Using iPhoto to make books with NetBoot on an apple server in computer la

I teach an artist book course at NKU. We have an intel imac lab that serves up the software over a NetBoot system on the network from an xServe. We are using iPhoto to make our books. Our problem is that students cannot save their books to work on for more than one class period because they cannot write back to the server and each time the computer restarts, a pristine set of software is loaded onto each computer. I discovered there is no way to save a book. We can drag the library off and save it but we cannot do that with the book which makes is virtually impossible for my students to do their assignment. In iMovie, you can save your project onto an external drive. With Keynote, you can save your project onto an external drive, but with iPhoto, you cannot save your book onto an external drive to complete as time permits. Do you have any help for me?

Barbara:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What if the student has a USB flash drive with his library folder on it. Could he run that library with the iPhoto application that's on the server? Each student would have to import the photos from the main library to his flash library and run it from there. To get iPhoto to switch libraries you launch it with the Option key depressed and, when asked, navigate to the library you want to use and select it. As long as the libraries don't have many, many photos a 1 or 2 G flash drive would work. If a student had their own portable FW or USB hard drive they could use that also. Unfortunately that involves additional hardware. Might not be that big an issue for today's students as they are much more technologically advanced that we are in so many ways.
Not familiar with servers that's the only way I can think of for each student to have their own library, pictures and keep it for him/herself. Good luck.

Using iPhoto to make Slideshow with Stills and Movie Clips

Hello--Can someone give me some tips on making a DVD from a slideshow on iPhoto. The slideshow consists of still photos plus short video clips (7 -47 secs). I have already tried making a DVD but would like to know anything I may be doing incorrectly.
This is how I have done it so far:
1--Made an Album in iPhoto and put various still pictures and 3 or 4 short video clips in the Album.
2--Clicked on the + sign, bottom left, then clicked on 'Slideshow' then on 'Create'. Entered Theme/Music/Settings.
3--Clicked on 'SHARE'/Send to iDVD' at the top of the screen.
4--The slideshow was then Exported to iDVD.
I then proceeded to burn a DVD. It turned out fairly well, except I noticed during the video clips the audio in the clips was VERY slightly
over ridden by the music--not enough to be a problem. During the still shots the selected music would play.
Questions:
1--Please comment on the above procedure if you see anything I should be doing differently, ie is this the best way to mix
still pictures and videos?
2--Can this slideshow be uploaded to You tube or would you suggest a better way.
Thanks for any assistance or suggestions.

Thanks very much for your input Terence Devlin. I appreciate your comments that the system I'm using, which at the moment I am more familiar with, is at least workable. I have found working with iMovie more confusing, but will try looking for some good tutorials that may make it easier to work with.
I understand your comments on YT music useage and have been aware of that.
When you ask for 'a better way'... a better way to what?
I have found it difficult to upload the slideshow to You Tube. At one time for instance, the upload was going to take something like 6 hours! Obviously that was a 'bit' too long so I was hoping someone may be able to give some pointers on that, however I will try working on the iMovie system and see if I have better luck.
Again, thanks for your input. Cheers.

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)) I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

.Mac account needed to use iphoto's photo book service?

No
Just an Apple ID

I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

If it's an ibook then you can't - they can currently only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch (there isn't even a Mac or PC reader for them).

In the Windows world you can use RDP to remotely control a (Windows) server for administration purposes. You can also use RDP to connect to a Windows Terminal Server to run user applications on the server and multiple users can do this at the same time.
It is not possible to use RDP to remotely control a Mac server for administration purposes. You can however use Screen Sharing or VNC (if enabled) or install some other software like TImbuktu Pro to allow the same sort of thing. None of these use the RDP protocol. If your are a mainly or all Mac environment you would use Screen Sharing (Apple's custom version of VNC). You can get Windows versions of VNC and Timbuktu Pro which would therefore allow a Windows machine to remote control the Mac server.
It is however possible to buy and install a Mac Terminal server solution to allow multiple users to connect and run applications on the Mac server just like a Windows Terminal Server solution except as it is running on a Mac server it will allow running Mac applications rather than Windows applications. This is not for remote controlling the server. There are two such packages for the Mac these being AquaConnect and iRAPP. These can run their own proprietary protocol or they can also allow users to connect via the RDP protocol. This does therefore allow a Mac or Windows user to connect to the Mac Terminal Server and run Mac applications.

Using Illustrator WOW! Book with Newer Software

Has anyone used the Adobe Illustrator WOW! books with newer versions of Adobe Illustrator?

How to use two sets of books with one responsibility

Does anyone know if it is possible to run reports in the General Ledger business area of the Oracle EUL against two or more sets of books with the same responsibility? For example, I want a regional finance manager to be able to run a Discoverer GL report for both Bolivia and Peru using their South America GL Manager responsibility. It looks like you can do that for AR using HR security profiles but I'm not sure how to do it for GL. Thanks.
Greg

Hi,
There are two types of security: business areas security which allows a user to access the folders in a BA and is controlled through Discoverer; and data security which filters the data returned in the report. The data security is usually implemented as a condition in the views mapped in the EUL, though it can be implemented as mandatory conditions in the EUL. The data security is controlled by Application system profiles.
In your case you will have conditions in the database views which only returning data for the set of books defined in the profile for the current responsibility. To bypass this security so that a responsibility can report on multiple sets of books you need to create new folders in the EUL that map onto database view or tables that do not have the data security.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

Using iPhoto create a book. X-lg 100 pgs. Uploading for 4.5 hrs. Is this normal?

Using iPhoto 08 I created an extra large photo book. The upload process began around 5pm. It is now close to 10pm. Is this normal?

Uploading speed is based on your internet connection upload speed. Most all residential broadband accounts have a much slower upload speed then the download speed. Most of the time what you are uploading is a Request to either Download something or to Load a Web Page. Both take very little bandwidth. When you are uploading tons of photos, and depending on how large each photo file is ( The file Size), the upload can take several hours.
This is completely normal.

When trying to send photos using iphoto a window comes up and says that email server did'nt recognize user name /password ...what do i do to correct this please marie

hello when I try to send photos using the iphoto a window comes up to tell me that my email server didn't rercognize user name /password how do i correct this .. as i have cganged my email address but i can't get rid of the old one thank you marie

Hi Cody\'sgirl,
If you are having issues emailing photos directly from iPhoto, you may want to double check the email account information that is set in iPhoto. You may find the following article helpful (the section below is about setting up a new account, but it should be the same location to check existing account info):
To set up a Photo Mail account:
Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
Click Email, and then click Add.
Choose your email service provider.If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
Type the requested information.If you use the Mail application included with OS X, some account information might be filled in already. If you’re not sure what to type, contact your service provider.
You can set up more than one Photo Mail account by repeating these steps for each account. When you send an email, you can change the outgoing account by clicking the From pop-up menu and choosing an account.

Using PPC iBook as Client with OS X Snow Leopard Server

Hey, I am interested in purchasing a mac mini server edition as a home server for all of my family, and in addition to several intel macbook pros, we have a couple of Power PC macs.
Is it possible to use the power pc macs (all running 10.5 leopard) as clients for the server? I want to be able to make them sync home folders with a user on the server.

When you set up your Mini server, in Server Admin you go to the Open Directory service and then you can use the wizard to create an Open Directory Master (ODM). Once you have that setup you can then bind your clients using Directory Access in the Utilities folder (up to 10.5) 10.6 is located in /System/Library/CoreServices/ or through the Accounts pane in System Prefs under Login Options. You can then use that utility to "bind" to the ODM using the IP address of the ODM or the DNS name. If you are setting up a fake home network, you should setup DNS first on the Mini so you have a FQDN to resolve to for your clients. Then you can create users and groups in Workgroup Manager and assign the accounts to be Mobile users and have their settings sync'd to the servers home directory folders for your users. You will need to create a share on the server and then enable as a Share Point is Server Admin and then set it to Enable Automount. Then under the home directory tab in WGM you can set the user home dirs to be in the share you created.
So steps:
Update Server for all updates
Set up DNS
Create ODM
Create Share, set as automount
Create users in WGM, point to share for home dir
-Add users to group
-Set up Preferences for group and enable Mobile for sync services.
Bind clients to ODM
Login using mobile or network accounts, sync files and folders based on your prefs.
Hope this helps,
-JL

Can I use iPhoto to make videos for Web Page?

Hi,
I really don't know where to ask this question, so I'll give it a whirl here.
I now have Tiger and am thinking about getting Leopard. However,
I would like to know what I might have to do, or if it is possible, to
make a video using my iMac to record and then upload to a web page.
I may ask this elsewhere, but I also need some input on creating a
web page with an iMac. I used an old version of FrontPage to create
some websites, but now that I have an iMac not sure which way to
go.
I'll figure out where to ask my other related questions, LOL!
Thanks much,
Lee

A follow up question.
I guess I can record a video using the iSight camera and mic in my iMac?
In other words, I would use iSight with my iMovie application, correct?
So that brings up something else...
If I were to upgrade to Leopard, could I use iSight to record a video and use one of the backgrounds provided in Leopard to block out the normal background that might be seen through iSight? I guess I can do that with iChat in Leopard but I have no idea if that means I can create the video with that background.
And then, of course, I would like to create the video and post it online: that would be the ultimate goal. Or, I guess, even post it on YouTube if needed.
Thoughts or ideas?
Thanks again,
Lee

Iphoto 5-- Large Book with Miserable Printing!

I have ordered 4 large ibooks and have never before had any problems, until now. In the most recent book i ordered, the color is washed out terribly! Some of the images also appear very soft...does anyone know what went wrong? I would like to return the book and have it reprinted, but I don't know how to go about it. I really do not want to keep paying for badly printed books...any thoughts out there?

Hi Helen,
I just did a test run to see if I had the same problem as you, and I do.
I got an Automator Applescript error. I do remember seeing posts about some Automator actions/workflows being broken with 10.4.3 in the other forums.
Maybe you might find more info by going to one of those forums. I do think that this will have to be a bug fix.
Wish I could have been more help, but I think we are all in the same boat right now.
