IPhoto '11 -- manual sort of event photos is not available

Hi,
When viewing an Event, for some reason, I am unable to drag and drop to sort the photos. View > Sort Photos shows Manually and Reset Manual Sort are grayed out.
I am able to do a manual sort of the Events themselves in the Events window, but when I open an Event and view the photos in that Event, I can't reorder them. I am reading the Help file, and I can't see why this isn't working.
Doing a manual sort in an Album works by dragging and dropping.
Thanks for any help.
John

That's correct. The manual sort applies only to the Events themselves, not their photos. Within an Event photos can be sorted by Date, Keyword, Title or Rating. Not manually. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you want to sort the contents of an Event manually drag the Event into the Album section of the left hand pane to create an Album of that event. Then you can use a manual sort.

Under View Sorting Options the Manual sort option is dimmed and not available; how do I fix?

Under the View tab, Sorting Options, the Manual Sort is dimmed and not available to me; how do I fix?

In an album just drag the photos where you want them. Manual sorting is not available in smart albums

How do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager?

how do i keep the original manual sort of my photos that i had in previous library after a rebuild in iphoto library manager? and keep the events in the same order with blank events also

Not sure you can.
Library Manager creates an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

The new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have for my business! can i revert to the prior i photo, or???

the new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have in my line of work! can i revert to the old i photo, and if so how? if not, what are my options?

I have no idea what you are doing - folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - they only hold other folders or albums - and albums can be sorted manually - and again have no idea what you mean by you hade to "minimize the size" - adding photos to albums has nothing to do with their size
iPhoto is really easy - but does have a learning curve - under the help menu there is an iPhoto help section that contains several very good videos to helo you get started with learning iPhoto - the owuld be well worth the time to watch

Event Photo's Not Showing Up

Hi I was just wondering why my Event photos were not showing up in my iPhones photo library. The only thing it list are the Event titles themselves. I remember when there use to be a photo for each event just like in iPhoto. Now the only ones that have photos in front of them are the camera roll and Photo Library it self. Is there any way to resolve this issue. Could this have anything to do with having a Mobile Me account.

One thing that might help out.
If you tap on an event to open it, does any photos show.
One thing you can try is to create a blank album in your iphoto.
Then sync the iphone just to that blank album to clear off any photos that you have synced from the computer.
Then sync a couple of events back to the iphone.
Hope this helps.

I cannot access iPhoto now I have upgraded to Yosemite. Not available in UK! What can I do? I have hundreds of photos I need access to and more to save on my computer.

iPhoto should be still in your Applications folder and will still work. But if you failed to keep it up to date then Try Terence's instructions here Is Iphoto gone ?i want it back!

Photo from iMessage saved to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

When I save a photo from iMessage to my camera role, how come the saved photo is not available to edit with iPhoto on my iPhone?

I tapped a photo in Messages to vie it full screen.
Tapped the Share icon and saved it to my camera roll.
Opened iPhoto for iOS and my image library updated. After the update I could see the image in my camera roll. I selected the amera roll, then tapped the image I had copied from Messages. I was able to edit the photo with no problem.
Did you follow this same procedure or ry to copy the little thumbnail photo from Messages?

Why does photo information not available when you email a photo?

Why does photo information not available when you email a photo?

How are you mailing from iPhoto? If you have iPhoto set to mail using Mail.app, you can set what will be included, when you mail with Share > Mail:

My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available. they appear to be lost.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

In Iphoto my manually sort is grayed out. I am unable to rearrange my photos. Any suggestions??

In IPhoto (Events), my "manually sort" is grayed out. I am unable to rearrange my photos. Any suggestions??

Hello Terence,
Okay I will try reformating the camera's card. However all is well when I export photos to my iMac at home or onto my iPad.
If your suggestion does not work should I try reinstalling iPhoto from the iLife disk? If so, how do I go about doing that or is there a website somewhere explaining this?
Regards,
Tom

Iphoto 08. Event photos are not all visible under "photos"

I have a number of photos that are visible when I look for them by event. However, when I switch to photo view they are not there. Any recommendations?

Events and photos are simply different ways of viewing the same iPhoto library
Do you have "event titles" turned on in the photos view so you can verify this?
My guess is that the photos view has event titles turned off and that the photos your are "missing" are simply sorted somewhere different than you expect

Manually sorting Reminders in iCal does not work

On my Mac, within iCal, I can not sort Reminders manually. I've deleted iCal Prefs and started over, but still cannot sort manually. Any ideas? Thanks!

The newest Version 5.0.1 (1547.4) of iCal, for Mac OSX Lion (Version 10.7.2), has the Sort Manually option for Reminders. As stated in the preceding reply, however, this option is not available in the iCloud Calendar. Therein lies the problem, apparently.
Yesterday, I was on the phone with Apple Support for an nearly two hours, trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Not knowing the answer, the first person I talked to referred me to someone in the iApps department. The person in the iApps department could not resolve the problem either. So, I was referred to a senior technician in that department. After a lengthy diagnosis, this person confirmed that this is a system-wide problem in which the function is missing. The case was forwarded to the engineers, and I will be notified when they have a response.
Once, I get the response, I will update this discussion thread.

I cannot update iPhoto as I receive a message saying update not available for this Apple ID as either it was bought by a different user or was cancelled

I have inherited my daughters Macbook Air and am trying to update i photo. The message I receive is - update not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or item was refunded or cancelled.
I have tried her ID which was still unsuccessful.
I cannot access my photos at all. Can anyone help?

Hi Queenstown2014,
Sign onto her Apple/iTunes ID in the iTunes Store. Then click on the iTunes ID and then on Account in the dropdown. Once you have her account screen displaying, scroll to the bottom and click on RESET next to the line "Reset All Warnings for Buying and Downloading", then try again (with her iTunes ID still signed on).
Cheers,

Did you upgrade to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 in Mavericks? Then updating to 9.6 may not work - it is buggy at the moment.
If you already own a version of iPhoto 9.x.x, but cannot update iPhoto, try to buy a new version. When I look at the AppStore, the price has now changed to "Free", so it should not matter if you buy again or update.
Delete iPhoto from Applications, but do not empty the Trash.
Go to the first page of the App Store and sign in with your AppleID.
Search for "iPhoto" using the Search field.
What does the button below the iPhoto icon show? If it is showing "Free" like for me, click "free" to purchase again.

IOS 8 Photo Sharing not available

After updating to iOS 8 Photo Sharing is not available on some iPads 4s while it is on others. I have checked setting to make sure Photo Sharing is turned on.
On one iPad 4 running iOS 8.0 all is working fine. Under iCloud > Photos > I see iCloud Photo Library (Beta) it is turned off; My Photo Stream turned on; and iCloud Photo Sharing turned on. If I go under Photos & Camera I have the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) turned off, My Photo Stream turned on; iCloud Photo Sharing on; and Summarize Photos also on.
On another device that is also running iOS 8.0 under iCloud > Photos > there is only My Photo Stream. That is all that shows up there. If I go to Photos & Camera I see My Photo Stream turned on, Summarize Photos turned on. The other settings mentioned above are not even there to turn on.
I tried re-inviting the other person to the Shared Photo Stream and she got the email on the iPad and Accepted the invite and received a message to turn on Photo Sharing in settings. Everything is on that can be turned on.
This is not the only iPad doing this. We have a number of them having the problem within our school after updating to iOS 8.
I should mention the Photo Sharing was working before the update on the devices and the shared photo stream is working on her MacBook.
Anyone with any idea on what could be causing this and a fix?
Thanks,
Gordon

Nope! That was the problem, I didnt even think about Voice Dictation being part of Siri..
Thank you very much for your help and quick response!
