Can you go on Facebook while IMovie is sharing your project to Facebook?

So I'm always sharing my videos to Facebook, and I always have to wait. But that's what I'm asking...can you go on Facebook while IMovie is sharing your project to Facebook?
also, go check my youtube channel here:

lol thanks

Of course. Why wouldn't you be able to? All you're doing is waiting on iMovie. Facebook isn't doing anything.

Sharing iphoto projects online?

Hi,
I'm using a Mac OSX, version 10.6.8 and iphoto '11, version 9.2.3.
I made an invitation card using iphoto. I already ordered hardcopies from the apple store, but I wanted to send some online. I was wondering if there was anyway I could email/share a project with certain people online? I see there is a "facebook" option under share, but I don't want to send my invitation to all my friends on facebook, just to certain people.

Before ordering your project preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered project will match it.
You can email this preview PDF

Sharing iPhoto slideshows on Facebook

When creating and sharing an iPhoto slideshow, the file included the default audio clip provided by iPhoto. Is it okay to share this file with the default audio clip or are the audio clips in iPhoto copyright restricted? Where in iPhoto can I find this level of detail? Thanks.

Those sound files are licenced for Personal Use. But it doesn’t matter. Your problem is convincing FaceBook that this is the case, because they consider FB to be broadcasting. So good luck with that.

I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. My final project is now gone!

I have a finalized project in iMovie '11. Shared it on Youtube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Then, when I shared it to iDVD, it reverted to a previous version of the project, so my titles and pictures were out of sequence. Now, in my list of projects, my project is there, but finalized as the previous version which is all out of sequence. My true final project is now gone! What happend?
I didn't notice this problem until after the DVD was burned in iDVD. Then, when I played the DVD in a public setting, I was a bit embarrassed by what played.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

How do I share a an iphoto slideshow on facebook. Have shared photos but it's not letting me share my slideshow.

How do I share an iphoto slideshow on facebook?

I believe I explained how to share on Facebook above. I don't believe that YouTube has the ability to "suck" anything, though sometimes Users upload to the wrong site. As to the music, I would simply point out that broadcasting music purchased from iTunes on the internet exceeds the licence you have. I would expect that this may cause Facebook to reject your project, but good luck with it.

Iphoto has stopped sharing my photos to facebook

My iphoto 09 has stopped exporting/sharing my photos to facebook.
I always uploaded in this manner earlier, but for some strange reason, it doesnt work with a click of a button anymore.
If I click on the FB icon, after selecting the respective album, it comes up with this massage, ' Do you want to set up iphoto to publish to FB? Though it already was set up...
Neverthless, I do that, I select - Set up- after which, it takes me to my preexisting FB page, in a little window...where I can navigate withen it...but then there is no other option...except, 'cancel'. So I end up clicking/selecting, 'cancel'.
My mac book OS is 10.7.5.
Please advice.
Am I doing something wrong...?

Appearently there is an issure between iPhoto and FB - there are many reoports of this - one work around is to export photos to a desktop folder un use a browser to upload from there
And someone posted a suggested solution a week or so ago - I have no idea as to the validity of the solution but some people seemd to find it helpful - you can find it by searching the forums (maybe even in the more like this list) and see what you think about it

Importing photos from shared iPhoto library

I have all my photos on my Macbook and have home sharing set up to share that iPhoto library with my iMac (within iPhoto…easy enough). Does anyone know if it's possible, from iMovie on my iMac, to access that shared iPhoto library on my Macbook to select photos to add to an iMovie project on my iMac?
I hope that's not confusing. And you might ask why I don't just do the project on my Macbook. I could, it's just a little more user friendly to work on my iMac.
Thanks!

Two ways to do this:
1. Export from the other library to the finder using the File -> Export command. In the dialogue be sure to tick the box at 'Titles and Descriptions., then import to your Library
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files plus all associated versions and metadata between libraries.

Can't export from iphoto '11 to facebook with facebook exporter

Help!
I've been trying to export photos from iPhoto '11 (Version 9.2.1) without success. I am running OS X (10.6.8). This is the error message I keep seeing, no matter which way I attempt to make a connection (through the 'Accounts' window in Preferences, or through the 'Share' tab when I select a photo to export).
Here are the following steps I have taken, without any success:
Changed my Facebook password.
Logged out of Facebook.
Downloaded and installed the 'Facebook Exporter for iPhoto' plugin from Facebook; alhtough this is suspect, since here's the most recent comment from Facebook on this plugin:
The home for the Facebook Exporter for iPhoto - athttp://developers.facebook.com /iphoto/ - is temporarily down, as we build out a new version of it. In the meantime, you can download the application from this profile page, using the button at the left. Happy photo sharing!

Re-booted my Mac after installing the plugin.
Verified that the plugin is actually on my hard drive.
Searched Google and Apple Support for help, but here I am...
I really don't like Facebook, so maybe this the final hint that I should just give it up...

Use Apple mail - set in the iPhoto preferences

Is it possible to sync an iPhone to one mac for music only and another mac for everything else? What about shared iPhoto?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage my iphone and that of my wife.
Our set up is that we share music that is on my imac under my apple store id. We also like to have all of our photos in iphoto on that imac.
She has her own macbook and I'd like to use icloud to sink her personal bookmarks, calendar and other stuff.
I've thought about seeing if I could set her phone up to sync with icloud as appropriate, turn on wireless sync on her imac for syncing everything but music, then sync that same iphone on the imact but just sync music.
I've tried to point her macbook to my imac itunes library and that doesn't seem to be working very well.
The other wrinkle is that she is taking photos on her iphone that I'd like to show up in our shared iphoto library and photo stream. Currently we have our individual icloud apple ids so we may sync our own bookmarks and such and we use a separate "store" id for music and apps and such. I'm not sure I see a way for me to merge iphotos into a shared library/stream?
1. Any thoughts on the best way to manage two iphones, each with their own computer, but a shared music library?
2. Any thoughts on the best way to merge iphoto?
I've been experimenting with setups and I have a feeling folks with more experience have probably worked this out better than the way I'm thinking of doing.
Thanks.

Best practices for sharing iPhoto libraries across multiple Macs

I have a pair of iMacs running 10.6.x. and iPhoto 11 connected via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme. I am looking for a way to share my iPhoto library between the two Macs.
I found an Apple Support note on the topic (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198) which states that a disk image is a supported location for a shared iPhoto library (with limitations acceptable to me) and it strikes me that this would be a way of hosting a shared iPhoto library onto a NAS device.
Am I missing a simpler solution or, more importantly, am I missing any blindingly obvious caveats? I'd love to hear from anybody who has tried this (successfully or otherwise) or anybody who has a better idea. I haven't bought a NAS device yet, so I'm open to alternative suggestions.
Specific requirements:
Members of my family use either one of a pair of iMacs.
The only user who edits the iPhoto library is me and I only need read/write access from one machine.
iPhoto library access limited to one user at a time is acceptable and practical in my case.

Easiest:
If the other users only get to see the Library then just use iPhoto Sharing.
Enable sharing in the iPhoto Preferences on the Host machine, then go to the other macgine and in the same location enable 'Look for Shared Libraries'
Other forms of sharing will give the users read/write access to the Library.
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

Sharing iphoto library on the same computer between different users

Can anyone tell me how (without having to write my own code) I can share photos easily (so I can teach my parents, who know nothing about mac, how to do it) between different users on the SAME COMPUTER?
I am so frustrated! You can share with anyone else in the world, but when it is on the same computer I can't figure out how to share!

Hi Mereditty,
Here are all the links I have for sharing a couple of different ways.
SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
-both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
-both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
-Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
You can try one of these three methods:
1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
4- I have also read about ShareAlike
There is no other info on the site about how it works.
I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

How do I import an Iphoto Project (book) directly into Aperture 2?

I have a book that I did as a project in iPhoto '08 that I would like to import directly into Aperture 2 and "redo" the book using Aperture's new features.
Although I imported my iPhoto library I don't seem to have this project in Aperture and when I look to export the project from iPhoto it wants to export it as a movie.
Since the photos from iPhoto are in Aperture I figured that importing the iPhoto project would be easy. I don't want to recreate the book again if I can help it - I just want to import and modify it in Aperture.
Is it possible to do and can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks,

You CAN completely customize the text in iPhoto books, including left/center/right justifications, and it is fairly easy. Here's the workaround:
1) In your iPhoto book (or calendar or whatever) layout, highlight the text you want to modify or change its alignment.
2) Launch TextEdit and open a blank document. Paste the text from iPhoto into the document.
3) Still in TextEdit, highlight your text. Using ordinary word processing methods, modify or realign your text as desired. When satisfied, highlight the customized text and copy it.
4) Back in iPhoto, paste the newly modified text you just copied from TextEdit into the desired text box, overwriting (or deleting first) the original text. All the modifications you made in TextEdit should apply.
This trick can work wonders for helping make an iPhoto book completely your design.

Sharing iPhoto Library Not Recomended?

According to this.
Is this really a problem? I would like to do this if its not a problem. Acually I do have several iPhoto Libraries in the /Users/Shared folder and so far in iPhoto 5 there didn't seem to be any major problems except for the one listed at the bottom. When upgrading to iPhoto 6 yesterday I did get the permission error while opening a /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library for the first time and I did this.
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
And it seems to be fine. I would really like to keep the iPhoto Libraries in the /Users/Shared folder if I can so that both me (Admin) and my wife (Standard) can access/edit/add/delete pics to this library. Thats why I'm troubled why it's not recommeded.
I also use iPhoto Library Manager v3.2.1 and have the options set as Owner and Group have Read & Write and Others - Read Only. I also have the settings Permissions to Apply as enabled to automatically apply before launching iPhoto and when iPhoto Quits. But I only use it if I want to change libraries if not I just open iPhoto.
I noticed in iPhoto 5 that sometimes after importing photos to this library from one user that when accessing that library from another user iPhoto wouldn't open until the permissions were changed again. I think this happened when I did not launch iphoto from iPhoto Library Manager. Does this mean if I leave the library in the Shared folder I should after importing photos always open iPhoto with iPhoto Library Manager to change the permissions. Will this fix the problem?

Hello, I have an issue where my iPhoto library is not visible in iTunes Photo Sharing Preferences. I wish to have my iPhoto library (Aperture Library) available on my Apple TV.
Does your joint Aperture/iPhoto library show in the Finder as "Kind Aperture Library"?
Then set your Photo Sharing to share from Aperture and not from iPhoto.
When I try to sync or share iPhoto libraries from iTunes, it will look for libraries "Kind iPhoto" and not sync with an Aperture library, even if it is the current iPhoto library.

Sharing iphoto library in Shared folder - so frustrated!

I am so frustrated trying to put the iPhoto Library in the Shared folder, in order to give all users Read & Write access. It worked for about a month, and now my wife suddenly is getting lots of permission problems. I tried making her the "owner" of the library, but that caused iPhoto to not read it at all and say the Library was 0 k in size. Once I changed ownership back to me, it was 20GB.
Certain folders inside the library give her Custom permission, so I went in and changed permission to Read/Write. Doesn't help - photos in iPhoto disappear or black out. Sometimes a folder (like a certain date) won't even show on her side at all.
This seems like such a simple thing, and something most people would want to do. Why won't this work correctly???
Any other ideas?! Thanks!!

have you read this article?
Sharing via the Shared Folder -- Another major annoyance with versions of iPhoto prior to iPhoto '09 was that you couldn't just put your iPhoto Library in the /Users/Shared folder to share it among multiple accounts on the same Mac, since iPhoto always set the permissions on thumbnails to the account that imported the photos, preventing other accounts from editing those photos and having the edits reflected in the thumbnails.
That limitation has now been fixed in iPhoto '09, so you can share an iPhoto library merely by moving it to /Users/Shared and then double-clicking it to open in iPhoto from each account. You may be prompted to repair permissions on the first access - click the Repair button to do that. Note that this also works for storing an iPhoto library on an external hard disk that's shared among users or on a network volume for access across a fast network.
Only one person may access a shared iPhoto library at a time.
