How come it is not possible to sort out and view just the VIDEOS separate from the photos? Such a simple thing Apple, but a big gap!

FYI: If you didn't buy iPhoto from the Mac App Store, you can get the update from the developer link above - or through Software Update.

New version available as of a few moments ago.

I wish Apple would create an organizer app for graphics in general -- not just photos. Right now, iPhoto is only great if you use it as a personal photo library. Meaning, you actually shoot the photos you add to iPhoto.

If you just collect photos from all over the places -- websites, friends, etc. -- iPhoto is just not up to that. Not to mention, it is the worst app for collecting graphics, in general, like drawings, paintings, or illustrations. They all get mixed with files that actually are photos, they all get their own messed up events. Not to mention that iPhoto tries to face-recognize files even though they are not pictures.

I still can't find any rational explanation as to why Apple doesn't allow to deactivate the face recognition system per album/event basis.

And the event system itself is the worst if you want to use iPhoto for something even slightly beyond just personal photo library.

Now to the UI flaws:
- Keywords are a pain to add. You have to click so many times that you will probably fall asleep before you get to the actual keyword adding.
- It's impossible to add a description to several photos at once. The field just disappears if you have more than one photo selected. Another mind-boggling illogical thinking of Apple.
- It's impossible to add a face to multiple photos at once. Yes, you have to click through all your 1200, or whatever, photos to add a face to them. Even though you only have the same person on all of them.
Another mind-boggling illogical thinking of Apple.
- In the "Recents" you can only set the "Last [time period]" as low as 1 month. Really, Apple? I'm adding thousands of new photos a month. How am I supposed to find something in there? Why not allow me to set the "Last" to a day? What will happen if you give me such power? Am I going to crash the world's economy by setting the filter to a day?
Another mind-boggling illogical thinking of Apple.

I am a Mac user since the old times of System 7, but I am starting to hate Apple, in this version I can't make a card in my Printer just have to order from their store, but I bought iLife and it has that feature, I COULD PRINT CARDS IN MY OWN PRINTER, now another TROJAN Update and that feature is stolen!! I bet there will be other surprises in the others iLife apps!! WHO Needs Virus on Mac When We have this kind of behavior!!! Oh and I can't delete photos anymore, they still on the hardrive!

This update to 9.2 (I have 9.1.5) shows up as an update at the App Store. But I get this weird "an error has occurred" in the App Store application before I even try to download the update (which the store clearly thinks I should have.)

When I try to do the update...the little iPhoto icon sails down the the dock...and then, just sits there...and if I mouse over the icon it says, "iPhoto — waiting. . ."

Anybody else running into this? Any suggestions? Simple being told "an error has occurred" isn't much help!

Thanks for any feedback or suggestions,
Steve

Missing feature from iPhoto 8 - right click on pic and "Show in finder"!!!!

I updated to the latest 8.0.3 today, midway through working on a slideshow project. Prior to updating I had successfully exported several versions of my project using the same non-DRM-protected mp3 file. After updating, my slideshow has no exported sound. None. I tried AAC, still no sound. Restarted the computer, no sound. Even tried the built in themes, no sound on the exported file. Deleted the ~.plist, restarted the computer, iPhoto opens like new (all libraries intact) but once again, no sound on the exported slideshow.

Frustrating. Tomorrow I pull out my disks and reinstall software, not letting iPhoto update to see if there is any joy in mudville.

Can anyone help please? I've tried to install both 5.0.4 and 6.0.1 and get the same problem: At 'Select a Destination' I get a big white exclamation mark in a red octagon saying 'You cannot install IPhoto Update 5.0.4/6.0.1 on this volume. An eligible IPhoto application was not found in the location /Applications/IPhoto.app.'

I don't have a digital camera, but I do have an iPod Nano, and all I want to do is upload photos from my computer to my Nano. I downloaded this updater so I could. But everytime I try to install it, I get this message:

iPhoto504 cannot be installed on this computer.

An eligible iPhoto application could not be found in /Applications.


What's going on?
