Updating from iPhoto does not happen automatically

The update just stops after 30 % and I get an error message.

This is from an iPhoto help file:
By default, iPhoto copies photos imported from your hard disk, leaving the originals in their original location and making duplicates for use in the iPhoto library.
However, if you already have an extensive collection of photos saved on your computer and you prefer to leave your photos in their current file structure, you can choose to have iPhoto point to your original photo files instead of copying them in iPhoto. Either way, you can still make full use of iPhoto.
To set advanced options for photos imported from your hard disk:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences
Click Advanced.
Select or deselect “Copy items to the iPhoto Library.”
Deselecting this option means that iPhoto will not duplicate photos when importing them into the application, but will leave them in their original files on your computer. When you edit these images in iPhoto, however, the edited versions will be saved in the iPhoto library, not your original files. Your original files remain untouched.
As you can see from the above, iPhoto offers an option to save disk space by not copying the files into the iPhoto Library. Also, when importing from a camera, iPhoto offers to delete the original file after importing it. However I do not see the solution you are looking for, which is to indicate where on your disk the original photo files came from if you have the default option on to simply copy the photos into your iPhoto Library.

In printing only a specific selected section, the top line or 2 of the printout is not printing. This only happened since the last update. It does not happen when I use internet explorer.

I read many financial documents during the day. I sometimes print only a selected segment of an article or a financial statement. When I print selected only, the top line or 2 lines is omitted from the print document. It does not happen in explorer.
I used Firefox for years, and this just started in the last 3 weeks or so. I can get around it by just selecting 2 lines above what I want to print. But, it is annoying.

* [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]
Check and tell if its working.

IPhoto does not open automatically – does not recognize iPhone or camera

How can I import my photos when connecting iPhone or camera?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.7.4, iPhoto '11 ………
thx.

Duh! Yes iTunes does talk to the iPhone. But it's primarily for syncing photos from iPhoto to the phone and not the other way.
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try communicating with the iPhone again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try repairing disk permisisons with Disk Utility and reboot your Mac. Lastly give Image Capture a try to see if you can manually download the photos to a folder on your Desktop and then import the folder into iPhoto.

Albums vs Folders from iPhoto does not show folders on Apple TV

Does anyone have a work around to assist organization of Albums on Apple TV into Folders from iPhoto. We have 12,000 images on iMac organized into 30 Folders within which are 80++ albums. When synced the Apple TV only displays albums, all Folders deleted. The consequence is having to scroll through the 80+ albums when seeking the one album you want to watch. This poor form of organization on Apple TV is really cumbersome and driving us nuts.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
The tv can use events as well as albums, although this doesn't resolve the OP's issue, which is simply one of a large number of photo albums. I have a lot of photo albums (without checking, I think I have around 250) and scrolling through them can be challenging.
What I do is to keep albums organised into groups such as 'Holidays', 'Weddings' etc and introduce a specific character at the start of the album title, which indicates which group the album belongs to.
For example ' ☼ Marmaris 2008 ' or ' ♡ Mark and Jasmine's Wedding 1969 '
It doesn't reduce the long list of albums on the tv, but it does help to keep themed albums together in the list and so makes finding the specific album you are looking for much easier.

Slideshow from iphoto does not show in firefox/safari (only mac mode)

hi there,
i have a problem:
i have created a website in iweb '08 and everything works fine, except the slideshow.
i have exported a slideshow from iphoto as a quicktime file. i have placed this slideshow in my website.
it is shown once only when opened in firefox or safari and then never again. if i change to windows, i have no
problem, it is shown in both firefox (for windows) and IE without any trouble.
does anyone know how i can fix this problem? and why is it mac related but works fine in windows?
i would be soo grateful for any suggestions!
thanks!

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

Desktop photo from iPhoto does not appear in iPhoto

MacBook Pro, approximately one year old, OS 10.8.5 and iPhoto '11
In System Preferences>Desktop and Screen Saver, I have the Desktop set to use iPhoto, changing randomly every 1 minute. Some photos it uses are not photos that appear anywhere in iPhoto. Today I saw one go by that I want to access and use for other purposes, but it's not in iPhoto! Could the Desktop rotation be accessing photos in some other form?

If your iPhoto library is offline, or you switched between iPhoto libraries, the System preferences will revert to using the system default photos instead.
All System default Desktop pictures are stored in the system library. Perhaps you can find the photos you are looking for in this folder:
/Library/Desktop Pictures/ (in Lion or later, if I remember correctly)
Open the "Library" folder at the top level of your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Desktop Pictures". Be careful, when you browse this folder. Don't change anything.

Loaded and uninstalled flah player many times. Cannot browse firefox to wherever fp is installed. Does not happen automatically?

Above should read flash player (adobe). On loading from downloads directory it asks me to close firefox. Says install is complete and Adobe checks it out OK. No way can I find the program to use it. Running XP SP3. Not on offer for association with .FLV files.

Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent. This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account. Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

You have to look at the email protocol being used. the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.

You're in the wrong forum. Post to iPhoto for iLife, not iPhoto for iOS.

How do I stop calendar from coming on automatically and overiding gmail so that I cannot access it. I can use windows explorer and this does not happen.

When I use firefox to access my gmail account, the calendar comes on by itself and I then cannot get to my emails. If I get the gmail account by windows explorer this does not happen. What can I do within firefox to stop this from happening. It just started this today.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

I had the Integrated Gmail 2.5.5 addon enabled.
After disabling the addon the problem is gone.
Hope it works to you guys.

Opening second tab, no address causes download speed to drop from 160 kbs to less than 5 kbs and sits there doing nothing, does not happen with IE, why is this

after firefox updated from 27 to 28, when i download a file, play music, watch a video, or run a speed test, normal speed is about 160 kb/s (dsl connection 1.3 Mb/s) - just opening another blank tab (not any address) or try to open another page like google search page, download speed drops to less than 5 kb/s - downloading stops, and second page does not open, why is this happening, it does not happen with internet explorer and the version of IE i have is out of date,
history/cookies all clear automatically when close, i have disabled all add on, run malware, adware searches - show no problem, norton antivirus is up to date, i have spent hours on phone with ATT isp and connection is showing no problem - if i run a speed test it shows good, if i try to run a speed test and open second tab - speed fails and speed test will not even finish, ATT suggested I try the same thing in IE and there is no problem - so it appears to be an issue with Firefox 28

What is the CPU load when this slowdown happens?
Are you using a specific driver in Windows to mange the internet connection that might not get enough processor time to run properly?
It is also possible that other (security) isn't able to do its work and takes additional CPU time.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
*http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem if starting Firefox in Safe Mode didn't help.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Iphoto does not allow me to update

Since installing Moutain Lion my iphoto does not allow me to update. It asks for it, but does not complete it. What should I do?

I have the same problem. I have iPhoto 9.1.5 running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I open iPhoto and select Check for Updates... It says iPhoto 9.4.2 is available so I push Launch Software Update and it launches the App Store but then it says No Update Available. This doesn't surprise me since I never bought through the App Store but instead installed from the iLife '11 install DVD. All of iLife updated fine until Apple started releasing automatic updates through the App Store ONLY. So I tried going on Apple Support and manually downloading the next available update (Tried 9.2.1 & 9.4.2), I launch the installer and it says iPhoto 9.1 or greater is required to install this update. I have 9.1.5 so I don't understand why it won't work. I even tried installing iPhoto 9.1 update and it says it requires iPhoto 9.0. I don't know what else to try except maybe calling Apple to see if they would give me a free download through the App Store (Highly unlikely). I refuse to purchase the whole suite AGAIN just because it won't update but I want my updates so I can use iCloud and Photo Stream. So frustrating. I have been dealing with this for a year and now I am finally deciding to speak up and get some help with this. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
