Is there no way to access iPhoto events via the API?

I'm using the Cocoa API, and near as I can tell, the only way to access event data is to look at the path of photos. This seems really strange, as iPhoto now seems to be centered around events.
Am I missing something? Is it actually really simple? Is there some backdoor to get that information? What I want is the description, and eventually to be able to edit title & description for events. This is easy for albums...grr.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Why don't you just edit the Event description, name, etc. from within iPhoto like you can Albums? You don't need to go outside of iPhoto to do that.
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.

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app?

Is there a way to create new events on the new iPhoto app? I seem to only be able to create albums. I would really like the app to allow me to do all the same things that I was able to do on my Mac. I would create events and then sync to all devices. Can someone please instruct me on how to create new events from the photos imported from the photo stream.
Thanks for all the help!

The iPhoto for iOS seems to be aimed at working on photos then sharing them to social media sites or to iCloud for sharing there. iPhoto for iOS does not perform many of the organizing tasks that iPhoto on your Mac does. Many people expected that there would be more capabilities in iPhoto for iOS that would allow it to work more closely with iPhoto on your computer but this is not the case. They are separate apps.

Is there a way to delete all events with the same title (not added as reoccurring) without deleting one at a time?

i currently have a calendar synced that has events scheduled in perpetuity, scheduled as individual events. I would like to delete all events with the same title. I do not want to delete the entire calendar nor do I want to go into every event and delete individually. These were not scheduled by me so I do not know how they were added one by one and go on forever but they are NOT scheduled as reoccurring and thus must be modified individually.
I can do a search and find all events, is there a way to just delete all events with the same title all at once?
this is a Microsoft outlook synced calendar and I am seemingly unable to delete the events all at one time from Microsoft as well.
Please help!

If you still have access to the Outlook calendar in Outlook, I would delete them from there. There are a number of ways to do that, but if you open the individual event in Outlook, does it show a repeating pattern? If not, then you may have to delete them individually, but that is not that difficult either. Go into the calendar and then change the view to a list view. From there you can sort the view according to subject. This should bring all of these same appointments together in the list and you can select the group in Outlook and delete them. Once you do that, you can change your view back and then sync the phone. That will remove the events from the phone.

Is there a way to access purchased apps from the app store on windows computer? For USB boot drive

Having a problem with my Macbook (13", Late 2009 I believe) after attemption to update iOS to OS Mavericks. Have run into the grey screen of death, and have almost exhausted all options, including reseting pram, accessing fsck, and even using disk utility to reinstall the iOS. I believe that during the initial update (which is the root of the problem), there was some corruption within the directories which I believe can be contributing to my problem.
I was hoping to find a way to access my purchased apps from the app store on a windows computer so that I can make a USB boot drive in order to rule out the hardware problem that I am currently speculating.
Please advise, thanks in advance!

Yes if you have the iPod and iTunes set up to sync via wifi. However, you have to do it from your one syncing computer and the iPod and computer have to be on the same network.

Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
"This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

I have just discovered this problem as well.
Very annoying!
Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

Is there a way to have iPhoto NOT use the Photo Library on the Main drive?

I have thousands of pictures going waaay back to when iPhoto first came out. Most are on disc and on backup drives. I want to use the external drives to work from, within iPhoto. Is this possible?
I just got a Mac Mini and since i have a lot of external drives(over 6TB, I'm a pro photographer) I didn't need the larger main drive. I like to use iPhoto for snapshots of my family and friends and quickie uploads for them.
Thanks.

sure
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Is There Any Way To Access Videos Except Through The Dock?

The section of screen where the dock is located does not respond to touch on my ipod, sending it to get repaired is too cost prohibitive from my location. Is there some alternate method for accessing the music, videos, podcasts etc apart from through the dock? or maybe some tip to make the dock work again?

Here is an article about troubleshooting touch screen response. It's written for the iPhone, but is equally applicable to the iPod Touch.

Is there a way to access my Mac via remote desktop from a Windows machine?

Hi, I'm lookinf for a way to connect from work to my Mac at home. I can do this using VNC and it works, but it is freaking slow! I also dont want to use the Chrome remote dekstop plugin or TeamViewer, there must be a RDP client that can go from Windows to Mac.
Does any of you have some recommendation!?
Cheers Thomas

Is there a way to add an event to the event queue handled by the event structure?

I am using an event structure to control the flow of a program. In one case I want to change the state of a switch and then have the event structure catch this exception and handle it. It works if the user toggles the switch, but doesn't seem to when it is done programmatically. Any suggestions.

Hello,
LabView User's manual says:
"Use Events for Direct User Interaction Only
Events wait only for direct user interaction on the front panel. Events do not work if you use VI Server, global variables, local variables, and so on to change VI or front panel objects programmatically."
However, you can have a look in Example Code, there's some applications generating events programmatically, maybe that helps you. (Search for event structure in support).
Hope that helps,
SBC

IMac G5 with OSX 10.5.8 does not recognize my Western Digital external drive containing the majority of my music library. Is there any way to access that drive and recover the music stored there?

I have an iMac G5 with OSX 10.5.8 that does not recognize my Western Digital external drive. I had no problems with this until I upgraded to 10.5. Most of my music library is stored on the external drive. Is there any way to access it to recover the music?

How is it connected? Have you tried different port? How about logging in as a different user then trying to mount the drive.

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

I have an old MacBook (Mac OSX 10.5.8) with iPhoto '08. Is there any way to back up not only the photos, but the way I have organized them into events and labeled them?

Yes. Back up the Library.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
