Change Name of Event

Can someone please let me know how to change the name of an "Event" in iPhoto. After I import photos and am in the "Last Import" viewer, I click on the event name to change it. Unfortunately it seems I only have about 2.86 nanoseconds to type in a new name before the text edit window gets deselected. I can usually get about 2 characters in at a time.... THIS IS HUGELY ANNOYING!!!
Any thoughts? I would have thought this bug would have been fixed by now.

I would have thought this bug would have been fixed by now.
It probably would have been - if there were a bug - NO ONE else has reported this here
click on the events display at the top of the source pane above the last import - in the library window on the right click on the name of the event and you should be able to change it in the library window or in the information window below the source pane on the left

  • Cannot Change Name of Events in IPhoto 08

    Recently, IPhotos will no longer allow me to change the names of events. When I click on the "New Event" title I get a dialog box - but I am unable to type anything into the box.
    Any thoughts on this??
    Thanks
    Dennis

    Dennis:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open Font Book and check to make sure you have Helvetica Neue font installed. If it's there, deactivate and reactivate it. Launch iPhoto and try again. iPhoto uses Helvetica Neue for event titles and other text.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • KB fix for print document name in event logs on Server 2012 and Server 2012R2

    It appears as though the requested corrections to the documentation where never honored
    Note After you apply the hotfix or update, you can show the printed document name in the event by enabling a specific Group Policy.
    The policy name:
    Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Printers
    Allow job name in event logs 
    The Windows 8 / Server 2012 fix is:
    Event ID 307 does not show the printed document name in Windows
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2938013/en-us
    2012R2 is in the April Roll up.
    Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Update: April 2014
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355/en-us
    Alan Morris Windows Printing Team

    In my simple test, I see that the Group-Policy does exist on 2012R2 but not for 2012.
    I isolated the registry changes so I can update a 2012 only system... that text is below.
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers]
    "ShowJobTitleInEventLogs"=dword:00000001
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers]
    "ShowJobTitleInEventLogs"=dword:00000001
    I hope this helps others out since it took sometime to narrow this down. Thank you.

  • Change name of function..?

    I have 2 codes on 2 different keyframes i have just copy/pasted. I have changed all the name of functions and variables, I just need one function I don't know how to change name of.

    problem is this function, I don't really know how to give one of the function another name so they don't interfere with each other...?
    function onMetaData(iObj:Object):void {
        durationNum2 = iObj.duration;
    anyone that can help..?

    hey again
    i'm now just using
    var durationNum:Number;
    function onMetaData(iObj:Object):void {
        durationNum = iObj.duration;
    on frame 1. But it seems i've lost the randomness on frame 2. it only plays "film/film1.f4v" all the time even though i put multiply times "film/film2.f4v". Is this true, or is it just me who have been very unlucky..?
    my frame 1 looks like this at the moment:
    var timedelay:Number = 10;

  • Training & Event Management: Restrict Change to Business Event

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if there is a way to restrict change to Business Event (eg. changes to the Event Schedule) based on certain business criteria? My criteria cannot restrict by authorization.
    For eg. let say if something happens (based on business scenario), then my program will restrict the users to change details in Business Event, but they can still book Personnels to the event- so that means I can't use the LOCK/UNLOCK function.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,

    Dear,
    Oh! Sorry I did not noticed your initial post date, any how at least we can share knowledge.
    Regarding your concern about the FM, we have created function module ZHR_TRAINING_AUTH and table ZHR_TRAINING_AUTH to restrict authorization related to respective department secretaries and business event group.
    Then in Customization to create and configure the profile: go to Human Resources > Personal Management > Personal Development > Settings > Current Settings > Define Authorization Profile
    Then later on you can “Assign” this newly created profile to the users, then you are able to restrict.
    I hope this small information will help,
    Good luck

  • How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?

    How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?
    As Apple has yet to upgrade iCalendar so I can check off my events as I complete them (no, I do not want to use a task list/reminder list), I want to be able to move my events to my "completed" events calendar as I complete them. The issue is that most of my events are repeating events, and it changes the entire series. How do I change only the event I clicked on using my iPhone?
    Thanks

    If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.

  • How to change the script event?!?

    Here I have a small form with two different parts...
    The first part is a table containing many checkboxes to be able to show whatever form you want to fill up..
    All of the checkboxes create a form into a table which each row represents the form to fill-up.
    When you click 1 checkbox, it adds a row to the table with some values needed for the form..
    In that form there is a chance to have 2 or 3 radiobuttons, depending on the checkedbox which each do something different..
    the 1st one hides a new table to fill up information (under the radiobuttons),
    the 2nd one shows up the new table with some values to show instructions into labels...
    the 3rd one shows up the new table with some other values to show different instructions into labels.. (This radiobutton is only in half of the forms, so it is hidden)
    those labels must be different for each checkbox chosen
    instead of making a huge script in my radiobutton change event, and writing all the different possibilites
    i'd rather create the script depending on the checkedbox the user have chosen...
    Right now I'm using something like : this.resolveNode("...radiobuttonList").event__change.script.value = "--_ Write all the new code here_--";
    After this line is written and everything is working... I show up a messageBox to see the result which is all correct..
    But when I'm clicking on the radiobuttons nothing is working at all...
    the only code working is the initial code written in the event
    Anyone have an idea if I'm missing something?!?
    Thanks!

    Actually this is not what i was looking for, I really need to change the script...
    e.g. I have a button in a expandable table and i want each buttons to have a different messagebox....
    when the button is created a new script is assigned to the event_click...
    This is what im looking for...
    Looks like LiveCycle Designer is not able to change the scripts events even though the property is there and is a "get" & "set"
    so I should be able to change script event.... but I think i need to reload/recreate the form by using the modified code...

  • In iCal 8.0, how do I change a single event of a recurring event?

    I am using Yosemite. I have a recurring monthly event for Payroll on the 25th. But, when the 25th falls on a weekend, I change it to the previous Friday.
    To make this change, I drag the recurring event to that Friday. A popup says it will change all recurring events to that date.
    How do I just change a single event and leave the future recurring events as is?

    Without seeing your page, this seems less like a template problem and more of a design strategy problem.
    You should be building flexible pages that can handle increased content, text-sizes, image sizes, etc...
    CSS height property is a restriction in all but IE browsers.  Either remove height property from your content areas or consider using a more flexible min-height.

  • Print document's name in Event Log ID #307 on Server 2012

    Creating a new printer server using Windows Server 2012.  Everything is working out fine so far, however I just ran into one problem that didn't happen in our Server 2008R2 print server.
    When looking at print jobs that have completed under:  event logs --> Microsoft --> Windows --> PrintService --Operational, I have noticed that Event ID 307 is not displaying the printed document's name in Server 2012 (it did for Server 2008R2). 
    In Server 2012, the document name simply displays as "Print Document" instead of displaying the document's name.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to get the document's name to properly display in the event logs?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Alan,
    I have configured a Server 2012 R2 standard as print server to manage printers and Monitor the print usage of users, however I am not getting the Print logs (Event Log ID 307) in the default event logs directory on the print Server.
    I perform some search and come to know that it’s a known problem in Server 2012 and there is Hotfix available. I installed the Hotfix mentioned here
    http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2938013/en-us , but still logs are not getting generated.

  • Converting Video to iPod, can you change name of file

    When you convert Video to iPod format, can you change name of the new file or put some "marker" so one can tell which is the orginal and which is the new file?
    Currently it is difficult to tell between the orignal and the new file.
    thanks in advance
    Rohit

    You'd probably be better off doing this sort of editing in iTunes, and letting it move the files appropriately.
    Go to the preferences, Advanced tab, and check the box to 'Keep iTune Music folder organized'. Then any changes you make to song names or other info (within iTunes) will automatically be applied.

  • Should I name each individual picture in an event or just name the event?

    I could use some advise from those out there that really know how to organize their photos in iPhoto.
    Should I name each individual picture in an event or just name the event?  The individual photos all have the typical camera file names (ex: 134-234.jpeg) when imported and in an event, but to be more organized, do most (or some) people re-name each photo in an event AND name the event?  For example:
    Bob's Birthday Party on Saturday:  25 photos uploaded into iPhoto.  I named the event "Bob's 38th Birthday" but all of the 25 photos just have random numbered names.  I'd like to know who was in the photos so 10 years from now I can remember who I was standing next to.  Keywords for the event would not help (from what I understand) in this instance because I wouldn't know which of those keyword names went with what photo (ex: people's name that were in the different photos), because the keyword is for the entire event...right?  Not the individual photo?  But aside from keywords...
    1.     Should I name every single photo?  If yes,...how?  ex:  "Bob & me next to pool.jpeg" and "Bob and me in kitchen.jpeg"
    2.     Is there a "rule" to how long a photo name can be or how to type it"  "Bob and me by the pool at carol's house.jpeg" seems ridiculous, but how do you get all the pertinent info for that one photo so you remember who and where.
    3.     If I am naming each photo and there are different photos but with the same person do I name it "Bob and me 1.jpeg" "Bob and me 2.jpeg" so two similar photos don't have the same name?
    4.      If I go to a concert and have 68 photos are people taking the time to name each one?
    My main question is about actually naming photos, and how best to name if there are lots of photos in an event, not keywords, etc.  I seem to find a lot of information on keywords and naming events, but not on naming the actual individual photos.
    Thanks so much for any advice.
    P.S.  First time ever posting a question, so please be kind

    Totally wrong way to go about it
    You want to use albums and folders not events
    Sorry Larry, but I respectfully disagree. Events are a fine way to organize photos. And for me, organizing by event is more natural than using albums and folders.
    I do agree that the OP is totally going about it the wrong way. And to that, I'll paste a response I always use for this question:
    Here is how I go about using iPhoto:
    Import photos.
    Delete junk.
    Split or combine events as needed. I tend to be an Event minimalist. For example, I don’t make the photos I took of my daughter at McDonald’s an event. Things like that get grouped into a “Winter 2014” event. Christmas photos often span a month or more, from cutting the tree to packing everything up, and they all get lumped into one of three “Christmas” events based on the branch of the family they relate to..
    Set Keywords. I try to keep my keyword list to a minimum. For example, I have a keyword for “Vacation”, but I don’t use keywords for the location of the vacation (that’s taken care of with the Places feature). Another example: I have a keyword for “Birthday”, but I don’t have keywords for the person or the year (those are taken care of with the Faces feature, and the fact that all the photos are dated already).
    Rate the best as 4 or 5 stars, and if I need to keep a bad photo for some reason, I rate it as 1 star. I don’t bother rating photos as 2 or 3 stars, but you can if you want.
    Name the Faces. I only do this with the people I care about and delete the box around people that I don’t care about (this prevents them from showing up as suggestions when you’re viewing a person’s photos).
    Set the location. This is very important for travel photos, but is also handy for others as well. If you want a really good reason to set the travel photos, pick a trip, do the work of setting the location of each photo, and then start the Travel slide show. The Travel slide show is really cool!
    Now, with all this info set (called metadata in computer parlance), I can use Smart Albums to great effect.
    I have a smart album that contains all photos of my daughter that I’ve rated as 5 starts. This album is automatically synched to my iPhone, my wife’s iPhone, my iPad, and our AppleTV. Every time I import a photo into iPhoto and mark my daughter’s face and rate the photo as five stars, the photo is automatically sent to all our devices when we synch. Super easy!
    I have smart albums with Christmas photos for each branch of our family. So, when someone comes over for the holidays, I can easily show that part of the family’s Christmas photos on the TV. We don’t just sit around and watch the slide show all night, but the photos are there if people want to look and they add a nice touch to an otherwise empty sheet of dark glass. So, the Jones Christmas smart album has photos from 1972 to present, and only contain Jones family Christmas photos.
    That's just a few things to keep in mind. I've found that combining Events and Smart Albums with Faces, Places, Keywords, and Ratings makes finding photos very easy.
