Is iP2F freeware?

No.
After the free trial period you will have to purchase a license, if you want to continue using iP2F.

I paid for a license, but never received the key. What happened?

Our license key email probably got caught in your spam filter. So before you contact us, please make sure to check your spam/junk folder for email from either the tagtraum.com or the beatunes.com domain.

If you cannot find it in your spam folder, try our lost key form.

If the form fails, too, please contact us.

Note, that if our emails to you are filtered out by your spam filter, we have no way of communicating with you. This means that if you contacted us via email and we answered, you might never receive our answer due to your spam filter.

I lost my license key. Can you mail it to me again?

Please use our lost key form.

If you are unable to get to your key using the form, please contact us.

My version of iP2F is expired. What now?

If you are using a trial version:

Buy a license.

The license key will be emailed to you. Then start iPhoto, select some images and try to export them with iP2F. Then enter the license information in the registration dialog.

If you are using a beta version, check this website for a new beta version or the final release.

Something does not work. Where can I get support?

Is iP2F available in other language than English?

Glad you asked! Yes, iP2F is also localized for the German market. So, if you install iP2F on a German Mac, you'll see the German interface.

Installation

  1. How can I find out, which version of OS X I am using?
  2. Installation fails with "iPhoto is either not installed or not installed in the default location."
  3. How can I find out, whether iP2F has been installed correctly?

How can I find out, which version of OS X I am using?

Click on the apple symbol on the very left of your menu bar and select About This Mac. A dialog window pops up, showing the OS X version.

Installation fails with "iPhoto is either not installed or not installed in the default location."

The installer can only work properly, if iPhoto is installed in its default location, i.e. in the /Applications folder.

If you have moved iPhoto to another folder for some reason, move it temporarily back to /Applications, install iP2F, and move iPhoto back to whereever you like to keep it.

How can I find out, whether iP2F has been installed correctly?

After the installation, start iPhoto and try to export some images. To do so, select some images, open the File menu (if you are using iPhoto 5, open the Share menu instead) and select Export

Exporting images out of iPhoto

In the now appearing Export Photos window, you should find an iP2F tab. If you cannot see it, something went wrong during installation. Please contact support at support@tagtraum.com.

Verifying installation

Usage

  1. How do I upload images to Flickr?
  2. How do I create a new photo set?
  3. I checked Hide From Public, but the image is still public.
  4. I get an unsupported URL error. What's up with that?

iP2F tab of Export Photos

More infos can be found in the online help - just click on the ? button in the iP2F tab of the Export Photos dialog.

How do I create a new photo set?

Just check the box in front of Add images to set and type a new photo set name into the text field behind it. The new photo set will be created when you upload the selected images. The images will also be added to the set.

Creating a new photo set

I checked Hide From Public, but the image is still public.

When you check the Hide from public box, the image will be hidden from public searches, i.e. your photo is flagged. To make sure that only your friends and/or family can see your pictures, please click on the Privacy level bar (privacy level on Flickr).

Setting the privacy level.

I get an unsupported URL error. What's up with that?

The iPhoto plugin FFXporter and iP2F conflict with each other and cannot be installed at the same time. Please uninstall one of the two to make the other one work.

Uninstallation

  1. How can I uninstall iP2F?

How can I uninstall iP2F?

Currently there is no automatic uninstaller, yet. However, removing iP2F is pretty straight forward.
