Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  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.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
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.
Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  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.    3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Why can't   i access my itunes library from anywhere?

    Why can't I access all of my iTunes library when I am of at home connected to wifi.. The whole reason I bought iTunes Match was do I could access my entire library from anywhere?

    On iTunes using your computer have you completed the iTunes Match 3-step process?
    If so, within Song view you can enable a field called iCloud status - sorting Songs on this field will show what is available from the cloud.
    It sounds like all you need to do is to enable mobile internet on your iPhone to allow access over 3G as well as WiFi.

  • GIMP - Why Can't I Access My iPhoto Library?

    Mac OS X 10.7.5
    Gimp 2.6.11
    What The **** ?   OK, I've been holding out asking this question and now I have to ask.
    I'm trying to learn Gimp Image Editor because I need to do a bunch of image editing for a video for the Veterans.
    When I try to bring an image in, I can't find my iPhoto Library.
    Here's a screen shot.
    Also, you're supposed to be able to drag in photos, but it won't let me do that either. So I have spent 4 hours today trying to figure this out and got nowhere.
    I hope one of you smart guys can tell me what's going on here. Restore my faith in Mac

    When I do this I see the images. What version of Gimp are you running?
    But as Linc wrote you should export the images from iPhoto or better yet make Gimp iPhotos external editor. See iPhoto->Preferences->Advanced

  • Why can't I restore my iphoto library from Time Machine backup?

    Hi, My Library mysteriously disappeared from my HD but I located it in Time Machine. However, every time I try to restore, after spending a while 'preparing to copy' I get a the following message:  "The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access [file name]. I have full access rights to the file... I have tried doing a straight copy and paste from my back up folder - with the same result. I did close iphoto while trying this exercise, again, this didn't help... I would be grateful for some advice as to how to persuade the system to all me to restore this precious file of 171GB, which has 10 years of pics in it! Many thanks.

    It's a normal issue. See > http://pondini.org/TM/E9.html

  • "Check that you have permission to write to the library directory." I had this error pop up when trying to access a iPhoto Library from Finder.

    The error, "Check that you have permission to write to the library directory." Displayed after trying to access a iPhoto Library from finder. The file is located on the local hard drive and was accessed not 5 minutes before the error displayed. Upon searching the forums I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab. There was no box visible and after clicking the arrow to open the "Open With" tab, the rainbow wheel started to spin and I could no longer access Finder or the desktop. I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library. My question is how can I fix this and how can I prevent this in the future, thank you very much for any help, I would really like to keep these pictures.

    I found a similar problem and the instructions said to check a permission box in the "Get Info" tab.
    This applies only when the Library is on an external drive. You cannot ignore permissions on the system drive.
    I was deleting files trying to make space on my hard drive
    What were you deleting?
    and noticed as I was deleting files more data was being added to the iPhoto Library.
    Hard to see how deleting files can add data to the iPhoto Library. Can you explain why you thought this?
    I would really like to keep these pictures.
    Make a back up now.
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Not able to access my iPhoto library from external harddrive

    I get this message when I attempt to access my iphoto Library from my LeCie external hard drive.  "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
    I'm nervous to do as instructed for fear of deleting my photos from the external harddrive.

    What format is the external drive? Has the iPhoto library been working on the external drive in the past? What recently changed? what ahppened when you tried

  • Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes to show on my Apple TV3?

    Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes on my Imac to my Apple tv3? I only got the option for music and photo`s. I want internet radio to show too

    Internet radio is not part of your iTunes library. There is a separate section on the ATV for radio if you wish to use or you can use airplay via iTunes.

  • I can no longer access my iphoto library after trying to transfer photos to dropbox.

    Help! I'm a IT hopeless. I can no longer open my iphoto library witihout a message saying can't access without using iphoto upgrader.  It worked a treat before I tried to upload lib. to dropbox. What do I do?

    Thanks, Leonie
    I went into finder on my new iMac, clicked on 'pictures' and my library suddenly appeared, when I hadn't been able to access it using the icon on the bottom of the desktop without being told I had to update the photos before accessing.
    Since I'd been accessing the library with no problem, I simply assume that my bumbling attempt to save the library to Dropbox caused bad things to happen.
    Scary when you're an IT ignorant like me! And why a supportive response like yours helps take away that feeling I was not just helpless but alone.

  • Why can't i see my iPhoto library in iMovie on my iMac?

    I have used my iPhoto library before on my Macbook to create movies using iMovie.  I now have an iMac and looking to try and use iMovie on this device.  However, when I go to iMovie, the iPhoto library is greyed out and I cannot access my photos.  I have searched around for threads on this subject and have tried some of the following...removed all key words and ensured all of my photo folders have names that do not have any special symbols.  I still cannot access my iPhotos in iMovie on my iMac.  Any other suggestions?

    Can you see the iPhoto Library from any other app, like Safari?  File ➙ Open File menu option:

  • Why can't I access my desktop library through home sharing on my laptop?, Why can't I access my desktop library through home sharing on my laptop?

    I just bought a new laptop and it has the latest update of itunes as does my desktop computer. I have turned on home sharing on both devices and am signed in to my account yet I cannot access my itunes library from my desktop on my laptop. Can you help me?
    Ollie

    If the iTunes Library.itl file is also on the external drive, try launching iTunes while holding down the Shift key, and when the dialog window opens that allows you to create a new library or open an existing one, choose to open an existing one, navigate to the folder that contains that library file and select it.
    If that works, note for the future that if you launch iTunes when that external drive isn't mounted, iTunes will default back to the normal location on the internal drive and you'll have to repeat the Shift-launch process.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I access German TV shows from US iTunes account??

    I am a German Expat living in the US & I want to buy German TV shows in the iTunes store. Mainly for my daughter whom I want to raise bilingual. Why can't I access German TV shows?? And if there is a way, how? I have a US billing address.
    Arem't we in an international age now? This is very limiting.

    There are a lot of great original German TV shows as well. Also, I would not mind my daughter watching her favorite US shows, such as Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dubbed in German. Any way she deepens her German language skills is fine by me.
    I also feel it's somewhat unfair (discriminatory even?) if hispanic immigrants have access to their language in the iTunes TV show section, but not other nationalities, only because there are less Germans here (for example). Come to think of it, it's a great way to learn any forreign language for US students, if they were able to easily download foreign TV content...
    The one big advantage of digital downloads of TV and movies, in my eyes, would be the "accross the border" ease of access. I sure hope the powers that be will become more aware of this and fix this issue. At least a "selection" of the most popular, original TV shows could be available.
