Backing Up Events from iPhoto

When I drag Events from iPhoto onto an external backup drive, it copies the photos but not the Event title. I then have to go and create a new folder (Event name)on my external backup and drag photos into it. Is there a way I can copy Events and photos within them without doing this?

select an event - go to FIle ==> export - make any option selections and click export - click "new folder" and name it - navigate to where you want it and click OK

  • I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one). The others events disapear!!

    I can't see my events from iPhoto (11 - 9.3.1). Only one event is in my library (the first one) and the last import that I made in iphoto is the first one . The others events disapear!! What can be happen? Please, someone could help me?

    I tried to do shift + alt + command - option
    That's not what I suggested...
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto.
    Restore from your back up is the easiest solution.

  • Accidentally deleted an Event from iphoto '08

    I accidentally deleted an Event from iphoto....By opening the "Show Package Contents" option in Finder I am able to see the Folder (Event in the Iphoto Library) that I accidentally deleted from the iphoto window. I see also all of the photos in that folder. How do I go about reinstating these originals into the Iphoto Library so that I can recreate the Event that I accidentally deleted?
    Also I noticed that when you delete or move to trash any photos or events of photos from Iphoto they do NOT appear IN the Trash and one cannot reinstate them from the Trash unless you are one step away and can "Undo move to trash". Please let me know what happens to the photos or events when one moves them to the trash or "deletes" them.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    That's what I like....succinct, clear, and perfectly accurate. THANK YOU.
    If I could ask you a follow up.... On my previous laptop and previous version of iphoto, I and my family had over the years created quite a mess with my iphoto folders, with some photos not even in folders and sitting outside of the typical iphoto folders. My new iphoto functions just fine but I suspect some of the random photos and files which appear outside of the typical iphotos structure within my new iphoto package may not be showing up in my iphoto library (I have not yet gone thru and tried to check). so my questions are:
    1. What is the iphoto 08 Package Contents SUPPOSED to look like?(what are the specific folders that one should not touch)
    2. If there are other folders or files outside of this structure that may not be showing up in iphoto library, what would I do to import these back into the library? (I do not care if the data attached is missing but would like to make sure I have ALL of my past photos, including ones that I may have misfiled previously).
    3.After I do the above, how do I clean up the Package Contents to make sure I leave along ONLY the files that Iphoto depends on.
    Thank you.

  • In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my iPad Air, the Events arrive in the proper order but not showing the Key Photo.  At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto on the iPad in totally random order but showing the Key Photo.Why?

    In downloading my Events from iPhoto on my Mac to my Ipad Air, the Events arrive in Photos in the correct order but not showing the Key photo. At the same time, the Events arrive in iPhoto in a totally random order but with the Key phto showing. Why? of course and is there a way to shift the order in Iphoto and get a Key photo in Photos?

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000  photos in my iPhoto Library. Can I import only certain events from iPhoto into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library?

    I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
    And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
    Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.

    Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
    Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
    iPhoto version is 9.5.1
    Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
    I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
    It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
    What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
    iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem.  Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
    The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
    Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
    Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video,  that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed.  You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
    Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11

  • Is it possible to import certain events from iPhoto, and not my entire 70000 photo iPhoto library?

    For some reason, there are no options to import certain things, when I click import from iPhoto it just starts importing them all! I'm using iPhoto 11 and elements 12

    Yes, but you do it by exporting the event from iphoto, putting the exported photos where you want to keep them, then using "from files and folders" to import them.

  • Photoshop elements 8 for Mac - how to move photos (events) from iphoto to pse

    I have figured out how to move one  photo over through opening a file.  But I can't move a full event or album from iphoto.  Ive tried going to bridge but when i click on the iphoto folder, it takes me into my iphoto and I'm not sure what do then, no buttons or anything that seems to connect to PSE.  Any help would be appreciated!  I wish Adobe supported this product better for Mac users.  Maybe they read these discussions?

    Hi,
    Are you opening iPhoto files from within Photoshop Elements? You can open all the files in an iPhoto event into PSE8 through a single click.
    In Photoshop Elements, go to File menu > Open. In the browser window that appears, click Photos under Media in the sidebar. Now, you should be able to see iPhoto with all its events. When you click on an event and "Open" it, you should get all the photos of that event in the project bin.
    Is this the problem being asked?
    Thanks.

  • Problem syncing events from iPhoto

    Hi,
    In iTunes I selected the events I want to sync with my iPhone and it worked pretty good for a while, but now it says they are synchronised but a lot of them are missing on the phone. Any idea how to fix it ?

    You cannot share videos from iPhoto. You will need to manage them in iTunes or some other app.

  • Events from iPhoto on my Mac wont sync to my iPad2 after upgrading to iOS8

    I recently updated to iOS8 on my iPad2.  During the update I got a message that the update failed and my iPad was stuck in Recovery Mode.  After Restoring my iPad2 and loading the most recent backup, I'm having issues with syncing all of my data back on the iPad.   I have the option selected to sync "Selected Events and Events from the past 12 months" to my iPad2.  After completing a sync, NONE of the events appear on my iPad.  The only photos that are available are in the Recent Photos's section.  I have tried syncing multiple times with no success.
    Any suggestions on how to get these events back on the iPad??
    Thank you for your time.
    Rick

    Well, now I'm really baffled. I've tried dragging the video to iTunes window and into the Movies folder. Nothing. I've tried File>Import to Library in iTunes. Nothing. I've dragged it over to the external hard drive where I keep iTunes and then drag it into the Movies folder there. Still nothing. I never get an error message from any of these methods, but I also do not have the video showing up. What the heck am I doing wrong?

  • IPhone Will Not Sync 'Events' from iPhoto

    My iPhone 3G will only load 'albums' from iPhoto, but not 'events'. I prefer to manage my photos using events, how do i ensure that when i load photos into my iPhone, that they are loaded as events. Currently, the only way i can access new photos is by going into 'last import' or by sifting through my entire library.

    Hvaing the same problem on my iPad since iTunes and ios5 upgrade - hoping for some updates from Apple to resolve problem - research has shown we are not alone!

  • Transfer/back-up photos from iPhoto to External Hard Drive

    I have an External Hard Drive to which I wish to transfer/back-up my photos (from iPhoto). My External Hard Drive though has documents and photos that are in Microsoft Word. Please help me with the step by step process of transferring/backing-up photos to my ExHD. Can I still keep my MSWord files, or do I need to clear up the whole ExHD? My main concern, is really to free the memory of my MBPro because I have so many photos already. Thanks

    Copy your entire iPhoto Library as a unit from the Pictures folder in your Home folder onto the external drive — just drag the iPhoto Library onto the external drive's icon or into its open main window. Do NOT try to copy your photos any other way than this.
    After the copy is finished (it may take a while if your library is large), open iPhoto while holding down the Option key, and select the library on the external drive for iphoto to open. If it opens normally and everything seems to be in order, you can delete the iPhoto Library file from your internal drive. Don't forget to empty the trash afterward.
    REMEMBER THIS: Now that your iphoto Library exists only on the external drive, it is not backed up! Back it up on a second external hard drive, or sooner or later you will lose it to a hard drive failure. The one sure thing about hard drives, like all other mechanical devices, is that eventually every hard drive will fail. Don't wait for it to happen and then think about the backups you should have been making all along!

  • How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

    Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

    You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?

  • My iPad 2 wont sync selected events from iPhoto via iTunes

    I have never had any issues with this until recently. My iPhoto library is too big and I didn't want all my photos on my iPad so I started using the Sync Photos from: iPhoto and checked the Selected albums, events and faces option. I have only selected from the 'events' window. All of them sync fine except for two events. One event has 376 photos in it but will only sync 6 that I duplicated and cropped. I have since deleted the duplicated photos and now the entire event wont sync. The other event has 435 photos in it but will only sync 16. I wondered if it was the formatting as a lot of them are 'raw' quality, but after going through other events that doesn't seem to be the case. I have plenty of room on my iPad so that is not the issues, I have also tried deleting all photos from my iPad and re-syncing everything, or just those two events, neither of which worked. I have read that you should delete the iPod Photo Cache, which I did but it didn't contain any photos anyway, is that because I tell it to sync straight from iPhoto and not from the 'choose folder' option?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
