Unable to synch iPhoto when photos are another user's

Hi
I've had Apple TV for a few months and am unable to figure out how to synch an iPhoto library to our Apple TV. The problem is that the pictures are contained in an iPhoto library from another user on the same computer - my wife has all our pictures on her side of our iMac and I am unable to select her iPhoto library (inside of iTunes on my side of the computer) to synch our pictures to Apple TV (her iPhoto library is grayed out when I navigate to the folder). I have checked all folder permissions and sharing and it seems to be ok for me to edit/view, any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

It's not designed to do that.
Only thing to do would be to either add the photos to your iPhoto library or set up your wife's iTunes as a Shared library for AppleTV and when her account is active you could then Stream photos but not sync them.

  • Syncing to iPhone 3GS - Freezes when Photos are synced, after 1st sync

    Using iTunes 9.1.1.12 and iPhone 3GS 3.1.3.
    When syncing, the sync freezes when Photos are included to be synced. It just hangs at the end of the sync process, and never completes.
    If I don't include the Photos to be synced, it syncs fine.
    If I then choose to re-sync the Photos and delete the folder: "iPod Photo Cache"... It re-syncs fine again (and places all photos on iPhone). But if I immediately sync again, without un-checking Photos to be synced, it hangs again at the end.
    Please help.

  • Unable to execute java api method with another user than OWF_MGR...

    Sorry if this question seems stupid but I just begin with oracle products... ;-)
    When i specify another user than the owf_mgr, as KWalker for instance, I get permission problems when I use Java API.
    But when I do the same via the web it is OK.
    Dis I miss a step in the installation?
    Thanks

    You need to give the execute grant on wf_engine object of owf_mgr to Kwalker.

  • How do I make a backup when there are 4 users on my mac

    How do I make a backup when there are 4 users on my mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have more than one user, the backup is just the same as if you have one user. All users are backed up and there isn't any difference between a backup made on a Mac with one user and on a Mac with multiple users. Then, if you want to restore that backup in the future, you will be able to select which users you want to restore

  • When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

    Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality.  What am I doing wrong?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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. .

  • Is there a virus scanner for iPhoto? Photos are superimposing on another?

    One particular photo keeps superimposing onto many other photos so when they are opened only a black square reveals or else a black square with an exclamation mark in it. How do I detect a virus and wipe it out? Maddie

    That's not a virus that's a damaged library database.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.

  • What is saved in the iPhoto library file when photos are backed up?

    I have been using an external hard drive to back up my Mac files. My Mac stopped working, so now I have a PC netbook. I am trying to get some photo files off my external hard drive, but I can't find the ones I want. Instead, I found the iPhoto library files. What is in those? How can I open them? If I open them on my friend's Mac, will it hurt her files?

    Assuming you had a managed Library the iPhoto Library will contain your photos, and many databse files.
    You photos are in the Originals folder.
    No, they won;t hurt your friend's Mac.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' to choose which Library to open.

  • I recently upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro - unable to open iPhoto and Photo Booth

    I recently upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (bought in 2011).  Since the Yosemite upgrade, I have been unable to open both iPhoto and Photo Booth at all.  I have lots of photos and need to access them. Both icons of iPhoto and Photo Booth have a circle with a bar across them, in my dock.
    When I click on iPhoto I get the message " In order to open “iPhoto”, you need to update to the latest version. The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. Download the latest version for free from the Mac App Store".  I have tried upgrading iPhoto on the App store but get an error message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store" .
    Since I cannot even view my photos, I cannot store them elsewhere.  Please, can someone help me resolve this problem!!!
    For Photo Booth, when I click on it, it says "You can’t use this version of the application “Photo Booth” with this version of OS X. You have Photo Booth 3.0.3" - gives me no option to upgrade at all.
    Would appreciate help for both iPhoto and Photo Booth issues described above, with iPhoto being the most pressing concern. Thank You.

    The new app is called Photos. It's icon was added to the Dock. Both, Photos and iPhoto, are located in your Applications folder.
    If you need to upgrade iPhoto, follow these instructions prepared by Barney-15E: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8431

  • Scrolling through photos, restarting iPhoto: "Hidden Photos" are unhidden!

    Hi,
    As you may know, iPhoto has this great feature where you can mouse over an Event to scroll through the photos in it. iPhoto also has another great feature - the possibility to hide photos!
    However, here's when they both went wrong: I had a few Hidden Photos in an event, yet when I moused over it - they showed up! Just makes them not so hidden...
    Also, when I last closed iPhoto, Hidden Photos were checked to show. As I opened iPhoto up again - they were still unhidden. It would be nice if they automatically hid themselves upon closing. Is there an Apple Script available for this?
    In the same scenario, I hid the photos manually. And as I opened up a photo in an event up full screen, and browsed through the event using the arrow keys - a hidden photo appeared! This, as I understand - is a bug. Where would I report this?
    I hope you can help!
    Thank you for your time,
    Rudi

    rudi_e:
    First delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Then rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    Happy Holidays
    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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. 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.

  • How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

    I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday.  My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac.  I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders.  However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized.  They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all. 
    So my questions are:
    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    2.  How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    Thanks!

    1.  How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
    If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream.  YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
    See this link:   iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
    How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
    On the same iPad?  Do you mean on the same mac?
    If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
    See this support document:  iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad?  Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .

  • I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iphoto" when photos come by email.

    I have a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I can no longer "save to iPhoto " when I get photos on email.

    What changed, before you could no longer save image attachments to iPhoto?
    Did you install new software or upgrade to newer versions?  Which version of iPhoto are you using?
    The "Save to iPhoto" feature has been missing for some iPhoto versions. I do not remember exactly when it vanished, but it is back with iPhoto 9,6 and MacOS X 10.10.2.
    As  a work-around - you can drag photo attacuments from your mail to the iPhoto icon in the Dock to save them to iPhoto.

  • Are previews deleted when photos are deleted?

    After being confused for a while (as I'm sure many are) about not being able to delete photos from my memory card from Lightroom, I am trying to get into a "correct" workflow which I believe involves formatting the card when I have saved and backed up the images on it. So far I've come to this:
    0) Start with an empty memory card and take photos with my camera
    1) Import all photos, selecting to create 1:1 previews
    2) Look through the imported photos, marking the ones I never want to look at again as Rejected
    3) Delete Rejected photos
    4) Backup everything that is left
    5) Format memory card
    This seems to work, but I just want to make sure that the 1:1 previews created during the import of the photos that I Reject are deleted at the same time as the Rejected photos are deleted, so that they are not part of the backup step. Is this the case?
    Also, are there any other problems with this workflow?
    Thanks,
    David

    Previews should not be in the same folder hierarchy as the actual images.
    With regards to rejecting photos, there are pros and cons to each approach. I just import everything.
    I don't know if previews are deleted immediately when the image is deleted, I don't worry about it, I have never had a need to see whether a particular preview exists in the preview cache, so actually I don't know the answer. Why does it matter? Is your disk so close to being full that you are worried about it? that's the only possible reason I can think of to worry about what exists and doesn't exist in the previews cache, and since Lightroom does a very good job of managing these preview files so the human user doesn't have to, I would recommend you not worry about it. There's enough to do managing your actual images so my advice is to not worry about what is and is not in the preview cache.

  • Exporting photos from iPhoto admins account to another users iphoto account

    Hi all
    Probably a silly question but I have just set up another family member with their own login on my mac and am wondering how to transfer/export pictures from my iPhoto folders to the other user login' iPhoto

    Enable iPhoto Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane. Pics can then be dragged from your Library in the iPhoto Window to theirs.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • GPS EXIF data removed when photos are synced to iPhone?

    I have manually added GPS EXIF metadata to photos that were taken by an old camera.
    After I synced these photos with iTunes for Win 11.3 to my iPhone all location data was gone.
    Is this a known issue?
    Your help is much appreciated!

    Nobody knows the answer? Yours was the third question like this I found by searching, yet none have been answered. I get the same results using Picasa. Once the photos are synced back to the iPhone, orientation is lost. Friends looking at the pictures on my iPhone have to keep rotating the device, cocking their head, or both. Some advanced device, that is!

  • How can I cope iPhotos from one to another user on the same mac

    How can I copy my iphotos from on user to another on the same mac?

    Depending on how many pictures you wish to share there are different options.
    1) Steps to share your whole iPhoto Library
    A) Share your photos
    Firstly setup a shared folder that the other user(s) will be able to access. This can be done in System Preferences, Sharing, then selecting the checkbox next to 'File Sharing'. You'll then want to select the folder to share and also the users who can access it.
    In your instance, I would suggest sharing the folder where your 'iPhoto Library' file resides, which is most likely going to be in the default 'Pictures' folder. The other user will then be able to access your 'iPhoto Library' in their iPhoto application under their user account and see all contents in your iPhoto library.
    B) Configure the other users iPhoto to access your shared iPhoto Library (or any library of your choice)
    Logout of your account and into the user who requires access to your iPhoto Library. Find the iPhoto application, press and hold the option/alt key and click to open the application. 'What photo library do you want iPhoto to use?' will appear in a window, click 'Choose', navigate to your preferred iPhoto Library and iPhoto will now load your pictures.
    2) Steps to share a few selected pictures
    You will follow the same steps as above in order to setup a shared pictures folder, however in your user account, drag and drop photos out of your iPhoto library into a shared folder which the other user can access.
    Notes:
    The method of sharing your whole iPhoto Library means that both users will be accessing/editing the same library. This means you will be able to see pictures imported/edited by each other. If this is undesired, you can create a copy of your iPhoto library on the 2nd user account instead of both accounts running the same library from a shared folder.
