Some Iphoto Help????

First question: In Iphoto I changed all the titles of my pictures so instead of the normal MEB123.jpg I now have Me smiling for the camera.jpg. The photo names don't replicate from the Iphoto program to the actual file. Some of them do show the correct name but the majority of them do not. What can I do to get them all to say the new titles?
Second question: When I put something into Iphoto it's not showing up under pictures when I try and browse through my pictures through the web. I'm trying to upload some pictures to myspace but I can't see the new pictures that I just added to Iphoto. What's the deal?

Amanda:
1 - you can't get the actual file name to change without exporting the files from iPhoto via the File→Export→File Export menu route and select the "Use Titles" option. Then you'll have to import them back into iPhoto and delete the old version of them. The Titles are for use in iPhoto only.
2 - How are you adding the pictures to iPhoto. Are you importing them or just dragging them into the iPhoto Library folder. If it's the latter you must move them to the desktop and then drag into iPhoto's open window. Once imported you can delete the copy on the desktop.
To upload to an web site you should export as described in #1, resizing to the size you want to upload in the process. Then upload the copies on the desktop.
Do not move, or edit any image file or folder from the Finder. That's committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I cannot select the shuffle feature in Iphoto slideshow. Can some one help?

I cannot select the shuffle feature in Iphoto slideshow. Can some one help?

I would like to use an external monitor (plasma tv) with my MacBook Pro also, which has a resolution 1365x768 - a resolution which is not available under the Display Preferences. I can use the plasma at a 4:3 radio resolution, but I don't see ANY 16:9 radio resolutions available.
Have you found a solution to this yet?

I need some help adding music to my slideshow in iPhoto. When I open iTunes as the source, it says it needs to be open to populate, which it is. I have no knowledge of computers...like, at all....so I need some (simple) help? If possible? Thanks.

Upon upgrading iPhoto, iPhoto Help no longer works. It gives the error message: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet." Help!?

I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

Iphoto help unavailable

Hi, Today I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and iLife '09 to iLife '11. When I started iPhoto, it upgraded the photo collection. I'm trying to use the help tutorials to see what's new, but ALL help topics display as
The selected topic is currently unavailable.
To see all iPhoto Help, you must be connected to the Internet.
I am, of course, connected to the internet - else I couldn't be posting this!
Software Update says I'm completely up to date (ran several updates today).
Thanks for any suggestions,
Ed in Cannon Falls MN USA

Hello KIRS10MG,
The same thing happened to me, but it was 7 DAYS after I "updated" (read "downgraded") my iphoto 11 to ver.9.2.1
I found what appears to be my photos by going to iphoto and clicking on "file" then clicking on "import to library", then going to the bottom part of the left-hand column where it says "media", and clicking on "photos", then, on the top menu bar just to the right of the word "photos" will be a blue or graphite "up-down" arrows box. Click on that, and you should get some choices that you may not recognize, but explore them with the "thumbnails" format selected (that's the one that looks like 4 little squares, it's just to the left of the aforementioned "photos with the up-down arrows" selection). Exploring this in the thumbnails view should allow you to see your photos that "disappeared" Then you should be able to manually import them back into iphoto.
WHY ALL THIS GOBBLDEYGOOK IS NECESSARY IS SOMETHING ONLY THE apple SOFTWARE UPDATERS KNOW!!!!!
Personally, I have yet to restore my photos to where they were originally, that is, on iphoto, but I'm about to do that now, and I'll certainly report on this thread what my experiences were.
Thanks for "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING" apple!!

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop -    I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically   across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ?   =   under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

Iphoto help - duplicate libraries with duplicate pictures

i am in need of some serious help!!!!
in an effort to clean up my pics in iphoto i now have multiple iphoto libraries with many duplicate pictures in these libraries
this is wasting space on my mac and im pretty sure its the rason my mac is sooooo slow
can anyone out there help me??
thanks =)

I agree with Larry in that use the paid version of iPLM to merge A with B into X with the preference in iPLM set to not import duplicates. The merge X with C into Y. Y should then have all of your photos without duplicates. After each merge check the merged library to make sure it has all of the photos of the two libraries you're merging before deleting those two libraries.
NOTE: some photos may have different names and dates but be duplicates and would not be caught in the process. If there are any there shouldn't be many.

IPhoto '08:"iPhoto Help" no longer "helps"

Hi All:
I was looking for some help understanding some of the new editing functions in iPhoto '08, when I clicked on the "Help" menu in iPhoto, and then clicked on "iPhoto Help" submenu.
A small "iPhoto Help" window opened, but when I clicked on any of the subheadings in it, the subhead would be underlined briefly, and then the entire window would close. WHen I would try to run a search, nothing would be found; no matter what the search, even for something like "red eye," which I know is in there.
It seems like my iPhoto help function has been corrupted. In any event, it no longer works at all.
I remember there being a similar problem with the Mac Help in Tiger and there was a way to delete certain files and, in effect, rebuild the Mac Help function.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know of a solution? Any and all help will surely be appreciated.
Thanks.
JDee

Joe:
I know not if it was one of your suggested solutions -- the first of which I tried, the second of which I had already tried and the third of which I considered trying but did not -- or your calm, mellifluous manner of assistance, but regardless of the specifics, my issue is, indeed, solved. And you, mon ami, deserve the +ad hoc ergo propter hoc+ credit. Everything's working as it should, at least on the new MBP. The world, well that's an entirely different story, but at least there's change on the horizon, change I can believe in. Until then....
Thanks, brah.

I lot my mac os how do i download the original one.i don;t have the os cd.can some one help me

i lot my mac os.can some one help me get original mac os for my mac book.

If you don't have your install disks you can get the 10.4 gray disks by calling AppleCare. 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
Or if you don't have any files you want to recover from your hard drive you can get Snow Leopard for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You would then erase and reformat your hard drive and install Snow Leopard. You won't need the box set unless you want the latest iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store in 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote and Numbers for $20 each.

IPhoto Help Crashes

Hi. I'm running iPhoto 6.0.6 under Leopard on a Macbook. iPhoto help opens an "untitled" window and then crashes; Help works in all other applications (this is similar to the problem described in this earlier thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6057670&#6057670 ).
I have already tried the following:
- Deleted help preference files from /Users/Your Name/Library/Preferences and re-ran the application
- Deleted all iPhoto related files and reinstalled iPhoto from my install disks (twice)
Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The crash report above says iPhoto 7.1 and it's up to 7.1.1 now.
If it created a new library no problem then is strongly suggests that your current library is damaged.
Some things to try:
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.

Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV.

Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV. Videos in other folders are there. For instance, one album has 43 videos and 1600 photos. Apple TV only shows the 1600 photos. Is there an issue with albums that have both photos and videos?

You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists.
I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.

Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound not picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube so I know it works. it is working

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound no picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube on my airplay with my ipad and everything is updated so I know it works. But not on HBO go, Max go, showtime go.

What you want to do does not work with an iPd running iOS 5. See the screenshot.
The latest update for HBO GO does allow for AirPlay on Apple TV - sound and video - but only on devices running iOS 6 and Apple TV running 5.1.1 or later - according to the app description.
