Open Event at First Photo

Is there a way to tell iPhoto to always open Events (after a double-click on them) at the first photo of a particular event? Right now, when I double-click an Event it opens at the Key Photo of the thumbnail which, at least in my case, is usually somewhere in the middle of an Event and I have to scroll all the way up at the beginning of the Event....

1 - make the key photo the first photo of the event
or 2 - hold your mouse over the event and move to the left until the first photo shows - then double lick to open the event

First photo in event has wrong place

When you assign a place to an entire event, the first photo of the event will retain the LAST place assigned at a prior time. If you open up the event and click on a photo you will see the wrong place flash on the into window and then settle back to the right place. So you must open each event you assign a place and just select any photo. It will then be correct for all photos.

This was driving me nuts! Thanks for posting the fix.

Syncing photos from Aperture, only first photo in one Event

When I sync photos from Aperture to iPad I find all the photos in "Photo" but only the first photo under "Events". The same happens with iPod touch and Photos in iWeb.
Where is the setting for getting all the photos in one particular event? The photos have been transferred to iPad but not to the Events with the exception of the first one. When I click on an Event in Aperture the particular Event opens with all the photos contained.

Can someone help me with this?

I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

iPhoto 08?
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. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* 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.

Can not open Events photos in iPhoto 9.5.1

can not open Events photos in iPhoto 9.5.1

We need detaoils
What does show for the ones that do not have the picture?
Is is an ! - if do
This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
this can be caused by two things
1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2 or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the iPhoto library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you did them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of any "clean up software" ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - If it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - repair permissions and then rebuild your database

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

I'm looking for an answer to this, too, since I have thousands of Events, and so scrolling down to the bottom every time I want to show my newest photos makes it almost unusable.

Why do you need to access your email? To reset the password?
If you're trying to change the password, you don't need to go to your email. If you know the answers to your security questions, you can reset it without using an email, as explained in the first section of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787.

Events folders display photo that is not the actual photo file

When I open an event file, the photos displayed are not the actual photos. For instance, in the event "Graduation," I now have random photos of my daugher's dance recital displayed, but when I open them, the photos are indeed of graduation. So, I can't see what photos are in an event until I open each photo file There is no rhyme or reason to what photos randomly pop up on the surface, and it doesn't happen with all the files within an event, just some. Please tell me someone else has had a similar problem as it is making me feel a bit batty!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Events missing and photos in new iPhoto update

Events missing and photos in new iPhoto update

Moments are the new Events. All of your events in iPhoto are not Moments in Photo and were also brought over as an album. Open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination and look in the folder titled "iPhoto Events". There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

Unknown events in the photos app

After Install 5.1 there are unknown events in the photos app like 137imprt or 138imprt and so on. Is there a way to delete them, I already delete all pctures in this folders.

I found this work arround:
first I opened the empty folder, than I added one (old) picture in this folder, opened the picture, deleted this picture - and then disappeared not only this picture even the folder!

Cannot merge two event together in Photo 1.0 Version

I remember it was possible to merge two events by simple drug-n-drop in previous version.
Why it's not possible to do in new Photo 1.0 Version?
Is there any workarounds? Events management became simply impossible.

Moments are the new Events. However, all of your iPhoto Events have been brought over as albums and are located in the folder titled "iPhoto Events".
First open the sidebar with the View ➙ Show Sidebar menu option:
To merge Album/Event A into Album/Event B open A. Select all of the photos in it and drag onto the Album B icon in the sidebar. Verify that B has all of the photos and delete Album A.
Granted it's not as easy as iPhoto but that's what we're left with. Along those same lines there's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder

Unable to open event

i have an event with lots of projects on an external drive which fcpx 10.0.4 refuses to open.
the size of the event is about 800 gb, digitalized vhs-tapes, the work of the last weeks…
when i doubleclick it, fcpx opens it at first, but when the startup window comes to "loading compressor support" i can watch the spinning wheel of death and fcpx hangs up, i have to shut it down.
when i open fcpx via the program-icon, it opens but doesn't show the external drive with my project. it is still on my desktop, when i try to open the event by doubleklicking it - with fcpx open - fcpx says "event cannot be opened". the same with the event in the backup-folder and in the "old versions"-folder.
i made a copy of the external drive (1 tb) and tried the same with the new one, same issue, cannot open event.
one external drive is fw 800, the other usb.
i made a few restarts, i repaired permissions, i deleted preferences (both fcpx and compressor), i used onyx, i reset the power manager, i deleted the last project i made in the event as this may have caused the trobles, still the same.
the work of the last weeks is in danger, i'm worried to lose the projec, any idea is appreciated.
thank you,
wolfgang

hi,
maybe its getting lost in translation, but I'm not understanding quite what you are saying. You say uyou have Projects in an Event? Projects and Events will always be in separate folders and shoukdnt be together.
You cannot open an event or project by double clicking its icon. Rather you boot fcpx by clicking the applicaiton icon. When its opening the application then looks at all your hard drives and looks for the folders 'Final Cut Events" and for Final Cut Projects'. These must be at the root level of your drives ( or in your Movies Folder on the drive where your User account is) or it wont find them.
There have been some other reports here of events and projects not loading on drives that have folders called "video". There might be some other things that cuase it to hang. If you can move all other folders on your external drive into something else just temporarily, and make sure Final Cut Events and Final Cut Projects are visible. Then boot fcpx and see what happens

IPad mini is slow when opening an image in photos

I Have an iPad mini (wifi) and its slow when opening an image on photos. It takes 20 seconds to open a single image.
I tried exporting my pictures to a usb and only stayed with 1,008 pictures.
I Don't know what to do it worked fine when I first got it but this started to happen a year ago I'm stuck and don't know what to do.

Greetings casielfromchula vista,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing slowness. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:

Events not Showing Photos

Really weird behaviour. iPhoto shows all my Events in the Events browser. It shows how many photos in each, and if I scrub the event I see the thumbnails of each of the pictures. However if I open the Event there are no photos displayed. Hitting 'i' shows me the event details and tell sme how many photos there are, but still won't dsplay them.
However.... once I have done that, the last opened Event is listed under 'Recent' and if I click on it from there it opens with all the photos intact; this is the only way I can now open Events and see the photos therein.
Any ideas? I'm on Lion and the latest version if iPhoto. Have 11,000+ photos in approx 400 events.
Thanks,
David

I've discovered that the same library opened in APerture, displays events as it should, but iPhoto still doesn't. Makes no sense to me.
I have loaded a time machine backup of the library where the event behaviour is fine, but this is missing two events (circa 400 photos). I know I can export the missing photos from the 'defunct' event and then re-import, but I think I lose all Faces information if I do that. Is that right? Having tagged all the photos with faces I don't really fancy doing this again.
Don't understand why the library works in Aperture but not iPhoto?

Iphoto 09 open event from picture after search

ok so if I search iphoto 09 by a particular word and find a picture, I can sometimes see the picture is part of an event that has other pictures, but how do I show the whole event? Drives me mad eg If I search for 'tv' I can get a picture (see link below) & see there are 60 other pictures in the folder. However if I right click I can't see any suitable choice to open the entire event. If I double click the event or picture it does nothing if I'm in the situation I show below. (The preferences are set that double click would open event it says). The double-click does open the event if I am looking overall at all the events (ie haven't searched by keyword). I don't have 'show event' as an option when right clicking either (I keep seeing references to this when googling)
eg I click on 'Events' top left (so all events are visible on the main screen) then search for 'tv' in the search box, it displays as above eg I can see there are 60 pictures within that event, yet if I right-click there is no 'Show Event' option. Show event is not even a greyed out option.

Hello mook,
So if I understand:
1.) The goal is to restore the iPhoto Library from a point before the issues started happening
2.) When you try to go backwards in Time Machine while inside the iPhoto window you get a blank Library when you get to the date range you want.
What to do:
- As you cannot seem to access the iPhoto contents using the iPhoto window I would suggest the following:
1.) Navigate using the Finder to ~/Pictures (or whatever folder you are currently housing your iPhoto Library in)
2.) Rename the current iPhoto Library to something else (Like iPhoto Library Old etc)
3.) While looking at this Pictures window, activate Time Machine and go back in time to a date when YOU ARE SURE iPhoto was working fine and had the images you want
4.) Click on the iPhoto Library in the Time Machine window and click on Restore
-- This will restore the Library from the date in question
-- You will have 2 libraries once the restore is complete. The freshly restored library and the old library. Keep the old library just for safe keeping until such time as you determine you have all the pictures you want. Then you can do whatever you want with it (trash it, etc)
Hope that helps.
