Time to update from iPhoto

Just a minor anoyance which for which I'm hoping there is a quick fix.
When I put new photos into iPhoto on my iMac, it always seems to take a few days before they appear on the Apple TV.
They always do get there, but not till after everyone has lost the interest in seeing them on the big screen.
Is there a setting for how often the Apple TV checks for up dates that I may have wrong, is there a way of forcing an update, or could the problem lie in my iPhoto?
Thanks,
David.

  • HT4431 I'm updating from iPhoto 8.1.2 to 9.4.1 (Good luck!)

    I'm updating from iPhoto 8.1.2. I have 9.4.1 and the other intermediary updates. What I am missing is 9.0.1. It does not seem to exist, though APple points to it on this page. When you click on the link, it takes you to 9.1. What now?

    Gosh, Terence, if I knew that I needed to make a purchase, I'd not be posing a question here. I did already make a purchase, though it may not have been the correct one.
    Before you read on, by all means, let me know what I need to purchase. I say that because the rest of my post is partly a rant, though a reasoned one.
    So I've worked this issue both backwards and forwards. I bought the latest version of iPhoto, version 9.4.1. But when I booted it, i was told that I needed version 9.x.x. The older version kept asking for the next oldest version. OK. So I went the other way. I started with my own version: 8.1.2. I added updates 'til I arrived at this impasse: both the 8 series needed the very first 9 series and the oldest 9 series needed the very first 9 series. That version, acc to Apple, is called version 9.0.1. It doesn't exist on Apple's update/upload pages. I used Google to find a discussion of it. Great! Not only did I find a discussion, the writer was kind enough to hotlink "9.0.1" to the web page on which it, supposedly, was available. No such luck: Both times I tried, I got the same Apple page which did not offer 9.0.1, but only 9.1.
    The goal: use iPhoto and Preview to edit my RAW files. I have downloaded the (free) latest update to do so. Now all I have to do is to get iPhoto (and Preview) to work.
    If, when starting from 8.1.2, a purchase was needed, it sure would have been great had Apple made a note of it. If there was no way to get from 8.x.x to 9.x.x without a purchase, it sure would have been great had Apple made a note of it somewhere.

  • Updating from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08

    1. If I update from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08 am I going to lose all my Albums?
    2. When I export an album to a desktop file to burn it to a disk readable by TVs etc, the photos don't appear in the order that they are in the album. What have I done wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. If I update from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iLife 08 am I going to lose all my Albums?
    No. But always back up prior to an update. However your library will be fine and exactly as you expect.
    2. When I export an album to a desktop file to burn it to a disk readable by TVs etc, the photos don't appear in the order that they are in the album. What have I done wrong?
    How did you layout the album? Drag the pics into order, for instance? The Finder, which decides the order when you export works on a strictly alpha-numeric basis. The trick is to title the pics in iPhoto and use those titles as filenames on export. I iPhoto 08 this is done in the File -> Export dialogue. I'm not sure how this is done in v4.

    why do i have to pay every time i update from app store?

    If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

  • HT5037 Unable to initiate updater from iPhoto 7 to iPhoto '11.

    After downloading and installing the iPhoto Updater (to update from iPhoto 7.1), the system will not allow updating to the new iPhoto despite having upgrading to Mavericks and downloading iPhoto '11.
    I installed OS X Mavericks. Then I downloaded iPhoto '11. When trying to open iPhoto '11 I get a message "To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple."
    I go to the link, install the updater (the system confirms the updater was installed successfully), but now I am stuck...When I try to open iPhoto '11 again (NB: the old iPhoto icon is gone), I get the message "To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple." again...even though I just installed the updater.
    Any suggestions for troubleshooting?
    After speaking with Tech Support the updater can be found in the utilities folder.

    Does the contents of the disk look like this in the Finder?
    Click to view full size
    That's a disk created via the Share ➙ Burn menu in iPhoto.

  • Wrong capture time when importing from iPhoto to FCPX

    I am experiencing a strange problem when importing from iPhoto to FCPX. If I open the info panel in iPhoto I see the real date/time when the picture was taken, but if I import them to an event in FCPX using the PHotos Browser and I check the info it shows the time when the image was imported to IPhoto and everything gets messed up.
    I have search for somebody with same problem but I have not found anything so far.
    MY workaround is to import directy onto the timeline, but it is... well, a workaround.
    Thanks in advance

    Why is knowing that important during the edit?
    Yes, FCP only shows the date imported" date metadata.  Future updates of FCP X I assume will add more metadata support, such as Creation Date and Modification Date, since metadata is vital to FCP X and there are some metadata handling features that are on the way. 

  • Tip for Updating from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6

    A number of users have reported problems with updating iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 6. With that in mind I'd like to post these tips to help you achieve a smooth transition.
    1 - rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    2 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    3 - make a temporary backup copy of the iPhoto Library folder.
    4 - install iPhoto 6, update to the latest version with Software Updates.
    5 - download an manually run the iPhoto 6.0.5 updater (it will only run on iPhoto 6.0.4).
    6 - update Quicktime to 7.1.3 if you already haven't.
    7 - repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
    You are now ready to launch iPhoto 6 for the first time and update your library. Hopefully these pre-update "shenanigans" will help in a smooth transition. Good luck.

    No you do not need to worry about that but if want to be one hundred percent sure you should back it up with itunes that way you can be sure nothing will be lost ...
    Heres How to back up
    Connect your iOS device to a computer with the latest version of iTunes installed.
    Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
    Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
    From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
    Click the Back Up Now button.
    To verify that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. The name of the device will appear along with the date and time the backup was created.
    i hope this helped

  • Incorrect time on imports from iPhoto

    I am trying to understand Aperture before importing my iPhoto library with some 44,000 photos. In importing a few Events using Aperture's iPhoto Browser, all the photos show up with the wrong time, generally four hours before the time shown in iPhoto. This happens with images taken with three different cameras as well as for scanned images. I have read online that others have had this and similar problems. I have no preset modifications in the Aperture import dialogue.
    In looking at the images in Aperture's iPhoto Browser, the times given underneath each image are wrong - but within iPhoto they are correct. When I drag these images into Aperture from the iPhoto Browser, the times are wrong but keywords and ratings transfer correctly.
    According to Aperture's metadata, both the EXIF date and the IPTC date created are wrong. The dates are correct when viewed in the application EXIF viewer.
    When I drag the same images into Aperture directly from iPhoto, the times are correct - but the images do not have keywords or ratings. (Also, RAW images are dragged in as jpegs, which makes sense.)
    When I drag images from iPhoto onto the Desktop and then drag into Aperture, the times are okay but these also do not have keywords etc.
    The problem occurs for both referenced and managed images. Images buried within the Aperture application package show the correct time in EXIF viewer.
    Has anyone come up with a firm solution to this problem other than manually changing the times for every file?

    I've experienced something similar, but it is related to time zone changes (and how the systems handles it).
    In my case the picture was taken at e.g. 1am. in Las Vegas (Mountain daylight saving time). Back to Germany, time was 9am. Upon reimport of picture into a different catalog the metadata time was set back to 1am. Looking into it, if an exif time is written to a sidecar file, a correction for time zone is written as difference to the exif time (+-0h seems to be eastern US time...).
    So there seems to be an error in handling EXIF Times written to the database while changing time zones.
    System: WinXP, Minolta raw and xmp sidecar files.
    Sincerely

  • I updated from iPhoto 09 to 11 and lost pictures

    I also checked and can't find them in my pictures folder on my computer. Thanks for the help!

    Please explain more.
    Are all photos missing or only some?
    Are you seeing a completely empty iPhoto Library, or are some events showing?
    I also checked and can't find them in my pictures folder on my computer.
    Did you keep the iPhoto library in the default location in the Pictures folder?
    And how did you upgrade from iPhoto '09 to '11? Did you perhaps uninstall iPhoto '09 before updating? If yes, how?

  • Is it time to update from 3.x to 4.x iOS on my iPhone 3g?

    Still running version 3.1.2 (7D11) on my old iPhone 3g. When 4.x came out, i did not update and was glad I didn't becuse it was very slow on older 3g devices. Now lots of time has passed and I'm wondering if it is time to update? I've tried to install some new apps lately, and they were asking for a newer version of 3.x that is no longer available, so my only option is to bite the bullet and install the latest OS version.
    What do you all think?
    Thanks

    I'm pretty happy with 3.1.2. I would like to find a way to update to 3.1.3, so I can install some apps that ask for that version. I don't see a way to do that. The only option is to go to 4.x. But if it really messes up my phone, i don't want to do it, since I really don't get much from it. I am planning to get a new iPhone 5 when they come out, I don't want to get a 4 at this point. Eventually I'll pull out the SIM and give it to my 10 year old to use like an iPod Touch.
    If anyone else reading this has a 3g, let me know what your experiences are with 4.x
    Thanks

  • How do I update from iPhoto 7.1.5 to the newest version?

    I don't have much memory on my computer.  I have TONS of photos.  Many are large format and Photoshop files.  I'm trying to get all my photos saved onto iCloud and off my computer, however I need to update my outdated iphoto '08 to the latest version first. Help!

    I don't use iCloud so someone here may be able to help you regarding Cloud backups and space limitations. What is the total  GB that your photo collections take?
    However, it is very critical if you have precious data on your computer to have AT LEAST one external backup system. It could be a Time Machine or a regular and updated clone of your drive, and ideally both. I use a Time Machine and TWO clones.
    Also it might be a good idea to post the specs of your computer. If it dates back to 2008 then today's new hard drives are at least 4 times larger than those shipped then. I know because I started with a 250GB drive, upgraded to a 750GB drive and have just ordered a 1 TB drive this week! But the most important thing is to have a backup of all your data, and ideally a backup of your backup!

  • Hard time copying photos from iphoto to external hard drive

    Sorry this is so long, and perhaps unclear, but I would like to copy my photos from my iphoto library onto an external hard drive. The problem is that every time I try and copy the whole library, it finds a picture that crashes the whole effort. I then tried exporting Event by Event to the hard drive, and that worked for a while, but then after about 10 of them it stopped working: about 50 photos into each Event it tells me that it cannot create the volume on the hard drive. Do you think it's a problem with the hard drive?
    I have tens of thousands of photos, and this is taking forever, since every way I try to do it starts but never finishes, and I am never sure what actually has transfered.
    I also have opened the iphoto library and copied the originals, the modified, AND the data files, but that takes forever too, and I'm never sure if I really have everything. I'd like to copy event by event if possible... and I do not want my iPhoto library to live only on the hard drive, since I use it as a back up and not permanently attached. any ideas?
    Thanks so much!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The problem is that every time I try and copy the whole library, it finds a picture that crashes the whole effort.
    Why does the pic do this? Is it a corrupt file? Or is it a missing file?
    but then after about 10 of them it stopped working: about 50 photos into each Event it tells me that it cannot create the volume on the hard drive. Do you think it's a problem with the hard drive?
    No, that message usually means that iPhoto cannot find the actual photo being copied.
    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • Updating from iPhoto 4.0.3 to iPhoto 6

    I recently had a new hard drive installed in my 2005 iBook, and the HD came with iPhoto 4.0.3. I've just updated the OS to 10.4.9, and now I need to update iPhoto, so that I can access photos that I uploaded to my old HD, which had iPhoto 6.0. In order to do so I need interim updates (5.0, 6.0) to get to 6.6.
    None of these updates appears to be available on the downloads page. Is there somewhere else I can get them?

    Alan:
    Is there no third party application or freeware that can read 04 libraries?
    Yes, there is. One is iView MediaPro which you can run in demo mode for 30 days. See Tutorial #1 for directions to catalog your library folder with it. Another is QPict which can read the albums and rolls.
    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.
