Iphoto not showing imported photos in events

I have been using iphoto for quite a while with very few problems.  Recently I have added an iPhone and an apple TV into my apple ecosystem.  I have recently noticed that my iphoto library is NOT showing photos imported from 3rd party sources such as my android phone, in the events section of the interface.  The photos ARE present in the 'photos' section which leads me to believe that they are IN the library.  But when i look at the events and select one say for 3/24 it will only display the photos taken from my wifes iphone and NOT the ones taken from my andriod and imported using the add to library function.  I have attempted all four options in the command-option iphoto startup and have gotten no where. 
Many of you might that that this is a non issue as the photos are present in the 'photo' section.  but as i prefer to use the fullscreen mode in iphoto i do not have access to the 'photos' tab in full screen, only the 'events'. 
could my appletv or iPhone or appletv be a contributing factor?  Is there an option in events to only display iPhone imported photos? 
Any help would be appricaited I am pulling my hair out here.

1 - Photos and events are simply two different views of the same photos - your iPhoto library - so any photo that is in one is always also in the other - you are just looking in the wrong place
2 - the most common issue is incorrect dates on photos so you look in the wrong location for the event - in the photos view right click on one of the photos that you are not seeing in an event and show event
3 - another possiblity is the sort order of the events - verify it under the view menu ==> sort events
4 - No - it is not your Apple TV nor is it your iPhone

  • How do I show imported photos in Events?

    I downloaded photos off my camera into iPhoto 9.5.1 (I have just upgraded to this).  The photos are showing if I click on "last 12 months" but they are not showing up in Events. How do I get them into events?
    I had the older version of iphoto and whenever I downloaded photos off of my camera, they would go directly into events.

    I had the older version of iphoto and whenever I downloaded photos off of my camera, they would go directly into events.
    And they still do
    Most likely your camera date is incorrect (correct on the camera - and for photos already imported by selecting the photops and using teh adjust time/date command) or your event sort is incorrect (correct by the view menu ==> sort events)
    The photos are showing if I click on "last 12 months" but they are not showing up in Events. How do I get them into events?
    Last 12 months is just one of many views of the photos in your library - events are another view - every photo in one view is also in every other view - you are just looking in the wrong place (see above)

  • IPhoto not showing all photos

    I have iPhoto '11 v 9.4.3.  Some time ago I noticed that certain events in the event view were showing up with zero photos in the event, with a gray palm tree sunset as the key photo of that event.  When I go to import pictures from my camera, iPhoto reports that photos in the camera are duplicates of photos already imported, but it shows a blank for the imported photo.  Since iPhoto seems to know they are there, I don't re-import. When I go to the Finder and look for the "missing" photos, they are there in the iPhoto Library (under Masters).  So, my question is, why does iPhoto know they are there but can't show them?  And how do I fix it?  And BTW, they have not been made hidden in iPhoto.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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.

  • IPhoto not creating monthly Photo Stream Events

    Up until last month, all photos that were brought into iPhoto via Photo Stream were being added to a (seemingly) automatically created monthly event of Photo Stream images.  It seems to have stopped doing this and I was wondering if there was a way to reinitiate this.
    I think what may have caused this to happen was that I renamed one of these monthly events (Apr 2012 Photo Stream) to something generic like "Spring" and added additional (non Photo Stream pictures) to it.  Now, all new Photo Stream photos are dumped into this "Spring" event and I can't get iPhoto to create a new May 2012 Photo Stream event and dump all new photos imported into Photo Stream into it.
    I've tried renaming "Spring" to Apr 2012 Photo Stream and adding a "May 2012 Photo Stream" but to no avail.  It keeps wanting to add photos automatically to what I believe was the original "Apr 2012 Photo Stream" that has since been changed.
    Any thoughts/suggestions?  Thanks.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If it doesn't and you are able to download successfully into the new library then your existing library needs repairs: 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 #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 and converted to albums. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Iphoto not displaying imported photos

    hello i would appreciate it if someone could give me an idea of what is happening with my iphoto programme.i transfer photo from the camera via usb iphoto displays the photos in abumn format but as soon as i click on it to make it viewable as a large photo i get what looks like a picture of a keyhole and my original picture wont display is this a data transfer problem or an iphoto problem and hints would be greatly appreciated thankyou

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.
    Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

  • Time changes made in iPhoto not showing in Photos

         I've scanned a lot of physical family photos from when I was a child into iPhoto and changed the dates so they show in iPhoto on the correct day. So Xmas day 2000 showed up on 25 December 2000 as you would expect.
    Since importing into the new Photos App these correct dates haven't copied. Instead showing the date they where scanned.
    Is their a way to fix this or do I need to manually find all these pictures and manually adjust each one to the correct time?

    Haven't had the problem.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version off iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name, this name was also used in the "masterfile"

    I have recently updated to iPhoto 9.2.1, more by accident I guess. In the older version of iPhoto when I imported photos and gave the event his own name (for exampample "110723 birthday son 2011"), this name was also used in the "masterfile", so I could find the file by his name ("110723 birthday son 2011") in the "masterfile" on my HD and copy and paste it from there to other computers.
    In the new version the file gets stored under a seemingly random number, which does not give me any information about the content.
    Is there a way to fix this? Would it be different in apperture?
    Thanks

    I have Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424). I am having an identical problem.  All my pictures are imported into Iphoto when I downloaded them from my camera.  Until recently, I thought that the pictures were actually saved in the library.  Since I need to crop my pictures for the web, and Iphoto doesn't do that, I purchased Photoshop Elements to do that.  To my surprise, when I try to get a picture from Iphoto to Photoshop, it can't be done. That was when I realized, after wasting a lot of time, that the photos are not in the Iphoto library.
    I started naming the pictures on Iphoto so I had a recognizable file name to open on Photoshop. Couldn't find it.  I looked in the Backup folder and the Transfer software folder (I have a Nikon camera), and the names I entered in the Iphoto display, could not be found.
    When I am trying to upload a photo to the web, I get the Finder folder showing  with an active folder called "Photos" under "Media", which only displays Iphoto and PhotoBooth.  This is a folder name that I cannot find in my HD anywhere when I look for it.  If I edit a picture with Photoshop, I am not going to save it back to Iphoto (not sure whether it will work properly).  How do I get my folder of edited photos to show when I want to upload a picture to the web?
    Where (the name of the folder) do I find the pictures I see displayed on the Iphoto library, including any name changes, keywords added, and so on?

  • HELP! Downloaded LR5 and when open it shows an error message saying error while trying to change from modules and I can not even import photos. Am I doing something wrong?

    HELP! Downloaded LR5 and when open it shows an error message saying error while trying to change from modules and I can not even import photos. Am I doing something wrong?

    I have the same problem, and the solutions in   Error changing modules | Lightroom do not work.  Even uninstalling and reinstalling a new copy did not solve the problem.  As anyone got an idea what other lingering files might be causing the problem?

  • IPhoto 9 does not show any photo of old Mac Mini's iPhoto 7 library

    I'm trying to migrate an 80GB iPhoto library from my old Mac Mini to a new iMac. The old Mac Mini has iPhoto version 7. The new iMac iPhoto 9.
    When I copied the complete library, iPhoto does not show any photos. How can I fix this? I already tried:
    Using iPhoto Library Upgrader – however it shows: Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
    Using iPhoto's rebuilding etc functions on both Macs – this does not do the trick
    Using iPhoto Library Manager – also shows 0 photo and rebuilding does not work.
    Anybody knows a solution?
    Thanks!

    Doesn't work :
    It is also quite strange that iPhoto just opens the library without any warnings, but without showing any of the content (photos, albums, etc.)

  • Compound clip imported into project not showing up in the event browser

    I have learnt that when one imports any clip into the project from anywhere else other than its associated event folder, the new clip also gets automatically added into the event folder. I have seen this occur when I had imported audio from the music browser onto my timeline directly.
    Today I happened to place a compound clip [a common template which I use for introduction to the video] onto the beginning of a project which I have started recently. I broke the compound clip apart and made the necessary edits. What puzzles me is that this compound clip has an audio clip and this clip was not being shown in the event browser. Is this normal?
    Ps. I have very recently updated my FCPX from version 2 to 5.
    DR.SOMANNA

    Let me explain the matter in a different way...
    I have made a compound clip of the intitial generator clip, titles and music clip which I had used for my first project. The intention to do so being that I could reuse the same for my future projects as well. I placed this compound clip in a new project which I named as templates.
    When I had started upon a new project a few days ago, I copied and pasted this compound clip from the 'templates project' and added it to the beginning of the timeline of the new project.
    Now, for purposes of editing the titles, I broke apart the compound clip and changed the text of the titles. Also, when I had ungrouped the compound clip, there did appear the music clip below the timeline. I know that clips imported from the generator browser and the titles that are added to the project do not show up in the events browser, but should not the audio clip make its appearance in the event browser? I know that when we add an audio from the music browser, this audio clip will be automatically shown in the event browser.
    My question therefore is this: is an audio track that gets added to the timeline of a project via a compound clip that has been added and ungrouped on the timeline an exception to the rule?
    Hope I have made myself clear.

  • When i go into finder   click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto

    when i go into finder   click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto 

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • HT2638 my iphoto albums do not show any photos in them

    How do I restore my photos in iphoto.  The albums are listed but do not show any photos in them

    Same problem - need the same answers
    what recently changed? what version of iPhoto do you have?
    Plus in your case the veresion of the OS - you do not give that - the OP does
    Using all of the information you gave the most likely reason is that you deleted 90% of your photos and they are gone

    PS - using cute emoticons, strange formatting, bold, underlining, etc does not replace actually providing requested information

  • IPhoto wants to import photos that have already been imported

    A couple of days ago I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5 - today was the first time since the upgrade that I've tried to import photos. I have about dozen or so new photos and videos on my iPhone to import, however iPhoto is showing 246 photos to be imported. The other 200+ photos were already imported from the iPhone (and have been in the library for a few years now) so why is iPhoto asking to import them again?? Shouldn't it recognize that it has already imported them?
    I should note that I have over 2,000 photos in my iPhoto library; so not sure why it chose these particular 200+ photos to import again.
    If I have no choice but to import those photos again, is there a way that I can check and get rid of duplicates in iPhoto? Short of manually searching and deleting them one-by-one?
    Thanks!

    I've just found this discussion, I too have the same problem:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3429399
    I have already submitted feedback to apple... Hope for the best..
    Did anyone tried to manually move the newly imported video in the folder of the event where it belongs?
    I am afraid of messing things up.. If it is a problem of "flagging" the file at the filesystem level maybe this could help.. but if the flagging happens at the iPhoto Library level... no hope:(

  • *Some* movies in iPhoto not showing in iMovie

    Over the last few years I have shot many movies on my Canon S400 and loaded them into iPhoto. All my movies are .avi format. However, iMovie is not recognizing them all so some are not showing up in the Event Library. This problem appeared directly after the last update when it rebuilt the thumbnail library. Does anyone know how to get iMovie to recognize the previously viewable videos?

    Thanks, but I need to clarify - this is not a matter of iMovie 08 not recognizing compressed formats. All the movies are from the same camera, as raw .avi's, and non-compressed or edited in any way.
    Please clarify further. Am interested in how you define what "raw AVI" is. Have never heard of any form of digitized audio or digitized video that was not coded (i.e., compressed) in one form or another. Please explain how that works. Better yet, please post a screen capture of of the QT Player "Inspector" window showing the format of this "raw AVI."
    iMovie is for some reason erroneously not seeing some of them.
    As stated above, iMovie '08 can't "see" anything it can't edit.
    I was able to export one of the "unseen" videos to my desktop and import it into iMovie 08 from there
    I hate to break the news to you, but exporting, by definition, implies a re-compression of the file. And, unless you exported to the very same compression format with the very same settings, you have "converted" the file. In fact, even then, the possibility exists that the file may have been 'flattened" with the end result that an incompatible track may have been discarded or merged into the core audio/video tracks and thus made the file compatible.
    but that's a lot of needless hassle.
    Better get used to it. Until you can show that both the audio and video tracks are compatible and that there is no other content (such as a "Tween" track) included in the file, there exists at least a presumption that your AVI files as uploaded from your digital camera may not be "edit" compatible with iMovie '08. You can, of course check on this yourself by comparing the the "Inspector" information of you non-importing files with that of your imported file.
    All the videos are in the same .avi format.
    Are you sure. Some digital cameras have multiple video clip modes which may either changed settings within the same compression formats or actually change the compression formats.
    All of them were recognized and worked just fine before the last update. Now, some get recognized by iMovie 08, some others don't.
    Apple may have changed "error trapping" routines for the update you referenced. It may be checking intersects of audio data rates against audio sampling rate "standards" now. If you check export combinations you will find that only certain combinations are allowed in QT. Once again, you could help yourself tremendously by simply comparing the statistics of files that work with those of ones that don't work.
    This is NOT as issue due to compression formats.
    You keep saying this but offer nothing in the way of evidence to support your assertions.
