Iphoto imports data, but no events appear

so, about 2 weeks ago, iphoto stopped creating events when i import photos...the photos are there in the
library folder, but there are no more events being created...is there a max number of events? any idea why
this is happening?

okay, this was a premature post, i just found another similar post and switch the
'view -> sort events' order and that showed them...not sure how the sort order
changed

I imported photos but the event does not show

I imported photos today, it shows up under "Last Import" but the event does not show under "Events", how do I fix this?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Also is your profile correct?
In the Events mode set the View ➙ Sort option to By Date ➙ Descending so that the newer events are at the top of the window.

Import Data Option Does not appear in navigation

I need to test the import capabilities as a Developer, but I do not see the options that are referenced in the help.
I installed NAV Dynamics 2013 R2 Developer Version on a development computer with "SQL Server 2014 - Developer" installed. I copied a demo company. The option "Import from Data File" does not appear under Departments/ Administration/
IT Administration/ General. Many other options are also missing.
I reviewed the security setting for the Domain User and enabled the db_owner and db_AccessAdmin for the user. It was installed with the same administrative user account and the user has SysAdmin rights.
I assume that this is some sort of security/authentication issue, but I also saw references that certain things are disabled in the demo. I can perform most basic functions, but many administrative functions are not visible.
How can I enable \the import capabilities?

Why can't I see the imported video if the event appears in my event library

I have imported a single video file from my hard drive containing a rugby game (1,4 GB). A window appears in IMovie indicating that it is importing the video and that it will be over in x minutes. Then, the new event appears in the the event library but no video appears. I have selected the all clips option, so it is not a matter of having made that mistake. I have opened the finder and the clip appears there within the imovie files, but I have not been able to edit it. PLEASE HELP.

How to download and store pictures in Iphoto by date taken, not event?

When I plug in my camera, an event box comes up asking for me to input an event. I want the pictures to download directly into a date taken folder.

If you set iPhoto's preferences to split events into 1 day time space photos imported from a camera will be imported into an event based on the EXIF Capture date with just one day per Event:
However, you can't import into an existing event.

ITunes imports songs but they wont appear in iTunes

When I go to import music, iTunes will go through the whole import process but when I go to search in my library, the songs dont appear. I can search for the album and it appears in the search box but when I click on it, nothing happens. I can go through my iTunes media folder in finder and find the album with all the songs in there but for some reason, they're not showing up in iTunes itself.
Please help.

Do you have itunes Match switched on People have reported that switching it off can help speed up imorted content appearing.

My iPHOTO is empty but the photos appear in the Finder "all images" folder

Yesterday my iPhoto '08 was fine, then today, when it came out of sleep mode, there was a Finder window showing two folders: one named 445555 and the other named iPhoto Library. I clicked on the 445555 and the iPhoto opened empty, with no photos, like new. I closed it and tried to reopen from the Dock but it was still empty. Also tried to open from the iPhoto Library folder with the same result. After some despair i found the photos in the "all images" folder in the Finder main window, so i suppose they are OK and in my computer.
How can i restore my iPhoto or at least make a back up of the most recent photos that i don't still have a back up?
Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point it at the iPhoto Library Folder - which is in your Pictures Folder. If iPhoto sees a valid library there it will open it.
If, however, it does not see a valid library there then your database file is corrupted:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Iphoto imports some movies ok..but not all????

iPhoto imports everything but some movie clips I've taken come up as .mov files and others as (poor quality) jpgs?
Why? Whats going on?

It displays a thumbnail of a .jpg and not a .mov.
You click on it and you get an enlarged version, just a poor quality photo.
This only happens SOMETIMES.
One movie may be imported as a .mov (with the correct info on iphoto page); ie: double click gets you what you want.
The next one may not and is just the dodgy .jpg.
Any clues????

How to make New Events appear at TOP of page, not Bottom?

When I import photos, they are automatically put into a new Event. That's great. But that Event appears way at the bottom of my long events list, even though my Events are shown chronologically with the most recent events right at the top. I have to drag the new event all the way through dozens of older events in order to bring it up to the top, where I can figure out which other event folders those new images might belong (ex: "family photos, Fall 2008").
This isn't the biggest problem in the world, but I'd love to know how to set iPhoto to create the new event at the top of the list instead of the bottom. Any help? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In the View->Sort menu select Descending. However that will also have the photos in the Photos mode be sorted descending. In the Event mode you can sort the events in one direction and the photos in those events in the other. In the Photos mode both the Events and photos are sorted the same direction.
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 or later), 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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I import data using .dmp into the table which has more columns then in import

I am building the history for warehouse purpose on Oracle 8i database and want to use the old import (.dmp) files (from oracle 7.3.4) to import data but the underlying table is having few more columns which are not in my old DMP file .. how can I import the data into these altered tables while using the same *.imp files .
Any solutions ?

That is the most obvious solution .. but think of the case when my operational database which is the source of my data is undergoing changes every quarter i.e after every 3 months there are some changes on underlying table structures which means structures of my import files will always be different after evry quarter .. you can imagine the number of temporary import structures I need to create .. can't there be a solution wherein I can write an SQL over the import file to read the data in required format ..

Using package to export & Import data

Hi!
Now i'm using exp imp utility to export & import data, but i don't want to everybody know password. My platform is windows 2000.
I want know, there is a package to do this?
thank!

What version of Oracle do you have? If you're on 10.1 or later, the DataPump versions of export and import use the DBMS_DATAPUMP package to do exports & imports. You should be able to use those to run the export from within a database session.
If your concern relates to people discovering database passwords from the BAT file you're using to invoke the export & import utilities at the command line, you might also consider using externally authenticated users. If you are logged in as a member of the ORA_DBA group, for example, you can connect to Oracle without a password

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?

I've just imported photos that are misdated and appear out of order in my events. How can I correct the dates on these events so they appear properly?

The one iin the Photos ➙ Adjust Date and Time menu option:
checkbox below:

IPhoto events appear empty but only when I click on them...

After reaching 56,000 photos in my iphoto library, I decided to upgrade to Aperture 3.3
I have tried sharing the iphoto library between both programs but in iPhoto there is a strange problem...
If I click on "Photos" all my photos are there.
If I click on "Events" all the Events appear with the Key Photo uppermost and the number of photos in each even stated...
BUT if I click on any individual event, it says "No photos" and nothing comes up.
I have rebuild the thumbnails and now the entire database but with no luck
Any suggestions warmly received

anything here that helps?

After updating to IOS 6.0.1 I cannot copy photos from the iPhoto library to the iPhone. The events appear correctly but the photo count in all the Events is 0

Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail. In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync. Mine just fails silently. :-)
