Upon creating an ibook from iPhoto

I keep getting the statement that the ibook is incomplete because frames need pictures , but all frames are full ... I just want to finish the book

Then fill the frames - if you get that message you have one or more photos frames with no photo in them - often these are page backgrounds requiring a photo hidden behind photos - go through yoru book lookins at the page backgrounds if they are grey then they need a photo or need to be changed to a color
then
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Need help - creating QT movies from iPhoto slide shows

I am creating QT movies from slideshows in iPhoto. I then put the QT movies on a CD. I am having no trouble doing this, but if I give the CD to a Windows user, will she be able to view it? If not, is there any way to make it Windows compatible? Are there any other problems I should be aware of before I give these QT movies for Christmas gifts?

Any PC user that has QuickTime 5, or higher, installed will be able to view your iPhoto slide show movies on the CD.
You must use the Finder to guarantee a PC compatible CD, however.

Creating & printing calendar from iphoto

Hello,
I have create a calendar through Iphoto. Once finished, I sent it to Apple to be printed and its results is 100% ok.
But the design options are only the ones the software allows, and I need to do more modifications.
Then I printed to adobe pdf file, and I could do the modifications with photoshop for example.
Once everything is ready, and I get the finished calendar in a pdf file, I can NOT send it to apple to be printed because Iphone is not available to do so.
Then:
* Does anyone know any software where I could do this?
regards
david

You can't do what you want and have Apple print it. You might be able to find a local printer who could print and bind the pdf file of the calendar. Or look for an online source for custom calendars and see if they can do what you want, either print the pdf file or customize the calendar.

How can I create an iBook from a book created in iPhoto?

I've used iPhoto for a number of years to create some great photo books. It would seem to be a natural progression to convert these files into an iBook format (with or without using iBooks Author). I've got the most recent versions of these apps (iPhoto 9.6 and iBooks Author 2.2) running on my iMac under Yosemite (OS X 10.10.2). However, the two programs still seem to be totally unaware of each other. Is there something I'm missing, or some workaround to make this happen?

iBooks on the iPad or iPhone can read PDFs. As a first step, you can export your iPhoto books to a PDF version and read them on your mobile devices with iBooks. Create your PDF like described here: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture

Facebook created tags disappearing from iphoto synced albums

I uploaded an album to FB via iphoto09. FB friends added tags of themselves. many of the tags are to people Im not even direct friends with. Then days later I noticed all the FB tags are gone again! I re-added some. they disappeared again. Definitely NOT related to users untagging themselves, as i can re-add and it happened to photos of myself. I have added a photo to the album via iphoto, and i have updated the caption via facebook.com, but i wouldnt expectthose events to DELETE the tags created within facebook...but something of the sort must be happening....
WHY is that happening and how do i make it stop? if its "as designed" functionality...why? if not, can we get a response that its being fixed? or an explanation of how to ensure this wont happen again? wary of using the export if tags wont work, which is what makes photos on FB so social and useful, as its AWFUL to keep retagging friends pics, having them appear in their feed, doing it again etc...
any comment or workaround or explanation very much appreciated.

Remember that you are not just uploading to facebook, your synchronising with it, and this means that data in one side of this equation can be replaced or removed to make both sides of the equation the same.
You understand and agree that uploading your photos to a third party service requires compliance with the terms and conditions of that service. +At the time that you upload to or download photos from any such service, the iPhoto software will also synchronize your iPhoto tag information with the photo tags that you have on that service, which may result in a loss of photo tag information in iPhoto+.
That's from the End User Licence Agreement.

HT5071 How to create an iBook from an existing PDF

I just published a book, paperback. Can I now take it and make it into an iBook?
Will it need a new ISBN number and things like that?
Thanks Sarah

!.) Yes, it's your content to distribute thru other channels if you like. Opne the PDF, and then select/cloy and paste into the iBooks Author template of your choosing. Format and style accordingly, then submit to the store.
2.) An ISBN is optional.

I'm trying to create a PDF from iPhoto

I saved the files as JPG using the export function, and got them down to around 45 Kb each. I imported them into the library, selected them all, and checked the info; it showed a total of 1.3 MB. So I selected print, saved a PDF, and the result was 248... MB. What gives?

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

Importing photos from a PC and creating new library in iPhoto

I recently purchased a MacBook and I would like to transfer all of my photos from my external hard drive to the Mac. I had been using a PC prior to my MacBook purchase, so I am accustomed to organizing all of my pictures on my PC in one "My Pictures" folder with several subfolders within that large folder (e.g. "Landscape Photos," "Portraits," etc.):
1. How should I transfer my photos onto the Mac? Do I copy and paste them into the "Pictures" folder, and then import them into iPhoto? If so, won't that create duplicate copies on my hard drive?
2. I understand that going forward, when I upload pictures from my camera onto the computer (using iPhoto), the pictures will be uploaded into the "Original" folder, all lumped together with every picture that is uploaded. But for instance, if I upload a "landscape" photo, how do I put that in my "Landscape" folder, which is the same folder I was using to classify landscape pictures on my PC? Or does this "folder" classification now go away since iPhoto just organizes it?
3. I use Photoshop to edit certain pictures. If I revise a picture, in which folder am I supposed to save it? Does it become a file "Modified" folder? How would I access this photo to print out at an external photo lab?
I would definitely appreciate any insight from anyone....thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello and welcome to the discussions!
Many of you 'switchers' are having problems with how iPhoto works, and how it differs from other programs you are used to with PCs. Most of you do all of your organizing yourself, but with iPhoto, you can just concentrate on working with your photos and being creative, letting iPhoto worry about what photo is in which folder. Here is an explanation of how iPhoto works: Using iPhoto, from iPhoto Help
iPhoto is designed to let your do all your arranging/naming/organizing into albums from WITHIN iPhoto itself. You should not be tinkering around in any of your iPhotoLibrary Folders outside of iPhoto: Don't Tamper
Another good explanation of iPhoto and how it works is in this thread
And, here is a discussion thread on migrating from Picasa to iPhoto: iPhoto structure
Be sure to read Terence's excellent explanation.
Finally, for your questions:
(1)You should be able to get your photos into iPhoto by opening up iPhoto and dragging your photo folders into the main window of iPhoto. iPhoto will create a film roll for each folder. If the folder has subfolders, film rolls will be created for them also. By naming the folders when you import them, you will be able to keep the same organization in your film rolls. iPhoto automatically stores the photos in iPhotoLibrary folder in Pictures folder. You do not need to put them into Pictures yourself.
You need to learn about iPhoto's album system, where you create albums in the Source pane and selectively put your photos into them. These albums actually contain aliases of the photos, not the photos themselves, so a photo's alias can be placed into many albums, but the photo can be in only one film roll.
(2) If you don't want your photos downloaded from your camera in a lump sum, use ImageCapture (in Applications) to selectively download your photos into separate folders on your desktop, and then import each folder into iPhoto where each folder becomes a separate film roll. You can either keep the original downloaded photos on your computer, or you can delete the downloaded folders after you have imported the photos into iPhoto.
(3) You can set your 'Edit' preferences in iPhoto to open up PhotoShop for all editing, and you save the photo back to iPhoto afterwards. It will be in the same film roll.
Post back if you have more questions.

I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

I created an album in iPhoto and every time I click on slideshow it plays the pictures backwards from the order in the album. How do I change that?

When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually. Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

Have used large format, but using the 'burn' software, I am not getting seamless video quality on DVD even though I am burning at 2* speed. Any ideas? Do I need better software? Or is there a problem with the SuperDrive?

HT204364 I'm creating a 'book' from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version. However, I have selected a certain book i.e. wire bound, 19 page and when I'm creating it, it indicates 33 pages for one, and 42 pages for another. How can I

I'm creating a book from an album in iPhoto. I have downloaded the latest version of iPhoto. When I choose a book, i.e. wirebound, 19-20 page book, it shows a 42 page book when I am populating the pictures in the book I've selected. Is that because I have more pictures in the album?
In any case, I can't seem to manipulate/choose the number of pages I want. How can I stick with the 20 page book I want?
Thanks.

You can not select the "number of pages" - you select the photos and the page layours and the number of pages comes form that - with Autoflow iPhoto uses random page layouts so the number of pages is rando=m
You can change layouts to include more photos, move photos to the pages with no empty photos frames and then delete the pages at the end after the photos are used elsewhere
