Updates installed; now Screensaver won't use photos from Iphoto

After installing software updates today, I get this message "You cannot use the Iphoto screensaver with this version of Mac OS X. Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver."
The only screen saver I have is the one that came with Snow Leopard. Help!

I'm wondering if there's a bug that involves smart albums versus manually created albums.
In addition to using a smart album to find flagged photos from my entire library, I tried adding an item to the smart album that would also show all photos in the latest three Events.
In other words, an album for all flagged photos plus all new photos shot within the last three uploads to iPhoto.
However, the AppleTV screensaver never took any photos from the latest three Events. It just kept finding the same limited set of flagged photos.

Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5. Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application. Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel. I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
You need to do the following:
1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application.
2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

I can take video made in Photo Booth and use in my Smilebox greetings and I can use photos from iPhoto to use there also. I have not been able to figure out how to take clips from iMovie for that.

IMovie '09 Won't Load Photos from iPhoto

I recently upgraded to iLife '09 at work and at home. My iMac at wok does fine with the up grade but iMovie on my intel based MacBook Pro won't load photos from iPhoto. Anyone else have this problem or can suggest what my problem may be? My software is up to date and other programs are working OK.

Hello, i have also had the same issue. Basically when i click on the photo icon in imovie 09 the library doesn't show,it's just blank but also my itunes library isn't showing up either. The only way i can get photos and music into imovie is by dragging them into imovie but thats not the way the program is meant to work and would also like to fix this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed Lion-now my screensaver won't show photos from my iPhoto album?

After installing Lion (Mac OSX7.3) when I start the screensaver in System Prefs and select my iPhoto cache and any of the albums, all I get for a screensaver is "Flurry" when the screensaver starts. Why won't my photos display as a screensaver like they did in Snow Leopard? Is there a special trick to getting this to work? Also, when I try to disable the screensaver, like when I want to download and install apps that take a really long time to download, the MBP will go to sleep in 15 minutes, even though I have tried to set the sleep time to "Never". This is frustrating. Thanks in advance.....Rodney

Well, now I'll never know. In the end I had three drives that wouldn't mount properly. Wouldn't show up at all in disk utility, desktop, nothing. The first two were a brand new MyBook 3TB USB drive ("Sequoia") and a Lacie Rugged 500GB drive that I was just given by a client ("Drive 21") - probably not a very old drive either.
I had already done what you recommended, unplugging the G-Raid 2TB (very new) drive, another Lacie Rugged 500GB drive ("Susie", a couple years old), and a Lacie 1TB drive (18 months old or so). Then reset, plugged in Sequoia and Drive 21. Nothing. All sorts of other attempts. Nothing.
Then with everything above already plugged in and Sequoia and Drive 21 not showing up, I pulled Drive 21 and replace it with yet another Lacie Rugged 500TB drive ("Moe") the same age as Susie. Did not show up. Then I connected Drive 21 to my Powerbook and it worked fine. Plugged it back in my Mac Pro daisy chained to Moe and it showed up immediately.
Tried the same process with Sequoia, and no luck anywhere. Then just powered Sequoia down for a few minutes, plugged back into my Mac Pro and all is well in the world.
So I think there were two things going on. I think it was all caused by the Lion upgrade, and somehow connecting to my Powerbook helped with some sort of non-scientific reset. And with Sequoia I think being a USB drive needing a separate power source, it needed a bit of an extra minute or two.
Thanks for responding.

I move iphoto albums to backup, now, how do I delete photos from iphoto on my hd?

It looks to me like once I move an album to my ext hd that the photos are not removed from my iphoto on my internal hd? I want to free up space but only want to back up certain albums.

How are you moving them? Exporting does not remove material from iPhoto.
Why not have two Libraries, one on your internal drive, one on the external?
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Using photos from iphoto in adobe photoshop elements

I'm new to the mac world. I do a lot of casual digital photography. I like to edit pictures and create things in photoshop elements.
I'm trying to make sure I'm opening photos from the correct folder in the iphoto library.
I think either using photos in the modified or original photos is the proper way? Any input.
Also, can I create new folders within the iphoto library (finder side) to better organize my photos? I had pictures broken down by month on my pc and iphoto seems to only group by year. It makes locating the proper picture in photoshop elements easier if the pictures are broken down by month.
I know I can use folders and albums within iphoto, but those catagories don't show up when trying to open photos in elements.
Thanks for your input!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There ias a caveat to using PSE with iPhoto. It is: if you create a layered file or do edits that causes PSE to want to save as a .psd file you must either flatten the file and force PSE to save as a jpg or do a Save As to the Desktop and import the new file. Subsequent edits to that new psd file from within iPhoto like Terence pointed out can proceed normally.
Using 2 Image Editors in iPhoto
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and a 3rd party editor without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected the 3rd party editor as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". Then when you Control-click on an image, you can select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu to edit in your selected editor.
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.

I downloaded a Firefox security update and now Firefox won't open. From what I can understand my firewall is most likely blocking Firefox now as it doesn't trust it. I have NO idea what to do next, what firewall I am using or even how to find out. HELP!

I have a MAC. If you can help me please be detailed and patient... I don't know what I am doing!

I just changed to Mavericks and now can't e-mail photos from iPhoto

Trying to open attached photos brings a response of "the file could not be opened because it is empty".

How about some details - What version of iPhoto? What email client are you using?

Please explain. And how does opening attached photos relate to emailing photos?

Was working on building Power Point using photos from IPhoto

Also using Aperture to pull photos for presentation. Suddenly in Aperture, I lost my two most recently imported files and can't relocate. Please advise if you've had the problem. I've also discovered thatnow I'm not able to export ANY photos out of Aperture, but get the pop-up that says "Versions with Unavailable Masters Can't be Exported. Try Again". It makes no difference dates of projects/album. Pop-up occurs regardless. I'm absolutely frozen in Aperture and have lost the two most recent files. Please help, I've still got things to place in Power Point Slide Presentation. Thanks. BigDJimbo

Leonie; regarding the exporting, I'm confidant that I hit the right button to get from either Iphoto or Aperture 3 to my desktop in order to insert into the Power Point.
As far as relationship between IPhoto & Aperture, I merely had both on the laptop with the IPhoto storing the majority of my photos up until I made the commitment recently to use Aperture 3 exclusively so my more recent new photos were downloaded from my Nikon directly into Aperture before doing post production and then were stored in project files to access as needed at a later date.
On this particular project, I went straight to IPhoto when there was a file I needed, hit export and put them into Desktop where I would retrieve them as needed for insert into the Power Point. Likewise, photos that had been downloaded and postedAperture files were exported the same way.
One other thing that might shed some light on this entire mess is that on both of the lost projects, I had gone into them to extract select photos to share with family and friends after I'd done my post production work on them. These photos were then exported to Desktop and were later inserted into e-mails for sharing. The shared photos I've found in the Aperture Library, but the hundred or so other "unprocessed" photos in the same Aperture 3 project are no where to be found. Go figure.
Thanks again Leonie for your input in solving this mystery.

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.
Regards
TD

After upgrading my OS from Snowleopard to Yosemite, I can no longer upload photos from iPhoto to Facebook.

I recently upgraded OS from Snowleopard to Yosemite and now I can't upload photos from iPhoto (v 9.6) to Facebook. Is Yosemite 10.10.1 keeping me from uploading to Facebook?

What happens when you try?
