Iphoto 11 creating events

While editing photos in an event, iphoto basically split the event I was working in. Never had that happen before. Also, while adding titles I would get halfway finished and the text box would suddenly close. iPhoto also shut down unexpectedly. Been slow since upgrade to 11.
Any ideas?

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. .

Iphoto, Creating events and Albums

I have attempted to create events and albums on the photo app in Ipad with no success. I have also synced the iPad to itunes and transfered pictures from an existing iphoto (macbook pro) event with no success. How can i create events and albums on the Ipad so i can seperate new pictures into specific areas for viewing.

You can't. Photos on the iPad doesn't have organising features. You can't create groupings, or copy from one event/whatever to another. You have limited features in the 'camera roll' for images you've saved onto the iPad - you can delete them or share them.
Your organising has to be done on the Mac in iPhoto or Aperture. Both create Events based on metadata from the image (date and time and so on). You can make albums and sync the albums to the iPad.
I know that isn't what you want, but it's all we've got. It bears repeating - the iPad is not a completely standalone device - it's dependent on a desktop and iTunes for its full functionality.

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!

When importing iPhoto doesn't create events

When importing picutres to iphoto it used to create events, now it all goes into pictures and no events are created automatically nor do I have I option of create event manually. Please help

Right click on any photo in Photos and select 'Show Event' and you'll be brought to the Event containing the pic.
Events and Photos re both views of the same Library - think of them as different windows to the same room.
So if a photo is in Photos, then it's in Events too.
Usual reason for this is that the Event is not where you expect it to be - because you've a different sort or a the date is incorrect.

PhotoStream is not creating Events in iPhoto

Having set my iPhone and iPad and iMac to PhotoShare/ PhotoStream I'm having issues creating Events in iPhoto. I like events.!
There are pics in PhotoStream that do not and will not appear in Events. Why.? How.? Frustrations.!!!

Okay, did all that. No help. The search did not turn up the most recent photo stream. Logged out of iCloud (pain in the a@# because I have documents stored there), turned off photo stream in iPhoto, logged back in, turned on again, and Photostream repopulated iPhoto in exactly the same way as before (i.e., no event--but photostream in the left nav column). Only thing I noticed is a little wireless icon in the photos in photostream. Here's a picture:
See the little wireless icon in the bottom left corner? Here's another picture:
There is no Nov. photostream event. WHY????? Do I actually have to plug in my device? I thought the purpose of Photostream was....

How do I stop iphoto from creating events automatically when I import photos from an external hard drive?

IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?

You don't have a problem at all.
IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
go to finder>all images
Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
I try to delete the extra copies
Then you are trashing your Library.
So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.

Why did my iPhoto stop creating events?

I need to find out why my iPhoto program no longer creates events. It has created them for years upon uploading photos but then is suddenly stopped. It stopped in August of last year (2014). The photos are in my library but I no longer have the convenience of just going to a grouping of photos from an event. Is this a glitch of some kind. I have not found a setting that deals with this.
Thanks!

There photos are in Events. Every photo is in an Event.
If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' or Photos view, then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as these are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

IPhoto 9.4.1 no longer creates events

I imported a bunch of photos that I took from my iPhone to iPhoto, and they while they show up under iImports, they no longer show up under Events. I tried to create an event by selecting the photos and choosing Create Event, but the new event still doesn't show up. Anyone else notice this problem?

They are there

On iPhone IOS6 i have events and photos which are not in my iPhoto 11 event library.

On iPhone IOS6 i have events and photos which are not in my iPhoto 11 event library.
I have noticed that on the itunes photo sync some more events and even several event per day are created but these photos are not in my iPhoto standard pictures (more events on iPhone tha.
Some of these pictures i have trashed them but they still appear in sync on iTunes.
How can I clean this?
These pictures are even not in trash bin because i empty it.
Can anyone help me.

Many continue to have the problem and today's iPhoto update does not appear to have corrected the issue. You can see the MANY complaints here

IPhoto 11 Event Date Question

I have a question about iPhoto 11 events. My camera was set to the wrong date for part of an event. I went in and did a batch change of the time and date of the affected photos. However, the date range beneath the title of the event still has the old erroneous date, and the event gets sorted by this date range. Is there a way to go in and change that date range under the title of the event? I go to the event and click on info, and the event shows the correct date range for the pics, but it is not changing the date range under the title. Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you - I had the same problem and found your helpful answer. However, this is actually a work around to a bug in iPhoto - it's not how the Apple Support pages say it works and common sense says that if you change all the dates in an event it should sort to the right place without being re-created. Can you help me with one more thing - how do I bring this to Apple's attention so that they fix it in a future release?
Thanks again for the help.

How does iphoto order events?

How does iphoto arrange events for display purposes? It isn't alphabetically by title, it isn't chronologically by event creation date. I am baffled. If I know how they are ordered, I can move photos among events easier by renaming the events so they show up next to each other, then I can drag and drop photos in adjacent events without scrolling. Once I am finished, I can simply rename the events back to the original names. That would be the easiest way I have found to move photos around among events. I just can't figure out the riddle of how the events are ordered.

By default events are sorted by the date of the oldest photo in the event
Probably the easiest way to move photos is to flag the photos you want together and create an event from flagged photos
But generally it is best to just leave events in date/time order and use albums for detailed organization - and/or keywords and smart albums

Imported pictures list in events as card name and not creating events by date

Trying to import my photos off a canon card into iPhoto. I clicked the card named 100Canon in my finder after selecting import in iPhoto. Instead of creating an event for each date, as there are about 10 days of photos on this card, iPhoto created one event called 100CANON and dropped every photo into that event. When I go into the file on iPhoto and select a picture, it shows the date the photo was taken.
Why did it not create an event for each day? I dumped my iPhone photos in and it separated each day as an event.
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

What have you selected in the iPhoto preferences for items imported from the Finder?
What version of iPhoto do you have?

Birds eye view of photos - like iPhoto's 'Events' view

I switched from iPhoto to Lightroom. I love Lightroom. That said, I really miss iPhoto's 'Events' view. I'd love to see a feature in Lightroom that matched it's ability to quickly survey all of your photos.
'Events' view shows one image for each event (e.g. day or shoot; you can choose which image this is). When you mouse over an event photo it acts like a little flipbook - moving your cursor from left to right flips through all the images in the event in order. When you grab the scroll bar the date will show while your scrolling to make it easy to know when to stop.
I'm not suggesting that Lightroom copy this exactly (though that wouldn't be bad) but that there be some sort of way of looking at my whole collection of photographs at once without having to see every photo.
The closest thing in Lightroom is accomplished by treating stacks like iPhoto events. Doing this I can open the Photos folder to show my entire library and choose to collapse all stacks. Mind you, that's only a workaround. I'd love to see a new way of viewing the Library.

Google for MVC, to get you started on different ways of structuring your UI application.Good advice, better stated than in my feeble attempts in these cross-posts:

I disagree completely! Had I read those threads I wouldn't have bothered replying to this one. I think you explained it very clearly.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

Auto Create EVENTS with existing library (already imported)

Had an "issue" a while back where I lost all my photos. It has since been corrected via Data Rescue but... I must have imported the found photos in a manner that did not allow for iPhoto 08 to auto-create events. So I have one big event with 15,000 plus photos in it.
Is there any option to have iPhoto create new events automatically from these photos based on picture date? New imports are fine.
Most of the pictures have the correct exif data....
Thanks

Except you will have 15000 duplicates
1 - quit iPhoto,
2 - delete your iPhoto preferences,
3 - drag the iPhoto library to the desktop (this will be a backup),
4 - start iPhoto,
5 - reset the preferences including the split items imported from the finder,
6 - and drag the originals folder from the iPhoto library on the desktop onto the running iPhoto program - this will import all of your originals (and hopefully split them into events) into a new library - after you check it you can delete the one on your desktop (or archive it as a backup )

Problem Importing into iPhoto 11 Events after Photostream

Before Photostream, importing my photos into iPhoto worked fine for me. By USB cable from my iPhone or camera, I imported and elected to import all of them. They showed up under "Last Import", but I also had the option (I forget now the procedures I followed) to sort this Last Import into one or more existing or new Events that I could name.
I don't know if Photostream has caused the problem, but now after I follow the prior procedure and have a "Last Import" (which does show thumbnails of all the photos), I can't find out to create the actual Events into which I want to place these photos. If I go to Photosteam, this does not help. If I go to the automatically created, say, "Dec 2011 Photosteam" event folder, I can (painstakingly) create one or more events into which to sort the pictures in that folder--but at this point I lose many of the photos from that folder. However, they are still in the main Photostream folder and in "Last Import".
If I go to "Events" in the source column at the left, I do not see the new pictures (they are only in Last Import, in Photostream, and, sometimes, in the most recent monthly folder automatically created for Photostream). If I go to the Events dropdown menu, the selections (such as Create Event) are grayed out--irrespective of whether I have Selected All or selected any of the photos in the Last Import or Photosteam folder. Thus, I can't get hold of the new pictures to put them into the events that I want.
How do I break apart the individual photos like I used to be able to do, so that I end up with photos divided into existing or newly created events?
Has anyone run into this problem? Is anyone doing the same tasks without having any problem of this nature? Anyone have a solution?

Okay, I think I've answered my own question, based on my looking further at other questions and answers in this forum. I needed to control-click on one of the photos in my Photos or Last Import folders and select "Show Event" from the contextual menu at the bottom of the pop-up window. This directed me way up in my library to near the beginning--instead of at the end (latest date) where I expected to find the event. I then need to go to the View menu, then down to Sort Events, and then click to Sort By Date (I don't know how this had become un-selected.)
Once I was able to find the photos, I was able to follow my old procedures to continue creating events and sorting photos--all without needing to go into Photostream (since I had uploaded into iPhoto the photos I wanted to sort by USB cable from my camera and my iPhone).
