IPhoto has created a mega event and removed others

Hi.
iPhoto appears to have taken a whole year of my photos and gathered them into one event of the past 12 months - thus removing all my carefully named events over the past year.
Anyone else seen this or have an idea if I can go back to where I was with all my old named events, or will I have to split a whole year's worth of events all over again?
Thanks,
Simon

have an idea if I can go back to where I was with all my old named events,
Restore a backup copy of the iPhoto library made just before this problem occurred. Like from Time Machine.
If you have no backup the best you can do is set the time interval for each Event, i.e one event per day or week, in iPhoto's General preference pane.
Now click on the one event and select the Events ➙ Autosplit Events menu option. 
That will create an event based on the interval you set in the general prteference pane.

  • IPhoto's Faces has created duplicate photo, events, and small photos capturing just faces

    i bought this MBP late last year and import iPhoto Library from old MBP. Faces feature has created many thousands small photos capturing just faces of people in the photos.
    It also created lots of duplicated photos.
    How to delete these photos in batch?

    Larry,
    Sorry for the delay. I have tried copy the iPhoto Library from the old MB via the external HDD as following screenshot.
    However, when i plug this exrternal HDD to the new MBP. it turned out to bew the folder as photo attached below. I am not sure if this is because they use different version or not (but i guess not).
    pls advice.

  • Has anyone had this issue. I created my song from itunes to garage band, took my iphotos to create a slide show and when I burned to idvd there are several pauses during playback?

    Hi
    SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
    One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
    or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
    (only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut any version
    As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.

  • When I open Iphoto 11 I see the events and pictures but when I try to open them some photos gives me  aTriangle and inside is a ( ! ) in side

    When I open Iphoto 11 I see the events and pictures and I can open some pictures but the mayority wont open , when the open it is a triangle with ( ! ) insiteI need some help. I olso end up with a lot of dupplicates  pictures it is frustrairing

    That happens when iPhoto breaks the file path/link to the original image file. Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    I downloaded Yosemite and now my iPhoto has a bar across it and will not open. I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the latest version is not available in the Canadian Store. What can I do.

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Hello, i am interested in buying a 2010 Closeout imac 21.5 One model Is Z0JM5LL/a which has a intel i5 processor and the other is MC509LL/A which has a Intel i3 processor i figured the i5 would be better but specs say the i5 only has one processor

    Hi i am interesed in buying out a closeout model of a Imac 21.5 imac The 2 models are Z0JM5LL/A which has a Intel i5 processor and the other is MC509LL/A which has a Intel i3 processor I figured the i5 would be better has better specs but it says the i3 has a dual core Meaning 2 processors and the i5 only has a single Processor meaning i would think then teh i3 is better or is it false specs about the i5 do they both have dual Core Or which one is better Remember these are 2010 Models Not the New Quadcore Which Processor i am looking at is better????

    Both the I3 and I5 are dual core processors.  The I3 should be the 3.2Ghz model, which has an upgraded video circuit over the base model, which is good. The 21.5" I5 would have the same video circuit. It also has turbo boost, that the I3 doesn't have, which can boost it's speed from 3.6Ghz to 3.86Ghz when needed.
    If you need to compare the 2010 and 2011 models (or even 2010 only comparisons), here's some benchmarking: http://www.barefeats.com/imac11b.html , http://www.macworld.com/article/159631/2011/05/201127inimac31ghz.html , http://www.macworld.com/article/159765/2011/05/imac2011.html

  • IPhoto '11 Deletes All Albums, Events And Photos From iPad after Sync

    In addition to many of the other issues mentioned on this thread, today I synced my iPad for the first time since upgrading to iPhoto '11. After syncing, all the photos, events and albums except for "Imported Photos" were deleted.
    In iTunes, the iPad is set to sync albums and events from the last 12 months.
    iPhoto '11 has been a horror show for me. I use iPhoto daily and am currently in the process of downgrading via Time Machine.
    I understand that as a professional photographer I should be using Aperture or Lightroom, but I've just always felt comfortable with iPhoto.

    I really wish I hadn't jumped on this the first day. I need to wait a little bit and read the forums. Had I done this, I would've done a complete clone of my photo library prior to this. now I've lost a few months worth of photos, which *****. And there are people in a lot worse situations than I. Lesson learned.

  • Query regarding creating a Custom Event and Firing.

    I have created a custom event,a custom listener and a custom button.
    But when I click on custom button,my event is not being fired.
    When and how do I need to invoke the fireEvent() ?
    Please can any body tell me if I have overlooked any thing ?
    Thanks,

    Hi Stan,
    I would like to use my custom action listener rather that using the the normal actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    But some how this event is not being fired.
    Any suggestions to fire this?
    b1.addMyActionEventListener(new MyActionListener() {
             @Override
             public void myActionPerformed(MyActionEvent myEvent) {
         System.out.println("My ActionEvent triggered....");
    });

  • Iphoto has stored the wrong password and or username

    I cannot email phots from my gmail account through iphoto because of the wrong username and password stored in it. How do I change it?

    Hi Earthgrrl64,
    I would recommend trying the steps in this article to add the account as new and maybe remove the older incorrect one, if applicable:
    iPhoto '11: Email your photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2421
    Specifically, the section that tells you how to set up a mail account:
    To set up a Photo Mail account:
    Choose iPhoto > Preferences, and then click Accounts.If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.
    Click the Add button in the lower-left corner.
    Click Email, and then click Add.
    Choose your email service provider. If your service provider isn’t listed, choose Other.
    Type the requested information.
    Cheers!

  • I am running iPhoto version 9.6 on a 2012 iMac using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. One event in iPhoto has lost all photo information, and the photos are viewed very small.

    One event in iPhoto version 9.6 has lost all the original photo information, and views the photos as very small.

    started in 2007 and transferred to my latest Mac in 2012.
    How did you transfer the library to the new Mac?
    How did you upgrade the iPhoto application and library after upgrading to Yosemite?

  • IPhoto downloaded photos into an event and now they don't show up. They were deleted off the camera under the assumption they were in my library now I don't have anything.  Does anyone have any useful advice?

    I downloaded photos from my camera to iPhoto 11.  They were accepted as a new event.  I deleted off the camera disk.  Now, after going back into the events folder, the photos are not there. Does anyone have some useful advice? I've lost about 200+ photos...

    You can recover the shots from the Card with an app like MediaRecover
    As for the Library:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • Multiple bitrate encoder creates 3 seperate events and streams instead of a single event.

    I'm using the Niagara 4100 streaming appliance to encode a live multiple bitrate streams for an event. The problem is the Niagara encoder doesn't allow me to attach an event name to the stream url like - 'streamevent%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent', instead it only allows 'streamevent%i'. So in the end I get three seperate events with a stream for each event.
    Like so:
    Example:
    /Events/streamevent1/MNMMNNMxxxxx.stream 
    /Events/streamevent2/MNMMNNMxxxxx.stream
    /Events/streamevent3/MNMMNNMxxxxx.stream
    AND
    /Streams/streamevent1/files…
    /Streams/streamevent2/files…
    /Streams/streamevent3/files…
    Is it possible to make it work this way without using the 'adbe-live-event' parameter using the .f4m manifest file?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    There is a workaroud available but you can try using Flash Media Live Encoder, which is a free tool for better results. Surf to - C:\FMSHOME\samples\applications\livepkgr directory and you will find a main.asc file in there. This is the server side scripting file that is attached to the livepkgr application.
    In this, edit the var liveEventName variable and set it to the event you want to attach your streams to eg - "liveevent".
    Now create a separate copy of your livepkgr application inside C:\FMSHOME\applications\ like livepkgr_mbr and replace the main.far file with the main.asc you just edited. Now while publishing, connect to this application livepkgr_mbr and just specify the stream name - livestream%i. Check your permissions before starting the recording.
    This should work for you. But please remember that doing this will cause all your streams to be associated with the same event - liveevent as you are hard coding that inside the main.asc file. So its best to keep a separate application just for this purpose.

  • HCM P&Forms:How to create a user event and scenario step mapping

    Hi Friends
    I have a problem with Form Scenarios --> Other Attributes -->User Events:
    At present the values are: Operation :- the_operation_name
                                               Field Groups :- Field Group assigned
                                               Usable from scenario step :- Emp_Req_scenarion_stepname1
    I need to enter a new mapping here so that the operation is available in another scenario step as well.
    But in the edit I can enter only the operation name, not able to enter the scenario step.
    Can someone please suggest a solution or work around. Your inputs are appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Sajimol.
    Edited by: Sajimol Unni on Mar 2, 2010 11:54 PM

    Not quite true. A "user event" looks at what fields you selected for your "field group" for the event. Then ANY operation that has that field associated with it will get called (unless a "rule" stops it). User Events in HCM P&F are REALLY BAD in my opinion (I have ranted on them in many threads, blogs etc.). There are ways to deal with them and also ways around using them (see my blogs). I think this is one area in HCM P&F that needs a major overhaul/re-thinking.

  • My iPhoto has disappeared on my administrative side but other users have it. How can I get it back? And where did my Library go?

    I have a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.5
    I am the administrator on this lap top.  We have iPhoto on my husbands side still, but I can't find my iPhoto in my applications folder. This Mac did not come with a disc drive so I do not have a back up for the application.  Also, where did my library go?  PLEASE HELP!!

    If you husband has it then everyone has it. It would not be in your Applications folder, but the Applications folder at the top level of the disk.

  • I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

    I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Geoff  for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
    Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
    A couple possibilities are that:
    1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
    One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
    I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
    2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
    The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
    I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
    Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.
