How to split events by the original date when photos were actually taken??

I just imported a lot of old photos (10,000 more) into iPhoto, but to my big surprise, all my 10,000 photos were sorted into one event, according to the date of importing. but what I want is automatically split them by the actually time when those photos were taken, is there an easy way of doing this? thanks for your help.

'autosplitting event' from the menu...

  • Any way to change/replace EXIF data like the original date of photo?

    I'm importing into Lightroom several thousand photos I took with my first digital camera, back in 2000-2004. It's all gone very smoothly. But here's my problem:
    In my old workflow, photos I spent time editing wound up as TIF files, and whatever program I used to edit them stripped out the EXIF information from them. As a result, for example, a photo which was actually taken on March 4, 2001 will have EXIF information showing it was taken on March 10, 2001, the date on which I edited it and made the TIF. All of the other EXIF data is stripped as well, the exposure data, lens information, ISO, whether the flash fired, etc. The TIF file basically seems to have no EXIF data other than the file size and my name.
    I can live without the other info, really, but the changing of the information about the original date/time means that the TIF file doesn't sort next to the original file in Lightroom, which I'd like it to do. There's not thousands of photos for which I have TIFs, just a few hundred at most.
    Is there any way, with a plug-in or some external program, to copy the EXIF information from the original program and insert it into the TIF file?

    I'd suggest just using ExifTool.
    The command is:
         exiftool -tagsFromFile {SRCFILE} {DESTFILE}
    So, if you have a tif sans exif named my.tif, and an original jpg with exif named my.jpg, it would be:
         exiftool -tagsFromFile my.jpg my.tif
    There may be a batch-y way to do this with exiftool, or you could make your own batch file to do this in bulk...

    PS - To sync changes from files into catalog, use 'Read Metadata from File' function on Library Metadata menu.

  • Trigger an event in the parent view, when popping a child view (Mobile)

    So from one view I'm pushing another view with some data:
    <s:Button label="Edit System" click="navigator.pushView(EditSystem, systems.selectedItem)"/>
    The problem I have is that in this other view I'm updating a view things in my sqlite database, so when I pop the 'EditSystem' view and return to the original, I want to run a function to requery the the sql so I can update a view things in the original view. But from what I can fugure Eventlisteners dont work across views? How do I trigger an event in the original view when I return from a child view via pop? 

    You should find this post useful: http://flexponential.com/2010/12/05/saving-scroll-position-between-views-in-a-mobile-flex- application/
    It demonstrates one way of saving and restoring data when pushing and popping a view.

  • 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.

  • When I open up "originals" in my iPhoto library, the dates are not there or are incorrect.  I see date created and date modified, not the original date the picture was taken.  How can I find the accurate original dates?

    I have had a lot of issues with my iPhoto program. After many trips to the Genius Bar and numerous hours with phone techs, I am now rebuilding my library, starting with a backup of it from before the corruption. When I "get info" of a picture, I notice the original date the picture was taken (most important for me), is not there or is wrong.  When I check package contents of my iPhoto library, the originals show up, but most (not all) of the dates are wrong.  Can anyone tell me how or where I might find the original dates?

    I did post to the iPhoto forum and am hoping for an answer soon. I don't want to continue rebuilding my iphoto library if I can do it using originals. My library has 45,000 pictures...a huge job!

  • I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

  • "In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

    I converted multiple emails into a pdf file.  After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date.  How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

    Hi Softball ,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.
    Thanks,

  • I have a Mac Book (2006) All my saved emails for two and a half years have the same date. How do I get the original dates back?

    From the "date and time" I tried to drag the month and year to my menu bar. It did not stay, so I did it several times, but to no avail. I closed the window and went back to my Thunderbird email only to find that the date I tried to use became the date in the "date received" column of all of my emails from back to 2011. I changed the date a few days later, and then the date changed on all of my emails. I would like to undo whatever I did to the dates so that the emails show when they were originally received. I did manage to get "the order received" which helps a little, but I cannot see the original dates.
    I have checked "Set date and time automatically" but it doesn't change the dates on my saved emails.

    I at first thought it might be a Mac thing, but I couldn't find a solution. I realized that the date only affected my email, so then I thought it must be a Mozilla problem.

  • How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

    How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

    Regarding not being able to open iPhoto.  As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
    If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Is there a way to retain the original date after editing?

    I am using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro, OS X (10.3). I have a lot of old pictures to edit, and they are in date order, which is how I want them.
    However, when I edit a picture and save it, it moves it to the bottom, with today's date instead of the original date.  I have them set to save with the original as a version set.
    Is there any way to retain the orignal dates, short of having to go in and reset the date on every picture after I save it?  I really want them to be in date order under their original dates.
    BTW, I used earlier versions that were Windows-based, and this didn't happen.  When I saved them, the version sets stayed where they were.
    This is really frustrating!

    I'd like an answer to this too.
    What's your problem exactly?
    The 'date taken' is never changed by editing a picture.

  • How to split table in the report so it shows on the next page?

    Hi,
    How to split table in the report so it shows on the next page? Im trying to fit long (many columns) table into my report page. It is too long however. I want it to wrap and show the rest on the next page. What I get now is table cut at the page end and rest is not visible.

    Yes, this might be that the amount of data will cause table to grow and exceed 1, 2, 3.. pages. In that case I would probably want to have, lets say , one half of columns on 1st page then the other on the 2nd page and then repeatedly the same sequence down across all pages. Is there a way to achieve this?

    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):
