So, I decided to import my old library very carefully. I pride myself in anticipating such problems. This is the problem I was faced with when I started playing with iPhoto. What if you already have 20,000 old photos and scans on your old computer (in “My Pictures”)? This flow (with some face recognition, red-eye removal, event/album creation etc.) works like a charm - if you are just starting out with your new digital camera. It expects you to shoot pictures, connect your camera to your Mac, move the photos from the camera to the Mac, enhance/edit and share (Facebook, flickr) or print or make photo books. I know, there are alternatives, but for seamless integration and smooth-as-silk workflow, iPhoto reigns supreme.īut (ah, there is always a “but”), the workflow in iPhoto can create a problem for some. In fact, I would go as far as to say that iPhoto is one of the main reasons to switch to a Mac.
It is the iLife photo organization program that comes pre-installed on your swanky new iMac or Mac Book Air.
Another way of killing and relaunching Finder is to issue the command killall Finder from a terminal window. So do give it a try if nothing else helps.
The last step (of killing and relaunching Finder) has been touted as something that definitely works. Click on the Apple logo on any menu bar, select “Force Quit…” to bring up the window show, select Finder and hit the Relaunch button The last thing to try is to kill and relaunch Finder.Note that it is not under the usual Finder preferences, which you would bring up using Cmd-I. Open a Finder window, hit Cmd-J to bring up these options, and ensure that the Calculate All Sizes is not ticked (despite the fact that it is shown ticked in the screenshot here). Ensure that Finder is not set to show all size.Right click on the icons and select Quit. Quit applications that may be indexing the file system.If it is not, or if you have other reasons for not installing the update, there are a few other these tips you can try. Give it a few minutes and see if the speed is acceptable (about 10-20 MB a second on your wired Gigabit network).
#Iphoto for mac os 10.7 update
In all likelihood, this update is all that you will need to fix your slow Time Machine on Time Capsule To verify, restart your machine and launch Time Machine. So, as long as your Mac is up-to-date, you don’t have to worry too much about missing this particular update. Note that it may be installed as bundled with other updates.
#Iphoto for mac os 10.7 install
If it is not installed, click on the “Scheduled Check” tab, and install it.
#Iphoto for mac os 10.7 software
Nothing has helped so far? Fear not, here is what you need to do.įirst of all, launch your software update pane from your system preferences on your Mac.Įnsure that you have this update, which specifically addresses this problem. You would have tried disk utility to repair your Time Capsule disk, disabled Spotlight indexing, connected your Mac directly to TC etc. Your next step was to trawl Google, which would have shown you that you are not alone. Let me guess - you bought a new Time Capsule, set up your Time Machine to back up half a terabyte of family photos and home videos, and expected it to be “hands-free” from then on? Then you got this progress bar saying that it will take 563 days (or some such ridiculous number) to sync?
