Iphoto, Creating events and Albums

I have attempted to create events and albums on the photo app in Ipad with no success. I have also synced the iPad to itunes and transfered pictures from an existing iphoto (macbook pro) event with no success. How can i create events and albums on the Ipad so i can seperate new pictures into specific areas for viewing.

You can't. Photos on the iPad doesn't have organising features. You can't create groupings, or copy from one event/whatever to another. You have limited features in the 'camera roll' for images you've saved onto the iPad - you can delete them or share them.
Your organising has to be done on the Mac in iPhoto or Aperture. Both create Events based on metadata from the image (date and time and so on). You can make albums and sync the albums to the iPad.
I know that isn't what you want, but it's all we've got. It bears repeating - the iPad is not a completely standalone device - it's dependent on a desktop and iTunes for its full functionality.

  • Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

    I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11.  However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option.  Is there any way to do this?

    I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
    iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
    Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
    However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
    I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.

    If I transfer iphoto library from a hard disk to a new iMac will all my events and albums stay unchanged?

    They should, yes.  You should have a full and complete backup as well, of course.

  • Another way to look at Events and albums (smart and dumb)

    Maybe this will help others, but I had an epiphany regarding iPhoto 08 and the organizational method (or lack there of) in regards to Events and albums, etc.
    Here it goes: iPhoto is now iTunes for pictures. I know it has been said before, but this time it truly is.
    When you import a CD with iTunes, it creates a directory of songs in your library. When you import a group of pictures in iPhoto, it similarly imports them as an event. Events = CD's, plain and simple.
    Think of searching for photos the same way you would search for songs. By typing in the artist, the album the specific title - etc you can easily find a song. With events, all the pictures are linked to the title of the event, so searching is very easy and fast.
    Gone are the days of complicated hierarchy systems in Winamp or iPhoto 06. If you want a photo, you type the name of the event - or a keyword tagged into the photo.
    But say you want some albums of specific songs, or in this case, photos. You can create albums or smart albums to accomplish this for quick access. Or maybe a Christmas album that automatically updates with every christmas photo entered and tagged.
    I am an Aperture user and all my folders are setup like this:
    Vacations --> Beach --> Florida --> 2007
    If I switched to iPhoto, they will be created in a simple event, for example:
    Florida Beach Vacation 2007
    Now every picture within that event name would be searchable by typing in florida, beach etc. Even deeper, by tagging individual photos by the person's name or any other photo-specific info, these pics would even be more searchable.
    Anyway, I hope this helps some people grasp the new concepts of organization in iPhoto 08. Surely it can be done several different ways, but I think this may be the best way to do it.

    Events = CD's, plain and simple.
    Great analogy! May I then add,
    Albums = playlists
    I see people here asking why a photo can't be in an album and in No event; perhaps the iTunes analogy would be helpful to them. If you don't have the song in your library (because you don't have that CD) then you can't put it in a playlist. (Nevermind that you can download single songs now - it doesn't fit the analogy. Remember when you had to buy the hard copy.)
    Thanks for the information.
    Regards.

  • HELP! Recovered iphotolibrary lost ALL events and albums?!

    Without a clear reason and absolutely no warning, iPhoto (on my brand new MacBookPro with all current updates etc.) suddenly showed '0' photos in my <80t photo library. After the itinial panic I was able to 'recover' the photos with 'recover library' option by Option+open. To my shock the entire photo library has been 'recovered' in a single 'recovered photos' event. Total catastrophe.. Could someone please have an idea how to get iPhoto to find the previous event and album hierarch? Grateful for ANY tips out there. Thank you!!

    You can try rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    If that doesn't help then there is no fix, I'm afraid.

  • Aperture-sorted event and album images out of order

    I am syncing events and albums from Aperture to my iPad through iTunes. In iOS iPhoto the images within these events and albums have a seemingly random sort order, rendering the application useless to me. The sort order is fine in the iOS Photos application, so I am thinking it is a problem with iOS iPhoto. Anyone have a fix for this? I thought it would surely be fixed in the new update, but it was not. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iOS iPhoto, have unsynced and resynced albums, etcetera.
    I know this pertains to old threads, but couldn't find one that was coherent. Hopefully this one is.

    I have no fix to offer as I am affected by it too. I posted one of the original threads on this and have used the Apple report a problem system to report it too. I am amazed this issue wasn't addressed in the update. It makes iPhoto on the iPad unusable for me.
    I've just submitted repeat feedback on the problem to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html

  • How to quickly compare photos in events and albums?

    Hi there,
    Was wondering - I have a ton of photos from several years in my iphoto events/general photos, of which the good ones are arranged neatly into iphoto albums.
    Problem is, I want to clean up my iphotos and get rid of all the extra photos that aren't very good and didn't make it into an album. In other words, if the photo was worth keeping, it's already in an album, so I just want to delete everything from my events that's not in an album. However, is there any easy way to go through the events and find out which photos are already in an album so that I can delete them if they aren't? I understand that if I delete photos from events, it will also delete it from the album, so that makes it really annoying and tricky.
    It would take so, so long to go through every single photo and flip back and forth between events and albums to see which ones are in albums and which ones aren't. From what I can tell (unless I'm wrong), I can't even open two windows of iphoto so I can compare side by side.
    If anyone knows a solution, I would be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Tracy

    File -> New Smart Album
    Album -> Is not -> Any
    will find them for you.
    Option-command-delete will move them to the trash
    Empty the iPhoto trash.
    Empty the System trash and they are gone.
    One tip: delete in batches of about 100 or so. Deleting more at a time can cause problems.

  • Sync Events AND Albums ?

    Is there a trick to get both Events and Albums listed on the ATV?
    I use allways Events which contain all the pictures available and sometimes an Album with a selection for slide show. Would be nice to see both Event and Album on the large screen....
    kind regards
    Werner

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    I'm afraid there is no way to sync both albums and events.
    You could always make smart albums that reflect events or just albums that reflect events, but I guess that's not what your are after.

    HT1229: iPhoto: How to move the Library folder to a new location
    I have installed all Programs on new drive and want to bring in my iPhotos including faces and albums etc. Could I transfer iPhotos from the old drive (in an external caddy) using copy, and paste into the new system??
    I have copied all the photos but now these do not carry all the Albums, Face names etc.
    The old system (which was running agonisingly slow) had been updated to Lion from Snow Leopard but the current new install of Snow Leopard will not allow the upgrade to Lion.
    Any advice appreciated

    The old system (which was running agonisingly slow) had been updated to Lion from Snow Leopard but the current new install of Snow Leopard will not allow the upgrade to Lion.
    Are you sure your Macbook meets the hardware requirements for Lion?
    In order to install Mac OS X 10.7 you will need:
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended

  • HT4362 iPhoto 9.4.2:  why it is impossible to display slide shows on an Apple TV (only events and albums)?

    Hi all,
    I have iPhoto 9.4.2 and an AppleTV (2nd generation).
    On the AppleTV I have no problems in playing pictures stored in the iPhoto library when the pictures are organized in an Event or in an Album, but when my pictures are organized in a Slide Show, they aren't visible in the AppleTV.
    My purpose is to play on the AppleTV a slide show with exactly the same picture sequence and music I've set up in the Slide Show settings on my Mac...
    I know that in theory I could use an Album, but unfortunately the AppleTV does not retain the picture sequence and the music...

    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 does not appear with the new library the old library is the culprit.
    In that case  make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) 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.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto '08: Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Gallery & Slideshows ???

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and I am confused.
    I must admit I used iPhoto before to look at my pictures but I never bothered with any albums or slideshows or whatever, but now with more and more pictures I need to organize.
    So this new iPhoto comes with all sorts of way to organize such as Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Galleries & Slideshows. Quiet frankly I am LOST as to what to use when or for what ???
    Okay I can get Web Galleries is for posting on the .mac as a gallery. Why did they do this again if you iWeb that creates photo pages???? Why is this not integrated in iWeb????
    Now moving on. What's the difference between Events, (Smart Albums) and Slideshows. They seem to be ways to organize your photos. BUT why have THREE of them? When to use which one?
    Any help or comment appreciated as I am confused ....

    Events, Smart Albums, Albums and slideshows are different. Here is a short explanation of each:
    Events= Every time you import photos from your camera or via drag & drop a new Event is created. This is the basic (automatic) way that iPhoto organizes your photos. Events are date based and can be split or merged based on your preferences. For example, you go to a birthday party and take a few photos, a few days later you go to a picnic and take a few photos. When you import the images, iPhoto will split the pictures into two distinct events. (Check The iPhoto Preferences/Events for some options).
    Albums= These are containers that you create to easily group photos in any way you prefer (ex. Combine photos from a couple of holiday parties into one album). You can drag and drop photos in Albums. When you delete a photo in an Album it does not get deleted from the main library. Albums contain links to the photos, not the actual photos. You can manually re-order the photos in an Album. It is always a good idea to create an Album first, edit and re-order your photos there and then create a slideshow, book or web gallery from the Album.
    Smart Albums= These are Albums you create that have specific rules, they automatically get updated every time a photo meets the specific set of rules. Smart Albums (SA) can have one or more rules. ex. You have 2 different cameras and you automatically want to see the photos captured by each camera. You create 2 Smart Albums that contain the Rule = Camera Model > is > Nikon D40 (or whatever). Next time you import photos from that camera, the SA will show these photos automatically. (Note: These are links, but if you delete an image, unless you delete it permanently it will re-appear in the SA, as long as it still has the required value of the SA. You can sort by Keyword, Ratings etc using Smart Albums, and you can have multiple sort rules, like Keyword = Birthday and Rating is 5 stars.
    Slideshows= iPhoto has 2 types of slideshows available. The first is the "quick" slideshow. You can select any Album or Smart Album click on the Play button, set the transition select the music and you are ready to go. The 2nd type, the Cinematic Slideshow, are albums created specifically as Slideshows. They contain photos you selected and you want to see on your screen in a slideshow presentation. You can set specific transitions between slides, set individual slide times, select music and specify where the Ken Burns effect will start in a slide and where it will end. They are more elaborate than the Quick slideshows.
    Web Galleries = are a quick way to share photos with friends, you just select the Photos and click on the Web Gallery button. You set some basic options and publish. Visitors get to see the photos in 3-4 different views including a slideshow, but you can also allow the viewers to add photos to your web gallery. Every time you add a new photo to a web gallery album in iPhoto, it will update the web site when you click the little publish icon next to the name. You can also set tan option to make this happen at specific intervals. (Check the iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery).
    I hope this answered some of your questions. Good luck.

  • Burn Events AND Albums to DVD

    I would like to burn a copy of my iPhoto '08 library (which will fit on a single DVD) that will be re-mountable within iPhoto. However, it seems to allow me to EITHER burn all the events, but then no albums are retained OR burn all the albums, but then only photos which have been added to those albums are burned to disc. I would simply like to have a COMPLETE iPhoto library backup. The wrinkle is that most of the photos were not copied into the iPhoto Library folder/package, but rather referenced in an external folder. I would be willing to have iPhoto consolidate the originals from the external folder into a new single iPhoto Library package. Is there anyway to accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    JV

    most of the photos were not copied into the iPhoto Library folder/package, but rather referenced in an external folder.
    This is the worst case scenario - a mixed library, part managed, part referenced and is a recipe for disaster.
    This thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356720&tstart=0
    mentions an app called AliasHerder which will make the library a referenced one. Then you can simply use the Share -> Burn command to back up the library to a disk that
    will be re-mountable within iPhoto.
    Simply make sure you have the Library selected in the iPhoto Window, not a particular Event or Album.

  • How do I get my iPhoto 4 images and albums into iPhoto5?

    Thought for sure I would find a FAQ listing for this but can't find it anywhere. I copied all my albums and images from CD back up into iPhoto5. But when I log out and log in and open iPhoto5 none of my old images and albums are there. I do see imported libraries for 2002, 2003, 2004 but they are empty. Sorry if this question is redundant (which I'm sure it is) but since I can't find a FAQ file anywhere…
    Also, I have a G5 iMac at home and a dual G5 at work. Any way to specify which is which in profile

    Richard:
    So you only have jpg files on those CDs, right? There are no other data files, album folder, etc. in there.
    I copied all my albums and images from CD back up into iPhoto5.
    By that do you mean you dragged them from the CDs into the open iPhoto window? If you dragged them into the iPhoto Library folder then that's the wrong way to do it. You must import the image files into iPhoto from outside the iPhoto Library folder. Along those lines here are two Apple KB documents that you should be aware of, particularly the second one:
    iPhoto Library Description
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder
    What happened to your original iPhoto 4 library folder? Do you still have it intact? If you do then you can place it in your Pictures folder, launch iPhoto 5 and it will find it and tell you it needs to convert the library to version 5. Once done you should have your library converted you'll have everything back up and running, including the albums, rolls, keywords, etc.

  • Can't sync all events and albums from iphoto 08 to ipod touch 4th generation using itunes

    Hi from San Juan! Just got my new ipod touch 4th generation, since my 2nd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and when it finished its sync process, I noticed that out of my 16,000 + photos in iphoto, only 2,435 were synced. Tried again numerous times, changing options, ("selected albums and events", "all" etc,), but nothing worked. Ever since I've had my Mac, I've only used iphoto to download, organize and share my photo collection; same cameras also. With my previous ipod, the sync process ran smoothly, and always got ALL my albums and events under the "photos" icon of my ipod. What's happened? What's changed? I'll welcome suggestions and / or solutions. Thanks in advance. Sandra

    where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch.....  So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
    Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
    I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
    Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot..... 
    thank u
