How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto ?

How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto? I have about 8,000 old photos I would like to import but it splits them in to loads of events. Would just like to leave them in year folders.

First try, if importing a sample folder with two images with different days, more than a week apart, will import them as only one event on your mac and  the autosplit is behaving the same for you as for me.
May be I will have to do it folder by folder which will take for ever.
Would it be possible for you to join some of the folders before importing?
Or join your events in iPhoto after importing. Creating yearly events is fairly simple (tested in iPhoto 9.5.1)
Create a smart album for each year (File > New ) with the smart rule "Date is in the range ...."
Then select all photos in this smart album and use the command from the "events" menu "create event". This will collect all photos in a new yearly event.

  • How do I turn off auto-launch of iPhoto when the iPhone is connected

    I hate it that whenever I connect my iPhone to my MBP iPhoto automatically launches. Any help is appreciated.
    Jacob

    To do that follow these steps
    Go into Applications
    Open Image Capture
    Next to the blue apple to left hand corner, click on image capture
    Go into Preferences
    At the top of the window that opens, change option: When A Camera is connected, Open:
    Change the drop down menu to no application
    That should prevent iphoto from opening when phone is connected.

    how do I turn off faces recognition in iphoto?  I mean forever!!

    So by deleting the "Face Profile" or whatever it's called for the individual Faces keeps searching for, you think that's not a solution?
    The actual pictures identified by faces are not deleted. Only the avatar and name you list to be looked for within faces is what you're removing.
    Do you have a better solution? I'm all ears.
