I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. My events are not sorted in date order even though I have chose it to under the view tab????

I cannot get my photos in date order in iPhoto 11 What can I do to remedie this?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

Events are not grouped by date

Recently I had a crash on my iPhoto and had to basically re-input all 60,000 photos. All went well and iPhoto working okay now. Only issue is the events are not grouped by date anymore. meaning I have several events that are on the same date. All the setting appear to be correct.
Is there a way to have iPhoto regroup the events all by date?

The only way to sort events is the view menu --> sort events - Using it you can re-sort events a few ways
Events are not categorized so there is no way to "re-categorize" them
What you need to do is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before the crash that caused you to import your masters folder into iPhoto
And probably if you had rebuild the library after the crash you would have been OK - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database -- this will not help on the new library that you created - it has to be done on the bad library that resulted from the crash

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.

Just upgraded to iphoto 9 and photos are gone

Hello i just upgraded to iphoto 11 and most of my photos from my airport disk are gone. Only the ones i imported this year are recovered. HELP!
I have photos of my clients that are very very important.

With respect
Not having an up-to-date back up is like driving without a seatbelt. You may well be fine but if something goes wrong you'll be worse off than if you were wearing one.
Upgrading anything without a back up is the same, except now you're driving blindfolded and drunk, so something is much more likely to go wrong. And if it does you'll be much much worse off than if you had one.
Next: Is that a network connection to that Disk? If so, then it's not a appropriate location for an iPhoto Library.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
So, before we can start to figure out a solution you'll need to confirm that the library is on a correctly formatted disk and with a wired connection to the Mac.
Then tell us the size of the Library in the Finder.

Just upgraded to iPhoto 11. slideshow does not work. just is black.

I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. I am on a MacPro desktop.
Slideshow does not work for either the existing slideshows or to create new one.
Just a black screen. When you click on the slideshow button it fades for a microsecond like it is going to go to slideshow...but then just a black box where teh photo should be.

Can you view the photos normally at full size?

I can't get more than 2 calendar events to post in the notification center even though I have 10 items checked in the settings area. Any advice?

I can't get more than 2 calendar events to post in the drop down notification center, even though I have 10 checked in the settings area. Any advice?

Same here. I've been searching for a solution but have found nothing.

IPhoto Titles of Events are not readable

Hi,
i´ve an issue with the interaction of background colour and text colour. In the event view background is dark grey and text is black. Therefore you can hardly read the text under events. When i change background colour only in picture view can changes be noticed. Generally the headlines in black are not readable if you prefer dark grey as background. Any suggestions? Thank´s in advance.
Dirk

hoernerD:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's strange because my Event view background is black and the text is white. When viewing an open event the background can be adjusted in iPhoto Preferences just the same as the Photos view.
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, from your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that will help.
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.

Just upgraded to MAC OSX Snow Leopard still not up to date, what now?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and still having problems with Java and Flash saying system is not up to date to run programs,

You can check if you have the latest version of flash from the system preferences tab.
Running software update should update you to the latest version of java.
You have run software update haven't you?
If not you will have lots of stuff which is not up to date.
You will need to run it several times too, as some things cannot be updated until other stuff is.
Once you've got no more updates (and of course restarts) to do, make sure to run disk utility and repair permissions.

Events has incorrect date range even though photos have been correctly adjusted

I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.1.2) and have imported a bunch of old photos that had incorrect exif data, presumably from the camera having the wrong date set at the time. For example I have an event called "Christmas 08" which contained photos dated from 4-6 Dec 2028; which I've since deduced were actually taken 4-6 Jan 2008. Knowing that iPhoto can correct this sort of error I used the Photos > Adjust date and time menu option to take over 7200 days off the images and overwrite the originals into the bargain. Initially the results looked good - all the photos from the 26 affected events now show the correct date information in the info panel and when one of the events is selected the date range shown in the info panel reflects the new date range of the photos within it.
Weirdly though, the dates shown underneath the event are still the 2028 dates and the event is still ordered chronologically after my recent 2011 photos - consequently these events are considered "within the last 12 months" by iTunes even though the photos are all correctly identified as around 2.5 years old. Presumably this will mean that these events are set float at the top of my events list and plague me for the next 17 years unless this gets fixed.
What should I be doing to make iPhoto do the right thing?
Thanks,
Rob

This has been reported several times in iPhoto '11 version 9.1.2 - it appears to be a bug - the only reported workaround that has been posted is to correct the dates on the photos and create a new event with them - try flagging all of the photos in the bad event after the dates are correct and then create a new event from the flagged photos
You can search the forums to see the other discussions
I would expect a correction in a future upgrade
do report to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

After upgrading to 5.0.2, notifications are not shown on lock screen - even missed calls

I need to enter the pin everytime just to check for messages, mails, missed calls etc. Any fix for this?

I have exactly the same problem - but only after connecting my phone via exchange active sync to our companies server.
all lollipop useres except for the sony users don't have this problem.
settings (of all, only non sensitive, no notifications shown) don't make any difference.
My boss contacted someone at support and got some feedback that needed him to reset phone to initial, and "repair" it via companion. Did work for him (Z3), doesn't work for anyone else...
looking for a solution desperately since i have several people to service... and no idea how to solve this...

I downloaded the ios8 and now my photos in events and faces are no longer in alphabetical order on my iPhone. How can I change the view? (My iPhoto is in the correct order.)

viewing photos on iPhone 5 with ios8 - change back to alphabetical order

Seems like a bug that I hope Apple can fix soon. Does anyone from Apple scan these boards?
Occasionally.
But it is much safer to send feedback using the feedback form, if you want the developer team to see your feedback.

HT4061 I upgraded and no longer have an iphone. Now my fiance nor anyone with an iphone can text me because it still wants to use iMessage even though I have removed my number from the icloud, apple, and itunes. I have no idea what more to do.

We have already deleted my name and number from his iPhone, and tried re-adding it. It still lists my number as an iMessage. It is not feasible to ask everyone in my contact list with an iphone to turn that off so that they can text me. Please help. I've already done everything that I could find online, deleting my number out of everything and nothing has helped thus far. Thanks in advance.

HT201272 We just subscribed to iMatch but when we are not within wifi range, we get a message that downloading OUR songs from the cloud might incur charges. Is this because of data usage or is there some other fee we were unaware of?

If there is some additional charge associated with downloading our own music then this is all a waste of money.

Mandig,
There is not an additional charge from iTunes. They are referring to potential charges from your cellular provider, which depending on your cellular plan, could be considerable. If you are not sure about your cellular plan, stick to WiFi.

I just upgraded to iPhoto '11. When it was finished many pictures do not appear. I have a black box but the information for the picture is still there. Some are raw and some are jpeg. Also lost all albums. Can anyone offer assistance?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
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 and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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.

Just upgraded to iPhoto '11...missing Smart Albums and Flags...Help???

I just upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '11 via the App Store. While it appears that all of my photos are still on my computer, when I try to open my Smart Albums, it says that they contain "no photos." Also, it appears that none of my photos marked with flags are still flagged. Can anyone help?

How did you upgrade the library? Did you just open it with iPhoto 11 and let it convert the library to the new version? If so then try the following:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
