Can't rename any events in iphoto 8.0

I can access the titles but it won't let me type anything.

See this thread: Can't edit 'Event name' in iPhoto
. It discusses several ways to do that.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't rename/name events in iPhoto

Hi all, please help if you can
I'm a proficient mac user and I installed iPhoto 08 and have never been able to change or name events in iPhoto. I called mac support they don't know. I have reinstalled the software, tried starting a new library, I have updated to latest (yesterday's) update.
I also tried moving my library to the root so as to eliminate any permission errors.
I thought it was a bug but mac support guy confirmed it can be done.
Anyone have any ideas?

Make sure that the HelveticaNeue font is installed and active on your computer. Also, have a read of this: it's written for the iMac, but the trick will work equally on your MBP

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

Can't add any events to my Calendar on my iPhone 5S

All of a sudden I can't add any events to my Calendar on my iPhone 5S. It worked fine just a couple days ago. I haven't loaded any new software and I haven't changed anything in the Settings regarding the Calendar. I have the latest (newest) software 8.2 upgrade. I've done everything I can think of, including turning it off and restarting it. I have not reset it back to factory defaults, I hope not to have to do that.
Bob

I click on the + button (add button) and it does allow me to enter a Title, a Location and all the date/s & time/s. The Add button is active and I click on it and it returns me to the calendar. I don't get any kind of error. However, their is no event on the day or time I chose. Tried it on different dates, different times, and doesn't matter whether it's a Specific Time Event or and All Day Event, it just doesn't same it.
Thanks for the quick response by the way,
Bob

Can't import any images into iPhoto

Hello,
I am on my honeymoon and trying to offload pictures from my camera but have found that I can not import any pictures into iPhoto. I am unable to import any file, not just the ones on my camera. I have tried jpgs, gifs, and pngs from various sources and none of them import.
So far I have tried holding down option and creating a new library, deleting the plists, rebooting, and reapplying the latest iPhoto update. Does anyone else have suggestions for me to try?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

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.

I can't adjust any settings in iPhoto preferences because it always freezes and i get the spinning pinwheel of death! HELP!!!

Since upgrade to Iphone ios6 (4S), I can not import any videos to iPhoto or Image Capture

Hi there. I have had numberous problems with my upgrade to IOS6, particularly with the Camera/Photos. Two big ones: The camera does not orient itself properly when taking horizontal photos. You take a horizontal photo and it never rotates properly. So I have to go into Photo Shop and rotate each one manually. Sometimes it does not recognize horizontal from vertial when taking as well.
Also, I can not download ANY videos to iphoto or via Image Capture. The error I get for every video (both new videos shot after upgrade and those that date back to before the upgrade): Import Error An error occured while importing. The item ZZZZ.MOV was not imported.
I have all my software updates on both my phone and computer.
Any suggestions?

I would try restarting you Mac if you haven't already. If you still can't get either iPhoto or Image Capture to work, you could try something else, like PhotoSync or PhoneView.

I can't add any event on my calendar on mini ipad ios7.02

Why can I not rename an event in iphoto? It keeps reverting to "untitled event!"

Every time I upload photos to iphoto and it creates a new event, I am somehow unable to rename that event. I double click and delete the default label, "untitled event" and even as I type the new name it will immediately revert to say "untitled event." This sometimes happens even at the same time as I type, like the computer and my own typing are fighting against each other.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try renaming again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Can you edit the "events" in iPhoto on your ipad?

I've finally figured out how to sync iPhoto from MacBook to iPad, now I'm having trouble editing the photos in the albums or events. Seems like I can only move them around on my computer but can't move any photos on my ipad. Is there a way that I can organize these on my ipad? First world problems I know but since I have more time on the iPad it just makes sense that I arrange them in here. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

There isn't an Aperture or iPhoto app for the iPad (it comes with a basic Photos apps which is effectively just a viewer), and the photo editing apps that do exist are fairly basic : cropping, brightness, rotation, straightening etc e.g. the free Photoshop Express app from Adobe (which also has an in-app purchase option). You can use the iPad for reviewing photos but if you tend to do extensive editing then it's probably not suitable.

Can't open an event in iPhoto

I have a large collection of photos and mpeg videos stored in iPhoto (12,000 plus items) on my iMac. For the past week or so, I've been unable to click on the event in the iPhoto collection and then see the photos in that particular event. I've tried rebuilding my iPhoto Library to no avail. Does anyone no of a solution, or have you heard of a problem like this?

What do you see when you click on the Event? Also can you see the photos in the Photo mode? In the Photos mode do you have Event Titles selected in the View menu so they display? That will let you find the event you want and see if you can see the photos there.
Try the basic fix first: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.

I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can't name an event in iPhoto 7.0.1, workaround?

I just installed iLife '08, then I ran software update which updated iPhoto to 7.0.1. Then I rebooted. Then I launched iPhoto '08 for the first time and upgraded the library.
Now I'm trying to name events, but it won't let me! I click below the event and a text box comes up, but I can't get the cursor to show up inside it. Trying to type just gives me the error beep.
If I double click on an event and then click on "Untitled Event" at the top of the screen, the same thing happens. The text box shows up, but no matter what I can't type into it.
How do I name my events???
I should point out that I also have iLife '08 at home on a C2D (white plastic) iMac, but I can name events there just fine.

Nathan:
Launch Font Book, locate the Helvetica Neue font and deactivate it. Then reactivate it. Launch iPhoto and try again.
Do you Twango?

Can't edit any event, no event editor

It used to be that i could double click on an event to edit it. Right now, iCal is sending me reminders to do something that i no longer need. I want to cancel the reminders (i don't want to delete the event because i'll use it later). I want to get the pop up menu with all choices on it. I want to be able to edit the event. When i tried to do this yesterday, i found that nothing happens when i double click on the event, and when i select the event and go to the Edit menu and choose "edit event," nothing happens. I'm wondering if i accidentally clicked on some kind of finder setting or something that has disabled event editing? How do i get that little pop up menu with all the editing choices on it that i used to get?
Also, if i create a new event by double clicking in the date field in month view (for example), it creates an event called 'new event." But it will not let me name the event, much less have any other editing options. A google search informed me that i can select the event and hit return in order to be able to name the event but i can't do anything else. If i create the new event by double clicking on a day while in month view, when i look at the event in day view, it has defaulted to 1pm as the time for the event. Every time. If i create another event in month view on that same day, it will add another 1pm event.
What happened? I used to be able to easily create events with various characteristics by simply double clicking. What am i missing? I tried iCal help, how to edit an event. It just tells me to select things in the Event editor. But i can't get an event editor to open up. That's what i want, the event editor. How do i access it? Maybe something happened the last time i updated the system?

Ok,
I figured it out.

How can I add albums/events on iPhoto (for iPad)?

Using only my iPad (if possible), how can I create new albums and events on iPhoto?

Use the Photo app on your iPad to create and name a new album.
Photos > Album View > Edit > New Album
The new album will appear in iPhoto for iOS.
