Using Image Shack with iPhoto '08

Hi, I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro (will be doing up-to-date; I was fully aware ) and I have a question about iPhoto '08. When I go to upload pictures to Image Shack I used to (iLife 2005) go to finder, then pictures, the iphoto library, then 2007, then to the file, select it, and upload. With '08 it is no more. I only have the option of selecting all 11 GB of iPhoto. Surely there must be a way other than searching the file name to find a photo in the finder!! (I was also wondering if there is a way to use iMovie HD with iLife '08. It is really a huge pain using the new iMovie).
Thanks a lot!!

See TD's treatis on file access. It describes several methods of accessing files for use outside of iPhoto. There's a 3rd party application,iMedia Browser, that interfaces with iPhoto, Aperture and any folder on the HD for viewing and selecting photos, i.e. Option-drag the photo to copy it to the the desktop.
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 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. 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.

IMac applications see my iPhone 5s but cannot display the photos. Last week I was using Image Capture with no problem.

I have an iMac 10.8.4 and an iPhone 5s. I recently downloaded 110 photos and 10 very short videos using Image Capture v.6.2. I plugged the phone into the iMac, all of the photos appeared in Image Capture, I selected all and sent them along to a folder on an external hd.
However, this week, attempting the same procedure, I get nothing. Image Capture sees my phone but does not display any photos, just a big blank window. Same response from iPhoto, Aperture, and Lightroom; they all recognize the phone but none of the photos appear. Insight would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hello WellShoot,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your Camera Roll using Image Capture. You have taken some really good steps already to troubleshoot this issue. The article below has a few additional troubleshooting steps you can take:

Using kodak C360 with Iphoto

Has anyone used the Kodak C360 with Iphoto? The camera is not on the "approved" apple list, but it seems some people in the discussions have still had luck with some cameras working.
Thanks

appledesire:
I don't think it will work with iPhoto even if you use a card reader since it uses the Smart Digital memory card. It seems that support of that card format has slipped based on all of the users reporting problems with cameras using that type of card.

Using Image Capture with Epson NX420 in 10.5.8

I have not gotten around to updating my computer to Snow Leopard. My computer usually have two users with fast user switch. Usually the other user tend to have Photoshop open, so I can't use Photoshop(stupid licensing issue even though it is on th SAME computer!) in my account when I need to scan something. So I use Image Capture. I just bought new printer, Epson NX420 using Wifi.
I can't seem to get Image Capture to use the scanner wirelessly unless I use Epson's own Scan softare. I am pretty partial to the Image Capture cuz it's alot faster.
Anyway, my point is is there a way that I can get Image Capture to work with the NX420 on 10.5.8 without spending more money?

I was having this same problem, too. My MacBook Pro w/ Lion could no longer communicate with my Epson Stylus NX420, which seemed to happen randomly as the printer was working fine before.
I finally searched for the solution and found it! After downloading and installing the latest drivers on my Mac, it is now able to communicate with the printer and prints just fine.
Hope this helps.

When trying to use iMessage Share with iPhoto i got this message "couldn't communicate with a helper application"

I was trying to use imessage to share a photo with iPhoto. I go the message "couldn't communicate with a helper application"
My iMessage works fine for everything else. I am currently running yosemite and every app has been updated.
I restarted the macbook pro and i didn't resolve the situation. Is anyone else having this issue?

Are you getting that message window after clicking on the "+" button to access your Contacts?
That's what happens to me. I know of now way to fix it.
My workaround is to create a new message in Messages and drag the photo from the iPhoto window into the message section of a new message and use the "+" button there to get the address to use

Why can't I use Snapfish anymore with iPhoto 08? I cannot see the library.

I recently upgraded to iPhoto (iLife 08) now when I try to upload pics to snapfish it cannot see the folder. I know it is there cause I see it in Finder. It shows all other folders but the iPhoto folder is invisible. Does anyone know a setting or a way that I can utilize photo developing other than the proprietary ones for Apple?
Please help. I feel like I've been swindled. (Seems Like something Microsoft would do)
Jeff

Jeff
You haven't been swindled, no one is forcing you to do anything.
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
It has never been the correct procedure to root through the iPhoto Library Folder - in fact on every version the documentation has expressly stated that you should never do so.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of these are faster and safer than rooting around in the iPhoto Library Folder
You might also check if Snapfish have updated their plug-in for iPhoto yet? If Snapfish haven't bothered to update their plug-in, you might want to check out many of the other services that have. Or are supported by an app like PictureSync. So, nothing proprietary there.

Are you using Image Browser with your Mac?

I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem. It seems that somehow Image Browser doesn't want to get alone with my iMac 10.4.11. I have called Apple tech support deleted, cookies, ran utility disk etc.
It it didn't help. Every time that I touch Image Browser just to expand the page, the wheel will turn, and turn, and forget it I'm trying to do anything with the thumbnails. And if I am trying to delete a thumbnail there is a delay factor.
On the other hand, I have no problem using DPP also from Canon but I prefer using I Browser or in conjunction with DPP.
Please let me know if you had this problem and how you fixed it

I like the Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder
I use it more with iMovie 06 (need for making DVDs) than with iMovie 09. Works with both using Firewire.
Why tape? It's cheap and convenient. Tape is patient. I can do it on my schedule. With a hard disk, it can get full at a time that is inconvenient to transfer but I need to do some more shooting. Then I would have to consider the dreaded DELETE of something I shot. With tape I can postphone transfering and editing for months without impairing my camera readiness. After I transfer, I still have the tape.

Anyone use Time Capsule with Iphoto or Itunes

If so any issues.
What is the overall consensus with Time Capsule...good bad.

I'm using a 1 TB Time Capsule to run my wireless network and for storage as well.
Honestly, it *****. I came on here to post about if anyone could help me and saw your post. For storage it's incredibly slow, especially with iPhoto, it's completely ridiculous. Other things aren't that bad, like documents and such things. I think it runs my wireless network pretty good, but iPhoto and iTunes not so much.
If there's anyone that has some ideas as to why it would run so slow or what the problem is that would be some greatly appreciated help. I thought TC was supposed to be this "all in one" deal...

Using remote storage with iPhoto and a laptop

Hi,
I'm considering moving my iPhoto library to a NAS hard disk. I am accessing this from a laptop and wanted to see if iPhoto can do this. What happens when I'm away from my home network and I open iPhoto which it won't have access to the remote disk? Will that cause any problems?
Thanks
Mike

Mike:
I don't know how well iPhoto will work with a NAS HD. The library works best on a Mac OS journaled formatted HD. There might be some problems.
As for opening iPhoto when you're away from the external HD iPhoto will offer to create a new library since it can't find the external. Will you be connecting wirelessly to the library? iPhoto has not been found to work well wirelessly. Any drop out during the session can cause the library's database file to be damaged. If that happens you can recover if you have a recent backup copy of the library's database file, Library6.iPhoto. The tip at the end of my signature will tell you how to backup it up easily and frequently.
Do a search in this forum for NAS or NAS hard drive to see other topics concerning this issue.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Advantages, pros and cons, using "Image Capture" versus iPhoto?

     Senior Citizen's first attempt to use mini SD Card (fr. cell phone) to transfer picts. to my Mac Mini, OS X Maverick 10.9. Plus, I just got my first digital camera.
     Ergo the Ques.: What are the Pros & Cons between these to apps.? Points of concern: 1.) Privacy: Don't want picts. accdentally uploaded anywhere in case I click the wrong button. 2.) Easist to learn, easiest to use, no graphic designer here, starting out with the basics- crop, sharpen, rotate -then on wards & upwards. 3.) Portability & end uses & users (viewers) compatibilities. Of great import of course export & import.
     Been with my cell phone carrier 15 yrs. on Nokias now I can get an iPhone. Lot of dificulties hooking Nokia to Mac, Isync no longer supported (blu tooth) connection, screwing up contacts etc. Can't hook up directly, lost cord. Some already transfered when everything was working; I believe that was back in OS X 10.8.4, not sure.
     None the less I want to start utilizing the One of these Apps on board. Know I have to learn them my self. Just another Late in Life learning prob., #%*)#!
     Kowledgeable input & pointers appreciated,
     Thank you,
     DPT

As thomas_r points out, Image Capture just transfers the photos from a Camera (or card) to your Mac into a folder somewhere on your Mac.
iPhoto provides all the organization, editing, and sharing features. iPhoto is easy to use, offering one-click editing for many of the common photo editing needs.
You generally won't be able to one-click and post them someplace you don't want. There will be at least one dialog box stopping to ask directions before it goes where you were trying to send it.
While it doesn't post them publicly (unless you go in and change settings), the iPhone has a capability to put all the pictures you've take into your iCloud account so they are immediately avaliable on other iCloud connected devices.
As stated, it doesn't put them in a public place, but it does move them onto Apple's servers. You can turn that feature off in the phone's settings.

Using Aperture along with iPhoto

Hey.
I use iPhoto for my image importing... basically everything..
I got my canon xsi and i like to edit some of my pictures more professionally
i have photoshop too.. and i failed to learn to use..
so i was thinking of getting Aperture, and use it only for images that i want to edit.. and stay using iphoto for everything else!
is this stupid? Is Aperture really an effective editing program?
Thanks

Hi Joe Shaheen;
Personally I think that Aperture is a very good way to process my photos. I find that I am able to process a shot in a much short period of time then with anything else I have used. I especially like it for processing my photos I take in RAW with my D300.

Using Photoshop CS with iPhoto 5

I recently added Photoshop CS to my PowerBook. Can I use this application to edit photos that are in iPhoto? I know it sounds like a basic question, but I don't know where to start. I tried to import a photo from iPhoto to Photoshop to no avail. Can Photoshop be used directly through iPhoto. Any direction would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi KLH1,
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop. If you want you can then import the photo on the desktop with the changed name into iPhoto by dragging it in the iPhoto library viewing window.

Using iMovie '11 with iPhoto '09

Now that you can buy iMovie '11 separately from the new App Store, is it safe to assume that it's perfectly compatible with versions of apps from earlier iLife suites - eg. iPhoto '09?

It works fine. I just downloaded iMovie 11 from the App Store, and made a couple of short movies/slideshows using iPhoto 09, the previous version. Everything seems to be ok.
The fact that I only had to pay $15 for iMovie alone was great.
If there weren't a rule against speculation, I would speculate on how low the price of other video/photo applications might go. I really advise folks to check out the App Store, there are some real deals there.

Using PSE 11 with iPhoto

A previous discussion recommended selecting "Save Over Current File" in PSE Preferences to save PSE edited photos to iPhoto; should I check "Save As to Original Folder," or not? I'm ending up with the original and the edited photo as two separate photos and would prefer to see only the edited photo with a "Revert to Original" option in iPhoto, rather than having to "hide" originals and look for them later.

Here's a video explaining how to use the adobe dng converter.

Using network drive with iPhoto and iMovie

I bought a QNAP TS 212 NAS Drive and have it successfully set up on my network. I can see the drive and access its content through finder on my iMac. It is even visible in iTunes and am able to play media stored in it. But am unable to view the attached NAS Drive in iPhoto or iMovie. How can I use this NAS drive for storage of pcitures and video using above softwares?

You would be able to store your original files on the NAS with your Library on the internal drive with Aperture.
Note that this means other devices accessing those files will see no edits, just the files as imported from camera.
also since you seem an expert on iPhoto, is there a way to change default storage set up. I want my pictures to be assorted and saved under "album names" rather than year, month and date.
No. If you use iPhoto then the files are never accessed via the Finder, but only through iPhoto. So, how they are stored on the HD is just back end management for iPhoto.
Is there a way to export all the pictures in various albums and have them arranged under separate folders with matching album names?
If you have the most recent iPhoto 11, then yes, it's an option in the export dialogue. If you don't then
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
I would caution you about both iPhoto and Aperture. Neither of these apps have any cross platform ability. Both use virtualisation for lossless processing. Simply, apps from other OSes will not make any sense of these apps. You would need to export everything from them to have edits available to other OSes.
