IPhoto '11 - Left Pane - "Events" not showing

Howdy,
I have two Mac's. One 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) and one 13" MacBook Pro (2012). On the 15", everything is great, I see the Collapsable "Events" heading. On the 13" there's only Devices and then Albums with no Events in Between.
It's simply enabled somehow on the 15" and NOT enabled on the 13". As far I can find, there is no setting for this? Is it possible that I did it with a "defaults write" command on the 15" at some point?
Another interesting, but possibly unrelated piece of information is that on the 15" I have Aperture installed and sharing the library. At first I thought, "ah ha", Aperture must have contributed something to enable this. But when go into Aperture and viewed this shared iPhoto library, this events heading isn't there either.
Somehow my 15" iPhoto has this awesome option that's really key for moving photos between events.
The "Events" heading that I'm talking about is the one that is between Devices and Albums pictured here on my 15" (collapsed):
Both machines are running Lion 10.7.4 and:
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

I have the same issue however in my case it only applies to one iPhoto library, the others do not display the events listing on the left. All the libraries are on the same computer. I agree this is a really useful feature and I have been trying to replicate it in my other libraries.
I have recently sorted all the events alphabetically but not using the View/Sort Events procedure and I can't see how I did this either. Bizarre! If anyone has a clue it would be great to find out.

Photos event not showing date, shows some irregular words

Photos event not showing date

Thank you Btabz. Is there anyway out of purchasing iphoto4? Can't I just use my folders? If I had a pc, i don't think I would need a specific program like iphoto4. do you know of any other applications/ ways to transfer photos that might help?
Yes, I thought that iTunes would just sync with the folder. I had about 1300 pictures, and for some reason or another I had renamed about 20 of them, and they're the only ones that transfered to my ipod. By "renamed," I mean that I changed the Digital Camera's label of something such as "Fxl0004_21" to "Sunset picture."
I know that sounds strange, but that's what happened. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thank You.

Have latest updates for mac and iPhoto. several of "events" now show as grey squares with a plan tree, no thumbnails when scrolling over as before. Photos show when clicking on icon but not visible as a group. What gives?

Have the latest updates on my iMac and iphoto. Recently several "Event" folders have turned to grey with a palm tree in the corner. Before there was a "key" photo to help identify the event. The event title is still at the bottom of the square but no key photo. When i click on the icon, the photos that it contained show up, but when closed again disappear. How do I correct this annoyance?
Also: One event that contains about 12 photos has a problem---some of the photos when clicked will enlarge and show individually on the screen and print out, while others when clicken on show a black background with an exclamation mark and will not print. Thoughts?

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

IPhoto event not showing all pictures

Photo (stored as .jpg format) does not appear in its iPhoto event directory. It was created by stitching two photos into one. Original two photos continue to appear but not the stitched pic. The file does appear under Documents --> All Images; file info says it is located in the directory where its two "parent" photos are. This has happened with other photos I import and create new ones from the original set. When I attempt to drag the stitched photo from All Images into its supposed iPhoto directory, I get an error message saying "Unreadable File." Why do these pictures not appear?

If you saved them into the iPhoto library then it will not work - you must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the contents or structure of the iPhoto library - iPhoto is a relational database using SQL and all photos must be imported into iPhoto
Set the stitch program as the external editor (iPhoto preferences) and open both photos in it to edit using iPhoto - do the stitch and save the resulting photo to the desktop doing a save as and import the stitched photo into iPhoto from there

Events not showing up in Event Library

I have been working on importing a bunch of video from my DV camera and all has gone well up to this point. The next time I opened iMovie my events did not show up in the event library. When I look on the Finder I still see the clips in the iMovie event folder, but they are not in my event library. All I see in my event library is my iPhoto video and an option to open the Last Import (although nothing is there). Even when I import new video now, I can still find it in the finder, but not in the iMovie event library.

Talked to Apple support- we figured it out. In case anyone has the same problem: one of my events in the iMovie events folder was corrupted, once I deleted that file, all was well.

Event not showing up

Upon returning home from vacation, I began uploading pictures of our snorkeling trip from a new camera (we bought a waterproof camera before vacation). They seemed to upload just as normal, when prompted to delete photos from camera, I did so, as I always do. I had named the event after our vacation destination. I then un-mounted the camera and went to "events" to begin editing the photos. My new event did not appear. I panicked. But, then remembered that I named the event and used the search feature. When I entered the name of the event, it showed up. However, when I click on "events" it still does not appear. I would like to merge it with photos from my husbands photo stream that he took during our vacation, but it will not let me do this. I would also just plain like the photos to appear in "Events" without using search (at which point they appear on their own page.) I used Time Machine, just in case, to back up these new photos. I have been afraid, though, that if I close iPhoto, the pictures will not be there when I return. Any ideas?

So what does your experiance tell you? The event is there but you are not seeing it - so obviously you are looking in the wrong place.
This is one of two things - the event sort - set it while in event view under the view menu ==> sort events - or the data and time of the photos (possibly m=not setting or mis-setting the camera prior to use - correct this by selecting the photos and using the adjust date and time command
To merge events drag one onto another one or select two or more events and use the merge event command

Events not showing all photos.

I am running iPhoto '11 on OSX 10.7.4 Some events are not showing all the photos. The files are there when I look in finder at the original file. I've tried rebuilding the library but that didnt work. Any suggestions?

No I have not... I'm hoping for an upcoming update release soon...

Outlook recurring events not showing in calendar

Syncing my iPhone to MS Exchange.
I see in Outlook 2010 calendars, all the recurring events I have.
In particular, I see some birthdays in the current week, but on my iPhone 4s, running IOS 5.1, I only see a couple.
More explicitly, there are 2 birthdays on the day that I am writing this question, only one shows on the iPhone.
Also, one for tomorrow does not show, nor does an anniversary 2 days after that.
There is no obvious reason for some to show and others to not show.
Additionally, birthdays do not show up in 'Day' view, only in 'List' and 'Month' view.
I have tried deleting my Exchange account and re-adding it.
I have changed all birthdays from 'Private' to 'Normal' confidentiality
I have tried editing events which don't show on the iPhone, in an attempt to make them appear.
I can see appointments I create on the iPhone, in Outlook within seconds.
I delete a test appointment in Outlook and it will disappear on the iPhone.
I am at a loss.
An explanation, or preferably, a fix, would be appreciated.
EDIT:
I found that 'recurring events which are ALL Day Events' do not show on the iPhone.
However, I can search for the event and find it, even though it does not display!

Yes, all of my recurring events that do sync were created years ago in Outlook and I had no problem syncing them to my Blackberry Bold way back when. Initially when I got my iphone 4, everything synced both ways and then this year I got an iPad and intitally everything synced with it via iTunes/outlook with no problem. I've only noticed this problem within the last month or so and it drove me crazy. I reset both my ios devices but I refuse to uninstall and reinstall Outlook or iTunes. I've seen tons of posts on here that say it afffects the cloud, exchange servers and itunes so it's not just us. I've sent feedback to Apple and received no response. Others have too. Apple is aware of it and doesn't have a clue what to do about it. It now affects other events for me so I'm thinking maybe it has to do with default reminders and other things between Outlook and the ios devices. Maybe and update to iTunes or ios6 will change that, who knows. I still love my iPhone and would't go back to Blackberry; it's just way to slow for me.

Old All-Day events not showing in Calendar List View

Reviewing events in my Calendar on the iPhone and have noticed that All Day Events that are older than one year do not show in the "List" view
For example, I have all my holidays in a calendar called "Vacation". Month and Day view list holidays from earlier than today (09 Sept 2008) properly, however list view shows nothing. Timed events (e.g. day trips) in the same calendar show.
Similarly no Birthdays appear in the past. I can see a case for Birthdays being omitted in the past, but not other events (e.g. wanting to know exactly when you went to that all day wedding last summer)

I have this same exact problem. For me, past events that have a specific time associated with them show up in List view; however, past events that are all day events only show in List view once in a blue moon only. Apple support has been absolutely clueless about this issue. They just tell me it's weird and they have no explanation. It's unbelievably annoying though.

Events not showing in iCal, but do on my iTouch Calendar

I am syncing my iCal 3.0.7 with GoogleCalendar using Calgoo connect 2.1.3. It uploads new events to my gCal, but if I create new events in gCal, they won't show up on iCal. I thought this was a Calgoo problem, but when I sync my iTouch with my computer, the invisible events will become visible on the iTouch, but still invisible on iCal.
Any ideas? Is there a setting on iCal to make certain events within a calendar invisible that I'm missing? All the "hide to do" options in iCal preferences are unchecked.

I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
"You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
Anyone seen this before?

Why are Facebook Events not showing in iCal?

Hi,
I subscribed to my Facebook Events calendar in iCal an it was working fine. All of a sudden the events stopped showing in the calendar. The same happened on my iPhone.
I check and the link is still the same. Anyone else having this problem/ found a fix?

I'm having the same problem. I unsubscribed, then subscribed again hoping it would fix the problem, but still not seeing any events.

Calendar events not showing in ical

when i input an event or an invoice out of quickbooks as an all day event it puts the from: date later than the to: date. and does not show up in the calendar until i go in every time and change it to match or make the from date earlier than the to date.

This is a schema issue with QuickBooks, and you'll have to continue to update these items by hand until the issues is addressed by the Intuit programming team. I cannot believe that they are not already aware of it, but you should report it anyway.
On its face, it is ridiculous for them to create an event with an end point value which occurs prior to the start point value. All day events cannot end before they start! Actually, no event can end before it starts…
By definition, an all day event in iCal is one which starts on a particular date at 12:00:00 +0000 and ends at 12:00:00 +0000 on the next day. For example, an all day event on March 15, 2006 is represented in the truth [when pushed from iCal] as:
2006-07-15 12:00:00 +0000
2006-07-16 12:00:00 +0000
NOTE: I didn't pick those representations and that's not the way I would have chosen to do it, but it is what the iCal programming team has done.
As a user, you don't see the time values, and the date representation in the inspector panel is shown [for the above example] as:
07/15/06
07/15/06
Again, an all day event cannot end before it starts. So the data provided by the Intuit application is invalid: in effect, the event they have defined does not exist.

Calendar events not showing in notification centre

Was hoping there was someone out there that may have experienced the same problem, and has a solution.
I have noticed this morning that after upgrading to OS X Yosemite, I do not have my calendar events showing in notification centre. I cannot be sure that this is a result of upgrading to Yosemite.
Problem #1: In the today tab on notifications, an event did not show up for today, in both notification centre on my Mac, and on my iPhone. This seems to have been solved by changing the event from an all day event, to set hours. Is there a way that all-day events can be shown in notification centre?
Problem #2: In the today tab on notifications, down the very bottom, my Mac says there are no scheduled events for tomorrow. On the same tab on my iPhone, it says "there are 2 all-day events scheduled". Similarly, the event is listed in the notifications tab (not the today tab), in notifications centre on my phone, until you press on the event and it flicks you through to your calendar. Is anyone aware of why these events would not be showing up on my mac's notification centre?? I am assuming it has nothing to do with changing it from an all-day event, because it shows up on one device, but not another.
Calendar is switched on for notification centre on iPhone and mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Brendo

I found when I created an event, I needed to add an alert to it. Then it started showing up.

All day events not showing up in iCal

On my iMac I cannot enter an all day event in iCal. All day events entered via my iPhone or Mobile Me also do not show up on the iMac. Just upgraded to Lion, no problem before this!

Hi Linda,
Open iCal and from the View menu check that Show All-Day Events is checked.
