Titles and Comments

Can Titles and Comments go with the photo from iPhoto when the photo is moved to another Library, put on a CD or DVD, emailed or used in Pages?

Johin:
To add to Smtr's answer, all metadata added to a photo in iPhoto stays in iPhoto (sort of like Las Vegas). Using iPLM you can transfer that data between libraries. But for any use outside of iPhoto the metadata won't be available.
There's one way to write comments and keywords to the original files on a one time (or 30 day) basis. That's by using Cocktail (not called Expressions Media) to catalog and then write that data back to the files. Check out Tutorial #1 on how to do it.
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.

IDVD problem with "Show title and comments"

I am making a DVD for a neighbor. He has given me CDs with scanned old slides. He has over 1000 photos.
I've got the DVD made in iDVD and everything is fine except in one of the slideshows.
In iPhoto I have 22 albums of photos. When I'm in iDVD I go to "media" and I drag an album into the theme. After it is there I drag another album into that album I just drug. So what I'm doing is combining 2 albums into one slideshow thus having 11 slideshows in my theme. I then go into each slideshow while in iDVD and add music and go to "settings" and unclick "Show title and comments".
After I have completed this for all slideshows I watch each slideshow before burning and everything looks fine. After the DVD burns (which takes 5 hours) I again watch the DVD on my television. In the first slideshow, and only the first slideshow, the first half is fine and then when it comes to the pictures that were in the second iPhoto album that I drug in the titles of each photo are coming up on the screen. All of the other 10 slideshows that I combined are just fine.
I pitched the first DVD and tried to fix this by going into iPhoto and making a separate album that had all the pictures of thos first two initial albums. I then went into iDVD, deleted that problem slideshow and then added the slideshow that I had combined all the photos into that one album. I again make adjustment adding music and going into "settings" and unclick "Show title and comments". I watch the slideshow while in iDVD and everything looks fine.
I burn another DVD and when I watch it on my television again that first slideshow has the first half of the pictures just fine and then the second half are showing the titles of each photo on the screen.
Everything else in the DVD looks fine.
The only other thing that might be of importance is when the DVD is ejected from the burner the screen says:
"Current Operation"
"Image Incomplete"
I click Cancel and then it says:
"Cleaning Up"
"Image Incomplete"
I again click Cancel.
At this point iDVD freezes and I have to go up under the Apple symbol and do a Force Quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I should try to make 2 DVDs out of all these photos instead of 1 but my neighbor was really hoping he could have all of them on 1.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Just drag them from the iPhoto Trash bin onto the Library icon just above it.

IPhoto "titles" and "comments"

Hey,
I am making a slideshow in iDVD with a lot of pictures that im importing from iPhoto. My problem is that the names of the pictures (when I show "titles and comments") are too large and cover important parts of the image. I also noticed that the "comments" was smaller than the "titles". So is there a way for Automater to replace all the "comment" sections with what is in the "title" section for all my pictures in iPhoto? I have never used Automater so any help would be great.

Create a workflow with a "Run AppleScript" action and replace the (* Your script goes here *) with the following AppleScript. The easiest way to do that is to click on the link, which will open AppleScript Script Editor, and then copy and paste it into the "Run AppleScript" action.
For this action to work properly you must make sure that before you run the Automator action only the album of interest is selected and not a photo in that album.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "iPhoto"

Printing iPhoto 5 titles and comments?

I am using iphoto 5.0.4. I want to print a list of the titles and comments for a selected group of pictures. Can I do this?
Thanks

iphoto used is 6.0.6 (322)
This is the forum for iPhoto 7 (or iPhoto '08). Overall, it is best to post in the appropriate forum, as the various versions do have their differences. That said, there are a few things that can be addressed here.
I Don't know if this is a 10.4.11 or 10.4.4 problem.
I would take a shot and say that this is an iPhoto problem that exists on the computer that is running 10.4.4. To deal with the iPhoto issue, give this basic remedy a try. Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
If that doesn't help, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
Also, it is a good idea to update your system software in this computer to 10.4.11.

Copying photos to cd and still having my title and comments

I am a new i photo user. I am very anal about tagging each photo as to who and where. I used a microsoft product that let me place it directly into the photo. I realize this can not be done in i photo. Which is a shame. But my questions are these. I made albums from my library and changed all of the titles and comments to who and where.
1. If I write a cd using the i photo format will my albums be as I made them tagged with all of my info and in that order ?
2. If I write a cd using the format for viewing on a pc will all my info be there too.
( I did write using this format already and there is no rhyme or reason to there order. )
3. Is there a program that I can put words on the photo that does not cost a fortune and is easy to use.
I guess I worry about not being able to view them someday and want them backed up both ways.
Thanks for your help.

1. If I write a cd using the i photo format will my albums be as I made them tagged with all of my info and in that order ?
Using 'Share -> Burn, yes you will get the Albums and tags etc when viewed in iPhoto. That is, insert the disk to a Mac and iPhoto will open and the disk will appear in the Source Pne.
2. If I write a cd using the format for viewing on a pc will all my info be there too.
No. If you use the File -> Export command you can use your titles as filenames, or one of the other naming schemes. Then complete the export to a folder on the desktop and burn that with the Finder. Result: A disk with a folder of images that any machine can understand.
( I did write using this format already and there is no rhyme or reason to there order. )
Alphanumeric is the usual way things are burned in the Finder.
3. Is there a program that I can put words on the photo that does not cost a fortune and is easy to use.
Some possibilities from free on up:
Seashore
Acorn
Graphic Coverter
Photoshop Elements
Some comments:
If you upgrade to iPhoto 7 (part of iLife 08) you have the option to write your titles and keywords to the files on Export. This, along with non-destructive editing, makes it worth the price of the upgrade, for my money.
No matter what, even if you put a CD burned using the Share -> Burn into a PC you will be able to find the files: there're in iPhoto Library Folder / Originals

Print & Preview of iBook does not show titles and comments.

iphoto used is 6.0.6 (322) I Don't know if this is a 10.4.11 or 10.4.4 problem.
problem: iBook prints contain pictures but not title or comments using Epson C60 or HP 1530 printers. Titles and comments are not visible in "preview" but picture is ok. Mac used is an intel Core Duo with system 10.4.4.
However, prints are ok, i.e., have title, comment, picture using the same HP 1530 or an Epson Stylus Photo 1250 on a Pwr PC G4 with system 10.4.11.
The Intel is the preferred unit.
Thanks, CB

Keywords, Titles, and Comments don't travel - Sharing Pics with my PC

What gives with iPhoto. Love it. Problem though. All the work I've put into adding key words, titles, and comments are only good in iPhoto.
Why is this? Wouldn't those things be considered metadata and be stored in the file and then travel with that file?
So... here's the kicker. If iPhoto doesn't do this - I probably need to switch programs. My house and family and work are all PC environments. We all swap photos pretty regularly.
I look like I suck if my photos are all titled DSC-09874. This especially ***** if I know I've spent hours upon hours applying tagging pics with keywords and comments - only to find out I'm the only person to ever see them.
I need some direction here from some iphoto gurus. What should I do?

There is a program that will do it but it's a bit expensive for just that feature, iView MediaPro. However, you can use it is its 21 day demo mode do write the keywords and comments of the photos you have today back to the original files (not the modified but the original). Tutorial #1 describes how to do that.
I suggest you post that as a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more requests for that the better.

IDVD 6 Slideshow - Titles and comments only show in transition?

I have undertaken archiving my photos onto DVDs (putting the actual photos in the DVD-ROM contents and having a set-top playable slideshow as well)
On my test case, I have included four versions of the slideshow.
Looping
Manual
Looping with titles/comments
Manual with titles/comments
The disc works fine, except for the titles/comments.
On the manual progression with titles/comments, they simply don't appear.
On the looping version, they only appear during the transition between images.
Anyone else experiencing this problem, or know of a solution?

Preserving edited titles, dates and comments

Via batch changes and individual editing, I managed to organize all of my photos chronologically on my Macbook - to the best of my knowledge. However, when I try to import them to my iMac, all the edited data is lost and it reverts to either the current date of import or the old incorrect data. Is there software or a technique that will help me preserve my edited dates, titles and comments during import or export?

I have a couple of questions:
1) the edited dates, titles and comments are not remaining intact during the import, even with iPhoto Library manager. I only imported the "Modified" pics and received duplicates of every one.
2) During a ProCare one on one training, I was told not to mess with the "Originals" folder, so I didn't import it. What will happen if I do?
By the way, I put iPhoto Library Manager on my Macbook and my iMac. Is there a way to merge the libraries together and preserve the corrected dates, titles and comments? I may need a play-by-play on this.

Title and Caption

I have crated a slideshow of still photos and included a title for each image.
The title appears in a box that goes on top of the image.
Why does it do this when there is plenty of blank space on either side of the image?
Is it possible to change where the title of an image appears on the screen?

Is it possible to change where the title of an image appears on the screen?
It is in DVDSP. But I'm not sure how to do this in iDVD yet (nor if it's even possible). I'll keep looking though and post back should I find something else.
Btw ... You can't change the style or size of text for titles and comments in an iDVD slideshow. But you can in DVDSP.
A less expensive option to DVDSP might be 3rd party apps like:

Web galleries, albums, titles and ratings vanishing. Database corruption?

Hello!
I'm using iPhoto '08, as included with my MBP. The library was originally used with iLife '06, and before that, iLife '05. It's around 11 GB, with about 6400 pics and videos, and I have about half a dozen web galleries and about two dozen albums.
I usually don't give titles to photos individually, but rather the roll/event when imported. The photos I put in an album or upload to my Web Gallery, however, I give a more detailed title and comments.
Last night, I went though my photos, organizing my library and deleting many of the bad-pics I took yesterday. I created three web galleries, each with about 50 photos with custom titles. Today, all three galleries are missing from iPhoto (they did publish without difficulty, however), those that are there are missing photos, and about half of the titles are missing! Many ratings have disappeared too.
What's going on? I'm noticing it clearly with the web galleries, but that's probably because that was what I spent the most time on - titles are missing all over the place. Is it a corrupted library database? If so, how do I fix this - and can I do so and keep my albums, galleries, and titles?
Thanks,
-Dan

Start with a rebuild:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

How do I link Photo Title and Photo Caption in iPhoto Book

When using the yearbook template in iPhoto I have found that the Title is not linked to the photo Captions are linked most of the time, so if I move a photo I have to reset all the titles. How can I link them?

hi Jim,
Are the titles that are not moving ones that you gave the photos while you were in the book mode?
I was just wondering if you gave the titles to the photos in the library view if it would work differently.
Ok, I just tested it. Before you make the book, give all the photos the correct titles and comments if any. Now highlight that album and choose to create a book. The titles and comments will move with the images this way.
I also tested an image that was already placed in the book and it had a title that it was imported as. I changed the title in the library view, went back to the book and moved the photo. The title that I just gave it in the library view moved with the photo.

Is there a script that would allow unique disc names on double albums? (I don't want to put them in the album title or comments.)

I have iTunes 11.2.2, and I've recently made use of iTunes' "disc x of y" feature, instead of entering the disc number in the album title like I used to. I made this change because putting disc numbers in the album-title field makes the two discs appear as two separate albums, with the artwork appearing twice, which I didn't want. The downside of using the "disc x of y" feature, however, is that for double albums where the two discs have unique titles, rather than the default "disc one" and "disc two" -- say, for example, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' album Stadium Arcadium, where the discs are called "Jupiter" and "Mars" -- there is no way to label the disks with their unique titles and still keep them within one album entry. I don't want to put these titles in as a comment or anything like that either. What I'm really wondering is whether it is possible to write a script that would allow me to change where it reads "disc 1" to a unique title, at least within the album section of iTunes.

Certain tags are limited as to format. I am pretty sure the disc number field only allows numeric entries. You can send feedback to Apple suggesting changes in iTunes but since this is a somewhat unusual feature I doubt it will be high priority.
