Some of the new features of iPhoto 8 (09)

The following are some of the new features of iPhoto 8 that are not publicized on the Apple iPHoto site:
1 - iPhoto 8 now will open directly the library that you double click on instead of opening the last opened library.
2 - it has a new option in the rebuild window, *Rebuild Library Database from automatic backup*. With luck that might just make the need for my Automator workflow to backup the Library6.iPhoto database file obsolete. Let's hope so.
3 - all MobileMe galleries published will automatically be included in all iPhoto Libraries.
4 - when you move your cursor over a thumbnail image there is a small "i" in the lower right hand corner that, when clicked on, opens the Info window for that photo. There you can assign a location via Google.
5 - upon launching iPhoto with the Option key depressed a window will open that will list all iPhoto libraries on your boot drive and all connected HDs except that used for Time Machine. It will also list any folder containing a Library6.iPhoto file. So if you have a backup copy of the dB file in a folder somewhere on your HD that folder will be displayed in the list of available libraries to open.
As a general note I've found that iPhoto Library Manager will work with iPhoto 8 (09) as far as selecting the library to open. I haven't tested the copy, merge or rebuild features as yet.
That's about I've come across in the short time I've been experimenting with it. *By far the best new feature IMO is No.2 above.*

Did you mean to put this one in the iPhoto forum?

  • Just downloaded Firefox 4. Running Windows XP. Some of the new features are mising such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. The look is almost like Firefox 3. Why is this happening?

    Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
    Thanks

    Thanks so much!

  • Just upgraded  iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas?

    Looks like a couple scripts are missing:
    If you republish the entire site iWeb should recreate these for you...
    I don't use the built-in navigation. I usually just create my own:

  • My ios update did not load to my iPhone completely. I have some of the new features but not all of them.

    I have some of the features but not all of them. It seems that the download did not complete.

    Where are you looking for Siri voice selection? It should be in Settings/General/Siri. You must also choose a language that has a choice of voices. US English and Canadian English do, UK and Australian do not.
    What do you see in Settings/Wallpapers & Brightness? You need to tap one of the 2 images to see the selections available.
    As I said, it is impossible that the installation is incomplete; you just aren't finding the new features. If you want to reinstall anyway, upgrade iTunes on your computer to 11.1, then connect the phone using a USB cable directly to the computer (not a hub), click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, then click the Restore iPhone button.

    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?

  • What is the new features of asha 311 version 7.36

    Can anybody tell me what is the new features in new software version 7.36 of asha 311 ????..........

    ^ I've only noticed updated apps. You get new mail, new chat, twitter with push notifications, updated notifications app, added some pre-installed games from gameloft and EA. That's it. UI or menu saw no changes. One change is the volume too loud note when earphones are plugged in.
    Sad thing is that the chipset won't allow you to downgrade. So update only if you're ready to get those updated apps

  • With the new update of iphoto I can not upload more than 10 photos to Facebook

    with the new update of iphoto I can not upload more than 10 photos to Facebook, I can do

    I have the same problem. Why am I now only limited to 10 photos to share in Facebook thru my Iphoto in ipad? Also, i cannot create an album when sharing photos thru Iphoto in ipad. I used to be able to do this. I don't want to upload all my photos in IOS album.  Was this feature removed from the Iphoto?

  • I just love the new features

    congratulations to the dev team

    Good to see some positive feedback, rather than the negative comments we often see here! iMovie '11 is a fun program to use. Like any software, it will have its annoying glitches and missing elements here and there, but overall it's a credit to the developers.
    Like you, I'm enjoying the new features, some of which are not as obvious as the Trailers, for example, "Allow Black" in the Viewer when using letter-boxed or pillar-boxed photos with the Ken Burns effect - or the Rolling Shutter adjustment feature to help correct motion problems ("jello" effect) when stabilizing clips shot with CMOS cameras.
    Apple showed they listen by improving audio editing ("rubber banding" similar to HD 6) and re-introducing a "timeline" option for those who prefer to see everything in a straight line, rather than spread down the screen like word processing. We could go on, but I'll stop there!

  • An overview of the new features in webcenter 11.1.1.4

    JDeveloper has just been released along with the new extensions for Webcenter. This new release is a major improvement for webcenter. We don't longer have a simple webcenter application. Instead we have a ready to use out of the box portal when you create a webcenter application.
    This release also introduces some new features like navigation models.
    I made a small overview of the most important new features. It shows the new template and explains some of the new concepts of a webcenter portal application:

    Konrad,
    Be careful, Adobe does not provide patches or updates for its bugs. Adobe did not care to fix all the bugs in CS3 or all the bugs in CS4. The last update was released over 4 years ago and I do not think Adobe will care to fix any bugs in CS5.
    I will recommend to you to do your own search away from Adobe, and if you still want to buy CS5 with all its bugs that Adobe wont care to fix, at least you will do it informed and knowing what to expect.
    Good luck!

    Hi..
    here can I get a version of Safari 5.1 that is compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3?
    Not possible. You need to update to v10.6.8
    Click your Apple menu > Software Update
    Or update using the this download > Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Then restart your Mac.

  • It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

    I have "automatically create previews" in the preferences UNCHECKED. Why is Aperture creating previews? For the screen image?
    You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.

  • Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it?

    Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??

    Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.
