Cannot place photos in events anymore

I don't have that many photos or events (7,000, ok, a lot) but I now have discovered that I cannot place photos into events anymore, and I cannot create new events. Previously I had photos organized into both events (by country) and into photo albums (by occasion). Now I can no longer add/combine photos into events (after the upgrade to Photos). So my Japan photos can't be placed into my old Japan (event), only into my photo albums (for occasion). This really is irritating. I hope there is a way to fix it. Of course Herblock's Law seems to be Apple's new motto: If it's good, they'll stop making it.
I hope there is a fix soon.

I agree. Kind of ***** that Apple would remove that. I am still using iPhoto for now, since the upgrade did not remove it. I will be forced to look for alternatives as well. I'll add whatever I find to my current list for Apple fixes:
TotalFinder to fix annoying wide tabs in Finder windows.
TotalSpaces to bring back the old Expose.
Ejector to allow me to actually eject drives without being annoyed by pop-up windows. It's like Regis lives in my Mac. ARE YOU SURE???
Dropbox because iCloud is being blocked by my proxy at work.
Tuxera NTFS because NTFS is not supported on the Mac.
Hosts because it is easier to perform brain surgery on a cockroach than navigate the Terminal to make hosts file entries.
calibre because iBooks only provides one type of view. calibre provides a nice list view, easier to navigate than squinting, trying to read book covers when you have 300+ epubs.
cdock so I can get my 3D dock back.
1Password because there is no easy way to edit/change entries for passwords in Keychain Access. Oh, and 1Password also stores software licenses. Oh, and 1Password also works with Dropbox (see above).
Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion because they still support Windows OSs that Boot Camp won't.
OpenOffice because Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are....well, they are what they are.
And I miss Glims. Used to get rid of those annoying wide tabs in Safari, not anymore. Oh wait...now I use Firefox.
I also wish someone would develop a plugin for Safari that would bring the Snow Leopard RSS reader back, not the eye-squint that exists now.

Cannot drag photos from one event to another-

I cannot drag photos between events following the instructions in Help and I cannot drag photos to any album new or otherwise.
This version seems to be not all that great…

I've been using Apple products since '74.
Wow.
I cannot find the photos from another app; i.e., tried to look for the iPhoto folder and found instead an iPhoto file. When the file is selected, selected iPhoto opens. This file must be the phots -- it's 5 GB!
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.
Finally, you can drag and drop pics from the iPhoto Window to the addressbook - and many other applications.
When you say:
I cropped a photo in iPhoto and the original disappeared!
Can you describe exactly where this happened?
You create new topics in the Forum - Installing and Using iPhoto 08, in this case. The link is up there. You can't create a new topic in a thread.

Cannot select photo events with iPhone anymore with new upgrade - can we only use the cloud now?

Hello,
I used to be able to select events from iPhoto that I wanted to appear in my phone. I cannot use photo stream for various reasons. The last time I synced my iPhone it would not allow me to select any events at all, but only reverted to the recent photo stream ONLY. Which means that none of my old photos can now be found on my iPhone. I hate this - I want some of my old photos. Why can't I select my old events? Please help!

Thank you so much for your answer! Yes, this is my 1st time to the community too, again thank you! Okay, here's the sequence that 'may' help explain; 1st- My son got an Iphone 4 & wanted to buy songs, etc., so I added his phone to my Itunes acct..--he consequently signs on under my email address (my Apple ID) & my PW. No problem then, it had/has listed ex. Mom's Iphone & Son's Iphone (mine is a 4s, don't think that makes a difference- except in telling u that Siri doesn't work properly now either & refers to my son's name now instead of mine!) As far as I can tell, the real problems began with the ICloud settings on our Iphones--meaning the settings on 'where' to back our phone's- ICloud or to the Laptop (both phones back up to the same laptop.) It's so complicated I can hardly explain it, so sorry if I'm bouncing around! I did not mean to or rather it was not an intentional decision to use the same ICloud, however since we share the same comp. and Itunes account, and basically passwords--it somehow happened. I don't know how to undo this mess! Last night I went to ICloud.com & was able to sign on with my son's @me.com user ID & our Itunes PW (aka-Apple ID.) It really didn't do anything except show me Iphone features, ex. Contacts, Ibook, etc.. I did 'not' see a place where I could change any settings, like to possibly change his Apple ID, or pw...that's all I can think of to change? And even with that I'm not sure how to do that...he's 14, a minor--so he has to be under my settings to a degree. Don't mind at all having seperate ID's, but we do share "some" music and app's for example. Is any of this making sense or even partially explaining my problems? Thank you in advance!

I downloaded 200 photos, an event folder was created, I could see all the photos and was in the process of editing them when I got a message that iPhoto unexpectedly quit. I cannot find the photos anywhere on my computer now. Is there anything to do?

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

My Photoshop CS 5 has some strange actions when I copy a portion of a photo using the clone stamp to transfer to another part of the image. It carries the entire layer (not just the stamps selection) across the screen and I cannot place it where I need t

My Photoshop CS 5 has some strange actions when I copy a portion of a photo using the clone stamp to transfer to another part of the image. It carries the entire layer (not just the stamps selection) across the screen and I cannot place it where I need to. It appears as if I selected the entire layer on purpose (which I did not)
The below items appeared when I opened Photoshop CS 5:
“Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled G & U enhancements. Check the video card malfunctions website for latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the performance panel of preferences.”
(I believe this started after the automatically updated Windows was applied. It was coincident with the before mentioned problem . . . but I don’t really know if it had anything to do with it. )

For the Clone Stamp problem, check the Clone Source panel and Clipped is probably unchecked.
If so, check Clipped and see if that makes a difference.
(Window>Clone Source)
As to the video card problem:
Which version of windows are you using?
What is the make and model of your graphics card?
Do you know which update windows installed?

I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date. This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date. This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

I actually am illiterate on the use of the finder to to view photos in folders. I guess I will go to a class at the local Apple store for a lesson on the uses of finder .
My method of viewing my photos are through events in I photo.
1. Download from camera or scan in from old photos.
2 I organize photos into events by occasion, or happenings in a certain year, or a group of photos with memorabilia of a certain person from childhood and on. etc.
3. Because Iphoto does not allow rearranging as I was able to do in my old PC with Corell, I drag all of the photos to an " album" on the left side of sceen.
4. I arrange photos in "order" after which I number each photo in sequence. I do this for a few of reasons.
          - if a photo is accidentally deleted I know it. I can usually remedy this by checking my trash or
rescanning.
          - I can sort by title without complications and this holds in "album"
5. The pictures will re arrange automatially to match the album in I photo.
6. This worked great in I-photo 09 but now in mountain lion the pictures in events go back to "
sort by date" and will not hold "sort to Title"each time I photo is closed down. What a nuicance it is to have to go to view and click "title" again and again every time Iphoto is opened.
7. Can I go back to Photo 09? .

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)

Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
- If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Placement of new events and imported photos

With iPhoto 09 it seems that when importing new pictures that the new event now falls at the end of the window so that I must scroll down to look at my most recent photos. It seems that they used to appear at the top of the main iPhoto window. Can I reverse this for events and also the imported photos themselves so that all new photos and events are at the top rather than at the bottom?

Yes just change the Sort Order for Events, it is in the VIew menu.

Cannot see photos after upgrading to iPhoto 9.1.3

I upgraded my iPhoto to 9.1.3 and now I cannot see some of my photos. iPhoto indicates the photos are there, but all I see is blank dotted frames where thumbnails should be. When I click on one of the photos I get a gray out frame with an exclamation in the middle. I tried rebuilding the library/thumbnails, extracting using iPhoto LIbrary Manager, checking disk permissions/repairing in Utilties, etc. I tried every suggestions and recommendations I found on the net, but I still cannot see those files. I regret deleting them off my camera disc. These are the only masters I have. So I can't copy them back into the library. If anyone know how I can retrieve these files, please let me know. I also went back in my Time Machine and the same files are all empty gray frames. All I know is that the files were "visible" before the upgrade and now I can't see them after the upgrade. Any suggestions?

Hi - yes I did that last night and unlike rebuilding via control option route, IPLM did not rebuild those files. It stated they do not exist. I double checked by "Show Package Contents" and the master of those files is no longer there. My next move is to go into Time Machine and see if I can restore the library from when the files were still in there (though unseen by iPhoto) and hope the master are still recoverable. If that doesn't work, then I'm at the point of accepting that perhaps I may have lost 51 photos (1 event) during this upgrade. I'm still open to suggestions though.

Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
Are they there?

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events. The only place I can see them is in the "Last Import" folder. When I try to re-import them it pops up the Duplicate warning which means they are in the library but not showing up. Any ideas?

If they are in last import then they should be there - check the date on one of the photos in last import and look for that date in your library - last import, photos and events are simply different ways of viewing the same photos - if they are there in one view they are there in all views - somewhere
Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere, just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)
