IPhoto browser events by date

How do I set the Aperture iPhoto browser to sort events by date?
I'm new to Aperture 3 trial. I have a large iPhoto library from which I want to import an event. I keep the iPhoto events ordered by date. The Aperture iPhoto browser orders events by name. Over the years my naming conventions have changed. My earlier events had names 2001-11-15-name. Since iPhoto started to sort events by date, names started to reflect the contents rather the dates. Still there are many, many events and sorting them by name is not helpful to me at all. It could just as well be random.

Sorting can be done by: Date, Rating, Label, Version Name, Keyword, File size, Pixel Size, Manual, and in Ascending or Descending order. You will see a small label at the top of the Browser which in your case is possibly says Version Name. Click on the R/H side of the label box to show all options. Allan

  • Mail / iPhoto Photo Browser out of date.

    In Mail, a photo browser button allows me to browse the contents of my iPhoto library (Events, places, etc).
    However, the contents are not the same as what I see in iPhoto.  They appear to be out of date - no event or photo after Jan 2011 is present.
    iPhoto itself is working just fine, and has plenty of more recent photos and events etc.
    Any ideas what's going on?

    Firstly, always assuming your profile is up to date,  I would update the device to 10.6.8 using the Combo updater as follows.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up the most recent security updates.
    Then try again.
    If there is no improvement I suggest you rephrase the question and put it in the iPhoto columns where it will receive the attention of the gurus there.  It is always good practice to channel questions to the communities that are directly related to your problem.

  • In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie.  Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

    Background:  I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac.  In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras.  SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files.  So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder.  When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails".  Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events.  I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie.    I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie. 
    I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos.  But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie.   I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.  
    Appreciate any tips or pointers.
    OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner. 

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • IPhoto 11 Event Date Question

    I have a question about iPhoto 11 events.  My camera was set to the wrong date for part of an event.  I went in and did a batch change of the time and date of the affected photos.  However, the date range beneath the title of the event still has the old erroneous date, and the event gets sorted by this date range.  Is there a way to go in and change that date range under the title of the event?  I go to the event and click on info, and the event shows the correct date range for the pics, but it is not changing the date range under the title.  Thanks for any help in advance.

    Thank you - I had the same problem and found your helpful answer.  However, this is actually a work around to a bug in iPhoto - it's not how the Apple Support pages say it works and common sense says that if you change all the dates in an event it should sort to the right place without being re-created.  Can you help me with one more thing - how do I bring this to Apple's attention so that they fix it in a future release?
    Thanks again for the help.

  • IPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up

    Hi, my iPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up.
    I tried a solution that I found in the forum in which one should delete file com.apple.iPhoto but I don't have the said file.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes you do. In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    You can then find and delete the necessary preference file.

  • EXIF Data, iPhoto 08, Event Dates

    Yo, after upgrading to iPhoto '08, I noticed that some of my events have date ranges associated with them that are not correct. For example, pictures to the pumpkin patch last October have a date range of December 31, 1999 to October 19, 2006. Of course, the last date is the date we actually went.
    I tried to edit the EXIF data using the "Adjust Date and Time" feature. I've also run a date "Batch Change" setting all the dates at October 19. When I look at the photo information in the lower left hand corner, all the dates correctly say October 19. When I look at the detail after selecting "Show Photo Info," all the dates (Original Date, Digitized Date, Modified, Imported) are correctly set (none say December 31, 1999).
    If I create a Smart Album asking for pix prior to Jan 1, 2000, nothing shows up.
    So, it seems to me there is some date data that iPhoto is looking at in creating Events that I can't see and can't edit. Ideas?

    This has been found by some to fix a bad event. Select one of the photos that show the correct dates and create a new event with it. Then drag the remaining photos into the new event.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to sort photo events by date and avoid having duplicated photos on iPhone 6+

    How to sort photo events bby date and avoid having duplicated photos. Before the sorting by date worked perfectly by specifying "sort events by date ascending" in iPhoto from my Mac. Now the sorting from iPhoto has no more effect on the iPhones. And photos are often duplicated when synchronisin. Before these problems didn't happen. How to do?

    You can not  --  neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
    It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

  • IPhotos has randomly changed dates on my photos

    I am very organized in iPhoto, I've been using it for years. I have 15,000 photos in my iPhoto library and since last week I have noticed that it is randomly redating my some of my photos. Last week I browsed through my library from the earliest date (2003) without modifying anything on any photos... since then it has randomly redated some of those photos. I have no idea how or why this has happened... any info anyone can give me as to why this happened or how to correct it would be greatly appreciated!! I take extreme care to organize each and every photo that I upload, this little issue is driving me crazy!
    Thanks in advance!

    I have had a similar thing happen to me. At some point over the last year (perhaps during an upgrade?), iPhoto changed the dates of some photos in my library. The interesting thing is the pattern of the changes. iPhoto appears to have randomly selected anywhere from 1-3 photos from each of my events and then changed the dates of those photos. The dates inserted by iPhoto start in April of 2011 and advance by one day for each altered photo. For example, the altered photo from my library's first event (photos from 2001) is now dated April 4, 2011. The two altered photos from my second event (also 2001) are now dated April 5 and April 6, 2011. The one altered photo from my third event (2002) is now dated April 7, 2011. The photo altered from my sixtieth event (2007) is now dated sometime in June, 2011. I think you see the pattern. The photo(s) changed in each event seem to be randomly selected, and in some events no dates have been changed at all. It is not the end of the world (I can go through each event and correct the dates of the changed photos) but it is a big hassle as I have hundreds of events. Does anyone have an explanation as to what might have happened here?    

  • Photos. They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. Copied them (hours and hours) to external hard drive. They are now in alphabetical order (19,000  of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order-and have been taken with different cameras- help!!!!!!

    Photos.
    They are on my macBook, backed up on time machine. There are 19,000+ of them, some rescued from a pc crash- which I used the nifty iPhoto to put back into date order.    
    I want to take them all off my laptop, now............as I need to use it for WORK!!
    Copied them (hours and hours) to another external hard drive.
    They are now in alphabetical order (all 19,000+ of them) NOT IN THEIR EVENTS or date order. (-They have also been taken with different cameras over the years and some of the generic camera numbering remains.)
    I have tried to copy them (only a few as an experiment)  one event at a time, but that again "opens up" the Event "folder" and tips them out as individuals and therefore just lists image letters and numbers alphabetically.
    How can I copy
    the whole library still in  "Events" to an external hard drive?
    the folders/albums I have already made on to this hard drive?
    and how can I add to this back up monthly, again keeping events and folders separate and updated?
    Mac is so user friendly - there must be a way.........
    Thanks

    UPDATE : I have re-installed from disk, various apps that were no longer functioning such as iLife, iWork etc. So, I now can access my photos again.
    Also, I had to re-install all the software for my printer ( Stylus Pro 4880 ) and reset it so the printer is working again.
    Photoshop CS4 won't open. I think I will have to get in touch with Adobe as basically, I guess they have a built-in "blocker" which prevents me from opening the app as the license is for only 1 user and having re-installed the OS, there are now, in effect, 2 users ( Me and Me 1, I think ).
    So, having added on a new external HD, Time Machine has made a copy of most of the files, folders, apps etc onto the external HD. The internal HD is still nearly full ( 220 GBs out of 232 GBs ).
    I am guessing the way to go now in order to free up space on the internal HD is to delete/trash older photos from my iPhoto library and hope that if needed, I will be able to access them on the external HD.
    Am I correct ? Please advise before I do something I will regret.
    Thanks, Sean.

  • IPhoto browser can't see all photos in iPhoto

    When i use the iPhoto Browser only about half of the photos in iPhoto show up. I've seen some posts of similar issues but no clear resolution. Any ideas?

    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.

  • How does iphoto order events?

    How does iphoto arrange events for display purposes? It isn't alphabetically by title, it isn't chronologically by event creation date. I am baffled. If I know how they are ordered, I can move photos among events easier by renaming the events so they show up next to each other, then I can drag and drop photos in adjacent events without scrolling. Once I am finished, I can simply rename the events back to the original names. That would be the easiest way I have found to move photos around among events. I just can't figure out the riddle of how the events are ordered.

    By default events are sorted by the date of the oldest photo in the event
    Probably the easiest way to move photos is to flag the photos you want together and create an event from flagged photos
    But generally it is best to just leave events in date/time order and use albums for detailed organization - and/or keywords and smart albums

  • See events by date

    Would like to display recent 450 image shoot in events by date, but don't know how to do that. Now that I've updated Iphoto, can't even find the date/time of the individual pictures. Have camera (Canon G11) set to sort by date, but not to display date on actual images.

    What I really meant and want is to have them grouped in events by date.
    I have no idea what you want - there is not  (and never has been) a way to group events - when you import from your camera the event structure is determined by your settings in the iPhoto preferences - unless you have unchecked the preference to split photos imported from the finder into events imports from disk will be treated the same
    The camera was set to make "folders" by date, and I had hoped/expected them to group in separate events by date.
    iPhoto does not do anything with those folders - if you were to manually drag the folders to iPhoto (and have the option to split items imported via the finder off) then iPhoto will make a event of each folder
    b) I had stumbled on the info once before and forgotten it, often is out of site in window and must remember to look; kept trying to get it by clicking on the indicator on the image, as in previous Iphoto iteration. "Change"=improvement?
    remembering that this strictlhy a user to user forum- is there a question there?

  • Birds eye view of photos - like iPhoto's 'Events' view

    I switched from iPhoto to Lightroom. I love Lightroom. That said, I really miss iPhoto's 'Events' view. I'd love to see a feature in Lightroom that matched it's ability to quickly survey all of your photos.
    'Events' view shows one image for each event (e.g. day or shoot; you can choose which image this is). When you mouse over an event photo it acts like a little flipbook - moving your cursor from left to right flips through all the images in the event in order. When you grab the scroll bar the date will show while your scrolling to make it easy to know when to stop.
    I'm not suggesting that Lightroom copy this exactly (though that wouldn't be bad) but that there be some sort of way of looking at my whole collection of photographs at once without having to see every photo.
    The closest thing in Lightroom is accomplished by treating stacks like iPhoto events. Doing this I can open the Photos folder to show my entire library and choose to collapse all stacks. Mind you, that's only a workaround. I'd love to see a new way of viewing the Library.

  • ILife media browser has incorrect date for Aperture photos

    It looks like the iLife media browser use the date a preview was created as the date in the iLife media browser. Photos from the iPhoto library have the date the photo was taken.
    (A list view with file name, date and file size is available from a control click.)

    I got this to work by dragging a project out of my blue folders (it then showed up in iLife media browser), then I went back into Aperture, dragged it into the blue folder again, and quit Aperture. Just before quite Aperture updated the iLife preview exports and all of my blue folders and projects showed up in the Media Browser! Somehow dragging a project out and back in seemed to kick start the folder search.
