How to make New Events appear at TOP of page, not Bottom?

When I import photos, they are automatically put into a new Event. That's great. But that Event appears way at the bottom of my long events list, even though my Events are shown chronologically with the most recent events right at the top. I have to drag the new event all the way through dozens of older events in order to bring it up to the top, where I can figure out which other event folders those new images might belong (ex: "family photos, Fall 2008").
This isn't the biggest problem in the world, but I'd love to know how to set iPhoto to create the new event at the top of the list instead of the bottom. Any help? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the View->Sort menu select Descending. However that will also have the photos in the Photos mode be sorted descending. In the Event mode you can sort the events in one direction and the photos in those events in the other. In the Photos mode both the Events and photos are sorted the same direction.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • "Make new event" greyed out

    Two questions:
    After selecting photos, I cannot get "make new event" to appear as anything other than greyed out and inaccessible. How do I get tihs to be available?
    Second question: Is there a way of hiding photos in the library that does not hide them after they have been sorted into albums or events etc?
    Thanks for help. The transition to Mac from IBM can be painful, but as we all know, "Resistance is futile."

    It is a sort of gmail account.
    It is Virginmedia email which is run by gmail.
    I have given up on Google things apart from the basic search. They have made things so complicated I have no idea what is happening and you can never contact anyone to sort it out and I have found their forums useless.
    I used most of the products they have bought before hand and I ended up with about 6 google accounts. I managed to get it down to about 3 but now I avoid it if at all possible.
    I don't think virginmedia really know how the system works.
    I have 2 email adresses I use and eventually I got the first one to work ok on Thunderbird nut I had a lot of trouble getting the other to work and then suddenly it appeared on Thunderbird, I still have no idea how it happened but it works in a completely different way to the first address.

    If you are on iOS 5+ and it's an IMAP type account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that you currently have on your email account. If it's a POP type account then you won't get the Edit button, and you are limited to the folders that you currently have.

  • How to make a button appear boxed in when clicked

    For my Prototyping class I have to make an interactive fast food ordering system. I have majority of frames made I just need to add the interactive part to it. I am using AS2 in Flash CS3. I have the picture and the text grouped and are classified as a button. I want to make it so that when the picture or text is clicked it will make a black box appear around it, making it 'selected'. I've tried to add an Event Listener but couldn't figure out how to make the box appear on it. Any suggestions?
    These pictures are basically what I'm trying to accomplish.
    Keep in mind, I'm a Flash newbie, I have a probably 3 hours experience with Flash.
    But I do have knowledge of basic Java commands, so I can understand code.
    Thanks,
    Dudejoe04

    Onw way would be to create the buttons as movieclips so that when they are selected you move the movieclip's timeline to a rame that shows the rectangle around it.  Another way would be to have the movieclips as separate objects that you make appears when its associated button is clicked.  There are likelynumerous other possibilities.

  • How to make new line in JButton.setText()?

    how to make new line in JButton.setText()?
    I want to set the text of jbutton in tow line ,as follows
    | jbutton-line1 |
    | xxxxxxx-line2 |
    i konw i can jbtton.settext("<html>line1<br>line2</html>");
    but i find it's ugly using html,
    is there anyother way to create new line in JButton's Text

    As for the above comment....
    I thought the question was well purposed. Using HTML was not acceptable in this instance, which was made clear, so why critisize his comments? "Using HTML" is a poor solution, it does NOT work in many instances due to browser, OS variations. Usually the "common answer" is never a COMPLETE answer.
    Possible Solution:
    Use JLabels to render the text on the button.
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class ButtonMaker {
    public static void makeButton(JButton jb, String[] titleList) {
    jb.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    for (int i = 0; i < titleList.length; i++) {
    JLabel tmpLabel = new JLabel(titleList);
    tmpLabel.setForeground(Color.black);
    jb.add(tmpLabel);
    public static void clearButton(JButton jb) {
    Component[] cList = jb.getComponents();
    for (int i = 0; i < cList.length; i++) {
    if (cList[i] instanceof JLabel)
    jb.remove(cList[i]);
    Known Limitations:
    1. Flowlayout does not work well with single line text buttons... perhaps another layout manager may work better for various buttonsizes-linenumber combos.
    2. Mac OSX : The default UI for Mac OS X (and above it seems), is to have rounded edged buttons. These rounded edges are destoryed when using JLabels, leaving a square, blocky button in its place.
    POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
    (this is ugly and time consuming)
    - create images of the button with text on them.

    To delete a bookmark from your bookmark toolbar, point at the bookmark with your mouse or trackpad, then right-click on it (press the right-hand button on your mouse or trackpad) and choose "Delete" from the pop-up menu.
    For other ways of deleting bookmarks, see '''[[Deleting Bookmarks]]'''.

  • Why do new events appear at the top of my library?

    In older version of iPhoto, when you imported photos, it would make a new event at the bottom of your library where I wanted it to be
    In the new version, when importing it places new events right at the top of my library, meaning I have to go all the way up to the top and drag them back down to the bottom
    How can i get it so new events are placed at the bottom of the events window when imported like in old versions?

    There are so many instances of what Andy describes and so many responses like yours - "Take what comes!" What sort of an approach is that?
    The point is that you are wrong to say that if you are on Manual, you should just put up with it.  The previous version placed the new Event in perfect (end) position - so clearly this is an Apple oversight during revision.  It doesn't even place the newcomer at the very top - always second from left.
    I have already placed feedback, as have countless others, but surely this site is for talking it over with one's peers?
    I just didn't want Andy to get the door shut in his face by your response.
    I will now get on my white horse and ride into the sunset knowing that my job is done here .......

  • Is there a way to make new bookmarks appear at the top of a menu folder instead of the bottom?

    I know of an extension that will sort bookmarks for me by reverse-date-added but then newly added bookmarks will still be added to the bottom until resorted. Since the newest bookmarks are ones that we most often use, I'm not sure why the default is to have to scroll all the way down to get to them. Thanks!

    Sorry, that's the default action and there isn't a hidden preference to change that action, without installing an extension.
    When I want to save a new bookmark near the top of the list, I open the Bookmarks Sidebar - {Ctrl + B} - and drag the website image ''(Favicon)'' from either the Location bar or the Tab into the spot in the Sidebar that I want the new bookmark to be located, to save that new bookmark. That "drag'n'drop" also works with the Bookmarks Menubar drop-down; that action will open the Bookmarks menu.
