How do I re-establish Events in iPhoto 11?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.4 w/ a 2.66 ghz intel core i7, 4 GB of memory and am currently using iPhoto 11 9.3.1. I recently upgrade from iPhoto '09 8.1.2.
I was using iPhoto '09 to import pictures from a card, Upon completion all my evnts were gone. I tried to re-install them from my time capusle but that did not work. Now I have a bunch of events that are organized by dates.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tiburon

We are missing something. If you restored a backup from before the problem properly then you have exactly what you had at the time of the backup. Same photos. No photos that have been imported since. Same event names etc
Going forward consider using events as time based buckets of photos (the default and normal way to use them) and albums and folders for your organization. I think you will like it better
And unless we figure this out you are going to need to reorganize. A good time to change
Any thoughts on things you have not mentioned or other thing you have noticed that might help figure this out?

How do i recover lost events in iPhoto?

how do i recover lost events in iPhoto?

We need to know more to be able to help. What caused your events to be lost? What happened?
And in what way are the events lost? Does your iPhoto Library show less events all of a sudden? Did events accidentally get merged?

HT1229 How I can save my EVENTS of IPhoto , from my old Mac , in my external disc to transfer it into my new Mac

Hi, i need help !
I need to save All my EVENTS of iPhoto in my external hard disk, to transfer the EVENTS to my new Mac .
Please help! When I try to do it the name as I organice it disappear.
How can I do it?

You need to transfer your iPhoto Library intact as a single entity - Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

How to copy photos in events in iphoto 08

I have 7500 photos in 72 events in iPhoto (08) on my MacPro. I want to make a copy so I can put it on my kid's laptop for when she goes to college. If I use Export, it exports all the photos to an external drive, but will that keep the file structure necessary so that when I Import to the laptop it is organised back into Events?
Thanks for the help.
Mark

Sorry but that makes no sense -- if you "copied" the library then the copy is the same as the original
You should NEVER be going inside of the iPhoto library and looking or changing the files or structure - there is never a ned to do so and any change no matter how small can corrupt your library and cause loss of data
There is no importing involved - you simply copy the library over to the pictures folder of the new computer and launch iPhoto - very simple and eash
Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

How can I add albums/events on iPhoto (for iPad)?

Using only my iPad (if possible), how can I create new albums and events on iPhoto?

Use the Photo app on your iPad to create and name a new album.
Photos > Album View > Edit > New Album
The new album will appear in iPhoto for iOS.

How can I arrange my events in iPhoto for iPad?

How to arrange my events in the new iPhoto for iPad?

The first thing I noticed when I started iPhoto on my iPad for the first time was that the photo changed their order from the album in the Photo app. That means if I try to make a slide show the photos are not arranged the way I would want them. My photos were originally arranged in time order on iPhoto on my Mac and that arrangement came through to the photo album in the Photo app. But not in iPhoto on the iPad. I wonder why?
Also, to make a slide show on my iPad I seem to be stuck with the photos in that messed up sequence. Seems like anyone who makes a slide show might want to rearrange the order of their photos of better impact. Hopefully this will be addressed in a future update.
Or perhaps I'm missing something. Anyone know how to change the order of the photos in the preview thumbnails?

How to move Projects and Events with iPhoto video included in iMovie '11?

I work with a group of educators using iPads for video. One method for getting their clips into iMovie '11 is via iPhoto and then using the iPhoto Video link in iMovie to get the footage on a timeline (trying to import directly into iMovie '11, using the iPad as a "camera", has proved inconsistent, especially with footage from iStopMotion or Filmic Pro 1 and 2).
The problem is, when it comes time to copy or move an event and project, the iPhoto clips don't come along; they are dependent on the iPhoto library, so you can't continue editing on a different machine. I tried File > Consolidate Media, but it was inactive (in my test project, all clips came from iPhoto). If I look at Reveal in Browser, it goes to the bowels of the iPhoto library. If I copy the project to another drive, it too, points to the iPhoto library (if I'm on the same machine; otherwise it doesn't see it). I also tried optimizing the footage in the hope that it would create an Event with optimized clips that I could then transfer.
Am I missing something? It seems nuts that you can't transfer work to another machine without manually picking through the bowels of iPhoto. These days, lots of shooting is done on iPads and iPhones. Any help would be appreciated.

My suggestion would be that in the future, they upload photos only to iphoto, and upload video clips directly to iMovie. In the early days of iOS, going through iPhoto was the only way, so it is a habit that I have had to break.
With iOS 5 and 6, iMovie now recognizes the iPhone and the iPad as cameras.
I agree that the Consolidate Media command should bring over iPHoto movies along with the photos. I suggest that you go to iMovie/Provide Feedback and let the developers know that you would like this feature.

How do I delete a event in iPhoto without it deleting from my Facebook?

Hi I am trying to get harddrive space back on my Mac Air.
I have copied all my albums to an external drive and deleting the originals from iPhoto. When I am doing this it is deleting all assosiated photo's from Facebook. How do I turn it off so I can delete photo's from iPhoto but not my FB?
Thankyou for your help
Tracey

Stop deleting them from iPhoto, as we discovered on your other thread.
Why not move the Library to an external instead?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How to Sort Pictures Into Events in iPhoto

Hi,
I have different events listed in my iPhoto based on the dates that I imported the pictures. I'm trying to sort the pictures into specific events but I keep having problems. I've tried flagging the pictures and then the adding flagged photos to selected events, or to selecting multiple events and then dragging and dropping the pictures, and cuting pictures from one event to another event and pasting them. The problem with all of these is that they keep bringing other pictures with them. So say I'm trying to take 10 photos from the Winter Photos event and put them into the Summer Photos event, I end up getting something like 18 that move with them -- and these additional 8 aren't selected, they tend to be ones in between the first and last of the 10 that I selected. When selecting multiples, I either flag them or use the command + click option. So I'm selecting pictures 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, and 10 from Winter Photos, and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 get moved. Is there any way to avoid this?
I know that I could use the Albums instead of Events, but I like the Events option much better -- it's in the library and it's easier to view them all together that way. If I can move some pictures, I should be able to move them without ones getting moved accidentally. This also happens even if I just move one picture at a time, through any of these ways.
I've also checked the discussion board and there's nothing that specifically addresses the issue of photos getting accidentally moved that I could find.
Thank you!
Lauren

Anyt chance that you have the "additional" photos flagged - before adding flagged photos to selected event click on the flagged photos in the source pane on the left - verfy what is flagged and then select an event and add to selected event - are only the correct photos added?
And personally I suggest albums since with albums you can build a tree structure using folders - events only offer a flat orginazation

Arrangement events in iPhoto

Hello!
Yesterday, I bought iPhoto for iOS. The app is great, but i have some troubles. My events stay in wrong order, not so how they stay in iPhoto for Mac. How i can arrange my events in iPhoto for iOS?
And, second question: do you know how i can arrange albums in iPhoto for iOS? Now they stay in alphabetical order.

Many people have discovered that:
Event order doesn't stay correct
The order of photos in albums gets messed up
You can't reorder photos in slide shows
Hopefully some or all of this gets fixed.

How can I view the size of a particular event in iPhoto '11?

How can I view the size of a particular event in iPhoto '11? The 'Get Info' option is not displaying the size of the event like it used to in iPhoto 8.

But the event does not really have a size - you can export the photos and make the size pretty much what you want - while it is in iPhoto it is an event
I guess that iPhoto could report the size of the original photos as imported - or the size of the modified photos if exported as JPEGs - or the size of the modified photos if exported with a maximum dimension of 1080 - but the event simply is photos and does not have a "size" until you export it
Obviously you want to know the size but the question was
what is your puprose for knowing the size?
WIth that information maybe there is a way to get you what you want
But the basic answer is simply that an event does not have a size - an event is a collection of photos and each photo has either two or three versions in the iPhoto library and each photo can be exported for outside use in several formats and at any size

How to get photos that are saved under Events in iPhoto to external drive

Hi,
I do photo slideshows on my Windows PC. I have all my photos under specific names Events in iPhoto on my Macbook Pro. How do I get a group of photos onto my Simpledrive external hard drive. I have tried to save it to desktop then drag the folder in the Simpledrive but it does not work.
I was hoping someone out there could help me please.
Thanks
Dave

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mount the external drive and then open the destination folder
Run iPhoto and select the Event then 'Select All' (command-a) and drag those items to the destination folder (just tested this on a zip drive and it worked as expected)
Make sure the external drive is correctly formatted for the Mac to write to, while it can read NTFS it must be FAT32 for writing.

HT201317 How can I move a file in photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

How can I move a file from photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

Select photo stream on the left panel in iPhoto, then drag and drop the photo from photo stream to Events on the top left under Library. If you then want to move it to a specific event in your library, click on Events, locate the photo and drag and drop it on the event you want to add it to.
