Can I make folders of events?

I already have so many events that iphoto has become impossible. Isn't it possible to have folders of events? Or perhaps events inside events? Or is there any other way to organise this hug bundle of events? I tried albums, but as far as I can tell they just contain individual photos, and not events. All i want is to be able to tidy up my events.
I hope I'm missing something obvious.

You need to remember that iPhoto manages photos entirely different from Picasa. Picasa is a file management application where you deal with folders.
iPhoto is a photo management application where the original files can be in one or 500 folders (events) and where the management portion takes place in albums, smart albums, folders, keywords, titles, ratings, etc. One the photo is in the library it won't make any difference where it's located because you can group them using one of the organizational tools I just mentioned.
Events are date related. All of my shoots (family gatherings, parties, etc,) are uploaded into one event and then I clear the camera's memory card for the next shoot.
I use keywords to identify what's in the photos, people, places, things (like cars, etc.). Smart albums are used to group photos from a wide date range, i.e. multiple events, that share a specific trait, i.e. keyword, title, description, rating.
Regular ablums can be used to house events so you can sort them manually and combine them with other albums/events in folders.
All of this organization is virtual. There is only one real copy of a photo in the library (2 if it's been edited) while all the rest are virtual, i.e. just pointers to the original file. You couldn't do that with a file management application because you'd have to duplicate image files to put them in other folders, etc.
To learn more about DAM (digital asset management) applications on the professional level visit the The DAM Forum. It is a wealth of information on photo organization.

  • "iCal got an error: Can't Make id of event of calendar 4 into type referen

    Hello everyone. i am completely new to MAC's and very new to scripting. Thanks in advance for any help.
    I am tying to run an Apple Script that is called Scheduled Delivery.
    I'm running 10.4.10 and have the most recent version of the script.
    Basically what happens is I type up and email, add in the email address and save it to my drafts folder. The Scheduled Deliver script, when run, finds all the emails in my drafts folder and uses iCal to schedule a time to mail them (which is a specific time I enter)
    Here is my process I go through-
    I run the apple script by double clicking on the Scheduled deliver Icon, which was in my appications/MailScript folder. It brings up a new window with all my saved drafts. I select the draft I want to schedule a specific time to deliver. This is great.
    When I click on the lower right button "Update Schedule" I get an error message...
    "iCal got an error: Can't Make id of event of calendar 4 into type reference. (-1700)"
    I cannot figure this out. I've tried testing it anyway. I can close the Scheduled Deliver window but the "Done" button is always grey out. It seems to place an event in iCal but no message ever gets sent.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Anyone? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How can I make albums from events then delete events without deleting the album?

    Hey, just need a little help!
    How can I make albums from events then delete events without deleting the album?
    Many thanks

    You'll be more likely to get help with this if you ask in the iPhoto forum:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
    You'll need to tell people what version of iPhoto you have so they can give you correct advice.

  • How can I make the marker event pulse width longer in NI-FGEN?

    I want to generate a marker event on PF0 line using NI-FGEN.I can set the marker event pulse width but when I was trying to make the pulse width units as 65 I was getting an  error-1074115931. 
    How can I make the marker event pulse width longer without using script as I am using PXI-5412 which is not supporting Script.
    Can anyone help me out in doing the same?

    Unforunately, as you mentioned, the PXI-5412 does not support scripting mode. This will limit you to 1 marker using sequence mode. However, the PXI-5421 and PXI-5422 would allow the functionality. 
    As far as making the pulse width longer, and as the KnowledgeBase Article that you linked to discusses, I don't think it will be possible to create a marker as long as 1us - 10ms using just the Marker properties and without using scripting. You can still try to do this with property nodes and see if you can get a usable result. Start with an example such as "Fgen Arb Waveform Marker" and use the "Marker Position" value to set the start time (you would want 0 here it looks like), and then "Marker Event Pulse Width Value" to change the pulse length, but again I am afraid you will probably reach the maximum of 640 ns here. If you're not able to get this going with the property node, you will need either a FGEN card that supports scripting or another card that does Digital I/O to accomplish this.

  • Can I make Folders in Mail?

    Can I make Folders in Mail so I can store some?  Right now they all scroll off site in no time and I can't read them again.  Help!

    Thanks for that Matt.  I'm looking it over now.  I thought a workaround would be to just go to my Comcast email acct online and make an Icon out of that.  But the problem there is that Comcast is NOT a good online email program.  It's very ugly and hard to see and navigating it is next to impossible.  For example, I clicked on the "Make New Folder" button and it just kept asking if I wanted to make a new folder....that's as far as I got.  Oh yes, I'll just have to call Comcast...again...to let them figure this out.  I doubt there's a fix as Comcast's email program is awful.  I think if I used IMAP that Comcast would get even worse.  But I'll think on that.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • I am using Pages app but I can not make folders as instructed in help menu

    I am using Pages app but I can not make folders as instructed in help menu

    While in Pages looking at the screen with all your documents, touch and hold a document until it starts to jiggle.  Then touch a document and drag it on top of another holding it there for a couple of seconds until a folder forms.  While things are still jiggling you can click on the folder name and change it.  And while still jiggling you can drag more files into the folder, or create another folder.
    Much the same as you create folders of apps on your home screen.

  • How can I make a imovie event into email size segments

    I recorded a 24 minute bicycle ride and the reults were good.
    I imported the AVI file event into Imovie and the file is now a wopping Mpeg 4   3.78 GB.   HD 1280 x 720.
    I tried to share the file to email to some friends (or a segment of) but was far to big.
    I tried to split clip but no matter what I do that modify menu item remains in light grey and that menu item can not be used.
    In a past version I manged to do this on an earlier release. Currently I am using Imovie 10.0.2 which comes up as the currnet version.
    I also now have a "Share Failed" alarm "The share operation "Theatre-SUNPRO0003" has failed. Video rendering error: -50" come up every time I use IMovie and I can not get rid of it as it keeps popping up every minute and is very anoying.
    I also had the computer slow down considerably and found the problem was Drop box  austomatically started uploading the huge file as did ICloud to begin with.
    Any assistance would be of great help.
    Computer is a 2009 MacPro with 10 gig memory and using OS X 10.9.1 and pretty fast internet connection.
    Regards
    Barry

    iMovie does not allow any editing or splitting of clips in events.  You can only do this in a timeline.  Consequently if you want to split or shorten a clip you have to do it before importing into iMovie.  Quicktime 7 or Quicktime 10 are able to do this.
    Your movie is very big becasue of the high resolution.  You can make it smaller using a lower resolution.  There is a share to email option.   I would not share to Theater - it creates several different version s of the movie and slows things down a lot.
    If you only want to share the movie at original resolution and not do any editing, why not simply upload it directly to Dropbox (i.e. not via iMovie) , splitting it first if your Dropbox capacity is not big enough?

  • How can I make new iCal events default to 1 hour long?

    Please help me love my iCal again.  How can I set it up so that the default for a new event is an hour long instead of EIGHT?!?  Why on earth does iCal think a new event should be eight hours long?  It's especially annoying at night.  Add a new event at 9PM and iCal sets an end for 5AM and rolls it into the next day, which means I have to change the end time and change the end date every time I add a new event.
    Seriously, who designed this thing?  Here's a perfect example of bad design (which, coming from Apple is shocking!): In the menu, click New Event.  Does iCal create a new event?  No.  It draws a box arrow pointing to the big plus sign.  Are we sure Microsoft didn't design this thing?
    I'm a diehard Mac Guy for over 17 years.  But I must say, I'm disappointed with some aspects of Lion.  Yikes.  (sorry...  I needed to vent!)

    I probably should have noted that I'm using iCal in the month view.  Maybe that's why my iCal thinks every new event is eight hours long?  The previous iCal didn't behave this way.
    And, yes, a menu item titled New Event that opens a box where I can create a new event rather than actually creating a New Event is bad design.  It adds extra steps.  It feels like a Microsoft thing where you click on something and then get asked if that's really what you wanted to do.  When I click New Event, I want a new event to open so I can input the details including calenrar, alarm, repeating data, notes, etc.  Sure, if I wanted a quick option, I'd go for the + sign to add one.  But when it comes to having to change calendars or add extra info, making me go through extra steps is poor design.
    There's a lot to like in the new iCal, but pushing the app away from design simplicity for VISUAL simplicity is poor design for a desktop OS app.  On a three inch screen like the iPhone, it makes perfect sense.  It's brilliant, in fact.  But on a desktop OS?  I completely understand the idea of merging iOS with OS X, but a motorcycle is not a tractor trailer even though they both have engines.  To treat them as such is poor design.
    Another example: in iCal, it's easy to hide calendars you may not need to see.  That's a great feature.  In the previous iCal, there was a pane that showed which calendars were visible and which were not.  Now, if you're looking at a month, you have no way of seeing that there may also be more events that are hidden without clicking the calendars for a popup to display which are visible and which are not.  I'm no Mac basher.  I have a series of the black & white "Think Different" prints framed and hanging on my walls.  I love Apple, but the new iCal is poor design.

  • Can you make an enter event in topmostsubform that gets the field name of any field thats entered

    Looking for some help.
    I have a modified Enter Event I'm trying to use. What my expected results are: When you click on a field on the PDF, it would open up a certain webpage or file depending on what field is entered. I currently have:
    if (xfa.host.name == "Acrobat") {
              app.launchURL("www.cnn5.com" + "/" + event.target.documentFileName + "&" + this.name, true);
    else {
              xfa.host.gotoURL("www.cnn5.com");
    In this example, i'm using a bogus address obviously. "event.target.documentFileName" gives me the PDF name which is what I want, but I need to scrub off the ".pdf" at the end of it. I know I can use this in every field that I want it in, but I'm looking to see if I can get this code in just the topmostsubform only due to having hundreds of forms I might be using this form and to save time.
    When this is used in the topmostsubform, it gives me the URL: "www.cnn5.com/PDFname.pdf&TopmostSubform" no matter what field i click into. Is there something i can change this.name to? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, i'll need to have this event to be able to use multiple times, because currently in the topmostsubform, it only activates on the first field that I enter and doesn't activate on fields after that. Suggestions please? Thank you

    Hi,
    Are you using event propagation?  If you are try
      xfa.event.target.name
    Otherwise have a look at this  http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/03/xfa_30_event_propagation.html

  • Can't make a New Event in Calendar. Why?

    My iMac is running OSX 10.8.2. My iPhone 4S is running 6.1.1. My iPad is running 6.1.
    If I try to enter a 'New Event' on my iMac I always get the following message:
    'The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation'
    The only options it gives me is:
    'IGNORE - TRY AGAIN - REVERT TO SERVER'
    No matter which option I use nothing synchs.
    I have to 'Force Quit' to get out of Calendar.
    When I look on my iPhone - iPad all I see is 'New Event'.
    This has been happening for a while now and I'm tearing my hair out.
    Many thanks for help in resolving this problem

    Thanks for replying.
    All of the Ownership & Permissions fields are grayed out/unchangeable. I "unlocked" the lock icon and changed to my account. R/W is now active. New Folder is now available.
    Thanks!
    Now... how did I switch out of my account and change to "unknown"??!!!

  • How can I make the "add event" dialog in Lightning use 12-hour times?

    The Add Event dialog in Lightning (on an iMac running OS 10.10.2 Yosemite) is displaying 24-hour times in the dropdown boxes. I need these to be in 12-hour format.
    Also, the default calendar needs to be changed. Where are these preferences located?

    I don't know what the acceptable setting values are, but you could experiment with
    ''calendar.date.format''
    in the config editor. '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Options]'''|Advanced|General→Config editor
    Mine is set to 1 and it's faithfully copying the date/time format I use elsewhere, but that may just be coincidence. But I suspect it is simply the toggle between long and short date formats as offered in the Options GUI for the calendar.
    Bear in mind that all those AM/PM indicators will eat up precious screen real estate.
    Settings for the Calendar are under Tools|Options (on Windows); that'll be Edit|Preferences or Thunderbird |Preferences.
