IPhoto '11: Eventnames in originals

All of our photo's are in iPhoto but I like to make a back-up just to be shure.
When opening the library from the finder I always used to see the names of the events in the originals file. We switched to iPhoto '11 a couple of months ago and the names of the old events are still there. But all the newer adiontions don't have event names but coding (date of adding as it seems). Looking in iPhoto they are perfectly sorted by event.
Is it possible to make iPhoto store these files by name again?

No.
Also note, that if you move files between events they don't move on the HD. So, the folder set up in the Finder does not have any necessary correlation with the organisation in the iPhoto Window.
Directly accessing the Library via the Finder is not supported - nor has it ever been on any version of iPhoto. Simply, how the back end of the Library works is of no consequence. It's what's going on in the iPhoto Window that matters.
You can access your Photos through any of the (many) supported ways.

I need to create a new iPhoto library and import 'ORIGINALS' from a time machine backup on an external hard drive.

I made the mistake of installing OS 10.9 on my older MacBook Air and the machine has become horribly slow and unpredictable. I visited the Apple store and questioned a 'Genius' about getting rid of 10.9 and reinstalling the previous OS 10.6 for which I have the disks. He advised that I should reformat the Air, reinstall 10.6 and then restore from the Time Machine backup that I have.
He explained that of course, after I reinsatll 10.6, I couldn't import the iPhoto Library from the backup drive complete because it had been recreated using the OS 10.9 and wouldn't work with 10.6. I would have to create a new 10.6 iPhoto Library and move the actual ORIGINALS, from the backup into it. He actually had the path to the iPhoto library shown on my Air to the point of >Pictures >iPhoto Library > ORIGINALS.
I didn't question how he got the path to the point of > ORIGINALS and figured that it wouldn't take too much to do what he suggested. Now I can't find how to get to point of seeing the ORIGINALS in the path. When I go through the path >Pictures >iPhoto Library, the next column shows me the iPhoto Library icon and the info re size, creation date etc.
Can anyone advise how to get to the 'ORIGINALS' in order to import them and does anyone have any further suggestions that might help in completing this procedure ?
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance available.
p.s. is there any way of looking at a Time Machine backup and finding what O.S. was present when the backup was produced ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

How to delete unwanted iphotos? (not edited originals)

How can I delete unwanted photos in iphoto? I don't care about deleting originals that I have been edited, I want to remove trash shots from my computer while working in iPhoto. So is there a way to delete photos from DB, w/o going into the finder. I can take 50 shots in 2 mintues. Until I upload in iPhoto, mess with them, I can't tell good from bad. I don't want to store all forever. Help?

Always remember the golden rule. Don' make any changes to the iPhoto Library Folder - the database - in the finder. Do everything working in iPhoto.
It's hard to tell what's good and what's not until you get them into iPhoto or check in Preview.
Dealing with them in iPhoto is the easiest way to do it . Look at them right after you import. You can select multiple shots by holding down the COMMAND key while clicking on the ones you want to trash. You can also use the shift key to get rid of a bunch all in a row. Click the first to select, then click the last holding down SHIFT - that will select all in a row.
Then go to the Photo drop down menu and delete or trash the photos selected.
LN -- you posted your excellent advice while I was typing.

IPhoto duplicated photos showing Originals and Modified folders?

Upon importing photos to iPhoto, many folders were duplicated. One folder has "Originals" and the other folder has the numbers you see in the iPhoto folder system such as "18" and "21." I understand that when you import photos, it places a copy in the originals folder. I"m assuming this is used when you use the "Revert to Originals" function. Why is iPhoto showing both copies? How can I turn this off? I'm assuming I don't want to delete one of these. This is not simply duplicates were downloaded.
thanks!

PostPunk:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds like you imported a library into a new library when you upgraded to iPhoto 8 rather than let iPhoto 8 convert the older library to the new version. That method will import both the modified version along with the original as originals. If this is not what happened please describe how you went about importing the photos, where they came from, etc.
Happy Holidays
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 created 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 and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Determining folder sizes inside iPhoto Library Package, eg Originals/2009

In iPhoto '09 is it possible to determine (in an automated fashion) the size of the folders inside the Originals folder inside the iPhoto Library Package.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro with limited space so I wanted to identify the folders that are taking up the most space and try to remove them.
Specifically, I'm looking at the following location:
Originals/2008/...
Originals/2009/...
Those seem to be the largest folders, so removing some of the largest ones will really help for a trip I have coming up.
Thanks for the insights.

Thanks for the info on DiskInventoryX. Unfortunately it cannot look inside of the iPhoto Library Package, so I guess I need to keep looking into the true format of a package... Is a package similar to a tgz file?
It is unfortunate that the Mac doesn't automatically list the size of the contents of folders in the finder. Having that information listed in the finder would be very beneficial...
Since it sounds like iPhoto is so sensitive about folder structure modifications and does not have the ability to adapt to changes, I may need to look into another program that is a bit more forgiving for working with large numbers of photographs that are only temporarily on the MacBook Pro before being moved over to the Desktop. My workflow requires that most photos and videos are temporarily stored and worked on the MacBook Pro and then (a few weeks over) moved off and over to a desktop for permanent storage and further editing.
Thanks again for all the thoughts and insights, as it is much appreciated...

IPhoto 08 library problem: originals 'lost'? invalid alias?

Having read a lot of posts, I finally write this as I have not found any help.
I recently moved my iPhoto library from one iMac to another. On the old iMac, I had the iPhoto library on an external drive, now the library is right on the new iMac. iPhoto still displays thumbnails for all my pictures correctly sorted in Albums, but when I try to access any of them, I get "The volume for “photo1234” cannot be found."
Carefully looking inside the library package, I see that "Originals" only contain aliases pointing to the original files in a separate photo folder (that I still have). However, the alias path is wrong, i.e. it's pointing to the external drive that I no longer have.
"Modified" folder has full-size files. iPhoto thumbnails accurately leads to most of them, but even some of the full-size "Modified" files can't be found (it just say's "can't be found", i.e not the "volume can't be found")
Maybe I missed checking "copy items to the iPhoto library" sometime in the past?!?
* Is "Originals" folder only supposed to include aliases?
* Is there a utility that will allow be to do a batch conversion of the alias path?
* Any idea how not to loose modifications made to pictures?
I have tried both built-in rebuild and Library Manager rebuild, but neither helped. My guess is because library basically don't know where the original files are. I could re-import everything, but I am working hard to save my albums (I have a lot set up).
* Any brilliant ideas for how to get all my pictures back 'into' the library and matched up with the albums set up and metadata already in there??????
Any help MUCH appreciated!

Welcome to the space between the rock and the hard place.
Maybe I missed checking "copy items to the iPhoto library" sometime in the past?!?
More likely, you unchecked it as it's on by default.
You have a referenced library: in a referenced library the Originals only contain aliases.
Now you want to turn it to a managed library? This is made rather more complex because you have moved the files and now iPhoto cannot resolve the aliases, which is why the trick of using iPhoto Library Manager won't work.
At heart, what you need to do is copy the originals into the Originals folder, overwriting the aliases there - making sure that each pic goes with the correct alias.
I'm sorry but, short of copy and paste, I know of now way of doing that. You might be able to whip up an apple script, but again, because the link to the aliases is broken, that might not work.
You can try re-establish the aliases - that is go into the Originals Folder and click on an alias. It will tell you that it can't find the original file, and ask if you would like to find it, then find it... if you're lucky, finding one alias in each folder will be enough to get the rest working, if you're unlucky then you'll need to re-attach the files individually.
Or try and put the pics back where they were.
If you can re-establish the aliases, have a read of this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1172120&tstart=0

Moved iPhoto Library - Some file originals can't be found.

I have G5 iMac running Leopard and iLife 06. I moved the contents of my Pictures folder to a partition of an external hard drive (formatted as Extended (Journalled)), as the iMac's HD is getting cramped. When I first ran iPhoto, I got a message saying library couldn't be found (expected) and located the new location of the library on the external drive. iPhoto opens, but starts telling me that it can't find originals of certain files (which happen to be movies from my digital still camera in the same folders as photos. It tries to find many, many of these files - and I am unable to locate any of them using the dialog box in iPhoto. But I can find them via the finder quite easily. What's up with this?

This is the main reason I never recommend using iPhoto in referenced mode.
iPhoto tracks the location of the files by their path, and by moving the Pictures Folder you've changed the path. That's why iPhoto cannot find the files, and worse, because they are movie files iPhoto 6 will not be operational until it tracks them down.
Some things to try:
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 creates a new library and leaves your old one untouched it won't make anything worse.
If you consider converting your library to a managed one, check out AliasHerder, which is mentioned in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356720&tstart=0
Some comments on running a referenced library:
1. Importing and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
If you're concerned about accessing the files, there are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Your choice, obviously, but best to be aware of all the ramifications. By all means post back if you require more info.

Import into iPhoto 9 originals and modified

Terrance,
When I manage to get my large library moved will the resulting library in iPhoto 9 have both originals and the ones that I have modified along with individually dated pictures. These are not the dates that I imported them but the dates I have given them to correspond to the approximate dates that they were taken?
I think I asked this before but have lost the thread.
Thanks again for your help.
Barbara Westmoreland

connect the two systems together (network, FireWire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system - launch iPhoto and it will convert the library as needed - be very careful not to accidentally open the old library open the old system with the new iPhoto - the conversion can not be undone
+_*Your moved and converted library will be identical in every respect to the original library*_+

TS2551 I recently added pictures to iphoto. There are a lot of pictures that are just black voids. I can find the originals, but why is this happening and how can I fix it?

I am very new to owning my macbook. I am lost as to how to fix this. Is this related to the updates that I recently installed?

Check the iPhoto Preferences:
Advanced -> Importing,
and make sure, that "copy items to the iPhoto Library" is enabled.
Otherwise your imported images will not be stored inside the iPhoto library, and if you move, delete, or rename them, iPhoto cannot access them any longer.
If that is not the problem, please post back and explain more detailed how you are importing and where your iPhoto library is located.
To fix it, if you imported without copying, and iPhoto is missing the originals, you need to put them back, exactly where you removed them from.
Or simply import again with the "copy" option checked.

When i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please help me?

Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed

Iphoto can't find my photos -- how can I force it to recognize them?

I initially used iPhoto in referenced mode, but after a few years, I switched to managed mode, and then I inquired about how to make my iPhoto library entirely managed. About 2 years ago, Larry HN suggested Alias herder. I finally got around to using it, and there are no more aliases in iPhoto Library/Masters. The problem is that once I removed the referenced photos from ~/Pictures, iPhoto is acting as if the original photos are lost -- even though they're right inside the iPhoto library.
Now I did some searching on these threads, and the advice to those who have iPhoto libraries that are entirely referenced is to start afresh. But I can't do this, because a good part of my library consists of imported photos that don't reside anywhere else. And there's no way to drag photos from one iPhoto library to another, is there? My library has over 12,000 photos.
Isn't there a way to get iPhoto to recognize the originals inside the iPhoto Library. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, to no avail

This is split across two threads... might be best to consolidate onto one, no?
Library Manager doesn't recover one shot plus all the associated metadata, then next shot, plus all associated metadata..., it recovers the related data in difference stages, so the Faces Data may not be lost, but it may not be able to get to then stage of recovering that data before the crashes...
You could try create a new Library. Set it to be Managed. Then use Library Manager to copy over an Event to the new Library. Does that get all the data? Faces too?
If so, repeat and so on...

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

Bridge is opening all of my RAW files as jpegs when I import them from iPhoto

I have set my iPhoto preferences to send my RAW photos as RAW when using an external editor. If I only use ACR, this works fine, but if I want to use CS4 they are all coming over as jpegs and I then have to work w them as jpegs. I have PSE 8 . Do I have to do something before I open CS4 to have them come over in RAW format?

Not Very familiar with iPhoto but I think you do confuse two approaches for
your files. If you choose to work from iPhoto it takes the originals but
when using Bridge it might be an exported version in jpeg.
If you have PSE 8 with Bridge CS4 I would suggest you make a choice in
workflow and use Bridge as starting point. You can import your Raw files in
Bridge using Photodownloader (get photo's from Camera in Bridge) preferable
use a card reader for this.
And/or copy the older original Raw files to a new folder.
You can find the originals that have been imported using iPhoto in the
picture folder/iphoto library. Click on the icon and with right mouse click
choose show package content. In this new window you will see a file called
originals with subfolders. Inhere find the ones you want and copy them to a
new folder from your choice (either in the picture folder or elsewhere, but
obvious not in the package window for iPhoto, you won't see them after you
closed the package content window...)
Choose copy because in this way your iPhoto library and folder structure
stays as it is.
Now point Bridge to the folder with this copied files and let it cache the
files first (takes some time).
With this workflow you can manage your Raw files (rate, rename, adding
metadata and keywords etc.) and develop them in ACR and PSE. If you do want
to use the album structure from iPhoto you can choose to save your developed
files either as jpeg or tiff and place them in iPhoto.
It might be a better workaround because iPhoto is not the best application
to handle and develop Raw files, you have a lot more options in Bridge and
PSE

PowerBookG4 with iPhoto 5.0.4 can't/won't open photos

Ok, first of all I am extremely ignorant of OSX, and especially iPhoto. I used Classic until finally forced into X. I had been using OS 10.4.11 and have upgraded my old laptop as far as it will go (to 10.5.8) recently and that is what has caused this issue. I recently lost my HD on another computer, an iMac, so this is the only computer with those particular photos on it and I don't want to mess with something I know nothing about and end up losing the data. I've had no problems with any other apps. I have not tried any updates or anything for fear of losing the photos.I know they are still on the computer as I have use Graphic Converter (yes, I still use it *L*) in slide show mode for all photos on my computer and they all show up there. I had some ideas but I am not comfortable doing any work arounds or moving anything without some input from someone that knows what they're doing.
I have heard that you should never mess with the iPhoto library, so I have done nothing with it to this point. I can launch iPhoto but as soon as the frame for the app opens, I get a message telling me I need the newest version of iPhoto to access my photos and then my only choice is to click quit. How far can I upgrade iPhoto on a PPC PowerBook G4 and where do I find the update? I have run software updater and can't find any iPhoto updates that way. Any information would be greatly appreciated. My only viable option at this point is to take screen shots of each of them as Graphic Converter shows them and start over but that seems to be a big excessive and I would like to think there is a much better and less time consuming fix. I have added my computer info for anyone that can have a look at it and let me know what would be my best option at this point. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas you have.

I'm sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Does it explain it better if I ask "How can I access my iPhoto library without using the iPhoto app?" Whenever I try to open iPhoto, I get this:
This began when I updated my software to 10.5.8 I don't have a newer version that I am aware of. I can find no other version on my computer and to my knowledge I have made no changes to the library. I want the pictures that are IN the iPhoto library that the GC slide show can find when it scans the hard drive for the slide show to be able to be seen in another way than in the GC slide show. I have no way to open the individual photo by clicking on it.
If I do a search for the photo by "name.jpg" it shows the path to it in a finder window. The named photo can be found in the iPhoto library folder named "data", in a folder named "year", in a folder named "month,day,year". It can also be found in iPhoto library folder named "Originals", in a folder named "year", in a folder named "month,day,year" as a jpg. document. If I try to drag and drop either from this window into Preview or Graphic Converter (for example), nothing happens and it has the 'circle/slash' (international symbol for no) over it. If I click on it, it just opens iPhoto and I get that message I posted above and have to quit. I understand that the photos won't be put into GC since it's not that type of app. I just need them to be stand alone photos that I can put in accessible folders so I can open them, print them, or move them to backup. I don't know how to access the photos that iPhoto is keeping me from viewing. The photos are still on here, and can still be seen in the GC slideshow but I have no way of accessing them other than via that slideshow. If they didn't show up in the slide show, I'd not be able to see them as photos at all. As I said in my first post, I need to back up the most recent ones since my backup HD died last week, but iPhoto won't let me access them to do it.
I'm really sorry if this is not clear and I apologize for my ignorance. I am afraid of doing something that will lose the photos since I'm not proficient in moving iPhoto data and libraries around. I want to do this so I can back up these last 20 or so photos. Thanks for trying to understand. If "How do I fix my iPhoto library" is a better question, then I'll ask that. I just want access to the photos. The app is not important to me, only being able to see and access the photos.
Thanks again for your time.

Pictures in iphoto not showing

I just purchased a new MacBook pro and transferred all my files from my 2007 MacBook. Everything worked well but now, there are many pictures in my iPhoto library that are showing up as grey squares. Sometimes, when I'm scrolling, I can see the picures for a second but then they go grey agan.
I've tried to rebuild my library but this didn't work. The pictures are still showng up okay on my old MacBook.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
You have corrupted your iPhoto library by not having enough free disk space for iPhoto to save everything - you should always have 10% of your total hard drive with a minimum of 10 GB of free space to assure safe operation of your computer -- Hopefully only your database description file was corrupted
Just to be sure tha tyou are using the correct library launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the locate library option and point to the iPhoto library on the external drive
If this does not fix it Do you have a backup? If you do this is the time to load it - if you do not it is a great time to start keeping one
Try rebuilding your iPhoto library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys - select all options
If that does not work download IPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild option
If neither works you will have to create a new library - quit iPhoto and launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and use the create library option (create it on your external hard drive), check the iPhoto preferences and be sure that the option to split items imported from the finder into events is not checked and open the old iPhoto library and the originals folder and drag each folder in the originals folder to the iPhoto icon in the dock - this will recreate your events with the original photos - the edits, keywords, books, slideshows and other projects will be gone
