IPhoto Events not used elsewhere

I have noticed that AppleTV, my iPod Classic and most other apps don't recognize Events in iPhoto. It's really annoying to look at photos on my iPod or AppleTV and just see this one huge list of photos. Why are Events not recognized outside of iPhoto? Is there a switch I can turn on somewhere?

No, there's no such switch. You can use Albums - and very quickly make Albums of your Events. Other wise let the developers know you want this feature:

Delete fotos in iPhoto events not used in Foto Book

the problem with this issue is that there is no "indicator" in or on the pictures in the event the foto book was made from which says: this was USED in the foto book/project and this was NOT USED in the foto book/project. So, how to delete those in the event which were NOT USED?
If you invoke all the fotos of the event on the side of the foto book selection screen those you USED are flagged, the one NOT USED are unflagged, but the iPhoto does not allow at that stage to delete multiple images by using the Command click method suggested when you are viewing the event pictures.

Do you want to must remove the unplaced pictures form the book or from the library? If it's from the library and you don't use the ratings try the following:
Bring up the unplaced photos tray, select one at a time and give it a rating (this works as long as you don't use ratings). Then create a smart album with the criteria Rating is X. All of the photos with that rating will be displayed.
Select them and use the key combination Command+Option+Delete to move them to the iPhoto Trash bin. Then empty the trash bin.
Warning: This will delete the photos completely from the library. Make sure this is what you want because they'll be gone for good then.

IPhoto event not showing all pictures

Photo (stored as .jpg format) does not appear in its iPhoto event directory. It was created by stitching two photos into one. Original two photos continue to appear but not the stitched pic. The file does appear under Documents --> All Images; file info says it is located in the directory where its two "parent" photos are. This has happened with other photos I import and create new ones from the original set. When I attempt to drag the stitched photo from All Images into its supposed iPhoto directory, I get an error message saying "Unreadable File." Why do these pictures not appear?

If you saved them into the iPhoto library then it will not work - you must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the contents or structure of the iPhoto library - iPhoto is a relational database using SQL and all photos must be imported into iPhoto
Set the stitch program as the external editor (iPhoto preferences) and open both photos in it to edit using iPhoto - do the stitch and save the resulting photo to the desktop doing a save as and import the stitched photo into iPhoto from there

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.

Option to "Move Album Out Of iPhoto Events" not showing

I've read that other Photos users, when right clicking (or Control + click) on one of the imported iPhotos Events albums, see an option in the contextual menu to "Move Album Out Of iPhoto Events". I am not seeing this option, only "Play slideshow", or Rename/duplicate/delete Album, or Sort By Name.
Anyone seen this and/or know how to resolve this? Thanks.

OK, thanks Leonie... unfortunately I can't do them in a batch though, I have about 300 of these!

Re: Convert iPhoto Events to Photos Albumsin response to Kevin Hawkins
I had the same problem. There is a quick and easy fix. Go to My Albums section and then go into the album "iPhoto Events" and then hit Command + A (Select All) that will highlight all the events. Then right click and click on move events out of "iPhoto Events". Once you do this, all your events will be individual albums listed in the album section.
.. so why am I unable to do that?

Iphoto does not use the proper display profile

Hello.
I just bought a 20' Apple Cinema display and connected it to my Macbook. I have noticed a very strange behavior of iPhoto and Preview.
I will first describe the expected (right behaviour).
When I drag an image opened in Adobe LG or Aperture from the Macbook display to the Cinema display (or the opposite) after a very small delay the color of the image adapts to the color profile of the display where it was dragged. Which is the correct the behavior.
With Preview or iPhoto this adaptation does not happen and the image is displayed with the right profile only on one of the 2 display. Besides being a very annoying issue, the very strange thing is how you can choose on which one of the displays the image gets displayed with the right display color profile:
- With Preview, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which is the default display in ColorSync display settings.
- With iPhoto, the display color profile used (for both displays) is selected based on which display the munu bar is (!!!). That is, if you want to have your image displayed with the right display profile on your cinema display, then you MUST have the menu bar on that display. If the menu bar is on the Macbook display the image on the cinema display will be displayed with the display profile of the Macbook display. Crazy!
You can try all of the above remembering that after any change you need to quit and reopen iphoto or preview or ColorSync for the settings to apply.
My question is: why neither iPhoto nor Preview act in the right way like Aperture or Adobe LG? Or at least, why iPhoto does not behave like Preview allowing me to choose where I want the menu bar without having this choice affecting the display color profile used to display my images?
Thank you,
Marco

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IPhoto events not sorted right in iTunes/iPad

I have a large number of events, sorted alphabetically, and 17,000 photos.
Occasionally over the years, iTunes has listed the events in random order, or chronological order, making it difficult for me to find and check the events I want to sync to my devices. In the past, deleting the iPod photo cache inside the iPhoto library would fix the problem, but that's not working now. Also, the contents of each event are deliberately sorted differently in iPhoto, depending on the event. For some events, I want the oldest photo as the key photo for the event, and for others, I want the newest photo. This is still working in iPhoto, but now when I look at photos on the iPad or iPhone, the events are also sorted internally by date, oldest to newest. My event list is also sorted chronologically, oldest to newest, making it very difficult to find older events. I've tried changing the sort settings in iPhoto, with no effect on the sorting seen on the iDevice.
I'm using iPhoto 9.4, iTunes 10.7, iPad 2, and 2 iPhone 4's.
Anyone know how to fix this??? Thanks.

Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars

Iphoto event not showing pictures

I had to restore from Time Machine my entire disk. However, since I have done the restore one event in Iphoto appears with no thumbnails and is grey yet all others are fine. When I open the grey event, all other photos in that event are blank (Grey) and I cannot select the individual pictures or videos. The metadata about the photo is still there (eg file name, date...)
I tried rebuilding the thumbnail cache by doing the CMD Option and selecting the first option but that did not work. Any Ideas? I'm concerned about going further and destroying my other events.

Control-click on one of the thumbnails of a missing photo and select "Show File" from the contextual menu. That should take you to the folder in the Finder that contains the file. If it does then you need to fix the database file for the library. If there's not file found the original files are missing.
If the files are found then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the *+last three options+*.
Click to view full size
If that doesn't help rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

[Solved] Disable sound events, not using a desktop

I use plain Icewm (simple window manager, no desktop). Some software such as firefox or chromium do sometimes (but not often) make a sound relating to an event. If it possible to completely disable that. The only solution I have found is to uninstall libcanberra but for some reason, this solution is not satisfactory for me. I believe tjhis is some kind of freedesktop configuration but I have no idea how the freedesktop standard relate to sound.

I have tried a few things, but I am still out of luck. To have an example of what I mean, go to http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ , select "Search for your Video Card" , then put an inexistants card and click "Find video card". You have a small windows saying "String <what you have typed not found>" and a "ding". i found no ways to disable these annoying ding. I thought having found the solution in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libcanberra but the suggested settings (with false instead of true, of course) does not seem to have any effect. Still completely uninstalling libcanberra solve the problem. But I would like to have a per user settings...

IPhoto Events NOT Appearing in iTunes for iPhone Syncing

Hi Guys,
I'm a recent convert from PC to mac. I loaded all my pictures into iPhoto and it recognized them all correctly as Events.
In iTunes though, I don't see a listing of my events. It says "Last 3 Months" and "Last Import"
How can I get it to see my events?

You need to create "Albums" in iPhoto if you want them separated by Events:
Ex: Johnny's Birthday (drag the birthday pix in Album-Titled: Johnny's Birthday
Next Album, etc.
In iTunes, when you go to the "Photos" Tab.. you choose which Albums you want to sync in phone.. Then Ta daa!
I personally, just made an Album Titled "iPhone". Any pix I want in my iPhone, I just drag it in that file.. (all events)
That way I only have to worry about one file.

IPhoto is not using/recognizing the iPhoto library

An iPhoto message recently popped up saying that my library was currupt and that it was going to run a script to fix it. I clicked ok and then another message popped up letting me know that the script had finished running.
When I went to open up iPhoto I was meet with a pop up asking me "Which photo library do you want iPhoto to use?". No libraries are listed and when I click on "Other Library..." my iPhoto library is there, but when I clcik "Open" nothing happens. Below is a screenshot of the windows I described here. My device is a MacBook Pro 13 Retina, iPhoto is version 9.5.1. Any advice you can provide will be much appreciated!

When I double-click on the iPhoto library it opens up iPhoto and I have to go through the process above. Also the only way I can reach my pictures folder is through Terminal.

IPhoto '09 not importing correct time on photos

I am using a Canon PowerShot S95. I've check the time in the camera and the time on my computer. When importing pictures from the camera to iPhoto, iPhoto does not use the time my picture was actually taken. I looked at the extended info to check the original time and the digitalized time. These times match but are incorrect as to the when I actually took the picture. This throws off the date. The digitalized time and original time will show 3:13:11 am. It is way off. I don't take pictures at 3am! So the problem of sorting picture with keywords and using the date separates the pictures incorrectly. I was sorting using keywords Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. Pictures taken the same day were separated to different events. I hope this all makes sense. Can anyone help me.

iPhoto gets the time and date from the Exif metadata of the photograph. This is written by the camera. You may not have taken the photo at 3 am, but the camera thinks it was 3 am when the shot was taken.
You can correct the date and time using the Photos ->Adjust Date and Time command

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?

When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event. Now it shows only one photo at a time. How do I get it back? Can you help?
