Opening iPhoto 11- Event Tab defaults to "middle" of range.

This is a rather esoteric question about the Events tab that I hope I am capable of explaining.
When first starting iPhoto '11, then clicking the Events tab, the window opens with you somewhere in the middle of the entire events timeline instead of towards the bottom where your most recent events are. It was a UI preference I liked in earlier versions of iPhoto. You start iPhoto, click Events, and you're automatically at the "bottom" of the scroll; i.e. at your most recent events. I've not found a way for iPhoto '11 to default the Event opening window to the most recent events, its always somewhere in the "middle", which requires me to manually scroll down to the bottom.
Does anyone know how to fix this so my Events tab always opens near the most recent events?

They aren't. This forum is a space for Users to talk to other Users about technical issues. Apple don't promise to read anything here. It's all explained in the Terms of Use.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to the Developers.

  • Opening iPhoto - Library defaults to "middle" of range

    This is a rather esoteric question about the library that I hope I am capable of explaining.
    When first starting iPhoto 9.1.1 527 (iLife 11), the window opens with you somewhere in the middle of the entire library instead of towards the top where your most recent events are. It was a UI preference I liked in earlier versions of iPhoto. You start iPhoto and you're automatically at the "top" of the scroll; i.e. at your most recent events. I've not found a way for iPhoto 9 to default the library opening window to the most recent events, it's always somewhere in the "middle", which requires me to manually scroll down to the top.
    Does anyone know how to fix this so my events tab always opens near the most recent events?

    Deleting the pref file is the first step.  It can be corrupted at any time.  So next, make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab, but I have this option checked?

    I have two issues since upgrading to FF4. The first issue is, when I click on a bookmark it will not automatically open in a new tab. I do have this option checked in my preferences, but it will not work. The second issue is when I search in the Google box, I cannot click on the auto search option.

    Bookmarks always open in the current tab unless you middle-click or use Ctrl + left-click to open the bookmarks in a new tab just like you do with other links.
    There are extensions that can change that behavior.

    On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

  • How do I make it the default that when I click on a link it will open in a new tab?

    Particularly when I am doing a Google search, but also when I am in a site, I find I frequently have to right click and force 'open in a new tab' to avoid the link overriding the current tab. I want to have all links I click on automatically open in a new tab. My settings are set to go to the new tab immediately - that works fine - but too often I have to immediately back-page and re-click using the right-click menu to avoid losing my search or origin page. This is annoying when there are several links I want to explore, and have to backtrack to get to them.
    Firefox is my default browser, 29.0.1 at the moment, and it runs on an old Dell laptop using WinXP. Before asking this I did check the available support info without finding an answer. I followed the instructions in the article about Google and the about:config but it did no good - it still defaults to opening in the current tab. It might seem like a small thing but in my search for answers I saw some folks who have the reverse problem - they want links to open in the same tab - so clearly it is a settings issue. How do I fine tune mine to get the result I prefer? Thanks!!

    Google search and other websites have a user preference that can be set to open a search result in a new tab or a new window, for users who are logged in to their website.
    Otherwise, when you don't have a 3-button mouse or a scroll pad with "middle-click" functionality, you can use '''{Ctrl + Click}''' to open a hyperlink in a new Tab.

    I have 15000 photos in my 1Phooto library in 58 events. I have also made 27 slide shows from some of these events. When opening iPhoto, the photoscome up slmost instantly but the side bar seems to take forever to come up.  Is there s limit to the amount of photos yu can have or to the amount if items in the side bar?

    Try this basic troubleshooting technique:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - reboot
    4 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Can I make opening links in new tabs the default?

    I know I can open links in a new tab by right-click and choose open link in new tab. Is there a way to make this method the default choice so I don't have to right click? I use windows 7

    Click using the middle button on the link.

  • Is there a way to get Thunderbird to default open to the calendar tab?

    I realize that if Thunderbird is closed in the calendar tab it will open in the same tab next time I just wonder if I am missing some setting that would always default to Thunderbird opening to the calendar tab without my having to close it from that tab?
    Thank you for any insight you might have

    I only have mail and calendar tabs so switching is not a problem it's more a problem of "out of sight out of mind" for me.
    So it would be nice if I could click an option to always open Thunderbird in the calender tab regardless of where I closed it last. Similar to
    "tools/options/general" buttons.
    Thank you for the response.

  • How do I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I've tried the middle click/ctlr option.

    MSN is my home page and when I click on the hotmail link in the top left hand corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press middle-click/ ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only link that I have had this problem with thus far. Can you help me correct this problem?

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • Can I set toolbar items to open in a new tab by default without right clicking 1st and telling them to?

    I like to have some tabs open at the same time. Then I have some items in the toolbar that a sometimes need to open. I would like them to automatically open in a new tab without closing any tabs I already have open. Can this be done? I know if I right click on the toolbar item then choose open in a new tab it works. ??

    I do not know of any way to specify only some bookmarks to open in a new tab. You could middle-click on a bookmark to make it open in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that can make all bookmarks open in a new tab, such as:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]

    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
    All but the first of those will add many other tab browsing features. There will be other tabbed related add-ons that can open all bookmarks in a new tab, you can find them by searching https://addons.mozilla.org/

  • I downloaded 1100 photos from Kodak Easy Share to Iphoto. Now when I open the photo events in the photo library, a thumbnail screen of all the pictures appears. However, when I click on a thumbnail photo to enlarge it, a lock symbol appears. Help!

    If Larry's suggestion re iPLM doesn't help there's always the last ditch effort solution:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Opening iPhoto Event in Thumbnail view - not full screen

    When I view all my 'Events' in iPhoto I see them as thumbnails. It used to be that when I then double-clicked on a particular Event I then saw the contents as thumbnails as well. Now when I open a particular Event it goes straight to a randomly selected photo on full-screen. I have to then scroll through up to 200 pictures to get to the one I want.
    I have obviously done something stupid - can anyone offer any help so I can get back to how it was before??
    Thanks very much in advance.

    welcome to the Apple user help forums
    look in the lower right hand corner of the iPhoto window and slide the little slider to the left unhtil you see the desired number of thumbnails
