How to update iPhoto events in iMovie 13?

When I use iMovie '13 to open my iPhoto library, I don't see the last few months of images. The most recent images are from October 2013... which is about when the new version of iMovie came out.
How can I force iMovie '13 to reload my iPhoto library and keep it current?

I found the problem! It's not iMovie... it's iPhoto. iPhoto is importing my events, but it isn't putting them in the correct chronological order. The newest events (from November and December) are listed below the October events (between October and September). Weird. But once I found them, there was no problem bringing them into iMovie. Thanks, all... guess I need to post this issue in a different forum!

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and I can't open iPhoto at all.

I can't update iPhoto, GarageBand nor iMovie, and iPhoto is the only one I can't open at all. I bought my Macbook half a year ago and when I try to update the Apps it says it's being modified and then that there was an error with Apple Store ):

There is an issue with update servers today, so you'll have to wait anyway.

How to refresh iPhoto Videos in iMovie

Hi. I've just learned to use iPhoto for images and to put videos into iMovie via importing them to iPhoto. However, if iPhoto and iMovie are open, I have to quit iMovie to see the update of files added to iPhoto Movies. How do I refresh iPhoto Videos in iMovie without quitting iMovie?

Hi Sidekick,
Do you (or anyone else) know if iMovie can prompt you to delete the video files off of the phone (as iPhoto does) before dismounting the device? Otherwise, it seems that you are then forced to manually do so by hand in the cameral roll on the device.
Additionally, I learned from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UyHksf02bs (about 1/2 way in)...
...that copying video events within iMovie (from drive to drive) can be done by clicking and dragging the event, but by holding down the command button while doing so truly moves the project without leaving the original copy in place. This is what I would really like to do in iPhoto. "Move" the videos from iPhoto to iMovie so I don't have to keep track of each copy session and then go back and delete.
I've tried holding command with no luck. Also tried cut and paste, but it won't paste into iMovie. You can certainly "move to trash", but it sure would be nice if it had a "move to iMovie" option.
Any ideas?
Many thanks!

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

How to delete iphoto movies in imovie

Hello,
I imported all of my iphoto movies into imovie and now I can not figure out how to delete them from the imovie event library. The import used 8GB of memory and I need the space. I searched the forums but I can't figure it out. All help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello All,
I found out what happened. For some unknown reason, when I imported the movie clips into imovie they were copied within the iphoto folders. Before the import they were just in the Originals folder. After the import they were located in both the Data and Originals folder in the iphoto path. I was speaking to an Apple Care rep when we found them. At first he was sure that imovie would not copy thm and asked me why I thought that my disk space had been reduced by 8GB. I knew because I watched my free space dwindle during the two hour import and noted the space available before and after the import. He said that this was very odd and imovie should not have not have copied the files and he will report it to Apple. Thanks,

Non-updating iPhoto Events

I upgraded to Leopard a few months ago, backing up my HD and doing a clean install. I'm not sure if this problem has been from the day I upgraded to iLife 08 or has occurred more recently, but now all my new iPhoto events are not showing up in iPhoto. There are some that do appear in Front Row, mostly my oldest events, and all the albums are there, as well as slideshows. The "last import" section shows my current last import, and in all photos all my current photos are there too. The only problem seems to be syncing the actual events. I've tried "rebuild the iPhoto library database", and it didn't seem to do anything in iPhoto or Front Row. Moving the library and making iPhoto find it again also didn't help, and manually reinstalling the Front Row 2.1.2 update did nothing either.
Any ideas on why this is happening, and how I can fix it? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You might try deleting the Front Row cache. You can find the folder in this path:
<Macintosh HD>/Users/<YourUsersShortName>/Library/Caches/com.apple.frontrow/
Delete the com.apple.frontrow folder, log out and then log back in to see if it's helped.

Deleting iPhoto events in iMovie

I do want to delete my iPhoto events / movies from the list in iMovie. For some reason I can only delete events / clips that were imported other than from iPhoto.
Does anyone know how to get rid of them? I checked the filestructure to possibly delete manually, but I cannot pinpoint files in either the iPhoto package (which increased tremondously after the initial import) or other places were these thumbnail files etc. are storted.
Anyone got a hint how to go about?
Note: I am aware that getting into the files manually poses a risk and I do keep backups to restore... in case. So risky hints are also welcome
Dirk

I am also puzzled by this loss of disk space when iMovie imports iPhoto for the first time. Would also like to reclaim that space back.
Here may be the solution: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9415197&#9415197
Not sure if it would work to delete the movies in the data folder in iPhoto.

Impact on merging iPhoto events on iMovie projects?

I have made several iMovie projects, primarily using photos from various related events in iPhoto. If I merge the iPhoto events where the pictures are currently located, will the iMovie projects be impacted / ruined / need to be started over?
I am working with the last iMovie and iPhoto BEFORE iLife '11 (have not upgraded to '11 out of fear of losing photos, etc.). OS s/b most up-to-date Snow Leopard version. Hardware is a MacBook Pro purchased in summer 2010.

iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - is the only solution currently to merge events between different computers

How to transfer iPhoto events from iPod Classic to Mac

I have an old iPod Classic 80GB and used to sync all my iPhoto events with it (full resolution pictures and disk use enabled).
Now my MacBook White HD crashed, and I would like to transfer all the events to a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion (v10.8.2). I could easily copy and paste the "Full Resolution" folder, which has all the pictures. However, I could not manage a way of transfering the photos metadata, i.e., I was unable to transfer the events' names along with the photos or keep them sepparated in events.
I have read this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1930, according to which the iPhoto should identify my iPod and would be able to import the pictures. But the iPhoto (v9.4.2) can't "see" the iPod (perhaps because it's a much newer iPhoto version compared to the one running in my old Tiger MacBook White). And if it could, I'm afraid it wouldn't identify the events in which every group of pictures is split.
How can I import the photos sepparated in iPhoto events from my iPod Classic to the Mac? Any ideas?

Yes, iPhoto is the best choice for you.

How to import iphoto events from remote library into local library

I know how to access my MBA's iphoto library from my imac, however I don't know how to import any event/photo into my local imac's library. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Once that opens by default with iphoto, then... went to Finder again, Pictures, right click on iphoto library (local Imac library) and select "open with" = Aperture.
There I had my MBA's library opened on iphoto and my local Imac library opened on Aperture. I simply dragged the events from iphoto to Aperture. Worked like a charm..
PS: It is obvious to say that for this to work, both Imac and MBA have to be Shared in the same network
That works, but there is a better way with Aperture. The problem. If you drag the photos from Aperture to iPhoto, you only transfer the previews and you lose quality, because you do not transfer the high quality originals.
Aperture can do more for you:
Select the event (in Aperture "Projects") you want to transfer in the library Inspector and then use "File > Export > Project as new Library". This will create a new photo library with only the elected items.
Then open your destination iPhoto library in Aperture and select the command "File > Import > Library" and select the partial library with your events. Aperture will now merge this library into your iPhoto library.
This way, you will transfer the originals and all editing, keywords, etc, and effectively merge your iPhoto libraries preserving all your work.

How to update iphoto that was downloaded with old id with new id? my older id email does no longer exist :(

I downloaded iphoto years ago on my MBP but then changed my apple id a bit after, now that I need to update iphoto it asks for my older id bit i cant remember the questions and the email was does not exist anymore. what can I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset that account's security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Some videos missing from iPhoto event in iMovie'08

I recently took some pictures and 7 videos and imported them into iPhoto. I intended to edit them in iMovie'08. I find that 3 of the videos are missing in the Event Library/iPhoto Library pane. I tried deleting them from iPhoto and importing again to no avail. Strangely, thumbnail videos were added to the iPhoto LIbrary/Data/2008/{event_name} folder inside the library data package.
*Yes, that's right, the iMovie thumbnail videos are stored in the iPhoto data file!!!!! Go figure!*
How do I fix this?

Update:
The problem lies in iPhoto: iPhoto has a problem with very large movie files and regularly fails to import them. When that happens I have to use the finder to drag he movie into iPhoto. For some reason, unknown to me, imported movies do not always get a file creation date. When that happens, iMovie'08 assigns a default: Dec 31, 1903 I think. To fix this I had to find each movie inside the iPhoto Library package and set the creation date to the modification date using Super Get Info [http://www.barebones.com/products/super> manually.
BUG! BUG! please fix.

How to get iPhoto movies into iMovie?

Yosemite was recently installed on my 2012 Macbook Pro. Previously, whenever I opened iMovie it would automatically thumbnail any new movies in my iPhoto library and I’d be able to use them immediately in iMovie. Since the Yosemite install, there’s a new version of iMovie and I can’t figure out how to get the movies in iPhoto into iMovie. So confused. Help!

within iMovie on the left side go to iPhoto Library, then movie the mouse slightly to the right where you see choices for events...faces...places....try selecting events and it should bring up what you may be looking for. From this point you can select photos or videos to move into your project. hope this helps

How to update 1 Event Handler from different SAP systems?

Hi experts.
I created an Event Handler via SAP 4.7 Purchase Order.
I now need to update this same Event Handler with a control parameter from SAP 6.0.
I was surprised to see that when I updated the Purchase Order in 6.0, EM created a new Event Handler!
Guess I'm missing something obvious...
Thanks.
Zenon.

Hello Berthold, Steffen,
Yes it's the same PO in 4.7 and 6.0. We implemented (upgraded) the ERP system to 6.0. The Event Handler was orginally created from 4.7, but now we need to update it from 6.0.
So the Event Handler (tracking id, control parms, EE etc) can only be updated from the logical system the Eh was created in (4.7), and I can only send Event Messages (Events) from 6.0. Correct?
Any thought about how to approach this situation and any future upgrades? Maybe I need to write a conversion program...
Thanks.
Zenon.

Brand New Macbook Air. How to update iPhoto without giving postal address?

I have a brand new New Macbook Air. Since the same day I bought it I keep getting software update notifications for iPhoto and iMovie, but when I try to download them Apple asks for my postal address and phone numbers. This is outrageous. Apple will not allow me to leave any address fields blank. No way are they are going to get my address to put on their database, I would rather switch off iPhoto and iMovie update notifications, but can't see a way to do this. Can anyone help?

Have you tried calling Apple Care? They're very helpful and could help you trouble-shoot this.
I agree with you-- one should not have to give one's credit card and address information, unless one wants to, to get an update.
Even on a purely practical level, there are people who do not have credit cards.
One other thought-- these are updates, right? Or, are they pitches for a new version of the software programs-- which could have to be purchased? If they are new progrms, in which case, you would have to supply credit card and address to buy them.
