Hiding 'originals', showing 'events'

It seems to me that I used to be able to look at photos divided up as events, not just as either events or photos. I also used to be able to hide the originals. I can't see to do either any more and it makes it harder to work with organizing my pictures. Any idea how to get it back?

I'm honestly not sure I understand what features you are looking for but let me take a crack at it:
When you are in iPhoto '09 there should be a side bar on the left hand side of the screen.
At the top of the side bar there is the header in gray "Library".
Beneath that you should see "Events" and "Photos". Click on Events to see your photos sorted as Events. Click on Photos to see your photos all laid out.
Additionally, once you are in the Photos view, go to the View menu at the top of the screen. From here you can show / hide pictures that you have "hidden".
If that isn't what you are looking for let me know

How can I stop iPhoto from showing Events?

HI Folks,
I've used iPhoto for a long time, and I am just completely frustrated at the existence of "Events."
Every single time I take a photo and import it, I get a new event.
Even worse, I have hundreds of unnamed "Events" because that method of organizing my photos makes no sense at all.
When I import, there are generally multiple "events" documented in one import.
Now I have to spend hours breaking up Events into smaller "Events" just to have it makes sense.
Not very useful.
The worst usability offense with Events, is that iPhoto defaults to displaying the Events page when it opens.
Apple...I don't EVER want to see my photos organized by Events. EVER.
MY questions:
1. Please please tell me how I can remove the Events page completely.
2. If that is not possible, please tell me how I can tell iPhoto to default to showing me the Photos page, NOT the Events page.
3. Also, how can I view my photos on the Photos page without being broken up into events? (Without losing metadata like the date)
Thanks,

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
Make sure show event titles is off
and you can merge or split events to make them more useful - you can not "turn them off" since they are just one of several optional views of your photos

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

HT4740 How can I avoid or solve the problem of Final Cut Pro crashes when trying to Show Events Library?

When I try to Show Events Library in Final Cut Pro, it crashes each time. Please tell me how do I work around this problem?

Try creating a new (temporary) folder and putting all your events in there - then launch FCP X.
If you can open the Browser, then it's possible one or more of the clips in one of your events is corrupt. Close the app and move the events back into their original places one by one (re-starting FCP X each time). This will help you find the event which has the corrupt file in it.
If isolating the events has no effect, I suggest you trash your preferences.
Unexplained faults like this can often be fixed by clearing out FCP X's preferences (for some reason, they get knotted up from time to time).
Download Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager (free, simple to use, and perfectly safe, both to download and use).
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
With Preference Manager, you can backup the Prefs when FCP X (or any of the Apple Professional Applications) are working normally. Then when either of the applications are acting strangely, Trash the Preferences, then Restore from your backups (just a mouse-click).
If you trash the prefs and don't restore them, you will need to manually restore all your FCP X settings again, so it's a great idea to backup Preferences from time to time when FCP X is working well, then your backups are up to date.
Doesn't fix every problem, but it fixes a lot.

I wanted to know if others were having difficulties getting All Day Events appear in the Notification Center in iOS 7. Currently my Calendar in the notification center will show events that are at certain times, but they will not display All Day Events.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Is there a way of making Maverick's Calendar application NOT to automatically show event times?

Is there a way of making Maverick's Calendar application NOT to automatically show event times?

I wonder if this Option (named Show Event Times in Mountain Lion) is simply not there anymore in Mavericks or if the Checkbox is simply missing and while come back in future Updates of Mavericks?
Is there a way to disable the "Show Event Times" maybe through the Terminal?

How to intercept a dataTips 'show' event (list control)?

Hi people,
I'm using a list control with showDataTips property set to true, so as dataTips are automatically displayed when the text is too long for the row. The point is that I need to preserve this condition (i.e. I don't want dataTips to be displayed when the row entirely contains the text) but my goal is to delegate the datatips 'show' event to another control. However I cannot figure out how to intercept that event. As any UIComponent the list control dispatches a toolTipShow event but this doesn't regard dataTips
I suppose I could just disable showDataTips and implement my own logics using the itemRollOver event. But, in that case, how to check whether the text is too long for the row?
Thanks for any help,

Upgraded to OS6 on iPad and now iPhoto doesn't show "Events". What's the deal?

iPad 2 iPhoto always showed Events but since upgrading to iOS 6, "Events" are gone. What is the fix?

Puchased iPhoto app for iPad and none of my photos except for camera roll that's on iCloud came up. Tried to sync all my photos on MacBook to iPad, that didn't work. "Photos" app still has all my photos but nothing under events which brings me back to the original problem. Time to go to the Genius Bar.

Ical appears translucent in dock and will not show events when opened

Has anyone recently experienced iCal appearing translucent in the dock? This is weird and just recently started happening. Once iCal is launched it appears normal in the dock but goes back to translucent when I quit. Our MacBook Pro is brand new just a few weeks old and all the software is up to date. Also, even weirder, suddenly the events are not showing up in the month view when launched. I can go back to December and then move to January and then they appear. I made sure that the preferences are checked to show times and that in View "show the to do list" is selected. Whenever it has been launched the calendar is blank and will only show events after view or preferences have been manipulated. Any help would be appreciated..

kkovardfd,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Do you have any duplicate fonts? If so, make sure to resolve duplicates with Font Book.
Remove the iCal icon from the Dock, and replace it with the iCal Application located in your Applications folder.
Open System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats> and set/re-set your appropriate "Region."
After deleting the iCal plist, also delete the com.apple.Dock.plist, log out/in from your account, or restart the computer. Your Dock will revert to default appearance.

Can ical show events side by side?

Now that Apple has discontinued sync between Calendar and Outlook, is there a way to have Calendar show events side by side instead of overlapping? Calendar is nearly unreadable this way. Frankly, Outlook's side by side is better but it is time consuming to transfer them to Calendar in order to sync with iPad and iPhone.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Greetings,
If you display fewer hours you can easily see 15 minute intervals. At least in the day view.

Upgrading to 10.6.1, iCal not showing events

After having upgraded to Snow Leopard, my iCal data has been corrupted. The calendar now only shows events from the beginning of this year (2009), except for the birthdays. Restoring under 10.6.1 from the backup file (backup under 10.5.9) gives the same result.
I have searched the forum for answers. It seems to be a lot of trouble with SL and iCal, but I so far cannot find any solution to my problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After careful thinking I found the solution to my problem. The solution might be helpful to others, I therefore post it.
1. I booted from the Synchronize Pro X disk. Logged on (to the backup disk with OSX 10.5.8) and then opened my MobileMe account from System Preferences.
2. I set up synchronizing manually the Contacts and Calendars with MobileMe.
3. I synchronized the Contacts and Calendars.
4. Quit all and rebooted from my Master disk with 10.6.1
5. Opened my MobileMe account from System Preferences.
6. I set up synchronizing as under no 2.
7. I synchronized Contacts and Calendars (or rather merged them)
8. Quit my MobileMe account.
9. Opened my iCal - and - voila, there they all were - my events from 2004 onwards to this day!
