Unable to share from iphoto using Messages....

I have upgraded to Mavericks and have noticed that I can't share a photo directly from iphoto using Messages. Anyone else have this problem? I got an error message once that said something like "couldn't communicate with helper application". Usually when I try to share a photo I don't get an error message, nothing happens at all. Any help would be much appeciated.

I only started experiencing this problem (iPhoto Couldn't communicate with helper application) after upgrading to version 10.10 and haven't been able (yet) to find a solution or work-around to this issue. Anyone???

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

What are the different ways to back up your photos from iphoto using a MacBook Pro which does not have a disk drive?

Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

I sent e-mail photos from iPhoto using my @me account but I do not find the history of sent e-mails in my new iCloud account. Where can I find the history of sent e-mails?

Using iPhoto as the email client in iPhoto does not creatge a sent copy. iPhoto indicates in the Info drawer if a photo was emailed by iPhoto (under the Sharing section):
There's no easy way to search for photos that have been emailed. Each photo has to be inspected via the Info tray.
One could add a keyword to emailed photos which would let a smart album keep track of those photos.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client (in iPhoto's General preference pane) and use it. That will give you an sent copy, better access to your contacts and, if you want a theme, numerous photo themes under the Stationary section of Mail.

Unable to Print from iPhoto from MacBook

Trying to print from iPhoto using MacBook Intel. In version 5 there was a print button on the tool bar. In version 6 there is no print button on the tool bar and when I go to customize the tool bar, there is no printer option to choose. So from there I just went to FILE, PRINT. Nothing will print on a networked HP laser jet printer from iPhoto. If I drag the picture to the desktop, it is a JPEG and prints w/o any problems. However, I'm not able to crop the photo because it opens in Preview view. Has anyone had problems such as this printing directly from iPhoto itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How are you connected to the printer, wired or wireless?
They did away with the Print button but just type Command-P to bring it up. Try going into the Print Setup menu and selecting the printer before starting the print cycle. Try repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility.
You might try removing and then reinstalling the printer driver for the HP with Printer Setup Utility.
What version of iPhoto and the system are you running?
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.

How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?
See these articles for using terminal to move

Emailing from iPhoto using Mail & .Mac account in a foreign country

Hi all.
I love the OSX integration of being able to just select some photos in
iPhoto and click the email button. Opens up Mail program and sends away.
It makes it very easy and simple for someone like my girlfriend who would rather not think about where things are stored and how to attach them.
I even made her get a .Mac account to simply things even more!
Great.... but......
Off she goes with the iBook to Thailand to do her wholesale shopping.
With a new digital camera, iBook, .Mac account and iLife 6 all packed too.
(plus a quick lesson in using iWeb to get photos to a web page).
So now she takes some photos, loads them into iPhoto, edits, crops,
makes them look pretty. All in the comfort of her own room. Then off
to the Internet Cafe she goes, pays for a wireless hookup (the iBooks got airport). Goes to iPhoto, selects the photos, clicks email. Mail opens and a
new message with the photos already attached opens. After typing a message and sending the message......an error gets returned saying unable to send message do to SMTP outgoing server.
Having ran into this issue at home already, I followed instructions I found on the apple site regarding changing the mail setting account info SMTP server port number. Well that worked for home and after trying to get her to change it via the numerous numbers suggested from the Support pages on apple. Could not get her to be able to send an email (even when selecting .mac as the selected outgoing mail server).
Any suggestions on how to get this to work.
I just went into the new web .Mac mail and while you can attach files.
There is no way to use the iPhoto program to do this or to just be able to drag and drop from iPhoto to .Mac webmail.
Trying to show her the pathway to find her photos in the Pictures folder is not really an option.
thanks
Kerry

Hi Kerry
Some ISPs don't allow one to send email via another connection to prevent spammers using their servers for relaying junk.
I suggest that she use the webmail function of .Mac.
She could export the files to desktop, making sure that she adjusts the file size in the dialogue box so that the files are not too large, and then add to the email via the normal webmail interface.

Unable to export from iPhoto

I have tried to export individual photos and an album as a file(s) to my desktop and to smugmug via the iPhoto plugin without success. I have also put a new folder in Pictures and have tried to export the photos to it without success.
When exporting to desktop, the message comes up "Exporting...Unable to create /users/name/desktop."
When using the smugmug plugin, iPhoto "unexpectedly" shuts down!
I have tried to drag and drop photos from iPhoto without success of course.
I will appreciate your help and suggestions. This is the first time that I've had problems exporting from iPhoto.
Vernon

Well the reason you can’t export is because iPhoto can’t find the pictures.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Unable to export from iPhoto '09

When I try to export photos from iPhoto 09 I am getting an "unable to create" error message. What is going on?

Has it occurred to you that the reason you're having issues with iPhoto is because you're using Picasa on the same Library? You know it's not designed for that use and Picasa hacks the Library - something not supported - to try and use it.
This time: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File' - not Show Original... A Finder Window +should+ open with the file selected. Does it?

Photos from iPhoto used in iMovie

I previously posted this question in the iMovie community, but received no response. I'm hoping someone here will have some knowledge on my situation.
I have created 2 movies in iMovie that use some videos uploaded to iMovie and also some photos from iPhoto. I have since decided to move all of my photos to Adobe Lightroom. To do so, I have exported photos event by event from iPhoto to a new location, imported them into Lightroom, and then deleted the event from iPhoto. For those iPhoto events where I have used photos in iMovies, I have yet to delete the events from iPhoto. I assume that iMovie will be very confused about the location of the photos and will no longer be able to play the movie. Should I just keep these events in iPhoto in addition to having a copy of the photos in Lightroom? Can iMovie "see" photos in Lightroom, so I can create additional iMovies taking photos from Lightroom?
I have 2 goals here: 1) not break 2 existing iMovies that use photos from iPhoto, 2) be able to create new iMovies using video and also photos from Lightroom.
Is this possible?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

You can check easily if iMovie will continue to work with photos after you've deleted them from iPhoto - simply make a quick project in iMovie and then delete the photos from iPhoto. I do believe they will but not absolutely certain.
No I don't believe you can share photos from LR to iMovie like you can from iPhoto or Aperture because LR has no knowledge or way of working with the Media Browser system. You'll need to export from it to the Finder and from there to iMovie.

Forwarding pictures from Iphoto using Apple Mail

Ok maybe it's me. But when I sue iPhoto to send pictures by email I select the photos I want in iPhoto, click the "send by email" button and it opens Apple mail.
All that's cool. The problem is that it puts the pictures in the body of the email "which is ok some times" but most times I want to send them as an attachment, which they are not when they are in the body.
So what do I need to do?
KMW

I had this same problem. when i clicked the email button from iphoto, it made an email, but the pics were in the body and when i sent it to other people, they couldnt download them as attachments. i did some testing and i found out its really just when you use that email button in iphoto. in leopard, theyve added a real nice feature in that you get your ilife media browser when you go to attach something from the web (gmail, aol.com, etc.) and now in Mail itself, theres a photo browser button. using this and then picking the pictures from iphoto will send the pictures as attachments. its just that email button in iphoto that is screwy. according to an ilife page "A new email message opens, ready for you to address and type your text in. Your photo appears in the body of the message, or as an attachment, depending on the email program you’re using.". youd think apple would have made their own mail program do it as an attachment. i dont know, im using my aol account through mail, so maybe thats it. for now just start the email in mail.

HELP!! Solaris 10 - Mount NFSv4 Share from Linux using Kerberos Security

Greetings all, my apologies if this post is in the wrong place...
I have an issue getting Solaris 10 to mount an NFSv4 share from a SuSE Linux 10 machine using kerberos security.
I am able to mount the NFSv4 share from another SuSE 10 machine. The kerberos principal for that is nfs/host.domain and is working perfectly with the mount command of 'mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 host:/ /mnt'
My problem is that when I try to mount that same share on Solaris 10 using the command 'mount -F nfs -o sec=krb5 host:/ /mnt' I am getting nowhere fast. My kerberos principals for the Solaris machine are nfs/host.domain, host/host.domain, and root/host.domain. I have tried rebooting the Solaris 10 machine with a different keytab file in place each time (as I'm not sure which principal to make the keytab from for Solaris).
When I run the Solaris 10 mount command all it does is hang. I don't get any error message, etc. On the kerberos server I can see where the Solaris machine has communicated and appears to receive a ticket, and I can see that the NFS server was responding to the client's request, however the mount command just hangs.
Any ideas / suggestions? I really need someone to point me in the right direction!
Your help is very appreciated!

I had similar, not identical, issues with a custom JumpStart DVD I was creating. I was not using flar and it was for x86, not SPARC.
I found that changing the case for the value assigned to network_interface made a difference. In looking at the sysidcfg manpage and online JumpStart documentation, all the examples they used had capitalized "PRIMARY" and "NONE". When I changed the value to the capitalized equivelant, my particular issue had gone away.
You may also want to consider adding ip_address and default_route to the network_interface section. Test either way to identify the differing results.
In my particular scenereo, I did not want any networking configuration to be done. The resulting line in sysidcfg was:
network_interface=NONE {hostname=jsclient}HTH

Exporting photos from iPhoto - using in Word

I'm trying to build a Word document using some of the photos in iPhoto. Using the "Export" command in iPhoto and selecting jpg format I export the desired photo to a folder on the desktop. So far so good. Preview opens this file as does most other applications. But if I use the "Insert Picture from file" command in Word (or Excel for that matter) and navigate to the photo I just exported and select it, I get an error message that says
"This application cannot open this file. This file is an unsupported graphic format or may be damaged. Try opening the graphic in another application"
The rub is that I just tried this with one photo and it inserted fine! Now when I try it with the others I get the error message.
Is there a work around to this does anyone know?
MalcW

Sorry for delay in replying - I've been on travel. The only way I seem to be able to consistently paste pictures into Word is to use Photoshop Elements 3 to simply open the jpg file that has been exported from iPhoto to a folder and then save it again. Interestingly, when I do this the icon - previously only visible as a generic jpg icon becomes a "mini-photo" icon. That's the only difference I can see.
I have tried dragging the original iPhoto exported jpg from the folder on the desk top into Word but the photo usually just pops back again - i.e. it won't paste. (Except that about 1 in 10 photos WILL paste! - and there's no obvious difference in the files - all were taken by the same camera on the same card and imported into iPhoto at the same time! - weird!)
Photos that won't paste this way produce the same effect if I use the Insert Picture command from Word.
I haven't tried dragging direct from the iPhoto window because the files are too big - ~3MB a file. In using the Export command I resize the file down to around 50-100kb and paste that. Although having said that the quality seems a lot poorer than I'd imagine for even a 100kb jpg file. (the quality in iPhoto looks good - most photos are taken with a Nikon D70s SLR).
I agree Word is hopeless - even once I get the jpg files into Word they often seem to have a mind of their own as to where they want to go - and I've lost count of the number of "Unexpected quits"!
It does seem odd that this is inconsistent and maybe Word is at fault. I do wonder though whether iPhoto 4 is not consistent in the way that it exports images? Don't know - probably should have updated to iLife 5 - although maybe in a few hours iLife 6 will be available!

PSE 9 Organizer Unable to Import from iPhoto '11

When I try to import pictures from iPhoto '11 using the PSE 9 Organizer, I get the following message:
There is no media to import from iPhoto
I wonder if Adobe has not yet caught up with iPhoto '11 that came with recently introduced iLife '11. The iPhoto '09 catalog was converted in some way when I ran iPhoto '11 for the first time.
Anyone else having this problem or come up with a solution?

If you go to export in IPhoto 11, IPhoto 11 is not listed in applications while IPhoto 9 is listed but there is no way to export photos using this or items associated with it.
Don't understand this, or did you mean in the options for External Editor rather than Export? If so, there should be Other at the bottom of the window. Navigate to the actual PSE 9 editor application, which is the first of the two files in the PSE 9 folder that has a blue square for an icon. You want the square without the version number in the file name, and without the little curved black alias arrow on it.
If you mean you want to put the photos into the Organizer, you select the photos you want to export, go to File> Export, then put the exported photos where you want and use File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders in the Organizer.
