Last 5 Months Album Behaving Strangely

When I have the "Show last 5 Months" iPhoto puts pictures in that album that are much older than 5 months. Even the information tab at the bottom left says from 3/30/06 to 9/9/08. However when I change it to 4 months, said group of pictures disappears.
The imported date is 7/2007, and the original date is 3/2006. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? It's kind of annoying. Thanks in advance.

As I remember the Show last "n" months shows all photos in events with one or more photos in the last "n" months - you must have an event with at least on photo from 5 months ago that also have several older photos in it - check the photos in that event

Removing "last 12 months" album

So, I've noticed that my iPhone and iPad have a folder in the Photos app labled "Last 12 Months" with one picture in it that is apparently from my mac desktop. I deleted this photo from my mac MONTHS ago yet its still apearing on both my iPad and iPhone within that folder. I checked iPhoto to make sure it wasn't still in that program and sure enough, it WASN'T. How do I either remove this folder or delete the photo (neither my iPhone or iPad give me that option for photos in this album)??

You can remove the album from the left hand pane by setting the number of months to 0 in iPhoto's General preferences pane.
Have you tried changing the dates with the option to change the original files? Then export the original files out of iPhoto and reimport them. See if that will get the correct dates.

Photo Stream of last n months album auto update?

I need (aka really appreciated the convenience of) the ability to automatically share the most recently imported photos with another user on my machine. I've tried a photo stream of the "Last ☐ Months" smart album that is available in iPhoto's preferences, however the photo stream is not dynamic like the album is. I understand and appreciate the convenience of new iPhone photos being available in iPhoto automatically as a photo stream, so I assumed the opposite would also be true. I don't see where it is and I'm honestly very dismayed at that. If I'm missing how to do this, please do tell. A plugin, maybe? An AppleScript?
Barring that, are there any other options anyone has explored? I've been using iPhoto the last 12 years, but I'm at the point if switching to another workflow. Adobe is WINDOWS style bloat and Google I just don't trust, so their products are a no-go for me.
I can fathom a homegrown solution using Image Capture and shared folders, but I can tell it's beyond my frustration capacity. Not that it would match the old iPhoto sharing. What a waste to throw away such a powerful, useful feature.

i'm sorry but with all of the editorial you failed to actually tell us what the problem is and what you have
my best guess is that you upgraded from iPhoto '09 or earlier to iPhoto '11 although it is impossible to tell from your rambleing
if that is the case then local sharing requires an external disk formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) with ownership ignored
iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
if that is not what you want please post a simple straight forward statement of what you have, what you want to accomplish and why you can not do it

IPhoto "Last 12 months" only shows 1 month from March-April

On August 24th I imported some film into my iPhoto. Well I finally have a chance to go edit it and it is not there. After searching for it on iPhoto and my computer and an external hard drive- all just in case- I discovered that my iPhoto will only open up photos/video from 3/20/13-4/27/13. It says that that is what I uploaded in the last 12 months...I have uploaded a lot more than that and used it to create videos and export photos from my iPhone.
I can't find my videos anywhere and it is for a project due on Monday.
Can anyone help?

Wondering: what happens to photos in the Last 12 Months folder, which have not been sorted into other albums, after 12 months..? -
Nothing happens to them. The last twelve months album is just a window, showing you a current selection of your photos. You can access all photos in your library either from the Photos view or from the "events" view. Each photo is a member of one of the events.
You can define your own "last xxx month" albums with a different date range by defining a smart album from the File menu.
Format the date according to the date format in your region settings.

IPhoto Last 12 Months folder

Running iPhoto 9.5.1. Mavericks 10.9.4. Wondering: what happens to photos in the Last 12 Months folder, which have not been sorted into other albums, after 12 months..? - particularly as I've been adding more photos, so the 12 month date keeps advancing. Do they simply remain, even though they were added more than 12 months ago?
For example: my current Last 12 months folder contains images from Sept 2013 to Sep 2014. Many of these pics haven't been organized into other folders. When I begin to add photos from Oct 2014, what happens to the images from Sept 2013...which will be more than 12 months ago?

I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened? Don't know what to do. How can I get pictures back in my albums?

I put all my photos int albums. Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them. When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone. What happened? All of my pictures gone? I need help...

Hi saginrsf,
Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

How to delete albums of events, last 12 months, last import, and hidden in photos iPhone 4s

how to delete albums of events, last 12 months, last import or hidden in photos iPhone 4s?

Photos synced to the iphone from your cmputer are removed the same way, the sync process.
Open itunes, connect iphone, go to photos tab, select what you want, sync.

I have lost pictures in my albums. Only some. I deleted same photos from last 18 months because they were duplicates. Did this make the pictures disappear from yhe albums?

I have lost the pictures in most of my albums. After I creatd the albums, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them. Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased? My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not. Help

Was that in iPhoto on your Mac or on your iPad?
, I went back to the same pictures in the last 18 months and erased them.
Then, sorry to say, you will have deleted the photos from your iPhoto library.
Have you checked iPhoto's Trash and the Trash on your Desktop, if the photos are still there? Then put them back from iPhoto's Trash or move them back from the trash basket on your Desktop.
Did this cause the album pictures to also be erased?
Albums do not store photos or duplicate photos - they are a way to group photos that are stored in events, just an index, showing you a subset of the photos in the library. A photo can be used in many albums, without needing more storage. When you delete a photo from its event, it will be removed from all albums, and all other views of the iPhoto library. Never delete a phot from its event, unless you want to remove it completely from your iPhoto library. A photo is only a duplicate, unless you have imported the same file twice and you see the copy in an event.
iPhoto has several views, that may show you the same photos in different groupings, for easy access, but do not contain duplicates.
If you cannot retrieve your photos from the Trashs, restore your iPhoto Library from the last backup, that contains all photos. If there is no recent backup, you may want to try recovery software - then stop using your mac and don't do anything that writes to your harddisk, until you recovered, what is still on your disk.
For example,
Disk Drill: http://www.cleverfiles.com/
usually makes a very good job of finding any jpegs, that still can be found on the harddrive.
My Itunes was acting like my Ipad was attached, but it was not.
I don't understand, why you mention the iPad? Have you synced your photos to your iPad and are there still copies of them in your albums on the iPad?

When I try to open a specific album, the pictures from "last 12 months" comes up instead of the pictures in the album

When I try to open an album, the pictures from "last 12 months" come up instead of the pictures in the album.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

TS2518 I opened Aperture and all my projects and albums for the last 4 months have gone. Where can I recover them from?

I have lost the last 4 months of photos on Aperture and have no idea why. Can anyone tell me how to recover them? I don't find Mac software that intuitive after using MS for 30+ years.

We will need to know more, to be able to help you to find and restore your images.
What exactly do you mean by "lost 4 month of photos". Are earlier projects still visible in Aperture or are all your projects missing?
What is your Aperture version and your MacOS X version?
And what were the last action you did on your mac, before the photos went missing? Did you install something, update something, run some cleaning tools?
Did you move your aperture library to a different location?
Please tell us anything you think that might help to understand what happenend.
Sometimes images appear to be missing, but are only hidden.
Have you looked in Aperture's Trash? And the Trash on your Desktop?
Have you looked at the searchfields in the browser and Inspector if they are cleared and are showing "All Items" or "Showing all"?
Have you opened the correct Aperture Library? If you type ".aplibrary" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen, do you see more than one Aperture library?

Sometimes it behaves strangely

In the last few days, my shuffle started behaving strangely. I bought two albums from iTMS, Madonna and System Of A Down.
They both play well on my powerbook, but on shuffle not so well (and since I paid, "not so well" is not good).
Pausing a song, does not pause, but simply stops; when I press play, it skips to the next song, either in shuffle mode or in play mode.
And, most important of all, one song (Madonna, Get Together), locks the iPod: it plays well, but at the end (I suppose when it updates play count) I hear a click, like a static electric wave, green light is on and the only thing I can do is turn off (another click) and wait for few seconds.
Yesterday I reset my shuffle, re-installed last version software, but nothing happened.
Has anyone had a similar behaviour?

It actually sounds like the problem is with those particular files, not with the shuffle (if other purchased songs work fine on the shuffle. You can contact the iTMS customer service and tell them about the problem. They may offer you a refund or let you download new fixed verions of theose songs.
You can contact them through the form at the bottom of this page:

Has anyone ever encountered layer blend modes behaving strangely?

I use photoshop quite a bit for retouching and photo compositing. Tonight I encountered a strange problem. I was trying to create a vintage look on a photo and had a number of adjustment layers including a curves, levels, color fill and there were also a few texture/noise layers all set to varying opacities. Near the top of all this I had a vignette layer that was black around the edges and white in the center set to blend mode of multiply. Well, when I was clicking on and off I realize that that vignette layer was definitely lightening the center part of the overall image quite a bit (the part that is white on the vignette layer), almost like a screen. So I flipped the vignette layer through different opacity modes and saw that there was no change in its behavior, every mode was screening the white, even darker color and multiply. I thought maybe it was interacting in a weird way with one of the other layers so I turned all the others off except the back ground-- still no change. Then I dropped the layer down one at time until it was below the background. When I started to move it up again, it was behaving normally for a moment until I moved it up a couple levels in the stacking order and then it went back to the screen behavior. Anyway I shuffled it around a bit but there was no consitency to when it would display the correct opacity and when it wouldn't, so it did not seem to be an interaction with any specific layer. I don't know, but I can't really think of any case where white set to multiply should produce a lighter result even if it were interacting with another opacity. In any case it does seem to me that there is something going on with the overall computation of opacities. I tried creating a new black and white layer and it was also doing the same thing, behaving strange and not displaying the correct opacity.
I'm tired, so I'm going to bed. I'm going to shut off the computer and hope this goes away when I reboot, but if it does not, does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not a regular visitor to this forum, but I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else has experienced anything like this. I've only got 5 gigs of ram on this computer and I've been working away for a while... maybe photoshop just couldn't keep up(?) I'm using Photoshop CS5, RGB Adobe 1998 colorspace. I've never had anything like this happen in the last 11 years I've been using photoshop. Hmmm.... hope I don't have to reinstall or call support or worse. fingers crossed.

Nevermind. It is still having the problem. I have to think that this file is just corrupt somehow because I just opened another file and can't seem to cause the same problem. Basically, I can fill a layer with white, put it to a blend mode of multiply or darker color and it will block out everything of the image below, ie totally opaque. The opaqueness varies depending on the if there are other layers also on blend modes, but it does not seem to correspond to normal blend mode interaction. If I put it right on top of a regular layer with an image on it, it totally blocks it out on a blend mode of multiply... weird. I am going to scrap this file and see if the problem recurs in other files. My 2006 Mac Pro is getting some years on it and has been running pretty slow. I'm not a hardware expert but I've done everything I know how to do to maintain it. Was thinking of upping the ram to see if I can hold out a bit longer before I upgrade the computer. Wouldn't surprise me if this problem is related to the computer.

Iphoto not storing photos in Last 2 month folder

Since I upgraded to Os X 10.8 when I download photos from camera, iphoto is putting the picture in the Last import folder but if you
download again from the camera a new pictures the previous one do not appear anymore in the Last 2 months folder.( but they are indeed in the Photo folder.)
Why? Basically my Last 2 Months folder has only pictures before the upgrade to OS X.
Any thoughts?

iPhoto 09?
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Photos not appearing in "Last 12 Months"

My last 3 uploads from my Sony DSC-HX1 camera (that I have used for a year) is uploading to my iPhoto but will not show up in "last 12 months". I thought I deleted them but I found the pictures in Events. how do I get them back to "last 12 months"? I always make a book at the end of each year, but I cannot put these pictures in. They have the correct date, so that is not the issue. My iPhone4 and my other Sony camera DSC-W290 are showing up in the "last 12 months" when I downloaded my pictures today. any idea why this has just started happening?
I thought I was loosing it after taking pictures of my daughters play and then not seeing them on my computer. I thought "I know I saw the camera flash, I know I saw the picture on the screen.... HELP

I know you said the dates are correct but what you describing sounds like incorrect dates - select one of the photos in question and look at the info pane to reverify - the last 12 months is a preference that can be changed so you can play with it but that does not sound like it
You can try renewing the iPhoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Why is my MacBook display behaving strangely?

I am using an alumin(i)um MacBook (13", late 2008 model with multi-function glass trackpad). In the past couple of weeks, the display has started to behave strangely. The screen seems to freeze (meaning any mouse movements or keystrokes do not display), and then the screen begins to fade to grey. It seems to be resolved by tilting the display until the MacBook "wakes". There has also been some occasional flickering of the display, although far less frequent. Could someone help me with this? Is it something like a loose connection, and, if so, how should I deal with it? (The MacBook is now out of warranty, so my next step would be my local Apple store). Thanks in advance!

Same thing happening to me - began about four weeks ago, two weeks after warranty expired. Has gotten to the point where it's difficult to use the computer - don't get through composing an e-mail before it starts to fade - now know that even though computer display is frozen, the keystrokes are still getting through, so be careful what keys you press trying to get it to pay attention!
I believe it's going to turn out to be a connection problem between the computer and the display in the hinge area. I found out yesterday that as it freezes, and I start to pick it up off my lap and put it aside, if I pick it up with my left hand near the lower left of the keyboard and my right hand behind the display, down low near then hinge, and pulling slightly towards me, this fixes it (for a while), and this is (for me) the most reliable way to wake it back up. I've seen references elsewhere to this being a simple problem where a connection is maintained with a black foam pad to provide pressure to the connection. I think the foam must degrade or lose resiliency (apparently at 12.5 months from purchase!) and there may be a simple solution available. When I figure it out for this particular model, I'll post my conclusions.
