IPhoto Events are shown as empty

After importing over 26,000 photos from external WD HD and checking them OK on Library menu, I named faces in all 65 events created automaticaly. After IPhoto crashed at the end of procedure and I reopened, all events were shown as empty but with correct dates. No faces were added to list and total amount of photos went back to 3,500 that already on the Mac.
Memory has all 26,000 somewhere and if I try and load a photo again, I get the Notice asking if I want a copy imported.
What can I do to access all 26,000 new photos??

Have you checked the Trash bin in iPhoto?
And checked, if the photos have been hidden accidentally? Press the command "Photos > Hidden Photos ⇧⌘H". To unhide all photos, use the command "Photos > Unhide Photos ⌘L"
If these simple methods do not increase the photo count, try to repair your iPhoto library with the First Aid Tools.
Old Toad has a nice description how to repair and rebuild in this post: Try first the repair option, and if that does not help, back up your iPhoto library and go for "Rebuild".

Why multi day events are shown only on the first day in calendar (in month view)

Why multi day events are shown only on the first day in calendar (in month view)?

Figured it out - the event has to be marked as full day event in order to be shown in monthly calendar. Disregard my question.

IPhoto events are empty now

I just bought a new iMac and imported about 5,000 pictures into iPhoto. They were there fine but now they are no longer showing. The events are all still showing but are empty now. What could have happened and is there anyway to find my pictures? Some albums are still showing with pictures in them from an earlier import but not the ones from my most recent import.

You need to start a new thread as your problem is nothing the same as the thread you threadjacked
It also is not helpful to threadjack multiple threads - simpy start a new thread, supply the information needed to help you (what you have (version), what is happening and what recently changed)

IPhoto events ordernot shown in requested order i.e. by Title?

Why are my Events not shown in requested order i.e. by Title?

Er, let's see... no sorry, the crystal ball isn't working on your wavelength today. You'll have to go the old fashioned way for help:
If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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, pictures are shown several times in an event.

What's happening if the same picture in iphoto is shown twice or more in an event? Are these pictures saved on the hard disk more than one time or are they just in this event shown several times. Is it sufficient if I'm blind out the double? Thanks

I found one work-around, but I hope there's an easier way:
1) Right clip on the corrupted clip, and select "reveal in finder",
2) Duplicate the clip and drag the duplicate to the desktop
3) Select File->Import->Movies...
4) Navigate to the clip on the desktop, select "Add to existing event", select event, and click "Import"
5) The clip will be inserted in the original event, just before the corrupted clip

IPhoto events are created NOT in chronological order

Hey -
I noticed that recently when I plug in the iphone or any camera to the computer to transfer photos into the computer, the event that's created is at the END of the iphoto main page.
So if I upload something that I took today, it will park that event icon down at the end near my photos from 07.
It used to create an event at the head of all the photos (reverse chronological order) - such that upper left hand corner square was the most recent pics and so on.
Anyone know how to fix?
I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2 in iLife '09.

This seems to be a common problem after the upgrade to iOS 8 upgrade., for example: Re: Problems with events in Photo app on upgrading to iOS8
There is nothing that can be done about it. Sorting of synced events is not supported in the Photos.app.
To speed up a bug fix send feedback to the Developers using this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
iTunes Photo sync will be discontinued soon. The iCloud Photo Library will replace it early next year in Photos for MacOS X. Already, with iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled, you can no longer sync your iPhoto library to your iOS devices using iTunes at all.

My iPhoto Events are not updating in AppleTV.

I can see most recent photos, but the Events stop in June. I migrated from my original MacMini in June to a new iMac and that seems to be the same timeline as the latest event showing in Apple TV. Tried realigning both AppleTV (with reset) and toggling the iPhoto/iTunes settings. Any suggestions?

Thanks, it was set on manual instead of by date (?). Wonder why iphoto help doesn't note that..... Thanks so much for your help.

I just updated my iPhone to the latest version but now I'm not able to sync my photos because iPhoto events are all messed up and not showing all the pics...

It shows more events than the ones I have and they all have names from events I already have but contain only one pic or so...

No I have not... I'm hoping for an upcoming update release soon...

In iTunes the Photo events are not the events in iphoto

Since loaading the latest version on iTunes (10.7) the iPhoto events are not name as they appear in iPhoto and sone categories are just a date with not photo in that event... sone of the date are repeated several times... unsure of what is causing the events categories to mess up... The othe iPhoto categories are correct as for names and albums...
What can I do to rectify the situation?

Currently the only way to share your photos a) in the order you want, and b) with the titles you supply is to export them as jpegs, then re-import them, then share. Not exactly elegant (Apple - Are you listening?)

Can't see my iPhoto events on Apple TV 2

Hi,
In iTunes I selected to show all my pictures from the last 12 months on Apple TV 2. They indeed show up correctly, but all in one album. I want to have my events show up as well. I need to scroll through 3000 pictures to get to the most recent ones at the bottom. It takes ages.
I'd like to see my events from the last 12 months as well, just like on iPhone/iPad. Any idea how?
Thanks!
Jef

I have also the same problem:
I can't see older photos events of iPhoto on my Apple TV 2nd Gen. Only recent events are shown and I have selected to see all photos, events and faces from the sharing preferences in iTunes. Does anybody have any idea how to solve it?
Does anybody with the new iOS beta for developers has tested this issue?

I have lost all my iPhoto events after upgrading to Photos Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

I have lost all my iPhoto events. Or, am I missing something here?
I just upgraded to the new Photos from iPhoto on my iMac. The new Photos app imported and reorganized my photos by date and mixed all of my previous well organized iPhoto events into a jumbled lot.
How can I re-sort these photos back into an Event type of organization?
I think I had several thousand events.

Moments are the new Events. All of your events in iPhoto are not Moments in Photo and were also brought over as an album. Open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination and look in the folder titled "iPhoto Events".
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

Events are a day late than entered and duplicated

since ios5, events are showing up on the ipad a day later than they did before the uprade. ical on the mac was doing the same mistake before the upgrade. the actual info of the event shows the correct date and time.
i did change the first day of the week to monday (on the mac), in case that gives anyone a clue. changing it back doesn't cure it though.
time support is on - i am located in new zealand - on both ipad and macbook. turning it off doesn't cure the problem.
on the mac, most events are duplicated, sometimes on the same day, but some events are shown on the correct day plus a day later.
one of my main reasons for using an ipad, indeed mac at all, is that it "just works".
sync is now done over icloud.
does anybody know why this is happening? i need to enter new events but can't trust the software not to stuff it up. back to pen and paper...

just thought to check on ical on icloud. same problem, but as with the ipad, no duplications.

IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

Hello,
Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
Many thanks in advance.
Peter.

Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
Thank you,
Peter.

IPhoto Events In Browser

In the iPhoto Browser within Aperture iPhoto Events are organized very differently to the way they are displayed within iPhoto itself. Is there a setting or preference I can change to make Aperture's iPhoto browser present Events as iPhoto itself does?
Failing that is it possible for me to work directly from iPhoto as I import/export multiple photographs from the iPhoto Library into the Aperture Library?

In the iPhoto Library events are displayed from the oldest to the most recent, simple and logical but in the Aperture iPhoto Browser the events are organized by day of the year. So it it starts 1st Jan 2003, then 1st jan 2004, 1st jan 2005 etc then it goes to the 2nd jan and shows all photos from that day from all years etc.
It is hard to not get confused when seeing such a different ordering of photos and this is important as I wish to import photos a few at a time so that I can write metadata etc and create keywords, create new albums for all photos as they come into Aperture. If I import the entire iPhoto library at once it will wreck my improved organizational structure in Aperture.
With two different ways of looking at the iPhoto library I figure it will be easy to get confused and start missing photos.
I have worked out an alternative way to import that will work - I will copy the iPhoto library to another location and then just delete images as I get them into Aperture and that way I will be able to clear on what has been imported and what has not.
For the longer term however I would like the iPhoto library to appear the same way in the Aperture iPhoto browser as it appears within iPhoto.

Non-updating iPhoto Events

I upgraded to Leopard a few months ago, backing up my HD and doing a clean install. I'm not sure if this problem has been from the day I upgraded to iLife 08 or has occurred more recently, but now all my new iPhoto events are not showing up in iPhoto. There are some that do appear in Front Row, mostly my oldest events, and all the albums are there, as well as slideshows. The "last import" section shows my current last import, and in all photos all my current photos are there too. The only problem seems to be syncing the actual events. I've tried "rebuild the iPhoto library database", and it didn't seem to do anything in iPhoto or Front Row. Moving the library and making iPhoto find it again also didn't help, and manually reinstalling the Front Row 2.1.2 update did nothing either.
Any ideas on why this is happening, and how I can fix it? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You might try deleting the Front Row cache. You can find the folder in this path:
<Macintosh HD>/Users/<YourUsersShortName>/Library/Caches/com.apple.frontrow/
Delete the com.apple.frontrow folder, log out and then log back in to see if it's helped.
