Iphoto not storing photos in Last 2 month folder

Since I upgraded to Os X 10.8 when I download photos from camera, iphoto is putting the picture in the Last import folder but if you
download again from the camera a new pictures the previous one do not appear anymore in the Last 2 months folder.( but they are indeed in the Photo folder.)
Why? Basically my Last 2 Months folder has only pictures before the upgrade to OS X.
Any thoughts?

iPhoto 09?
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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Iphoto not storing photos from CD

Importing photos into Iphoto from a CD or external hard drive only points to that destination. Remove the hard drive or CD and you can see the preview but if you try to open it, it looks for the file. Under preferences I have "copy items to the Iphoto library" checked.
Strangely enough, when I import from digital camera or Iphone, it saves the full image on my hard drive.
Thoughts?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened? Don't know what to do. How can I get pictures back in my albums?

I put all my photos int albums. Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them. When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone. What happened? All of my pictures gone? I need help...

Hi saginrsf,
Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

IPhoto Last 12 Months folder

Running iPhoto 9.5.1. Mavericks 10.9.4. Wondering: what happens to photos in the Last 12 Months folder, which have not been sorted into other albums, after 12 months..? - particularly as I've been adding more photos, so the 12 month date keeps advancing. Do they simply remain, even though they were added more than 12 months ago?
For example: my current Last 12 months folder contains images from Sept 2013 to Sep 2014. Many of these pics haven't been organized into other folders. When I begin to add photos from Oct 2014, what happens to the images from Sept 2013...which will be more than 12 months ago?
tia

Wondering: what happens to photos in the Last 12 Months folder, which have not been sorted into other albums, after 12 months..? -
Nothing happens to them. The last twelve months album is just a window, showing you a current selection of your photos. You can access all photos in your library either from the Photos view or from the "events" view. Each photo is a member of one of the events.
You can define your own "last xxx month" albums with a different date range by defining a smart album from the File menu.
Format the date according to the date format in your region settings.

Last twelve Months Folder not updating

When I import photos into iPhoto, not all the photos will go into the Last Twelve Months folder. Some do some don't. They're all from the same camera. Seems like if I import a photo it should go directly into the folder, after all it's a Smart Folder.
I did a search on the Forum because I thought I read at some point there's an issue with Last twelve Months if Photo Stream is enabled. Nothing came up in the search though.

Joe:
If the problem comes back you may have to try deleting the iPhoto preference file and see if that fixes it permanently.

Iphoto not allowing photos to download on iOS4?

iphoto not allowing photos to download on iOS4?
since upgrading no photos are reading ... just locks and wont read any shots as i try and view on iphoto

All photos taken since i upgraded to iOS4 on my iphone 3Gs are not showing up when connecting to photo, plus i recently upgraded iphoto to 8.1.2.
The message was that 'one shot must be damaged or corrupted' etc etc
So from what you are saying, you may or may not have some corrupt photos on your camera roll in your iPhone and when you try to import them into iPhoto, you are given a message that there is one or more corrupt photos on the iPhone. Is that correct?
Mysteriously though - today it works?
But today when you tried it again, it worked and all photos downloaded.
Is that correct?
I did try and reload an older version of my iphoto back on....
but not sure what happened...
What did you try to load the older version of iPhoto on to? iPhoto 09 is all part of iLife 09. I am not sure, but I doubt the Mac will let you remove one part of the package and replace it with an earlier version EG iPhoto 08.
Make sure that you have all the latest versions of software on your computer.
On you mac, got to the Software Update menu option under the apple logo drop down menu.
It will scan your computer verses the apple updates available and give you a list of all updates available for your computer.
Based on the info you have supplied so far, you should have;
OSX 10.5.8
iPhoto 8.1.2
iTunes 9.2.1
If you have corrupt images on your phone, it is very possible that iphoto could have issues with importing the photos.
Open Image Capture on your Mac, you will find it in the Applications folder and connect your iPhone. this will show you the photos that you currently have, it shows a small thumbnail of the picture, the file Name, Date taken, etc.
If there are any corrupt photos on the iphone, you will not see the thumbnail of the photo, you will just see an icon saying jpeg or something similar.
If you have any of these, delete them using Image Capture.
Eject your iphone from Image Capture, unplug the iPhone and close Image Capture.
On the iPhone, open the Photos App and now make sure that you can see your photos.
Once you are happy that you can, plug the phone back into your Mac and import them into iPhoto as you normally would.
Hope this helps.

I have lost pictures in my albums. Only some. I deleted same photos from last 18 months because they were duplicates. Did this make the pictures disappear from yhe albums?

I have lost the pictures in most of my albums. After I creatd the albums, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them. Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased? My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not. Help

Was that in iPhoto on your Mac or on your iPad?
, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.
Then, sorry to say, you will have deleted the photos from your iPhoto library.
Have you checked iPhoto's Trash and the Trash on your Desktop, if the photos are still there? Then put them back from iPhoto's Trash or move them back from the trash basket on your Desktop.
Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?
Albums do not store photos or duplicate photos - they are a way to group photos that are stored in events, just an index, showing you a subset of the photos in the library. A photo can be used in many albums, without needing more storage. When you delete a photo from its event, it will be removed from all albums, and all other views of the iPhoto library. Never delete a phot from its event, unless you want to remove it completely from your iPhoto library. A photo is only a duplicate, unless you have imported the same file twice and you see the copy in an event.
iPhoto has several views, that may show you the same photos in different groupings, for easy access, but do not contain duplicates.
If you cannot retrieve your photos from the Trashs, restore your iPhoto Library from the last backup, that contains all photos. If there is no recent backup, you may want to try recovery software - then stop using your mac and don't do anything that writes to your harddisk, until you recovered, what is still on your disk.
For example,
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
usually makes a very good job of finding any jpegs, that still can be found on the harddrive.
My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not.
I don't understand, why you mention the iPad? Have you synced your photos to your iPad and are there still copies of them in your albums on the iPad?

IPhoto not showing photos in Modified folder

I have an issue uploading photos into facebook. I use iPhoto to manage all of my photos on my iMac, and I created different albums to organize photos. When I try to upload some photos into my facebook, only the photos in Original folders show up in the albums, and the ones in Modified folders are missing. When I open album directly in iPhoto, all the photos are there. This happens both in Safari and Chrome. Is there a way to fix this so that I can see all of my photos when I access iPhoto albums from the browser?

IPhoto not getting photos from Sony Cybershot

I have a Sony Cybershot, maybe about a year or two old, and I am now having trouble downloading photos from it onto my Macbook.
When I used to connect the Cybershot via the USB, it would bring up a volume called NONAME, which would also show up in iPhoto. I could then download my photos from there. I tried several times to rename NONAME with a name that would indicate it was the camera, but was never able to.
A few months ago, TWO volumes called NONAME started showing up when I connected the camera. But they would both show up in iPhoto and I would just figure out which one was actually the camera, and get the pictures off it.
Now when I connect the Cybershot via the USB port, I get three volumes showing up on my desktop:
1. PMHOME, which says it is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT16), Capacity 22 MB, Available 21.6 MB, Used 315,392 bytes
2. NO NAME, formatted MS-DOS (FAT12), Capacity 51.1 MB, Available 51 MB, Used 131,072 bytes
3. NO NAME, formatted MS-DOS (FAT32), Capacity 31.68 GB, Available 31.48 GB, Used 199,426,048 bytes
The last one must be the camera, but I don't understand what the other two are.
Once the camera is connected, the Cybershot gives me the screen saying it is connecting via USB, and then a screen saying 'Power feed with the USB disconnected.' If I click Okay on that screen, the Cybershot will show me the pictures on my camera, and suddenly all three volumes will disappear from my desktop, and I get a message saying "Disk not ejected properly" on my desktop. During this time iPhoto will not have opened automatically; if I open it manually, it does not detect the presence of the camera. Nothing shows up under "devices."
Any advice on what on earth is going on and how to fix it? Thank you.

I guess I am not explaining myself well - although it seems pretty simple and straight forward
Your only choice is to reformat the card - this erases the contents so if you want the photos that are on it you have to get them off first - the options to do that are
Use image capture (in your aplications folder)
or use a card reader
or use the finder ( most Sony cameras mount to the finder an you can just drag photos off of them)
Or another computer
The other computer does not have to be at your house or even a Mac - it can be a PC or at an Apple store or at a friends house - but if you want the photos then you must get them somehow
and then you must reformat the card

IPhoto not displaying photos

First off, I am no expert (thats why I am here) but I have been using Macs and iPhoto for some time. I am on an iMac i5 / OSX 10.7.2 / iPhoto 11
After upgrading to Lion, my iPhoto doesn't display all of my photos. In fact, it only displays a small portion of them. Let me break down my observations and what I have tried:
- Many months worth of pics not displayed in the open application
-Pics ARE present in the "contents" of the iPhoto package. They are organized of course in the crazy folder system but eventually I was able to track them down. But iPhoto doesn't display them when open. Many events missing.
-All albums show up empty now because the likely contained photos from the missing events
-I figure something is corrupted so I did a rebuild with apple/option and openning iPhoto. This took forever and in the end it was the same. I believe I clicked all the options when doing so.
-I have searched high and low for the iPhoto plist. I know it sounds crazy but I can't find it anywhere (not in user/library/preference/... lots of other plists there but not for iPhoto). Supposedly it has to exist if I have ever openned iphoto, but I don't know where else to look.
My end goal is to display all the pics and keep them in their appropriate events. Not overly concerned about albums or titles or other info.
I am even willing to just start from scratch with a totally new iPhoto library if that will fix my problem and if things will be put into the current events by date. But I am not sure what the best way to do that would be.
I have read the forums carefully and can't seem to find the solution. Any and all sugestions welcome.
Thanks.
Nick

I will get that for you soon... I am currently importing photos into a brand new iPhoto since I wasn't having luck with the rebuild. Only 12k more to go... It won't let me recreate the error while importing in iPhoto.
As I mentioned above, I created one new library, but didn't like that it put everything into just two events. I deleted the whole thing in hopes that I could get something else to work. In the end I am back to creating a new library and then plan to ask iPhoto to split the events (didn't see that option the first time around). A lot of extra work.
I would like to know what you think about the error it was giving me. As I mentioned at the beginning, I have been unable to find the iPhoto plist anywhere. I looked everywhere it is supposed to be and have had zero luck. I understand that that seems almost impossible, but its true. This might have something to do with the plist error I recieved.
Also, when using iLM, the option to create a new library gives me a sort of skeleton of my other, corrupted library. It lists all the albums and even has the events labeled and dated but there is no content anywhere, not even thumbnails, just the default gray palm tree of an empty event. Not sure what to make of that.
I'll post the error when I can if it doesn't get to late. ( I live in Spain so I'm at least 6 hours ahead of the states!)

IPhoto not importing photos

Good evening-
Backstory: I installed a ssd into my macpro. I have an internal raid card where my old iphoto library has been stored. I copied and pasted the original files from within the iPhoto Library files and tried to reimport those files into iPhoto. The problem is that iPhoto says that the file format is wrong (all video files are from our iPhones. When I click the video file on its own, it opens up in QuickTime and plays with no problems.
I have spoken with Apple on a couple occasions and nothing seemed to work. I tried creating a new library and reimporting everything in. I have tried importing 5 years worth of files (well over 20k files) in at one time and I have tried to chunk the process by importing individual years... then I have tried to import individual files. There does not appear to be a rhyme or reason as to which movie files are rejected and some are accepted.
Any advice, please?
Thanks!
Blessings,
Donny

Rather than trying to copy and paste - and that can go badly wrong depending on exactly what you're copying and where you're pasting to - why not try a simple repair of the Library.
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. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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 iPhoto 08 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 not showing photos

Hi,
When I go into iPhoto and click on the photos in my library, nothing appears. I can see the thumbnail but when I click on the photo, it just appears blank. Do I need to download all my photos again to have them appear in the Library? Have I lost all my photos completley? I'm new to Macs and I must have done something wrong but I'm not sure how to solve my problem. Thanks.

megsav,
iPhoto imports all the images into it's own database which is the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. It also keeps track of where all the images are, their file names, albums, slideshows, etc. in it's data files. there for everything such as deleting photos, renaming (titles) have to be done within iPhoto so it can keep track of the changes. If you rename or delete anything in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder, iPhoto will have no way of knowing what you did.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
You said that you can's open any of your images in the edit mode. This would mean you did more than just rename and delete some photos in that folder in the Finder.
I suggest you create a new library and import the images from the old library.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and choose it.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!
Here is more info for you so you can better understand how iPhoto works.
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
--All images that you import are sown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures.
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
