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.

    How do I get my photos onto my photo stream that were on my phone before I set up my share settings? Need to get them onto my new iPad!

    There is no official way to do that from an iOS device (see also how you can do it from a Mac/PC: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606?viewlocale=en_US), but you could create a "Shared Photo Stream" which should also show up on your other iOS devices (See also: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99 and https://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-photo-sharing.html.)

  • How do I add place names to events in iPhoto 11

    How do I add place names to events iPhoto 11 version 9.2.1, I can do a single picture at a time but when you have a 100 or so it's going to get tedius.
    I have found messages  via google that tell me how to do it but it dos'nt work.

    how can I add location to a photo that does not have a gps location? On iPhoto it was easy.

    You can use the Settings in the slideshow to Show Captions,  either the Description filed be display, the Title field or both.
    If you create the slideshow in iDVD from still photos from iPhoto you can add the Description and/or Title via the settings in iDVD.
    Since iDVD adds both automatically the user must go thru the slideshow and remove those items not wanted.

    how do I add a folder of photos that isn't in iphoto to imovie

    You can drag them in from the Finder. I think you will have to drag one photo at a time, but you can experiment.
    If you put into iPhoto, you can place them in an album and drag the album in all at once.

    You have to get them from the file you have into iCloud, google, yahoo, outlook.com, AOL, an Exchange server, or some other service the phone can sync with, or into MS Outlook on your PC. Then you can sync them to the phone.

  • Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Hi I would like to know, how do I add a Hyperlink on Flash, that opens a PDF in adobe reader and not the web browser.

    Yoh, what is FSCCommanr ? sorry man I am an absolute beginner in Flash. I tried the code:
    /* Click to Go to Web Page
    Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.
    Instructions:
    1. Replace http://www.adobe.com with the desired URL address.
       Keep the quotation marks ("").
    instance_name_here.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage);
    function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage(event:MouseEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.adobe.com"), "_blank");
    this is the same code I used before and it opens a pdf file in a web browser, and it doesn't open an AutoCAD file.

    This thread - with a quote from an LR4 Beta thread - says that all 6 central Basic controls in PV2012 (Exposure thru Blacks) are now image-adaptive, as were Recovery, Fill Light, and Clarity in previous versions:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4253485
    Whether they are suitable for creating a Timelapse sequence without significant flicker is entirely subjective and up to you - and of course, dependant on your specific images & how they change over time.  Sorry, not much advice beyond try PV2012, and revert back to PV2010 if you get too much flicker.

  • I accidentally deleted a calendar on my iPhone 4.  How do I retrieve it and all of the events that were in it?

    I was recently adding my Google calendar to my calendars on my iPhone 4.  After I synched it, something happened where all of my Yahoo contacts disappeared.  We were able to retrieve the contacts after going into Settings and setting up a new account under Carddav.Address.Yahoo.  My contacts all reappeared!  I then noticed that all of my calendar events that were in there before Google was synched were gone.  I don't know how to find those events and/or that calendar and retrieve it.  I have iTunes and iCloud, but I don't see the events on there anywhere.  Any suggestions?

    Hi..
    Thanks for the reply..
    My original I Phone 5 was running IOS 6.12
    My I phone 5S currently runs IOS 8..When I upgraded it, it had IOS 7 on it which made the I Photo app compatible with everything below IOS 8...( which the photo app is not compatible with ) so I just connected the I Phone 5S to my computer and thinking the new phone had IOS 7 on it that these was nothing to worry about..I thought all 900 + pictures in the photo stream would transfer but somewhere in the process, I Tunes decides to just go and install IOS 8 which requires that you run a " Photo Migration App" to transfer photos from IOS 7 & below. The problem was is that I didn't want IOS 8 on my new 5S so I thought I wouldn't have to do that part..
    Anyway the phone emerged with IOS 8 on it and the only photos that remained were the ones that were actually on the phone..The 900 + I had in the stream didn't transfer because the Photos that works on IOS 7 and below isn't compatible with IOS 8..I guess you have to use the photo migration app that comes with IOS 8 & I phone 6..But I didn't ask to upgrade to IOS 8...It just did it on it's own!
    I still have the I Phone 5 Back up that I did just before giving it back to Verizon but if I try to restore the I Phone 5S running IOS 8 those photos in the stream will not go back on the phone because IOS 8 isn't compatible with the I Photos" that ran on IOS 7 and below..
    So I have an I Pad mini that runs IOS 7..should I try and erase it...and put that I Phone 5 backup on it and pray the photos that were in the stream come back on it so I can transfer them back to my computer...then erase the I pad mini again and restore it using it's original backup that I have on the computer and the in the cloud?
    I know this sounds confusing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..This is what I found ...http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201386
    but it doesn't help me..
