Iphoto Mountain Lion

10.8 Mountain Lion is a direct upgrade from OX 10.7 Lion that includes many new features that are pleasant to use. We presume that support for the pro apps, such as Aperture. Mountain Lion users will tweet links and photos directly from the Mac’s built-in web browser, as well as from iPhoto, or Photo Booth, with the new Tweet Sheet command. Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is a very powerful and reliable operating system for your Macintosh computer with different enhancements and improvements. Download Iphoto For Os X Lion 2 Mac OS X Lion 10.7 is the eighth major release of Mac OS X is a completely different version from the for windows because it is a version that is totally based. Yes, you can run more than one version of iPhoto at a time. The trick is to move the current version into it's own folder ('iPhoto'06', for instance), before installing an alternate version. Of course, there are other gotchas: mainly that you'll need separate copies of your iPhoto Library to use with the different versions of iPhoto.

iPhoto offers some pretty good features to manage our photos and videos on Mac OS (10.9.4, 10.9.3, 10.9, 10.8, 10.7, etc). However, if you don't understand clearly how it works, it might confuse you a lot. This happens more often when you export videos from iPhoto.

Commonly, we can see iPhoto users ask questions like 'How to export videos from iPhoto to Mac?', 'How to stop iPhoto coyping all media files?', or 'How to export full and complete video from iPhoto, not a shortcut?'. And some users want to know if there is an option in iPhoto to change the original video format when export from iPhoto, for instance, if the original video is .avi, does iPhoto offers options 'export as MP4' or such like? If it does, users then can export video in a format that they can import to QuickTime or iMovie for playback and editing. For example, they can export AVI to iMovie MP4 format for editing.

Similarly, how big is OS X Mountain Lion? Apple servers are very busy today, as the company is distributing new Mac versions of iPhoto, iMovie, Safari and iWork in addition to the OS. Our readers have reported a range of download times from one to three hours. The Mountain Lion installer is 4.05 GB in size.

Below, we'll show you how to solve the problems mentioned above.

How to Export a Full Video from iPhoto to Mac?

iPhoto by default will manage your iPhoto Library for you, every time you import a new photo or video, it will automatic copy your files to the library and you don't have access to the original files. Follow the instructions below to get your video out of the library.

1. Select the videos you intend to export in iPhoto, and click File > Export.

2.In the export dialog, the defaulted Kind of the file is set to JPEG, so you need to change it to Original, otherwise you'll get the preview jpeg of the first frame of the movie that iPhoto creates to display as a thumbnail.

3. Click the Export and choose the location to save your video. Done! Now you could edit your exported videos in QuickTime, or iMovie, or upload them to Vimeo, YouTube for sharing.

Please make sure the original videos in their original locations, or iPhoto won't work. And in fact, if you go to the iPhoto Preferences-Advanced to uncheck the 'Copy items to the iPtoto Library' box, iPhoto will point to the original location of the files instead of copying them to the library file.

How to Export iPhoto Video in a More Easy-to-Play Format?

Actually, you cannot change video format when exporting from iPhoto. You export as the original, the way it was shot. Then if the exported iPhoto video is incompatible with QuickTime or iMovie, or can't be uploaded to YouTube or other video sharing websites, what can we do?

Firstly, we can try to download and install required codec or add-ons/plug-ins. When we can't open a file, chance is lack of required codec. You can use software like Media Inspector to check which codec is missing and then go for it. Usually, codecs are available from codec publishers' websites. However, sometimes it still fails to play even we've installed the required codec. That's because of the conflict of different decoders. For this case, we might need to remove one or more installed codecs.

Things might get a little bit complicated when comes to codecs, especially for those who know little about codecs. How about just changing the currently used video player or editor to a different one that can handle the unsupported exported video? Yes, it can be a solution. But you should know you might have another codec problem with the new video player since so far there is no video player that can play all kinds of codecs. Additionally, you might not want to spend much time looking for a better video player since there are many options in the market. So, the easier solution can be video conversion with the third-party program.

Compared to the solutions mentioned above, doing video conversion with iOrgsoft Video Converter Mac is a much easier way. iOrgSoft Mac Video Converter supports a wide range of input and output formats, such as AVI, MOV, MKV, MTS, AVCHD, XAVC, WMV, MXF, and so on. It can solve nearly all video incompatible issues by converting video files to a more easy-to-play and more convenient format. Besides, it is also able to download online video, do simple editing work on the imported video, and convert audios. It is very easy to use. Find out more information of it below.

A possible issue with iPhoto and background CPU usage

It's possible it's caching thumbnails of all of your photos. Just a guess.

A possible issue with iPhoto and background CPU usage

I love and hate iPhoto. Its got several issues that should have been worked out long before now. I wonder if there's going to be a Mac version of Adobe's Photoshop Album?

I think that it is likely that it is caching and confirm the contents of the iPhoto Library, to make sure nothign has changed.

I also think that it's caching all the photos in the Library. A bigger issue for me, with my 5.6 GB hard disk and 320 MB RAM, is that it needs a ton of memory to cache all those photos--iPhoto normally forces the OS to create 3 or 4 virtual memory swap files almost immediately when it starts up, chewing up a substantial portion of the ~1GB disk space I have available. iPhoto 2 didn't cache photos immediately, which made it a bit slower when scrolling (although not much slower in practice on my machine, since it's effectively just caching them in virtual memory rather than reading the files directly)--I wish you could turn caching off in iPhoto 3.

To speed things up IMMEASURABLY, 'View as Albums' and then option-click on just one of the fold down menus to collapse an album. All of the albums will immediately collapse, and you can then scroll through your albums via their textual names. When you find the one you want to look at, just click the arrow again to uncollapse it.
Since iPhoto isn't drawing all of your thumbnails as you scroll, it makes the app that much faster to scroll through.

You must all be right about thumbs caching & CPU usage : my iPhoto app is set to start by showing film rolls and my rolls are always closed at startup.
For a test I opened iPhoto and watched CPU usage by the 'top' command : it climbed to 60% for a second or two, and then went back to 0% and stayed there... so far with a Tibook 400 ! :-)
My guess is, iPhoto didn't need to cache anything at startup, therefore it had nothing to do.
I waited some time, then played with the views and options, and then got back to closed roll : the usage returned to 0% when in background.

$ sudo fs_usage iPhoto
shows that the app is pretty busy. iphoto needs to be running before fs_usage can catch the app.
you can fs_usage | grep -i iphoto to watch it from launch
