New Events in iPhoto Aren't Saving

I recently got a new camera (Nikon S1800) and I'm able to import the photos to iPhoto and create an event but they then won't come up in my events. They will stay in Last Import until I upload new photos and then they seem to go missing. I've already done the whole cmd + option thing and tried to rebuild the library.

they will stay in Last Import until
If they are in Last Import then they are in your Library somewhere. Most likely they are just somewhere you don't expect them to be. Have you explored the Sorting options in the View Menu?

Creating a new event in iPhoto for iOS

Hi,
I'd like to know if I can create new events starting from either PhotoStream photos or camera roll ones. I found out that in the default ios photo app I can create a new album but not a new event.
Thank you in advance.

Greetings,
Events cannot be generated on the iOS device itself. They come from external sources (iTunes Sync from computer or direct import from an SD card / camera).
See this help article entry for details on what is visible in each of the different iPhoto views: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnk7c4d5bff
Hope that helps.

New event on Wiki Calendar always saved a day behind

I just did a fresh installation of Leopard Server & updated to 10.5.6 .
Group wiki, blog and calendar are displaying as expected. I noticed that whenever I created a new event, the event date will be saved a day behind the selected date in the Event dialog window. For example, if I want to create an event on 3rd Jan 2009, I would have to set it on 4th Jan 2009.
My time zone is Asia/Kuala Lumpur and time server is time.asia.apple.com .
Any ideas ?

Ways around it :
1. Create an event with a duration (at least 5 min). You can have it begin at 12:00am if you want to.
2. Create an all day event which MUST begin on or after 08:00am . Anything before this will be marked in the previous day box (even though the date and time values are as the way you have entered). I tried creating an all day event beginning from 07:55am and it was marked in the calendar a day behind. So 08:00am is the magic number.
Question : Is 08:00am regarded as a new day in iCal server ?

Not seeing new events in iPhoto since 1/2/12

I noticed that following 1/2/12, iPhoto V9.2.1 is not organizing any additional events. I can only find my photos through Photos or Last Import. I currently have 1.906 events, and 29,986 photos, plus 4,297 photos in the trash.
This is on my 17" MacBookPro, with 8 GB RAM, running Snow Leopard.

Control-click on one of those photos in the Last Import smart album and select "Show Event". That will take you to the Event containing the photo. What do you see when you do that?
Also make sure you've got the Event sorted so you know where new events should occur, either at the top or bottom. Then check there.

ITunes does not see new Event from iPhoto

I imported photos from Halloween into iPhoto on my iMac with the intention of displaying them on my AppleTV. In the iTunes - AppleTV - Photos sync page (that displays Photos, Events, Faces) all but the most recent Events are present. I tried "Last Import" and even combined the photos with another Event that was already synced with the AppleTV but the photos did not show up (nor did the number of photos in the combined event increase). I am stumped.
I have deleted the com.apple.iPhoto.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist files, but there was no improvement. I have updated all versions of the programs and rebooted the computer and AppleTV. Still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've figured out why it's not working, just not sure the absolute correct way to fix it. The albumdata.xml file is wrong. When I moved from /users/michael/iphoto to /volumes/data/iphoto, only 400 of the pictures metadata changed. Most of them stayed as /users/michael/iphoto in the albumdata.xml file. To "change" them in the .xml, (I wouldn't call it a fix) is I selected all the pictures and did a batch change of Title to Filename. That worked for me, because my pictures titles were the filenames, but if you rename the titles, you might have to find another way. Directly modifing the albumdata.xml file won't work. It's overwritten each time. This link helped me figure the problem out.

New Imports to iPhoto Are Saving to My External Hard Drive

Recently purchased a Buffalo NAS 2TB external hard drive. I didn't realize at the time of purchase that Apple doesn't support NAS drives; although, I did find ChronoSync software that would allow me to back up my iMac to the Buffalo hard drive.
After a successful backup of music, documents, and photos, for some reason when I upload new pics they are now saved on the Buffalo external hard drive and NOT my iMac which is where they should be going. When setting up the backup to the Buffalo originally, I only selected the folders that I wanted to backup (music, photos, documents, and applications). I made sure I only wanted those backed up; there was no need to backup my entire internal hard drive.
When uploading new pics to iPhoto, I never selected anything to tell my iMac to save all new photos to the Buffalo external hard drive.
So now when I open iPhoto on my iMac, it winds up missing three or four event folders that I recently uploaded (Christmas pics, etc) but when I open the "iPhoto Library" icon on my Buffalo hard drive, it shows everything (even the three or four event folders that my iMac "iPhoto Library" is missing).
Any thoughts of what the problem is? When backing up my iMac, all I wanted to do was save my already existing pictures to an external hard drive. What I didn't want is for the Buffalo hard drive to "save" the entire iPhoto application (which is what I think it did).
With all the problems I've been having with this NAS hard drive, I've since purchased a non-NAS hard drive and will be using Time Machine from here on out! The things you learn......
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Happy New Year!

iPhoto saves the files to the default Library when you import, and the default library is the last one opened.
IF the one on your iMac is the default library and the files are turning up on the back up, the likely candidate for responsibility is the back up app, I'm afraid. I'd check the settings on that.

IPHOTO says photos saved with newer version of IPHOTO. How can i get the new version of IPHOTO back on my system?

I loaded IDVD on my IMAC. Now IPHOTO will not open pictures due to pictures saved with a newer version of IPHOTO. How can i restore the newer version of IPHOTO back on my system?

Sounds like a possible damage library. Give this a try: 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.

I have absolutely no use for "Events" in iPhoto: can I get rid of this concept? I am importing photos maybe one or a dozen times a day and cannot avoid creating a new event each time. Or can I?

As my long question implies (sorry, should have kept it shorter) I have a problem with being forced to have Events in my iPhoto'11 9.2.3 (629.52) on my MacBook 10.6.8. My habit is to unload the camera constantly, whether I have taken a single shot or a whole series. Each new addition creates an Event which actually bothers me!
Is there a way of avoiding this? If I erase an event from iPhoto the photos will disappear from the Library it seems ... Please help with your advice. Thanks! Sigrid.

Thanks, OT!
When I look at my odd(?) habits of dealing with iPhoto anyone will see that I have a very simplistic approach: I never let one single Library get bigger than 300 or 400 photos, then back it up as is and make a separate, manual backup of the different albums as named by myself on an external HD. Then I delete the Library as such from my Mac but can reinstate it from the backups as I please. The backups are properly labelled, of course.
I get dizzy when I read about libraries of thousands of photos, of keywords, ratings, smart albums etc. because this just wouldn't apply to my so-called system. So instead of using Faces and Places, my album names show clearly what's in them - "skies and scenery" Euskadi, "bugs and birds at Fancourt", "inventories", "people" (separate for my circle of people and characters from media), "my dog" etc., usually a bunch of 20 albums or so depending on my whereabouts. Quite manageable!
I've been doing just fine with this method and would recommend it ... but others are much brighter ;-) and use the offered (and to me too advanced) features of iPhoto, if they prefer these. Now that I know how to get rid of Events by merging them into one, I at least feel a little freer there.
Well, it's 1:25AM my time, gotta go ...

Why is it when i take a picture with my new iphone 5S, the pictures aren't saved to my photos?

why is it when I take pictures with my new iphone 5S, the pictures aren't saving to my photos? The only pictures showing up in my photos are the ones from when I first restored my phone from icloud.

Hi AmishCake.
I tried that and it didn't work.

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app?

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app? I seem to only be able to create albums. I would really like the app to allow me to do all the same things that I was able to do on my Mac. I would create events and then sync to all devices. Can someone please instruct me on how to create new events from the photos imported from the photo stream.
Thanks for all the help!

The iPhoto for iOS seems to be aimed at working on photos then sharing them to social media sites or to iCloud for sharing there. iPhoto for iOS does not perform many of the organizing tasks that iPhoto on your Mac does. Many people expected that there would be more capabilities in iPhoto for iOS that would allow it to work more closely with iPhoto on your computer but this is not the case. They are separate apps.

My new events no longer show up in Events, since I upgraded to iPhoto 11 at the end of March. The number of events goes up, but they no longer show. The photos are in my photo place all right, but everything is getting every messy and confusing. Help!

I upgraded to iPhoto 11 from iPhoto 08 at the end of March, 2012. Since then, although all my photos appear in the library,and the number of events tally goes up, no new events show up in Events. My iPhoto is getting very mess and confusing. I have checked preferences, and they are the same as what I always had (one event/day)

Go into the Event mode and set the View ➙ Sort menu option to By Date, either ascending or descending, and look for the new events at the top or bottom of the list.
You can view the last import in the Last Import section and then Control (right) click on one of the photos and select Show Event. That will take you to the event where you can rename it at the top and then check to see where in the list it is placed.

After initial iphoto import, how do I add (or sync) new events that were...

put into iphoto.
It seems that after you import the iphoto library that is like a snapshot in time of what your iphoto library looked like. Well, I import to iphoto from my camera and Aperture doesn't seem to reflect these new events that were created. Am I missing something here?

But your comment about writing a novel in Text and Word together is a little off, no offense. The fact remains you can make changes to a file in both apps and the mods will be persisted. The file is the data and app allows the user to interact with the data.
My comment about Word and TextEdit was an analogy, and they are not perfect. But this is not true:
The fact remains you can make changes to a file in both apps and the mods will be persisted. The file is the data and app allows the user to interact with the data.
No, you cannot actually make changes to any file in either app. You can process the photos and save the changes as a Modified Version (in iPhoto) in the database (in Aperture) but in neither app do you change the original file. Further, If you do this in iPhoto then Aperture is unaware of these changes, and vice versa, unless you import the modified versions to the other app. The relationship between them is not dynamic, nor designed to be.
When using iPhoto I would rsync my Originals off to another drive periodically. After some exploration, I noticed Aperture has a file structure called Masters. It is different for iPhoto in that it looks like Masters/<year>/<month>/<day/<yearMonthDay-time>/*.jpeg.
My question is there any way to change this a more iphoto way like Originals/<year>/<importDate>/*.jpeg?
This question turns up almost daily in some form on the forum So have a search around abot Referenced Masters, or check out the Manual.
In brief, no you cannot change the structure of the internals of the Aperture Library. However, you don't have to store the files there. You can reference your Masters from anywhere you want, sorted in any folder structure you prefer.
Can I apply changes in a destructive way? Sometimes I don't care about preserving the original.
No. Like iPhoto, that's simply impossible to do. Aperture is designed to work in exactly the opposite way.

Saving new events

After half a year of trouble free using iphoto, new events are not stored when i close iphoto. It may be a coincidence, but this trouble started when i tried to shate the library with other accounts. But the trouble remains after is stopped this.
Can some one help? Thanks

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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your 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.

HT1229 How I can save my EVENTS of IPhoto , from my old Mac , in my external disc to transfer it into my new Mac

Hi, i need help !
I need to save All my EVENTS of iPhoto in my external hard disk, to transfer the EVENTS to my new Mac .
Please help! When I try to do it the name as I organice it disappear.
How can I do it?

You need to transfer your iPhoto Library intact as a single entity - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Problems finding new events imported to iPhoto 11

I've just upgraded to Lion (not sure if this has anything to do with it) and have iphoto 11. When I import new photos to iphoto I name the events. When I try to locate these newly named and imported events under the event tab, however, they are not there. I can only find them when I click on Last Import, then I see the named events, but not when I try to view them in my events library. Why not?

In last Import right click on one of the pics and select 'Show Event'
