Iphoto moments vs events

Perhaps the answer to this question is not yet known.
In iphoto I create events for clusters of similar images. In the new iphoto do 'moments' replace events

Correct, the answer is not known.

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported? Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

How do I stop iphoto from creating events automatically when I import photos from an external hard drive?

IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos and when I merge events and then go to finder>all images, I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....I try to delete the extra copies but then the albums or events also get affected, even if there is one copy of each photo left in all images...have someone had this problem?

You don't have a problem at all.
IPhoto is creating events automatically when I import photos
This is how iPhoto works. Every photo is in an Event. Events are the basic organisation of the Library. Every import means at least one new Event. Yes you can merge Events after import and so on, but there is at least one Event created at each import.
I see iphoto has created several copies of each picture....
No it hasn't. It hs created versions of the photos, not copies. There will be a couple of thumbnails for viewing in the iPhoto Window plus the Master and then a edited version for pics that are modified. The icons for each of these may be similar but they are not copies - for a start they are different sizes - and all are required for iPhoto to work.
go to finder>all images
Don't. This is simply a list of all the images on your computer. It makes no account or allowance for the purpose of these images. Really, if you're using iPhoto ignore this because if you
I try to delete the extra copies
Then you are trashing your Library.
So, this is how iPhoto works, there is no problem and stay away from All Images.

IPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug

_*iPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug*_
iPhoto 08 contains a bug affecting the display of images that the user has marked as "hidden." Specifically, when the user toggles the View-Hidden Photos menu option, the Library-Events thumbnail view does not refresh quickly or reliably to show or hide Events containing "hidden photos."
Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain visible when they should be hidden.
Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain INvisible when they should be visible.
This affects the Event thumbnail "key photo" if this photo was designated as hidden.
This also affects any hidden Event photos when the user "skims" over an Event thumbnail to preview its contents.
The issue is isolated to Events thumbnails. The problem does not exist:
a) while browsing thumbnails inside a specific Event.
b) while browsing photos in Library-Photos.
c) while browsing photos in an Album.
_*"Fixes" that do NOT work:*_
Software updates... I have the latest version of OSX 10.5.2 and the latest version of iPhoto 08, including all the recent security and graphics system updates as of 02/16/2008.
Maintenance... The issue is NOT resolved by rebuilding the database, rebuilding icons, or deleting the iPhoto preferences file. The issue can be reproduced in a separate user account after creating a new event in an otherwise empty iPhoto database.
After much tinkering around, the following is the closest I've come to a
_*TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:*_
To *NOT DISPLAY* hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos *is not* checked. Restart iPhoto, and the hidden images should now be invisible.
To DISPLAY hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos is checked. While the hidden images are now visible elsewhere, they may still be invisible in Events thumbnails, so restart iPhoto, and then wait about 10 seconds for the Events view to refresh with all the hidden thumbnail images now visible.
If after carefully reading this you feel you have a definitive solution, please post a reply with your suggestions. Otherwise, please post to confirm if you can reproduce the problem on your computer running iPhoto 08 on Leopard. If so, please also file an official bug report with Apple. The more people report this, the faster we'll get it fix.

My Acrobat Pro 9 has also this bug. I am using XP SP2. I have reported this bug at Adobe web site many times. I wrote to the Adobe customer care. I wrote about this on many different forums and I was hopping an update with this bug fixed. I installed all updates till now bu the problem still exists. I do not know why Adobe is not caring about this stupid bug. It is really, really annoying. In my experience with Adobe Acrobat for about 10 years, Acrobat version 9 is the worst version I ever worked with. There are a lot of glitches and bugs in it, expecially with fonts, web version creation, password protection encryption etc etc.
If you find any fix please post back on this forum.
Many thanks,

Can you stop iphoto from making 'events'

Hi,
I dont really understand why Iphoto places all your photos into different sections depending on the day the photo was taken..
I just imported all my photos from my iphone, and now I have 1000's of different events with 2-3 photos each in them, making the screen look very messy, unorganised and hard to search through.
Is there a way to just simply display all of the photos at once without silly little 'events' for every single day?
Thanks

On Saturday I go to a wedding and take lots of piccies, on Sunday I go for a walk with friends to blow the hang-over away, on Monday I take my camera to work to take some pictures of the presentationsome colleagues give in the afternoon.
That is o.k., as long related pictures have been taken consecutively. If you are working at three projects simultaniously and are shooting the photos in the same place at the same time, you may want another organization, for example, you spend three days in a city to take pictures for a book on fountains, a book on churches, and a book on birds. The photos will be mixed and not separated by time. I dove sitting on a fountain in front of the church would be needed for all three projects. iPhoto's daily events will not reflect the projects you are working on. The name "shoot" for the photos taken on one day would be more meaningful than "event" in this case.

I accidentally merged the events on in my Iphoto into one event. Is there a way to unmerge ?

Restore your backup - the reason you have a backup is to recover from errors made by software, hardware and humans - use it
Short of that the best you can do is use the autosplit selected event command in iPhoto

Iphoto deleted my events

iPhoto deleted my events. How do I restore them? I have a time capsule.
Help me Obi Won, your my only hope.
Mr. Sharky

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

How do i change date in iphoto on an event?

how do i change date in iphoto on an event?

Change the dates on the photos. Then, to force iPhoto to revise the ctalogue, flag the photos and go: Events: New Event from Flagged Photos.

Trying to Email Photo Using Iphoto 09: Apple Event Handler Failed, WHY?

Trying to Email Photo Using Iphoto 09: Apple Event Handler Failed, WHY?
This keeps happening. Please help me solve it

This one comes up from time to time and it’s caused by a glitch in the AppleScript underpinnings that work in the background. Frankly, I’ve seen no solution for it and suspect that it would require a re-install of the System Software.
Alternaive:
Instead of making the email in iPhoto, add the photos to the email in Mail. Use the Photo Browser in the New Message Window and you have full access to the Library.

You can even resize the pics in the New Message Window as you do in iPhoto.

Iphoto upgrade - photostream events

I recently upgraded my iphoto to the new photos app. I noticed that photostream is no longer creating monthly events (as it did in iphoto) Is there a way to revert back to this option? I liked how my photostream would automatically create helpful monthly events and automatically import all photos to those events without me having to manually create albums.

You can duplicate the monthly My Photo Stream Event by creating a smart album in Photos
with the following criteria:
This is the closest we can get to the monthly events as now we only have Moments which are on a per day basis.

Sorting in iPhoto with many event

Hi All.
I'm in the thick of trying to sort thousands of images as I migrate over to mac from a pc.
I have a problem at the moment where I am trying to move images from one event into another event in order to organize everything, but I have so many events that they fill up the screen and iPhoto does not appear to be able to "scroll". It will let me select them and drag them to the top but it won't scroll up to the event that I am hoping to drop them in.
Is there a way to see the list of events in the left hand pane or some other alternate way to do this?
I've collapsed all events but on a 24" monitor if you have everything minimized and the images are set to show at the smallest possible, you have only 18 events showing and I am finding it not possible to drag the images in the event at the bottom up to - say - the event that is just out of view at the top of the list.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help.

In Photos view you can collapse choose View -> Show Event Titles. This will give you the Library in a different way: all of it broken by Event. Click on one of the triangles to collapse it into the title. Option-click on one to open or close them all.
Don't use copy and paste. Drag and drop is a rather more reliable way to move data around. Copy and paste is grand for pieces of text.
Here's a canned answer I use for using iPhoto to organise your pics. In essence, Events are really limited, they are organising for those who can't be bothered. Albums and keywords are the way to go.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 25k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
Keywording takes time to set up, there's no doubt about it. I use Keyword Manager as it's much more powerful than the inbuilt system, and adds the possibility of nested keywords. So, for instance, if I add John to a photo it also adds 'Family'. Now I can add many keywords to a pic quickly.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

How can I stop iPhoto from showing Events?

HI Folks,
I've used iPhoto for a long time, and I am just completely frustrated at the existence of "Events."
Every single time I take a photo and import it, I get a new event.
Even worse, I have hundreds of unnamed "Events" because that method of organizing my photos makes no sense at all.
When I import, there are generally multiple "events" documented in one import.
Now I have to spend hours breaking up Events into smaller "Events" just to have it makes sense.
Not very useful.
The worst usability offense with Events, is that iPhoto defaults to displaying the Events page when it opens.
Apple...I don't EVER want to see my photos organized by Events. EVER.
MY questions:
1. Please please tell me how I can remove the Events page completely.
2. If that is not possible, please tell me how I can tell iPhoto to default to showing me the Photos page, NOT the Events page.
3. Also, how can I view my photos on the Photos page without being broken up into events? (Without losing metadata like the date)
Thanks,
-The Craw, former Apple Technical Writer Guy

A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
Make sure show event titles is off
and you can merge or split events to make them more useful - you can not "turn them off" since they are just one of several optional views of your photos

Showing dates in Projects view like iPhoto does in Events view

Hello, I recently imported my iPhoto library into Aperture and am overall pleased with all that Aperture has to offer. However, there are a couple things that are really frustrating to me that I miss in iPhoto.
For instance, in iPhoto when I scroll through Events by dragging the little scrubber bar on the far left of the screen, an overlay appears in the middle of the screen that tells me what the date is of the Event that is in the middle of the screen. When I do the same thing in the Projects view in Aperture, I get no such helpful overlay. Is there a way to turn this feature on? I know it sounds like a small thing, but it is very useful when browsing for particular photos.
Thanks for your help!

I'm not familiar with iPhoto, but in Aperture you have quite a few options to sort and view your projects by date, folders, etc.
Here's a screenshot in which I marked the sorting options field: http://skitch.com/pbmbuss/rk4td/aperture-3-projects-sorting
Hope it helps!

Iphoto imported into events out of order

I did not state the problem very well the first time. My pictures I just imported, showed up at the bottom with the correct dates when I viewed them as "photos" under Library on the left; but when I choose to view Events; they show up with among other events from 2010 or 2009. WHY? This has happened with several imports in the last 2 weeks. All dates of photos are correct, but Iphoto places them among events created 2 or 3 years ago.

See my answer ot your duplicate post -- while viewing events ==> view menu ==> sort events
