Is it possible to sort photos by the date imported?

The majority of my photos were taken without the date being set in the camera.
In previous versions of iphoto it appeared as though each time I imported images (now called an event) the events were put in the order that they were imported.
I would like to go back to that method of ordering, on a temporary basis this will allow me to try estimate the date that each event took place because at least the events would be in chronological order.
Right now my events are completely unordered because of wrong dates.

I'm assuming that in addition to not having the date set in your camera you had not renamed the rolls in iPhoto 6 so every event is now titled "Untitled event"
The only way to fix your dates that comes to mind is to go back to iPhoto 6, go through all your rolls and name them 'Roll "date"' or even 'roll n' then reimport into iPhoto 7.0.2 . that way the events will be in the same order that the rolls were in iPhoto 6 and you can use the iPhoto "photos menu ==> adjust date and time" or "photos menu ==> batch change ==> set date" to modify the dates so the events work
Before doing anything I'd download Old Toad's library back up and do that (see pretty much any of his posts for instructions)

  • HT201317 Is it possible to retrieve photos once the 30 days is up or once the photo stream exceeds the 1000 photo limit?

    Is it possible to retrieve photos once the 30 days is up or once the photo stream exceeds the 1000 photo limit?

    No.  Photo stream photos are not backed up so there is no way to restore them.  Only camera roll photos are backed up.

  • Is it possible to take photos with the iphone when the flashlight is on?

    Is it possible to take photos with the iphone when the flashlight is on?
    When the light is on, it would be great to take photos without flash in dark areas or in macromode.
    How is this possible?

    My idea is using the flashlight permanently as kind of "studio light" to take Photos in macromode:
    Is it possible to take photos with the iphone when the flashlight shines permanently?

    Especially for medical documentation (Dermatology etc.).
    I didn´t found any netsolution.
    This could be an outstanding feature for many people.
    How could this be possible? App-Solution?

  • Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod nano 5G?

    Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod Nano 5G?

    No. But you can take a photo of the video with your Mac.
    With the iPod connected to your computer, click on the iPod, open the DCIM folder & move the video file onto your desktop. Play the video & when you get to the part you want to take a picture of, put Quicktime on pause. Take a screen shot (appleshift3) or (appleshift4 for cross hair cropping) of the paused video.

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

  • How to sort photo events by date and avoid having duplicated photos on iPhone 6+

    How to sort photo events bby date and avoid having duplicated photos. Before the sorting by date worked perfectly by specifying "sort events by date ascending" in iPhoto from my Mac. Now the sorting from iPhoto has no more effect on the iPhones. And photos are often duplicated when synchronisin. Before these problems didn't happen. How to do?

    You can not  --  neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
    It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

  • I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

    How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.  I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one.  They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device."  I hadn't touched the camera.  The message came by itself.  I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit.  Opening it back up, the pictures were gone.  Can somebody help me? 

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later 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.

  • I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File Import menu?

    I have downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro.  Why can't I see my scanner (Epson Perfection 3200 Photo) from the File>Import menu?

    There was no driver update available (it said my driver was up to date), so I just deleted the scanner and restarted the computer.  when it came up, the scanner had already been added again.  With great anticipation I tried to import from Photoshop...but no luck (scanner was not visible).  I finally ended up calling Epson (had great difficulty in locating a number for support) and they finally told me there is no driver update for OS X 10.10 and I should as a work around use "Image Capture" application.  I tried it, and it works quite well.

  • How do i save a calender i have created with the photo and the dates saved on separate pages?

    how do i save a calender i have created in photoshop with the photo and the dates saved as two separate pages?  when i save as pdf or jpeg they are authomatically saving 1 pg with the photo and dates on one page.  This is causing problems when i print.

    Hi there, in case your printer cannot print very large, you can also crop down two versions and print them as separate documents.
    1) Create a guide where you would like to split the pages by clicking on the ruler (hit command R if they are not showing) and dragging to the desired area.
    Creating the guide will make it so you can be precise in the way you split up your page, and so that no part of the image will be repeated or lost.
    2) Select the Crop Tool and fit the crop area to the top half of your calendar, using the guide you've just made to snap to the right spot. Hit return to finalize the crop.
    3) Go to File > Save As. Name the file something like calendar_top and select the desired file format. Hit "Save."
    4) Once you get back to your calendar file, Go to the History panel and select "Drag Guide." This will take you back to the step before you cropped the image.
    5) Repeat the steps as before for the bottom half of the calendar, once again using the guide to help you make your crop area.
    So then you would just print each of the two pages individually. The images will not be contained within one document, but if you have Acrobat you could combine the files.
    I hope this helps!

  • How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

    How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

    your question is not clear
    if you want to delete unimported photos you can not using iPhoto -image capture can and youcan do it on yoru IOS device or yoru camera
    If you want to import only select items and you have a current version of iPhoto then you select the ones you want and use the import selected cuttom
    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • Is it possible to rename photo in the "camera roll" OR reset the photo number in iphone 4s? (Clearly explained the situation)

    Hi everyone, nice to meet you all. This is my first discussion starting in here and nice to meet you all. I used Android device before and this is my first apple mobile that I owned. I am using iphone 4s. (5.0.1)
    I have search a lot but no answer that how can I rename the photo in the camera roll in iphone or in Windows 7.
    What I want to do is:
    I have IMG_0006, IMG_0007, IMG_0015, IMG_0016, IMG_0017, total 5 files.
    I want to change the name that make their sequence will become IMG_0001, IMG_0002, IMG_0003, IMG_0004, IMG_0005 and I want the following picture will take place in IMG_0006. (This is just what I want but it never happened)
    but seems that I can't rename them and I have tried that if I take 2 pictures after IMG_0017, but I delete them (which is delete IMG_0018 and IMG_0019), then take another new picture again, it will name as IMG_0020 instead of IMG_0018.
    Questions:
    1. Are there any methods to reset the photo number by deleting file under the "PhotoData" that we can see in iPhone Explorer?
    OR
    2. Are there any methods to rename the photo in the "camera roll" folder?
    I have tried to rename the photo directly in iPhone Explorer but it will make the photo cannot be read in iphone.
    3. Is it possible that I can rename them directly and rebuild the camera roll by deleting the Photos.sqlite under the PhotoData folder to solve the unreadable problem in iphone 4?
    Thanks a lot to read all of the words above
