Adding Rolls to IPhoto

I know I can add folders to IPhoto but I would like to create new rolls for separating my pictures as well and was wondering if it can be done.

You don't mention which version of iPhoto you have, but as it's an Intel machine and you use Rolls rather than Events, I'll guess version 6.
Select a pic and the File -> New Film Roll option will be available. You must have at least one pics selected.

HT1296 how do I sync photos from my camera roll to iPhoto? iPhoto seems to only want to sync from photo stream...

how do I sync photos from my camera roll to iPhoto?
When I go into iphoto, it registers Apple iphone - but the commands "import selected" and "import all" are not operational.

See:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
Also, this
Re: photos from my camera roll do not show up in photostream
included:
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Numbering of film rolls in iPhoto

When you rename a film roll in iPhoto., the original roll number disappears. How can I retrieve the roll number?
(In the Desktop & Screensaver pref. pane, the sidebar only shows roll numbers.) I'm using iPhoto. 5.0.4, and Desktop & Screen Saver v.3.0.1

Yet Software Update says there are no upgrades from iPhoto 5.0.4.
Why should I have to pay for an Upgrade? I don't understand what is going on here.
Software update will only show the free updates within the same version number and not the paid upgrades. Since you are running Snow Leopard, you could upgrade to iPhoto '11 and other iLife '11 applications, but that would require to buy the boxed retail version from Amazon or eBay. Upgrading to Mavericks, as Old Toad outlined, would enable you to buy the currently sold versions from the AppStore.
The advantage of the newer iPhoto versions with Mavericks: You could use iCloud, Faces and Places, and buy print products from Apple's print products store. Plus many bug fixes.

Merging film rolls in iPhoto 2

Can I merge film rolls in iPhoto 2, and if so, how?
Thank you!

• Mark all the images you want to consolidate with a checkmark (or some unique keyword).
• In library view, do a keyword search to bring up just those images.
• Create a temporary folder on the desktop, and drag the images from iPhoto to this folder (copies will be transferred to the folder, and the original file creation dates will be retained).
• Once the copies have finished exporting, move all the "checked" images from the library view to the iPhoto trash.
• Finally, drag the entire contents of the temporary folder to the iPhoto window to import all at once (or drag the folder to the album pane to create an album at the same time)

HT1338 I have added photos from iPhoto into Photo Stream and enabled my iCloud but I can't see any uploaded photos. Does this sound right?

Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

I can't get the "last roll" in iphoto to show up using external drive

hi there, thanks in advance for assistance.
I backed my iphotos a few months ago....have added about 700 since then, so today I backed iphoto again.
in my ex drive I created a new folder, called it "fotodump2009" and let it go.
when I open iphoto to choose a library, the old back up, titled "iPhoto Library" will open but "fotodump2009" won't.
is this a folder name prob?
what's worse, trying to solve the prob, I dragged "fotodump2009" into "iPhoto Library" and the 700 new fotos still won't show.
so I dragged "fotodump2009" back out, but when I click on it now all I get is "iPhotoLibrary" content from a few months back.
in that folder,luckily, the new 700 are there, called "last roll 1,2,3 etc."
so, I can open a library from a few months ago, but my latest back-up is inaccessible, though it's in the folder.
thanks,
nerker

on further investigation, both the "iPhoto Library" folders on ex drive and hard drive have the 700 new pics but are in "grey", unclickable.

Can iPhoto 9 display my film rolls like iPhoto 6 did?

Hi,
I've just installed iLife '11 and my iPhoto library is all over the place.
Everything used to be in order by date which was at the right hand side of the title on each film roll but now all the rolls or 'events' as they're now known are displayed as avatars with the date below in small writing. I liked the old way as it was in order and i could manipulate it the way i wanted it.
For instance, i have numerous rolls which contain photos of the same thing but which are all taken at different times and now these rolls are listed by the first photo's date.
I don't want the rolls displayed in this new fashion with a photo from each, i want a long list which i can scroll down and find what I'm looking for then open. It's easier for me to organise my pictures like that. I could add or remove photos to and from different rolls by just dragging and dropping them.
I have several rolls which are added to frequently and edited at the same time.
Is there any way to get round this?
Is there any way to display my photos as a list instead of this photo montage?
Thanks.

Have you looked at Photo view - that basically is how it works
You also can view the library in photos view
And albums and folders are an easier way of doing what you wnat
as to going back - sure - load the backup of your iPhoto 6 library and reinstall iPhoto 6 from the original source

Add a video clip (not in camera roll) to iphoto journal?

Hi.
I am creating a photo journal album using iphoto on ipad.
I would like to add a movie clip filmed by iphone.
I made an album that includes all the photos and a movie clip in icloud (photo stream), and I can see photos and the movie clip on ipad , however, when I tried to add the movie clip in iphoto from edit-add-photos menu, I can't find the movie clip in the list.
My guess is that you can add any photos taken by any devices through icloud, or photo galleries, but somehow it doens't accept any movie clips filmed by other devices (has to be filmed and saved in camera roll of the same device that you are making the photo journal)?
I can see other movie clips filmed by the ipad in the edit-add-photos menu.
Are there any way to add my movie clip filmed by iphone and add to journal?
Or, are there any way to move my movie clip filmed by iphone to the camera roll in ipad?

lizdance40,
Thanks for the great tip how to download a photo from photo stream to camera roll on different devices.
However, when I select a movie clip saved in "shared stream", the box with arrow you mentioned disappears (I tried several movie clips from several "shared stream"s, and the results are the same).
To solve my problem, I guess I have to remake a new web journal on iphoto on the same device the movie clip is saved( in camera roll).
This is my understanding of iphoto, (but if I am wrong, please let me know)
When you make a web journal on iphoto (on ipad, iphone, etc),
1. You can't add a movie clip saved in other devices to a web journal.
2. You can't edit the same web journal on other devices (you can view web journal on other devices, but not edit).
3. Mac version iphoto dosen't have a menu to make a web journal.
It's easier to make a web journals on ipad or mac, but who wants to make a movie clip with ipad??

Organizing rolls from iPhoto, in Aperture

I recently got the trial Aperture and imported my iPhoto film rolls. I have all my rolls organized by date of the roll. I have moved pictures between rolls to group them. This way it is sort of like an album.
In Aperture you can organize pictures by every criteria but date of film roll imported. Does anybody know how to keep my original pictures within their iPhoto rolls and alpha date the collections by film roll data?
I want each roll in the browser to have all the pictures (even with differnet dates) in the same group.
aehaas

Aperture's workflow is different, as is its organizational structure. iPhoto's rolls metaphor is fundamentally not as effective for many photographers, who are event or project based.
OK, so what to do ...
I would suggest you map rolls to projects. Essentially a project is a container for images for shots on a day or series of days. Since it sounds like you have rolls which would on the one hand consolidate into a project and on the other maybe span projects, some decisions will be necessary.
To get visibility back to your rolls structure, you could then use Albums. Albums can contain images (more correctly pointers to the image in a project) from one project or multiple projects.
Using this structure should allow you to see thematic or event groupings (projects) and the more discrete roll structure (albums).
Above all this, you could have a Folder container for the year, where all projects and albums for a year are held within a folder for that year.

Library rolls in iphoto not showing in main frame

in iphoto three of my "rolls" of film that i previously downloaded appear in the top of the main frame but when i click on the picture to look at it or edit, it has a blank gray square with an in the middle. if anyone has any tips for me, please contact me! thanks.

The ! or ? turns up because iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnsil and the photo it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you ever moved, renamed or altered anything in this folder?
You could try rebuild the library by holding down the apple and option (or alt)keys and launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Sort by film roll in iPhoto 8

Come across an interesting problem.
A friend has a digital camera that resets the time and date every time the battery is charged, and not surprisingly after a while no longer bothers to re-enter the details, hence the date is always sometime in year 2000.
This has never been a problem as iPhoto sorted the pictures by film roll, so there was always a semblance of order. I must add that the original titles of the image number have been changed to descriptive picture titles.
I have just helped them to import their picture library onto the shiny new MBP, 10.5.5, iPhoto 8 (having told them how fantastic events is) and it has turned into a can of worms. All the images are now sorted by date order which means they are all over the place, and arrange by filmroll is no longer one of the options.
Anyone any ideas? Is there any way to get import pictures from iphoto 6 without it reformatting for events, or can i get iPhoto 8 to sort by iPhoto 6 filmrolls?
Thanks

Yeah the iPhoto 6 library is still on their old laptop, so that could work.
Do you know whether importing into iPhoto 8 would then keep that same film roll order, with over 6,000 pictures they are quite keen to keep a semblance of continuity.
You do NOT import the library
You must use iPhoto 6 on the laptop and rename any rolls - any roll that uses the default name of rollxxx will come across as an unnamed roll and it gets very confusing in iphoto '08 - once you have an iPhoto 6 library with no default named rolls in it quit iPhoto on both systems and drag the iPhoto library on the new computer to the trash and then drag the iPhoto 6 library from the laptop to the pictures folder on the new computer and launch iPhoto there - this will convert the library and keep the iPhoto 6 roll structure
The event order may be an issue since it is time based - there is a command under the photos menu to batch change date and time so you can use iPhoto '08 to restore the desired date structure

Help with importing Camera Roll to iPhoto issue?

Hi
I have a bunch of images on my iPhone (3GS, 5.0) saved from a phone 'wallpaper' app into Camera Roll.
Normally, as soon as I attach my iPhone to my MacPro, iPhoto '11 automatically launches and imports anything which is in Camera Roll.
This is suddenly not happening and I don't understand why (my software is up to date and I can't find anything relevant online).
Any ideas?
Many thanks

Hard to say without knowing to what issues you refer.

How do I sync my Camera Roll to iPhoto in iOS 5?

I have upgraded my iphone to iOS5 and my OS to 10.7.2 and to iPhoto 9.2(626). When I go into iphoto to sync my all of my Camera Roll photos my phone does not show up as a device in iPhoto. Is there another way to sync all my camera roll photos other then Photo Stream?

I am having the same problem. But in Image Capture my iPhone (iPhone 4 ios 5) will no longer show up as a device. It does not show up as a device in finder either. It does show up in iTunes, though. In anticipation of icloud and in an attempt to avoid having duplicate photos in my iPhoto (because I already had this problem syncing with iPhoto through USB), I deleted all my iPhone photos (and videos) off of my Macbook while keeping them on my iPhone; only to find out that iCloud will only sync new photos that I take after setting up iCloud. So now I have no way of getting the photos and videos that I had captured prior to ios 5 and iCloud back on my Macbook.

Adding photo to iPhoto 9.2.1 slideshow reorders Source list

Hi All
I have made a slideshow (100 photos) in iPhoto 9.2.1 and being careful duplicated the slideshow. I then added more photos to the duplicated Slideshow source list only to find the slideshow re-orders the list of photos. I've never experienced this problem before. Quitting and reloading doesn't stabilise the Slideshow.
I managed to add another 8 by adding 1 then couple at a time. But now trying to add more just 1 photo re-orders the list.
I've also turned off the music.
I never had a problem with 100+ slideshows with iPhoto before. Apart from trying to change the lead photo which would cause iPhoto to freeze.
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this issue and can anyone suggest a way around this ?
Thanks so much. JJ

I've had this very same issue and it's making me very upset. I'm looking for an answer to this!
