Source of pictures for a foto calender in iPhoto

I want to create a calender with about 40 pictures, I've choosen out of thousands of pictures in my iPhoto account and put it in a album.
iPhoto allways shows in the left bar the whole account to choose pictures out if.
How can I reduce this search or source of pictures to the 40 saved in a specific album?

What is your iPhoto version, hallopaul?
Generally, in any iPhoto version: To create a calendar from 40 photos in an album, open the album in the library source list and select all 40 photos at once. Only then create the calendar with "File > New > Calendar".
Then you will only see these 40 photos in the "Photos" tab of the Calendar view.
In iPhoto '11 you can shorten your source list in the Library inspector by hiding sections of the source list. There are hidden "Show/Hide" buttons to the right of the section headings.
And if your list of albums is too long, group them by puuting them in folders and only open the folder with the albums that you currently need.

  • Cannot import pictures for my albums?

    Hey
    I have recently purchased the lovely iPod Touch and I would therefore like to download the pictures for my music. However, when I attempt this, I am told that the program was unable to download the pictures for some albums. I attempted to get pictures for a little over 500 songs and iTunes was unable to download 344 of them...
    How can this be?
    Best regards
    Jesper

    iTunes will only download covers for albums that are on sale in the store, if any of the songs aren't available in the iTunes Store you'd have to add the artwork for them manually. The automatic method also suffers from the occasional spelling quirk, for instance I recall reading that the last Radiohead album was listed (for a time at least) under Radioheads. You'll get information on both methods of adding artwork at this link: iTunes 7 for Mac - Adding artwork to songs and other items
    If you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
    Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click (or Control - click) on the image, choose "save image to the desktop" and once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again.
    If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.

  • How long should it take to upload pictures for iPhoto books

    I have created a book for Christmas on iPhoto.  The book is 100 pages.  There are two steps to the process of sending in your order.
    1.  Assembly (which it assembled no problem, under 30 min)
    2.  Upload (it shows a bar and a blue line moves as it uploads)
    I have been uploading for 2 days now and I am 1/4 of the way there.  Now while I am waiting for it to upload I cannot do anything with my iPhoto pictures.  Which is a problem since I take pictures for my school and I need to edit pictures by Tuesday.
    It states under the "Uploading book to the store...."  Note: Any interruption of the upload process will cancel your order.
    I have enough memory that this should not be the problem.  I have turned off every application, restarted my computer, checked for updates.  Nothing helps.  I have had to cancel this order 3 times now and restart the process as I needed to use iPhoto for school projects.
    This should not take more than 2 days!  What is going on?  Any help would be wonderful.  Thank you

    Two days is way too long for the upload, unless you are having a very slow Wi-Fi.
    There may be a something interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store (Anti virus software, firewalls), or you have included unprintable items.
    Is the PDF preview of your book correct? Make a review and check it carefully for missing items, see this help page:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    If the preview is alright, try to upload your book again in Safe Mode. That will disable non standard extensions, and prevent them from interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store:

  • Help Needed on Importing Pictures for a Contact...

    I've managed to get a picture or two in Addressbook, but it must have been pure luck. Tonight I went to replace the "flower" that is next to a persons name, and though I dragged a picture into the little frame where you can enlarge and shrink it successfully, and I pressed the button that says "SET"....the picture never "takes" and replaces the one that is there.
    Is there a catch to easily getting a picture to go in here?
    Thanks for any advice
    Tom

    Try this (from AB help):
    Address Book supports pictures in JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, or just about any graphics format. If you can view the image with Preview (located in the Applications folder), Address Book can generally use the image as a picture for a card.
    To choose an image for a contact:
    Select the contact to which you want to add an image and click Edit.
    Double-click the image if there is one. If there is no image, double-click the box to the left of the contact's name.
    Click Choose and locate the image you want to use.
    Drag the image in the box to select the portion you want to appear in the box.

  • How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

    How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

    If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes?  If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • How do you use your pictures for web, iPad & smartphones? All the same size??

    i realy think back and froth about this question.
    i guess it makes sense - to use all the same size -  because newest Ipads and Iphones are with retina-screens !??
    on the other hand i use background-pictures for the website with a lenght of 1800px (it's 400 kbit) so it may slow down my the mobile version
    but i know , people always scroll and zoom into evrything with an Ipad and  smartphone ... So what to do?  What is your hint ?
    Thank you for your time ;-))

    For me anyways, I 'always' create my images to the size I need and then bring them into what ever web design tool I am using wether it is Muse, Dreamweaver, Coda or a number of others. It takes a few minutes longer but I always get the results I need and expect.

  • Error in setting up debugging: Source not found for Catalina.createStartDigester() line: 280

    I am trying to set up the development environment using Portal (5.0.4), Eclipse and Tomcat-4.1.30-LE. I've set up Eclipse according to the instruction of "Debugging portal source code: Eclipse".
    I got the following error when I select "Run | Debug" in Eclipse and Tomcat won't start.
    Source not found for Catalina.createStartDigester() line: 280
    Has anyone seen this before? How do fix it?

    maybe this is just because there is no source code for the JCO Classes. I don't think SAP ships JCO Classes with source Infos for debugging.
    In debugging i would suggest just not to step into the JCO Methods.

  • Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event

    Photos will not allow me to set the key picture for the album or event - it is set to grey !
    Anyone else had this and found why ?
    new PHOTO app replacing iPhoto bugs/ Problems OTHER PROBLEMS :
    - no longer has a five star rating system
    - my keywords for selecting albums are gone.
    - cannot copy location of one photo to another
    - cannot have an album with  keywords AND rating > a value
    - cannot set key photo of album/event
    - multi parameter search feature gone
    Anyone got any ideas how to get around this terrible downgrade of the software ?
    BTW I have just discovered that iPhoto and its' libraries are still there, so I can go back but be left behind and frozen in time on this version if I do.
    Photos now take up 700Gb whereas it was 350Gb  #@!$#@!@#!@#
    Thanks

    That are all good points - but Photos is a completely new application. and it is only version 1.
    Continue to use iPhoto, girraween; the next update to Photos will probably add a few more features.
    iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with MacOS X 10.10.3.
    The migration let iPhoto installed and also your iPhoto Library will still work with iPhoto.
    If you did not uninstall iPhoto, it will still be there in your Applications folder.  And if you had updated to the latest version iPhoto 9.6.1 before you upgraded to MacOS X 10.10.3,  you can simply drag iPhoto back to the Dock from your Applications folder and continue to use it. Double click iPhoto and confirm, that you want to open iPhoto and not Photos.   It is not compulsory to use Photos, while it it still the first release. When you launch iPhoto, you will see a warning, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated to Photos, but simply click the "Open iPhoto" button.The library will still work with iPhoto. ()see: If Photos won't open a library that you already migrated - Apple Support
    If your iPhoto version is not iPhoto 9.6.1, you need to update it.
    See this User Tip:
    Usually it will work to reinstall instead of updating:
    Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
    The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it.
    Meanwhile you may want to send a feature request to Apple using the feedback form. Apple - Photos - Feedback
    I hope, Apple will listen and add more features to Photos to make it usable for large Photo Libraries.

    Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
    Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

  • How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

    Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
    Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
    Thank you in advance for help and tips.

    AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

  • I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

    To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
    However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.
