Finder shows only dates and not Event Names???

Hi all,
When browsing through Finder to copy some photos for other applications, some of my event names show up as names and some show up as the dates the photos were taken... but all the events have been named and show as such in iPhoto '09 Why is that?
Thanks,
Joe

The power of iPhoto is its relational database - but that does mean you have to use it - it is not a file based system and takes a different way of thinking -- and note that even if you cheat and go directly into the database successfully the structure probably will change in the future that has occurred in the last several versions - so it pays to use the correct methods - which IMHO Terence has documented much better than Apple has

  • Why is my browser showing only http and not https

    Why is my browser showing only http and not https//

    Western (ISO 8859-1) is the default encoding in Firefox.<br />
    That web page doesn't specify an encoding and the server doesn't send one either, so the default in Firefox is used.<br />
    If you get those diamonds then you either have a wrong encoding set or there is a problem with the (Verdana) font that is used.

  • IPhoto Originals File now by Date and not Event - why?

    Ever since I upgraded to iPhoto 09, I realized the original file structure in the iPhoto Library has changed back to Dates, rather than by Events, even though all my photos belong in a non-date event. This is the same as Iphoto 06. I got used to the Event structure in iPhoto 08.
    All my previous events are still intact, but I have this problem for my new pics where if I put them in an event, the original file structure would be sorted by date. This is very annoying if I want to send an event to someone or if I'm using Front Row/Boxee to view a particular event. Does anyone have the same issue? I thought if I put a photo into an event, it would automatically update in the file structure immediately as well.
    As you can see below, some files are sorted by Events and some files are sorted by Dates:
    This is my 2009 iPhoto Originals file:

    Is there anyway I can have this file organised by Events and not Dates?

    No.
    The strict link between the Events in the iPhoto Window and the folders in the Finder was broken with iPhoto 09 and no one outside of Apple knows why.
    However, it shouldn't matter, because you ahould not be accessing the files inside the iPhoto Package File anyway - bluntly it's not a supported way of accessing the files.
    Make Albums of the photos to view in other apps.
    fwiw:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    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. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    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.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    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.

  • HT6337 Continuity works but iPad shows only callers number not its name, why?

    I have two fresh systems on my iPad Air and iPhone 6  both 8.1.2
    Continuity works but on receiving a call iPad will only show callers number not its name - why. Caller is part of contacts

    Are your contacts using an iCloud account?  Is this same iCloud account used on your iPad and iPhone?  I believe that would be required to see the contact's name on your iPad.

  • Finder shows only aliases and no files!

    I recently reinstalled a 2008 mini with 10.5.8 to regain the use of deleted iLife and on its way to using Snow Leopard after a disasterous loss of use of peripherals following 'upgrading' to Lion.  It's main use is as a storage drive so I don't spend much time gazing at it, hence my surprise to see that, in Finder, the startup volume - it has three partitions - only shows drive alaises and no files or folders at all.
    This occurs when the said main partition 'Hard Disk' icon is selected in the sidebar and only aliases for the other partitions and attached drives show on the right pane.  When the 'Computer' icon is selected, all drives appear on the right and when the main partition is selected, its full complement of files etc. is shown.  It is as though the contents of the /Volumes folder is all that the main drive's icon can display.
    I have run Disk Utility and Repaired Disk Permissions the said partition/volume and Verify Disk-ed the whole hard disk.
    Although my intention is to upgrade this install to Snow Leopard, I don't want to do that only to find myself with a crippled drive display.
    Any suggestions about getting the drive to display correctly?

    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
    Setup your Finder Preferences for the Sidebar again.

  • Newly imported photos only show up in "photos" and not "events"

    When I import photos, why do they now only show up in the "photos" section of my library, and not "events"? I see them in photo stream, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the left-hand column in iPhoto, the sections under "Library."  I saw on the answer to someone else's question that photos can only be in one place at a time, either "events" or photo stream, but then why are they also showing up in "photos"? And I use the "events" thing more than I do photo stream, so I'd like to be able to just automatically have all my events there--OR see photo stream organized by events as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    why do they now only show up in the "photos" section of my library, and not "events"?
    If they are in the Photos listing then they are also in Events somewhere. These are two view of exactly the same material - two windows into the same room, as it were.
    Right-click one of the photos and select 'Show Event' from the resulting menu.

  • Email workflow showing domain and alias and not the name in the email

    I created an email workflow for a specific user field value to receive an email on a trigger event.
    However, the email received shows the DOMAIN/Alias and not the "Name" in the email content.
    How to correct this error? Not sure where is the issue is.
    Sample:
    Hello [%Current Item: Reviewer%] is the greeting line.
    If Reviewer is say Domain A/v-abcd and Name is Abcd.
    The email reads
    "Hello Domain A/v-abcd" and not "Hello Abcd"

    Hi,
    Just select "Display Name" instead of "Login Name" in the "Return field as" field of Lookup dialog.
    It should help.

  • When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • Planned order creation with PDS valid on only order start date and not finish date

    Hi All,
    We have requirement to allow creation of planned order manually if production version is valid on order start date and not finish date.  This is because lead time of order is longer. I refered OSS notes 385602. I could find out solution for this is implementation of OSS note 694140 to change validity mode at activity level to consider start date of first produce activity  in validity interval. Problem is even If I create order in APO by implementiong this note planned order is not transfered to ECC and it gets stuck with error production version not valid.
    Is there any way in ECC to control this? Any config or customization?
    Regards,
    Santosh

    Nilesh,
    I think there is a simple procedural skip happening in your business process. You are right when a planned order is created after MRP it would default assign it to the first available production version. 2options available for us,
    1. First use transaction MF50 and do the line loading and assign the quantites to the production versions/Production lines, so that the actual capacity planning is getting completed. This way you can have planned orders with both the production versions and matching to your actual line capacity.
    2. Use Quota arrangement concept, to automatically split the Planned orders during MRP for a percentage based on individual production versions.
    Now when backflush is performed S225 table is updated and Planned order qty also gets reduced.
    Hope this helps....
    Regards,
    Prasobh
