Iphoto - key photo won't set for an event on my iPad

I have placed my photos into "Events". I have assigned a "key photo" to my events. For some reason some key photos will show up as the key photo in iPhoto but when I sync with iTunes the key photo isn't the one I assigned or want on my iPad. First I rebooted my Mac and my iPad and I even changed almost all the key photos successfully but a select few refuse to change on my iPad after being synced.
The key photo for one of the events WAS NEVER set as a key photo.
Very frustrated with my Mac products lately.
Thank you,

Locked screen photo won't set

I'm trying to set one of my Photos as at Locked Screen but the photo won't set. I've tried several. Settting >> Brightness and Wallpaper shoes the photo as being set to the locked screen, but the screen remains black. Tried a resent - didn't work.

Not retaining iPhoto 'key photo'

I've been using the 'key photo' option in iPhoto so I can identify the content of the album by image, not just the title/description text. I've started using iWeb and want to add these albums. However, my choice of key photo is ignored by iWeb, and it chooses the first photo in the album instead. I don't want to change the order of the photos so iWeb makes the right decision.
Anyone know how to get iWeb to use the 'key photo' I've chosen in iPhoto?

That is just how iweb albums page works, 'key photo' in iPhoto has no effect in iweb. But you can change that with my javascript widget, see my post here:

Otherwise, give them feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html

I have a Nikon S6300 and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in events or photos only in recent imports

I just purchased a Nikon S6300 camera and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in either photos or events only in recent imports.
I have Snow Leopard on my MacMini.

Control-click one of the photos under the Recent import and select "Show Event" in the contextual menu. Or you can use the View ➙ Sort Events menu in the Events mode to reset the sort order so the new import will be either at the top or bottom of the list.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

IPhoto with photos won't update after Yosemite....help!

Hey all,
I downloaded and installed Yosemite today and subsequently was trying to update iPhoto. I got a message that said: This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. I had an old apple ID years ago for whatever reason and I accessed it and it said the same thing. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas, please?
Also it seems like everything is SO much slower....(I have also updated my iPhone). Seems like this is a common theme though. Any advice there?
Thanks in advance!
Sunset.

Does the application appear in the Purchases pages? Are you logged into the store with the Apple ID that was used to purchase it?

My contacts and photos won't sync from my iPhone to my iPad air, is there anything I can do? And could it b due to my iCloud storage being full on my phone not being backed up for a few months? Even the bits that were originally backed up haven't synced,

Any advice would b gratefully recieved!

BEST BUY NOT STANDING BY THEIR EXCHANGE/RETURN POLICY..
WHen I first attempted to exchange, I was well under BEST BUY return policy of 30 days...but wouldn't you know they finally responded to me stating they would not be able to offer me an exchange because NOW the return term time had NOW expired....
SO they waited until my return period had expired to reply and tell me they couldn't and wouldn't exchange it
because my return/exchange period had expired...
Well then that's clearly illegal isn't it? Contact the TN Attorney General's office.

I photo won't open pictures or events

When I click on iphoto the tool bar comes up, but not my pcitures. When I look at it in applications, there is a big blue circle next to the name (on the left). I know the pictures are there because it says that there are 199mb being used for them. How do i get rid of this blue circle and open my pictures? What is the big blud circle for> What does it mean?

there is a big blue circle next to the name (on the left)
Next to what, the iPhoto application?
Do you get the left hand pane with the Events and Photos icon at the top when you try to open iPhoto? Do you also get a blank window on the right where thumbnails should be?
If so then it sounds like you've damaged the library. Make a temporary backup of the library and run the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - 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: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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 we get Apple to do a better job on iCal? Now we can't even specify snooze times. Please give us the flexibility we need--minute, hour, day, week, month, year alerts that we can set for each event we add to our calendar.

I'm liking Mountain Lion a lot so far, except for the new iCal performance. iCal has never been as good as the MS Office calendar, not even as good looking much less flexible and, for me at least, a lot less intuitive. And that points to another big problem Apple's increasing totalitarianism has created: I would change back to the MS Office calendar in a micro-second if it weren't for the fact that Apple has never created a way for us to coordinate our iPhones with the Office calendar. My life with Apple goes back to the birth of the Mac and it at once gives me chuckles and fits of righteous indignation that for decades Apple criticized (and sued) Microsoft for its attempts to channel users of its products to other MS products by making 'third party' products not work well with MS software. There's a lot of truth to the idea that Apple is becoming a bully in its steady insistence on giving us fewer and fewer ways of putting together software and hardware sets that we think are the best for us. Whatever happened to Apple's free spirit!?!?!?!?
I can do all the whinging above because Apple has always built exceptional products and because even now its service performance is fifty times as good as any other company I do business with. If you doubt that, just try to get any kind of support from Microsoft.

No point in whinging here, we are all just users. Use Apple feedback.

How to change calendar setting for one event in a repeating series?

Is there any way to change the calendar setting (color) for a single event in a repeating series without changing the color of all events in that series? It seems one event in a repeating series is linked to all other events in that series even if you change the time and/or date first.
The only workaround I've found is to create a new event Identical to the event in question except with the different calendar, then delete the original event. This would be a lot easier if the OS would ask the user if s/he wants to apply the calendar change to all future events or just this one. Or if there was a way to more easily duplicate a single event, that would also save me a lot of time.
Thanks for any responses.

The assignment of colors to calendars on your iPad is pretty simplistic. You can set a color for each calendar and all events (repeating or single instance) placed in a calendar use the calendar's color; however, you cannot set a color for one instance of a calendar event. The workaround you came up with is similar to the method I use. I have a calendar labeled "Priority Events" (Red) that I use for important instances of standing meetings. Oftentimes I leave the event in question in the calendar and simply place a priority event in the same time slot; it clutters up the calendar a bit but helps me visually.

No setting for handoff in iOS8 on iPad 3?

My key photos are not showing up in Events anymore.

Can't think of any changes I've made since yesterday. The photos are still there when I click on the thumbnail. But the thumbnail itself is blank. By blank I mean a greyed out palm tree. The titles and dates show along the bottom of each thumbnail but not the number of photos in each event. The number is given as 0. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Have you restared your system recently - if not try it

Does anyone know if there is a setting for calendar events in notification view

It feels like that the notification view for for "at-a-glance" calendar views have regressed from ios6 to ios7 in terms of usability and convenience.
The notification center ALWAYS shows the next 6 hours of your calendar, even when it is empty and there is no way to preview individual events/appointments beyond the 6 hours. This is a waste of space and scrolling. I know how many hours there are in a day and the empty calendar really isn't useful when I have other appointments for that day that would be much more useful to preview.
I just don't understand why Apple thought it would be a good idea to take up the entire "Today" screen with six hours of empty calendar entries ALL THE TIME. With ios6 I could quickly get a glimpse of all the appointments I have for tomorrow all in one place from the notification center, before I go to bed. With ios7 I have to actually open the calendar app. This is a step backwards.
Things like this really makes the ios7 release seem premature and unfinished. Minor UI issues I can live with, but this is actually making my smartphone dumber.
For example: http://thingswrongwithios7.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/calendar-app/#attachment_7
And also All day appointments are no longer visible from the notification drop down.

Select key photo for iOS albums synced with iPhoto on Mac

In iOS 7, if a user was syncing photos from iPhoto on a Mac to an iOS device, it was possible to choose what key photo would be displayed for each synced album in the Photos app on the iOS device. In iOS 8, this seems to have been removed, and when syncing, a random photo is now selected for each album instead, which doesn't seem possible to change.
Has anyone been able to find a solution/workaround to this?
I'm guessing/hoping control will be restored to the user when the new Photos app is released for Mac OS X Yosemite, but any feedback will be useful.
Thank you.

Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events. Right now, I just have to live with it.... I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

How to set the Key Photo in .Mac Web Gallery ?

Has anyone managed to set the key photo in a .Mac Web Gallery album ? The key photo is the photo used on the main page of the Web Gallery to illustrate the event.
In iPhoto, all you do is select in the left column a published .Mac Web Gallery, right-click on the photo you want to set as the key photo, and select "set as key photo".
In aperture, you can do the same in a project, but this will only set the key photo for your "all projects" view. This key photo is not used when exporting the project to .mac web gallery.
In all the web galleries I export from Aperture, the first picture is used as the key photo, it's really a problem. Any solution ?

There is a small "Header Bar" if you will in iPhoto, you can drag the photo you want to that header bar and I think that accomplishes what you want if I understand what you mean by Key Photo (the photo that shows up in e-mail if you forward the gallery to others). My wife and I stumbled on that solution as we were trying to figure it out. Actually I think wife gets the credit, she had the mouse in her hand when it happened .
