IPhoto 9.6 please help me use autosplit

My latest Iphoto upgrade put 20,000 photos in one event. I am trying to split them up again with autosplit but it is always greyed. What should I do next?
I don't want to use my Time Machine restore because there are 20,000 other photos that  have later dates and are still split in the way they were before. Plus I have added more since this problem was out of my sight for about 4 weeks, hiding in events further into the past. I select this Event that has absorbed 20,000 photos and I try to select auto split and it is greyed. What can i do next?

I select this Event that has absorbed 20,000 photos and I try to select auto split and it is greyed
That's the correct way to go about it.  Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

    I accidentally removed iphoto from dock, please help?
    iPhoto isn't in my applications to I can't drag it to dock.  All images and movies are still on Mac (heart did stop as I thought I'd lost everything and nearly cried) but I don't know how to get iPhoto back.  I'm worried about trying different things as don't want to lose anything on Mac.  Noticed that I haven't been using Time Machine and bought a couple of years ago so not sure what operating with.  I have our 2 CDs from when we bought the Mac - 13-inch Macbook Pro (Mac OS X Install DVD) and 13 inch MacBook Pro (Applications Install DVD).  My photos are not backed up so not sure if I need to do this first - can I back up to iCLoud or do I need newer software?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated - need lots of step by step instructions though!

    All images and movies are still on Mac
    Of course they are.  Deleting an app doesn't delete the files that's in it.

    i tried to get the installation disc for the camcorder but mac wont' recognize it becaue it is windows based i guess.
    i just bought the camcorder a few months ago and when my computer crashed thought i'm finally getting a mac...it's been a costly venture which has resulted in more frustration than before my pc.
    now the things i want to use with my mac that i thought would be even simpler...are not even useable...
    help

    That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
    You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
    Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
    Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

    Are you using Keynote on an iPad?
    If so you posted in the wrong forum, this is the Keynote Mac discussion and it is a different application. I dont know how the iPad works at all, so I cant help you, post in the Keynote iOS discussion.
    If you are using a Mac, the colours palette is accesed by clicking on the colour well (arrowed) and then selecting a colour chip or changing the color in the colour wheel.

How do I restore my iphotos?  Searched for them in Finder, and in "search"... they appear as text only.. but no photos.. please help.. Mark

    Have you verified that the iPhoto applications is not in the Applications folder or somewhere else on the hard drive? 
    To do so download and use  Find Any File to search for "iPhoto.app" because FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't.  If the application is somewhere else on the HD FAF will find it.  However, I doubt that it will be there but it's worth a search.

  • Successfully imported pictures from camera, backed up on external hard drive but now there is no sign of the pictures on hard drive or Iphoto...PLEASE HELP???

    I successfully imported 2 photo shoots from my camera.
    Once imported, as always, I saved the photos onto my external hard drive.
    Normally I would also keep the images on my camera until I have finished the job and handed the finished product to the customer although on this occasion I had to delete them due to an extensive shoot and the need for space.
    Last night I was hoping to start editing the shots so opened up my hard drive to find the 2 folders there but both were empty! I then opened up Iphoto and I can't locate them anywhere. My library only seems to date back to July. Could this mean my Iphoto is full so has not saved the images and they are now lost forever???
    I've checked all my trash cans etc to ensure they haven't been accidentally deleted and they haven't.
    Please help?!?!?!
    Many thanks in advance
    Damsel in utter distress! x

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Iphoto update problem-please help

    Hi everyone,
    everything started trying to look some photos out of a CD (200 JPG files) I was trying to import them to my library but the program crashed or stopped everytime at photo number 31. I was using Iphoto 5.0.4 so i decided to update it to 6.0.3 version but when I select the destination (Macintosh HD; 55.8 GB-35.3GB Free-)
    I got a message saying:
    You cannot installed it in that volume because the eligible iphoto application was not found in the location / Applications/iPhoto.app
    I looked, and the iphoto is under applications, now I'm not sure if I have memory space problems or what, could anyone please help me?
    I am not familiar with this, so I'll appreciate any advice.
    thanks

    Hi panis,
    iPhoto 5.0.4 is the last update to iPhoto 5. To
    update to 6.0.3 you have to purchase iPhoto 6 (part
    of iLife 6) first, then update to 6.0.3.
    thanks for the answer,
    but i am still having problems using the iphoto 5 then.
    I try to import the photos I have in a CD but the program blocks and I'm lead to force to quit when working on it.
    I don't even can see the photos all the photos from the CD in thumbnail version, and I've tryed in a PC computer and I am able to see all of them. memory problems?
    the computer is asking lately to quit an application or to restart it.
    any idea?
