Using iPhoto with Entourage

I'm sure this sounds so simple but how do I attach a number of photos from iphoto to send in an email using entourage?
I can email a single photo out of iphoto using entourage but I can't figure out how to include more than one in an email.
I sure would appreciate advice.
Thanks
Deb

Hey there. When you choose the photos for output to your email program there is a dialog window that asks you about what size you want to export the files. There are two checkboxes. One is to include the title, and the other is to include the comments. It will incorporate these in the message body. If you export to Apple's Mail client, these titles and comments appear above each photo. Unfortunately it does not appear that Entourage formats the outgoing message in this manner. HOWEVER the actual title and comments will appear in your note body. Unfortunately, the title you assign is NOT the same as the filename, which is what you see in the attachments.

Can i use iPhoto with my ipad2?

Is it possible to use iPhoto with an ipad2

The iPhoto app for iPad is now available. You must have iOS 5.1 installed and iPhoto will run on an iPad 2 and the new iPad. If a search in the app store does not find iPhoto yet go to the Apple Store website here:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/from-the-app-store/apps-by-apple/iphoto.html
Scroll down to near the bottom to find a link for the iPhoto app for iPad.

How to use iPhoto with 1 photo library and 2 user accounts on 1 iMac ?

Title says it all.
I don't want to have a double picture library, it takes enough space from my harddisk already.
My wife and I share the same camera too. We want to see the same pictures when using iPhoto.
Possible solution: Do I have to make a softlink from 1 user account to the photo lib that belongs to the other account ? [in Terminal: ln /Users/.... etc.)
(Yes, I'm an ex-Linux user)
Thnx
Fred4711

If you want to have the same data, do you need separate accounts? A surprising number of people think that must have separate ccounts and they really don't need to.
Anyway:
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Using iphoto with iphoto library on external hard drive

My Imac is running snow leopard with ilife '11. I have imported way too many photos into Iphoto which is really slowing it down. I'd like to put all of my photos on an external hard drive and use that as my iphoto library--which should be possible, as I gather from reading various other related posts. Another reason to put it on an external drive is so that I can use my new macbook air to edit/organize while on the go.
1. How do I set up my Iphoto library on an external hard drive?
2. How do I make sure that all future photos go to the library on that external hard drive?
3. How do I run Iphoto with the library on an external hard drive?
THANK YOU for your help!

Hello. I just transferred my iPhoto library to a Western Digital My Book for Mac external hard drive. Do you know if I needed to format this drive even though it says it's for Mac. I did not format it and there were not any instructions with the drive that said I needed to do it. The transfer seems to have worked ok but my backups from Time Machine onto Time Capsule are inconsistent. I already posed a question regarding this problem but I noticed this message regarding formating the external disk and I wonder if that is causing the problem. Thanks.

Using iPhoto with batch Photoshop Plug In?

I have a noise reduction plugin which I can batch process with PS elements, but using iPhoto, can I do that with the folder of pictures within the iPhoto library (after they've been imported)? Or, is that super dangerous to monkey with the files outside of iPhoto, so I should have done it before I imported them. If I'm applying to all the photos, it's too time consuming to click through everyone and do edit, apply the plug in, save.
Thanks for your help -

Just a suggestion on the workflow. Doing what you suggest will give you the opportunity of rotating any portrait oriented photos you take so that when imported iPhoto doesn't have to create a rotated modified version of it. This happens with photos that come from cameras with the auto rotate feature. Turn it off and rotate them while on the desktop.
As far as uploading to the desktop I prefer using a card reader. It gives you more control and less wear and tear on the cameras ports and battery. *And it's a much faster transfer coming from a card reader.*
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.

How can I use iPhoto with Drobo? Library not copying...

I know from searching this forum that Drobo wasn't suitable for use as a host of the iPhoto Library in the past - but now that Drobo can be formatted as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive, I thought the problem was solved.
However, I can't get my Library to copy over successfully from the external drive I've been using up to now, I get the following error:
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
This is confirmed by the fact that the copied library is much smaller than the original: The original is 94.88gb, and the copied file is 55.57gb.
When I open the new library, no thumbnails are visible, and no photos can be opened.
What's the recommended workaround for storing and using iPhoto on a Drobo?
All help much appreciated!

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “iPhoto Library” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)
That means there is some file(s) or folder(s) within the library that cannot be copied because the permissions on them are wrong or they are damaged in some way.
The Drobo has nothing to do with it.
Workaround: use a back up app like Chronosync to copy the Library to to disk. Any back up app that makes a straight copy of the Library (rather than increments) will do the job.

MAC: Using iPhoto with PSE 4.0 instead of Bridge.

I'm thinking about buying PSE 4.0 for editing my digital photos on my PowerBook. Can I continue to use iPhoto 6 as my main photo organizer and then PSE 4 for just editing, and forgo using Bridge? Can I just not install Bridge, since I read it's a separate app from PSE 4.0?
Does anyone else here use iPhoto 6 and PSE 4.0 together? Thanks.

You can't not install bridge, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
You can either set iphoto's preferences to open an image in PE with a doubleclick, or export your photos to the desktop to work on them and then reimport the edited photos.

Using iPhoto with an existing directory structure on HD full of jpgs

I'm using iPhoto 6. I recently moved 7,000+ photos (jpgs) off my PC onto my new Mac harddrive. They are organized into dozens of folders and subfolders. How can I use iPhoto to work with the pics within this directory structure? I tried dragging and importing several different ways, but it never preserves my extensive directory structure (just puts them all together into one big pile). I set it not to make a copy when importing. I just want iPhoto to "point" to my existing directory structure, so I can see my folders and subfolders on the left side (and from there I'll create albums and pages stuff). Thanks, Robin

Hello, Robin,
Welcome to the discussions.
First, you have to consider that iPhoto organizes differently from what you are used to doing. It is designed to allow you to do your organizing from within iPhoto, using film rolls and albums. That way, you do not have to be concerned with how and where iPhoto stores the actual photos.
If you want to keep the same type of organization that you have now, you can import the photos one folder at a time, so that iPhoto puts each folder into a separate film roll. You can change the date on import, since iPhoto will give the roll the date of import, not the date of the photo.
To get the subfolders into folders, use the album creation feature in the Source pane and create the albums and folders to suit your organizational needs and drag the photos into the appropriate locations. One of the great features of iPhoto's album function is that you can have a photo in more than one album.
Please take a look at iPhoto's tutorial here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/index.html
and some great explanations of how iPhoto is structured and works in these:

Using iPhoto with Photoshop

Hi there.
I would just like to know whether something is possible.
I'd like to store my photos as psds in Finder and use iPhoto to view them. I've worked out that I can drag my psds into iPhoto and then edit them using Photoshop, but when I edit them it seems like my changes are only visible if I view the file in iPhoto. If I revisit the file in Finder and drag that straight into Photoshop bypassing iPhoto, the changes I made in iPhoto are gone and editing this file doesn't update what I'm seeing in iPhoto.
Can I have the edits I make in Photoshop via iPhoto visible when my source psd is opened in Finder? I always use adjustment layers so I don't need all these safeguards.
For the record my iPhoto preferences are setup with "copy items to the iPhoto Library" unchecked, "Use RAW when using external editor" checked and "Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files" unchecked.
Cheers.

Can I have the edits I make in Photoshop via iPhoto visible when my source psd is opened in Finder? I always use adjustment layers so I don't need all these safeguards.
No, you cannot. When you use an external editor in iPhoto to edit a photo, iPhoto will send a copy of the image to the external editor, to preserve the integrity of the original file.
It looks like you are working against iPhoto's organization features instead of profiting from them. If you don't use the iPhoto interface and trust iPhoto to manage your photos, why not use a different photo managing software?

Using iPhoto with Nikon Coolpix 5900

Hi does anyone know why my camera Ive just purchased, a Nikon Coolpix 5900 is not compatible with iPhoto? Ive looked at the list on the Apple iPhoto website and its not on there.
Ive been supplied with a Nikon application called PictureViewer but Id much rather be using iPhoto. Is there anyway I can get my iPhoto to recognize my camera?
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Matt
It might be a stupid question, then, sorry for have asked it: Have you already tried if it works or just read about it?
If you have tried: Did the camera icon appear in the finder window? it should be there like an external drive or CD/DVD.
I have the same camera and haven't had any problems. just connected it and it works properly.
Usually, i start iPhoto firstly. Then, i connect my camera. After having connected you have to start your camera. after several seconds, iPhoto should recognize your camera.
actually, it works also when the camera is connected firstly and then started. in this case, iPhoto starts up on its own (or can be started manually).
Important point is that you start up your camera after having connected. the screen of the camera will be black but the telephoto will open. that's normal.

Using ichat with entourage

I just switched from xp to mac and am trying to figure out ichat. I prefer to use entourage vs Mail however from what I can read, ichat is designed to work with Mail for sending mail messages.
Is there a way (download/patch/etc) to have ichat interface with entourage? Otherwise, do I have to set up at least 1 mail account on Mail (which would also be set up in Entourage) to allow it work with ichat?
Thanks for any help!

I assume you're getting to mail via the Services menu.
Mac help has this:
"Mac OS X includes the Mail application, which you can use to send and receive email messages. To learn more, open Mail, then choose Help > Mail Help.
If you want to use a different email application, specify your default email application in Mail Preferences. Choose Mail > Preferences, click General, and choose the application you want to use from the Default Email Reader pop-up menu."

Can't use iPhoto with OS X Yosemite.

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite a while back and just tried using iPhoto. It won't work and said my library needed to be prepared. So I went through the steps to update my library, and I still can't use iPhoto. I still tells me it needs to be prepared even though I've done it 2 or 3 times.

Did you also update iPhoto to v9.6 at the App Store? If so:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Question About Using iPhoto With Sony Wireless Auto Import

I just bought a Sony DSC-RX100M2 and I'm very excited about the prospect of sending my photos wirelessly to my Retina MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.1.
I use iPhoto but I just know the basics.
I just imported 2 test pictures.
I can find them in Finder: My Home folder has a folder called Pictures. Sony placed a folder there called 2-14-14 (i.e. today's date), and the two pictures were in that folder.
I opened iPhoto and imported those pictures into my photo library. Great.
Now the question. Once these pictures have been imported into my photo library, can I delete the 2-14-14 folder (and its contents) created by the Sony import? It seems that I can, and the pictures are still in my photo library. But if that is the case, where are the pictures?
Mind you, I don't really need to "know" where the files are. I just need to be assured that after I import a photo into the photo library, I can delete the original folder where the import came in from my camera (which I think I've just proven to myself that I can?).
I'm sorry, this is probably basic stuff for most iphoto users, but I just want to make sure that I do not accidentally trash any photos.
Thanks

Using iPhoto with remote

When you operate iPhoto with the remote for the stand along slide show, is it possible to have different music playing than is does out of the box?
I find the music annoying but I have not been able to change it.
Please help.

fear nothing
I'm talking specifically about music accompanying a slideshow, not what happens when you invoke Front Row and search out iPhoto.
Click on a slideshow, then on the music button in the toolbar.
Select the "Play music during slideshow" checkbox if you want background music played during your slideshow.
Select a song from the Sample Music folder or your iTunes library to play during your slideshow. If you want more than one song, click on a playlist. You can search for a song by typing the artist or title in the search field.
Click OK to save these settings for the slideshow you selected.
