QuickUpload to Snapfish after iPhoto 08/Leopard upgrade

My wife and I have been using Snapfish for years both on Windows and Macs. The Quickupload tool has always worked flawlessly through Safari. 2 weeks ago, I upgraded our MacBook Pro to Leopard and iPhoto '08. Now all the pics "fail" when uploaded through QuickUpload. However, they do upload using the one-by-one method (which is not practical). This is a pretty big deal for us since we probably upload 50-100 family pics a week for family back east.
Any ideas? Can I reload the QuickUpload plugin? Any advice is much appreciated!!

The Snapfish plugin is called "Photo Center Plugin.plugin" and it's in the main Library->Internet Plugins folder (not the user Library). I am not using iPhoto 8 yet - but the plugin works fine with iPhoto 6 under Leopard. I'm not sure why it would matter which version of iPhoto one was using though - this is a plugin for browsers, not iPhoto.
Note - it took a couple of tries to install the plugin on my G5 running 10.4.11 - not sure why. I had to download the thing several times and retry before it finally worked. On my MBP running Leopard, it was fine.
BTW - if you want to look to see if Safari sees the plugin, with Safari open, go to the Help menu and click on the Installed Plugins option. You'll get a nice long list.
Hope this helps. (Please let us know if it does!)

  • Update Flash after doing Snow Leopard upgrade

    Just as an FYI: I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6 this morning. Before the upgrade I had the latest version of Flash (10,0,32,18). After the upgrade I had an earlier one--I don't remember which one exactly, but it was something like 10,0,23,? or so. You can check your Flash version here:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Anyway, be sure to update Flash after you do the Snow Leopard upgrade.

    Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing. You probably also had something wrong with your machine that was interfering with the installation in the first place, as the Snow Leopard installer is ordinarily pretty good at failing without damaging anything if something causes it to fail.
    I would advise [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. If that fails, you'll need to erase and repartition the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. If repair works, but you still can't boot, you probably have corruption in important system files. You could try installing Snow Leopard over it at this point, while booted from the Snow Leopard disk. If repair shows no problems, post back here, as you've got something a little more exotic than simple hard disk damage going on.
    Do you have a backup? If not, it's possible all your data might be gone at this point, depending on what exactly has gone wrong with your computer. You can try to back up from Disk Utility running from the Mac OS X install disk... see the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to which to copy.

  • Spotlight problem after Tiger to Leopard Upgrade

    Since I upgraded my Macbook Pro 15" from Tiger to Leopard, Spotlight never worked. Initially I didn't mind too much but now I want to get it work.
    I tried all suggestions I found in this forum (see list below) to no avail.
    It seems Mac OS cannot index the system disk.
    Any Terminal command like mdutil or mdimport have no effect and return no info. As a check, I ran the same utilities on my iMac (same Leopard version, but native) and they do in fact work as expected, as well as Spotlight. Another example: mdfind works on my iMac but return nothing on my MBP.
    If I try the regular way, when I write my search string in the Spotlight window I just get nothing on my MBP.
    I tried the OnyX features for Spotlight:
    - Maintenance/Rebuild/Spotlight Index seems to do something, but in fact it does nothing useful
    - Parameters/Spotlight/Options: Enable Indexing the Startup-Disk makes an attempt to enable it and switches immediately back to disabled. No way to keep the option checked. Also removed the Font cache from OnyX as suggested in some post - null.
    Some attempts I made:
    - used Disk Utility to check the disk (no repair needed)
    - used Disk Utility to repair permissions: there are many that are always repaired... this makes me feel the problem might in fact be in the permission area. But after many repair the result is always null.
    - added the start-up disk to the Privacy area in Spotlight Prefs, and later on removed - null
    - trashed com.apple.spotlight.plist pref user prefs - a new one was created but no effect
    - removed /.Spotlight-V100 from terminal - a new one was created but no effect
    - used mdutil -E and -i on and off - I always get the message "/: Indexing and searching disabled"
    - mdimport -L or -A or -X return nothing (on my iMac they return the list of plugins, schema etc.)
    - rebooted many times also in safe mode - null
    - the problem exists also for the other user on the same MBP
    - tried OnyX as described above.
    No effect!!
    Now my question is: what can I try next ?
    I'm sure there is some parameter somewhere (some .plist ?) that can re-enable Spotlight. But which one and where ?
    Thanks in advance
    Piero

    Take a look at Spotless
    http://www.fixamac.net/software/spot2/index.php
    It deals mainly with Spotlight indexes, but it also contains some diagnostics - its description includes the following:
    Spotless will automatically find and delete the "mds-crash-state" file from selected volumes. The file may be created if the Metadata Server crashed or was unexpectedly closed during the indexing process. The presence of this file can prevent Spotlight from indexing the volume in the future.
    Spotless allows you to see exact size of the index directory on each volume.
    Spotless also includes an on/off switch for Spotlight.

  • "Aperture Library Needs to be Upgraded" after iPhoto 9.3 upgrade

    This issue began when iPhoto crashed during a low battery scenario while using latest version of iPhoto before 9.3 upgrade. I could not open iPhoto unless I bought and installed Aperture. I have never owned or installed Aperture.
    I am running lion OS
    iPhoto became corrupted when battery on mac book pro was nearing 20%
    in the middle of the corruption problem, I upgraded to iPhoto 9.3 using Software Update on 6/18/2012 (hoping it would reinstall the needed files)
    then iPhoto library wouldn't open because it was expecting . (probably because aperture and iPhoto can now view each others' libraries).
    For a while after the initial crash, starting iPhoto would crash entire machine
    I reset permissions
    ran a tool called Yasu clears a bunch of cashes
    started in *safe mode*
    tried to rebuild iPhoto library with option/command keys - it never allowed that step
    spoke to Tier 2 Apple application support on the phone
    he helped me create a new iPhoto library by opening iPhoto using *option* key
    imported all 20k photos but lost all albums and descriptions because the mappings to the original files are stored in a single file that does not get updated when you re-import photos. hence, there was no way to update the new album locations
    he also told me I could not use my Time Machine backup because that iPhoto library was a different version than current, 9.3 iPhoto library (thankfully, he was guessing wrong)
    he warned that even if I installed Aperture it might not solve my problem
    visited Genius Bar at Fashion Valley storehe told me there was starting to be some chatter on the discussion boards about similar problems but I should probably wait for an apple update to the problem that must surely be coming soon
    The Fix:
    I restored iPhoto from last good time machine iPhoto backup
    It was dated: sunday June 10, 2012
    The Good:
    Many photos and folders in iPhoto restored!
    Many iPhoto albums recovered!
    except...
    The Bad:
    Time Machine only restored from last *full* time machine backup
    *full* those are backups that occur in time machine when the iPhoto app is *closed*
    restored items only include items before February 2012 when presumably iPhoto was closed during the backup
    imported photos and albums look good, except the last import was 2/2012

    UPDATE
    i restored a later version of my iphoto (6/18) that included ALL of my photos. that backup was manually made using time machine - AFTER the problems began, so i knew it was risky. however, i wanted to use it because it contained ALL of my photos and albums.
    this did not work well.
    all of the photo *events* imported (with some small problems).
    NONE of *albums* imported.
    the thumbnails were all grayed out or black.
    i was able to access the "photo library first aid" screen by holding down *option/command* keys to start the first aid process. before i restored from time machine, i was not able to get my corrupt library to get to this step, so this was a pretty big success.
    using the available options brought back the thumbnails, but not albums.
    using the last ditch "rebuild database" option began to update facebook albums that i had posted using iphoto!
    what a pain and embarassment.
    i went back to the 6/10 TM backup
    this was because one of the upsides to this whole ordeal was that all of my photos were intact in Finder. some photos before 6/10 were in Finder but not in iphoto and none after 6/10 were displaying in iphoto, but i had a base to work with.
    the folders in finder resided in the iphoto library area and in the iphoto file structure (Masters/Year/Month/Day/Event).
    after the initial restore a few days ago, i used iphoto's "import" feature to pull in those photos and it placed them into an event folder for the DAY i imported them... not picking up the day they were originally taken or where they resided in the iphoto file structure (i was bummed).
    after restoring the 6/10 backup, the state was as it was in my initial post.
    i used "Repair Database" (again holding down *option/command*) from the Photo Library First Aid screen and iphoto pulled in all the photos - by their correct date - from the file structure in finder. i was able to restore all of the photos and all the albums related to those photos!
    woo hoo!
    i had to also use the "Repair Thumbnails" to get the thumbnails from those recently imported photos to appear corrrectly in iphoto (small price to pay).
    there may be some albums missing, but this is far and away better than what was originally restored.
    my next step is to restore photos from TM that were created "after" 6/10. they reside in the file structure and my guess is that i will be able to "repair database" to get them added to iphoto.

  • Iphoto and Leopard upgrade?

    I just had Leopard installed. I backed up my hard drive and photo library but can't find iPhoto anymore.
    Is iPhoto hiding somewhere on my system, or do I need to by iLife 08?

    iPhoto is not part of the OS - it's part of iLife.
    If it came supplied with your Mac - you will be able to re-install it with the original restore disks. Insert disk one and there should be an option to install bundled software.
    Of course, you can just upgrade to the latest version...

  • NOthing shows up after iPhoto asked to upgrade thumbnails

    iPhoto 6.0.5 asked to upgrade my thumbnails. I told it to go ahead and now NOTHING shows up in my library. All my photos, books, cards, calendars and slideshows are gone. I must have them back. Please help. All of my files are still in my photo library directory. when I try to open each individual file it tells me my files is corrupt. How can I rebuild my library?
    Jaime

    TD,
    regarding:
    Have the affected photos ever been stored or moved via a disk or flash drive that is formatted for Windows?
    No. The photos were the original .tif files I scanned before adding to iPhoto.
    It is all very weird. I had mutliple things going on:
    - syncing iPod with iPhoto for first time (new 5.5G 30GB iPod)
    - iPhoto "upgrading" my thumbnails
    - podcast streaming in the background (twit)
    I am back to normal after restoring from backup. I still have all of the folders and files from my corrupted iPhoto library and I can view the originals in Preview.
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I am not sure if I should mark this thread answered since I still don't know why my iPhoto library was corrupted.

  • Movies iPhoto - Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hello. I have just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac & I use iPhoto '08. I have tried playing videos that I captured using my iPhone but they aren't playing. Does anyone know why? I have had a search on here and someone said to go back into the snow leopard install folder and install the QuickTime 7 which I have done but after I restarted my machine the videos still don't play.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to play the videos with either of the Quicktime Players? Are you able to play any movie files other than your iPhone? If the problem is limited to iPhone video files only then I would suggest you also pose your questions in the iPhone forum and/or the Quicktime forum. iPhoto 08 only passes off the video files to Quicktime for playing. So it's more a QT issue.

    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 versions) 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.
    NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
    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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 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: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Account issues after 10.5 Leopard upgrade

    Greetings,
    I have a PwrMac-G5 with Pwr PC processors. It's been running OSX 10.4 since day one (2005). This weekend I upgraded to OSX 10.5.4 Leopard.
    The upgrade went fine but I wasn't able to log in with my user account and password. (My password is 9 characters)
    I went the route of rebooting on the install CD and doing a Reset System Admin password. Now I can log in as Root, and I see the other user accounts, but I don't see any options that let me change the passwords for the user accounts.
    Any thoughts on my next step?
    Thanks,
    Ray

    OK. I lost track of what's going on. Since you can't get to the other accounts via the login window, there are only two options I can suggest (there may be a way to do the change via the CLI tools, but I'm not conversant enough to point to a solution). One is to boot again with the install disc and see if you can reset the other account's passwords. i've never had to do that, so I don't know if you can choose them or not. The second is to delete the accounts, saving their data, recreate them using the same username password combos, logging into each one, mounting the saved data disk images, and copying the saved data back to the newly created accounts.

  • Mac keep shutting down after cancelling Snow Leopard upgrade DVD

    Hello,
    I tried to upgrade my computer with the Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD. The upgrade failed twice, so I decided to quit it and to restart my computer with hardware, but then, it doesn't run more than 35 sec and then shuts down automatically. I have tried 5 times to restart it, but it shuts down even before I can see my desktop. Ho yes, and I ejected the DVD from it.
    ...help please! : )
    Thank you!

    Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing.

  • My Mighty Mouse does not turn on after reboot after my Snow Leopard upgrade

    I am having issues with my wireless mighty mouse, it does not turn on automatically like it used to and now I have to turn it on and off for my Mac to see the mouse again. It will them connect any help?

    Hello dw:
    For future reference, there is a Bluetooth forum here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=145
    Also, go to system preferences>bluetooth. Highlight your mouse. Click on advanced. Click on the little gear at the bottom>show more info. Then click on the gear again and make your mouse a favorite.
    If that does not help, try trashing a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.

  • PS3 and Safari crashes after Snow Leopard upgrade

    How is everyone enjoying the crashes after their Snow Leopard upgrade? I can't save a photo using PS3, or download a photo to flickr or facebook without a crash. PS3 crashes, Safari crashes and work flow is at a crawl? Spoke with tech yesterday and they told me that this would stop if I downloaded Snow Leopard again, which I did, but the problem wasn't resolved. To top it off, I lost permissions on the iMac and can't use the computer. Please tell me where all of the accolades came from? Were the reviews done by people who actually work on their computers or by people who play on them? Oh, and another thing, lost my wireless access to the router and had to start all over. Be careful here, this has not been fun!

    Excuse me, I meant to write CS3 instead of PS3.

  • Finder search "aliases" missing after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I'm dealing with a crazy annoyance after upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard - currently running 10.6.2
    I have 2 duplicate, external, 1TB WestDig Drives. I have no problems accessing these drives from the Finder, but if I use Finder search or Smart Folders, the corresponding folders on the external drives never open on the first try. I always receive the message:
    +The alias “…” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.+
    On the second try, search result folders open fine and I don't seem to have any further problems with a folder once it has been opened successfully from within search.
    It seems that after my Snow Leopard upgrade every search on the external drive reveals "missing" folder aliases although the "aliases" appear as regular folder icons.
    I tried re-indexing Spotlight but this did not solve the problem. I also trashed my plist files for Finder and Spotlight which didn't help either.
    External Drive volume info from Terminal:
    +drwxrwxr-x 21 782 Mar 14 17:18 PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE+
    FWIW I've found others having similar problems on the Apple forums HERE and HERE. I've tried their suggested PathFinder workaround without success.
    This is driving me bonkers because it renders Smart Folders somewhat useless. Additionally, these external drives work fine on my old installation of 10.5 Leopard
    Thanks for any help!

    HI,
    Try repairing disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Snow Leopard - Bento 2.0v5 - Lost record data on Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Any thoughts on this one: After an update to Snow Leopard 10.6 and 10.6.1, the data entered in Bento fields associated with contact names in Address Book are no longer available (only 10 of 300 or more records are still available) In addition, the categories associated with names in Address Book have no records in the associated categories in Bento. Further, this problem exists for all of my backup copies of Bento. (i.e. it appears the only way to go recover this might be to go back to a full computer backup recovery from prior to 10.6. I hypothesis that the links between individual records in Bento and Address Book have somehow become corrupted or broken. Therefore the data may well exist in Bento but it is not retrievable. This could be because Bento might believes incorrectly that the original AddressBook record was deleted. Just to confuse things a bit, another possible source of the problem may be because AddressBook is synchronized with other computers and Google. However, post my upgrades to 10.6, all these other accounts were download from the main computer on which Bento resides. A minor Address Book - Mail bug is possibly related. That is that when I "add to Address Book" by ctl-clicking an email address in Mail, this email address apparently added but it is often not found in Address Book. At times it comes shows up later but often it just disappears entirely.

    I have gotten a little closer to the problem. It appears that the update to SnowLeopard is not the problem. Rather syncing might be the culprit. I sync AddressBook with MobileMe and Google. The latter was as addition immediately after the Snow Leopard upgrade. I did clean out the GMail address book prior to syncing. Recently, I noticed some duplicate records in AddressBook. Some at least had two middle initials with periods. It appears there is a different format for this cell in the two systems. In one record they showed with no space and in the other with a space between the first period and the second letter.
    I was able to recover my AddressBook data. All the records had an update date from my first syncing after adding GMail. The old records had a mix of dates. I just went back to the date with mixed dates. After recovering the records and turning off syncing, Bento is working just fine and all old data is displayed.

  • IPhoto not present after Leopard upgrade

    iMac upgrade to Leopard fails to install iPhoto
    Did an upgrade with format old data. Install appeared to be completed successfully. Went to import some photos and iPhoto was not present. Had installed the iWork suite as well and was under the impression iPhoto was on the OS disk.
    Any ideas why it is not present and how to install? Attempted download install and said not previous versions detected, aborted.
    Thanks for reply / help.

    reinstalled iLife08 and both iPhoto and iMovie icons came up on the bar. Appears to be there now and opens. CD looks fine but hearing a nice hum when installing like an abnormal spinning of the hardware.
    Thanks for the update. If you know of any issues with the original iMax core duo white, drop me a note as I do not believe it something tied to hardware and not the disk. The disk is a family pack upgrade and have never had the problem on another machine....
    Good day and thanks for the thread.

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I have a home network centered around an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. The base station is wired to a Linksys network switch which, in turn, is wired to two computers - an Apple Dual G5 running OS X 10.4.11 and a and Mac MIni which, until yesterday was running Leopard. I have an HP Laserjet P1006 connected to the USB port of the AEBS and, until yesterday, everything worked fine. Yesterday, I ran the Snow Leopard Upgrade on my Mini and now the Mini won't print to the HP over the network. If I connect the printer directly to the MIni, it works fine; as soon as I reconnect the printer to the AEBS, the Mini will no longer print. The lights on the printer will flash but nothing comes out. I have downloaded the HP Printer driver update from Apple but this didn't help. I have reset the AEBS, to no avail. The G5 running Tiger has no problems with printing. And, my daughter just got a brand-new MacBook Pro loaded with Snow Leopard from the factory and she can print to the HP over the network without any problems.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."
