IPhoto viewer and photo orientation

I have the iPad Camera Connection Kit and a Canon 5D Mark II with which I shoot in RAW mode. When I shoot in portrait orientation and connect the camera to the iPad and do an import, none of the files are rotated (they are all in landscape orientation) and I have to rotate them all in iPhoto, which is quite cumbersome when you have 300+ photos and they are all in portrait orientation.
I would consider this a bug because there is no computer involved in this setup -- it's straight from the camera. The EXIF data is definitely there and correct. Is this a MK II incompatibility? Is there a different app that I could use that doesn't have this issue?
It's otherwise very exciting, so I would really like to get this issue fixed. Thanks!

So it looks like the problem was that auto rotate was turned off in the camera, and when it's off no orientation data is saved in the RAW file.

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? Graham

Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this? A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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.

Iphoto albums and photos are mission

I currently have iphoto 6.0.6. When I open iphoto it is empty. All my albums and folders along with photos are not there. I know the photos are still on my hard drive but I don't know how to get everything back in iphoto.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Some possibilities:
1. Has iPhoto 'forgotten' where your library is? Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. Select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the iPhoto Library Folder. See if that will open it.
2. IS the db corrupted? 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 Folder allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.

Just upgraded to iphoto 9 and photos are gone

Hello i just upgraded to iphoto 11 and most of my photos from my airport disk are gone. Only the ones i imported this year are recovered. HELP!
I have photos of my clients that are very very important.
f

With respect
Not having an up-to-date back up is like driving without a seatbelt. You may well be fine but if something goes wrong you'll be worse off than if you were wearing one.
Upgrading anything without a back up is the same, except now you're driving blindfolded and drunk, so something is much more likely to go wrong. And if it does you'll be much much worse off than if you had one.
Next: Is that a network connection to that Disk? If so, then it's not a appropriate location for an iPhoto Library.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
So, before we can start to figure out a solution you'll need to confirm that the library is on a correctly formatted disk and with a wired connection to the Mac.
Then tell us the size of the Library in the Finder.

Iphoto 08 and photo collage

I have been reading on the net and did a google search and I understand that in the previous version of Iphoto (that predates Iphoto 08) you were able to make a photo collage under print&layouts?? Can you no longer do this in Iphoto 08? if not why? Is there a template add-on or something to do this? I think it would be pretty Stupid for apple to not include this feature in 08 any help would be great

Other applications that can create mosiacs or collages are:
MacOSaiX, MozoDojo, PhotoTiles, Posterino and OmniGraffle. I created this 20" x 30" 96 photo collage with OG.
Earlier there was an thumbnail poster plugin of sorts for iPhoto in Tiger by Jim Heid but I don't think that's available any more. However there's an Automator version of that, a 20 x 30" poster that's available from here at AutomatorWorld. It's a free Automator workflow.
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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

IPhoto Thumbnails and Photos Not Displaying After Restore

Hi,
I recently reset my iMac to overcome an indexing problem. I backed up my iPhoto library to an external hard drive and once the Mac was rebuilt I copied the iPhoto file back across from the backup to the iMac.
When I ran iPhoto and selected the iPhoto library to use, I get the Events thumbnails grid but there is no content other than the name of the event.
If I click on an Event I then get:
Clicking on a photo gives me:
I tried copying and importing the iPhoto file again, but the same thing happens.
I can see by inspecting the Media folder under the Import to Library option that all the photos are there.
I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
Anyone know why they're not displaying?
Thankfully, when I backed up the iPhoto library I also "exported" all the photos as individuals to my Cloud storage, so I also have another backup - but I'd rather not use this second backup if possible as I want to keep my Events as per the main backup.
I also have a 3rd backup (yes, I'm paranoid about my photos!) on Time Machine (didn't use that for the restore as I was told it would re-introduce the indexing errors).
Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing this is as it should be?
That looks good, your original image files are still in the iPhoto Library but need reconnecting.
I've tried rebuilding and repairing the iPhoto database by holding down Option/CMD when opening iPhoto and selecting options 3, 4, 1 and 2 in that order but still hasn't helped.
Then try the last resort and rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager. You can download it here, the free trial will suffice for this: Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager

IPhoto 11 and Photo Stream not syncing

Hi all,
I'm running a MacBook Pro 2011 updated to Lion OSX 10.7.2. iPhoto has been updated to 9.2 and my iPhone has iOS 5.
iCloud is syncing my calendar, mail and iWork items with no problems. The phone and macbook are both connected to wi-fi on the same connection.
The only thing that's not working is Photo Stream.
It's turned on in the Mac settings pane and enabled on the phone. The strange thing is that if I take a screenshot on the phone or if I download a photo from the web (like wallpaper from an app), the photo will show in my photostream.
If I take a photo with the camera on the phone, it isn't being sent to the cloud.
Find My Mac, Mail, Calendar, iWork etc are all working fine. It's just this problem with the photos.
Some advice would be very much appreciated.

If you have your iPhoto/iCloud preferences set as show in this screenshot
each photo that goes into the My Photo Stream will also be imported in an Event in your library. This copy is independent of the version in the My Photo Stream. So if you delete the photo from the My Photo Stream it will still exist in the Event for the month it was taken.

IPhoto events and photos

For some reason all of my photos went into one date range from 2005 until present. These all had one title with the above date range. All my events were gone. I called Apple and they said only way to recover was with backup data. Since my lasts back up I have many pictures of my new granddaughter. Not a good option. So they said I would have to manually re-create the events file. My picture file is over 9,000 photos. I did rebuild the photo file with Apples help but nothing changed. I have what I have manually done and the new events I did manually. Anyone else ever have this happen?? HELP

That is one way - the other way is to have iPhoto automatically split the one large event into smaller events according to your preference settings as TD suggested - the options are loading a backup from prior to the problem occurring, manually splitting back to smaller events or having iPhoto do the split according to your preference settings

IPhoto upgrade and photo missing!!!!!!!!!

I got an automatic upgrade request for iPhoto and I allowed the upgrade. NOW MY PHOTOS ARE GONE!! Someone please tell me what happened. It never asked me if I wanted to delete or anything. Where did my images go??? This is so frustrating!!!!!!

Iphoto '11 version 9.2.1
iMac - mac os x - version 10.6.8
I simply was asked if I wanted to check for updates. I said yes and allowed it to update. Then when I went back in to iphoto...all of my images were missing except for my last import. Everything was gone.
My hard drive is brand new. My imac quit working after a few month of purchasing it and Apply replaced my hard drive just a few eeks ago. i have yet to back it up. I simply imported photos from my previous laptop and from my iphone (where important video of my kids were). When I went back in to import something else...I noticed everything was gone.
No error messages. Nothing. Just gone.
I looked in the trash. Nothing.
I have tried looking in a few folders, but I am hoping I am just looking in the wrong place.
I am very frustrated and baffled. Especially after having months of trouble already with my previous issue with my hard drive. This hard drive is brand new and should not have any problems.

Deleted/edited original iPhoto files and photos import every time I connect

I think I may have done a bad thing...
I was moving photos from my computer to my external hard drive and deleted and edited some originals iPhoto files. Now, every time I connect my camera, every photo imports and it takes forever! Is there any way I reverse this or is this a lost cause?
Help, please!

Can you run that one by us again...

How did you do this?

Isn't that what you want to happen?

Backing up iPhoto Events and Photos...with Automator?

I'm still new to Mac (two months) and just figured out what Automator is. Anyway, I was curious if there's an existing automation to back up events and pictures on my external hard drive or if someone can offer a quick tutorial on how to create one. Thanks.

Hope you will see this... I had the exact same question and need to be sure what I understand. It is easiest for me to have all contacts, calender contacts only as iCloud rather than machine based. But I want to be sure if there is a massive error on icloud (I have had them on mobile me, me.com) that I can restore from my external hard drive where I do regular time machine backups. How does that work? Does the time machine recognise what is on the calendar regardless of its origin (cloud, gmail, exchange) and then restore it to the machine. At which point I would need to manually edit them all to put them in the right cloud based storage??

I have iPhoto 11, and whenever I upload photos, it does not automatically split the photos into events.

This causes my photos to not show up in my events. I have to click "Show Event" myself. How do I set it to automatically put the photos into events? Also, once I DO get the pictures into events, then appear at the top, so I have to drag it all the way to the bottom of the events. How do I also set it to put the newest events at the bottom? Sorry if this is confusing....

All photo imported into iPhoto automatically go into a new event. If the photos are coming from a folder on your hard drive or other drive the Event name will be then same as the folder name. Otherwise the event will be titled Untitled Event.
The location of the new event within the other events will be determined by the EXIF dates of the photos being imported and how you have event sorting setup in iPhoto (View ➙ Sort Photos menu option).

Iphoto and Photo libraries

After converting my Iphoto library to Photos, I found I had two identically named libraries. Both the same size. (~160GB)
One would open Photos
and one would open Iphotos. However, when deleting some photos form "Photos", the library name and size has not changed.
(Nor has the Photos library size, now in a different folder)
My question is "Is it common for Photos to take the same name library" and "When does
the library show a change for date/size via Finder?"
I am trying to ensure I am backing the new library up via DropBox.
ICloud will come later when i learn it better.
thx.
IMAC with 16GB memory.

There are two libraries: iPhoto Library and Photos Library. They don't have the same name. Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support.
Photos creates an iPhoto Library.migrated to identify the modified library. This library can be used in iPhoto or Photos.
