Iphoto events all merged into one

I transfered my iphoto library from my mac laptop to an external hard drive. After I tested to make sure my photos were transfered and secure, I deleted the iphoto library from my mac laptop. I prompted my computer to open iphoto from my external hard drive. When I went to find a specific picture from an even, all of my events were gone except one. When I clicked on that even, it seems that all of my pictures got put into that one event. Does anyone know what happened or how to fix this? I thought that when you transfered your iphoto library, it should be in the same condition as it was on my laptop.
Thanks

Thank you. To transfer them, I took the iphoto icon that was in my pictures folder and put it into my hard drive and watited about 2 hours for it to transfer. When it was finished, I opened it up from my hard drive and my pictures were in there but I was viewing them the way it came up from iphoto and my pictures were all in there arranged by dates It looked like. I thought I was safe so I deleted my iphotos icon and emptied my trash to free up space. When I went to work on iphoto from my hard drive, my pictures were there but I only had one even when I clicked on the events tab instead of several different events that I had prior to backing up. How do I restore a backup.

All my events merged into one after Yosemite and iPhoto update

I am running iPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite 10.10. Some short time after updating iPhoto, I found all my events had merged into one. I tried to find the old library, thinking I could tell iPhoto to use the old library, but couldn't find it at all. Then I thought I could go into Time Machine, which I tried several times, and restore my Mac to two days ago before this happened. But that did nothing either. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

basically you are doing something wrong - events do not merge on their own and if you are running TM then you can restore the iPhoto library from ir - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You can use the autosplit command to split the "big" event according to your preference settings

Did anyone else have numerous events merged into one called "From MobileMe" after MM ended?

I just recently noticed that on June 30th, when I was prompted by iPhoto to import the old MobileMe albums after MM ended, that many of my events were merged into one event called "From MobileMe". The correlation was that they were all MM albums that I had uploaded directly from the event itself to create the album.
It also caused some other strange behavior with blank thumbnails for one set of photos, yet they appeared in their original event as well. I am so dissappointed. Apple only had a year to figure this out.
Has anyone else had this problem, and how have you handled it. The only two options I'm seeing are restore from Time Machine (but then lose everything I've imported and organized since July 1st, or just going through, reorganizing them, and hoping that none were accidentally deleted. So annoying.

The Apple Genius helped me sort out the problem: one bad FW800 cable!
All my switiching things around, with phone support from multiple Apple Advisors, trying to figure it out and that one cable always managed to work its way into the mix! Only when the Genius and I had multiple Thunderbolt-enabled devices to experiment with were we able to isolate the bad cable. Odd how the problem seemed to mimick the random-unmounting issue others have been experiencing.
My 2012 iMac itself is in perfect working order! As are the G-Drives. Best possible outcome for me!
Thanks for your feedback.

IPhoto '09 events "merged" into one big event

It isn't clear what happened, but all of our events got merged into a single event after a restart of iPhoto. Both the Events and Photos folders show just the one event. All 10,000+ photos are in this one event. All of the Albums, Books, etc. seem to be still there and in place.
Is there anyway one can automatically rebuild the events from the time/date info (the photos still have their timestamps)?

It is the same in both views. In events view, there is one event with a date starting in '01 - '09. In the photos view, there is same range of dates/photo count listed first. Opening either opens up all of the photos in the library.
The good news is all of the photos are still there. Also, all of the albums, books, etc are still there. Just lost the event/roll type organization (which is useful on its own).
I know that during one of the earlier upgrades of iLife, events were automatically created from the old photo library based upon some criteria (I presumed it was date imported or date taken), but I didn't see this as an option anywhere. I do know about recreating a library but I'm not sure that is the best path taken.

Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How to separate them. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How can I separate them in iTunes???????. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this you need to use different IDs. (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.) On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll. To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

All tracks from one artist merged into one huge album. How to separate into correct albums?

So all the songs from one artist have merged into one huge album. All I did was select all the songs and changed the artist name. Not sure why my iPod has it under one album. On iTunes they're separated into the correct albums but on my iPod it isn't. All the info (Artist name, album name, etc) is good, i checked a million times and still can't seem to figure out why my iPod is reading it like that. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks for the great link!
Although it doesn't allow me to cut 'n paste, like I was hoping, the answers give me a lot of insight as to how the track fields are structured, as well as full control over whether or not I want to group tracks together within the same Album. So, in the end, this information is more useful than the cut 'n paste function, as it prevents me from losing potentially useful track information.

Merge Clips Question - Sound merged into one track?

Hi there,
I've just switched over a feature project from 5.5 to 6 and a new, infinitely better equipped operating system. As I finally delve into the synched footage (merged in 5.5 but just about to start cutting in 6), however, I'm realizing that it seems to have merged all the sound tracks into one track? Sounds like it's all there, but just wanted to make sure that was supposed to be the case. The rest of the channels are blank, but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like everything was merged into one, because I'm picking up separate lavs, etc.
Further, I'm assuming that, per usual, an OMF will allow a designer to separate again in the end.
Thanks for any input you can provide.
Best,
Stephen
PS - Thanks, too, to those of you who helped me figure out the specs for an ideal new system. Ended up going with ADK and the system's great.

The way I would do it is to unbundle the elements in the two clusters and then build a new cluster and write to the database once.

Data Managers from all applications into one unique package

Hi,
The issue is that we are trying to put all the Data manager packages in all applications into one unique package.
If BPC admin changes the parameters or currency rates , he just has to run that one package which includes all necessary
packages and he may look into logs if he has to.
Firstly , We tried to put multiple run_logic process types into one process chains, but it is giving errors like;
u201CAn exception with the type CX_SY_TABLE_KEY_SPECIFICATION occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in
a RAISING clause Line Type Contains a Component with the Name FI_ACCu201D
or
u201CAn exception with the type CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
The system tried to insert a data record, even though a data record with the same primary key already existsu201D.
Secondly, after we read the blog () and we tried to run program
UJD_TEST_PACKAGE , but we get errors with %SELECTION% prompt variable.
Is there any other solution you can advise?
If we use the program UJD_TEST_PACKAGE how do we fill AnswerPrompt paremeter file for the dynamic script below?
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Lütfen bir kategori seçiniz.","%CATEGORY_DIM%,%TIME_DIM%")
PROMPT(TEXT,%LEVEL%,"XX Level",,"7,6,5,4,3,2,1")
INFO(%EQU%,=)
INFO(%TAB%,;)
TASK(XXX_LOGIC,TAB,%TAB%)
TASK(XXX_LOGIC,EQU,%EQU%)
TASK(XXX_LOGIC,SUSER,%USER%)
TASK(XXX_LOGIC,SAPPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(XXX_LOGIC,SAPP,MM)
TASK(XXX_LOGIC,SELECTION,%SELECTION%)

Hi. I have a similar issue to the one posted below in that I want to run a logic script for one application (call it Application A) from a DM package in a different application (Application B). This is to stop the user from having to switch between applications to run the logic.
I have tried the following:
1. I have tried putting the script logic from App A into App B, but the dimensionality is different so it fails to validate.
2. I have tried "hard coding" the application name within the process chain, but it fails with an error "u201CAn exception with the type CX_SY_TABLE_KEY_SPECIFICATION occurred ...." similar to the post below.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sean

I have 2 icloud accounts. can they be merged into one?

I have two iCloud accounts and want to delete one of them. Can the two be merged into one?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't merge accounts but there may be some things you can do, what exactly are you trying to achieve by merging accounts.

Have multiple accounts, how can I move all products into one account?

I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them.

Hi Craig
Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

How do i get three email addresses to all receive into one mailbox

We have a family e-mail address that works with 3 variations -
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
How do I set Thunderbird so that all come into one mailbox when we receive?
Also need to have a second mailbox/account for [email protected]
Trying to get it set up so it operates a bit like our Windows Live Mail (but without the WLM glitches!)

<blockquote>
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
</blockquote>
Are these alias addresses belonging to the same email account (i.e. same password)?
Are all three using POP?
<blockquote>
Also need to have a second mailbox/account for [email protected]
</blockquote>
Run the new account wizard and set up the account.

PI 7.1 runtime error: 2 messages are merged into one

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to 71. We are having a crtical issue with one of the interface. below are the details:
Background:Interface is using ABAP mapping to convert an Idoc into file.
File name is fed into u2018dynamic configurationu2019 in mapping program.
File adapter uses dynamic file name and saves the file using NFS.
Interface receives idocs in batch, so several Idocs are received by XI almost at the same time.
Interface has been working without any problem in version 3.00 for last 3 years.
Problem in 71.:On occasions (random, not always), 2 idocs are merged into one file. It means, only one file is created, which includes the data from 2 idocs.
In message pipeline, same file name is shown both message (in dynamic config after mapping)
We have tried u2018use temporary filenameu2019 option on file adapter, but problem is not resolved.
Any sugegstion pelase!

Hi,
In your Graphical mapping create an UDF with code Thread.sleep(1000) and map this udf to any node (may be root node).
Note: The delay is in mili sec.
This udf will delay the mapping for specific time. I am not sure if it is going to solve your problem but you can try.

My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?

My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?

Thanks for the input. I was finally able to find some test conditions that duplicated the problem, and it is either that or some other out-of-spec diffraction distortion. So I sent it off for repair.
