My iPhoto orders events in a wrong order

I don't know due to which glitch, but my events with new pictures taken in 2011 started appearing at the top of iPhoto browser - where oldest photos reside. It's pretty weird, as all events should appear at the bottom of iPhoto browser, together with other, recent events. So my iPhoto looks like this - first there are some events from 2004, then events from 2011, then events from 2004 until 2011 in a nice order. Does anyone knows how some of 2011 events ended up grouped with 2004? Is there a way to get rid of this?
Thanks a lot for advice, Don

event menu ==> sort events - pick your choice of sort order

How does iphoto order events?

How does iphoto arrange events for display purposes? It isn't alphabetically by title, it isn't chronologically by event creation date. I am baffled. If I know how they are ordered, I can move photos among events easier by renaming the events so they show up next to each other, then I can drag and drop photos in adjacent events without scrolling. Once I am finished, I can simply rename the events back to the original names. That would be the easiest way I have found to move photos around among events. I just can't figure out the riddle of how the events are ordered.

By default events are sorted by the date of the oldest photo in the event
Probably the easiest way to move photos is to flag the photos you want together and create an event from flagged photos
But generally it is best to just leave events in date/time order and use albums for detailed organization - and/or keywords and smart albums

TS1139 I'm trying to process my first iPhoto order and I can't get past the fact it won't accept my telephone number. Thinking this may be a format glitch, I have tried to get around this but no success. Any suggestions? Yours in frustration:( CW

I'm trying to process my first iPhoto order and I can't get past the fact it won't accept my telephone number. Thinking this may be a format glitch, I have tried to get around this by spacing but no success. I live in Australia and the prefix is +61. Any suggestions welcome? Yours in frustration:( CW

Experiment - or search these forums - someone discovered a solution and it was a format issue
The US format for phone numbers is 10 digits AAA-PPP-NNNN - you do not include the 01+ here typically - maybe if you can out your digites in that format it will work
Hopefully someone from down under will tell how they do it

Have you tried to search for your iPhoto Library via Spotlight?

HT1044 Will an iphoto order print with low quality warnings on it?

Will an iphoto order print with low quality warnings on it?

I think so but if you're orderikng large photos they may be a bit fuzzy depending on the pixel dimensions. What are the pixel dimensions of the image giving the warning and what size print are you ordering?
Here are the results of a print test that I ran. The pixel dimensions are the minimum that won't give a warning for the sizes shown:

Birds eye view of photos - like iPhoto's 'Events' view

I switched from iPhoto to Lightroom. I love Lightroom. That said, I really miss iPhoto's 'Events' view. I'd love to see a feature in Lightroom that matched it's ability to quickly survey all of your photos.
'Events' view shows one image for each event (e.g. day or shoot; you can choose which image this is). When you mouse over an event photo it acts like a little flipbook - moving your cursor from left to right flips through all the images in the event in order. When you grab the scroll bar the date will show while your scrolling to make it easy to know when to stop.
I'm not suggesting that Lightroom copy this exactly (though that wouldn't be bad) but that there be some sort of way of looking at my whole collection of photographs at once without having to see every photo.
The closest thing in Lightroom is accomplished by treating stacks like iPhoto events. Doing this I can open the Photos folder to show my entire library and choose to collapse all stacks. Mind you, that's only a workaround. I'd love to see a new way of viewing the Library.

Cloning the JPanel seems the wrong approach to me. If I were you I would separate the model (the data you represent in your UI) from the view (the UI components you use to display the data). So, if you want to duplicate your JPanel (view) you would just create a new one from your existing data model. With that approach, your problem becomes more or less trivial.
Google for MVC, to get you started on different ways of structuring your UI application.Good advice, better stated than in my feeble attempts in these cross-posts:

Problem viewing selected iPhoto video event full screen in iMovie.

How do I view selected iPhoto video full screen as an event in iMovie? It always plays the last import instead. I did follow the instructions, but that does not work.

Adrian...
I'm having the same problem!!!! Mine use to sort from new to old and it changed for some reason?
I spoke to apple care and they said it mimics the iphoto order... but it doesn't... I've tried everything, including reversing assending and decending in iphoto.
Like you said, it seems trivial... but it is a pain to scroll to the bottom for everything!
Someone help us
Thanks.

IPhoto '08: Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Gallery & Slideshows ???

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08 and I am confused.
I must admit I used iPhoto before to look at my pictures but I never bothered with any albums or slideshows or whatever, but now with more and more pictures I need to organize.
So this new iPhoto comes with all sorts of way to organize such as Events, (Smart) Albums, Web Galleries & Slideshows. Quiet frankly I am LOST as to what to use when or for what ???
Okay I can get Web Galleries is for posting on the .mac as a gallery. Why did they do this again if you iWeb that creates photo pages???? Why is this not integrated in iWeb????
Now moving on. What's the difference between Events, (Smart Albums) and Slideshows. They seem to be ways to organize your photos. BUT why have THREE of them? When to use which one?
Any help or comment appreciated as I am confused ....

Events, Smart Albums, Albums and slideshows are different. Here is a short explanation of each:
Events= Every time you import photos from your camera or via drag & drop a new Event is created. This is the basic (automatic) way that iPhoto organizes your photos. Events are date based and can be split or merged based on your preferences. For example, you go to a birthday party and take a few photos, a few days later you go to a picnic and take a few photos. When you import the images, iPhoto will split the pictures into two distinct events. (Check The iPhoto Preferences/Events for some options).
Albums= These are containers that you create to easily group photos in any way you prefer (ex. Combine photos from a couple of holiday parties into one album). You can drag and drop photos in Albums. When you delete a photo in an Album it does not get deleted from the main library. Albums contain links to the photos, not the actual photos. You can manually re-order the photos in an Album. It is always a good idea to create an Album first, edit and re-order your photos there and then create a slideshow, book or web gallery from the Album.
Smart Albums= These are Albums you create that have specific rules, they automatically get updated every time a photo meets the specific set of rules. Smart Albums (SA) can have one or more rules. ex. You have 2 different cameras and you automatically want to see the photos captured by each camera. You create 2 Smart Albums that contain the Rule = Camera Model > is > Nikon D40 (or whatever). Next time you import photos from that camera, the SA will show these photos automatically. (Note: These are links, but if you delete an image, unless you delete it permanently it will re-appear in the SA, as long as it still has the required value of the SA. You can sort by Keyword, Ratings etc using Smart Albums, and you can have multiple sort rules, like Keyword = Birthday and Rating is 5 stars.
Slideshows= iPhoto has 2 types of slideshows available. The first is the "quick" slideshow. You can select any Album or Smart Album click on the Play button, set the transition select the music and you are ready to go. The 2nd type, the Cinematic Slideshow, are albums created specifically as Slideshows. They contain photos you selected and you want to see on your screen in a slideshow presentation. You can set specific transitions between slides, set individual slide times, select music and specify where the Ken Burns effect will start in a slide and where it will end. They are more elaborate than the Quick slideshows.
Web Galleries = are a quick way to share photos with friends, you just select the Photos and click on the Web Gallery button. You set some basic options and publish. Visitors get to see the photos in 3-4 different views including a slideshow, but you can also allow the viewers to add photos to your web gallery. Every time you add a new photo to a web gallery album in iPhoto, it will update the web site when you click the little publish icon next to the name. You can also set tan option to make this happen at specific intervals. (Check the iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery).
I hope this answered some of your questions. Good luck.

IPhoto '08 - Events + Slideshow issues

Just got my first Mac and generally delighted, but when I started using iPhoto it was great, then for some reason reason(finger trouble maybe), some of my events went from rolling previews of the photos in there, to to a plain black cover. This is not happening with all of the Events. Likewise, when I start up the Slideshow, I can only see a black screen , and the music plays fine. I have cross checked settings with a friend of mine, an absolute "mac head", and everything seems fine.
Any ideas out there?

Greetings from rainy County Clare.
Sounds like your database has been corrupted I'm afraid.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. 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 damaged file.
2. 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 back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Regards

IPhoto 11 Event Date Question

I have a question about iPhoto 11 events. My camera was set to the wrong date for part of an event. I went in and did a batch change of the time and date of the affected photos. However, the date range beneath the title of the event still has the old erroneous date, and the event gets sorted by this date range. Is there a way to go in and change that date range under the title of the event? I go to the event and click on info, and the event shows the correct date range for the pics, but it is not changing the date range under the title. Thanks for any help in advance.

Thank you - I had the same problem and found your helpful answer. However, this is actually a work around to a bug in iPhoto - it's not how the Apple Support pages say it works and common sense says that if you change all the dates in an event it should sort to the right place without being re-created. Can you help me with one more thing - how do I bring this to Apple's attention so that they fix it in a future release?
Thanks again for the help.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

How are you "sorting photos in events"?
Typically you use albums for organization - like sorting
