Photo downloads into iPhoto

When I do a download from my Sony Memory Stick to iPhoto my photos are imported in reverse order from the sequence they were taken on the camera. I cannot run a slide show since this puts the photos in reverse order. Can anyone tell me how to import the photos in the order they were taken on the camera? Or how to change the sequence in iPhoto without manually moving each photo once they have been downloaded?

mikefla:
Go to the View menu and under the Sort Photo submenu select Ascending. That will change the order in the library. If you already have a slideshow that's reversed from what you want, select all of the thumbnails in the thumbnail tray and drag the first slide to the far right side of the window, waiting until the slider bar completes its left to right move, and the release. That will reverse the order in the slideshow.
You can experiment with the View menu options to get what you want exactly.
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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Iphoto unexpectedly qyuits. This began after dragging photo's into iphoto from scanner

iphoto now unexpectedly quits. This began after dragging photo's into iphoto from scanner

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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 and keywords 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. .

Is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto

I moved my iphoto library to my external drive so that both my laptop and imac can use the synced photo library.
... but now my imac iphoto says I can not open my iphoto library, because is from a newer version of iphoto. And the application then closes.
I figured out my newer laptop has a newer version of iphoto on it.
Imac iphoto version is 6.0.6
Laptop iphoto version s 7.1.5
I Downloaded iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This created a new library but says a lot of my pictures are lost. I can search and find them on my external drive and reimport, but there are a lot of them! Any suggestions?
I'd rather use the 6.0.6 on my imac than pay for an upgrade.
I just won't use my laptop's iphoto.
BUT, how can I get my 6.0.6 working again with all of my pictures in tact? Or is there an easy way to import those misfortunate photos back into iphoto painlessly?
Any other solutions??
Will Snow Leopard have the newest iPhoto included?
Thank you!

If you want to revert to iPhoto 6 then you have two choices:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Create a new v6 Library and start over.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'.
Go into the Old iPhoto Library (Right Click on the Library Icon and choose ‘Show Package Contents) and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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 old iPhoto Library.
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.
“Snow Leopard” is an OS Upgrade. While we have no idea what will be included with it, on past experience, no, it will not include a new version of iPhoto.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

I my harddrive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

The external drive with my photo library went bad, but I have the photos on my ipad, ipod and iphone. How to I get those photos back into iphoto on my macbook?

Are the photos you want to send back to your mac on your iPad, iPod, iPhone saved to the camera roll? If you have photos in other albums (not camera roll) share them to the camera roll.
Then connect your device via USB and lauch iPhoto. You will see your device as a camera in iPhoto. Import those photos like you would import from a camera.

Can't move photos from SD card to Trash after download into iPhoto

The past few times I've tried to delete photos downloaded via a card reader from my SD card to iPhoto, I have been unable to do so.
I receive the message: "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. Error code -61."
This problem only started with the last four or five photo downloads I've made.
Any suggestions? Thanx.

Try reformatting your card with your camera. That will clear the card and probably fix the issue as well.
And is a better workflow since it eliminates the possibility of losing photos due to a computer glitch and renews the format of your card every time

Iphoto Stream does not take in concideration the time zone. How to add a certain amount of hours on a Stream automaticly downloaded into Iphoto?

Hi,
I am just back from my holidays with few friends... We were in a Time Zone +6. I have created a Photo stream for everyone to share their photo on the same place. It worked. Back @ my place, I downloaded those photos localy on my laptop to be able to close the Stream. Those picts has the perfect time. In the same time I got all my picts that are automaticly streamed into Iphoto as well ... Here is my problem : I want to had the Picture that I have not streamed into the commun stream to my local event (from my own automatic stream) ... Those have been uploaded with my laptop local time !!! So I have 6 hours difference ! ...
Is there a way to add 6 hours to all my pictures or should I import manualy my pictures from my phone to Iphoto ? (Picts are Ok into my phone).
It is kind of an hugly bug: I think that this streaming option is actully really useful when you are in holidays ... so kind of often in an other time zone !
Thx for the support !

You e missing somthing - the adjust time and date command is specfially designed to corect tim fo camera mis-settings or time zone - you selec a roup of photo off by a certain amount and it adds the same delta to all thereby quickly an dsimply correcing user camera setting errors or user time zone errors
It does exactly what you ask for - the batch change command does not work for this by=ut the adjust time command does

Do you mean that I can't delete any pictures that I download into iPhoto?

"Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder
If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."
I just recently found these forums and have spent a lot of time looking through them. Yes, I am a newbie. I have learned a lot, some things are confusing.
Since you have to download everything on your camera there are a lot of pics I would like to get rid of. Yet I am reading all these warnings about not deleting pictures.
I think I will start downloading my camera with Image Capture. I was looking at Automator but can't quite figure out how that works. Will have to study it some more.
Thanks for now

You can of course delete photos but just don't do it from the main iPhoto library folder located in user/Pictures/iPhoto Library while using the finder.
You can delete as many photos you like from within iPhoto itself.
Open iPhoto
Click on the library pane
Select the photos you wish to delete
and hit delete
They are moved into iPhoto's Trash (bottom of source pane)
Ctl click Trash
Select Empty Trash
Gone
Hope this helps

Photos uploaded into iPhoto do not appear as available for upload in Safari

Hi
When using Safari 6.0.2 to post a photo, there is a lag before I can access recently uploaded photos into iPhoto 9.4.2.
Sometimes I need to close iphoto before the photos will appear as 'uploadable' by Safari. Other times, closing iPhoto does not initially help.
I don't recall this being an issue in the past.

If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Last Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.

Importing Kodac camera photos (*.fpx) into iPhoto 6.0.2

Hello,
I switched from Windows PC to Mac (Mac Mini Core Duo) - now I am using iPhoto for my Photo collection. I used to have a Kodac digital camera of the DC series and used the format *.fpx - unfotunately I can not import these pictures into iPhoto.
Somebody any idea what the reason could be?
thanks
iPoseidon

Hi iPoseidon,
that is a flashpix bitmap from Kodak.
Just wondering why the camera is using that instead of jpeg?
Anyway, I don't think iPhoto can import those files.
If you have Graphic converter on your new mac it can convert those files to jpeg for you.

Importing 2 icloud photo streams into iPhoto

Just as the title states..
My wife and I just started our own seperate iCloud accounts and now it seems like we can't combine them in iPhoto. Before we used one account and pictures were seamlessly across all devices, and now since iOS 8 and continuity out personal iPhones are more connected than we want. So is there a way to get her photo's and my photo's into photo stream without creating a special album were we have to share them to it and the photo's automatically show up in the iCloud section?
Thanks for any help!

thank you. so in order to optimize my HDD usage, I ought to import the photo into iPhoto and then delete the original folder?
Yes, you can delete the files you imported. But don't be in a hurry. I'd back them up somewhere, until you are sure that everything imported well.
last - is there any meta-tagging option in iPhoto?
You can
batch change titles, date, and description,
add keywords
tag faces
and tag places on a map.

Inserting panoramic photo's into iPhoto book

I'm creating a new photo book in iPhoto (9.5.1) and I now find there's now no longer an option to add panoramic photos.
I have been able to do this on 2 previous photo books.

Assuming you've imported the panoramic photo from your iPhone into the iPhoto library and added it to your book do the following:
Just drag the photo from the photo tray at the right in the book mode into the frame on the page:
Control (right) - click on the image and select Fit Photo to Frame Size (not all themes offer that option).
which will give your this:
depending on the page layout option you've chosen.

Import photo edits into iPhoto

When i take a photo on my iPhone and use editing software, the photo is then saved on my phone with the edits saved.
However when i import the photos into iPhoto, the edits are not carried through.
For example if i take a photo on my iPhone and enhance with Camera + and save that photo, when I import into iPhoto, the enhancements do not carry over into my iPhoto album.
Is there any way to fix this?

It will change with the new Photos.app, but until then see: iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices - Apple Support
