Iphoto only imports some ical dates when making a calendar

I am using Iphoto 11, on snow leopard, attempting to create a calendar populated with dates from ical. some dates show up, but many don't. there doesn't appear to be a pattern in terms of which dates appear and which don't. I have seens some posts that suggest dates with multiple events won't work, but this isn't the pattern i have seen. i have some dates with mulitple events that are imported and some that aren't. it also does seem to hit a date and stop, the missing dates are all throughout the year.
Anyone encounter anything like this before? Any work arounds?
Gosh I hate buggy software. #$&!@2

through additional experimentation, here is what i learned.
when i created the calendar, i told iphoto i wanted to display american holidays and a calendar from ical.
If i unselect the show holidays options, my dates import correctly. with holiday selected i get some dates from ical, but only to the extent they don't over lap with holidays.
once i noticed this pattern, i went back and forth and sure enough if you have an event from ical on say chirtmas day, it won't be imported into your calendar.
I didn't seem to matter which order the events were added to the calendar ... holidays first or ical calendar dates first.
Finally, i created an ical calendar with the holidays i wanted displayed, then in iphoto told it not to include holidays, but to display both ical calendars. That had the same issue. on date where you have events on both calendars, only one set of dates will appear in iphoto.
so to conclude building a calendar in iphoto you can not include dates from mulitple ical calendars without conflict.
i stopped short of merging calendars in ical, but i guess that's next.
Not to be too critical here, but that sounds like bug someone at apple might be able to fix.
Perhaps some of the developers you have building weekly updates to itunes and put them to work cleaning up this kind of mess.
Hope this helps others with the same problem.
regards.

Why did finder change some modification dates when making a copy?

I just copied a very large number of files using Finder and I discovered that some modification dates were changed. For me this wasn't a problem, but it's strange and I don't understand why it happened. I wonder if anyone else has seen a similar behavior. Here are the details:
I have a Mac Pro running under OSX 10.7.4 with 15 GB of RAM and 7 hard disks. The disks details are as follows:
Internal 1 is 500 GB and came with the computer. It is my boot drive and has a variety of material. It's about 75% full.
Internal 2 is 1 TB. It has OSX 10.6.8 on it for use as a repair disk if I need to run TechTools against my main drive or if I need to run SpringCleaning. It is about 85% full and contains mainly videos of one type or another.
Internal 3 is 2 TB. It is 98% full and contains mostly .jpg files. This drive has a single root folder with 3-4 levels of subfolders. Some subfolders have as many as 5000 folders in them. The bottom level folders each have anywhere from 20 to 300 files.
Internal 4 is 3 TB. It was purchased last week because drives 2 and 3 are getting full. My intent is to copy drive 3 to 4, then copy the data from 2 to 3. I'll probably retire 2 since my SMART checks are showing problems.
External 1 is 3 TB and is used only for Time Machine to backup internal 1.
External 2 is 4 TB and is used to backup Internal 2 and 3 using ChronoSync. I'll be changing this to 3 and 4 soon.
4 days ago I installed drive 4 and used Finder to copy the root folder from drive 3 to 4. That took about a day. I then ran ChronoSync in Trial Sync mode to see if everything was OK. (Perhaps I shold have used ChronSync to make the transfer.) I discovered that about 8,000 files had discrepancies. I wrote a simple AppleScript to identify any meta data differences between the files on the two drives. It's been running for about 12 hours and I suspect it will take more than a day to finish. So far all that script has found are modification date differences. I've examined about a dozen of the files and they look OK.
Anyone seen anything like this? Any ideas what happened? I have three user accounts on this Mac Pro. The copy was made in one account with nothing else running, but I was doing a variety of work in another account. The third account was not active.
I just did a better search of this forum and discovered a similar case from 2010.

I just found the following in another thread:
Actually yes. In my case it was my antivirus McAfee doing it. If I copied the files after disabling it, the file dates were preserved.
BTW if only few files are copied, this problem does not arise.
YMMV.

Since I have McAfee installed on my Mac Pro I suspect that was the cause.

When importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed.

when importing files into fcpx from go pro hero2, some are importing as .mov and some as .mp4. when making a multi cam clip it will only add one type, if you try and add the other it says camera clip cannot be processed. need to figure out why it randomly imports differently, or how to add different file tyoes to multi cam.

here is one that is imported and stays .mp4. the specs are same as original file before import.
here is one that has changed somehow during import. specs on original file are same as above, but once it is imported it changes to this in event folder, and others randomly keep the above specs.

my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
Actually you’re not.
The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
You can run a Library on an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad?

Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad? Is it possible to go all the way back to 2001? IOS 10.2, old iPd...

iPhoto only imports from the Camera roll.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Re: Why when making a slideshow in iphoto,then going to share idvd,when making dvd i keep getting multiplex error

Hi
There are so many things that can give - multiplex error
Two very common ones
• Using letters other than A to Z or 0 to 9 eg. / # ; etc. in texts, titles, buttons or alike's.
• Turn on TV-Safe area in iDVD and secure that no text or object goes past this or even touching it.

My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

Details please
What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
my iphoto only shows only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -- and -- http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html ---
I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

Only imports audio, no video when using DSLR .mov files

I just upgraded to CS6 on my Mac Lion. I created a project using the DSLR settings and tried to import a .mov video clip taken from my Canon 5D camera. Strange thing is it only imported the audio and not the video. I tried many of clips and just audio.
As tests, I tried importing a .mpeg clip from an HDV camcorder and it worked fine. I also changed the extension of the DSLR clip to .mpeg and it still didn't work. The DSLR clips imported fine in CS4, but not CS6. Also as another test, I tried importing on a different Mac computer using Premiere Pro CS6 (from creative cloud) and it imported perfectly. So I'm not sure why it's doing it on my computer? The files open fine in QuickTime.
The only thing that worked was I exported the .Mov files from the DSLR to a HDV .Mov file and it DID import correctly. I don't want to have to go through that step everytime though (or loss the quality)
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

I too am having this problem. The video I am trying to import is a .MOV file from a Canon 5D Mark III. When I check the properties of the file in Premiere Pro 5.5, this is what it says:
File Path: S:\Photos\5D mark 3\Video\0F2A0089
Type: QuickTime Movie
File Size: 55.7 MB
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:15:07124
Average Data Rate: 3.7 MB / second
QuickTime Details:
Movie contains 1 video track(s), 1 audio track(s) and 1 timecode track(s).
Video:
There are 453 frames with a duration of 1/29.97th.
Video track 1:
Duration is 454
Average frame rate is 29.91 fps
Video track 1 contains 1 type(s) of video data:
Video data block #1:
Frame Size = 1920 x 1080
Compressor =
Quality = Least (1.00)
Audio:
Audio track 1 contains 1 type(s) of audio data:
Audio data block #1:
Format = 16 bit - Stereo

Compressor = sowt
Timecode:
Timecode track 1 contains 1 type(s) of data:
Timecode data block #1:
Start Time = 00;00;39;04
Reel name =
As you can see PP 5.5 notices the video; it even tells me the # of frames in the video but it won't display it. It might be worth saying the video files from my Canon XF100 work just fine. This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be very much appreciated.

HT4906 iPhoto only downloaded some of my photos from photo stream

I have over 200 photos on photo stream but when I set up iPhoto only 51 of them downloaded. I thought perhaps only the more recent photos may have been downloaded but it's a mix of old and new. How can I get all photos from photo stream onto iPhoto and is iPhoto the best way to store photos on a MacBook Pro?

Your photos stream on iCLoud contains the last 1000 photos or the last 30 days photos - on any device you will see local photos up to 1000 but only 1000 or the last 30 days (which ever is smaller) are available for other devices through iCloud

Why does iPhoto only import digital photo files at one-half or less of the original jpg file size?

My 24" 2008 iMac, running 10.5.8 and iPhoto '08 (300 GB harddrive, 67 GB avail, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MH sdram), only imports my digital photo images directly from the camera at about 1/2 or less of the original file size. I thought it might be my 12.2 mgp. Samsung camera, until I just a 14 mpg. Lumix, and its doing the same thing. A 5 mg. images imports at around 2.4 mgs... a 14 mg image imports under 6... Its always done this, but until I bought the new camera, I assumed it was my peripheral issue.

Hi, I wonder if it's just maybe compressing them, highlight one in iPhoto & click on the little i icon for info, what is the size in Pixels compared to the original?

Only static sustained beep sound when making calls!

Over the past few hours I have noticed when I make a call on my iphone4s (iOs5.1.1, I have not recently updated!) I can hear the person I am calling for about 2 -5 seconds and then nothing OR just static sound and nothing from the person I am calling.
I can send and recieve texts (over 3g Telstra network)
I can send and receive imessage
I can send and receive FaceTime (wifi)
I can listen to songs and videos online and on my phone
I can record my voice handsfree and using headphones
I can not talk to anyone when making or receiving a call! Static or nothing!
I have full reception
I am with Telstra Australia
Any ideas?

Sounds like you have activated mute button, within a call there should be an option to unmute. The top left-hand button with a microphone does it have a / or a \ through it if so just tap it again & your voice will be heard again.
The other possibility is that you've put calls on hold.

ICal hangs when exporting a calendar

When attempting to export a calendar (as a backup), it causes iCal to hang, and I have to Force Quit. The calendar is ~9.5 Megs in size. I have run Disk Utility.
I am using iCal version 5.0.3.
The last backup that was successful was on 9/21/2012 (I back up every week). Because I have added events and reminders since then, I don't want to restore that file but would like to see if there is a way ro "fix" the hangup so that I can get a good calendar export.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

through additional experimentation, here is what i learned.
when i created the calendar, i told iphoto i wanted to display american holidays and a calendar from ical.
