Well done Diana, I knew you could do it ;-) Print save as PDF any instructions I send, then you will have them to refer back to if required. I won't post anything more on iPhoto until you have had time to absorb what I already have given you. We don't want to overload you with information; we

G'Day Ronni While you are advising on iPhoto could you briefly advise me as to what advantages there would be for me to upgrade to iLife 11 from 9, I am using v 8.1.2. I am not a great photo taker but occassionally zap off a few. I don't use some of the features in my version mainly only

Hi Barry, If iPhoto v8.1.2 is doing everything you want to do with your photos, upgrading is probably not worth it. iPhoto v9 does have a lot of ‘New Features’ to iPhoto v8. Have a look here for details of all the new features: http://www.apple.com/au/ilife/iphoto/ Click on “What’s New in

Hi Neil The software for my old Canon PowerShot G2 was OS9. I spoke to Trevor at Team Digital, he sold it to me in the Perth Pro days, he said he was sure there was an OSX version. I had failed to find one and so did he. Trevor suggested a Card Reader and I shall probably get one. In the

Hello John I took your advice, got the album. Listened to it while I tried importing CDs the correct way reading Ronni's instructions on the iPad and importing to the MacBookPro. A mixture of triumph and puzzlement, I certainly learned a lot. Today has been rather fraught and now it is time

Hi Diana, My suggestion/question regarding Image Capture was whether Image Capture would see the attached camera WITHOUT using any Canon software - in essence using the camera as its own Card Reader - this may not be possible but have you actually tried connecting the camera by usb and opening

Hi Ronni I haven't had time to do more with iPhoto but I am sure I shall be able to manage with your excellent instructions. I have managed to master iTunes. I had fun and games with the Peggy Lee, George Shearing Album. iTunes divided it into five, one had the original cover (on both my LP

Hi Peter, No, iLife ’11 is an Upgrade not an Update. You need to purchase iLife ’11 I think now you can only purchase and download the iLife iWork Apps through the App Store. I don’t think Apple have the DVD for purchase anymore. I have the physical DVD as I prefer to have the disc. There

Hello Diana, After that dissertation, I'm sure Ronni needs a rest! For your other question… You get a discount for buying a whole album off iTunes. That's why the album price is $8.99 but the total of the individual tracks is $27.97. You will get ALL the tracks if you buy the album (and

Hi Diana, If you still think iPhoto is unnecessarily complicated, have you tried opening Image Capture with the camera connected by usb and seeing if Image Capture sees the Canon camera? I also prefer to organise my photos how I want to file them - rather than the way iPhoto wants to file them -

Hello Diana, Where do I start… I think perhaps in parts. You first need to understand a bit about iPhoto and iTunes. PART ONE: iPhoto: Are you using iPhoto 9.2.1 (iLife’11)? First you need to understand how iPhoto works. iPhoto '11 presents two ways to view your library: by Thumbnails of

Hi Ronni This query is timely, it reflects my situation as well, so I'll be following your answers very carefully. I have iPhoto 8.1.2. Can this be upgraded or do I need to purchase iLife'11. I did have an earlier iLife at one stage. Regards Peter -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List --
