IPhoto 9.4.1 no longer creates events
I imported a bunch of photos that I took from my iPhone to iPhoto, and they while they show up under iImports, they no longer show up under Events. I tried to create an event by selecting the photos and choosing Create Event, but the new event still doesn't show up. Anyone else notice this problem?
They are there
Set the desired sort. View menu ==> sort events

Iphoto 11 no longer creates events or list newly imported photos...
iPhoto 11 seems extremely buggy. I think I'm going to downgrade back to the prior version. Anyone have suggestions before I take this action?
Problems:
1) When ever I import new photos they no longer show up in new events or the "photos" grouping of all photos. They did get imported though and I can access them by selecting "last 12 months".
2) If I manually try and split an existing event and all photos in the new event disappear from all listings.
Tried to run that batch chmod app that everyone is suggesting for permission problems but it didn't help. Does anyone know which meta file records events and the all photos listing so I could examine it for whats wrong?

Not really - have you upgraded to version 9.1.1?
Problems:
1) When ever I import new photos they no longer show up in new events or the "photos" grouping of all photos. They did get imported though and I can access them by selecting "last 12 months".
This can be a sort issue - they are there but not where you expect - look at the view menu ==> sore events
2) If I manually try and split an existing event and all photos in the new event disappear from all listings.
How do you "manually" split an event?

Why did my iPhoto stop creating events?
I need to find out why my iPhoto program no longer creates events. It has created them for years upon uploading photos but then is suddenly stopped. It stopped in August of last year (2014). The photos are in my library but I no longer have the convenience of just going to a grouping of photos from an event. Is this a glitch of some kind. I have not found a setting that deals with this.
Thanks!There photos are in Events. Every photo is in an Event.
If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' or Photos view, then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as these are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library. -
This is somewhat similar to the other HDD postings but on mine I see the drive and can select it but it will not allow me to create events.
This is a new computer that I just picked. At first when I installed FCPX I could not create events so I brought it back to my local Apple reseller who had just sold me a custom configured Macbook Pro. They could not figure it out but when 10.6.8 was release they installed it and it appeared to fix the FCPX problems.
However after using it for an hour I got an error with one of my events, the clips were red with a yellow triangle. This problem was limited to this event so I continue to create new events and import clips, once I decided that the problem appears to be resolved I decided I would delete all of the work and setup FCPX to begin my work. I then shutdown the computer and when I started it backup to my surprised I can no longer create events on my second drive.
I have check permissions and verified the drive is a Mac OS Journaled disk. I have deleted FCPX, reinstalled it, re-formated the drive but I still have the problem. The only thing that appears strange to me is in the Event Library FCPX lists my two drives as follows: Macintosh SSD(with a picture of a house), STORAGE (with a picture of a diskdrive). Now in the Project Library the same drives are listed in the same order however the Macintosh SSD picture is now a drive and the STORAGE now has a picture of a house. It changed the pictures.
Here is my configuration of my computer:
-13" Macbook Pro.
- The DVD was removed and the 500GB Apple SATA drive was installed in the space the DVD once occupied to be used as a scratch disk.
- The OS was installed on a 120GB SSD that was installed inside the Macbook Pro.
I have tried connecting a USB drive and that works.
Every other application works fine but since I only purchased this computer for FCPX and chose this configuration based on the Apple reseller who know that my sole intention for this computer was running FCPX. I would not have purchased it if I know FCPX would not work.
Any suggestions please let me knowHello,
What if you try to create the APPROVE event using SWUE?
I assume you are creating the event with the same key as for the SUBMIT event.
As always, try SWU_OBUF.
I've encountered that message before, never did find a reason for it. Please keep us informed how it eventually gets fixed.

I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8. I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?
From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
ThanksHi,
If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
Best wishes

I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images. In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides. How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto? Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
Thanks!I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update! -
When importing iPhoto doesn't create events
When importing picutres to iphoto it used to create events, now it all goes into pictures and no events are created automatically nor do I have I option of create event manually. Please help
Right click on any photo in Photos and select 'Show Event' and you'll be brought to the Event containing the pic.
Events and Photos re both views of the same Library - think of them as different windows to the same room.
So if a photo is in Photos, then it's in Events too.
Usual reason for this is that the Event is not where you expect it to be - because you've a different sort or a the date is incorrect. -
PhotoStream is not creating Events in iPhoto
Having set my iPhone and iPad and iMac to PhotoShare/ PhotoStream I'm having issues creating Events in iPhoto. I like events.!
There are pics in PhotoStream that do not and will not appear in Events. Why.? How.? Frustrations.!!!Okay, did all that. No help. The search did not turn up the most recent photo stream. Logged out of iCloud (pain in the a@# because I have documents stored there), turned off photo stream in iPhoto, logged back in, turned on again, and Photostream repopulated iPhoto in exactly the same way as before (i.e., no event--but photostream in the left nav column). Only thing I noticed is a little wireless icon in the photos in photostream. Here's a picture:
See the little wireless icon in the bottom left corner? Here's another picture:
There is no Nov. photostream event. WHY????? Do I actually have to plug in my device? I thought the purpose of Photostream was.... -
When I transferred my iPhoto from macbook to iMac it created double events for each, how do I correct this?
How did you do it?
Here's what should work:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else. -
IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?
You don't have a problem at all.
IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
go to finder>all images
Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
I try to delete the extra copies
Then you are trashing your Library.
So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.

Iphoto, Creating events and Albums
I have attempted to create events and albums on the photo app in Ipad with no success. I have also synced the iPad to itunes and transfered pictures from an existing iphoto (macbook pro) event with no success. How can i create events and albums on the Ipad so i can seperate new pictures into specific areas for viewing.
You can't. Photos on the iPad doesn't have organising features. You can't create groupings, or copy from one event/whatever to another. You have limited features in the 'camera roll' for images you've saved onto the iPad - you can delete them or share them.
Your organising has to be done on the Mac in iPhoto or Aperture. Both create Events based on metadata from the image (date and time and so on). You can make albums and sync the albums to the iPad.
I know that isn't what you want, but it's all we've got. It bears repeating - the iPad is not a completely standalone device - it's dependent on a desktop and iTunes for its full functionality. -
I can no longer create an event in iCal on my iMac. The new event menu does not appear when a ginve day in double clicked. This issue arose after attempmting to sync via iCloud to my iPad3 and iPhone5. Any suggestions?

Can't open & create event in iCal
I used to be able to open & create an event in iCal. But, the last time I sync'd my iphone & macbook it asked me which event was correct. I clicked on the one on the right and haven't been able to view or create on macbook since (can open & create event on iphone).
What do you see when you click on the Event? Also can you see the photos in the Photo mode? In the Photos mode do you have Event Titles selected in the View menu so they display? That will let you find the event you want and see if you can see the photos there.
Try the basic fix first: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.
So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create 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.
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.
