Sharing albums and keywords

I am attempting to share an album over a lan and would like to use keywords, titles, etc. so that the other users can also search the photos. The titles are showing up but the keywords aren't showing up on the other computers. Is there something I need to do to have this work? Everyone is on iPhoto '08 but the versions may be different.

The files are stored on the server
What server? What format is that server?
And where is the library?
iPhoto is very happiest when living on a disk formatted for OS X. When it's not these are exactly the kinds of anomalies that occur.
I created a library without importing the images.
This is should not have any impact on this issue. However: ou need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers. But that's a separate question.

  • Albums and keywords - moving library

    I need to move my library to a new internal drive. I have found the info I need to do this but I'm wondering if all my albums and keywords will be transfered with the photos? Is there anything else I need to worry about or consider?

    Hi Greg,
    As long as you backup then copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to the new drive, you should be all set.

  • Reinstalled PSE7 - how to retrieve albums and keyword tags? [Was: Question]

    Hiya
    Using Photoshop Elem’7- I have had a major problem with my pc and I have gone back to factory settings, I have reloaded the Photoshop software – I can see all my photo’s back on my hard drive and also on Photoshop but I cannot retrieve my albums and keyword tags
    Can anybody help me on this topic?

    Hi
    This is actually the Photoshop forum, and you would do better in the Elements forum. 
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements
    But it seems that Elements creates a catalog file where I suspect it keeps the info you are looking for.
    This is one link, but you could try Google with Adobe Photoshop Elements catalog location, ot just go ask in the other forum.

  • Photos app doesn't show my shared albums and activity

    I've just installed the new Photos App and so far so good, until I try the shared tab.
    cleanest place on my Mac.
    I can still access it from iPhone but now I'm not sure whats going on.
    is my iPhone late in cache?
    is my Photos Mac going to overwrite my shared configurations / subscriptions, have it done it already?
    is it just a bug ?
    anybody else got the same issues?
    I just hope not.

    What are your Preference Settings in Photos?
    Is the Photos Library you are using enabled as System Photos Library in the Photos Preferences > General?
    Is iCloud enabled in the Photos Preferences > iCloud? And also My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing?
    And is the Shared Section of the Sidebar visible? It may be hidden using the invisible Show/Hide control to the right of the title "Shared"
    If all settings are right, but still no Shared albums visible, disable  the shared streams in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options, then restart the Mac, and enable them again in the System Preferences and in Photos Preferences iCloud.
    It may take a few hours for the streams to populate again after resetting them this way.

  • Elements 10 missing albums and keyword tags

    I just upgraded to elements 10 and now have no albums or tags in the new organizer. Any idea why or how to get them?

      Did you forget to convert your previous catalog when you installed the new software? You can do it manually.
    File à Catalog à Convert
    Highlight your earlier catalog and click the convert button.
     

  • Sharing albums and ftp

    Using the organizer in Elements 7, I have created an album to share. I have sent it via ftp to my web site. The problem is the awful light blue back ground around the flash player itself. Here is an example. (http://roffee.org/slideshows/Perspectives/index.html) How do I get rid of that background? I have tried putting the file in a frame page and changing the background color in the html file itself. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    If this is the wrong forum, sorry - please let me know.

    I am not sure about the file name, but it could be something like 'Perspectives' or it is the index.html file, which holds the information about the background color. If it cannot be changed when creating the slide show, you could edit this particular file, maybe use a dark gray (e.g. 343737). See the last line below, which contains the code for the light blue (9ce7ef).
    html lang="en"
    head
    meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /
    title Perspectives /title
    style
    body { text-align:center; background-color:#9ce7ef; }

  • How to restore photos with all albums and metadata to later version of iPhoto?

    Hi everyone
    I recently had a hard drive crash on my "vintage" 2006 intel iMac. Got the HD replaced but the support service I used was unable to retrieve any of my data off it. Luckily I had all files backed up in a cloud service.
    The support service reloaded Snow Leopard onto my new HD but using their own disks, not mine.
    I've downloaded my iPhoto Library folder with all photos etc from my backup service and have tried to simply drop it into my Pictures folder to get back everything I had: photos, albums, photo metadata (I'm thinking Ratings in particular).
    However when I open iPhoto I'm getting the message "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photos using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto"
    I'd appreciate any expert help before I continue. Does this suggest that the support service have loaded an older version of iPhoto than the one I previously had, or could it be the case that they in fact loaded a newer one?
    What's my best course of action to fix this? I'm guessing that I could reload Snow Leopard from my own disks without running a disk erase and get back to the version of  iPhoto that I used to edit these photos before the crash - does that make sense?
    I am not at all technically literate and well appreciate I may be overlooking or misunderstanding something.
    Any help greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    6.0.6 is the latest version of iPhoto 6.
    And no, unless you had iPhoto 08 or some later version already, upgrading will not fix the problem. It's a bogus message. If you did not open the Library with iPhoto 08 or later then the Library is corrupt.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • When I create an album and then try to watch it in slideshow, I get only a black screen with a white title.  No photos come up.  Also when I click on an individual photo in the album, I get a white exclamation point on a black background but no big photo.

    When I create an album of photos and then open the album and try to watch it by selecting "slideshow" I get only a black screen.  The white title comes up briefly but then no photos, only a black screen.  Also when I go back to the album and click on a thumbnail, up comes a big white exclamation point on a black background instead of the enlarged photo.  Any idea what's going on?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

  • Sharing PSE7 Organizer keywords with Bridge?

    I want to share my existing PSE7 Organizer keywords with Bridge. I searched the forums and found an some answers to use PSE7's "File/Write Keyword Tag and Properties Info to Photo" menu option. I did some tests with that option, and it appears to only do what I'll refer to as "additive writes," meaning it will add keywords in PSE7 Organizer for a particular photo, but it will not remove any keywords which are presently in the photo file but not in Organizer's informaton for the same photo file.
    I'm guessing this is the case because PSE7 Organizer cannot assume the keyboard already in the file originally came from Organizer itself, or that the user (regardless of where an existing keyword came from) wants to remove a keyword if it's not in Organizer for the same file. It would be nice if there were a preferences option which one could select such as "Replace all keywords when writing to file" so that a user like myself could make Organizer's keywords the main keywords.
    Does anyone happen to know if I understand this correctly, or is there a way to remove a PSE7 Organizer-written keyword from a file (based on its non-existence in PSE7 Organizer for the same file)?
    If there is no way around this, I'm wondering if it may be better to do things the Bridge-way (which seems more like the general standard) since it seems to always keep the current info in the file, so the state is always with the file itself. Even if some features are missing, it may be better than dealing with this sort of PSE7-only feature. Any comments on this would be great to hear.
    Thanks for any insight on this,
    Tom

    Okay, that makes sense on the Albums. I wasn't aware that Albums were ordered.
    I was using Bridge some more after my post yesterday, and I was seeing that with PSE7, both Albums and Keyword items seem more readily accessible regardless of location of the items (photo files) because there isn't an extensive file system search required since the DB provides a quick search (assuming first-searches and no pre-existing caching in Bridge).
    I started testing Collections with Bridge, and realized that it was sort-of doing that. This is another aspect of Bridge which is sort of a "db" aspect of Bridge in that it requires the browser to persist data seperate from the photo file. .
    What can be a little frustrating about any browser-persisted informaton (such as that for Collections) is to not find anything in the docs about how to ensure one gets a good backup of that info. PSE7 does a great job of providing a feature to do just that. Recall this is one thing I really liked about PSE7 when I was unaware of the benefits of Bridge's "minimalist db" approach (where a "db" in Bridge is anything persisted by itself such as Collections).
    The "how to" backup app-persisted information (aside from docs a user saves, where the user knows the location) is a must for any pro-am or pro person, if not an end user. People don't want information that is key to something they're building over time to be persisted in some mysterious unknown location. I couldn't find what I wanted in Bridge docs, so I did my own hunting, and found Bridge Collection information hiding in "%APPDATA%\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Collections" (i.e., c:\Users\<user_name>\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Collections" on my laptop) in files named "<collection_name>.filelist". But even with that info, I, as a user, would still have to test to ensure I could get a backup good enough for disaster recovery / restoration. I'm a relatively technical user so I cannot imagine what "Dad" or "Mom" would do. This sort of thing is bothersome only because it's remedied with at least a small paragraph in the docs. What would it take to say "Backing Up Bridge Information: If you have a backup program which backs up the "%APPDATA%\Adobe\Bridge CS4" you will have all necessary data to restore the information that Bridge maintains. You must ensure you backup your photo files..." etc. etc. Without that, I have to do a bunch of hunting and testing. 
    All that said, I see how Collections, maintained by Bridge, offer some of that PSE7 power where you don't have to search for files in various locations to find what is already noted in a central Bridge file or "db" such as a Collection for which Bridge has a list of files in the Collection itself. (If Collections could contain other Collections, that would be a nice touch. I didn't see that ability.)
    What I still like about Bridge's approach is that while Albums don't exist, and while Collections are hierarchical, there's a feeling that Bridge is not taking things over where you are forced to use that app. It persists some items relating to its organizational features, but keeps the rest of the info right in the photo file. Still a nice balance. Another nice thing about this minimalist approach is that there's no importing per se. Everything is browseable/maintainable since the file system is the photo db.
    All that said, I can see where PSE7 does things for the non-power user such that they can just use, say, an Album, which has a familiar name, and behaves like an Album with ordering and whatnot. A user like me doesn't need that since I can use tools to create an Album like effect, so the Bridge approach wins since I can fend for myself in areas were I don't see PSE7 to hand hold.

  • IPad not posting to shared album

    I've been sharing photos on various albums for nearly a year with no problems.
    Suddenly it has stopped working properly.
    When I share a photo from my iPad, I cannot see it on my iPhone shared album and no one else can see it either on that album.
    If I share the same photo, using my iPhone, I can see it on my iPad album and others can see it too.
    I've checked my settings and all toggles are set to green.
    I've rebooted my iPad.
    Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    How are you posting to Facebook?
    As a test select one photo and click on the facebook icon in the toolbar and see how it goes
    Since you tell us absolutely nothing except that it does not work it is impossible to be definitive about an answer
    If you are using the iPhoto FaceBook feature (and there are at least two other ways that you could be "uploading to FaceBook) then selecting a photo(s) and clicking on the Fackbook icon will create a Facebook album under Facebook in the source pane. you can add photos to this album and sync them with FaceBook by dragging them to it and (if sync is set to manual) clicking on the sync icon to the right of the album name
    If you are doing a large album it may take a while to sync and show up on FaceBook - do not quit iPhoto until the sync is comp[lete

  • Missing Albums and Photos in iPhoto!

    I started up iPhoto today and none of my pictures are there! All of the folders are gone, none of the pictures are under Events or Last Import. In my hard drive the pics come up under All Images but after a few seconds the section is empty and it shows that there are 0 items instead of the 6122 items that should be there. I tried importing these pictures back into iPhoto, however after I started to select pictures to import it went back to saying I had no photos. I don't know what is going on! This has never ever happened.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.

  • Shared albums missing

    I am unable to see albums that have been shared with me.  I've verified my email address with the sharer, what else do I need to check that may be the cause?

    Is the other user trying to invite you to collaborate in a group library or is he sharing a link to an album he wants you to view?  It is possible that the user is not sharing in the correct way. See this link for details. It is important that the user sets an album to be shared, then views the shared album and copies the link. If they copy the link that they see from their account, it will not work for you.
