Iphoto organizing???

In my photos section, my pictures are separated by the Month/Year, but all in one big mess of pictures. I can no longer visibly see the Month/Year?? How do I get that back on?!  I want to see "July 2013" then those pictures under it again.  

No idea - what exactly are you talking about? And for what version of iPhoto? and of the OS?
As a wild guess Maybe you need to go under the view menu and check show event titles?

  • IPhoto Organizing and sending attachements

    I am confused as to how iphoto is organizing my pics. Everything looks perfect on my main screen, but when i try to attach photos in my email i have to go through several screens that i dont understand and then get to iphoto library>data>2006> then all my film rolls (not folders) so what then is the point of folders?
    Also when i go this way i see pictures that i have deleted from iphoto showing up in this window when they should be deleted....
    So does anyone know how to fix this way this all looks and acts when i am trying to attach photos to email?
    Thanks for your help!

    From your original question, it looks like you're looking in your data folder for images. Your Data folder only contains thumbnails of your images, so if you upload those to Shutterfly you're going to get pixelated prints.
    If you're uploading to a service, the fail-safe way to do it is to Export. Select the album or the photos, then choose Export from the File menu, and export to a new empty folder on the desktop (or anywhere).
    Or, create a folder on your desktop or somewhere, and select the photos (within iPhoto) and simply drag to that folder. Then continue:
    Lead the dialog box (for uploading to Shutterfly) to this created folder to upload.
    The folders in the left margin are not as pointless, from iPhoto's standpoint. They allow you to have collections that overlap or are sub/supersets of one another, as well as smart albums that pick out their content based on your specified criteria. If they represented physical folders, there would be a lot of duplication and other problems with organizing photos.
    Here's a good example: Have a smart album look for five star ratings, go through your library and rate your pictures. The smart album will have the ones with five stars automatically. That way you can select all those photos and place it in a folder to upload to Shutterfly or whatever service.
    iPhoto's organization works great for their own services, since you can do everything within iPhoto. I've seen better deals for photos, and cards, but their books and calendars are unmatched in quality, and very competitive in price.

  • IPhoto Organizing Unreadable files

    Well i have been uploading all my pictures into iPhoto and organizing them through there. Deleting the ones i dont like, and puttin them into certain albums. Well I realized that deleting the file on iPhoto doesnt actually delete the real file so i went into my photo library on my hardrive to organize and put them into individual folders from there. After i did that i wanted to upload all the pictures back into iPhoto but when i go to add to library it gives me the unreadable message. The photo type is jpeg, is there anyway i can get my pictures back into iPhoto?

    Hi Honkmafia,
    I just want you to read these two links before you do that again.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Also, after you delete images in iPhoto, you have to empty iPhoto trash for them to be deleted from the hard drive.
    iPhoto>empty trash in the menu bar or go to the trash bin at the bottom of the source column, click and hold on it and scroll to empty trash.

  • Help! Lost all iPhoto organized photos

    HELP!!!   I have iPhoto version 9.6 on a MacBook Pro (Late 2012) running on OS Yosemite version 10.10.2. 
    I have been organizing my photo events in iPhoto.  After completing the task, I left my computer for a few minutes and now all the photo events and names are not organized. There are fewer photos showing now  and all the organized events now appear as one big event.  Ugh!!!! Is there a way to recover all that work?  I'm at a loss.

    Where did you cut from?  The Finder for from within iPhoto?  If it was from the Finder you've damaged the library.  If from within iPhoto apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    To copy your Photos easily to the Desktop in the same order as they are in Events use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the settings shown in this screenshot:
    Then drag the folders to the EHB drive.

  • IPhoto organizing/help viewer

    Organizing by date seems inoperable in Faces - how do you use it?
    Also, iPhoto Help says it's unable to open that content under the help viewer. I've repaired permissions as suggested in another post to no avail. Any other ideas?

    This is strange. Let's make sure I'm on the same page as you are. I click on a face in the Faces window (w/cork board) and bring up all of the faces for that single person that's when I can see and use the sort by date or any other option. The window I'm has a button at the top titles "All Faces". Are we on the same page? I've been off on a tangent before.
    This is what I'm referring to-in the faces window for one person:

  • Adobe Album versus iphoto organizing

    I may be crazy, but I cannot figure this out...I have been using Photoshop Album on my PC. In Album, you can view/sort your photos by the folder they are in - meaning, when I uploaded my images to my PC using my Canon camera software, it put the images into folders based on the date the images were taken. So even if I took only one image on one day, that image would be in a seperate folder in "My Documents" and I could see that folder and that image on the Adobe Album viewer.
    With iphoto, when I upload my images using my CF card, the images get put into an iphoto roll which is dated the date I uploaded the photos. So even if I have photos taken on from the 1st to the 12th, and upload them on the 14th, all the images are put in a roll titled "14th".
    Is there a way to view my images based on the date I took those images - seperated by "folders" - i.e. not all batched together in the library view? Can I view my photos like they are sorted in the Finder - if you look in Pictures-iphoto library-2006-01...the folders listed are by the day the images were taken. Can I get this type of view in iphoto?? Am I making myself clear here??
    Thanks!

    Lightroom has no awareness of the existence of iPhoto. There is no way that it can recognise the iPhoto Library or any of the work you have done in it - albums, keywords etc. To move files or photos between the two you will need to export from one and import to the other.
    Aperture recognises the iPhoto Library and there is a command there to facilitate migration from iPhoto to Aperture. This process captures your Events, Albums, keywords and so forth.
    Also, with the Aperture -> Show iPhoto Library command you can import individual photos over to Aperture.
    From iPhoto the Show Aperture Library command means you can access the Previews in your Aperture Library.
    At heart, these three applications do the same job. Aperture and Lightroom are firmly focussed on the Pro user shooting high volumes of RAW. They both offer distinct advantages over iPhoto in processing RAW, no matter what the volume.
    What iPhoto can offer both of these are - very simple books, calendars and so on and much better slideshows options.

  • Iphoto - organizing Pictures into albums

    In iphoto, I drag photos to an album and it bounces back.  Album won't take it, like its full.  I've been doing it all night and all of a sudden I cant add anymore. Any help

    Album won't take it, like its full.  I've been doing it all night and all of a sudden I cant add anymore.
    Can you drag photos to albums, if you open a different iPhoto library? Try to create a new library, import a few photos, create an album. Can you add photos to this album?
    If yes, try, if repairing your iPhoto library will help. Hold down the keys ⎇⌘, while launching iPhoto and keep holding them down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel:
    Try all First Aid options in turn.  Before rebuilding, make sure you have a working backup.

  • New to iPhoto-organizing photos?

    Transferring years worth of photos from my PC. I had everything filed by year with subfolders. Can I do that with iPhotos?

    VAnovice:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you import a folder of photos a "roll" will be created with that folder's name. The date on the folder will probably be the latest modified date of any file in the folder or, if all from a digital camera, maybe the latest Created Date. You can always edit the roll date in iPhoto to whatever you want. The iPhoto library will create the following folders:
    Originals, Data (thumbnail files) and Modified (any files you've edited in iPhoto or any portrait oriented files taken with a camera with the auto-rotate feature). The overall iPhoto Library folder will look like this
    Each will contain subfolders with the same name as the roll that the files are in. So if your subfolders for each year has a date in the title it will show up in the roll name. I use this naming scheme for folder identification.
    If the subfolders do not have a date on them you might want to add a date to the folder name before importing. A little effort up front might save a lot later on.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

  • Reverting an alias based Library to an iPhoto organized one.

    Hi,
    When I installed iPhoto 6, I opted to keep my photo directory separate (Read: unchecked "Copy Files to iPhoto Library folder" option). I soon realized that I couldn't manage the files from within iPhoto anymore (e.g. can't completely remove pictures).
    Now I want to revert my library and start letting iPhoto organize the files. I wasn't able to see such an option in iPhoto (the preference I mentioned above only applies to new files, not existing ones). I have around 10,000 pictures with several layers of hierarchy, so a manual solution isn't an option. I don't want to lose other information in my library (ratings, albums and other metadata) so I can't start a new library either.
    I know that modifying files from Finder is a "no-no", but I cannot see any other options. So, I wanted to write a script that will go through the iPhoto Library/Originals folder and replace each alias with the original file (after a full back-up of course).
    I tried this with a single file, but wasn't able to move the file (see below script). If this works, I can do the same for all files under the Originals folder.
    try
    set this_file to choose file
    set this_folder to the folder of this_item
    tell application "Finder"
    set orig_item to the original item of this_item
    move orig_item to this_folder with replacing
    end tell
    end try
    Unfortunately, this did not replace the file as I intended.
    Any ideas/suggestions?

    Hi eatalay,
    Here's an example of a recursive subroutine that replaces all alias files, in a passed folder path, with their originals.
    set f to choose folder
    ProcessAlias(f as string)
    -- replacess all alias files in the passed folder path (string)
    on ProcessAlias(this_folder)
    -- get list of folders in this_folder
    set utid to AppleScript's text item delimiters -- store old delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
    tell application "Finder"
    set folder_listing to every folder of folder this_folder as string
    end tell
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to utid -- restore old delimiters
    if folder_listing is "" then
    set folder_list to {}
    else
    set folder_list to paragraphs of folder_listing
    end if
    -- process folder_list
    repeat with sub_folder in folder_list
    ProcessAlias(sub_folder) -- send each folder back to this subroutine
    end repeat
    -- get list of alias files and process them
    tell application "Finder"
    set alias_files to every file of folder this_folder whose kind is "Alias"
    repeat with this_alias in alias_files
    try -- error if broken alias
    set orig_item to original item of this_alias
    set item_dest to container of this_alias
    move orig_item to item_dest with replacing
    end try
    end repeat
    end tell
    return -- you can return a listing of moved originals if you want
    end ProcessAlias
    I didn't test for broken aliai yet, but it looks ok. I just thought of something. You might want to keep a list of broken alias files and return it from the subroutine. You can then delete the broken alias or fix them.

  • Organizing photos in Iphoto is a big pain and

    Does anyone have issues with getting IPHOTO organized?  I upgraded to the version 11 from the 08 because I thought that there would be some additional features related to the way that photos and events could be handled.  I was very dissappointed to find out that there is absolutely no improvements or changes to the way that photos and events could be organized.  First of all, who in the heck has time to name, rate, assign keywords etc.. to their photos upon import from camera. It is very difficut to find photos with Iphoto.  I have a huge amount of photos.  If I view photos instead of view events, how in the heck am I to drag photos from one event to another? I have so many photos that if I leave all of the photos expanded then you have to scroll to much up or down while trying to hang on to the photo long enough to get it where you want it. If you collapse the photos, then you cannot see them.
    If you create albums and try to drag photos from existing events to the new albums, it makes no sense to have to go back and delete the photo from the place that you dragged it from.  At least I think this is how it is.  I may have thought it was like this and the found out that when i did go back to delete the orginal destination location, that it also deleted it in the new album. 
    I see where a couple of features were added to the photo editing features between the two versions, but not worth upgrading and paying the extra cost. 
    If it is easier than what I seem to be making it, it is because the Iphoto help has not improved either.  It is still very basic and very vague as before.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If you create albums and try to drag photos from existing events to the new albums, it makes no sense to have to go back and delete the photo from the place that you dragged it from.  At least I think this is how it is.
    You'd be wrong.  There's only one real imge file in iPhoto and that's located in the Event.  All other occurances of that photo, albums, books, calendars, etc. are only virtual links to the actual file in the Event. 
    Albums let you group photos togeher regardless of when they were taken and what event they are in.  Keywords can be applied all photos in an event by bringing fierst opening the event, bringing up the Keyword pane
    Click to view full size
    selecting the first photo, clicking on the keyword you want to assign, move to the next photo with the right arrow key on the keyboard, clicking on the next keyword, etc.  Takes only a minute or so.  You first have to create the keywords you want to use, people's names, places, etc.
    Then you can just search by keyword, create a Smart album to look for one or more keywords, etc.
    iPhoto is a database driven DAM (digital asset management) application so you should learn to use it properly.  A little upfront effort can save a lot of time later on. And this is how it's been for most of the version of iPhoto.

  • What's is the best way to use iPhoto? I need to understand.

    What's is the best way to use iPhoto? I need to understand.
    I guess the iPhoto is only for people with 5,000 of personal photos.
    Or even 200,000, but they can't use this app everyday.
    I'm not talk about working as a photographer. They use Aperture.
    They may use iPhoto like a family album that you take a look sometimes.
    And don't care about putting photos from the camera or from internet everyday.
    I have tons of music and I love iTunes 8, works great. So I tried but I can't stand iPhoto anymore.
    I have over 173,000 photos. My goal is organize, have total control, crop in Preview and delete them fast as I can.
    The iPhoto is too slow. And is not only about performance, more RAM... but the whole concept.
    Finder is much better/richer/flexible to organize than iPhoto.
    I'm not talking about the photographer workflow.
    And I'm not talking about editing and all these great photo features, the search, and all the iLife environment. They are amazing.
    When I'm iPhoto, I feel like a prisioner.
    I can't open an album/folder/event alone just to take a look, without do lanch the iPhoto app with the all thousand photos together. And it's slow.
    I can't use Quick Look there.
    So, I'll use Finder for manage/crop/etc. But what's the best way to use iPhoto in my case? Put the best/key ones there to use in iLife/MobileMe? To do a more serious editing? I like the features: keywords/ratings/hidden photos/events... It would be cool this features in Finder.
    For example:
    iMovie: Manage movies? NO. It's editng only.
    iTunes: Manage music/small video/podcast...? OK. Editing the song? OK for tags/convert/artwork/equalizer... For music there's a GarageBand of course.
    iPhoto: Manage photos? Yes and No.
    I think Finder would kill iPhoto incoporating all the editing features in Preview and the rich manage in Finder.
    Jobs said that no one care about iDVD anymore. They care about the web.
    Using iMovie to export to MobileMe.
    Maybe iPhoto become less important in a near future. With a better Finder+Preview Right?
    Sorry for this long text with a short question.
    Thanks.

    Your post demonstrates exactly why I keep saying that iPhoto is not the application for you.
    It would be better an iPhoto organizing photos by words like when iTunes browse his music.
    Why on earth would anyone want to organise photos by words? A list mode is entirely pointless in a Photo application. That's like having an old photo album organised with the photos facing inwards so you can read the back of the picture.
    Again, this is a characteristic of a File browser. You don't want a Photo organiser, you want a file organiser.
    And, in iPhoto, you can search by tags, effortlessly in either the search box or by using a Smart Album.
    iPhoto always loads all that events and all the thumbs library to scroll, and I think it's overkill.
    So, how is iPhoto to know which ones you want to work with today? Open a library, get the Library.
    Would be better a Cover Flow option to browsing in Events.
    You've obviously never tried scrubbing along the Event icon.
    Imagine iTunes using Cover Flow mode all the time. It won't be too useful.
    Many, many people do, including myself on a library of 20k tracks totalling more that 100 gigs, and find it very useful. Same with the Finder.
    And if when iTunes Store starts to sell photos?
    Why on earth would the iTunes store start to sell photos?
    My photos are not junk,
    I didn't say there were. Read my post again.
    When I said Finder to crop photos I mean Preview. But I feel in Finder. Because what's in Preview? A photo opened with a Preview's menubar and some cocoa APIs like adjustments. Not?
    Oh, so you don't count Preview as an application. Fine. It is an application but you don't feel it. As you wish.
    My point to you is very simple: Because of the way you want to organise your pics - using lists views and so on - iPhoto is not the application for you. Don't use it. But you keep writing things about the application that are untrue, and I'm aware that other folks search these forums and I don't want them to have inaccurate information about iPhoto.

  • Why does iPhoto 6 organize as rolls now?

    Hi! I recently imported my iPhoto 5 library to my iPhoto 6. While all of the pictures and everything imported just fine, my organizing is all messed up. Now instead of iPhoto organizing it by date in the files, it organizes it by roll. My iPhoto 5 did not do this and I was just wondering how I could change it. Thanks!

    Hi Cameron,
    This is how iPhoto 6 organizes in the Finder now. Nothing you can do to change it.
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

  • Imported rolls from iPhoto end up as separate projects

    Is there any way to handle this? I imported some iPhoto libraries into Aperture and even though I have the photos in iPhoto organized by album etc., they all came in as separate rolls - I don't want them separate, I want to have them all together =- I will be exporting the project for archival purposes and as it stands now would need to export lots of little projects....any ideas on what can be done?

    Victoria,
    Sorry I wasn't clear about moving pictures - this process (in the thread to which I directed you) works after you have all your pictures in all those "mini-projects" in Aperture.
    When you move the photos from the original (Mini) project, I wanted to make sure you had them all. I was assuming you would do a "Select all" operation.
    If you mark a photo as rejected in Aperture, it disappears from your view - unless you change the default filter. Over in the right, above the thumbnails, you will find a query window. It normally says something like "Unrated and better". That means it shows you any photo that is not rejected. If you want to move every photo from your "mini-projects" to the larger project, you cannot merely do "Select All". That will select all "Unrated and better" photos. Turn off that filter by dropping down the menu and selecting "All photos" (Or something like that), and then "Select all" will really select all photos. Then you can drag and drop them to the new album (According to the referenced thread.

  • Organized pictures an hour ago, and now they're gone

    I'm so confused.
    An hour ago I was going through my photos in iPhoto, organizing them into events. I quit iPhoto and did other stuff.
    Then I reopened iPhoto ... and it told me it couldn't find my Library and asked if I wanted to start a new one. None of my pictures showed up in the Library. I tried Import, thinking maybe I could find the iPhoto library that had my pictures in it, but it wouldn't open the only one I could find, which was called Library.iPhoto.
    I can't find any of my pictures anywhere, not even by searching for them. What happened?

    It sounds like iPhoto lost the link to the iPhoto Library package. It is located in your Pictures folder. If iPhoto make a new library it probably is there also and named iPhoto Library_1. Check the Pictures folder to see if the library is there.
    If it is, check it's size via the Finder to make sure it contains your photos. Then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to Choose Library. Navigate to the Pictures folder and select the library.
    If that still doesn't help, try 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.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo 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. 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.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • IPhoto 6 organization

    I just received iPhoto 6 on a new computer and am confused by the organization. Previously, in the finder window, iPhoto organized by YEAR, MONTH, DATE of the photo taken. I had to upload photos from a back up to iPhoto 6 and it is the same for previous years but for photos taken this year it is being organized as YEAR, FILM ROLL
    Has anyone else seen this? Is it because it was uploaded from a backup copy? Will new photos go back to the same way? It is hard to locate the photos quickly now as I don't know what film roll was for what date. Will I need to go into each film roll and change the name to the date???
    Any help is appreciated!
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    A new file structure was introduced with v6 of iPhoto.
    A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    There is no going back. If you're concerned about finding photos then There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    Rolls in the iPhoto Window correspond exactly with the Roll Folders in the Originals Folder in the iPhoto Library Folder. You can move photos between Rolls, you can rename rolls, edit them, create them, as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Check out the Info Pane (wee 'i', lower left) the name and date fields are editable. Edit a Roll Name using the Info Pane, the Roll Folder in iPhoto Library Folder/Originals will also have the new name.
