Errata

Re: Saving Everyday Documents Into iPhoto: Sadly, the function to import PDFs or other non-photo documents into iPhoto '11 (and the "Save PDF to iPhoto ?" menu item) doesn't seem to exist any longer, at least not in Mac OS X 10.8.x. (Some forum users recommend converting PDFs to JPEG (possibly using Automator) and importing these into iPhoto.)

Rename sidebar as "WORKAROUND WORKSHOP"
Replace sidebar figure with file named "1sb2 save to iphoto NEW.tif"
Most people think of iPhoto as a photo-management program. But thanks to a sneaky command that Apple hid in the Print dialog box of every program, iPhoto could serve as a document-management program, too. This allowed iPhoto to become a convenient, centralized, well-organized database of documents. You could keep drafts or final copies of all your work, ready to be searched, sorted, emailed, printed, cropped, even laid out and custom published as a hardcover book (great for authors, lawyers, real estate agents, and so on).
The key to all the magic was the ?Save PDF to iPhoto? command, though Apple removed it back in Mac OS X Lion (10.7). Happily, a kind soul at the Old Toad website has created a custom script using Automator, Apple's personal automation assistant for performing repetitive or complex tasks, that they're willing to share for free.
Start by visiting www.lesa.in/iphotopdf and downloading the "Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip" and the "Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip" files. Once they're downloaded, double-click the .zip files to expand them and then place the resulting files in the Macintosh HD➝Library➝PDF Services folder (there's no need to restart any programs).
To use these scripts, start in the program where you?ve done the work: a word processor, database, layout program, sheet-music program, web design program, whatever. Choose File➝Print. In the Print dialog box, click the PDF button. From the pop-up menu, choose ?Save PDF to iPhoto? or "Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI" (pick the latter for the highest print quality).
In a moment, a funny little dialog box appears, asking which iPhoto album you want this PDF document stored in. Choose an existing album or create a new one, and then click Continue. (To get rid of the original file after it's sucked into iPhoto, turn on the "Delete the Source Images After Importing Them" checkbox.)
Over in iPhoto, you'll find the newly hatched PDF document ready for your inspection. Open it for editing just as you would any photo (see Chapter 2). Now you can page through it using the Previous and Next controls; print or send it using the toolbar controls; edit it like a graphic; apply searchable keywords, description text, or ratings to it; and so on. The only limit is your imagination.

Apple no longer sells iDVD. My new iMac does not have it and the Apple store says that I cannot buy it. How do I make a DVD that will play on a standard DVD player hooked to a television set?

Note from the Author or Editor:
page 179, please add the following note at the bottom of the page, beneath the last sentence:

Note: Apple stopped including iDVD in their iLife '11 software package, as they apparently believe everyone has high-speed Internet access and can therefore share photos via iCloud, they're subscription online service (previously dubbed MobileMe). Currently you have two solutions: find a copy of iDVD on eBay or Amazon and hope it works with your current operating system or use iMovie instead, as the sidebar on page 178 explains. Bummer!

please add the SAME note on page 297 above the first subhead "The iDVD Slideshow"
