Imovie events out of order

Since ive upgraded to imovie  in Maverick all of my events are not in order according to dates the clips were taken.  They all out of order. is there an easy way to have the events in order according to date the video clips were taken?

Unfortunately this appears to be a bug in 10.0. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5468703?tstart=0

  • IPhoto 9.3 - all EVENTS out of order, random key photos, some empty.

    Since iPhoto 9.3 update, all Events folders at top of Source List are showing correctly as thumbnails - correct order (manual), key photos - no probs. But they're also further down the S'List, under another EVENTS, this time out of order. When I go to full screen view to access ALBUMS thumbnails, the Events are above them, looking like Albums (stack of white framed photos), in random order, with random key photos, and some are empty. Also, on this view only, scrolling is not working properly.

    I have had the same problem... not to mention I made it worse trying to reset my manual settings for iphoto!!!!
    Now all of my stuff on my comupter is out of order!! : ( It will take me months to fix this. I often use iphoto on my ipad for work and it looks like that is not going to happen now!
    I am very unhappy about this apple people!

  • Iphoto imported into events out of order

    I did not state the problem very well the first time.  My pictures I just imported, showed up at the bottom with the correct dates when I viewed them as "photos" under Library on the left; but when I choose to view Events; they show up with among other events from 2010 or 2009.  WHY?   This has happened with several imports in the last 2 weeks.  All dates of photos are correct, but Iphoto places them among events created 2 or 3 years ago.

  • IOS 8 Photos events out of order

    Is there a way to get the photo events sorted in the photos app ?
    When selecting a background photo the events are sorted correctly, also in other photo apps.
    It seems to be only with the photos app the events and faces are not sorted.

    Everyone please report this to Apple; you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Right now, there's no dropdown selection for iOS 8, but I selected "iOS 7.1.2" and wrote this in the comments after describing the issue: "I am using iOS 8, but there's not dropdown selection for iOS 8 on the following question, so I picked iOS 7.1.2.."  Also, for me, the Submit button wasn't there, but it is located to the right of where it says, "Please read Apple’s Unsolicited Idea Submission Policybefore you send us your feedback."
    Hopefully the more people that report this, the more quickly they will fix this.

    when downloading from my PD 150 to the event window in my iMovie the clips are out of order and split into many subclips. Very frustrating

    Nevermind, somehow it's magically back in order.

  • I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?

    I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?

    The one iin the Photos ➙ Adjust Date and Time menu option:
    checkbox below:

  • In iMovies, can I arrange the events in date order, i.e. year and/or month that the movies relate to?

    In iMovies, can I arrange the events in the Events Library in date order, e.g. 1994 - Sports Day; 1991 - John's christening; 1993 - Christmas?

    If you import from a digital camera or camcorder, iMovie will automatically store your events in date order.
    However, if you imported clips from an analog camcorder, like VHS or 8MM or Hi8, iMovie does not have any metadata to work with.
    In this case, there are two ways to add back this metadata.
    The simplest way is to right click on your Event clip and select Adjust Clip Date And Time. Do this for all clips in the event.
    The other way is to name your clips before importing to imovie in this format:
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext
    where hh is hours in 24 hour time, and ext is the current file extension. If you name your clips this way, and then import to iMovie through FILE/IMPORT MOVIE then the clips will sort into the proper year.

  • After upgrading to iOS8, iPhoto Events from my Mac are out of order.

    After upgrading to iOS 8, iPhoto Events from my Mac are out of order on my & my husband's iPads and iPhones.  Anyway to get back in order or do we need to revert to prior iOS?

    iPhoto for iOS is no longer supported nor works in iOS 8 and has been dropped from further development by Apple.  This Apple document describes how to migrate photos from iPhoto to Photos: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
    It's a whole new ballgame now.  Here's some info on how the Photos apps now works.
    Your photos are still on your phone.  With iOS 8 there is no My Photo Stream or Camera Roll any more.  The MPS has been replaced with the Recent Activity album.
    The CR is replaced by the Collections mode.  The closest we can get to the Camera Roll is to turn off the Summarize Photos feature in the Settings/Photos & Camera pane and view the photos in the Collections/Moments window.
    The photos will be in chronological order when scrolled up from the bottom of the window.
    The Recent Activity album is showing the photos added in the last 30 days going back to 8/20 (today being 9/18).  In iPhoto on a Mac the My Photo Stream is showing more like 31 days, 8/19 to today, 8/20. It must be how the two devices calculate the last 30 days.
    WARNING:  If you use iTunes to sync photos between your iPhone or iPad and your Mac do not activate the iCloud Drive. Doing so will kill the capability of using iTunes to sync with your mobile device and disable Documents & Data syncing for your iCloud account on OS X Mavericks and earlier Macs, as well as iOS 7 and earlier devices.

  • Why does audio drop out when scrubbing iMovie events?

    Why. does audio drop out when scrubbing iMovie events?

    If the audio returns if you slow down scrubbing you are probably just scrubbing too quickly.

  • Input related random inputs and out of order events

    Hi My wife has a Mac Air 4,2
    It has been flawless and in good working order, with minimal applications.
    All was well until 20th Sept. Immediatly after a system update to 10.7.4  the trackpad began to show strange drag and click problems .. as if the touch pad had become hypersensitive.
    This resulted in unable to click, unable to move , drag select always activated.
    I managed with alot of patience to disable all the optional trackpad settings for point & click, Scroll & zoom and More Gestures.... but where did more gestures come from ... is that new?
    anyway ... the problem was partially solved, the track pad is now usable but still has issues.
    so i moved on to physical and noticed that the edges were dirty and the surface i cleaned with a screen wipe and clicked and blew on the trackpad to free any scum trapped on the edges. 
    I noticed that some of the surface is very polished and, those areas are marginly more senitive than the rougher areas.
    a week on I just logged in to another profile and got hit with the same issues ... and a new one ... keyboard input after rebooting: where is it! i had to wait 5 mins for input to come online. 
    This got me thinking. The problem is not 100% the trackpad, its the signal processing for realtime inputs from the keyboard and trackpad. either there has been a kernal tweak or the driver for the devices is sending too much data resulting in buffering issues. or more likly some kind of out of order buffer processing that is FUBAR'd.
    SO i check for an update: 10.7.5 securty update ... installed ... reboot ... at least I get keyboard input this time ... but the trackpad is still misbehaving... what should i do next:
    a) Is there a frimware update for the trackpad?
    b) Can I disable the new trackpad functionality completely... I dont actually want or need it
    c) Wait for the apple team to make further fixes to the kernel and drivers for touch input.
    d) go get an apple engineer to do something with the trackpad.... I have 2 weeks left of warrenty.

    thats too bad.  do you have a question you would like to ask

  • The last 2 months photos have appeared right back at the beginning of my Events out of date order aothough both my digital camera and iPhone are correctly dated

    1.     The last 2 months photos imported at intervals on seperate occasions appeared in Last Import, but then disappeared when I imported some more.  They should have come up as the latest event in Events, but they didn't.  Eventually I found them right back at the beginning of my Events.  They are dated
    1st April 2013 - 27th April 2013,
    2nd March 2013 - 18th April 2013 and
    4th May 2013 - 20th May 2013
    All my photos are correctly dated and have appeared as Events in chronological order.  How can I correct this.  I have a huge collection of 305 events = 11,000 photos = 58 GB
    2.    A number of assorted flagged photos have  also appeared as an Event right back at the beginning.
    I am using  iPhoto '11 Version 9.4.3

    In the Events mode check the View ➙ Sort menu to make sure it's set as you expected it to be.  If it's By Date ➙ Descending the latest Events will be at the top.

  • Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000  of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

    Photos.
    They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.    
    I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
    Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
    They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
    I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment)  one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
    How can I copy
    the whole library still in  "Events" to an external hard drive?
    the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
    and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
    Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
    Thanks

    UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
    Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
    Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
    So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
    I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
    Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
    Thanks, Sean.

  • Photos syncing from folder to iPhone all out of order?

    I have 2 folders synced to my iPhone 4 photo app.
    They were previous camera rolls before I set up my phone as a new device. They are all named in order and taken in order, for example IMG_001.jpg was my first picture in my old camera roll. IMG_822.jpg was the last photo taken before I did the backup, and is the last in the folder.
    The folder I am syncing from on my windows computer displays all of the pictures by filename (and because of that, by date) but when syncing with iTunes they end up on the phone ALL out of order. I can't find any rhyme or reason to how they are displaying. Most of the earlier photos show up at the beginning like they should, and the last at the bottom of the scroll appear to be mostly right, but then it's completely random from there.
    I've tried unsyncing them, removing them, and then adding them back again and nothing seems to work. I've even tried renaming the IMG_xxx numbers to different things and they still appear to sync in the same random order.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this a huge bug for someone with OCD like me? lol

    This is highly annoying.
    I have probably 15-20 Smart Albums in iPhoto 8.1.2 in OS10.6.4 that are syncing to iOS4.0
    On the old software, my Smart Albums for photos would show up AS the smart albums I created. Now they show up in the iPhone one giant mess called "Photo Library".
    I can view photos broken up under "Events" on the iPhone by specific dates, but the dates don't tell me what the name of the event was, and some Smart Albums had multiple dates grouped together in one Smart Album and I don't really want them broken out separately by date. I want them organized how I organized them...
    In short, I want my photos grouped the way I have explicitly grouped them. It used to work, it doesn't now.
    Since iOS4.0 I am also getting sync errors all the time in iTunes. "iPhone cannot be synced because the required file cannot be found." WHICH FILE??? tell me and I will delete it...
    I've rebuilt the entire database in iPhoto (took 4 hours). I've scanned iTunes and removed all broken links and duplicate files. I've scanned the hard drive with the disk tool. I've emptied the iPhone and reinstalled iOS4 on it 5 times. I've turned syncing off for all non-essential applications and stuff I don't actually sync like voice memos. Same problem.
    I think I want my iOS 3 back. I don't really like multitasking anyway, always having to turn off applications for the one or two times in a million where task switching if helpful...
    Ugh....

  • In making a "highlights" movie, using clips from different imported iMovie events, can I delete the larger iMovie event file from the Events browser and still work w the smaller clips in the Projects browser w/o having the larger files still loaded?

    I have sucessfully imported 150 Sony digital 8mm movies (each one hour in length) into iMovie as 150 iMovie events. I have since successfully converted them from their original 13 Gb (.dv) file to an exported smaller 1.3 Gb (.4mv "large file") movie that I am happy with, using the iMovie projects browser. So now I have 150 " .4mv" movies on my internal HD as well as about half of my original raw data " .dv " movies on my internal hard drive.
    Due to their large size (over 2 Tb), I do not have all the larger raw data (.dv) files on my 2Tb internal drive, just about half of them. What I want to do now is to create a new project in the Projects browser for each of my kids, and reload, starting with Tape #1, each of these larger files and do a highlights movie for each of my kids, wherein I pick out smaller clips from each 1 hour .dv iMovie event and paste them into the appropriate kid's Highlights project in the Projects browser.
    Here's my question: If I load the first 5 large files back onto my internal HD, and paste in various shorter clips into each of my kids' Highlights project, and then if I delete those first 5 large files (they are backed up on 2 other 3Tb external HDs), can I keep doing this (reloading the next 5 large .dv files to work with), and ultimately take each of my kid's Highlights project and export as a .4mv movie EVEN THOUGH the earlier large .dv files are no longer on my internal HD, OR does my iMac need to have all these larger files loaded on my internal HD for me to eventually export each of my kid's Highlights project to a .4mv movie?
    I have a 2011 era 27" iMac desktop w 2Tb HD internal and 250 Gb flash drive, and Lion OSX and iMovie 11.

    Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2  "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
    I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
    Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.
