Naming clips so that events are sorted by clip dates

I have some dv-avi clips that I've imported using my old PC. I now import those clips in iM. To get the events sorted correctly by date/time I change the name to a format that iM interprets as date/time stamp (e.g. clip-2007-12-24 12;00;00.dv). iM then sorts the clip correctly by date and time.
The problem is, I have to change the extension also, from avi to dv. For some reason the clip won't play any more after that. If I retain the old extension, the clip plays fine but is not sorted correctly under iM events.
Any workaround?

If I change the extension to .mov, iM does not allow me to even try to import the clip (it is grayed). Strange.
If I change the extension to .dv, iM does allow me to import the clip, but the video does not play. I am almost certain this method has worked before. Maybe something has changed with the updates of OS X or iM.
I guess I could use MPEG Streamclip to export the clips as DV. I just wonder if it somehow converts the clips too (so I loose quality).

Events are not grouped by date

Recently I had a crash on my iPhoto and had to basically re-input all 60,000 photos. All went well and iPhoto working okay now. Only issue is the events are not grouped by date anymore. meaning I have several events that are on the same date. All the setting appear to be correct.
Is there a way to have iPhoto regroup the events all by date?

The only way to sort events is the view menu --> sort events - Using it you can re-sort events a few ways
Events are not categorized so there is no way to "re-categorize" them
What you need to do is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library from before the crash that caused you to import your masters folder into iPhoto
And probably if you had rebuild the library after the crash you would have been OK - 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 -- this will not help on the new library that you created - it has to be done on the bad library that resulted from the crash

Photo sort in an event. Why, once in an event, view, sort, by title, is the event not saved that way.

Hi,
Have driven myself bonkers trying to sort this out. I'm scanning old pix, their creation date will be the date they are scanned. I put them into an event and needless to say they are all out of order. No probs, once in the event you are given the option to sort by date, title etc. So having put them in already numbered I use the sort by title. It works until you leave iphoto, when you return they are out of order, it seems to default to Date. So, I use the batch adjust to adjust date/time and it works but only seems to work if the whole of the event is done this way.
We recently celebrated our 60th B'day, pix taken on 4 different cameras, one with an incorrect date time setting have proved very difficult to sort. Despite altering the date time from the poorly set camera to achieve correct time order it will not get into order. Do you have to change every pix time in an event to get proper results? We like the way events are shown (pic) rather than the list with Albums. Also our kids bought us an Apple TV which we really like and for us ol' Duffers the pix presentation of the events is for us far more pleasing. I've read several similar threads here and it would appear I'm barking up the wrong tree as, if I've read it correctly events are always going to default to Date. Any help much appreciated.... thanks Victa

In iPhoto '11 you set the event sort under the event meno ==> sort events. Unless you have a problem it will stay thay way until you change it either using the sort events command or changing it to manual by manually moving an event (which I have accidentally done from time to time requiring me to reset my desired sort)
Your question 2 is not clear. As noted events are sorted by the oldest photo in the event
You next comment makes no sense at all
As to telling Apple how to implement their software, this is certainly not the place to do that. This is strictly a user to user forum and Apple is not here. Frankly as a consumer you need to pick products you like and use them. Do you try to tell Sony what they should do with their TVs? GM what to do with cars? Etc. if you like the product use it. Millions do and as a result of their decisions Apple is the largest company ever. If you don't like the product then don't use it. If you really are so much smarter than Apple then start your own company and put them out if business with your brilliant products

When new events are added they are not in chronilogical order. How do I fix this?

Whenever I would add new photos to my library, the new event would be created in chronological order ... oldest to newest. To my knowledge I made no changes in my set-up, but now the newest event is created immediately before the oldest event. In other words it will be listed first not last. How can i change this so that events are listed in order. (At this point I simply drag the event to the proper location.) The only thing that is different now than any previous file is that some files are now in RAW format instead of JPEG. I am using iPhoto '11; version 9.4.3.
Thanks,
Peter

ICal events are imported in the wrong calendar

Hello,
I'm using iCloud for business as a temporary solution before moving to a more professional and stable tool.
Still, I'm confronted with annoying problems that are just making my work more difficult.
I'm posting here hoping that somebody would find or has a solution.
I have two iCloud calendars owned by me plus three more shared with me by colleagues.
The two owned by me are: Work and MeetingRoom, with the former being set as the default (both in the Calendar app preferences and in the iCloud Calendar web interface).
I'm trying to accept an invite to a meeting received from a non-iCloud user.
The invite came in the form of an .ics attachment to the email.
When doubleclicking on the attachment, Calendar app opens and an event entry colored in gray is created in the MeetingRoom calendar instead of my default one, which is Work.
What is the purpose of setting a calendar as default when the setting is ignored?
Thanks
Sergio

Thanks. I Think I've figured it out: there was a music file in the same project with an earlier creation date. When I transferred the recent footage to a new event, the new event displayed correctly, as a 2015 event.
This is stretching my old brain, but I think I'm slowly learning that Events are not bins!

On iPod, podcasts are sorting oddly

I recently updated my OS from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. My iTunes is the latest version. My iPod is as up to date as it can get. (Just to set the stage.)
In iTunes, I have all my podcasts arranged in a number of smart playlists, and all of those playlists are sorted by release date, oldest to newest. And on the iPod, this is also how they showed up. Until the last couple of days, I've had no problems. Suddenly, since I updated to Mountain Lion, although iTunes still shows the correct sorting, in my smart playlists on the iPod, the podcasts are arranged randomly. I can not figure out what order they're being sorted in, but it certainly isn't by release date, alphabetically by title, author, or album, and it isn't by size.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a solution? I listen to a lot of podcasts that are release-date-sensitive, and I have always listened to them in chronological order. Now...I have no idea what order it's going to present them in.

It has also decided that it just isn't going to sync a couple of my smart playlists. There are podcasts in those lists in iTunes, but when I sync my iPod, those lists simply aren't copied. Every playlist is checked on the Podcasts tab, and the podcasts that are in those smart lists show up in OTHER smart lists (I sometimes listen to them differently, depending on how much time I have).
For example, I have a smart playlist called "All Podcasts" which just presents them to me in chronological order. Then I have one smart playlist for everything under five minutes long, one for everything under 10 (but more than 5), everything under 15 (but more than 10), and so on. A couple of podcasts show up under "All Podcasts" but not under the > 30 < 45 list or the > 45 < 60 list.
Bizarre. I can't figure out what it's doing and how to fix it.

Table.Maint.Gen-- Events are only for DB tables? not for views?

Hi,
Are the events in Table.Maint.Gen only for DB tables? not for views? because I have written the logic in events of Table.Maint.Gen of a view but it is not getting executed.

Hi,
1.Yes,The events are only for the Data Base tables ,not for the Views.

Sorting photos by date/time taken, when date/time created is not an option?

I'm so sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I can't find it on Google or in the forums...
I need to sort wedding photos from multiple photographers by date taken so I can sort through the wedding as a full event. Sorting by the date/time the file was created will not suffice because I had to convert all photos from one of my photogs from NEF to DNG (D610 files not compatible with CS5), so the 'date created' for those DNG file is days later than all the other images. Thus, sorting by "date created' batches all the photos from one of my photogs together at the end.
Is there any option in Bridge that will actually read the metadata and sort by the shoot time of the image?
Thanks for any help!

There has been a known bug in PSE9 although only affecting raw images and caused by the Camera Raw 6.4 update. The timestamp gets changed by one hour each time an image is modified. I don’t know if your issue is related but the work around is to revert to ACR 6.3
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/915/cpsid_91582.html
The only other work around is to temporarily switch to folder location view, if your images were imported from a single folder. Click on the display button (near top right in Organizer) to change the browser view. If you click on the folder in the left hand pane the files will normally be in sequential file name order which usually mirrors the date/time taken. From the folder location it’s possible to create an instant album, which can then be used as the basis of a slideshow.

Is it possible to sort folders by date that is written in the folders name? eg. folders are named 26 May 2011 and so on

Hi,
Question as in the topic: Is it possible to sort folders by date that is written in the folders name? eg. folders are named 26 May 2011 and so on
Thanks

I sort mine 5.1.11, 5.2.11, etc. - that works (adding letters to the numerals does not work as well). Starting with the month will also work better because there are only 12 of them (rather than a repetition of days).

HT4221 I really want my Apple TV, iPad and iPhone to sort them in date taken like in iPhoto on my iMac. How do I do that? Sorting on date modified seems so stupid to me, why would anyone need this? Date taken gives a timeline in your event.

The unix commands you need are:
GetFileInfo
SetFileInfo
and maybe find
for cryptic details use the man command
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
man SetFileInfo
You may use the SetFileInfo command to set the file type & the program which will open the file.

Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
Are they there?

Look at your iphoto 'page'. On the left is a margin running vertically down the page and within that margin are shown your files/folders - e.g 'events', I can't get that margin contents back

Look at your iphoto 'page'.
On the left is a margin running vertically down the page and within that margin are shown your files/folders - e.g 'events', 'last 12 months', 'anniversary' etc etc.
Now visualize the 'page' but WITHOUT the margin and the entries in it. It just disappeared while I was editing photos.
I've tried all the 'File', 'Edit', 'View', 'Share' 'Window' & 'Help' options, but no success.
There is no apparent way of calling up onto the screen any photos, folders etc. because I can't get the margin and its contents back onto the iphoto page.
I've tried restoring the page from my backup, where it is all perfect, but that didn't work.
Help please!

Move your cursor to the extreme left hand side of the iPhoto Window until it turns into a '+' and then click and drag right.

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.0.1. My Calendar sometime shows "No Calendars" but now that's all I can get. My events are still in iCloud. What should I do

I recently upgraded my iphone 4S to ios 6.0.1. Then my iphone calender sometimes would show "No Calenders" but closing and re opening a few times would get my calender and events back. Now it only shows No Calenders. I noticed in my settings that the icloud backup is turned off. If I turn that on will my calender come back? My events are still in my calender on the icloud website. Any help appreciated.

I have good news!! I was waiting until I had adequate time to try this recommended fix in case I had any problems with it. Then I decided to enter a new event in my Calender even tho it was showing "No Calenders". As soon as I entered the new event my whole Calender came back! Yeeaaa! I hope this helps someone with the same problem.

Merging two linked lists of integers that are sorted

hey guys,
i need to write a method to merge two linked lists of integers that are sorted into ascending order. the results should be a third linked list that is the sorted combination of the original lists.
can someone help me start this? Basically, the method will be taking in two sorted linked lists of integers and merge them into one big sorted linked list.
Im just looking to get some algorithm ideas and maybe one or two lines of pseudocode to get me started.
thanks

i can't destroy the original lists so im gonna need
to create a new sorted list. then since both of the
lists im using are sorted, i'll just have to copy one
of them into the new list i created. Then i will get
an item from the unused list and search that node in
the new copied list and insert in appropriate
position using the two Nodes...example(prev and
curr).That can work. I'd probably do it by initializing a new list and compare the first items in each of the original lists, inserting the smaller in my new list and advancing to the next element in the original list from which I took the item, repeating the process until I copied each item from both original lists. Don't forget to take into account that you will reach the end of one list before the other.

I have the same proble. In all views all day events don't show up. If I search for the event, there is a result but it does not appear in the calendar.
