How to organize events that repeat every year with iphoto

Dear Communitie,
y
How can i organize events that repeat every year with iphoto. For example, if i make picrues every year or 1 time a month, of my doughter, for example:
Playing with our dog in the garden january 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden march 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden October 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden december 2012
Playing with our dog in the garden march 2013
I don't know, what is the intelligent type of eventname.
If i made "Playing with our dog in the garden", than i cant see the difference of growing (3 Month old chilren is completle different of a 5 Month old children)
If i made "Playing with our dog in the garden Month Year" then the events are hundrets in 5 Year.
I think, i don't understand, how to organize the contents with events. Is thera a whitepaer, a guide or somethink like that to take the DB organized how Apple iPhoto is meaning?
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

The Trick is to create an Album
Playing with Dog in Garden
Drag the images you want from the Events to the Album. Sort the Album on Date. Now you have a chronological view of your daughter playing in the garden with the Dog.
Albums are similar to playlists in iTunes. The contain pointers to files in the Library, so they use no disk space. An shot therefore can be in as many albums as you want.
Some of the organisational possibilities of iPhoto"
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

    I want to set up an event that repeats every 3 days that is timezone independant. Is it possible?

    It is possible to have multiple libraries in a single account and use each one for a different iPod without affecting the other. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library but if you are only going to update your Dad's iPod periodically this shouldn't be an issue:

  • Sync events that repeats every TWO years on the Google Calendar

    syncing every event that occurs every two year on the google calendar it is repeated yearly on the iphone calendar app.
    but the odds doesn't stop here: if you look into the event detail (on the iphone) it reports "custom : every two year"!
    any idea for resolve this?
    thanks to all

    here`s some more complete information from my client
    - User, in Lotus Notes, uses the agenda and select "Create" "Appointment" instead of "plan a meeting"
    in the appointment, she repeats every 2 weeks.
    after replication, it does show on the blackberry
    When the User add comments in 1 appointment and save the changes, after replication, all the repeatable appointment disapear from the blackberry in the calendar.
    I have tried it on my blackberry ( Curve) and did not have that problem.
    anyone?

  • How can I create a cron schedule that repeats every 2 weeks on Mondays?

    I need to create a cron schedule that repeats every 2 weeks on Mondays. Cronmaker.com doesn't have the cron expression for this. Please advice.
    Using calendarSchedule I can do this,
    var trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
    .StartAt(new DateTime(2012, 11, 19, 12, 0, 0).ToUniversalTime())
    .WithCalendarIntervalSchedule(x => x.WithIntervalInWeeks(2))
    .Build();
    But where do  I specify it should be the 2nd monday?

  • Can I make a birthday reminder repeat every year? (Using the Birthday Reminder List)

    I see that when I enter contact birthdays they show up on my calendar...great.  But what about the children of my contacts?  I thought I would enter their birthdates using the Birthday Reminder List, but when I enter their birthday, it insists on entering the due date....will this reminder keep repeating each year?  If not, there's no sense in entering the birthdate.  I know I can set up an annually repeating event for the birthday but it just seems like I should be able to use the Birthday Reminder List for this.   Thanks

    Here's what I've done which may work for others.  I've scrapped the idea of using the birthday reminders function.  Instead, I created a new calendar (click the settings icon in the upper right of the icloud website) called "Birthdays-Non Contact".  Then I entered the missing bdays as all day events (repeating every year) on this calendar.  So now all my birthdays show on my main calendar....some come from the birthday field in the contacts database and the rest come from my newly created "Birthdays-Non Contact" calendar events. 
    Interestingly, if I choose to show only my "Birthdays-Non Contact" calendar, all my contact birthdays appear on it as well, so it gives a complete list of all my birthdays and nothing else....cool.
    I should say, everything I'm talking about is what I see on the ICloud site.  My husband has the phone at the moment which I presume will show the same picture.

  • I added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.

    I've added a calendar event to repeat every two weeks, but it repeats every day.  The original event was set up for all Day on Wednesday, Nov 5.  Setting up for a single  day worked fine.  Add the repeat option and select every two weeks...and it shows up every day until the end date.  I've re-booted the phone and tried other start dates.  Same result.  This is in the base iPhone calendar.  No other calendars have been installed.   iPhone 6  iOS 8.0.2.  Any suggestions?

    Found a workaround:
    Just change each attribute 1 item at a time.
    Create the calendar entry for one day only with no other settings.
    Go back in and edit it so that its every two weeks, then leave and confirm this worked.
    Open calendar back up and add in the end date.
    That's the only way I could get it to accept those settings, one attribute at a time.
    Misc. bug I suppose.  I miss the "It just works" days.  Living in silicon valley, the QA engineering buds I have at apple go on rants about the undisclosed/undiscovered but known bugs in ios every time we're having drinks.  From what I hear, internally IOS8/8.1 weren't ready for prime time push just yet.

  • I need an event to repeat every 12 workdays (M-F only)

    I need an event to repeat every 12 workdays (M-F only). Is that possible?

    For your repeating even, I'm assuming this is your Yahoo calendar? that isn't a Firefox issue, I suggest you try to contact yahoo.
    For the other issue, try the following:
    Update to Firefox 15. Then, [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • WD ABAP: Recursion Nodes that Repeat Tree Nodes with Embedded Tables ???

    At Rich H's suggestion, I'm posting this here as well as in the blogs.
    Suppose you've got a tree context with a node that has a table embedded under it. (For example, the TREE_WITH_TABLE view of WDR_TEST_EVNT has this kind of context substructure.) Call this node "NODE_WITH_TABLE."
    You now define a recursion node underneath "NODE_WITH_TABLE" and specify "NODE_WITH_TABLE" as the repeated node for this recursion node. Call this recurion node "RECURSION_NODE".
    Lo and behold - the table fills properly when you're on any instance of "NODE_WITH_TABLE", but not when you're on an instance of "RECURSION_NODE".
    I'm hoping that:
    a) I'm doing something wrong;
    OR
    b) There's an easy work-around/alternative I'm not seeing
    OR
    c) SAP will give recursion nodes enough memory to carry any table(s) embedded in the nodes they're repeating.
    'Cause I sure don't want to have to define "n" levels of tree-nodes that have different copies of the same table(s) embedded in them.

    Maybe you might want to back out your weblog as it is not really a place to ask these types of questions.  Think of it this way,  if you are allowed to do this type of weblog,  what is stopping any other weblogger.  Hence the weblogs would just be another forum, which I don't think anyone wants.

  • How can I set a calendar event to repeat every 2nd and 4th Wednesday?

    I know it's possible to create a custom repeat for every 2 weeks, but that is not what I need, as that will change to the 1st and 3rd Wednesday at times.

    Fyomax,
    Create two individual "Custom..." events...
    One which repeats every "second" Wednesday...
    ...and one which repeats every "fourth" Wednesday.

    I was trying to put it every week and instead made it every day, now my calender is filled with a meeting everyday.

  • How do I copy events on iCal, for events that repeat on various days (not per the repeat options provided when creating the event)?

    My schedule varies, and I need the capability to copy an event over mutltiple, random days without retyping the information each time. The repeat function does not work for me, as it is not customizable to events that occur on different weekdays. Does aanyone know a good fix for this? It seems like a pretty basic function, but I can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be GREATLY appreeciated!

  • Advice Needed - Events that span multiple years?

    Just wanted some advice from others if this makes sense. I was originally thinking a setting up Events for only one year but does it make more sense to say have a Event called Birtday Parties and have all my kids birthday parties pics for all the years in that one event and then have smart albumns to show current year/4-5 star rated pics and maybe one smart albumn that does the same but across all years. How do others arrange their events.

    Craig7535:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What you might want to look into is using a Smart Album to group all the photos of a specific annual event. The criteria would be Date = xx/xx/07 AND date = xx/xx/06, etc. That would group all the photos on that month and date for each year added. Now if some of the photos have a different date you can change it within iPhoto so they would be picked up by that smart album.
    You could create an Event for that but would have to manually find and drag the appropriate files into that even.
    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.
