Most iPhotos now all on one roll

Greetings: Since my start with iPhoto, anytime I imported from my camera, it created a new roll---each time. Now, I note that that the numerous rolls are in one chronological mass, with no roll separation. That's from February of 2004 through July, 2007. Shortly after, and from then to now, any importing does segregate by film roll.
Do you know of any reason why the large, initial, grouping of 314 photos, encompassing three years, and at least a dozen rolls, are now one continuous series in the main Library when they were not for the first few years?
Thanks,
Tony

Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

A pop up asked to share my photos with my other devices came up and I clicked yes, now all my camera roll and photo stream pics have all disappeared?

A Pop up came up and asked if I wanted to share my photos with my other devices? I clicked yes and now all my camera roll and photo stream pics have all disappeared!! Well over 1000 pics??

What 'pop up' what did it actually say, and what were you doing when it said it,

My HP Pavilion All-in-One often shuts down during PC games.

My HP Pavilion All-in-One is just a year old. It shuts down more and more frequently with PC games like Age of Empires and Age of Titans, and the online game Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why and what I can do about it? The games were not from original disks and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Thanks

Linda, welcome to the forum.
It sounds like a heat problem to me. Most laptops and All-in-ones are frankly not meant for gaming. Also, you could try installing any patches that are available for the games. This could be part of the problem if not the heat.
Please let us know if this solves your problem or not.

My HP Pavilion All-in-One is a year old, and has started shutting down on certain PC games and on one online game, Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why or what I can do to prevent this? The games were not from original disks, don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. We have uninstalled them, but may buy originals if this would make any difference. Thanks

I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events. How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?

I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events. How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?
I have a macbook pro Version 8.1.2 and I am using Iphoto 09
I rebuilt library because many pics were black and now they are in one folder labeled "Recovered"

Do you have the original iPhoto Library (before you rebuilt it)?
If so, I suggest you rebuild it using iPhoto Library Manager, a program you can download. It does a better job of rebuilding. It also leaves your original intact and makes the rebuilt Library a new file (package).
If you don't have the original (say, from a backup), then you should probably first back up the library that you have before trying anything.
After making a backup of it, look along the left side, you will see Events and Photos. Is there anything in either of those areas?
If not, it sounds like all your photos were recovered and put in Recovered during the rebuild. iPhoto Library Manager might do a better job with this. In any case, if there are no photos in Events or in Photos, try selecting ~ 5 photos in Recovered and drag them to Photos. Do they then show up there with the correct dates? Do they also show up in Events after doing that? I am suggesting just a few photos before you try it with 20,000.
If the photos inside your "recovered" area are also in Photos, then don't do the above steps. I'm not sure I can help you if your 20,000 photos are in Photos but not Events. I'd try iPhoto Library Manager instead with its better rebuild.
If the 5 photos experiment works, then I would try it with ~ 200 photos at a time, going through your entire collection. You'll need to do this about 10 times if you really have 20,000 photos. Remember, don't do this if the "recovered" photos are already in "Photos."

Upgraded to Iphoto 9.5 now all my photos are in one event - Help please

I upgraded to iphoto 9.5.1 with the Mavericks update. Now all my photos (8,217) are in one event. I spent hours breaking them down into different events and now it's back to one. I tried repairing and rebuilding the database per other forum discussions but nothing changes.
I'd love some advice on how to re-organize the photos without having the manually recreate all the events.
Thank you!

Thank you. All my event headings are gone but at least it's separated by date.
I followed the instruction from some other discussion threads, held down option + command and tried the options to fix the library that way - it didn't make a difference.
Thank you for your help. Guess I better but everything in albums since those are still ok.

After I edited my contact list on my iphone I set up the icloud account. Now all of my old contacts have been added to the edited ones. If I delete the icould will I lose all of my contacts or just the ones brought in by icloud?

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported. If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

All my photos are now in just one event - how do I get them back?

Hi all,
New to iLife '08, just getting used to the new iPhoto and iMovie. Was trying to backup photos to an external hard drive (and I now realise doing it a stupid way) when it all went a bit wrong - think something went wrong with the external hard drive rather than macbook - and had to force quite and so on.
Wasn't too worried as I do already have a back up of everything, its just all in different places (so was trying to make one backup of everything), but when i opened iPhoto again all the events were gone.
All my photos appear to be there, but they're just in one event folder, which is kind of annoying. can anyone tell me the easiest way to fix this? Tried using the Autosplit Events thing but that splits everything into days, which isn't the way it was divided. Is there any way of getting them back to the way they were without going through it all manually and renaming and moving things? If I browse the files using finder (and Show Package Contents) they're all divided into the different folders they were in originally and the way I'd like them to be split into events, so I don't really understand. Any hints?
Apologies for the extended post.
Thanks!

Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the existing file.
or try
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.

Printing borderless 4 x 6 photos from iPhoto on HP C7280 All-In-One?

I'm trying to help a friend with a printing problem and can use some help.
My friend uses a Macbook Pro running the latest version of OSX. He has a Hewlett Packard C7280 All-In-One as his printer.
My friend Joe likes to print 4 x 6 borderless photos from iPhoto but can't seem to make it work. Each time he tries to print a 4 x 6 borderless photo the photo comes out on 8.5 x 11 paper. The filled photo paper tray does not engage. He has "told" the printer that he wants 4 x 6 borderless on photo paper by making the appropriate selections.
This problem does not occur if he prints the pictures using HP Printing Solutions, the photo management application that came with the printer. When he uses the HP application he gets what he wants, 4 x 6 borderless prints.
I suspect that there is some setting currently unknown to us that needs to be adjusted in either OSX or iPhoto to enable us to print 4 x 6 borderless pictures in the same way we can with the HP photo management application.
Can anyone help?
Thanks so much.

Hello John,
I don't have any HP, I use Canon, but if I give you the steps I need to take from iPhoto 09 to print borderless 4 x 6, then you may be able to apply this to your friends printer.
In the iPhoto 09 print dialog, I need to select:
Printer: Canon MP980
Presets: Photo on Photo Paper
Paper Size: 4"x6" (borderless)
Print Size: Borderless
Now when you press Print, the print dialog will appear. Here I have to select Presets again and set to Photo on Photo Paper. I then change the iPhoto menu to the Canon quality menus to set additional information about the image quality. Now it is ready to print.

I have many thousands of songs in my itunes library. Unfortunately, most are now pointing toward .jpgs instead of the m4a files in my itunes library. Is there anyway to fix this without reimporting all the files into itunes from scratch??

OMG...I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Since my computer is a goner, I don't have any other way to access all that music.

After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes are gone. Now I can't print.

After the recent iPhoto update, all my themes vanished so now i can't print. What the heck?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 and later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
