Hi, I want to select some photos in my library and name them in order, e. g. "1980s 01, 1980s 02" etc. Is it possible some how?

I have so many pictures in my library and need to get them in order. I want to keep some pictures in the same folder, but in that folder I'd like to organize them in numerous order. E.g. pictures from the 80s, as in my question above, is there an app or function in iPhoto that helps you organize them in chronological order?

No - that is not how iPhoto works
First off folders do not hold photos - folders and albums are use for the type of organization you want and albums hold photos and folders hold albums or folders
is there an app or function in iPhoto that helps you organize them in chronological order?
That is the default way photos are organized in iPhoto - in event view look under the view menu ==> sort events
A smart album can collect all of the pictures between two dates

You can add titles to photos in iPhoto

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

Copy the routines into a new folder on your hard drive. Then burn the folder to a new blank disc using Disk Utility.

Selecting same photo in film strip and library module

When I select a photo in the library module, the same photo is not selected in my film strip, how do I change this?
The problem is when I select a photo in the library and then click develop, the photo that loads in the develop module is the one I have selected in the film strip, not the one I just clicked on in the library module. In my previous version of LR when I select a photo in the library module the same photo would become selected in the film strip so this problem would never occur, I am trying to find a way to restore this setting.
Also when I click "Ctrl A" in the Library module it selects all photos in my film strip, I would like to select all photos in library module instead so I can click "Sync Settings".
Thanks for your help!

What version of Windows? I'm using Windows 7 with 8 GB RAM, and don't see those problems. I would suggest that you upgrade to the current version, 5.7.1.
Product updates
The other suggestion would be to delete your Lightroom preferences so that Lightroom can generate a new preferences file.

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

I want to take a photo, of a person, and put in it in the middle of a flower. How do I do that?

Never used this before and am not sure if I'm doing this right.

In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

In iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?

The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop.

I want to add a photo as an attachment and NOT have it pictured in the body of the email.

When I click on the paper clip to attach, it always is pictured in the email.

When you took this photograph your phone was being held in that way. Sideways, try taking the photo straight on. Or it is the Picture file itself, open up the application you edit photos with and rotate it to be proper orientation. I recently had the same problem but you either have to retake or edit it at this point.

I want to export my photos with the title and info attached

I want to export my photos with the title and info attached but cannot seem to do it with this new os.

Are you confusing Titles and Filenames by any chance?
When you email you're sending a file. The email client sees the Filename. The title is in the Exif metadata of the file and the email app doesn't see this - neither will the Finder or filebrowser.
You can export (as above) and opt to use the Title as Filename - it's there at the Filename section.

My iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?

You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

Deleting photos from the Library and Disk

When I delete photos from my iPhoto 5 library because I don't want the photo anymore and would like to free up disk space, it is easy enough to do. However when I look in my Library folders, the image still exists in the Month/Day folders. I had to review all of those folder to find the photos I just deleted and delete them again, at that point I gained the disk space I was hoping for. Is there a more straight forward way to delete the photo from the disk at the same time you are deleting it from the library? Ideally some fancy keyboard combo.

hi Blake,
images you delete in the iPhoto library are not deleted from hard drive UNTIL you empty iPhoto's trash bin. iPhoto keeps the image from your view in the library but it is still sitting safely in the dated folder in the finder, just in case you change your mind. When you are absolutely sure you want to delete the image go to the menu bar and hit iPhoto/Empty trash (there is also a keyboard shortcut listed there. I think it is shift command Delete.)
The trash bin is all the way on the bottom of the source column.
You can control click on the trash icon and empty the trash that way too.
Make sure you empty the trash often and don't let too many images pile up there. iPhoto has been known to choke on trying to trash too many images at a time.
