Iphoto 11 reordered my events and pictures is there a fix?

When I upgraded to iphoto 11 it seemed to redefine the chronological order making it very difficult to find events and photos. Is there a setting that would have caused this or does iphoto11 treat time stamps differently than previous versions

Brand new MacBook Pro w/Retina Display, PSE11 looks like a mess, bad resolution, pixelated fonts and pictures, is there a fix for this? This is a major, major issue for me as I use PSE all...the...time! Thx.

Just purchased a brand new MBP, and all programs look awesome on it except the one software program where crisp display is required - PSE11. I really need to know my options, is this a fix in the near future? Is PSE12 retina display friendly? Any other options? Thank you.

I am not a Mac user, but your problem is the same with other HDPI high resolution displays.
See that discussion on the feedback forum:

Nobody can tell if future versions will solve the problem, but don't expect a fix for PSE12.

I completely disagree about the 'crisp display' requirement. Photo editing on computers has its own requirements which do take into account the practical resolution of the display, its size and viewing distance and the fact that you have to work alternatively on the whole image or the pixel level. Working comfortably without straining your eyesight means a lot of things including display size and viewing distance (good : 24 to 27" at 80 - 100 cm) with optimal resolution : 1920 x 1200; good colour fidelity and absence of reflections.
If you compare side by side HDPi vs more standard displays, you won't see the difference in a normal editing session, only if you look closely for a long time at a still image.
Standard displays are crisp enough, don't be fooled by the marketing trick of the higher figures. Even 1920 x 1200 resolution is more than enough for a 15" display. Spend the price difference on a good and comfortable. external display. Make use of the shortcuts to quickly zoom and pan in your images.

IPhoto events and pictures missing from iPhoto after restoring new hard drive and upgrade to iLife11

My iPhoto events and pictures are ALL missing from my iPhoto Library after I tried restoring my programs on a new hard drive AND upgrading to iLife11! Over the last few months, I upgraded my 2008 Macbook Pro's hard drive from a 250 GB to a 500 GB hard drive and since then have been manually installing and restoring programs and software. I decided to do things manually because I had problems with doing Time Machine backups/restores in the past, so before I upgraded the drive, I manually saved everything to a Western Digital MyStudio 1 TB hard drive that I had just for the purposes of a second back up. Anyway, I tried importing the pictures onto the new library, but couldn't find the hard copies at first, so that didn't work. I then tried deleting the iPhoto Library that came with new operating system, then copying my old backup onto the new hard drive...that didn't work either. However, when I right clicked on the iPhoto Library icon on my external hard drive (the original) and clicked on "show package contents," the folder not only contained the originals, but they were still organized by year and event just as I had them originally!
So, then I thought "why don't I try just importing the pictures directly into the new iPhoto Library!"
I tested it out, and sure enough, it worked! I then tried importing an entire folder (which, was actually the name of the event), and again it worked! So, I literally clicked and dragged my entire 2007-2009 library of pictures (which was about 35 GB) back into my iPhoto Library! AND, this only took about 30 minutes to download, enough time for me to write this post and the following instructions to Recap:
          1. Open your new iPhoto Library
          2. Go to wherever your ORIGINAL iPhoto Library is saved/backed up, then Right-click (or Control click) on the iPhoto icon
          3. Click on "Show Package Contents"
          4. Go to the folder called "Originals" or "Master"
          5. Click and drag everything INSIDE the folder (not the folder itself) to your new iPhoto Library
          6. DO NOT try Importing from inside iPhoto! For some reaseon, iPhoto can't see these images, but I promise, they're there!
I assume this could work on other iLife programs, but luckily I have MobileMe and my iCalendar updated itself, though I did have to do some tweeking...
Hope this helps other people out, GOOD LUCK!

I'm re-posting the answer to this problem so I can show it has been answered:
Open your new iPhoto Library

When I open Iphoto 11 I see the events and pictures but when I try to open them some photos gives me aTriangle and inside is a ( ! ) in side

When I open Iphoto 11 I see the events and pictures and I can open some pictures but the mayority wont open , when the open it is a triangle with ( ! ) insiteI need some help. I olso end up with a lot of dupplicates pictures it is frustrairing

That happens when iPhoto breaks the file path/link to the original image file. Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I see events and pictures, but when I try to open a picture, iPhoto quits

Hello, I need help. Everything seems to work fine with iPhoto9, I see events and pictures. When I click on one picture to edit it, iPhoto quits. Whatever the photo, iPhoto keeps in quitting. Thank you in advance.

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem is not repeated in the new, test library the problem lies in your current library.
If that is the case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When I download photos from a flash drive,everything is fine and they show in Events and Pictures, but when I click on the individual pic I get an error message saying that it cannot locate the JPG. Any thoughts?

It sounds like your iPhoto Advanced preferences are set to not copy photos during import, i.e. a Referenced library:
Check your Advanced preferences to see if that's the case. If it is the best solution would be to select the checkbox to copy the photos and reimport the photos from the flash drive. Then check the new import. It it was OK you can delete the previous event with the "missing" photos.

The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix?

The recent IOs 7.1 has been slow and unstable on both my iPad and iPhone, is there a fix? It is very slow, e.g copy and paste from a browser.
iPhone 5 & iPad gen 4

I restarted my phone as suggested and it is still happening.
My phone just blacks out at its own will as if the battery went dead then the apple logo appears and it restarts on it's own but my battery was still at 30% when it restarted. So that made no sense. When I try to type in my password it freezes up before I can get all of the characters in. I still hear the clicks of my tapping on the keyboard but nothing is changing on the screen. When I hit the enter button on accident it vibrated to tell me my password was incorrect but still the screen was frozen with my previous entry of the first 5 characters on the screen.
I am becoming concerned that I may have a very expensive paperweight now.
My husband has the same phone and his is working fine after the initial reboot.

Iphoto 09 open event from picture after search

ok so if I search iphoto 09 by a particular word and find a picture, I can sometimes see the picture is part of an event that has other pictures, but how do I show the whole event? Drives me mad eg If I search for 'tv' I can get a picture (see link below) & see there are 60 other pictures in the folder. However if I right click I can't see any suitable choice to open the entire event. If I double click the event or picture it does nothing if I'm in the situation I show below. (The preferences are set that double click would open event it says). The double-click does open the event if I am looking overall at all the events (ie haven't searched by keyword). I don't have 'show event' as an option when right clicking either (I keep seeing references to this when googling)
eg I click on 'Events' top left (so all events are visible on the main screen) then search for 'tv' in the search box, it displays as above eg I can see there are 60 pictures within that event, yet if I right-click there is no 'Show Event' option. Show event is not even a greyed out option.

Hello mook,
So if I understand:
1.) The goal is to restore the iPhoto Library from a point before the issues started happening
2.) When you try to go backwards in Time Machine while inside the iPhoto window you get a blank Library when you get to the date range you want.
What to do:
- As you cannot seem to access the iPhoto contents using the iPhoto window I would suggest the following:
1.) Navigate using the Finder to ~/Pictures (or whatever folder you are currently housing your iPhoto Library in)
2.) Rename the current iPhoto Library to something else (Like iPhoto Library Old etc)
3.) While looking at this Pictures window, activate Time Machine and go back in time to a date when YOU ARE SURE iPhoto was working fine and had the images you want
4.) Click on the iPhoto Library in the Time Machine window and click on Restore
-- This will restore the Library from the date in question
-- You will have 2 libraries once the restore is complete. The freshly restored library and the old library. Keep the old library just for safe keeping until such time as you determine you have all the pictures you want. Then you can do whatever you want with it (trash it, etc)
Hope that helps.

IPhoto automatically imported EVENT and its photos?

I imported some photos into iPhoto on my MacBook Air this weekend while away. This morning (I'm back home), I started the MacBook Air with the intent of copying the imported photos to my iMac and eventually into the iPhoto library. So the Air is running, but iPhoto is not running on the Air.
I open iPhoto on my iMac. While navigating back to the All Events display, I notice a new event that I created on my MacBook Air ("Easter 2014") pops up on my iMac. I open that event and there are two photos in it. Puzzled, I scratch my head and another photo is added to the event. "Am I looking at the photostream?" I ask myself. No. This is a new event. After a minute or two, all the photos from the same event on my MacBook Air show up on my iMac in the same event.
So this event from the Air is automatically duplicated into my iMac's iPhoto Library, except for the video files. So just like photostream, except this is not in the typical photostream created event name, such as Apr 2014 Photostream.
I can see this being a huge feature, but I'm not sure how it happened. Anyone else experience this?

Easter 2014
Here were the exact steps:
So before I left, there were 20 departure photos that were in both libaries, referenced by iPhoto.
While out of town, on the MacBook Air, I created the event "Easter 2014." I moved the 20 relevant photos out of Apr 2014 photostream event into this new event. So now these 20 photos exist in both libraries, but on the Air, they are in a new event call "Easter 2014"
I then imported, while out of town, about 14 more photos and 3 videos from an SD card into the Air iPhoto library and merged the imported event into "Easter 2014"
This morning, while back at home, I started the MacBook Air but did not start iPhoto. I then started iPhoto on the iMac. In Finder, I navigated to the photos on the Air and copied them. I went to the folder on the iMac that already had 20 photos in it and pasted the additional photos and videos. I then realized that my camera had started over sequentially with the use of a new SD card, so there were duplicate names in the destination. I skipped overwriting and then pressed cmd-z to undo the copy. While contemplating how to handle this, I brought iPhoto to the front and viewed all of the events, that were sorted by date descending (newest on top.) I noticed an event on the iMac, "Easter 2014" and opened it. There were two photos that were only on the Air and in the Photostream. As I contemplated this, another photo was added, then another until all the photos (but no videos).
Just now, I thought maybe the paste action in Finder while iPhoto was open might have triggered iPhoto to believe those photos were "moved" from the Photostream (since they had the same file name and were already there.)
That's my only guess. Since the original event photos were referenced, and the photos that magically appeared are NOT referenced, I can only assume this is what happened. The photos did not become "unlinked" (If that's the right word) when I "undid" the paste of the photos, they are still present inside the library package.
But I think it is bad guess -- because I've always assumed iPhoto has no association of the name of a folder with an event (in Finder, not in the library package.)

Burning Events and pictures to disc

I am new to Mac.
I downloaded all my pictures from my old PC.
I organized them into Events.
I'd like to save them to disc as Events. They are now well organized.
How do I save them just like the Events has them?
Thank you for the help.
Mike

PigJubby
If you want to simply archive your PICTURES, not the library or the way you have them organised?
Then select the pics in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export them to a folder on the desktop. Then use the Finder (file -> Burn) to burn them to the disk.
If you want to back up your LIBRARY - that is your Pics in the Events and Albums you have - then use the Share -> Burn command in iPhoto.

Pics not showing up in "Events" AND "pictures" but "Finder" sees them ok

I am missing some events (with photos) from iPhoto. These pics are also missing from the pictures tab. Finder can locate them on the HD and seemingly has them located in the iPhoto folder. I have tried to import them from Finder and a warning pops up and says "Photos are already in the iPhoto library". Everyone I have asked seems to think it is impossible for the photos to not be shown in the pictures tab.
Any help is appreciated.

I am a newbie to apple . . . .can u tell?

I am having exactly the same problem as is described above -- I will import a bunch of pictures from a camera to iphoto '09 (8.1.2 (424)), I'll split them into multiple events, and then sometimes one of the events won't show up on the main events listing. If I search for the event by its name in iphoto, I can find it. And all of its pictures are in the photos view. But the event doesn't show up in the default listing.
I tried Option 1, but it didn't work -- I know of at least 2 events that still didn't show up.
I then tried Option 2, and it took *over 2 days* to re-process everything (I have 738 events with 28,056 photos and camera movies). This is on an imac 2.8 ghz core 2 duo; not the fastest, but not the slowest, either.
Option 2 seems to have worked -- I now see the 2 events that were missing before.
But just be aware that it may take a long, long time to rebuild and copy everything.

IPhone 4 keyboard freeze, runs slow and crashes - is there a fix?

Not been able to use my iPhone 4 for over a week now originally due to the screen freezing on "enter passcode" page. The probelm has escalated to keyboard and generally unable to use the handset in any reliable way. Please point me in the right direction to fixing this.
Symptoms and log of activities in chronological order;
- the arrow freezes when "slide to unlock". This would persist over a period of time (a day to 7-8 days), first incident around April. After many manual resets, able to access without the arrow freezing. Observed that this kept happening after the iPhone has been switched off.
- the above problem returned last week after the device was switched off then back on. This time, the arrow freezed for 15-30 seconds then "enter passcode" page appeared. The keyboard that appears is unresponsive so nothing happens when you press the buttons. The text entry cursor does not blink. iPhone eventually crashes with a spinning loading sign on freeze.
- cannot switch off phone, unless with hard reset by holding the home + on/off buttons. - the same issue returns immediately.
- restoring iPhone (first time) - required to update to IOS 5.1.1. Still the problem persists
- appointment with Genius bar - explained the problem. Does not take a look at the handset once but offers a replacement at a cost.
- Suspect it might be a glitch rather than a hardware damage (it's only under 8 months old) so attempts another restore. This time, set up/configure screen comes up on the device. Chooses not to set passcode. Screen is responsive, able to choose launguage, country etc... Hope returns, it actually seems to be working. Slide to unlock, takes 15-30 seconds but does unlock. Able to open and delete emails and SMS texts. Apps such as facebook seems to be working although generally everything is slow.
- HOWEVER, keyboard across all apps unresponsive and text entry cursor does not blink. The apps crashes then returns to home screen.
- Deleted emoji international keyboard in the hope that the keyboard problem would go away.
- After a number of crashes, the screen is black. The Backlight of the screen is on but unable to switch off or do hard reset.
From deduction, the problem seems to be with the keyboard across all apps.
Has anyone had similar problems and did you find any fixes?
I really don't want to have to pay for another replacement so please please, do share your knowledge. Thank you

Hi linkslice,
Funny you say that... the iPhone's audio out was playing up, not recognising the headphone. I switched the iPhone off to shine some light down it to see if something had gone down it and that's how the problem of rebooting itself started.
I took it into Apple store yesterday to the Genius bar and they carried out a few tests. They suspected it to be a software issue but the diagnostic returned clean so uploaded new firmware. The problem still persisted so they had to look inside. He returned 10 mins later with the following results; all looked fine on the inside, once put back together, the screen was not responsive and rebooting continuously. They couldn't figure out what was wrong with it so I've now got a replacement handset which is working fine after a restore from backup.
I suggest you take it into the store to have it looked at. Let us know if there was a solution to yours.
Thanks all for your help.

How to move my events and pictures from mobileme

Hello
I just reinstalled the mac osx from scratch and also installed the applications dvd,including iphoto.After syncing with my mobileme account and launching iphoto ,i can see all the event names on the left side bar under the "MOBILEME GALLERY "and when i click on any of them ,after seeing the mobileme turning wheel ,the photos of that perticular event appear on the right side and then the cloud icon shows next to that event name again,but after that transaction takes place for each single event,when i click on the "LIBRARY" events or photos ,nothing appears on the right side.
My question is ,when we sync with our mobile me gallery ,aren't we supposed to get our photos back to the computer's library automatically?
and if not ,how do we get the photos and iphotos library and events back to a freshly installed operating system.
thanks in advance.

My question is ,when we sync with our mobile me gallery ,aren't we supposed to get our photos back to the computer's library automatically?
No - you need to drag the photos for the MoblieMe galleries to the library
and if not ,how do we get the photos and iphotos library and events back to a freshly installed operating system.
The best way would be to load the backup you made just before erasing your drive and installing OS X
