Managing iPhoto events on iPad

Is there any way to merge/split iPhoto events on iPad?

As far as I know, you cannot do that on the iPad, only in iPhoto on your Mac. As a work-around, create a new album with the photos from both events to merge, or two new albums with differents sets of photos to split.

Manage iPhoto pix from iPad?

Hi all. We just got an iPad 64GB. We have about 30GB of photos on our Mac with iPhoto '08.
Our goal is to be able to download/sync the photos from iPhoto onto the iPad and manage them on the iPad so we don't have to sit in front of the Mac...we can just sit on the couch. When I say "manage", I mean very simple things like delete a photo or rename an Event or copy/move pix from 1 Event to another. No editing. It would be cool if we could upload the Events to Shutterfly from the iPad instead of the Mac after we manage it. So if I delete a few pix off the iPad, they will get deleted on on iPhoto later when I connect/sync with my Mac. We will never hook up a camera to the iPad so we don't have to worry about iPhoto stuff vs. iPad native.
Ideas? I've looked around the Apple website and there is no mention of this kind of feature. I also do not believe there is an iLife for iPad yet...
Thanks so much in advance!

Download "Photo Sort" from Apps Store ($1.99 I believe). I just did and am still trying it out but it seems to have most if not all of what you want to do.

IPhoto Events on iPad

Is there a way to merge two different events into a single event when using iPhoto on the iPad. I know how to do it on my iMac, but just think how to do it on an iPad
thanks...

Okay, every digital photograph you take has EXIF data embedded inside it such as shutter speed, aperture, location in some cases, date and time etc. As its a field which can be read, it can probably also be edited.
if you Google for "Exif editor mac" you may find some software tools which would in effect, allow you to edit the data in the image files and set their dates all to be the same, thus allowing them to appear in a single 'event' in iPhoto.
All has to be done on a computer though.

IPhoto Event/Album syncing across iPad and Mac.

Does the new iPhoto allow me to delete photos on my iPad and have that reflected on my Mac? I essentially want to manage my iPhoto events/albums on my iPad rather than having to sit at my mac for hours. Thanks very much for your help.

You question might better be served in the iPhoto For iOS community where everyone there probably has iPhoto on their iPad. Here there's no assuance anyone has an iPad with iPhoto.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

How do I get MacPro iPhoto events downloaded to my iPad mini? Uploading photo streams from mini to Mac works fine.

How do I get MacPro iPhoto events downloaded to my iPad mini? iCloud is set up. Uploading photo streams from mini to Mac works fine.

Set up the events as albums on your Mac Pro in iPhoto. Then use iTunes to sync your iPad.
Start iTunes on your Mac Pro. Connect your iPad and select it in the left sidebar. If you do not see a left sidebar use the View menu to View Sidebar.
Once you select your iPad look in the right window and find the Photos tab. Select the album or albums you want copied from iPhoto on your Mac Pro to your iPad. Then click on Apply.

IPad doesn't synch iPhoto events in chronologic order.. what to do? I'm on MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 with iPhoto 9.6 - Solution anyone?... Thanks!

Solution anyone?...
Wait for an iOS update and send feedback to Apple. Many have reported that problem here - synced events and faces in arbitrary order, but there is no known solution. You cannot arrange the synced events, albums, and faces on your iOS devices in any way.
You can use this feedback form to submit a feature request: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html

Duplicate iPhoto events in iPhone/iPad sync

I'm getting duplicate iPhoto events showing up when I try to sync my iPhone and/or iPad. These events are not in duplicate in iPhoto itself. I have tried repairing the iPhoto database and it's file permissions. I have no idea why iTunes reads these events like so (see included screen shot). Any help would be appreciated; thanks in advance.

Hi!
I also have this problem.
iTunes 10.2.2 (12)
iPhoto 9.1.2 (605)
It seems that iTunes separates the pictures of an event, which was imported at different times.

How do I send the iPhoto events from my iMac to my iPad when the two devices are connected by USB port?

I connected my iPad to my iMac via USB port. I want to send my iPhoto events/files to my iPad. I cannot find the right instructions. It appears to me that the iPad sync only transmits data from the iPad to the iMac, but I am trying to send iPhotos from the iMac to the iPad. Do I use export or sync?

You need to use iTunes to sync photos.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select Photos from the menu. Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.

HT4236 Sync some iPhoto Events to my iPad or iPod

I'm using itunes 11.0.1 and iPhoto 9.2. When i specify to synch a couple of iPhoto events to my ipad or iPod, itunes does sync only some of this events to my mobile device. I already deleted the ipod photo chache, but the results are unfortunatly the same. What goes wrong with my iTunes synchronisation? The SW Version on my ipad 3 is latest Release.
Thanx for your help

Thanks Ralph. The iTunes version is 11.1.5. There was a facility where you could select various "Events" from a table in iPhoto and sync just them to your iPad. Finding that function is my current problem

IPhoto Events Duplicated Suddenly-do I delete?

In the last month (and there WAS an iphoto update during that time) I suddenly have dupicate iphoto EVENTS but there are 3 different kinds:
1)Duplicate events: same EVENT NAME, same NUMBER PHOTOS.
2)Duplicate events: slightly altered EVENT NAME, same NUMBER PHOTOS. (this may be a windows transfer issue** see note below)
3)Duplicate EVENT NAME but SOME photos missing in 1 event, and complete in another event of the SAME NAME.
Should I assume that all my photos are fine and just delete the duplicate event and delete the event of the same name but with fewer pics in that event (assuming the event with more pics is "safer" to keep)?
I'm somewhat new to iphoto (on it for 2 years): can I assume if I click on "PHOTOS" in the left pane, those are ALL my photo's in my "Photo Library" or is my Photo Library actually my "EVENTS"? or are photos and events essentialy the same thing? If it exists in "PHOTOS" is it an official jpeg-picture-file? How can there be 2 files of the EXACT SAME NAME?? Both sets of pics say "DSC-0001" (and the numbers go up from there) in the PHOTO LIBRARY. Why doesn't the Photo Library reject that since 2 files cannot normally be in the same place?
I could use Time Machine and replace the photo library with one from a month ago. But how do I know what really happened? This whole thing is unsettling. I'm assuming I have not lost a single of my 44,000 pics I've loaded but why did iPhoto duplicate about 10 events?
**And even more odley: why did it duplicate 3 of them with slightly different names. They may have had these "different file names" when I transfered them from a Windows Computer 2 years ago, but I can't remember and I've not had this duplicate problem happen until earlier this month.
My spouse is saying we should download Picassa and go back to the that but I REALLY like iPhoto and want to keep it. I need to feel that my photo library is SAFE and seeing it in a window-tree (alla Picassa and windows) seems familiar, I know it's not inherently safer than iPhoto/iMac but this duplicating event is unsettling.

are photos and events essentialy the same thing?
Yes - two different ways to view your photos in the iPhoto library
Why doesn't the Photo Library reject that since 2 files cannot normally be in the same place?
Because they are not in the same place - iPhoto is not about files - it is about photos - iPhoto keeps track of the files in a folder structure - you do not ever go into it
What changes have you made recently? for there to be a duplicate in iPhoto you would have had to import it - iPhoto does not duplicate photos

That is totally your choice
having your photos safe is NOT a function of the manager you are using but of your backup systems - iPhoto will not lose your photos nor will Picassa - but system, hardware and user failures will - a backup is the only way to be sure your photos are safe
Note that Picassa has many disadvantages re iPhoto - it does not integrate into other Apple software - it does not provide lossless editing - it does not allow you to upgrade to professional level photo management software (Aperture) directly and it does not integrate with the iPad, iPod and iPhone like iPhotos does or with Photo Stream and iCLoud.
As to duplicates I suggest using Duplicate annailator, DeCloner or iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - for identifying them

Organizing Albums in iPhoto on the iPad/iPhone

I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5, and prefer to have my photos arranged by Albums, Not "events" But in iPhoto on these, when I look at the album view it arranges the albums alphabetically, whereas I want to have them arranged by topic - the topic organization I choose.
I edit and create the albums in iPhoto on my Mac, and have them organized the way I want there. Why doesn't it keep that arrangement of the albums? I can't find out any way to rearrange them the way I want them.
Why can't we organize things the way we want?
By the way, it is much easier to edit and organize o nthe mac, with its bigger screen and extra screens.
Also, is there a way to have Photos, or iPhoto (on the iPad & iPhone) access the keywords and titles I have given them in iPhoto on the Mac?
Thanks

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.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) 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
File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
or
Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
menu option to rebuild the library.
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. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Itunes with iphoto event problem

Hi. i really need help here. I have the same problem with my ipad & iphone so it's either a problem with itunes or iphoto. everything looks great in iphoto but when i open itunes and go to the photo tab it all looks mad. My events have been duplicated several times !! eg.. i've got a wedding event with 200 pic in. Now it looks like wedding ( 2 pics )    school    wedding (5)   wedding (2) etc etc.. I've tried to delete the cache but it still looks like this.. How do i delete the events in itunes and start again ? is this a bug? Darren

Looks like I am not alone.
I thought I had it fixed for a moment, I trashed the com.apple.iPod.plist & tried other advice I have found here but after a sync to an iPod the problem came back. Sync'ing an iPad was fair but two iPhones (3GS & 4) saw the same problem arise so I tried the iPad again and the problem haunted me yet again.
I noticed this happen since the last iTunes update 10.2.2.
Somewhere here I noticed if you re-sort your iPhoto events it helps only once, any further sync'ing has no effect - the problem persists. The issue seems to worsen, events cannot be selected under the Photos tab in iTunes for any device.   When I managed to get the Pad to sync a few events I noticed the sort order was completely random, I should have left well enough alone (at least they were showing) but try as I did to get a sensible order failed completely when I sync'd the pad a second time.
Temporarily I have created Albums in iPhoto to maintain some images on my phone, pod & pad.   They seem to function as best they can but the steps iTunes requires to optimize and sync several thousand photos makes this a VERY long process.

I am trying to sync my iPhoto to my iPad from my Mac but iTunes keeps telling me that my iPhoto Library can't be found.

I am trying to sync my iPhoto to my iPad from my Mac but iTunes keeps telling me that my iPhoto Library can't be found. I obviously can see that I have many photos and events so I am not sure why I'm getting this message.I have all the current software and have been playing around with it for hours and can't figure out the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

im having the same problem!

Can I move an iPhoto event from Mac to Mac?

My wife and I both have MacBooks with our own iPhoto libraries. Although we each have our own photos in our libraries, there are times when we both want the same photos in our library. Sometimes we simply each download the photos from the camera and do our own thing in our separate libraries. But there are times when we are traveling with the camera and just one MacBook and we'll download photos into events and edit them. When we get home, we often want to move these photos (usually edited and nicely organized into events) to the other MacBook. I've been exporting the photos to a temporary folder, transferring them to the other MacBook over our network or using Firewire, and then importing them into iPhoto on the other MacBook.
Is there a way to move an iPhoto event from one MacBook to another? If so, will it bring the "original" (prior to being edited photos) as well as the edited versions? I understand the whole non-destructive editing thing.
I've looked in Finder, opened iPhoto Library with "Show Package Contents", and noticed that there are folders for each year that I have photos (e.g. 1999, 2000, 2001, etc.), and in each year folder there seems to be a folder for each event. In the event folders are the .jpg files. I was thinking that perhaps I could just copy the event folder from one MacBook to the other (placing it in the same place in the "year" folder), but I wasn't sure if this would screw up the iPhoto database that I drop them into. I'm pretty sure that the "importing" process of getting photos into iPhoto involves more than just dropping photos in a folder.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Use iPhoto Library Manager as Terence suggested. It would work like this .
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.
