Iphoto 2.0.1 fails to organise the library right

Any photos imported from another computer (in this case a PC) are organised in the iphoto library by the data MODIFIED rather than the date taken, even though in iphoto, looking at the properties of each photo, it has the correct date under the images original date.
after getting really annoyed by this, i just cant help wondering why i cant just organise my photos inthe library the way i want to, as i can with itunes?

^ Eh? What has this got to do with anything? Am I not explaining this right? Of course in the Finder, within a folder, files/tracks are arranged alphabetically. And yeah, there's no alternative. It would be nice if Apple allowed you to list files in the finder by other attributes (timestamps, ID3 tag data, etc) as in other operating systems, but that's another story.
What I said was you could organise the hierarchy of folders anyway you like, and even keep all your music files out of the library altogether and somewhere else. So instead of the default option in itunes, where it puts tracks inside a folder with the album name, and that folder inside a folder with the artist's name, you can organise them into folders by genre, style, BPMs, whatever you like.
"iTunes allows more viewing options because music files have more "meta-data" than photo files, but the different viewing options don't change the file organization in the folders that contain the original files."
For the third time, I'm not concerned about the viewing options within the application. I'm interested in the way iphoto organises the HIERARCHY of folders within its library.
It SHOULD be organising them by the date and time they were taken, but instead, for a large number of photos which were copied of another computer, it organises them by the date modified, which is the date they were copied over. So I have huge folder within the library on the 8th of october, within the 2005 folder, containing many months of photos.

  • DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found.

    Hello Everyone,
    We are getting an error while trying to create an Universe via Microsoft -> MS Analysis Services 2014 -> OLEDB for OLAP Provider under Connection in UDT -"DBD: Error while trying to load the transport provider for odbc. Failed to load the library. System error: The specified module could not be found."  We have installed BI 4.1 SP05 in our system. As per earlier posts in scn in BO XI 3.x this issue used to be for improper installation of Integration KIT but in our scenarion Integration KIT is within the BO 4.1 package so no seperate installation is required. Moreover I have checked whether all the driver is present under file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\drivers" and seems everything is fine. But still I am getting this error. One important point is we could use IDT because in IDT still we don't have option to connect with 'Microsoft Analysis Services - 2014 (XMLA)' as we are using Microsoft Analysis Services 2014 version.
    Kindly help if anyone has faced the same problem with SAP BO 4.1.
    Thanks and Best Regards,

  • After updating to iPhoto9.6 an error occurred and the iPhoto icon says it is downloading. The library seems ok

    after updating to iPhoto9.6 an error occurred and the iPhoto icon says it is downloading. The library seems ok

    Perhaps you need to wait for the download to finish. If it's going on for a long time then cancel it (which you can do in Launchpad) and try again.

  • Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • My iPhoto won't open it says that the library is locked

    I cannot access the photo library and all my iphone pictures are stored there and lots of pictures from my work that i dont have anywhere else

    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. .
    Regards
    TD

  • Why is my iphoto continues to require me to repair the library?

    Not only that, but has deleted all my archive for the second time!

    Where is your Library?
    Now the Library is on iPhoto Library\Thumbnails\... (i don't know where it was before, i think in the same place)
    What does "deleted all my archive" mean?
    It means that the photos there aren't on iPhoto.
    I always import photos directly with the cable from my iPhone, the divide by
    events, year and month.
    The events were, but there are no photos inside, The thumbnails are gray.
    The faces are all gone, places too.

  • How does iPhoto back up using time machine if the library is on and external drive

    I'm looking to store my iPhoto library on an external Lacie media drive so I have a central point for images. I intend to do the same with my iTines library although I understand there will be less availabitlity for the music.
    My question is.
    If the library is stored externally does that mean that Time Machine will not back these files up and will I have to have to have a 3rd party software to back the Lacie media drive up for safety?
    Regards Graeme

    Yes - unless you exclude it - check the TM preferenced to see what is being excluded
    and what format is the Lacie media drive? the iPhoto library MUST always be on a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

  • Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

    In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

    Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
    If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips.  Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

  • How to organise the library best for workflows?

    I need some help to set up my library propperly. I'm using Aperture for a year now and the organisation of my first major project was a bit of a mess and I lost control. I had a folder as top level, then a Project (box) containing folders and smart folders. I wanted to work with keywords only but that didn't work out.
    Now I have an even more complex project and I want to go back to a workflow based structure. But it seems that the boxes, folders and albums aren't quite designed for this kind of organisation. This is what I actually want to do:
    – Top level Project name e.g. Seasons
    – Sub-projects /divisions e.g. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (note that a photo can only be in one category)
    – Workflow sections where photos are moved according to their state of progress, e.g. Import, Editing, Review, Published (again a photo can only be/show in one location)
    This is how I would have liked to do it:
    1. A folder or box as top level called Seasons
    2. Four boxes or albums as sub-divisions for the seasons
    3. Give every step of the workflow an album or folder (like sections to move through)
    Now this is the obstacle I'm facing:
    1. I can't put boxes in boxes
    2. I can't put photos in folders
    3. I can't move photos from one album to another (they need to be deleted separately in the old folder)
    I have read about how these elements are designed in the other threads. But I havent yet found a way how to use them the best way for my purpose. The best thing I can think of at the moment is to use folders in the top two levels and boxes for the workflow.
    Is there anyone who tried to organise a project like this before?

    Hi,
    of course you have to find your own way.
    I just recommend  (I first did something similar to what you plan to do, so who am I, to tell that you shouldn't),
    to start not with Folders as the top level organizer.
    In my opinion you have to think not of files but of pictures.
    So the pictures are organized in PROJECTS and are always ORIGINALS because it is different to Bridge or LR
    not files that you are working with (it takes a while to think this over, I guess).
    So the pictures are now organized inside these folders into ALBUMS with different "workflow states" like
    the originals ( I would name them more: base-pictures or shooting or whatever)
    You pick your stars from 1 to 5 (and 9 to delete) to create kind of a choice from the shoot.
    Out of your choice you create an album for your EDITS and immediatly delete those pictures from the SHOOT-ALBUM ( they are still chosen and still you can make them visible via cmd/F and choose all pictures with 1 star and more- go to PICTURES-DELETE FROM ALBUM).
    So now you have every picture only one time inside your PROJECT and still only one time in only one ALBUM.
    Now you feel free to create some intelligent albums if you need, for checking which ones were taken to a lab for printing or send via email or whatever. For me personally these intelligent albums don't work but this depends on the workflow and your clients.
    The advantage is in my case, I export PROJECTS as so called MEDIATHEK (another AP LIBRARY) to an
    Ext HD, so I have all the adjustments and the order, in case AP starts to work not as I want it ( I had these
    issues a few times in the past and had, what is discussed in this forum as well, thousands of pictures two, and more times without knowing what I did wrong after repairing ).
    Hope this helps

  • When I create a new photo album in Iphoto it adds all my photos in the library

    I love my macbook pro but still not fully understanding Iphoto.  When I create a new photo album and drag photos over from a disk it seems to add all photos from my library. When I remove them it removes them from all the albums.  HELP!

    Add the photos from your disc to iPhoto, then drag them from the iPhoto Event or photos to the Album.
    You can delete photos from the Album without removing them from the computer.  If you delete them in the Photos or Events area, they are removed from iPhoto, therefore taking them out of the Album.
    The photos have to be in iPhoto to exist in an Album.  They cannot exist in an Album and not be in iPhoto..
    Hope that helps...
