Zooming one photo to compare to a second one in iPhoto

I have hunted in the Help screens, the iPhoto menus and these forums and haven't turned up an answer...
I want to take 2 photos, one of which was taken at 4x the zoom as the other when captured in the camera. In iPhoto I would like to be able to take the lower zoom photo and place it beside the zoomed in photo and then zoom in the first until it appears to give the same detail size as the second for comparison. Is this possible with iPhoto? (In Preview I can open each image side by side and just zoom one until it's detail is the same size as the other. In Graphic Converter I can open both images and zoom the first by 400% to make the detail appear the same size.)

WebSalior:
If you select the two photos and click on the full screen button in the tool bar at the bottom of the iPhoto window (next to the keyword button) the two photos will open in full screen. Which ever photo you click on then will be able to be zoomed to any magnification you choose.
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.

TS1389 I down loaded two songs one right after another and the second one keeps telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it

I downloaded two songs right after each other and the second one keeps telling me that my computer is not authorized to play it (I'm the only user). When I put in the information it told me that my computer is already authorized to play the song and a second computer is too. WHY?

That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

When I upgraded my Mac Pro HDs I lost the capcity for 2 monitors. One monitor works fine but the second one is not "seen" by the Mac Pro. Help?

My MacPro is a dual quad core 2.8 intell processor system with 6 gig of RAM and 4 HDs. I recently upgraded the HDs from 500 gig each to 2 TB each. I did that by copying each existing hard drive to a new hard drive and then inserting the new hard drive where the copied drive had been. I followed all of the instructions for the OX system that came after copying and replacing the drive with the OX on it. Unfortunately now I can no longer use the 2 monitors that I used to use on the system. One monitor works fine, the second on is not found by the OX system and simply won't respond or receive a signal from the computer. Any ideas?

Have you tried a NVRAM / PRAM reset?
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Adding more than one photo per frame

Is there a way in iMovie HD 5.0.2 to show more than one photo at a time that is imported from iPhoto?

I LOVE to support Christian's little company, but.........
… use any pic processor (PhotoshopElements), make your "compositing" and add THAT into iMovie....
made a long time ago some nice effect, people asked me "how?!" by making a gigantic pic, containing 8 stills, and using the KB effect to "jump" from one pic (part) to the other…
in PSE you can create a "pile" of pics, then zoom in to the wanted pic (which starts to live, but that is another story..... )

Can't move more than one photo

iPhoto v9.2.1, OS X 10.6.8.
This is a really strange error; Normally you are able to mark several photos and then grab one and move them all. But when I'm choosing one of them it just deselects. Ie, I can't move more than one photo at a time!
Everything else in iPhoto works, and everything else on the computer as well (at first I thought that the COM key was pressed, it reminded of how you select and deselect objects with the COM key).
I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
Is it possible to solve this any other way?

I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
You won't.
Simple test, rather than dragging to the trash, just drag that plist file to the desktop. Start iPhoto. All that's reset are your factory settings - library location and the like - and these can be reset.

Select and Drag More Than One Photo

I can no longer select and drag more than one photo at a time. With one photo it works fine. If I select more than one, I can't move them, so I have to add pictures to albums one at a time, which is rather tedious.
This has only started happening recently. Possibly after updating to 10.6.8????
Anu ideas please?
iPhoto09, v8.1.2

Then I would try a reinstall:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

Can see only one photo per page. How to revert to multiple images per page?

First noticed on my iMac and now on my Macbook (10.4.9)--I'm no longer seeing a month's worth of photos on a single page. Only one photo per page, sometimes with miniature ones in the top border. I thought it was simply an inadvertent click on by part and easily corrected. But all attempts on both computers and reading of Help index haven't led to restoration of an entire page of photos and elimination of the annoyance. I'm wondering now if something I downloaded might have altered iPhoto program itself, making it impossible to view large numbers of photos at the same time. Any suggestions appreciated.
Cap

Cap,
This view, with the one photo big and the thumbnail strip across the top, is what happens when you double-click a photo with "Edit in: Main Window" set in the Preferences. There should be a button visible that says either Done or Return, to exit edit mode and return you to the library. If you still see only one photo, use the size slider in the lower right corner to reduce the photo size and get more thumbnails on the page.
If, for some reason, you can't exit the edit mode, you may have a corrupt preference file. Quit iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist and move that file to the Trash. Launch iPhoto, and you should be returned to the main viewing mode. You'll have to go in the Preferences and reset them to your liking.
Regards.

I have photoshop cc and a mac book pro. I cannot access my photos from photoshop. I can go to iPhoto and click edit to edit them in photoshop, but photoshop won't open them. I want to do a collage, so I need to get to more than one photo.

HOW DO I PRINT MULTIPLE COPIES OF ONE PHOTO ON A SINGLE PAGE?

Since Apple has not made this feature available, I am not able to print multiple copies of a single photo on one page. HELP suggested I download Portraits and Prints which I could use for free. However, I have downloaded this and note that DEMO watermark will appear on all photos unless I purchase the program. Is there a way to print without the DEMO watermark using this program or is there another free program that will allow me to print multiple copies of a single photo on a single page? Please help as I have spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple and it has gotten me no closer to a solution - something I could easily have done on the older versions of I Photo. Thanks!

Sadly, I have no pull down menu when I click on Customize or settings? I am using IPhoto 08 vers. 7.0.1. I was told by Apple HELP that this feature is not yet available, even though the instructions say to do exactly what you have said. But there is no pull down menu and no option to print multiple photos. It says print a single photo and it is clicked and I cannot unclick it. Any help would be appreciated. Do you actually have a pull down menu with Print Multiple Copies of One Photo as an option? What version of IPhoto provides this? Apple seems to think it is not available and it certainly isn't available on my system. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

I can only download 1 photo album from my computer to the ipad, if I download a second one, it deletes and replaces the first one. How can I fix this?

I can only download one photo album from my PC to the Ipad, if I try to download a second album, it deletes the first. Why???

Put all of your albums into one main photos album that you can sync from. You can only select one main folder of photos to sync to the iPad. If you direct iTunes to sync from a different folder the next time that you sync, the first album/folder will be deleted. You have to include all photos with each sync every time that you sync.
So create one main folder for photos and place all of your sub folders into that main photos folder, then when yo sync with iTunes, you can select that main photos folder as the "Sync Photos From" folder in the iTunes photos tab and you can select each of the subfolders within that main folder to sync as well.
But you can only select one level of subfolders to sync. You cannot sync a folder within a folder within the main folder - one level of sub folders only.
Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Select the main photos folder in the Sync Photos From drop down menu
Click on/select all of the albums or sub folders within that main folder that you want to sync.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

Why is a second image present when I drag one photo into iMovie timeline?

If I drag one photo, either from iPhoto or Finder, into the project library I expect a still image to be inserted into timeline for a default of 5 seconds. But the first two seconds of the still is another photo! I have no idea how this second image is showing up. The pics are regular jpegs, and open up fine in preview and iphoto. I can't figure out what is happening. If I delete the imported image and any connected transitions, then re-drag into iMovie, I still get a double image. Please Help!!!

To what codec, frame size & frame rate did you convert the files in Streamclip?
If it isn't AIC 720p30, you'll need to render.

Can't open IPhoto after importing one photo

I get this message: You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
This is after I uploaded one photo which a friend had sent me over the internet. I tried rebuilding my library. That did nothing. If I delete the picture will it fix it?
This is really annoying. I've uploaded other peoples photos before and this has never happened.
Any help appreciated

Unfortunately, most of the suggestions you've seen apply to newer versions of iPhoto (iPhoto 4 has "smart" albums, but I don't think it has "events"), and won't be especially meaningful with the earlier versions that are the subject of this particular forum.
There are two possible causes for the symptoms you've described... One possibility is that you've got a newer iPhoto version library folder somewhere on your computer (usually it's a mounted iPhoto CD that someone sent you, created with a newer version of iPhoto -- to fix, just eject the CD before running iPhoto). It's unlikely that downloading a photo is responsible.
The second (and most likely culprit) is a corrupted photo database (as TD has suggested). Normally, iPhoto is perfectly capable of rebuilding the database without the need for any 3rd-party software (which uses the same rebuild process, anyway). Sometimes the corruption is in that XML file that TD referred to, and when that happens, the rebuilt database will still be unusable.
Assuming you still have the original iPhoto Library folder that you started with (it's in your Pictures folder and is named "iPhoto Library"). Open your Pictures folder in a Finder window and discard any iPhoto Library folders that end in a number (those are the unsuccessful rebuild attempts) -- leave the rest of your Pictures folder alone. Now, before you empty the trash to recover that disk space, move your original iPhoto Library folder temporarily to the desktop.
Now start iPhoto. You should see a dialog offering to either locate an existing photo library, or create a new one -- you want to create a new one. When iPhoto shows you an empty photo collection, quit iPhoto. Then, in a Finder window, drag your original iPhoto Library folder from your desktop, and drop it inside the newly created iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder -- you're not replacing the new folder, rather, you're making a deposit (if you're prompted to replace, you've missed the drop -- try again). You can also drag that downloaded photo to the iPhoto Library folder, too -- but only this one time.
Finally, start iPhoto while holding the shift+option keys. Don't release them until you're prompted to confirm the intent to rebuild. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
Once you've confirmed that iPhoto is working normally and all your photos have been restored (you'll probably have to recreate any keywords, album associations, etc.), you can drag your original iPhoto Library folder from Pictures to the trash (keeping the numbered iPhoto Library folder this time).
