iPhoto 9.6 (910.29) hangs when dragging a photo from events into a slideshow. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on a Mac from 2011. I am trying to edit a slideshow that was already created. I can delete a photo but I cannot add drag any more photos into it. Please help, time is of the essence! I need to finish for my daughter's first birthday!
Thanks,

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.

When I try to simply add a few photos (from Events) into a newly created Album, it always creates a Folder for the photos to go into. I don't need a Folder. I just need the photos to go into the Album. What am I doing wrong?

When I try to simply add a few photos (from Events) into a newly created Album, it always creates a new Folder - a sub folder to the new Album I just created - for the photos to go into. I don't need a Folder! I just need the photos to add into the Album. What am I doing wrong?

Sometimes it takes a precise drop to get it into the album. Make sure you see the album highlighted before releasing the mouse:

When I import photos from Photostream into my iPhoto, it no longer organizes them into Events. I haven't been able to creat an Event since November 2013.

When I import photos from Photostream, iPhoto no longer organizes them into Events. Although I can organize my photos into old or newly created Albums, I haven't been able to create an Event since November 2013. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Flag the pic(s) and select the the Target Event and go Events -> Add Flagged Pics to Selected Event
i see how to do this
Drag the selected pic(s) to the target Event.
i'm struggling with this. i don't see a way to drag a pic from photostream direct to an event. if i'm in photostream, i can drag a pic, but i can't see any individual event to drag it to. i can dump it in Events in the sidebar and drag to an event from there, but that's a bit clunky.
beats me why i can copy a pic in photostream, but iphoto won't allow me to paste in an event???

Showing only key photo from events within an album using iphoto 11

I'm using iphoto 11 and want to show only the key photos from events in an album. I don't want to see every photo from every event in the album, I only want to view the key photos from each event in the album. When I drag the event into the album every photo from each event is shown in the album.
I do have some events in an album with only the key photo showing but can't get all the events to display this way in the album. Any suggestions?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data. I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail. This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?

Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

You're in the wrong forum. Post to iPhoto for iLife, not iPhoto for iOS.

How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding; try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it: Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

Date changing when dragging/copying photos

Help! I am trying to organize my iPhoto library. I am essentially dragging my photos from my library to a folder or dragging them to an externa hard drive so I can then organize them into a new library. The dates and times are correct in iPhoto. Then, when I drag them into a new folder the dates will completely change. I had an event with 4 photos in it and the correct date for all photos was 4/19/05. When I drag this event to a folder in my pictures file or when I drag the event into dropbox, the date on 2 photos changed to 3/17/11 and the date on the other 2 photos changed to 9/30/09. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can stop it????

Suggested by a friend, I realize may be controversial... but, I have run out of room on my hard drive and need to dump my photos onto an external hard drive. So, here is what I am doing:
1) I create a folder in my pictures folder in Finder (Home --> Pictures --> New folder) for photos from a particular year (let's say 2008, let's say the folder is named Photos 08)
2) I drag an event/events of pictures taken in 2008 from my main iPhoto library into the folder Photos 08. This is the step in which I see the date change.
3) I switch to a different iPhoto Library (let's say Photos_2008). I have so many photos that my friend and I thought it would be easier to break them down into smaller libraries.
4) I import the photos from the folder Photos 08 into the iPhoto library Photos_2008. When I import the photos into the new library they all come through but they are lumped into one event called Photos 08 and the dates are still wrong. At this step, I have been manually correcting the dates.
5) then, I move the Photos_2008 library onto the external hard drive (actually 2 different external hard drives to be safe)
6) I make sure the photos are there by opening iPhoto from the external hard drive, and then delete (all the while cringing) the events from 2008 that are in my main iPhoto library
Does that make sense? Do you have any better ideas on how to get these onto the external hard drive? I'd like to keep some of the photos and my more recent photos on my computer but need to get the other ones off.
Also, a little background info... in early Sept '12 my system crashed. I also back everything up with Time Machine so they ended up reformatting my hard drive and then I used Time Machine to get everything back on my computer. Since then, my computer has been a mess. Multiple users with the same photos, songs, documents, etc. duplicates, triplicates of photos, documents, songs, etc. on my computer. A real mess.
Thanks for any advice you can offer,

When emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

when emailing a photo from the updated iPhoto, how do I find the CC and BCC button, and how do I send to a group from my address book?

The email function from iPhoto is pretty basic. The only Bcc available is to yourself (in iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced), cc: does not appear to be available at all, and it does not appear you can email to a group.
You can change this by going to iPhoto > Preferences > General and next to where it says Email photos using: select Mail. If you do this you have all the options available in Mail including Cc: and Bcc: and the ability to drag a group from Address Book into the mail addresses.
Best of luck.

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

Why when I email photos from iPhoto do they not show in my sent items in my mail ?

Why when I email photos from iPhoto using the share option does the email not show up in my sent items box in Mail. The emails are arriving ok but I do not have a record of the email being sent. Bit confused. I am new to my iMac .

If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

HI,
When I upload photos from my Canon Rebel 1000D to iphoto the images are labelled JPEG, yet I shoot in RAW.How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. I seem to have tried and read so much but just can't figure it out. How do I get iphoto 11 vers9.1.3 to not convert the photos to jpeg. Or do a have to use a different system? I have Adobe Bridge. Or can I upload directly into photoshop?
Also how do you install dmg's properly I am having problems installing them?
I have a Mac OS X 13 inch Version 10.6.7
Advice desperately needed
Thanks

Do you have Aperture installed? I found your model on a compatibility list; however, there was a note that it requires Aperture 2 to be installed:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
According to this excerpt:
To see a list of digital cameras with RAW-format support that are compatible with iPhoto, visit this Aperture webpage (any camera compatible with Aperture, Apple’s advanced photo editing and management program, is compatible with iPhoto as well)
which is at the bottom of this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/9.0/en/pht41627265.html
I may be wrong, but I interpret that info to mean you need Aperture 2 before iPhoto will work with RAW?

Most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter

most times when I import photos from my desktop or dropbox to iPhoto, iPhoto will keep the title I created for the image as the display title under the image. but occasionally it displays the filename instead and I have to go back through and reenter the title in iPhoto. why the inconsistency? running OS 10.9.5 and using iPhoto 9.5.1

Try this: select one of the photos that are showing the wrong title and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to File Name menu option.
See if that will put the name that you want under the thumbnail.

Why when I drag photo from bridge into existing document, it opens with an X through it? Most of my functions are then grayed out. Thanks for any help.

why, when I drag a picture from bridge into PS, to an existing document, I get N x THROUGH TH
E PICTURE AND MOST OF MY FUNCTIONS are grayed out?

It is opening as a smart object. Simply right click on the image in the layers panel and "Rasterize Layer" when you are finished placing and sizing the new image.
