Events missing and photos in new iPhoto update

Moments are the new Events. All of your events in iPhoto are not Moments in Photo and were also brought over as an album. Open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination and look in the folder titled "iPhoto Events". There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

Anyway to batch-redate photos in new iPhoto ?

Hi there,
just upgraded to new iPhoto and already updated to 9.1.1 ...
Besides the good stuff, I am really confused that I cannot go on with some of my old habbits. Maybe somebody knows, where the "right-klick" to "re-date" photos option has gone. Actually I could not find any possibility to change the date of a photo. Or even batch-redate a bunch of photos in new iPhoto 9 ?
BTW: here on a new MacPro nu iPhoto is really snappy ... has to - of course !!!!
Thanx for some help !

How do I import old photos into new iPhoto library?

I have a new macbook pro running iphoto 11. I am trying to import my photos onto the new computer from my old computer, running iphoto 8. I mounted the old computer as a hard disk, but when I go to import the photos into new iphoto library on the new computer, the old iphoto library is "grayed" out under the users/pictures/iphoto location.
How do I transfer the photos?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Missing all photos from my iphoto library

when I open up iphoto there are no photos in my library. the photos have not been deleted, because the size of the library is still 100gb. i have tried rebuilding, but this did not bring back the photos. any help is appreciated!

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Very disappointing why do I need a camera on my iPad to manage edit photos in new iPhoto app?

Very disappointing why do I need a camera on my iPad to manage edit photos in new iPhoto app?

That's just a visual differentiator so folks can easily tell if it will run on their machine. The difference is the RAM and processor in the iPad 2 and iPad (New). The camera has nothing to do with the physical requirements.

I just saved my iphoto original library to my external hard drive, now how do i create new space on my hard drive and create a new iphoto library

Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

I have bought and downloaded the new iphoto but it is not installing. I have restarted my computer and the problem continues. Help!

My contacts and photos were erased while update how do i get them back?

my contacts and photos were erased while update how do i get them back?

What Kilted said. If your photos or contacts were synced from another computer, get them there. Or if they have become unchecked in iTunes, re-check them and then sync. I had different things synced from two computers, and I think something like this happened to me. Anyway, now I will sync by wifi so probably won't have this worry any more.

Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Heya David,
If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
- Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
- Restart your computer again
- Test and see how its working
Hope that helps!

Importing old albums and photo data from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto6

Hi-
I recently got a Macbook Pro to replace my Powerbook G4 whose hard drive died. Luckily before it totally died, I got my iPhoto Library folder backed up on an external hard drive. I have all the album data files and library files as well as all the folders of photos.
I was running iPhoto 5 on my old machine, and this one came with iPhoto 6. I'm happy to have the upgrade, but I can't figure out how to import all the albums themselves and the data associated with the photos.
All I've been able to do is import the photos folder by folder from the "Originals" folder. The problem is that now all the photos are showing the date and time of when they were copied to the external drive, not when they were taken, and they are no longer sorted into albums.
I know that there must be a way to get back my data without going through and individually changing the dates on all the photos and trying to figure out what albums they belonged in and when they were taken. In the meantime, I have over 4000 photos which are sorted in absolutely no manner and have completely nonsensical dates!
I tried copying the files from the old iPhoto Library folder (AlbumData.xml, Dir.data, Library.cache, and Library.data) into my new iPhoto Library folder, but apparently there is something else that needs to be done, since this effectively did nothing.
Any help that anyone can give would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Lunarcleo:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. All you need to do is copy your V5 library folder intact into the Pictures folder on the MBP. I'd then download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. This is just to make sure the ownership and access is correctly set before you run iPhoto 6 and update the library to the new version.
When you first launch iPhoto 6 is will tell you that it needs to update the library so select Update. That's all there is to it. Then V6 library will have all of the albums, keywords, comments, etc. that the V5 version had.

New IPHOTO UPDATE

Problem with the newest IPHOTO update today, photos don't loop around to the beginning, they freeze and don't move at all, only backward. Anyone else having the same problem?

If you double click on a photo in an event you'll get this window:
When you click on the right arrow in the upper right hand cornder you will scroll thru your photos and with continued clicking return to the beginning to continue thru again.

Transfering bookmarks and photos to new Macbook

I just got a new Macbook Pro and I would like to transfer my bookmarks, music and photos from my old imac. what is the best way. I tried Migration Assistant but that just transfers your files, apps, and network settings.

1. Use a USB flash drive to transfer data.
2. Use an external USB or Firewire drive to transfer data.
3. Connect both computers to our network and transfer wired or wirelessly.
4. Use Target Disk Mode to copy data from one computer to another.
Your bookmarks are located in /Home/Library/Safari/ folder. Your iPhoto library is located in the /Home/Pictures/ folder. Your iTunes data are located in the /Home/Library/Music/iTunes/ folder (copy the entire folder.) Be sure to also copy the preference files for Safari, iPhoto, and iTunes located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. They will start with "com.apple." and end in ".plist."
Here's a list of stuff you can move:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
For FireFox:
/Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
/Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist

Transfering Music and Photos to New MacBook

Hi.I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro and have just recently purchased a brand new MacBook. I was wondering what the best way to transfer all my music and photos to my new mac would be. I have a big external hard drive so would it be worth just copy the root folders on to my external and then transferring them to my new Mac. There is a lot of junk on my old MacBook so I don’t want a straight transfer I just want to be able to transfer the items that I want to keep.
Thanks Matt

If you have a FireWire Cable, then another idea could be Target Disk Mode, which is explained here:

Keyword Tags lost after loading PSE and photos on new computer

I purchased a new Wondows 7 computer and loaded PSE 8 which was running on my old computer. I had transferred all data from old computer using a Belkin Data Transfer Cable. I opened my PSE 8 and photos were there but none of the Keyword Tags assigned to the pictures were there. So I deleted those pictures and transferred all my pictures using the Backup Catalogue selection under file and restored the pix on my new computer using the Restore Backup from file. Still no Keyword Tags. What do I need to do to get the tags?

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I did restore to new location, drive J, and chose "maintain folder structure". So, the catalog and a complete set of my photos was copied to the new external drive J. However, the catalog is still linked to the original set of my photos that are still on drive M. Any ideas?
