Themes iphoto 11

I can't find themes in iphoto '11 (9.2.1). I've readed about delete the app and reinstall after deleting the "theme" folders in the user and hd folders but...isn't any other way to fix that?. I'm afraid about losing all my photos if i delete the iPhoto.....
Is any way to add themes to iphoto, so the "can't find any themes" error will be solved?
Thanks

You have a back up, right? So your photos are protected that way.
Re-installing should not affect your photos one bit.
But you have a back up, right?

A variation on a theme - iPhoto and modified photos

I want to ask a question that's been asked before, but with a twist: I just spent several hours editing photos I had imported into iPhoto. Photoshop Elements is set as my preferred editor in iPhoto. After editing each photo, I chose "Save for Web." I did not change the names, thinking that these were being saved in a different location than the originals. Now, when I go to find the edited photos, Spotlight does, in fact, show two versions of the edited photos, one under path Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library/modified/2009/eventname
The original is under path Users/myusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/eventname
I'd like to post some of the modified pics to a Website (not iWeb), but I can't get to them. I can find them and open them individually. Is this what I have to do? Open each modified pic individually and then save it to another location?

FWIW here are some tips on using PSE with iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

have lost the themes for iphoto 9.4.3 how to get them back other than fresh reinstall as I do not have the ilife disc

How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled or did you buy the iLife disk and lost it?

Very pleased w/ "Travel Theme" iPhoto Large Hardback Book

Yes, I am very pleased. Used iPhoto 5.0.4. Transmitted via a Disney (Orlando) Hotel ethernet at 3am. The connection was slow and I awoke to a dead battery...Yet very successful. No problems. Excellent quality of paper, printing, binding and packaging. Shipping was from California.
I had set DPI to 300 w/ prefsetter. I changed several fonts w/o problems.
I did not know about the potential page number option problem in the Travel Theme. (I did not even know there was an option.) I had several full bleeds. Again, no problems.
Maybe the bugs are out now. I hope no one hesitates to use the Travel theme.

Iphoto just lost my last import of pictures, how can i get them back?

Uploaded my pictures on iphoto, when I went to add location to them, iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card. Help how can I get them back.

iphoto crashed, and i had deleted them fr0m my scan disk card.
What happens now, when you open iPhoto? Are the photos not showing in the library or iPhoto still crashing?
What is your current iPhoto version?
If you imported the photos into iPhoto, but are no longer seeing them after the crash, try if rebuilding your iPhoto library will find the photos inside the library. Rebuilding might collect them in a "recovered" event.
To rebuild: That will depend on your iPhoto version - this article explains it for the older versions:

How to retrieve Facebook pictures when I deleted them from iPhoto?

Hi. I'm new to Mac and not very techy. Anyway, I synced my Facebook account to iPhoto and for some reason, I thought that iPhoto was just a back up of my facebook photos. I deleted the facebook pictures on iPhoto and now, I have lost all of my Facebook albums. Is there any way I can retrieve my Facebook Albums? They were 5 years worth of memories.

REstore you backujp of the iPhoto library form before you did this
and if you want photos only on Facebook then do not use iPhoto to upload them - iPhoto as documented does a two way sync with FB and any chnage made on FB or on iPhoto is syn=ced to the other platform

Iphoto keeps freezing up and events do not show photos, missing photos, constant crashes

I have a recurring issue that is causing major headaches. It involves iPhoto (9.4.3 the latest version currently) and I noticed that photos and videos I had imported seemed to be missing. I started looking deeper and there were photos and specifically videos that I just could not find. I had synced them from my iphone via a cable sync. What is odd is I found some of them in an event farther in on my events list but that is when more probalems started occuring. iPhoto froze up on me while I was working with the photos. Now when I open iPhoto I have 3 events that have photos and videos in them but the event do not have a visible photo, instead they show a grey icon with palm trees on it. If I go inside one of these events I initially see photos and videos that I took but if I try to work with them, view them, move them, or split them iPhoto becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit or wait for it to crash. This is frustrating because I can't really use iphoto lately it always seems to crash and I don't know all the causes for that. I also feel bummed because I don't know if these photos will be lost or if some of the other photos are lost. I don't know what to do. I tried verifying my disk and permissions with DU and fixed a few issues there but that did not do anything to reslove this issue.

For finding images be sure your sort is set correctly - view manu ==> sort events
For the crashes backup your iPhoto library, depress teh option and command keys, launch iPhoto an drebuild your database

IPhoto crashes every time I try to edit a photo.

I just added photos to my iPad from my camera and now when I try to edit them iPhoto crashes and the editing is lost. Any suggestions?

You. Ought try removing the recently uploaded photos then Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the iPhoto app until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
If iPhoto then works correctly try reloading the photos. If iPhoto again fails then I would bet there is a corrupt photo causing your problem. You'll have to go through a trial and error routine to find that photo.
Another thing to consider is how much free space you have on your iPad. If the photos you added filled up the iPad then many apps will have difficulty running in the low storage space environment.

Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
Are they there?

I can no longer print photos from iPhoto.

When I try to print photos from iPhoto, I get the error message: There were no themes located. Until at least one theme has been installed, this feature will be unavailable. The solution offered by iPhoto help is ridiculous as it assumes that you can get past the error message and on to the option to choose a theme. No so. The error message is the end of the road. This is a new problem for me. Apparently there was an automatic update and now I am updated to no longer being able to print my own photos. Apparently (according to traffic on Google) this is not a new issue, but I haven't seen a solution. Can't deny that I am royally ****** off.

when i try to print a photo: select>file>print a box comes up stating ' no available themes'

Can't import .jpg's from a CD into iPhoto 8

My friend asked me to help her create a slideshow out of 434 jpeg photos she gave me on a CD. When I try to import them, iPhoto 8 accepts only 88 of them. I get the following error message:
Unreadable Files 210
The following files could not be imported (they may be unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
They were taken by several different cameras but they are all .jpg files. I can view all of the photos on the CD in Finder. What could be the problem? Any ideas for a fix or workaround? Thanks so much ...

Caroline:
Try copying them to a folder on the desktop first and then upload from there. That may do it.

How Realistic is it to Use Aperture with a JPG Workflow instead of iPhoto?

Hi!
(for reference, I am not a world-class photographer jet-setting all over the world with hot shot clients. I'm a serious hobbyist, enthusiast, freelancer, whatever you wanna call it. I get paid for small headshot and portrait gigs here and there. I am serious about my work, though.) I've been trying to get Aperture for a while, but spent a lot of time developing my skill as a photographer.
I no longer depend on shooting RAW. Is it really necessary to use Aperture if you're in a JPG workflow?
I don't struggle with exposure issues, color casts, and stuff like that. I rely on keywording, organizing, web galleries, and exporting to different sizes. I do that heavily in iPhoto. I've only used the demo of APerture a while ago when I shot RAW and I loved it. But, again, is it worth it if I shoot JPG?
Please give some solid advice about the fitness of the app for working with JPGs as opposed to iPhoto. Thanks so much!!!

I think Aperture has lots of benefits for jpeg users, although I would aslo advocate forgetting jpeg, even in a controlled environment.
let's go for it:
1
Aperture is structured for large libraries. if you do not put more than say, 3 to 5 hundred pix per project, you can go far without feeling the "slowing down" feeling of iPhoto users with large (20 000+) photo libraries.
2
Editing is non destructive, and you get the sliders from the previous edits where you left them. iPhoto will create a "modified" picture with your setting, then forget the settings (you can ask iPhoto to keep the original and in that case iPhoto creates a new file on your hard drive, effectively doubling the HD space used, whereas Aperture still only stores the original on disk, and makes the adjustments 'on the fly' when you call up the picture)
3
Keywording is done using IPTC and other standards, and the software allows embedding the keywords in the jpeg files when exporting... rendering your rating and keywording much more universal
4
Aperture lets you manipulate RAW files and JPEG files alongside, the workflow is exactly the same. So if you feel like switching to RAW occasionnaly or later, more permanently, all the e-learning will be on the same software (iPhoto can convert RAW files, but is very clunky for that particular use)...

IPhoto to Aperture Library Transfer Oddity

Or maybe I should have just said iPhoto Library oddity, since Aperture seems fine, and in the end, seems to have done what it should have.
Let me explain:
A few weekends ago, I started to transfer my entire iPhoto library from iPhoto v7.x (current version) to my Aperture v2 library. I started my iPhoto library over three years ago, using iPhoto v5 and OS X 10.4, later upgrading to iPhoto v6 via iLife ’06 in mid 2006, and finally iPhoto v7 via iLife ’08 last Fall. I then upgraded to Leopard and Aperture v2 this past Spring.
After transferring some 46,000 photos (with most being RAW + Jpeg pairs) from iPhoto to Aperture, I noticed that a there were a large number (approximately 1,800) of stacked photos were one photo was an iPhoto Original RAW photo, and the other was an iPhoto Edited RAW photo. The curious thing is, I didn't edit all of those RAW files in iPhoto, I only edited a select few dozen of them. It should be noted that all of the edited and original Jpegs pairs were also stacked, and the orientation of all of them looked fine.
As it turned out, all of these mysteriously edited photos were shot as verticals, none were horizontals. And when looking at the unstacked pair, the edited photo was properly rotated, but the Original iPhoto RAW photo was not, despite having its orientation listed as portrait. When I rotated an Original iPhoto RAW photo to correct it, the orientation was changed to landscape, even though the photo was displayed in portrait mode.
Upon further digging, it seems that all of the vertical photos that were imported into iPhoto v5 were affected, as were some of the vertical photos that were imported by iPhoto 6, but none of the photos imported be iPhoto v7. I don't remember the exact dates that I imported them and when I upgraded iPhoto, but the timeline seems close.
I also noticed recently when using iPhoto that the info display panel listed some of the RAW photos as “Jpeg (From Nikon RAW)”. I have not spot checked these files yet, but I suspect that these are the photos that resulted the creation of the Original & Edited iPhoto stacked pair in Aperture.
I do realize that iPhoto converts RAW files to Jpegs if you edit them, and I would expect that it does not when you don’t edit them. However, it would appear that iPhoto v5 always did when it rotated them, iPhoto v6 did some times, and iPhoto v7 doesn't.
I’m puzzled as to how these RAW files got edited in the first place.
I can only guess that it happened as either:
1) The result rebuilding the cache at some point, or
2) Possible as a result of a conversion process for the iPhoto updates, or
3) How iPhoto handled RAW files, particularity with iPhoto v5.
But as to why these particular files were affected, and most of the vertical shots were OK, I don't know. Any Ideas?
As for the iPhoto edited RAW photos, I plan to delete them since there doesn't seem to be a point in keeping them, because I have the original RAW file, and the original and edited Jpeg versions. They were easy to find using keyword and Aperture excellent filtering tool.
Incidently, I've also had some problems with the "Black Frames" problem and also the "Unsupported File Format" error with photos that were directly imported into Aperture. I hope that my photos are not corrupted.
Other than that, I'm really liking Aperture2 a lot!

My iPhoto library shrunk drastically when I switched to Aperture, from around 13.8GB it dropped to 9GB. I was worried at first but everything appears to have showed up.
The only things that I can attribute it to is the fact that when an image is imported into iPhoto with auto rotate data, the image is duplicated before it is rotated in Aperture it is not.
iPhoto duplicates the image on virtually every modification.
My iPod photo cache was quite large as well, but Aperture does not import this.
Videos you may have in iPhoto will not be imported into Aperture.
I also get the feeling that preview and tumbnail data is more optimized in Aperture.
If you are unsure backup your iPhoto library to an external drive as a read-only disk image, then if you find any problems with your photos in Aperture you can go to the disk image and get them.

How to get rid of pix in my iphoto library that are not imported?

I needed to clear the memory card of my husband's camera recently, and didn't have the canon software installed on my computer. So I tried using iphoto, but it crashed because the movies are high resolution and I guess iPhoto couldn't handle it. I managed to get them transferred another way, but now every time I launch iPhoto I get a message telling me that there are images in my iPhoto library that are not imported, and asking if I want to import them. If I try to import them, iPhoto crashes again. If I say "cancel" I get the same message again next time. I tried going into the finder to get rid of them but don't know where they are. No matter what I try to throw away, I still get the same message. How to get rid of those photos?

and didn't have the canon software installed on my computer.
You could also have used Image Capture in your Applications Folder.
but it crashed because the movies are high resolution and I guess iPhoto couldn't handle it.
iPhoto managed high resolution just fine. Perhaps you don't have the correct codec.
To solve you more immediate problem: go to your Pictures Folder and there you'll see your iPhoto Library Folder. Open it and inside you'll see a folder called 'Importing' or something close to that. Drag it to the desktop. Restart iPhoto. Does that help?
