Should I upgrade to iLife 08
I have iLife 06. I use iPhoto constantly. I use iDVD periodically. That's all I use. Is it worth it to upgrade to 08? I'm starting into my busy time with photography and don't need the hassle of a program that has a lot of problems.
I have iLife 06. I use iPhoto constantly.
You may want to also post the same question / concern in the iPhoto Forum if you haven't yet done so.
Here's my take for what it's worth..... yes, you should upgrade but only when you have the time to do so and certainly not in the middle of a working project. Hold off on the update for a lull in your current workload. I can't overstate the importance of backing up your current work / hard drive prior to updating (especially when dealing with iPhoto and iDvd). Hard drives are relatively cheap compared to the time and effort you place in your work. Good luck and hope the advice is helpful.

IPhoto 2 user...should I upgrade to iLIFE?
Hi! All of the sudden I started having problems with my iPhoto. Suddenly all of my photos disappered from all of my albums. It's bizzare since the files are all still there. I'm in the process of trying to recreate the libraries through a method I read on someone else's posting (hold "option" and "shift" while opening up iPhoto); we'll see if it works. I'm wondering though if I should or can upgrade to iLIFE. I've read various things about it and the features on iPhoto in particular look compelling. What would I need to do to upgrade and is it worth it? did you have to recreate all your albums, etc?

Advice wanted: Should I upgrade to iLife '11 on my iMac that has Aperture?
David Pogue just mentioned that iLife '11 supposedly has some kind of incredible slide show feature that turns your slides into some kind of movie trailer.
Now I don't normally do slide shows so haven't used them much in either iPhoto or Aperture. So rather than wasting all kinds of time experimenting, I figured I'd come here first for some advice.
OK, now, I have two machines: a MacBook Air with iLife '11 and an iMac with iLife '09.
The iMac (my main machine) also has Aperture 3.1 on it. In your opinion, is it worth the $50 to upgrade iLife '11 (remembering that I already have it on the MacBook Air)? Or should I just be happy using iLife '09/Aperture to generate slide shows?
And will the incredible feature Pogue is talking about make me want to use iLife '11 on my iMac so much that I will want to avoid the hassle of transferring photos to my Air every time I want to use the slide show? Does Aperture do or have something plug-ins that does something comparable to what iLife '11 does?
What do you guys think?slide show feature that turns your slides into some kind of movie trailer.
That's in iMovie.
Personally, I don't see the point. But you have the thing on your MBA, so explore for yourself is the best advice.

I should have never upgraded to iLife 06!
I am very unhappy with what has happened since I upgraded to iLife '06. All of our old DVD projects, which we wanted to give away as presents to some other people, are totally borked!
1) One project for our Grandfather's funeral I have can no longer find the iPhoto pictures that we had. The path has completely changed to the photos, and I have no way of figuring out if the IMG_0005.jpg picture I need is actually the right one (because there are multiple IMG_0005.jpg's for different rolls and years).
2) Another project we have for a friend's wedding will no longer even open! I just click it to open the project, and returns me back to the Open Exisiting Project dialog.
I am thoroughly disgusted with what has happened. Anyone know any solution for this? If this is the future from Apple, I am done.You have an indexing problem with iPhoto that has been discussed here several times. (After an iLife upgrade, I always open the iApps in the iPhoto, iMovie and then iDVD sequence.)
I understand your frustration with the upgrade, but your title isn't likely to attract the kind of attention you need - you need to be more specific, like iPhoto images can't be found - or something like that. "Rants' rarly get attention.
I suggest you go to the iPhoto forum and ask for help. Old Toad will be able to help you (you might even do a search on this forum for Old Toad). -
Purch. & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..
Hi ~
_Purchased & installed upgrade from iLife 2 to iLife 08, but I have questions..._
First I made sure I backed up my 5,500 photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive. (The only downfall to this backing-up process is that I haven't found an easy way to back-up the comments attached to each photo. Any advice on this? Part of the "horror" to losing one's photos is also losing the comments added to them over the years.)
Back to the install... I installed iLife 08 and it installed correctly. I checked to see what version of the applications I have in the dock on my desktop - I figured it would just import existing data (photos, tunes, etc.) into the newer version and replace it in the dock - +it only did this for iDVD+, of course it wasn't that easy for the others.
I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
I am most concerned with iPhoto and making sure all the photos AND their comments import correctly into the newer iPhoto 08. I am nervous about this so I want to make sure I do the process correctly.
I also want to make sure my iTunes information imports correctly to the newer version as well.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kathy(The only downfall to this backing-up process is that I haven't found an easy way to back-up the comments attached to each photo. Any advice on this? Part of the "horror" to losing one's photos is also losing the comments added to them over the years.)
If you backed up the iPhoto Library Folder then you got everything - photos, albums, comments etc
I can't find the newer version of iPhoto. My iPhoto in the dock still says version 2. iTunes in my dock is version 7 (7.4.2). iMovie is version 3 (3.0.3). But the new Garageband is there in the dock. And of course, iDVD is the newer version '08.
The Dock is not important. Look in your Applications Folder for iPhoto 08. That's where it should be. The Dock is just a shortcut to that. What version is in your Apps folder?
To upgrade a Library from v2 to iPhoto 08 all you do is open the Library with the newer version.

Should I upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard on Early 2009 Mini?
Just got an Early 2009 Mini on eBay. Here's the specs:
2 Ghz Core 2 Duo Intel CPU, 120 Gb Hard drive, 4 GB RAM and a Super Drive optical drive
Wondered if it should be upgraded to SL or not. How does Snow Leopard compare to Leopard? Also, I've noticed on eBay that there's Full Retail versions of Snow Leopard available for sale. I've only seen upgrade versions, not full. Is this true?
Thanks.
silverado93I've got a 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo (2nd Gen) and had OS Tiger originally on it. I've sinced went to Leopard and then Snow Leopard through the OS releases. I found that since my original HD was only 80 Gb (it died on me last year and now have a 500 Gb) that the stream lined snow leopard was a great benefit as it made every program on the computer (Ilife, etc) smaller in size. The only downside for me was that the USB webcam i had was not supported by with snow leopard and stopped working. The Ecamm company who sells a usb driver online for usb based cams to work with macs do not support snow leopard OS and will not make a driver for it. So I've gone back to Leopard for the time being.
On another note, with the older mini that i have, when i bought Ilife 11 and installed it, i found that the new iphoto program was very slow and lagged so much, that it was bothersome in comparison to the previous iphoto in ilife 10 which never had an issue. It was not worth the upgrade for this machine and i have gone back to ilife 10 as a result.
And since my machine is older, my internal speaker has recently died, preventing me from using external speakers. So just a note, that these items may fail, but are replaceable. -
Upgraded to ILife '08 and everything went wrong
Hello,
This is my 1st time to post here and I am kind of new to mac. Hope someone can help.
I recently upgraded to iLife '08. Upon doing so a few things happened:
1. Previously I had a folder on my hard drive called Photo Library and in that folder where all my photos. That folder no longer exists. It is now a non-folder. However, if I ctrl and click and choose 'show package content' I can see my entire photo library.
2. One of the things I really like about iPhoto '08 is the nice box to the left of the iPhoto box that lets you organize all your photos, create events etc. However, that nice box to the left is not even there. I have sense imported new photos to my computer and iPhoto. I can see the photos, but again the box is not there.
3. Lastly, none of my photos from my photo library show up in the iPhoto screen when it is opened.
So, it seems as if my computer is not recognizing the path to my photos. Would you agree? Can you tell me how to fix it? I have considered uninstalling iLife '08 and reinstalling, but I am not sure if that will really fix things. I have sense backed up all my photos to a CD just to be safe.
Any advice would be really helpful.
Thanks,
MazhenniMazhenni
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Previously I had a folder on my hard drive called Photo Library and in that folder where all my photos. That folder no longer exists. It is now a non-folder. However, if I ctrl and click and choose 'show package content' I can see my entire photo library.
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. 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. The is never a need for you to go into that folder, period. There are no user-serviceable parts there.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
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. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
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.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
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.
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.
2. One of the things I really like about iPhoto '08 is the nice box to the left of the iPhoto box that lets you organize all your photos, create events etc. However, that nice box to the left is not even there. I have sense imported new photos to my computer and iPhoto. I can see the photos, but again the box is not there.
Move the cursor to the extreme left of the iPhoto Window until it becomes a '+' then click and drag right.
3. Lastly, none of my photos from my photo library show up in the iPhoto screen when it is opened.
Hold down the option (or alt) key when launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point it at the iPhoto Library. If iPhoto sees a valid library there it will open it. If not then you have a damaged library file:
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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.

Hello All,
I know many of you have been having problems with Ilife 6, here is how I approached it.
1) Backup your current system, Carbon Copy Cloner is good for this.
2) To test the stability of both ILife 6 and Tiger (I was running panther and Ilife 5 before). I installed a new 40Gb and added Tiger, downloaded all the updates.
3) Made this new drive my startup, installed Ilife 6, built a project rendered and burned and image( I never burn straight to DVD), then using Disk Copy I created a DVD. All went well, it might even be a tad faster that Panther.
4) Once I was satisfied with the stability, I ran two other projects. Later with a back up of my oriniganl confi(panther and Ilife6) I upgraded to Tiger, did the software updates. At this point I had an image I could burn, tested with Disk utility to make sure that there were no conflicts between Patchburn and Tiger.
5) I then installed ILife 6 and all the themes were there. By the way Ilife 6 has the Themes from previous ILife versions.
6) Tested Ilife 6 and I am in the middle of rendering a project in Ilife 6.
The new Themes are nice, but very similar. I believe all are motion themes.
My advice is to make a backup before you start.Also note the following KBA:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n93634
Note particularly the second block down under iLife 6. In very small print it says that if you are using 10.4.2 or earlier YOU MUST INSTALL TIGER 10.4.4 BEFORE you INSTALL iLife 6. To me that also includes everyone who has 10.3.9 (or earlier) and wants to upgrade to Tiger at some time in the future.
My hunch is that there are many folks who have/had 10.3.9 and did the upgrade to iLife 6 and now have performance and other problems.
You should uninstall iLife 6 BEFORE you upgrade to Tiger. THEN and ONLY THEN install iLife 6. While I've heard some folks say that it didn't matter, Apple would not have placed that caveat there UNLESS it was necessary.
To me Apple should have but that Caveat in big red letters on every ad they have about iLife 6. Instead, they place in in small print in a KBA. That's the only place I've seen that note.

No audio for clips in my event library since upgrading to iLife '09
After upgrading to iLife '09, I noticed something odd in the new iMovie. All of my clips (recorded with a Sanyo Xacti HD1A and imported into the previous version of iPhoto DO show up in the event library, but DO NOT play any sound in the event library. If I copy a clip or move it up to the project editor the audio plays there. Does anyone know why I am getting no audio for these clips in the event library or what can be done to correct the issue?
Thanks,
-MikeFinally got some sound on the clips in my iMovie '09 event library. This is what worked here: I went into the Pictures folder and showed the package contents of the "iPhoto Library". I went into the "Data" folder. I went to a "2008" folder. I located the folder of the first video clip I had for the holiday footage... "Dec 14, 2008". Inside that was a QuickTime file "SANY0001" and a JPEG "SANY0001.jpg". I zipped up the "Dec 14, 2008" folder. I dragged the folder to the trash. I dragged the .zip file out to the desktop.
I opened iPhoto '09. It showed an event for Dec 14, 2008 with a dashed-line round rectangle where it would have normally shown the first frame of the video clip. I closed iPhoto '09 and opened iMovie '09. It alerted me that it needed to generate a thumbnail for some video, and after about a minute the clip was in my event library and playing audio. Not only that... ALL clips in my event library now are playing audio. I quit iMovie '09 and went back into the "iPhoto Library". A new "Dec 14, 2008" folder was there with a new "SANY0001" QuickTime file (I wonder where it got this file from... hidden cache or backup somewhere?). I expanded the .zip on the desktop and dragged the original JPEG file from it to the new "Dec 14, 2008" folder.
I opened iPhoto '09 again. Now the thumbnail (obviously the JPEG file) displays fine.
Double checked iMovie '09... Yep, still playing the audio in ALL the clips in the event library.
I'm not really sure why this worked the way it did. The time it took to generate the new thumbnail was ONLY for the one clip... so it seems rather odd that all the subsequent clips in the event library started to work. Perhaps I just got lucky and it is only that first clip that was throwing everything else off in the thumbnails... or maybe iMovie just looks at the first clip in the event library to determine if it is playing sound or not for all of them?
Another oddity? The original SANY0001 file is "17.2 MB". The new one, which appears to be exactly the same in quality, is "10.8 MB". The "More Info" section reveals a bit more that might be of interest. The original is Codecs: Photo - JPEG, Integer (Big Endian). The new one is Codecs: Photo - JPEG, Integer (Little Endian). Total bit rate in the original is 2,570. In the new one it is 1,605.
Ah well. It works!!! Now I can finally have some fun exploring the new features of iMovie '09 -
Hello,
My MacBook is running super slow. I downloaded Memory Clean from the App Store and I regularly have 15MB or free memory available.
In Activity Monitor I usually see the following:
~800 MB kernel_task
~500 MB softwareupdated
~500 MB Image Capture Extension
In Console, I see mdworker.bundle errors attributed to UID's: 501, 503, 1422
My current UID from what I can tell is 502. Other UID's left over from various upgrades are 89, 99, 235.
Lastly, Drive Genius is giving me a Drive Integrity Warning. But I can't create a bootable clone.
I have no idea if the above problems are related. I'd like to think I just run a lot of stuff that eats my memory and upgrading the RAM would be the easy path. What say you all?
-Jeff

Can't open iWeb after upgrading to iLife 11 (Domain.sites2.)
I just upgraded my iLife package from 09' to 11' just a few days ago. Since then I haven't been able to open up iWeb (09'). I realize that the iLife 11 upgrade shouldn't have harmed iWeb 09', but it's the only change/add that I have done to my machine in the past week. Every time I try to launch iWeb either from the dock or from the domain file itself, I receive the following iWeb error:
Can't open file "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/iWeb/Domain.sites2."
Has anyone seen this problem?MACTr@KkeR wrote:
Can't open file "/Volumes/Macintosh HD/iWeb/Domain.sites2."
Did you move the Domain.sites2 file to that location? ...It can be moved, but most peopIe leave it where it usually resides and would see an error msg saying:
"Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
You could try moving your Domain file to the above location and double-click it there. And remember to always backup all your Domain files before messing with them.
By the way, rather than posting a P.S. in your Public Profile:
"i've tried repairing permissions on the domain file with Batchmod as well."
...you can edit a post within 15 minutes of posting — just click on the pencil icon in the post or reply you want to edit. Then make your changes and click on the Edit Message button to post those changes. Each edit re-starts your 15 minute window for re-editing. (If you're outside the 15-min. window, simply post again.) -
Can no longer attach my photos to documents since upgrading the iLife 08!
I upgraded the iLife 08 and am adjusting to the new format BUT I am feeling frustrated and po'ed because when I make word documents or want to attach photos to emails, no can do! For some bizarre reason, the Pictures tab, then the Library, no longer is accessible. So I go into the iPhoto, save the photo to the desktop, then insert it into the document. But that is time-consuming!
What happened to being able to easily and conveniently going into the Library and selecting whatever photo I wanted and inserting or attaching it?
I feel like I got ripped off...$80 for a big headache. Yes, am whining, but am hopeful that someone can help. I almost miss my old PC, that is how frustrating it has been...Click here for background information and some possible solutions.

Should I upgrade my 2008 iMac from 10.6 to 10.7 or 10.8?
I'm wondering (a) should I upgrade at all and what to and (b) if I do can I go back to 10.6 somehow?
(a) I would like to have increased connectivity between my iMac and iOS devices via iCloud, and I like the new Mail app in Lion/ML. Anyone got experience with older iMacs running Lion or ML? How well do they cope? Any advantages or disadvantages of note?
If a lot of people find that performance is really bad on similar iMacs the following is not relevant. (I have increased RAM to 4GB (max) and have a 320 GB HDD)
I was thinking of some ways to upgrade that might allow me to just see how the iMac handles a new OS and still allow me to go back to SL if it slows down too much.
1. Install Lion on a partition. If it works well install Lion onto whole system, if not delete partition.
2. Install Lion on whole system and if slow go back to 10.6 via a Time Machine backup (doubt that would work).
3. Install Lion on whole system and if slow go back to 10.6 via a backup in other software (CCC for example – which I don't have yet – might work?).First check that your Mac meets the System requirements for Lion...

Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion.

You should also consider more RAM... Lion is a hungry beast...
You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...

Should I upgrade the hardware or replace the laptop?
I have a late 2006 model Macbook that I received in Decemeber 2006. I'm interested in purchasing a new Macbook, but am also wondering whether I should instead upgrade the hardware? The Macbook seems to always be pushing itself harder than it should as the fan is always audible and always has been, so much so that when I use Skype the person on the other line can't hear me very well because of it. It heats up like crazy too at every use. Sometimes it runs so slowly that it can take 45 minutes to even just close some tabs and windows down as it has to think about it first (spinning beachball). I'm in Uni at the moment and have been for a while now and would love for my laptop to run like it used to when I first got it, or even be able to update it's software (but even that's not possible because it's hardware isn't compatible). I've transferred a lot of my data onto an external harddrive to free up some space and help it run better, but it's still pretty slow in comparison to today's computers.
Any ideas?i would suggest going for a new Macbook or a refurbished one from Apple.
normally, i would suggest upgrading the RAM and swap the hard drive for a SSD. unfortunately, that might not even work for you.
once you upgrade your apps to the current version, they tend to be more memory and processor intensive.
so upgrading your macbook might be a waste of money.
again, those are my thoughts and you can either go with it or ignore it.....
If you own a late 08 Macbook Uni like I do, then I would suggest to upgrade the RAM and go with a SSD to give it a couple of years more but because you have a 2006, buying a new one would be a better option especially if you want to install Mountain Lion.
good luck.. -
Should I upgrade to Tiger from Panther on a 6 year old G4?
Although my machine excedes the minimum requirements for Tiger, I have held off on upgrading for a long time, because when it first came out, I heard reports that it was much slower than Panther on older macs.
I now, however, have two pieces of software that I want to run that require Tiger, so I am debating again whether to upgrade. My computer is stable and runs well, and I don't want to hurt that or slow it down significantly.
My computer is a dual 550Ghz G4 with 640 mb of Ram and about 5 Gigs of free boot drive space. I did get the DVD rom drive installed when I bought it, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Should I upgrade?Hi Matthew,
since you already run 10.3.9 it does not make much sense to upgrade. Many of the new features of Tiger will not run on your computer due to limited hardware resources. If you are happy with Panther, stay with it until you buy a new computer. My G3/900 iBook runs happily with Panther as well.
BTW: 10.4. Tiger is NOT slower than Panther, in some situations it is even faster.
