IPhoto image information

How do I get iPhoto to record and display the date and the time an image was taken and not just the time it was imported?

But I see now what happened. When I copied the iPhoto files, it deleted the created date and just recorded the date i made the copy.
Exactly. When an image is exported (via the "File >Export..." menu), a copy of the image is exported, and the file creation date of that copy is the current (export) date.
There is a simple work-around if you want the copy to maintain the file date of the original image. Instead of exporting via the menu item,
b drag
the selected image(s) from the iPhoto window to the receiving folder on the desktop. The copies created this way will retain each original file's creation date, instead of receiving a new one.

  • "Loading iPhoto images..."

    I tried a search, but there were simply too many mildly related uploading issues to read through them all, and none of those that I did skim seemed to match my problem exactly. I am currently running a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.9.4 and iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2. The problem occurs every time I try to upload photos online. I'll use Facebook as an example but I'm fairly certain the issue occurs everywhere. When attempting an upload on Facebook, clicking the "Add photos" button opens a "Select file(s)..." window. Clicking on "Media/Photos" then narrows the options to "iPhoto." This is where the process stalls every time. Below that pane is another that simply lists "Loading iPhoto images..." I get a spinning progress wheel in the upper right (the black and white version) that continues to move so there doesn't seem to be a complete stall or freeze, but nothing else seems to happen. Now, I haven't let the thing run all day, or even more than 5 or 10 minutes, but I shouldn't have to, should I? Hope that's sufficient information. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated. It's gotten frustrating.

    The only way to test a back up is to restore it. The browsing feature will at most tell you that some thumbnails are present and no more with any certainty.
    The issue you describe sounds like it's related to the sharing mechanism, and a reinstall of the OS will fix it.
    When your new machine arrives:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How to get IOS 5 iphoto images to photostream?

    i am using an IPAD2 and am having trouble getting my edited IOS 5 iphoto images to upload to the photo stream.
    To be more specific, here is what I am looking to do:
    I am looking to upload my camera photos directly to my Ipad and then editing them with iphoto, and then having them backup to my photo stream. however, i cannot seem to get my edited photos to appear in photo stream.
    This has prompted another question of mine: is icloud and photostream the same thing? or is photo stream separate of icloud? My Ipad backs up to iCloud every night and i'm not sure what is backing up, and then i also use PhotoStream (or trying to). Which is the true way to backup photos?
    Thank you!

    Greetings,
    To make an edited image go to Photo Stream you need to share that image to the camera roll as detailed here: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.0/#blnkee26bc1f.  This can only be done 1 image at a time.  If you would like to see the ability to send multiple images to the camera roll at the same time, let Apple know: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
    Photo Stream is part of iCloud.  Learn more about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
    Learn about your iCloud backup and what it contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859
    Note: Photo Stream is not a backup.  It is a way to make the last 1000 images consistent across multiple devices (as detailed in article HT4486 above). Make sure you have Photo Stream setup on a computer so that your images and imported to that computer or import your images directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Hope that information is helpful.

  • IPhoto image description

    Recently my PB G4 hard drive crashed but fortunately I had a backup on an external drive. I have imported the iPhoto images (iPhoto 08) from the external drive to a new iMac running OS10.6.2 and iPhoto 09.
    The images moved ok to the new iPhoto app however all the event titles, image titles, descriptions, keywords and input information for images and events did not transfer. How do I restore the photo descriptions and events to the new iPhoto 09 app?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You don't want to import an library into another library. You lose all of the metadata, albums, slideshows, etc. and gain duplicate files since each original, modified and thumbnail file is imported as it were an original file.
    Do you have a backup of the iPhoto Library package? If so then copy it into your User/Pictures folder replacing any library there now and launch iPhoto.

  • Downsize iPhoto images & export them to a folder using Automator?

    Please bear with me. I wasn't sure where to post this since I can't find an Automator string in the Discussions window. This is what I'd like to do. I'm making web site using iWeb and I love it. However, when dragging and dropping images into iWeb from the iPhoto media browser, it imports the original iPhoto image into iWeb and not the edited one. This seems stupid to me but there it is. So as some have suggested I thought I'd grab and album and have all the photos in it downsized to 800x(constrained proportion). Can Automator do this? When i poke around in the iPhoto actions in Automator I don't see much. I've searched AutomatorWorld also and can't find anything there. Am I being dim about this?

    Benjamin
    I can't help you with Automator, but there is an Automator forum under the Mac OS X 10.4 folder, where I'm sure they'll help.

    Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

  • IPhoto images missing in Edit window after importing iPhoto albums folder

    A friend of mine with new macbook tried to import her iPhoto images from an external hardrive. She move it to her user photo album and then i believe she tried to point to it after launching iphoto. She told me there were some options windows popping up and she does not remember what they said but the current result is that many of her photos do not appear when she clicks on the thumb nails to edit them: said there is a grey field with a questin mark.
    My thought was to somehow repoint to the file or dump the .plst file.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    todd

    The question mark shows up when the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window loses the location of the file it points to.
    The most common cause of this is User activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    As your friend now sees.
    Unless your friend nows exactly what changes she has made, I'm afraid the best way to fix this is to start again, importing from your originals folder.
    There are comprehensive instructions for moving the iPhoto Library Folder in the Help, or if you need more you can most on here.

  • TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes.  I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them.  Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

    My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does.  I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

    I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
    Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
    Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

  • Where will i find iphoto images in my backup

    ok so i backed up my macbook pro but can't seem to find my iphoto images.  there isn't the option to search for all pictures like there would be on the mac and when i click on the iphoto icon in my pictures folder it just brings up a box and tells me how many kb it is.
    i've looked everywhere but can't see it and don't want to download mavericks till i'm sure i have everything i need backed up (just in case)

    Make a note of the size of the iPhoto library in your Time Machine backups.
    Close Time Machine
    Click the  Finder icon at the lower left of the dock on the Mac's screen
    Open the Pictures folder
    Click on the iPhoto Library to highlight it
    Click the gear icon above the window and click Get Info
    Note the size of the iPhoto library
    The size of your iPhoto library should match the size of the iPhoto library in your Time Machine backups
    Assuming that is the case, your iPhoto library is backed up

  • My title and description info on my iPhoto images do not import to Aperture with the image

  • How to see iPhoto images in finder?

    How do I see iPhoto library images in Finder, and also how do I access iPhoto images to download them as album artwork in iTunes?

    In general, you don't see the iPhoto images in the Finder. iPhoto replaces the Finder for everything you do with your images.
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

  • HT201250 Time machine include external iPhoto images?

    Hi,
    I have my iPhoto images held on an external drive. When I use time machine (incidently the same drive) with iPhoto open, will it save the iPhoto files from that library?
    Ta

    Thats a tricky one...
    My time machine settings has the time machine drive excluded under options in the preference pane.
    Coincidently it isnt backing up anything on that drive (there other files other than the time machine backup).
    My iPhoto Library lives on another external drive and it is happily backing that drive up....
    Hope that helps.

  • Upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and now iPhoto images are blurred...WHY?

    I've just upgraded to iOS4 on my iPhone 3GS and the iPhoto images are blurred? WHY?
    They were fine before...so now my screen saver is blurred and looks low res...all my images are crap quality...what is going on Apple?
    Checked the photos on my laptop and they are crystal clear...anyone else have the same problem?
    I wish I'd stuck with the old software now.

    I also had the same issue. I upgraded my iPhone 3Gs to the new software about a week ago. Yesterday the photos on my phone were blurry. I "googled" the issue and ended up here. Synced my phone and now all is well! thanks for the help.

    I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time.  Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them.  Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

    If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
    Maybe here:
    iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera
    Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

  • HT4927 iphoto image distortion

    I recently had a new hard drive put into my Mac. Now all of my iphoto images are distorted and seem very pixelated. Is thee any way to restore them to their original size? It also added faces to every picture and made mulitple duplicates. Help! Any idea?

    I do have a back up hard drive as well.
    Restore the Library from the back up.
    Then open it with iPhoto. Just open it. Don't import it. Don't drop it on the iPhoto icon or into the iPhoto window. Just open it.
