TICKET ARCHIVE -> Iphoto printing and themes?

andrewj475 - Dec 23, 2007 - 2:20 pm

I have been dealing with printing issues with my HP Aio, which you were kind enough to help with. As it turned out I needed to do a clean reinstall of Leopard and reset the network router. Now the printer works fine.

However when I go to print from iPhoto I get a dialog box that there are no "themes" installed and printing cannot be done. I reinstalled the iLife 08 but am getting the same message. I though themes were just for other programs?

Themes are used by the new iPhoto to provide the various borders/backgrounds for printing pictures.
Check in the hard drive /Library/Application Support folder.
You should find an iPhoto folder, and a Themes folder inside that. If you don't see that folder at all, then you need to do a custom install of just iPhoto from your iLife '08 DVD.

Thanks
I checked in the iPhoto folder - no themes
Since this is the result of a clean install, I also checked in the previous system folders - no themes
I did a spotlight search - no themes
I reinstalled iLife - still no themes
I was unable to do a custom install of just iPhoto )it was greyed out) but did the whole thing

Well - Time Machine to the rescue - I found a previous version of my info that had the Themes folder in it (though curiously of the previous 30 or so backups only 1 had the folder) Anyway I restored it and all is well.
Thanks for the info
