Can't print from iphoto

click here for a discussion on resolving missing themes.

The themes should be located in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes folder. In previous versions they may have been in the User/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes folder. Check both places. If they are in the User location and not the HD location, move them to the HD locate, reboot and try again.

I have found them in the HD where they should be. Now what do I do. It didn't say in the article. I drag and dropped and 500 photos started going into my library. I don't want to do that.

Were the themes here - User/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes folder - if so drag the Themes folder here - HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes folder.

Were the themes here - HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Themes folder - then leave them and go to the reinstall option

What did you drag and drop - and from where to where?

By reinstall do you men get the disc out and find iphoto? If so, I don't recall how to find it before I get to the applications folder.

the iPhoto applications is in the applications folder
the receipts are in the system receipts folder ("your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts)
The themes folders are at "User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto" and/or "HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto"

If the move doesn't take then you'll have to do the following;

Restoring iPhoto Themes

1 - delete the current application.

2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.

3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.

Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.

5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.

After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.5 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.

The iPhoto program and the iPhoto library are separate

You should always have a current backup of your iPhoto library - software, hardware and human failures can lose your photos unless you have a backup to protect yourself

I have exactly the same problem-- dialogue box says "no themes located..."
However, the Themes folder is in the right place, and it contains scores of themes.

Great! I too just resolved my problem. I went to a previous version of iPhoto (7.0.1) on an external HD, and discovered that i could print from that HD (requires changing startup disk). I then checked the size of the Themes Folder, and found that it was times over the size of the Themes Folder on my main (internal) HD. I dumped the internal Themes on that HD, and copied over the Folder from the external HD. Now i can print the way it's supposed to work! Hooray!

iPhoto albums are just database entries - so when you install iPhoto '09 it converts your iPhoto '08 database to the '09 format including albums - did you do anything other than just install iPhoto '09? Did you backup your iPhoto '08 iPhoto library prior to upgrading?
