Would having several Libraries in iPhoto 08 complicate an upgrade to iPhoto 11?
I have iPhoto 08 running on a 2007 iMAC. I would like to upgrade to iPhoto 11. Others have apparently had problems upgrading iPhoto. It seems if problems occur the solution, from earlier threads, seems to be to rebuild the library, or to down load a Library Manager software and go thru some further process.
I have four iPhoto Libraries - I wonder if the presence of several libraries in iPhoto 08 could complicate an upgrade to iPhoto 11 and if so if there is anything that could be done before the upgrade to reduce the chances of a problem.
Thanks
No. Having multiple libraries has no effect on the upgrade of the applicaiton. They are separate entities. However, be sure you have current backups of those libraries before openning them with iPhoto 9.5 for the first time.
Also since they are iPhoto 7 (08) libraries you'll have to download and run this upgrater on each library before opening them with the new iPhoto: iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1

Iphoto freezes during upgrade to iPhoto '08 -- many photos corrupted
When upgrading to iPhoto 8 (using iLife '08 disks), the program froze while photos were in mid-conversion. I am able to access some (those that had finished being converted before the program froze?) but am unable to access most of my photos. In Finder, for the photos that successfully converted, I see a thumbnail image, the photo title, the date taken, the file size and "Jpeg image."
For the photos that I can no longer access, the thumbnail images are all little pages with an arrow pointing to a red "JPG" at the top, the photo title is now IMG_0062.JPG, the date of all the unconverted photos is Dec 18 2005, the files are all 4 KB, and the kind of photo is listed as Alias.
When I try to double click one of the non-converted files, the following error message appears: The alias "IMG_0154,jpg" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found." I have the option to: "Delete Alias" "Fix Alias..." or "OK" If I try to "Fix Alias" 4 files appear (T104.ithmb, T155.ithmb, T206.ithmb, T257.ithmb -- They are all 853 KB, were created on the same 1/15/06 but at 4 different times.) Choosing one does not solve the problem.
In the Events section of iPhoto 8, there are empty events in the place of where the converted photos should be (even lists the number of photos, but the 'event' itself is blank).
Can anyone help? These are the only copies of these photos and they're very important.
Thanks!

Can you se an Folder called Originals inside the iPhoto Library, in your Pictures Folder - if necessary go there and right click on the Library icon and go 'Show Package Contents' on the Library.
This Originals folder should contain your actual photos.
If it does then: To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Importing certain photos into iPhoto since QT upgrade crashes iPhoto
I have about 2,000 photos (jpg) that were all scanned in and now when I try importing them into iPhoto is crashes. It worked fine in QT 7.1.2 but with the 7.1.3 upgrade iPhoto now crashes. Apple is now aware of the problem (sent them an example photo and they can reproduce) The work-around suggested is open the photo in preview, do a file save as (jpg) then import into iPhoto. This works, BUT for 2,000 photos it is not really feasible. Not sure if anyone has an idea how to get around this. Thought of applescript, but preview is not scriptable.
I don't have a solution but can confirm that I an experiencing the same problem.
I am trying to import a bunch of jpeg files from a folder on my desktop. They are a mix of unedited files and some which have been edited in Photoshop Elements 3. As soon as iPhoto hits one of the edited files it crashes.
I have sent the crash log to Apple each time it happens and have send a bug report to them. I would suggest everyone who is experiencing this does the same in the hope that it may highlight the issue sooner rather than later.
Reverting back to previous versions of software is a retrograde step - Apple's software should "just work" - this is why I switched.

Trouble upgrading from iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 to latest version
Currently, I am using iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 and want to SAFELY upgrade to the latest version of iPhoto (and I have already upgraded to Lion). I've heard about a lot of lost data when doing this! I started by trying to install version 9.0.1 it won't load on my hard drive saying that I need to install version 9.0 first. I thought about just going ahead with iPhoto '11 but I'm confused and don't want to risk losing data. Any suggstions?
Make a back up before upgrading anything.
Somewhat confusing but iPhoto 11 and iPhoto v9 are the same thing. 11 is the marketing name for version 9 of iPhoto - like 09 is the marketing name of version 8 of iPhoto.
To upgrade to iPhoto 11 (v9) you need to purchase it. You can do this on the App Store.

Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.
I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

Upgrading to 6 and moving several libraries in
Hi,
OK, here's my situation. I have several iPhoto libraries on my old iBook that I have copied to my new iMac. I have been reluctant to import them into iPhoto 6. I'd like to do it once, and have everything work perfectly-that's what Macs are all about, right?
So, I have a couple of libraries, and I have several folders of jpegs, not in iPhoto libraries.Some of the pics are duplicated in several libraries. How can I import them all into iPhoto and maintain the library information- keywords, etc.
Is there anything I should look out for? It seems straight forward, but then again, so did moving images out of iPhoto from the finder when I did that 2 years ago- before all the warnings about playing in the finder.
thanks in advanceRichard, If the library you are using now has a few photos in it you might want to File/export those to a folder on the desktop and import them into the main library after the big libraries are merged..
Now holding down the Option key launch iPhoto and keep the Option key held down until you get a message window. In that window click the button to open another library. Take a look at the screenshots to get a better idea.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.
So basically you want to upgrade each library to version 6 first. Make sure the upgrade on each goes fine and you can see and work with the photos.
As each library is upgraded, go through the library and make sure your photos are organized and in albums. To find stray photos that are not in albums make a smart album whose conditions are "album" "is not" "any". Make an album with those photos.
Decide which library you want to be the main library to merge the others into.
I found that iPhoto library manager is pretty good at detecting duplicates, but your milage might vary. -
Safe to delete a "List Template" that has been used to create several libraries?
In SharePoint 2010, is it safe to delete a "List Template" from the Gallery that has been used to create several libraries? I have a user that has requested the template be deleted. But he has used the template to create several active
libraries that he needs to keep. I wanted to make sure there will be no impact to those libraries and associated workflow, etc...
Thanks!Libraries created from a template are not tied to the template, so the template can be removed if it is no longer required. The same holds true for Site Templates.
Yes, the template can be removed.
One more thing, if you dont want delete the List template or having some fear than you can hide it from UI. in Template just hide it.
<ListTemplate Hidden="TRUE" />
But is you have the list definition than its different story.

I just purchased a new computer. My old computer has several "libraries" that have been saved. How do I know how to transfer the data most efficiently?
The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup. -
I have two libraries on separate computers. If i turned itunes match on in both computers would the two libraries merge? So if my iphone normally syncs with my laptop would i still only get the iphones library or would i get both as one?
Yes, the two libraries should merge. However, you need to turn on match on one computer and let it finish before adding the second library.
Once you turn march on n your phone then you don't sync it with iTunes, but the merged library will show up on the phone. If you don't turn on match on your phone and continue to sync then all of the music from both libraries should be available to sync to it.
The only bit I can't confirm is what happens if you try to sync music to the phone which isnt actually downloaded into iTunes. Im not in a position to test that, but maybe someone else can help. -

I have 30+ iPhoto Libraries, so every time I open one, iPhoto wants to copy the 3 events I had out there when MobileMe shut down. Those 3 events are already saved in the appropriate iPhoto libraries. Wish I had deleted them on MobileMe! How do I turn this process off?
As Larry mentioned I use a different DAM (digital asset management) appliclation, Media Pro 1. For other possible DAM apps visit The DAM Forum which is for professional photographers. There the various apps are discussed along with workflows. If nothing else you'll get some good information on managing digital "negatives".
Media Pro lets you manage the folder organization of your photos and write metadata, keywords, titles, and other metadata directly back to the files. No matter what app you go with have a backup plan in place to keep current backups of your source photos on separate hard drives. -
