Events have become folders within "From MobileMe" album folder

And they're gone from my events! I'm not even sure how this happened (I don't remember requesting that iPhoto or MobileMe do anything), but this is probably the bug that was fixed in the latest iPhoto update. Unfortunately it's too late for me!
What should I do?
I found the recommendation here (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4328) to cut and paste photos back in their original events, but frankly, this sounds like errors or mistakes just waiting to happen. Besides, there are dozens of events that are gone and transferred to albums!!!
Should I restore my iPhoto Library? How can I tell when the damage was done?

Same thing happened to me. The latest update (9.3.1) didn't undo the damage. Not crazy about trying to rearrange all the photos back to their original events (if I can find them.....)

Wanting additional folders within the photo album folder

Hi, i want to create several folders within Photo Albums, ie holiday pics, movies etc etc.
Currently in itunes, i have 'sync photos from' and i have selected iphone (a folder on my desktop on my pc) and have selected all folders and videos. Within this folder, ther are several folders.
When i sync, under photo albums i get 'Photo Library' and this contains 3 photos from my iphone folder on my PC. There are no folders appearing that i have created etc.
If i choose 'slected folders' instead and then select all the folders it displays on itunes, then sync, under photo albums, the photo library vanishes!
Any ideas of how i put some folders on?
Thanks

How can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture?

how can i find the original picture in the correct event folder from an album folder picture? I can find the link to the original event folder, but is there a way to get right to the picture without having to search visually the event folder?

Depends on whatr you mean
Deleting from your phone does not delete from anywhere else
HOWEVER deleting from your Photo stream does delete from the Photostream so anyone looking at the PS from any device will no longer see the photo
But if your Mac iPhoto is set to automatically impor tphotos form PS or is you have manually imported photos from PS then onc ethey are imported they are on your Mac and change to PS will not affect them
for more on PS see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Hello Per,
did you create the other Mobile Me galleries in iPhoto? If I remember correctly. you can manage each web album only in one application, either Aperture or iPhoto. I cannot test it any longer, since I upgraded to iCloud, but it used to be possible to assign the application (iPhoto or Aperture) for each album when you log into Mobile Me and select the album.

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.

"Tell a Friend" email from MobileMe album - no images or formatting

When I use "tell a friend" from a MobileMe album, it usually calls up "mail" with fancy body text with images of the key album photo with links and a nice layout.
Now, when I use it, it just comes up with plain text as the email message. I don't know why or how I can change it back to the way it used to be.
I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library using the cmd+option launch and checking the last three boxes. Anything else I have missed out? I'm not using any email encryption software as well. Just Apple "mail".
Thanks,
Howie

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is your Mail preferences set for RTF formatting or just plain text? That might be the reason. Set it to RTF if it's not that already. Other than that try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, reboot and try again.

How can I import all my favorites (including folders within) from internet explorer?

In internet explorer my favorites are organised into folders but when I try to import these into firefox only the files that aren't in folders comes across, in this case 1.

If you have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites and the favorites won't end up in a "From Internet Explorer" folder, but will be appended at the end of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks

10.4 doesn't read artwork.jpg from the album folder anymore?

Prior to upgrading to 10.4, I could leave an image called artwork.jpg in the album folder, with the music files, and iTunes would associate it with that album without embedding it in the music files or storing it in the labyrinthine album artwork folders. Now that's stopped working. I have an "album" with over 1000 tracks, and don't want to embed the artwork in each one; is there a workaround?

Never mind — it was a plugin (specifically, Dockart) that hadn't been updated to work with 10.4. Dockart has since been updated and is working perfectly.

Why are the folders within my Iphoto Library folder empty when I have 16000 photos in Iphoto.

I discovered this when I went to move my Iphoto library to an external drive. Eventhough I have 1600 photos in Iphoto my Iphoto Library folder only contains 3.5MB and the Attachments, Masters, Previews and Thumbnails folders are empty. Therefore if I drag this folder (Iphoto Library) to my external hard drive which is what every advice site says to do when backing up Iphoto, I will lose all of my photos. When I see screenshots of the Iphoto folder in the support communities I see the Iphoto icon beside the Iphoto Library in Finder-Pictures but I just have a folder icon.
I am using Iphoto '11 on a 2012 27" Imac running Mountain Lion and want to move Iphoto to an external drive to free up space.

Are you saying that iPhoto is working fine and has 1600 photos in it but when you look in the iPhoto library ther are no photos in Masters, previews or thumbnails? If so then you are not looking at the iPhoto library that iPhoto is using - under the file menu do to the switch library command and seelect it - it will show available iPhoto libraries and the one you are using will be highlighted

Albums missing from iPhoto albums folder

I have just noticed that whenever I create a new album in iPhoto, it does not get put into the pictures>iPhoto Library>albums file. It does not seem to be anywhere when doing a search in finder, although the album is on the iPhoto window. I have older albums, but no newer ones. I like to be able to find photos in albums this way when moving to Photoshop. Any idea where they are and why they are not being created in this file? I cannot find any preferences that would have had them moved and like I said, can't seem to find them anywhere.

New? About 2005 with v5 of the application.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
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.

I have lost pictures in my albums. Only some. I deleted same photos from last 18 months because they were duplicates. Did this make the pictures disappear from yhe albums?

I have lost the pictures in most of my albums. After I creatd the albums, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them. Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased? My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not. Help

Was that in iPhoto on your Mac or on your iPad?
, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.
Then, sorry to say, you will have deleted the photos from your iPhoto library.
Have you checked iPhoto's Trash and the Trash on your Desktop, if the photos are still there? Then put them back from iPhoto's Trash or move them back from the trash basket on your Desktop.
Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?
Albums do not store photos or duplicate photos - they are a way to group photos that are stored in events, just an index, showing you a subset of the photos in the library. A photo can be used in many albums, without needing more storage. When you delete a photo from its event, it will be removed from all albums, and all other views of the iPhoto library. Never delete a phot from its event, unless you want to remove it completely from your iPhoto library. A photo is only a duplicate, unless you have imported the same file twice and you see the copy in an event.
iPhoto has several views, that may show you the same photos in different groupings, for easy access, but do not contain duplicates.
If you cannot retrieve your photos from the Trashs, restore your iPhoto Library from the last backup, that contains all photos. If there is no recent backup, you may want to try recovery software - then stop using your mac and don't do anything that writes to your harddisk, until you recovered, what is still on your disk.
For example,
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
usually makes a very good job of finding any jpegs, that still can be found on the harddrive.
My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not.
I don't understand, why you mention the iPad? Have you synced your photos to your iPad and are there still copies of them in your albums on the iPad?

Am I able to stream from sub folders within the VOD?

Hi guys,
I have Flash Media Server 3.5 on a Windows server, but I don't no much about how to make it work. Until know we have only used it for live streaming.
I have let myself guide through the beginners pages and they're helpful, testing everything locally (applications/babyvultures/streams/_definst_/vultures.mp4).
The problem is when I copy my project to the server; same structure, but no video. If I move the file to the applications/vod/media, and change the path in the script, there is no problems.
So the big question is: am I able to have sub folders within the applications/vod ?
The thing is, that I want to publish videos from different sites that is also located on the server, and what I thought I could do, was to make sub folders, one for each site and then people can access their streaming folder via FTP, being able to publish their own videos with the advantage of rtmp streaming.
Is it a limit in FMS? Or is there a solution?
Thank in advance

My case is that I have FMS 3.5 (not FMIS) installed on a webserver with a bunch of sites who each have their videos, (some more than others).
Right now they all publish their videos via each their site root or videos folder with progressive download, so to improve the viewers experience and to decrease the level uploaded Gb from the server, I want to use the FMS with RTMP streaming.
On the webserver we have a few sites, who has a large quantity of videos and very long ones, and they need to have a sub folder structure to administrate their videos, so it could look like this:
FMSroot/
        applications/
                     vod/
                         site1/
                               folder1
                               folder2
                               folder3/
                                       subfolder1
                         site2/
                               folder1
                               folder2
                               folder3/
                                       subfolder1
I am not planning to make something very complicated with scipts and such. Just a Joomla site and a module where I type in the address of the videos.
I have tested with Adobe Flash, and the beginners samples, to make a script that shows a video from applications/BabyVultures/streams/_definst_/, but I cannot make it work unless I place the video in the VOD.
I have the same problem publishing videos thruogh a Joomla module - I cannot get access to the video.
The funny thing is that, in the Flash Administration Console, it detects and accepts the request, but yet nothing happens.
What is confusing is the MEDIA folder inside the VOD, but it is not part of the stream path name.
What should be the path of the file: vod/subfolder/video.f4v or vod/media/subfolder/video.f4v or something else?
Thanks in advance

Unlock multiple folders within other folders

I have several folders within other folders that when I transferred them from my PC to Mac, became locked for some reason. These are folders that contain music files. (mp3,.wma, etc) My question is rather than going into each folder and unlocking the sub folder, is there a way to unlock all folders and their subfolders. ex. Folder named "Metallica" has folders within named "...and Justice For All" and "Reload" The Metallica folder is unlocked but the folders with in are not. Can anyone help? Thanks

Welcome to Discussions, dozer5000!
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and copy the blue text in. DO NOT PRESS RETURN YET!
chflags -R nouchg
after the "g" in "nouchg", type a space. Then go to the folder you want to unlock in Finder ("Metallica", I think you said), and drag it into Terminal. Now press return.
That should fix it.
Good luck!

Link several Albums into 1 MobileMe album

I have several albums that I have merged to create one MobileMe album.
Is there any way that when I add/remove a photo from any of these albums it automatically updates the MobileMe album too?
Many thanks,
Leonardo

No - iPhoto syncs the MobileMe album to MobileMe - not anything else
Just add the photo to the MobileMe alum in the source pane on the left - that is the one that syncs

Events have become folders within "From MobileMe" album folder
