Setting a new volume for iphoto

I had to reboot my system with Mac OS X.3, but because of memory constraints on the Mac hard drive, I had to install the operating system on my portable hard drive. It starts up okay, but iphoto now doesn't know where to go to find my iphoto library. Is there a way to set iphoto to automatically go to a specific location on the second (portable) hard drive, rather than look in the blank Mac drive? Alternately, is there some good photo presentation like Picassa that I could download onto my portable drive and use instead of iphoto?

I never use iphoto but tried it just for this. iPhoto 5 lets you select a library with the option key under Tiger (not that that should make a difference).
The version does make a difference. The OP is using 10.3 (hence the name of the forum) and if the 10.3 being used has the original iPhoto 2.0 on it, then starting it with the Option key will not produce the effect you can get running iPhoto 5 in 10.4.
This deficiency produced the popular application at the the time *iPhoto Library Manager*, where you would launch it first to choose which iPhoto Library you wanted iPhoto 2 to load. It was a good application but has been superceded by more modern versions of iPhoto that now have this ability built into them.

  • I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto '08 library to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.

    I am trying to move my wife's iPhoto (2007) library on a Macbook to my new iMac for iPhoto '11.  First, when I opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked me to create a library, which I did.  Then I imported her photos via a wireless network to my "new" library.  However, when it finally finished importing, it had imported 3 copies of each photo from her library.  I deleted the "new" library and started over.
    Second, I opened iPhoto on the iMac and chose to use "other library."  I chose my wife's shared iPhoto library and it began transferring the photos to the new iMac (or so I thought).  This worked beautifully as it only brought over single photos and not 3 copies like discussed above.  After editing the new library and adding some photos from an old PC, I shut down iPhoto.  A few hours later I tried to open iPhoto on the iMac and it gave me the opening screen again with choices to create a new library or use a different library.  As it turns out, my wife's Macbook and been disconneted from our wireless network.  I was able to figure out that that unless my wife's Macbook is connected to the network then I cannot access the iPhoto library on my iMac.  I was under the impression that I had copied her library to my computer and that the photo files were now on the hard drive of the iMac.  So when her computer is offline I can no longer access the imported library.  I want her library to stay on the iMac as we plan to sell her Macbook.  As you now know, we cannot access her iPhoto library on the Macbook since she is running an older version of iPhoto.
    So, what I would like to do is to completely transfer the photos from her Macbook to my new iMac and be able to access them on the iMac regardless of whether she is on the network or not because we plan to sell her Macbook to a friend.  Thank you for any help you can provide.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • New Volume for RAID 10

    After a RAID 5 failure, I have set up my data volume as RAID 10 using 4x2TB WD Red drives.  The volume shows as OK on bootup and in the
    Intel Rapid Storage Technology dialogue but it does not come up as an available drive.
    I have initialised it in both the Intel Rapid Storage Technology dialogue and in
    Control Panel\ Administrative Tools\ Disk Management and presumably I have yet to create a new volume in
    Disk Management.  For RAID 10 do I select New Spanned Volume..., New Striped Volume... or New Mirrored Volume?
    I don't think it can be a spanned volume but since RAID 10 is both striped and mirrored, which do I select?

    Glad to here it is sloved, thanks for sharing your solution and experience here.

  • What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

    In brief:
    Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
    The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
    Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
    Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
    Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
    Thanks.

    Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
    Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
    It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
    There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
    I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
    Here's some good reading as well

  • IPod Touch / iTunes sync error -50 on iMac, due to new upgrade for iPhoto

    I have an iPod Touch, software version 3.0.
    I have an iMac, on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    I am on iTunes version 8.2.1.
    I am on iPhoto 09 version 8.1 (415).
    Ever since Apple released it's latest iPhoto upgrade about 2 weeks ago, I have not been able to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, and instead getting a 'sync error -50'.
    Apple's phone tech support did not know what the problem was and recommended me to Restore my iPod, as well as re-install iTunes. This did not help.
    After much aggravation, I found a discussion group addressing the fact that it might have to do with the latest version of iPhoto. So, in iTunes I unchecked the sync iPhoto option, and now the rest of the sync's worked (iCal, Address book, music, movies, etc).
    Still, I am looking for a solution, as I do not find not syncing my photos a long term solution. Can I do this on my own, or does a solution have to come in the form of a fix from Apple?
    I want my photos back on the iPod, and am very thankful for any tips/help (...hello, anyone from Apple reading this?).

    I don't think any of the work-arounds are really valid or deal with the problem. My Mac Pro desktop computer is 2 years old, so the problem obviously has nothing to do with a computer being new. I also don't see how it can have anything to do with iPhoto. If I get this error and "QUIT" iTunes and reboot iTunes, the iPod syncs perfectly, even though no changes were made.
    I actually bought a new iPod this week because I thought my old iPod was failing (due to these repeated errors). Imagine my horror when the brand new iPod had the same problem.
    Hopefully someone can figure out what going on.

  • Best Way to Set up new Macs for Windows Servers

    I am trying to get 5 new iMacs set up to my schools servers running Windows Server 2003. No one else has time to set these lovely machines up and I have no expereince doing any sort of networking. I need to get the machines to login to student accounts and save all the prefence changes and such there and not on the computers. According to my boss this was where they were having problems when trying to set them up. So if anyone has any good tutorials or such they could pass on to me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    The problem with all these instructions that i found when setting up our network is that they all rely on you having a Win2k and a OSX server. This is not the case i think for many of us in small/medium size organizations. We have OSX clients, but not a server nor a spare OSX workstation to make a server out of. Now im sure these various documents can be modified to fit this client only situation but i have been unable to find anyone that has done so yet. I intend to do it myself at soem point but havent found the time yet. We run a mixed network at the office with win2k3 domain but we dont have out mac clients bound to it yet.
    Having said that he best peice of documentation Ive found has been over at bombich.com:

  • HT4437 Can I set a "maximum volume" for Airplay, so I don't accidentally blow out my stereo system speakers?

    I stream music from my PC, running ITunes, to my Airplay-enabled AV receiver (Sony STR-DN1030) or my iTouch. When the music starts streaming the volume is very loud by default.  I must remember to turn the volume low on ITunes or on my AV receiver before starting Airplay.  Is there a maximum volume limit i can set, so I don't have to make the volume adjustment everytime i start up Airplay?

    The Airport Express has been out for years.
    It's WiFi. Your iMac already has an airport (wifi) card in it.
    Plug this in near your stereo and use the audio out to plug into the audio in to your stereo.

  • New version for iPhoto

    when I try to open iPhoto its telling me  I need the new vresion of iso,when i click brings me to another page but no download instructions or download tab

    I downloaded the upgrade then followed the instructions and the same instruction to upgrade comes up every time I try to open the app.
    Are you talking about upgrading the iPhoto application or upgrading the iPhoto Library?
    You have to do two things.
    Upgrade the iPhoto application to version iPhoto 0.6.1.
    Upgrade the iPhoto Library to version 9.6.1.
    If you are receiving upgrade instructions, you are probably upgrading from version 7.1.2 or earlier.
    Then you need to download the iPhoto Library Upgrader (iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader)  and install it and run it.
    if you got prompted to download it, did you run the installer and then launch the installed upgrader from the folder "Applications > Utilities" and then run it and select the iPhoto Library for upgrading. Have you done that?

  • Trying to install the new app for iPhoto and is now paused and I can't get it working

    In the process of downloading the iPhoto app and got stalled and is now stuck on "paused" and I can't get it to "unpause" and download the app. What should I do?

    In order to manage and track the apps you purchase, iTunes requires an account with either a credit card or iTunes card. If the app is free you won't be charged anything, but you still need a method of payment set up.

    Hi,

    3. There are a set of approve administrators, when they login and check pending approval items for proxy admin. they are able to view the request pending for proxy admin
    The requirement is on viewing the approval request form, i need to add the functionality for the logged in admin to take the ownership of the approval request.
    So, the whole point is the admin who has logged in should be able to take the ownership of the workitem from proxy admin.

  • How do I set up new folders for an email account

    I am unable to set up a new folder in my iPad email account. The only folders are inbox, sent and trash.

    At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create them there, and they should then appear in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got. If you're unsure of the type of account then see if you can create additional folders via a browser.
    With iOS 5 later this year you should be able to do directly in the Mail app (not sure if that applies to both IMAP and POP) - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more :
    Even add and delete mailbox folders on the fly
