very much a 1.0 effort at this point) then use that instead of iphoto, but using both almost always leads to confusion later on. -

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.
So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

New to mac and iphoto, questions about photo structure & organization
I bought a new Macbook Pro a couple of days ago and am still figuring things out. I wasn't displeased with windows...I just decided to try a mac anyway, So far, I adore it except for one thing, the pictures.
I spent hours researching whether to download and use picasa 3 for mac or iphoto. I decided on picasa....and now I've changed my mind. (Mostly because I tried to take pictures of the moon tonight, and they looked great in camera, but Picasa could only pick up a black screen whearas iphoto actually saw and defined the moon- and with the editing software on the two, the picasa auto-edit looked like a picture that was created in microsoft paint, and iphoto came out with a beautifully contrasted photo).
Now that I decided to use iphoto, I have been researching how to switch and still seem to have a lot of questions. (I've poked around numerous forums but have found conflicting answers on different sites).
1) I organize my pictures by folders with the month and year. I know iphoto organizes events, which it seems to determine based on photo similarity. Will my photo structure still appear in finder -> pictures?
2) Is it possible to stop iphoto from organizing my pictures and just trust me on what I want?
3) All of my friends and family use PCs, and there is a chance that due to financial concerns, when I eventually replace my macbook pro (far in the future) I could switch to a pc. Does iphoto make transferring pictures more difficult? (If I understand correctly, it does not change the photo file, a jpeg is still a jpeg but I want to be sure)
4) I do not want iphoto to duplicate all of the pictures already in my library....if I import from finder-users-pictures, will it simply use those, or duplicate all 150gb worth of pictures?
5) Any other tips for someone completely new to macs and iphoto?
6) This is very silly, but how do I uninstall picasa (I know how to uninstall on a windows but want to make sure I do things correctly on my mac!)
Also, just a "bonus"- regarding events vs. files I create, will iphoto create events within the program but leave my file structure in the library it imports from alone? If I use finder to go to where I store my photos, will I still see my file structure regardless of what iphoto does?(Does that make sense? I'm having a hard time trying to describe it)
I apologize if this question is foolish or misplaced- I did read many other posts but didn't see the answers I was looking for.Your questions are neither foolish nor misplaced.
The first thing I strongly suggest is that you make a trial iPhoto Library. Import 100 or 200 pics and explore. Iphoto isn't right for everybody, and if you're going to use it you will need to rethink things a little.
1) I organize my pictures by folders with the month and year. I know iphoto organizes events, which it seems to determine based on photo similarity. Will my photo structure still appear in finder -> pictures?
A: Events are based entirely on Date and Time not on 'photo similarity' You can set the interval for what makes an Event in the iPhoto Preferences: iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> General Pane: Autosplit into Events... And select from the drop down menu.
Will my photo structure still appear in finder -> pictures?
Yes or no, depending... iPhoto can run as a Referenced or Managed Library. In the former case, yes you files will be visible in the Finder, in the latter case they won't.
Note that Referenced or Managed refers +only to file storage+ It offers no extra functionality, it does nothing at all. App like iPhoto are your go-to app for your photos. If you use it, then you never access the photos via the Finder. Ever. It's always via iPhoto or the many, many hooks into the OS that it has.
I'll detail more on Referenced v Managed below.
2) Is it possible to stop iphoto from organizing my pictures and just trust me on what I want?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Iphoto does basic date and time organisation by default. You can change it, you can change the location of the photos in Events, merge them and then using the other tools available - Albums, Smart Albums, Faces, Places etc you can organise your photos whatever way you want.
But what do you mean by pictures. There is a distinction between Photos - the image of your child holding his dog - and files: A Jpeg is just a file. Iphoto is designed for you to +forget about the jpeg+ and get on with the interesting bit: the pics of your younger and his pet.
3) All of my friends and family use PCs, and there is a chance that due to financial concerns, when I eventually replace my macbook pro (far in the future) I could switch to a pc. Does iphoto make transferring pictures more difficult? (If I understand correctly, it does not change the photo file, a jpeg is still a jpeg but I want to be sure)
A Jpeg is a Jpeg is a Jpeg. If you migrate to another app or an entire OS you can export the photos plus any and all metadata you've added to the Finder and move it on. (Caveat: You cannot export Faces. There is no agreed standard on any system for exchanging this info.)
4) I do not want iphoto to duplicate all of the pictures already in my library....if I import from finder-users-pictures, will it simply use those, or duplicate all 150gb worth of pictures?
It can do either. And this brings me back to the Referenced v Managed discussion above. By default, iPhoto will Manage the files, that is, it will copy them into the Library. You can choose not to, but I strongly recommend that you don't:
*How to do it:*
Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
*What Happens:*
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
*Some things to consider:*
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures. You have to to put the files where they will be stored before importing them. When you delete them you'll need to remove the files from the HD yourself.
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
4. Because iPhoto has no tools for managing Referenced Files, if, for some reason, the path to the photos changes then you could find yourself resolving aliases for +each photo in the Library+ one by one.
My own opinion:
I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
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.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
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 later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *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.
3. *Show File*: 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.
*If you want to edit the photo in another application:*
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.
5) Any other tips for someone completely new to macs and iphoto?
*To Push Home a point*
For someone inexperienced with Macs and inexperienced with iPhoto I cannot stress enough that Managed Library is the way to go. I understand there is comfort in seeing all those folders. But inside the Library that's all there is: all those folders, stored so that an inexperienced user can't grub things up!
The iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. Want to see inside?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Now close that window and forget about it.
So, once you've imported your photos to iPhoto in a Managed Library, the surplus duplicates are +your folders+. Of course, in time, trash them to get back the wasted disk space. But don't do it today or tomorrow. There's no hurry. When you feel confident that you understand how iPhoto is working and that's it's working for you, theat's the time to reclaim the space.
I organize my pictures by folders with the month and year.
If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.
6) This is very silly, but how do I uninstall picasa (I know how to uninstall on a windows but want to make sure I do things correctly on my mac!)
Drag the app to the trash and empty it.

I have prepared an 82 page book on iPhoto, ready to buy. There is a message over about half the photos saying "drag photo to place in background" as if it doesn't see the photo already there. I have spent over 20 hours getting to this point and can't bear to start over! Its a Mac 08X 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 7.1.5. I have made other iBooks on this software and computer with no problems.
