Organize events by title in alpha order?

In iPhoto 11 can I organize events by title in alpha order?  I am digitizing 35mm slides so the image meta data is useless.

View menu ==> Sort events - select sort by title
And you can change some of the metadata usng the Batch change ommand
In general albums and folder are a more flexible way to organize leaving events as simply buckets of potos

  • IPhoto events ordernot shown in requested order i.e. by Title?

    Why are my Events not shown in requested order i.e. by Title?

    Er, let's see... no sorry, the crystal ball isn't working on your wavelength today. You'll have to go the old fashioned way for help:
    If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Change iPhoto events in Aperture to date order, instead of ABC?

    Hi
    I like how Aperture 2.0 works with iPhoto imports better, listing events. However, it lists my iPhoto events in ABC order. I'd much prefer them to be listed in order by the date they were shot or whatever like in iPhoto. Anyway to do this?
    Thanks so much!!!

    If, like me, you used Events as your main organizational tool - you will really be disappointed in Photos.   My Albums transferred, but I had over 100,000 pictures, taken over 13 years and organized mostly by the "Event/Title" line above each group of pictures.   Those titles did not transfer to Photos.
    They do have an Album titled iPhoto Events and a lot of events are in there - however, not all and they are in a completely random order.   In my case, over 3,000 events with absolutely no way to find anything other than scroll through or possibly search.  Also, at this time there is no way to move forward with Event organization as it does not exist.   There is not way in Photos to label each days photos with an event or title.   It's like one big huge shoebox with date order the only organization.  Ridiculous.
    I mostly use a 35mm SLR Camera without any GPS designation - so I now have 109,000 photos in one big list organized by nothing but the date taken or scanned. 
    I have also scanned a lot of family history photos and old family photos - fortunately I put most of those in Albums - otherwise Photos is very excited to just list them according to the date I scanned them which has nothing to do with the content of the photo.
    Definitely back up your iPhoto before you do anything.   I am looking for an outside program that will continue my organization and not throw everything out on the whim of people who just use photos for social media and sharing.   This change made me realize that Apple has no intention of creating and keeping a serious organization system for amateur and professional photographers who have a large number of files that need to be organized and kept for many years.

  • How to export photos with titles in chronological order. Checking box for title and keyword doesn't seem to work

    I want to export a group of JPEG photos including titles in the order in which they were taken.  Checking the box to include titles and key words seems not to work.

    You can not
    exporting creates files - files have no order - the order is set by the program you use to view them - for example in the finder you can view files by the date created, date modified, size, alpha, etc
    So to control the order when viewing in the finder you must have an attribute that the finder can sort on set - the most common way to export photos in a specific order is to make an album in iphoto in the order you want and then export the album using the sequential naming option of the export command - then view them in the finder using a alpha sort - Exporting From iPhoto
    However since you want to retain your existing title that will not work for you

  • Why aren't my photo albums in alpha order on AppleTV?

    I have AppleTV 1. When I scan my iPhoto albums to select one to play a slideshow, the albums are not in the alphabetical order as in iPhoto. And, AppleTV shows some "albums" that are actually not albums at all - they are individual photos. Can anyone explain this? How can I get AppleTV to show all of my albums in alpha order?

    I couldn't answer that with any guarantee, I don't share events with my Apple TVs. If as may be the case events aren't able to be listed in the same ways as albums, you might consider using Albums instead of events. I use them out of preference as they allow me to do a number of things that events don't, such as missing out photos or using the same photo in more than one album.

  • Sync appears to be reorganizing my bookmarks to alpha order every time I reboot Firefox. Can I do anything to get sync to maintain the order I have arranged them in? Xmars never changed my specified order

    Firefox 3.6.11
    Sync appears to be reorganizing my bookmarks to alphabetical order.
    Every time I reorganize them the way I want. They return to alpha order the next time I bring Firefox up.
    Very annoying.
    Sync should leave the organization of my bookmarks alone. Only ensure that all bookmarks are present on all machines but do not reorganize for me.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • How to organize events that repeat every year with iphoto

    Dear Communitie,
    y
    How can i organize events that repeat every year with iphoto. For example, if i make picrues every year or 1 time a month, of my doughter, for example:
    Playing with our dog in the garden january 2012
    Playing with our dog in the garden march 2012
    Playing with our dog in the garden October 2012
    Playing with our dog in the garden december 2012
    Playing with our dog in the garden march 2013
    I don't know, what is the intelligent type of eventname.
    If i made "Playing with our dog in the garden", than i cant see the difference of growing (3 Month old chilren is completle different of a 5 Month old children)
    If i made "Playing with our dog in the garden Month Year" then the events are hundrets in 5 Year.
    I think, i don't understand, how to organize the contents with events. Is thera a whitepaer, a guide or somethink like that to take the DB organized how Apple iPhoto is meaning?
    Thanks a lot!
    Daniel

    The Trick is to create an Album
    Playing with Dog in Garden
    Drag the images you want from the Events to the Album. Sort the Album on Date. Now you have a chronological view of your daughter playing in the garden with the Dog.
    Albums are similar to playlists in iTunes. The contain pointers to files in the Library, so they use no disk space. An shot therefore can be in as many albums as you want.
    Some of the organisational possibilities of iPhoto"
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Is there an alpha order function in Pages for iPad?

    I have a folder inside Pages for iPad which has about 20 docs inside it.  I would like to put these files in alpha order by their title.  Is that possible?  If not, can I manually sort the files inside the folder?  I can get the files to move, but I can't get the file to hold it's new position.  Thanks for your help. Jo

    Go to Settings > General > Keyboard and turn Enable Caps Lock to On. When Enable Caps lock is On then double-tapping the shift key will lock it down (it turns all blue). YOU CAN THEN TYPE ALL CAPS,

  • IPhoto fails to sort events by title

    Hi everyone, and thank you in advance for any support you may be able to provide.
    I have been plagued by this issue for some time and it is truly infuriating. If I have not provided enough information please say so and I would be happy to add more info.
    The issue is this: events do not sort by title.
    Let me go more in depth:
    It is possible for me to sort them by title, using the menu options in the status bar. (View>Sort Events>By Title)
    But, if I combine events, delete or create new events, all havoc breaks loose. The events are then in no discernable order, even while it says they are sorted by title in the status bar.
    I am running the latest version of Mac OSX, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and the latest version of iPhoto, 9.4.2. I have a 27" Late 2010 iMac with Intel i7 and 12 GB of RAM.
    Please, please, please help me?

    Have you tried going back to the Sort menu and changing Ascending to Descending or the orther way around and back again to see if that will jump start the sort by title?
    If that doesn't help 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 (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - 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.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Imovie 10 events now alphabetical not date order

    My events are all in alpahabetical order in the sidebar, how do I change this to date order the same as they were in iMovie 11?
    I also think I am missing a lot of footage. Many of my events don't seem to be there! If it was in date order (by title as it used to be) it would be easier to see this or not.

    Because of the alphbetical order it is no longer easy for me to detremine the timing of the video.  This is probably true for everyone.  Does the video store the date the video was taken (similar to photo metadata) and if so how do I access that information in iMovie?

  • Can I restore events with titles from time machine?

    I need to restore 2 events back into iphoto. I am using time machine as my backup. When I restore the event it imports the photos from that event back into iphoto but puts them into an "untitled event".
    Is there a way to restore events including the title of the event or do I have to go by memory on what all the events were titled?
    It would seem that there would be a way to do this. My concern is if I ever have to restore a large number of events from time machine it would be nearly impossible to remember what each event is titled.
    Thank you in advance

    Thomas:
    No, you can't do it that way. There is another way but is rather involved and time consuming and will require the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. Here's how:
    1 - restore the entire library with the events you want and keep the current one.
    2 - rename the restored library to iPhoto Library Restored.
    3 - rename the original library back to just iPhoto Library.
    4 - open your current library and then close.
    5 - open iPLM and get both libraries loaded in the left hand pane.
    6 - copy the event from the restored library to the operation library like this.
    That will keep your keywords, titles and comments and Event title intact.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

  • How do I change the "Attach File" list from icons in alpha order to a list in chonological order?

    When I want to attach a file to an email message, it's usually the last file I worked on. Firefox used to display the items as a list in chronological order, with the most recent item at the top. Now it displays icons (which I hate!) in alpha order, which is soooooo not useful. I think this change may have occurred after the last update I loaded for Firefox. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get back to my original format. Thanks!

    OOPS! Looks like this is happening in Word as well, so it's not a Firefox issue. ... but I still can't figure out how to change it. Any suggestions?
