Iphoto doesn't seem to search in event names

I'm in the process of organizing everything in events. I've got a lot of events with the word soccer in the title. So i tried to search everything to do with soccer. It only listed a couple of pictures with the title soccer and none of the events. Did anyone else notice this or is it just me.
Thanks,
Peter

I've just run a test add very odd words to my Event names, and yes, iPhoto found them with no problems.
Perhaps you need to force Spotlight to re-index: Open the Spotlight Preference Pane and Add your Pictures Folder to the Privacy Pane. leave it there for a few moments - like 2 minutes - then remove it from there and allow Spotlight time to re-index.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

IPhoto will not let me type in event names properly

Just updated to OS X Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5. Now I can't properly name new events or change names of existing events in iPhoto. After I click on the event name, the program kicks me out after typing 1 or 2 characters. Sometimes I can't even get in 1 character successfully. Please HELP!!! (This is not a keyboard problem - same problem comes up on both my MacBook keyboard and my separate keyboard.)

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, 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.

Double tap zoom in iPhoto doesn't seem to work now??

Used to be able to double tap zoom on my trackpad in iphoto. Not anymore. Have read other comments about this, any feedback? Thanks.

I don't really understand what the first part of your query is about. However: with respect to your query about uploading:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

IPhoto doesn't seem to pick up my iPhone device when i plug it in...how am i meant to get my photos to computer WITHOUT using photo stream with iCloud?

i want to be able to put my photos on without having to use icloud....when i usually plug in my phone to the imac it would automatically bring up itunes, then iphoto and continue to automatically ask to import my photographs, but today i plug it in and it brings up itunes, then iphoto, but doesnt bring up my device in iphoto and doesnt show any photos to import that are on my iphone??? hhhhelp!!! plzzz!! ...and is there another way to be able to get my photos to computer without icloud?

Some people have fixed this with a simple re-start of the phone, others needed to reset the Phone.

Searching for event names in imovie 11

I have iMovie 11. I have hundreds if not thousands of events, covering 14 years. I'd like to
1) Search for a particular event or
2) Search for all clips in a particular date range, regardless of which event they are in.
I am surprised that I can do this in Aperture and iPhoto, but can't do this in iMovie.

Anyone out there who can help me out?
I only want to know the experiences of other fellow developers.
Help(even if you are not sure) would be really appreciated!

I complete and ordered a hardcover photo book. Now, I would like to order the same photo book as a soft cover or wire bound. IPhoto does not seem to have directions for this process.

I completed and ordered a hardcover photo book, Now I would like to order the same book but with a soft cover or wire bound cover. IPhoto doesn't seem to have a feature which just lets me change the completed book to another type of cover.

see my answer to your previous duplicate post
duplicate the book in case of issues and use the change \theme button - select the same theme and the new format - preview (in case anything has changed) and order

IPhoto Doesn't Recognize ISO from Canon G7

For some reason, iPhoto doesn't seem to read the ISO from images taken with my Canon PowerShot G7. Anybody know what the problem could be, or how it could be fixed?

Have you been able to get the ISO on that camera before. Did you have the camera set to Auto?
All of my Canon cameras do not record the specific ISO even though a specific ISO is set. The only Canon file I have that gives an ISO in iPhoto is from a Canon EOS 30D. I have Konica files that provide ISO in iPhoto as does a Nikon D100. The Canon point and shot cameras, s10, s100, s110, s400, s410 and the SD700 IS do not record the specific ISO value. It just give Light Source-Auto when viewed in an application that can read all of the fields.
Do you Twango?

Photos previously shared to CD not importing with Event names or Key Photo??

I have a DVD that was Burned from the iPhoto '11 Share menu. When attempting to import an Event to an existing iPhoto Library, the images import but the Event Name is lost along with the Key Photo. Albums are not maintained either. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Yes, I get the same thing. The Event titles are lost are are the keywords. I did retain the key photo. My events are untitled.
Be sure to send a bug report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

I just got a new iPhone 5. The sales person helped me transfer some of my photos from my Mac back to my phone. Now, my iPhoto on my computer doesn't seem to be working. Photos are there in photo stream, but I can't transfer them to events. Help!!!

I just got a new iPhone 5. The sales person helped me transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to the iPhone. Now, I can't get iPhoto to move photos from Photostream to events. Help!

Make sure you have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
What happens when you drag photos from the Photo Stream window in iPhoto onto the Events icon in the left hand pane? That should import the photos into the library.
If it doesn't thenTry the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto, reset its various preferences and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: 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.

Has anyone figured out how to use EventCombMT to do "text" searches of server event logs? I doesn't seem to work.

I know I can do this in powershell, but gosh I don't need a complex powershell script to do what this eventcombmt gui does so easily for quick searches. I just wish I could figure out why text based searches of logs. For example, suppose
you want to search events for a user a server may have logged, if I type in "user1" nothing is retrieved and yes it's there. Searching for events works flawlessly but I can't seem to get text based searches to work.

Hi,
Based on my research, if we want to filter events based on user name, we need to edit the XML query.
Please refer to this blog below:

If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic? When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic? When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

No it doesn't. Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A single shot can be in 100 albus and use no extra disk space at all.
If you have the same shot in two Events then yes, the file is duplicated.
When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.
The Finder doesn't really understand the iPhoto Library. It's quite possible for the iPhoto Library to contain many files with the same name. The Library also contains different versions of the same shot - thumbnail, originals and edited version. This is normal.

IPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

Hi There!
The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I don't have a USB card reader. I did try and different port although not a different cable.
I did remember one additional thing. I plugged my camera in at work to a PC. It was after that, when I came home, that the iPhoto wasn't working when I connected my camera to our iMac/iPhoto at home. I think this may have caused the problem.
Cheers!

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts. I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly i

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?
