How to label moments / events in Photos

So - in iPhoto, events could be split, named, and have meaningful titles added to them. How do you achieve this in the new photos app?
Thanks!

The new Photos application hasn't been released. If you are beta testing 10.10.3, the Developers forum would be a better place to post.

  • How do I rename events in Photos?

    Once I upload photos to my device on the iPad 2 with the camera connection kit, it gives me events with names like 2012-01-06 . I would like to know a simple way to change the name of the event from the iPad, because I don't have a computer I could sync it to.
    Thanks!

    You can't rename them on the iPad, you can only chose the names of events for photos prior to syncing them from a computer.

  • How to burn an "event's" photo contents to a dvd

    Have an event with lots of photos.
    I'd like to burn the photo contents of that event to a dvd.
    Best way?
    Thx,
    Steve

    Select the photos and use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select JPEG as the format, Quality as Maximum or High, Size as full size and check the two boxes to include the keywords and places. Export them to a folder on the Desktop and burn the folder onto a DVD or CD disk. This will just put the current version of the photos on the disk.
    Click to view full size
    If you use the Share ➙ Burn menu option you'll burn a mini library to the disk that can be used by iPhoto at a later date to view and copy the photos back into a library.

  • How do I remove selected events in photo?

    How do I remove events in photo that were transfered from my Iphoto on Imac.

    Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced -  and then re-syncing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Uncheck/deselect all of the events that you want to remove
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • Merge events in photo

    How do you merge events in photo (iPhoto) on the iPad? The (for me) normal Wayne in iPhoto of dragthing one event over THE other did not wrok

    I was asking because I was importing photos from my Canon 40D camera. Some photos imported are marker as such by a green checkmark, but others, are imported but are not checked. So when I connect the camera again, the iPad photo app imports them again. When I connect annoteer Canon camera (the S5is), everything import normal.
    I use the iPad on vacation only as a backup for the cameras. Later I will import the photos on my iMac.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Wilco

  • How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events?  I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

    I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images.  In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides.  How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto?  Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
    Thanks!

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • Iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos.  I have over 7000 photos.  When I deleted some, I found that the event still shows up with a blank frame.  Can I move some photos to an external hard drive but leave the pointer in iphoto?

    iphoto: How to safely delete or move photos.  I have over 7000 photos.  I would really like to move tsome of the older photos to an external hard drive. (They are backed up in Time Machine, but I like the immediacy of having them available.)  So question 1 -  is it possible to split the iphoto library so that the directory tree points to an external drive in some cases?  And if that doesn't work--I am willing to export and delete some of these photos.  However, an earlier delete left me with events that have a name in the event folder, but no photos.  Question 2 -- How do I properly delete photos so that all references disappear?
    example:

    Warning: Time Machine is not an Archiving application. It keeps rolling back ups. That means if you delete something from the source Mac it will eventually be also deleted from Time Machine. How long that takes depends on the amount of disk space TM has. So, remember, backing up in Time Machine is not the same as Archiving.
    For the blank thumbnails: This can happen if you try delete too many photos at one go. Experienced users suggest you should delete in batches of 100 or so.
    Yes you can split the Library, where some of the Masters are stored locally and some on an external disk, but really, you don't want to do that. iPhoto's file management tools are limited at best, and if the path to the files changes then you could find yourself repairing the links to the files - all of them, one by one.
    Better: Have your entire Library on an External Drive.
    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.
    If you want to have a smaller library on your internal disk:
    Here's one way to do what you want:
    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.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • How can you tell if all photos in an event have a Place assigned?

    How can you tell if all photos in an event have a Place assigned, without clicking every photo in the event individually with the Info bar open to see if there is a little map in the bottom left hand corner please?
    cheers

    Thanks for that, just getting used to these brilliant smart albums, do I have to have one of these smart albums for every event though? can I not just use it for all photos?
    cheers

  • How can I find what Event a photo is in when that photo is found via Faces?

    I've stumbled upon a photo via the Faces category. I do not know what Event this photo exists in, but I'd like to know (this same issue can occur with a photo found via Places of course too). How do I find out what Event this photo exists in? Of course I can pull the date or title data from the photo and then search for that data and visually find the photo from the search results, but I would assume there would be a much much easier method.
    None of the information data seems to contain any event data. I would think each photo would contain information as to what Event it currently resides in.

    Wait until iPhoto is done scanning for new images in the ".. might also be in the photos below" section, then right click (or Option-Click if your mouse has no right button) on the image, and in the last group of the menu that pops up should be an item "Show Event". While it's still scanning for more faces, the "Show Event" menu item isn't shown yet.

  • How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event?

    How do I merge new imported photos into an existing event while using the latest version of iPhoto?

    You can merge two Events simply by dragging one to the other.
    You can move photos between Events by drag and drop or by first flagging them, then switching to Events View and selecting the target Event and going Events Menu -> Add Flagged Photos to selected Event.

  • How to group or print index of Event Key Photos?

    I am making some backup dvds of my library for off site storage. I would like to make an index print of the event key photos but can not figure out how to group them. Can you make a smart album (clearly iphoto has them tagged in some way)? Is there just an option for printing them that I can't find? There must be a more elegant solution than opening each event and copying the key photo to an album...

    No and No I'm afraid.

    Either that or tag them with a keyword, flag them or rate them and use that as the basis of a smart album.

  • Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos.  How do I fix it?

    Why do I get the spinning beach ball when I try to change from Events to Photos.  How do I fix it?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
