Transferring albums from iPhoto 08 to 11

Hello,
I have an iMac with iPhoto 08. I plan to get a new computer in the fall. But until then, I would like to finish a few family photo albums. I know I cannot send in the books to print on my iPhoto 08. Will the albums transfer to the 11 so I can print them?
Curiously,
Jen

Yes.
As always, before updating anything, back up first.

Aperture hangs when loading albums from iPhoto

Aperture was pre-installed at factory. First time I tried Aperture it hung when transferring albums from iPhoto. Had to force quit to get out. Didn't have to reboot, everything else works fine. Tried to re-install Aperture, didn't help. Any ideas?

Fixed problem by holding down option and command key when starting Aperture. Rebuilt data base of photos.

Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.

Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still in iPhoto - is there a way to get the metadata back?

Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still visible in iPhoto, but the albums are completely gone (another 10 albums are still visible). The missing albums are visible in iPhoto Library Manager (I downloaded the free version and when it loaded the library the missing albums were visible)
About 6 months ago 4 different albums disappeared and I assumed my kids had accidentally deleted them; however, they haven't been allowed to touch the computer since then, so I can't blame them this time! Last time I lost albums I spent hours re-creating them but I am hoping that there is an easier way of getting the metadata to function again - I know I could create a new library with iphoto Library Manager but I would have to buy the full version and can't afford to do that.
Not sure if it has anything to do with updating the application? (I updated recently and I'm not sure exactly when the albums disappeared.

Use the rebuild function in iPhoto Library Manager. That does not require a purchase. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You can't.
And advertising that you are breaking the rules with your account here in public just alerts Apple that they have a user who believes that the rules don't apply to them.

I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

Don't do that.
Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures. It took the entire iPhoto Library. Now I can't use it, and I cannot open it. How do I get it back to just iPhoto?

I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures, but the entire iPhoto Library moved.
I now cannot open iPhoto. How can I get it back?

A folder named Library popped up in Pictures. I didn't want the entire Library, just the one album.
When I open the Library Folder in Pictures, I get sub folders dated with years.
When I open the subfolders, I just keep getting more folders.
This looks like you were viewing your iPhoto Library; the contents of the Masters folder. Is your original iPhoto library still there?
Where do you keep your iPhoto library? In the default location in your "Pictures" folder?

Export an album from iPhoto to Aperture

When I tried to export an album from iPhoto the following notice appeared; "Unable to create/users/the house icon/Pictures. Any ideas? I appreciate all the help you can give me. Thank you.

You can get this message if your iPhoto Library is corrupted. Go through that Album and Select 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?

When I share an album from iPhoto on iCloud and invite friends, can those with a pc view them?

When I share an album from iPhoto on iCloud and invite friends, can those with a pc view them?

That depends, see this link: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
iCloud Photo Sharing adds new features to shared photo streams, including the ability to share videos and allow subscribers to contribute to your shared streams. These new features work with the following devices and software:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 7
Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later and either iPhoto 9.5 or Aperture 3.5
Apple TV with Apple TV software 6.0 or later
Windows PC using Windows 7 or later and iCloud Control Panel 3.1 or later
If you're using earlier versions of iOS, iCloud Control Panel, iPhoto, or Aperture, you can still create and view shared photo streams. Learn more.
If all fails, you can publish the shared photo stream as a webpage and mail the links to your friends with a PC.
Can I share with people who don't use iCloud?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings for your shared stream, your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser. Learn more about inviting people to view your shared photo streams.

How do you import selected albums from iphoto?

I'm new to Aperture, and want to start by importing only selected (ie my best) albums from iPhoto.
I've tried File > Import > Show iPhoto Browser, and can highlight the album I want to import. But then what do I do?

In my test, they came in managed. IMHO it's not a good idea to reference files inside the iPhoto library. I think it's a disaster waiting to happen.
