All my events merged into one after Yosemite and iPhoto update

I am running iPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite 10.10. Some short time after updating iPhoto, I found all my events had merged into one. I tried to find the old library, thinking I could tell iPhoto to use the old library, but couldn't find it at all. Then I thought I could go into Time Machine, which I tried several times, and restore my Mac to two days ago before this happened. But that did nothing either. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

basically you are doing something wrong - events do not merge on their own and if you are running TM then you can restore the iPhoto library from ir - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You can use the autosplit command to split the "big" event according to your preference settings

Did anyone else have numerous events merged into one called "From MobileMe" after MM ended?

I just recently noticed that on June 30th, when I was prompted by iPhoto to import the old MobileMe albums after MM ended, that many of my events were merged into one event called "From MobileMe". The correlation was that they were all MM albums that I had uploaded directly from the event itself to create the album.
It also caused some other strange behavior with blank thumbnails for one set of photos, yet they appeared in their original event as well. I am so dissappointed. Apple only had a year to figure this out.
Has anyone else had this problem, and how have you handled it. The only two options I'm seeing are restore from Time Machine (but then lose everything I've imported and organized since July 1st, or just going through, reorganizing them, and hoping that none were accidentally deleted. So annoying.

The Apple Genius helped me sort out the problem: one bad FW800 cable!
All my switiching things around, with phone support from multiple Apple Advisors, trying to figure it out and that one cable always managed to work its way into the mix! Only when the Genius and I had multiple Thunderbolt-enabled devices to experiment with were we able to isolate the bad cable. Odd how the problem seemed to mimick the random-unmounting issue others have been experiencing.
My 2012 iMac itself is in perfect working order! As are the G-Drives. Best possible outcome for me!
Thanks for your feedback.

IPhoto '09 events "merged" into one big event

It isn't clear what happened, but all of our events got merged into a single event after a restart of iPhoto. Both the Events and Photos folders show just the one event. All 10,000+ photos are in this one event. All of the Albums, Books, etc. seem to be still there and in place.
Is there anyway one can automatically rebuild the events from the time/date info (the photos still have their timestamps)?

It is the same in both views. In events view, there is one event with a date starting in '01 - '09. In the photos view, there is same range of dates/photo count listed first. Opening either opens up all of the photos in the library.
The good news is all of the photos are still there. Also, all of the albums, books, etc are still there. Just lost the event/roll type organization (which is useful on its own).
I know that during one of the earlier upgrades of iLife, events were automatically created from the old photo library based upon some criteria (I presumed it was date imported or date taken), but I didn't see this as an option anywhere. I do know about recreating a library but I'm not sure that is the best path taken.

Airport Express WiFi issues after Yosemite and iOS update

Since the most recent software updates for OSX and iOS my WiFi has been acting up. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've noticed that Safari does not work most of the time, yet I can open Chrome (on either Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, or iPhone 6) and the website I was trying to access in Safari will open instantaneously. I just recently upgrade my Xfinity internet from the Performance package (25 mbps) to the Extreme package (105 mbps) and thought these issues were related to the upgrade, but we also have a Windows 8.1 hardwired and it streams consistently. I have seen a few other posts related to this issue, but have yet to find a resolution.

OS Yosemite and iPhoto update

I have updated to OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Pro but iPhoto is not there with the bundled apps. I tried to update it though the Macstore but it gives me this message:
Update Unavailable with this Apple ID
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
I am the second owner of this Macbook and have no idea what the previous owner's ID was. How can I overcome this issue and update iPhoto without going thru this hassle of Apple IDs.
Please respond if anyone has an idea.

You can use your Apple ID and buy from App store.

Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How to separate them. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How can I separate them in iTunes???????. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this you need to use different IDs. (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.) On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll. To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

All tracks from one artist merged into one huge album. How to separate into correct albums?

So all the songs from one artist have merged into one huge album. All I did was select all the songs and changed the artist name. Not sure why my iPod has it under one album. On iTunes they're separated into the correct albums but on my iPod it isn't. All the info (Artist name, album name, etc) is good, i checked a million times and still can't seem to figure out why my iPod is reading it like that. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks for the great link!
Although it doesn't allow me to cut 'n paste, like I was hoping, the answers give me a lot of insight as to how the track fields are structured, as well as full control over whether or not I want to group tracks together within the same Album. So, in the end, this information is more useful than the cut 'n paste function, as it prevents me from losing potentially useful track information.

Multiple Pages docs merged into one?

Say someone was working on a large book project where each chapter is its own Pages document, to keep file sizes down. Assume further all chapters are done in Page Layout mode.
After all the chapters have been proofread and corrected, is there a way to MERGE all the pages docs into one? I know one can merge multiple .PDF docs together using Preview's Thumbnails view, but that does nothing for page numbering - which DOES work in Page Layout mode by the way.
Any thoughts about how to do a mass merge of two or more Pages docs?
thanks
OS/X 10.8.2 Pages 09, 4GB memory

Hopeful,
With all docs set to View Thumbnails, Copy and Paste thumbnails from one Doc's Thumbnail Pane to the other's.
I this case I suppose you would begin the process by creating a blank document for the compilation and systematically moving all the chapters to that new one.

PI 7.1 runtime error: 2 messages are merged into one

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to 71. We are having a crtical issue with one of the interface. below are the details:
Background:Interface is using ABAP mapping to convert an Idoc into file.
File name is fed into u2018dynamic configurationu2019 in mapping program.
File adapter uses dynamic file name and saves the file using NFS.
Interface receives idocs in batch, so several Idocs are received by XI almost at the same time.
Interface has been working without any problem in version 3.00 for last 3 years.
Problem in 71.:On occasions (random, not always), 2 idocs are merged into one file. It means, only one file is created, which includes the data from 2 idocs.
In message pipeline, same file name is shown both message (in dynamic config after mapping)
We have tried u2018use temporary filenameu2019 option on file adapter, but problem is not resolved.
Any sugegstion pelase!

Hi,
In your Graphical mapping create an UDF with code Thread.sleep(1000) and map this udf to any node (may be root node).
Note: The delay is in mili sec.
This udf will delay the mapping for specific time. I am not sure if it is going to solve your problem but you can try.
Regards,
Sarvesh

HT204053 how do I combine all my apple ids into one apple id

Is there a way to combine all my apple ids into one new apple id so all my previous purchases are on one id?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can't. IDs can't be merged. You'll just have to pick the ID whose itunes account has the most purchased items.

Merge Clips Question - Sound merged into one track?

Hi there,
I've just switched over a feature project from 5.5 to 6 and a new, infinitely better equipped operating system. As I finally delve into the synched footage (merged in 5.5 but just about to start cutting in 6), however, I'm realizing that it seems to have merged all the sound tracks into one track? Sounds like it's all there, but just wanted to make sure that was supposed to be the case. The rest of the channels are blank, but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like everything was merged into one, because I'm picking up separate lavs, etc.
Further, I'm assuming that, per usual, an OMF will allow a designer to separate again in the end.
Thanks for any input you can provide.
Best,
Stephen
PS - Thanks, too, to those of you who helped me figure out the specs for an ideal new system. Ended up going with ADK and the system's great.

The way I would do it is to unbundle the elements in the two clusters and then build a new cluster and write to the database once.

Ipod consolidated all of my playlists into one

While updating Ipod consolidated all of my playlists into one. And I thought if I got rid of the super playlist it would have to go back to the regular system. The library and all the other playlists are still intact but now it says, "Ipod cannot update becasue there are no songs in the playlist." But there are songs there and there are songs in the library as well. What's wrong? What happened? What did I do wrong?

Open iTunes prefs -> iPod.
it should be set to Auto update only selected playlists.
Select the playlists you want to go onto the iPod.

I have 2 icloud accounts. can they be merged into one?

I have two iCloud accounts and want to delete one of them. Can the two be merged into one?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't merge accounts but there may be some things you can do, what exactly are you trying to achieve by merging accounts.

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps
Cheers
