Missing events when importing

I have a corrupted iPhoto library so I exported all 64,000 photos to a folder on the desktop.  I then created a new iPhoto library and imported them all back in.  When done, they are all in one event - not split by day correctly.  I checked preference settings and they are correct.
I've deleted the .plist file as well and then started again (new library, import) but still only shows one event for all 64,000 photos.
Any ideas?

Correct - exporting and reirting loses a lot including organization
You should have repaired your corrupted library - restore a backup of it and Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
Shot of that your remaining option its select the big event and use the autosplie selected event command

  • Why are missing items when import pst files to Outlook 2011 for mac?

    Hello.
    After installing Office 2011 for Mac I configured Outlook and it was allright.
    But when I tried to import a pst file from the old laptop who has Office 2007, I found that in the Outlook 2011 Inbox I have only ~60% items comparative with the Outlook 2007 Inbox.
    From Microsoft Office forums I've got an answer that there are indeed some reports with missing items when import pst in Outlook 2011 but the solution they gave me (create folders in Inbox before import) doesn't work.
    Do you know something about this kind of problems?
    Is it a feature in Outlook 2011 which automaticaly select/delete/combine items based on the similarity between them or based something else?
    Have you an ideea how to finally use this macbook and in the same time all my old emails?
    Thanks.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in. 
    I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
    Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

  • How to prevent iPhoto to make an automatic event when importing from Photo stream

    Hi everyone,
    My question is related to the Photo stream functionality in iPhoto.
    Is possible to prevent iPhoto from making an automatic event when I import a photo from Photo stream. It is really annoying because of the fact that I use "events" for keeping my important photo's together (as many of you do I asume). Ofcourse after importing I can just delete it from my event section but is there a way to prevent it?
    Thanks.

    No. Photostream creates an Event for each month.
    iPhoto has many other tools for managing and categorising your Photos.
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Missing photos when importing from a Fuji s602zoom digital camera

    I noticed that when I import the photos from my digital camera (as above), sometimes there are some missing. No error messages displayed and the import seems to finish OK.
    This makes life difficult as I cannot now trust iPhoto and have to check every import.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Neville:
    On those occasions where the camera drops some photos are there any movies on the card?
    A workaround is to use Image Capture to upload either to a folder on the Desktop first or directly into iPhoto. It's not recommended that you have iPhoto erase the card after import as there have been too many cases, yours for one, that have incomplete uploads and complete erasures.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Debug Event when importing HDV footage

    In short:
    When I try to import HDV footage into a project (.mpeg format),
    I receive the following message:
    Premiere Pro Debug Event
    premiere pro has encountered an error.
    [..\..\src\time.cpp-105]
    Subsequently premiere fails to import the files...
    I first noticed this problem last week, so I thought it might
    be related to a product update. But even when uninstalling Premiere
    Pro and re-installing it (thus being version 3.0) the problem
    still exists. Updating to 3.2 doesn't solve the issue either.
    Does anyone recognize this issue?
    regards,
    Reinout van Schie

    Perhaps
    this?
    Cheers

  • IMovie deletes my projects and event when importing another video!!!

    I was working on an iMovie project and was just importing a file and it did not import, but then iMovie deleted all my projects and events. I then found the projects and events saved in Finder but they will not open. When I clicked on them it opened iMoviebut will not open the projects. How do I fix this and get my projects and events back on iMovie?

    I would try trashing your Preferences files. For full instructions, see this link.

  • Missing events when searching Calendar

    I am using Mountain Lion (10.8.5).
    I entered an event on 13 January, 2015, and set it to repeat weekly until 24 March. All eleven are shown in Calendar, and all of them sync to my iPhone. But when, in Month view on the Mac, I type the events' name into the search field, the first 5 of them are not shown in the list in the right-hand sidebar.
    Moreover they appear normal on screen until I search, but if the found events (not including the first 5) are displayed in the side-bar as a result of searching, these same five appear very pale in the Month view.
    I reset the PRAM (twice, in fact) and also wanted to try resetting Open Firmware, but the instructions that I had obtained some time ago (as below) did not work.
    Reset Open Firmware.  Instructions for doing this are as follows:
    --a--  Start up the computer while holding down Command (Apple), Option,
    "O", and "F" keys.
    --b--  At the command prompt type "reset-nvram", without the quotes,
    then hit the return key.
    --c--  At the prompt type "reset-all", without the quotes, then hit the
    return key.  The machine should reboot.
    I should be very grateful for advice; the failure of the Search facility is quite serious.

  • Missing events when i try to upload to the web

    I just uploaded 2 events to iphoto 09, they are in iphoto and i can send the photos to facebook, but only through iPhoto. when i try to find the events to upload them to snapfish or even to just add them to an e-mail they are no where to be found. how can i fix this problem, the events and photos are n my computer but i cannot upload them because when i search for them they do not appear....

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Missing stars when importing edited images from Bridge - why?

    Why do my previously rated images from Bridge appear without the stars after conversion to DNG and importation into Lightroom? I am having to use the "Update DNG Preview and Metadata" under the Metadata menu to see the stars again. I thought with CS3 and Lightroom 1.3 metadata between Bridge and Lightroom automatically shows up?

    It works on my system.
    (Rated in Bridge Content Tab by clicking on Star Rating on bottom of thumbnail frame.
    Went to Lightroom, Import Photos from Disk; chose "Copy photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and import", chose a folder to "Copy to" etc.
    The photos appeared in Lightroom with Star Ratings on Thumbnail frames and in the metadata panel.
    I used Bridge CS3 V2.1.1.9, Lightroom V1.3.1 on Windows XP Pro SP2.)

  • Missing events when syncing iPhone 5 running 7.0.6 to Macbook running os 10.6.8

    I have ios 7.0.6 on my iphone 5. I've noticed recently since the update that the events on my iPhone Calendar does not all sync to iCal on my MacBook running os 10.6.8. Some syncs, but a lot don't (and not calendar-specific either).  I tried rebooting and syncing again, manual back up, selecting one calendar and syncing one and a time, but none worked.  How do I fix this, and is there a way to make my iPhone calendar over-write the calendar in iCal?

    I should mention that I am syncing with USB and not iCloud because I don't want my info on iCloud.  Thanks!!

  • When importing tracks from a CD to iTunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported or shown on the list. How can I import the missing three?

    When importing tracks from a CD to ITunes, only 10 of the 13 songs are imported. How can I display and import the missing three? Thanks.

    It depends on eaxactly what is wrong with the old laptop. If you're lucky the drive can be extracted and connected to a new computer to extract the data. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • When importing iPhoto doesn't create events

    When importing picutres to iphoto it used to create events, now it all goes into pictures and no events are created automatically nor do I have I option of create event manually. Please help

    Right click on any photo in Photos and select 'Show Event' and you'll be brought to the Event containing the pic.
    Events and Photos re both views of the same Library - think of them as different windows to the same room.
    So if a photo is in Photos, then it's in Events too.
    Usual reason for this is that the Event is not where you expect it to be - because you've a different sort or a the date is incorrect.

  • Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

    Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

    The events may be incorrectly sorted. Try to sort the events by date, while in "Events" view.
    Go to the "View" menu: Sort Photos > By Date > Descending. That should bring the most recent events to the top of the list.

  • Why does iCal change the time of my events when I import my schedule? PLEASE HELP

    When importing my schedule (from my school website, week by week), I had no problem in September.  Now, something must be screwed up in my iCal, because the same documents are importing 3-4 hours behind my current time zone (Atlantic).  Atlantic time is specified in the files, so it isn't that.  This happens in the guest user as well.
    I turned off time zone support (I feel as though this is what made it stop working, as the default was off and I turned it on around the time it stopped working).  It still doesnt work even with time zone turned off and the time on my computer is set manually (instead of automatically detecting it).  Also, I tried to find the preference file in my library>preferences, but it didn't exact... not one single com.apple.ical plist file in there!!! It seems to work fine from my iphone EXCEPT it creates 2 events for each single event (at the same time) which is rather annoying.
    Anyone know/have any ideas on how to fix this??

    Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway
