Iphoto 11 is letting the side down

I eagerly upgraded to iLife 11 recently but have been very disappointed with the iPhoto format now. No longer can I name the event when the format is in photos. When I go to events the downloaded photos end up at the start of my photos events and have to be dragged down, which is very tedious. Please, please please do something about this as it is letting the side down on what was in iPhoto 9, an excellent product to use and work with. Are the problems I have found easy to solve, have I missed something??? Any constructive answers would be good.
Cheers

Have you explored the options in the View Menu -> Sort Events? Ascending? Descending?
No longer can I name the event when the format is in photos.
A workaround: Select any pic and right click on it. From the resulting menu choose 'Show Event'. Now you can rename the Event in the Info Window.
Please, please please do something about this as it is letting the side down on what was in iPhoto 9, an excellent product to use and work with.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback to contact the developers and let them know what you think.

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu

All of sudden my Apple Mail won't transfer photos from Mail to iPhoto using the "add to iPhoto" feature in the drop down menu. Do you know how to fix this?

mmchisholm - just so you know you're not alone, I too am having the exact same issue as of latest software update bundle. Have to manually add each photo until Apple issues solution or minor software update.

I can not open iPhoto. this is the messageShut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command ki get.

Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

I downloaded the new Firefox but it constantly freezes, doing absolutely nothing, and I can't even close it from my Mac dock bar, I have to turn off my laptop using the power button as Firefox won't let me shut down. What can I do?

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up. Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

Try this basic troubleshooting technique: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - reboot
4 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

IPhoto 6, let me count the problems

First of all, let me say I love my mac, and almost every piece of software they have made.
iPhoto however is the exception to that adoration.
My latest problem with iPhoto is a combination of a variety of issues.
1. To save hard drive space i deleted a tonne of photos from my hard drive, for some reason these were still appearing partially as thumbnails in iPhoto, even though they weren't in originals or data, or any other folder. So after trying to delete them again, I couldn't even tell which were supposed to be there and which weren't, so I did a rebuild to try to purge the absent photos. This sorta worked, but what it also did was resize all of my photos to 350x240. Not too happy about that, anyone know why it did that? Most of my images I had backed up but not the past few rolls.
2. Without fail exporting groups of photos doesn't work for me. Used to only fail when I had photos that I had rotated, but now it is doing it all the time. try exporting just to a folder and also the picasa web exporter.
3. Why does it have copies of images in original, modified and data?
4. Why can iTunes be so simple and so effective at organizing music, yet, iPhoto is so terrible in every way shape and form at doing the same with photos?

I would prefer if they made a stripped down version t
There are a tonne of simple image browsers for the Mac. Search on MacUpdate.
is there a simple function that allows you to replace the originals with your modified.
No, there is no way to turn off iPhoto's version control and trying to defeat it will simply damage your Library - again. If you don't require the feature then simply, don't use iPhoto.
I am not far enough removed from my PC days and tried digging around in the file structure
Remember: the trick to using iPhoto is to do everything in the iPhoto Window. And that means everything. If you cannot figure out how to achieve what you want then consult the help or post back on here by all means.
iPhoto is a database. Like any db it requires that you manipulate the data via the application and not through a back door. So, when you dragged all those pics out of the Library Folder, iPhoto didn't know they were gone.
For Instance:
To remove pics from iPhoto and the Hard Disk. In the iPhoto Window: Get into Library View and drag the pics to the iPhoto trash. Then iPhoto Menu -> Empty the Trash.
There are some common ways that folks try this and are annoyed to discover their library in the Finder is not getting any smaller. First, they drag pics from an Album to the trash. However, this does not remove a pic from the Library, only from the Album. You need to be in Library view. (This is just like iTunes.) Secondly, folks drag the pics to the iPhoto trash, but don't empty it. Also, folks miss the iPhoto trash and drag to the Main trash.
The size of the files makes no difference to the operation of iPhoto. I have a 20k library that totals almost 50 gigs. I files in there that run from 1MB to 6MB in size. I have no speed issues.
But: having a damaged db will, having an overcrowded hard disk most certainly will. And having 10gigs free on your HD is the minimum that OS X needs for normal operations. However, being unable to export is another symptom of... a damaged database.
As is the fact that iPhoto is not managing to export rotated files.
I'm not sure how you went about rebuilding your Library, but if you do the following, your Library will work correctly:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away.

Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away. On previous Firefox versions I could display my bookmark folders down the left side of my screen and just leave them there, accessing saved bookmarks when I needed to. Now with FF4 I can open a vertical column of my bookmark folders by clicking on bookmarks in the navigation bar but this won't stay there; if I click elsewhere they disappear. I could put a bookmark toolbar on my screen but this takes up more vertical space. I have lots of horizontal space that's unused. How can I go back to the display of bookmarks in previous versions?

You can fix that by going to View -> Sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
Or you could simply use a shortcut
''control + B''

When I open Safari on my iPad 2 and browse for a while, when I close safari on the background home of the iPad if leaves the imprint of the address bar at the top and down the side of my home background!?

Ok so,
When I open safari on my iPad 2 and browse for a while, when I close safari on my background of the home if leaves the address bar imprint and also down the side of the background it leaves white lines from the web browser. I've also noticed it when using various apps aswell. It's not just safari. I've also tryed different background images and it still does it!
Any help?
Thanks Natalie

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

My music is in alphabetical order but doesn't show the letter headings or the letters on the side. Can anyone help?

I just synced my Iphone to my new computer and added new music but the music doesn't show up like it used to. It doesn't have the letter headings or the letters going down the side. I have 21 songs right now and they are in alphabetical order but are shown like a playlist rather than a library.

You do not have enough music to display the letters on the side. The phone needs more music for it to determine you need help going through the alphabet. I saw it written somewhere some time ago, and it does the same thing for Contacts. I believe it takes somewhere between 50-100 entries before it will display that letter side on the right side.

It won't let me share my movie. Nothing happens when I click "share" or even in the drop down menu. I don't get options. HELP! I need this video by tonight!

I have worked with iMoive a ton and have never had an issue. I consider myself pretty computer savvy. This new iMovie is not my friend. It will not let me share my new video. I click on the project and click "share" like it says but I don't receive any further prompt. It literally does nothing. I tried the drop down menu and I see the "share" with an arrow indicating there are options but no drop down menu appears. I need this video by tonight to submit for work. HELP!

I got it to share! No reloading iMovie!
I do not have Mackeeper on my laptop
I have the movie files on an external hard drive
1. Close out iMovie
2. Eject the external hard drive
3. Start up iMovie
4. Plug in the external hard drive
5. Go into finder and double click on the folder containing the movie
6. Select the movie as if to edit
7. Share it!
I hope this works for you too

My iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since the update this morning?

my iphone wont let me scroll down on facbook walls since the update this morning? does anyone know how to fix this ive foiund a few people on google today its happened to?

I suspect the error message you saw earlier said something like "the maximum number of free iCloud accounts have already been created" or something similar, which is often associated with a 403 error.
When you get that message it means that three iCloud accounts have already been created on your device and you cannot create another one. This often happens when you purchase a used device and the previous owner already used up all of the alloted iCloud accounts on it. When this happens, all you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account on another iOS device or Mac when you have one.

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.
