How can i organize a huge number of events?

I just began with mac and iphoto. I imported a lot of photos from windows (google picasa) in iphoto (>17000). Now I have a huge number of events, which i would like to sort by e.g. years and months. Within the years and months, the events should be placed.
Is this possible or what would you suggest to handle a lot of photos?
Thank you in advance for any helpful answer.

Assuming that you have events sorted by date (event menu ==> sort events) your events will be sorted by date & time - you can not create a substructure within events - it is a large flat set of photos
If you want a hierarchal structure use albums and folders - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders - you also can use smart albums to instantly find all photos from a date or a date range - or the search window in the lower left
Events a a very basic, inflexible and pretty much automatic organization - just a starting point to hold photos
I generally merge trips into a single event and leave the other time based - others merge even more having events like 1st quarter 2010 etc

  • Organize a huge number of events

    I have more than 220 events to maintain a 10 year old photo colection (40Gb). Im searching for some kind of folders to group events. Something like event of events, that could permit to open or close the line like in the photo view happens when you click in the name of the event.
    I dont want to use diferent librarys, i have iphoto library manager.
    thanks

    There isn't one.
    Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
    You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated. You cannot group Events into folders.
    Use Albums instead. These can be grouped into Folders. You can make an Album from an Event simply by dragging the Event to the Album heading in the iPhoto Window.
    Then consolidate the Events into larger groupings: I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library.

    If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

    How do I organize a huge (120GB+, but alot of duplicates) music library with iTunes?  Thanks!

    If you do not want the duplicate files, maybe the best thing to do first is to eliminate as many duplicates as you can..
    You can use iTunes: View/Show Duplicate Items
    Or you could use one a script

  • How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as on my Mac? And, not just Collections/Events/Year?

    How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as they are on my Mac in iphoto? I want to see more than just a sort by Collection/Event/year.

    You'll need to wait for all these things to come out to beta testing for that kind if detailed help. But at the moment it seems that you make the Albums in your  Photos.app on the Mac or iOS device and these then turn up on the Library in the Cloud. I can see no way to create albums in a web browser, and iPhoto doesn't communicate with the Library.

  • How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?, How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?

    How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories? I have over 4000 contacts and need to organize them as clients, personal, etc. I used to be able to do this in Blackberry but have not found a way to do it with the iPhone.

    I don't think that function is possible with IOS.   The only thing I see is you can put the company that the contact is with for clients. 
    there maybe an app that can do that, try doing a search.

    Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

    I want to delete my credit card from my account and only use gift cards.  How can I delete my card number?

    You'll want to get in touch with ITunes support for this. Normally when you start an account with the CC you can't remove it yourself. But by contacting iTunes they can get that taken off for you.
