How do I rename photos within events?

I know how to give an event a title but I'm looking for an easy way to rename all the photos within the event so that they, too, have a title corresponding to the event title but each with it's own number added to the end. This helps me for when I create a New Album and drag a copy of an individual photo into the album to identify which event the original photo came from. For example:
Event Title: 2013.03.01 Drew's 11th Bday
Photo Title for each photo within the event to say: 2013.03.01 Drew's 11th Bday (1); 2013.03.01 Drew's 11th Bday (2) and so on...
As it is now, each photo just has the image number given to it by the program, so that when I drag a copy into a New Album all I see is the image number with no details to help me.
Can anyone offer suggestions?

The only way to rename the actual file is to export the photo out of the iPhoto Library via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the option  File Name ➙ Use Title.

    How do I MOVE photos within events?

    You can't.
    Events are automatic organisation based strictly on date and time. Manual sorting is not available. Put another way, Events are a very basic organisation for those who don't want to think about it.
    Use Albums instead. They are much more flexible and include Manual Sorting. You can create an Album of an event simply by dragging the Event to the Album heading in the iPhoto Window. Albums simply reference photos in the Library and so involve no duplication - they take up no extra disk space.

  • How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

    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.
    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.

    Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
    If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

  • How do you reposition photos within an event

    How do you reposition photos within an event? I've tried dragging them over to the spot I want them in, but they do not stay where I put them. Yet, when I want to reposition photos within albums I have made, they drag over without a problem.

    That is correct - events are basic and time based and photos can not be manually moved within them - albums are logical grouping and photos can be moved manually - that is exactly how it works

  • How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

    How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

    iPhoto is not very smart with multiple photos...
    I don't think you can move multiple photos and I suggest the following turnaround, using the "combine pages" option mentioned in my previous reply.
    Create a blank page that you move next to the page(s) where the photos you want to move are; 
    then move your pictures there one by one (use the new page as a temporary parking space),
    then merge this new page were you want to move the multiple pictures, using the "combine pages".
    This would save time if your journal has many pages, so you don't have to move each photo through multiple pages but just to the next/previous page.
    I just made this up but I tried it and it works!

  • I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I prefer to arrange my photos by title but when I shut down Iphoto, my photos rearrange by date.  This is not acceptable for my growing library of snanned black and white ancestral photos. How do I get photos in events to stay in place ?

    I actually am illiterate on the use of the finder to to view photos in folders.  I guess I will go to a class at the local Apple store for a lesson on the uses of finder .
    My method of viewing my photos are through events in I photo.
    1. Download  from camera or scan  in from old photos.
    2  I organize photos into events by occasion, or happenings in a certain year, or a group of photos with memorabilia of a certain person from childhood and on. etc.
    3.  Because Iphoto does not allow rearranging as I was able to do in my old PC with Corell,  I drag all of the photos to an " album" on the left side of sceen.  
    4.  I arrange photos in "order" after which I number each photo in sequence. I do this for a few of reasons.
              - if a photo is accidentally deleted I know it.  I can usually remedy this by checking my trash or
    rescanning.
              - I can sort by title without complications and this holds in "album"
    5.  The pictures will re arrange automatially to match the album in I photo.
    6.  This worked great in I-photo 09 but now in mountain lion the pictures in events go back to "
    sort by date" and will not hold "sort to Title"each time I photo is closed down.  What a nuicance it is to have to go  to view and click "title"  again and again every time Iphoto is opened.
    7. Can I go back to Photo 09? . 

  • Grouping photos within events

    I want to group my photos within Events. So for example I want to create an Events sorted by year of activity and then within that Event group the photos by "sub Event" like "Holiday to Somewhere". So when I search I can find all photos from 2015 in one Event and then look for activities during the year.
    I do not want to combine currently seperate Events by date into one as this is too large to work with.
    I have looked at creating an Album named by year but again from what I can see this then ungroups photos and they appear in the Album as individual photos.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Cheers

    Not possible.
    That's exactly what Albums are for:
    Create a folder called 2015
    Create Albums from the various happenings during 2015, drag them to the folder.
    Click on the folder: see all the images from 2015, click on the albums to see only the specific events.

    Sorry but I don't understand what you mean by that.

  • Order of photos within events

    The order of my photos within my events in photos on the apple tv 2 is not the same as when i view them in iphoto. How can I get them to sync?  I have tried changing the names of the photos, sorting them according to date, changing the date and time stamps......   Everything is updated to the latest version!

    ybott:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you want to change the order of events or put one event in another place in the chronological list you'll have to do a batch change of the Date for all the photos in that event to a date and time that will put it where you want it.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Organize photos within events

    I'm using iPhoto 09 on Snow Leopard and I love the whole 'events' feature, it's great, but when I'm actually looking through an event, let's say "Colorado 09", the pictures were imported in a different order than I wanted them.
    How do I re-organize these photos within the event, I can't click and drag them, I can't figure it out....hopefully it won't be too obvious because then I'll feel dumb

    It is not obvious at all -- because you can not - there are a few sort options you can use but basically events are time based
    You can make albums and in an album you can sort anyway you want including manually
    You will find it helpful (and time saving) to go through the iPhoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/

  • How can I rearrange photos within album in iPhoto 9.5

    I used to be able to do this in older iphoto applications. I have gone to View and checked manual and I still cannot arrange the photos within an albun manually.

    In an album you simply drag the photos where you want them - that is one reason to use albums for organization rather than events

  • How do I sort photos WITHIN folder view?

    Okay, I'll admit, to me, Adobe has always been defined as "too many features and too confusing to me," but I'll give it a shot.
    I looked through help, etc. and I have a seemingly simple question - how do I sort photos, new to old, WITHIN folder view of the browser? I don't WANT to show ALL my photos, just folder by folder, oldest to new, NOT by filename!
    This is a simple right-click context menu in Paint Shop Pro, has been for many versions. Why can't I find how/where to do this in Photoshop Elements? It's the kind of thing that makes simpletons like me keep running away from complex Adobe products.
    Help me, SOMEONE, through this seemingly simple task and... I'll be most appreciative.

    >how do I sort photos, new to old, WITHIN folder view of the browser? I don't WANT to show ALL my photos, just folder by folder, oldest to new, NOT by filename!
    Well since folders are not the primary method of using the Photo Browser in Elements, I don't think that folder view has everything that you want.
    If you want to look at a single folder in this sequence you could use the Instant Tag function to apply the tag to all photos in that folder, then use a Tag search by clicking on the box to the left of the tag that is the folder name and then choose oldest first while displaying just the photo files from that folder. This may sound long, but it takes lees time to do than it takes to type a description.

  • How to find referenced photos within the Photos app

    Problem:
    Upon instructing Photos to use iCloud Photo Library, the app informed me:
    "104 referenced files in your library will not upload to iCloud Photo Library. Select referenced files in your library and choose 'Consolidate' from the File menu to copy the original files into the library."
    I do not know which 104 images in my library are referenced, and therefore cannot use "Consolidate" to import the masters into the library.
    Can anyone tell me how to find referenced files, within the active library in the Photos app?
    I am not asking how to use the "Show Referenced File in Finder" menu command. I need to identify a file as referenced first, hence this post!

    Gotcha - came up with a workaround... since the photos were living in the Photo Library packaged itself, and not simply in another regular folder, I right clicked on the library and said show packaged content, then search for what folders the files lived in, then copied the files out of the packaged library into a folder. Then I was able to give the Photos Library access to the new folder with the files.
    With all my files now references, I enabled iCloud Photo Library and am uploading now.
    Hopefully my new local Photo Library will be smart enough to optimize local images and shrink to give me more space.
    Thanks.

  • How to quickly compare photos in events and albums?

    Hi there,
    Was wondering - I have a ton of photos from several years in my iphoto events/general photos, of which the good ones are arranged neatly into iphoto albums.
    Problem is, I want to clean up my iphotos and get rid of all the extra photos that aren't very good and didn't make it into an album. In other words, if the photo was worth keeping, it's already in an album, so I just want to delete everything from my events that's not in an album. However, is there any easy way to go through the events and find out which photos are already in an album so that I can delete them if they aren't? I understand that if I delete photos from events, it will also delete it from the album, so that makes it really annoying and tricky.
    It would take so, so long to go through every single photo and flip back and forth between events and albums to see which ones are in albums and which ones aren't. From what I can tell (unless I'm wrong), I can't even open two windows of iphoto so I can compare side by side.
    If anyone knows a solution, I would be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Tracy

    File -> New Smart Album
    Album -> Is not -> Any
    will find them for you.
    Option-command-delete will move them to the trash
    Empty the iPhoto trash.
    Empty the System trash and they are gone.
    One tip: delete in batches of about 100 or so. Deleting more at a time can cause problems.
