IPhoto populated my events with thousands of graphics.

Just downloaded the new iPhoto and it populated my events with thousands of graphics. Now the program crashes!!!

It sounds like your hard drive got accidently dragged onto the iPhoto application in your Dock and imported all of the image files that are on your hard drive.
The optimal solution to that is to restore your backup copy of the library that was made just before this occurred.
Happy Holidays

IPhoto albums and events and thousands of photos not showing on iOS devices

I have 10,000 photos in iPhoto, and several albums.
I have noticed that for the last few weeks on my iPhone 6 plus the only albums that show are
Photos.... Years 2004, 2005 and 2014
Shared (nothing)
Albums All Photos (only 163 photos) Videos and Deleted
There is no photo stream or anything else. All there is is listed above.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Under the iCloud photo library beta (in settings > iCloud) it says that the following will happen if have it turned on
'automatically upload and store you entire library in iCloud to access photos and videos from all your devices...'
So why does it not do what it says it will do....?
iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is currently only available for your mobile devices with iOS 8. "store you entire library in iCloud " is referring to the "Photos" library on iPhone or iPad, not to the iPhoto Library on a Mac. On your Mac you can only access this library from the iCloud web interface.
Or will they be in the cloud in the spring.
Early next year a Photos.app for MacOS Yosemite will be released. Photos on the Mac will be able to access iCloud Photo Library (no longer Beta), and Apple announced, that you will be able to migrate your iPhoto Library to "Photos".
To see your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) use the Photos.app on the iCloud webpage.

How do I make iPhoto events with photo stream?

I am confused about how I am now supposed to download photos into iphoto to make Events. Yesterday I plugged in my phone to import recent photos but when it did this I ended up with two of everything because photostream had already "imported" (?) them. So, if that means I don't need to plug the iphone in pto import the photos, then how do I:
1. delete the photos from my phone that I would normally be deleting everytime i import via a wire?
2. make an event from the photos in the photo stream?
I also noticed that some of the photos from the same series of photos are still left on my phone--those are the only photos that are not duplicated. I don't understand why they were left on my phone, nor is it clear to me whether the ones on my computer are from the "normal import" or from the "photo stream import".
Would love some clarity about this.

As far as the duplicates.... I don't know why it's doing that. If something comes to mind I'll let you know.
As far as using a cable...
You can still sync with iTunes (apps, music, photos etc) via Wi-Fi and only use the cable to charge the phone. That has nothing to do with Photostream. So you should have iTunes set up to sync the photos with a folder on your MBP.
As far as being away from your MBP for over 30 days....
Well, in that case whatever photos are older than 30 days will disappear from photostream, but they will still be in your phone's camera roll. As long as you don't lose or break your phone, you can transfer them to your MBP when you're home again (via iTunes or iPhoto or Image Capture). If you are concerned something will happen to your phone during those 30+ days away from your MBP, then you can use an option like Dropbox to save them online.

How to move Projects and Events with iPhoto video included in iMovie '11?

I work with a group of educators using iPads for video. One method for getting their clips into iMovie '11 is via iPhoto and then using the iPhoto Video link in iMovie to get the footage on a timeline (trying to import directly into iMovie '11, using the iPad as a "camera", has proved inconsistent, especially with footage from iStopMotion or Filmic Pro 1 and 2).
The problem is, when it comes time to copy or move an event and project, the iPhoto clips don't come along; they are dependent on the iPhoto library, so you can't continue editing on a different machine. I tried File > Consolidate Media, but it was inactive (in my test project, all clips came from iPhoto). If I look at Reveal in Browser, it goes to the bowels of the iPhoto library. If I copy the project to another drive, it too, points to the iPhoto library (if I'm on the same machine; otherwise it doesn't see it). I also tried optimizing the footage in the hope that it would create an Event with optimized clips that I could then transfer.
Am I missing something? It seems nuts that you can't transfer work to another machine without manually picking through the bowels of iPhoto. These days, lots of shooting is done on iPads and iPhones. Any help would be appreciated.

My suggestion would be that in the future, they upload photos only to iphoto, and upload video clips directly to iMovie. In the early days of iOS, going through iPhoto was the only way, so it is a habit that I have had to break.
With iOS 5 and 6, iMovie now recognizes the iPhone and the iPad as cameras.
I agree that the Consolidate Media command should bring over iPHoto movies along with the photos. I suggest that you go to iMovie/Provide Feedback and let the developers know that you would like this feature.

IPhoto 11 and one event with 15,000+ photos - help

I am new to Mac, this is my first, but long time PC users (28 years)... so it is a learning curve. My photos were/are on an external hard drive, (due to last computer failure) and undamaged.
I only got my iMac 27 i5 on Friday, and have been importing them. The first time the programme ran - I probably foolishly imported a year's photos in one go (I have since realised the error after it froze).... and when I finally got out of the mess, I discovered I have one event with over 15,000 photographs in.
I have since been importing all my others folder by folder, as opposed to year by year - they go back to 1998.... so a lot in total.
My questions -
1 I have now discovered how to split the events, but it is so time consuming, with so many photos, is there by any chance an easier way.
and whilst I am posting perhaps someone knows how to get around this as well:
2 In Faces, I have gone through - so far - over 5,000 and written in names, but it isn't really very good at recognition, and I wonder whether it is worth carrying on with it - it shows only 2 pictures at a time, go to full screen and all it shows is around 8 - is there any way I can get a load up in one go of the 'same person' - or the computer thinks is the same, and do them in a batch
Thanks for any input, it is appreciated.

I deleted the images of 15k+ and then set about sorting out the duplicates, triplicates and quadruplet folders it seems to have created.... took me ages, and I finally did that.
I had also purchased the Duplicate Annihilator as recommended in another similar thread, but that was going to take almost 4 days, hence I decided that I didn't have time for that to sort it out anyway, so I have done it myself this morning.
I was then asked to rebuild the database, so I set that going at just before 1300 (just over 2 hours ago), I came up from lunch and it was showing 97%.... and 80 mins it is still 97%
I am checking the activity monitor and it shows that it seems to be doing something, ie the nmber of threads stays at 26 but the %CPU keeps chaning, from 101.6 to 101.7 - so is it actually doing anything....iphoto has a black sectin with the circle thing going around in the centre....nothing else showing on the screen... actually watching it for the last minute or so and nothing is happening ... so is it working....
What should I do...
TBH I thought this would all be straightforward, and beginning to regret my choice of computer.... all I can say is it looks great, but isn't working as it should....
On top of that Time Machine has also now told me I need to start a new back-up but no idea where to find start a new back-up.... googling, and using spotlight hasn't brought up the answer yet
Still on 97%

My iPad 1 has suddenly started to sync Events from my iPhoto library incorrectly. It seems to break down Events to separate dates - so if an Event was photographed over 2 days, it is showing as 2 separate events with the same name.

Posted this before I realised there is an update for the iPhoto app 9.1.3 which sorts the problem.

IPhoto Events with video only not showing in Photos.app with iOS 4.2.1

I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3GS and when I open the Photos.app the videos and the event with the videos in do not show. I have created a new video on the iphone, synched ok with IPhoto but re-sycnhing with iPhone again does not show videos in Photos.app
Has anyone found a fix for this bug?

The same thing happened to me. I was on a mission yesterday to fix it, but didn't get it to work. I have 1 more thing i want to try... but haven't had a chance.
Has anyone fixed this?
My plan is to unsync photos to remove them from my phone, delete all the photo cache information from the iPhoto Library package, empty the trash, reboot my computer AND iPhone, open iPhoto to make sure they're sorted correctly, and then sync my phone. If that doesn't fix it... i dont know, i might call Apple.

HT1229 How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what.

How do you transfer photos to external backup and keep the photos in events with event name or with description name. Each time I have tried to transfer them they only transfer with a jpg number so you don't know what photos are what. When you have several thousand photos it is difficult to determined what is what.
Why does iPhoto have the ability to put photos in events and to give them descriptions if it doesn't transfer this info with the photo. I want to back my photos up to an external drive.

The simplest way to achieve what you want is to back up the iPhoto Library. That will get everything.
You sem to be exporting from iPhoto to the Finder. The Finder does not have the same organisation capabilities as iPhoto. If you're going to do that you need to understand some of the differences between the two.
Event Name will become Folder Name.
'Description Name' I guess is the Title you give the Photo
Jpeg Number is the File Name assigned by your camera.
So: File -> Export
Set your Kind to Jpeg
Select your preferred Quality
Check the Boxes at 'Titles and Descriptions' and Location Information
Under FIlename select 'Use Title'
Click on Export. In the Next Window choose a New Folder as your export destination and then Name that as you prefer

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,

Iphoto has lost connection with its folder

Hello,
One day I turned on my mac, opened iPhoto and found it empty. I've read various threads and know not to be alarmed as I can see the folder of my pics is still there.
I am however having trouble re-connecting iPhoto to this folder. In the past iPhoto has sorted the folder into numerous sub-folders accredited to the year in which the photos were taken. I cannot connect to the main folder that will include these sub-folders. It always wants me to connect iphoto to a folder with only pics in and not a folder with other folders inside.
Am I going to have to go through the laborious business of moving all my photos into a single folder that will then communiacate with iphoto?
Thanks.

See if you can rebuild your library with iPhoto Library Manager 3.
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download IPhoto Library Manager 4 for OS XC 10.6.8 and iPhoto 8.1.2 and later or iPhoto Library Manager 3 (for OS X 10.5.8 and iPhoto 7.1.5 and earlier) and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
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 (iPLM 3) or Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu (iPLM 4) option.
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

IPhoto no longer synching with iTunes

Ever since I installed the latest Yosemite update, 10.10.3, iPhoto no longer syncs with iTunes. Once I connect my iPhone with my MacBook Pro and iTunes launches, I have confirmed that it is wanting to sync with iPhoto and not the new Photos app (which I can't stand). I have selected events I have chosen to sync and this used to be a seamless process. There must be a glitch since the update, as it freezes on step 5 of 6, importing photos. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Have you found a solution? This is most frustrating.

Have you tried the following:
Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

Best way to draw thousands of graphic objects on the screen

Hello everybody, I'm wanting to develop a game where at times thousands of graphic objects are displayed on-screen. What better way to do this in terms of performance and speed?
I have some options below. Do not know if the best way is included in these options.
1 - Each graphical object is displayed on a MovieClip or Sprite.
2 - There is a Bitmap that represents the game screen. All graphical objects that are displayed on screen have your images stored in BitmapData. Then the Bitmap that represents the game screen copies for themselves the BitmapData of graphical objects to be screened, using for this bitmapData.copyPixels (...) or BitmapData.draw (...). The Bitmap that represents the screen is added to the stage via addChild (...).
3 - The graphical objects that are displayed on screen will have their images drawn directly on stage or in a MovieClip/Sprite added to this stage by addChild (...). These objects are drawn using the methods of the Graphics class, as beginBitmapFill and beginFill.
Recalling that the best way probably is not one of these 3 above.
I really need this information to proceed with the creation of my game.
Please do not be bothered with my English because I'm using Google translator.
Thank you in advance any help.

Thanks for the information kglad. =)
Yes, my game will have many objects similar in appearance.
Some other objects will use the same image stored, just in time to render these objects is that some effects (such as changing the colors) will be applied in different ways. But the picture for them all is the same.
Using the second option, ie, BitmapDatas, which of these two methods would be more efficient? copyPixels or draw?
Thank you in advance any help. =D
