Photo Event Organization Problem

I had about 20,000 plus photos in I-Photo all organized by event and date. I decided to download another 1700 photos from a remote hard drive from my career and after they were imported, all the organization of the events was lost. I cannot seem to figure out how to get them back into the same organized manner without manually going through every photo. I did that to create the events originally and I cannot tell you how long that took. I had them backed up to an external drive and when viewed on that drive, they are correct but I cannot get them back onto my Macbook in that order. What gives?

What gives? You did something wrong someplace -- how did you "download" another 1700 photos from a remote hard drive?
What do you mean that the "organization of the events was lost?
Note that events are not really for organizaing photos - they are really just buckets of photos - albums and folders and smart albums are the organizaing tools
while it may not be necessary one way to "get yoru old organization" back is move the "unorganized" library to the desktop and drag the library from the EHD to the pictures folder and import the 1700 photos correctly

I have a related but different problem... I prefer that the photos/events on my iPhone and iPad be in "date created" order. Does anyone know if this is possible? Apple...please give us some options.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

How do I transfer photos in organizer to iPhoto?

I am going to be switching from windows to Mac. I currently use Photoshop Elements 9.0 and I have approximately 9000 photos in Organizer. I would like to continue to use Elements as my photo editing program and iPhoto to catalog my pictures. Is there a way to transfer ohotos from Organizer to iPhoto, keeping the tags I used to catalog my pictures in organizer?

I couldn't see how to export from the organiser?
I don't use the app but I'd ask on the support of whoever does.
The process of exporting from any app makes a new file. You would then import that file to iPhoto. Then trash both the ones in organiser and the exported copy.
As I'm not familiar with organiser I can't comment. But in your case I would export 50 shots from organiser and import them to iPhoto and explore.
I have tried to import from iphoto to the organiser but it seems to bring all files over each time even though some info on the net suggests it can select events
How are you exporting? This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
I had also used the faces feature in iphoto, but organiser doesn't seem to import these tags and wants to do face recognition again.
None of these apps can share Faces data. They all use their own system and there is no standardisation.

Can't Seem to Get My Photos Into Organizer

I am feeling dumber than a clock! I am new to PSE and have version 10. My photos are organized by year and within a year by dates and events. I cannot seem to bring those pictures into the Organizer.
I have succeeded in bringing a single photo into Organizer but would really like to bring in entire folders at a time.
What am I doing wrong?

There's a learning curve to the software, for sure. Don't hesitate to ask more questions.
When you have the Help open, look in the upper right corner for an icon that's labelled "View as PDF". Click on it, and when the PDF finishes loading, you can save the PDF onto your computer. The PDF is great because you can search for terms in it. Note: There are separate PDF Help files for the Organizer and the Editor.

Photo events not showing up in alphabetical order

Hi there all, why aren't my photo events showing up in chronological order? It appears like it starts with events from 2007, then works backwards from there as I scroll down. Then, after it gets through my earliest pics, it gets to my latest stuff. Very odd.
In iPhoto, they're in chronological order most recent to oldest.
thanks,
dp

Talked to Apple support- we figured it out. In case anyone has the same problem: one of my events in the iMovie events folder was corrupted, once I deleted that file, all was well.

How to sort photo events by date and avoid having duplicated photos on iPhone 6+

How to sort photo events bby date and avoid having duplicated photos. Before the sorting by date worked perfectly by specifying "sort events by date ascending" in iPhoto from my Mac. Now the sorting from iPhoto has no more effect on the iPhones. And photos are often duplicated when synchronisin. Before these problems didn't happen. How to do?

You can not -- neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

Photo events not appear correctly in iPhone4

What can I do when photo events in iphone 4 appear very different (split in too many small events) from itunes/iphoto?

Hi Robert,
According to FireBug, the following style in the PA_t15WL class is causing the problem:
background-position:0 50%;If you remove this, the button displays ok in FireFox - not sure what effect it has on IE7, though

Why does Flip-Pal Scanner's SD card down load photos to Organizer even the photo is already in Organizer?

Why does Flip-Pa Scanner's SD card down load photos to Organizer even though the photos are already in Organizer. My preferences are to not load again photos already in Organizer. My camera SD card loads photos only one time.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

IPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug

_*iPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug*_
iPhoto 08 contains a bug affecting the display of images that the user has marked as "hidden." Specifically, when the user toggles the View-Hidden Photos menu option, the Library-Events thumbnail view does not refresh quickly or reliably to show or hide Events containing "hidden photos."
Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain visible when they should be hidden.
Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain INvisible when they should be visible.
This affects the Event thumbnail "key photo" if this photo was designated as hidden.
This also affects any hidden Event photos when the user "skims" over an Event thumbnail to preview its contents.
The issue is isolated to Events thumbnails. The problem does not exist:
a) while browsing thumbnails inside a specific Event.
b) while browsing photos in Library-Photos.
c) while browsing photos in an Album.
_*"Fixes" that do NOT work:*_
Software updates... I have the latest version of OSX 10.5.2 and the latest version of iPhoto 08, including all the recent security and graphics system updates as of 02/16/2008.
Maintenance... The issue is NOT resolved by rebuilding the database, rebuilding icons, or deleting the iPhoto preferences file. The issue can be reproduced in a separate user account after creating a new event in an otherwise empty iPhoto database.
After much tinkering around, the following is the closest I've come to a
_*TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:*_
To *NOT DISPLAY* hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos *is not* checked. Restart iPhoto, and the hidden images should now be invisible.
To DISPLAY hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos is checked. While the hidden images are now visible elsewhere, they may still be invisible in Events thumbnails, so restart iPhoto, and then wait about 10 seconds for the Events view to refresh with all the hidden thumbnail images now visible.
If after carefully reading this you feel you have a definitive solution, please post a reply with your suggestions. Otherwise, please post to confirm if you can reproduce the problem on your computer running iPhoto 08 on Leopard. If so, please also file an official bug report with Apple. The more people report this, the faster we'll get it fix.

My Acrobat Pro 9 has also this bug. I am using XP SP2. I have reported this bug at Adobe web site many times. I wrote to the Adobe customer care. I wrote about this on many different forums and I was hopping an update with this bug fixed. I installed all updates till now bu the problem still exists. I do not know why Adobe is not caring about this stupid bug. It is really, really annoying. In my experience with Adobe Acrobat for about 10 years, Acrobat version 9 is the worst version I ever worked with. There are a lot of glitches and bugs in it, expecially with fonts, web version creation, password protection encryption etc etc.
If you find any fix please post back on this forum.
Many thanks,

Can't Get Photos in Organizer 7

I'm running PSE7 on Windows XP SP3.
I created a movie with my camera.
I downloaded the .avi file to my pc.
Then I brought the .avi file into Windows Movie Maker.
I captured four still images from the .avi file and created .jpg's from them.
So I ended up with four jpg's.
I then tried to do a 'Get Photos' in Organizer by navigating to the folder with the images.
When I tried to import them I got an error indicating that the files were either already
in the catalog or they were not the correct type.
I checked the catalog by filename (using Find) and the files were not there.
Then I opened the file in PSE Editor. They opened fine.
I then Saved them using the option to include in Organizer.
The images now show up in Organizer just fine.
Any ideas whey my jpg's were rejected by Organizer initially?

Here's what I think the problem is.
WMM adds a couple of pieces of EXIF data to the image.
One is 'Date Modified' and the other is 'Firmware Version'.
If I modify the 'Date Modified' information with an EXIF editor I can then
successfully Import the jpg into Organizer.
The WMM tag looks like 'Sun Jul 12 09:46:20 2009'.
The EXIF editor (Exifer) changes that tag to look like:
'Sunday, July 12, 2009'
'09:46:20 AM'.
My guess would be that PSE7 Organizer doesn't like the way that tag
is constructed by WMM.
I did try Premier Elements for capturing my jpg's. That seems to
work fine. The jpg's get placed back into Organizer.
I'll have to practice a bit more with PE to see if I can get
comfortable with using it. PE seems to have a lot more
functions.

Photo event dates deleted

Since installing iOS4.2 some of my photo folders have lost their dates and been replaced with "100IMPRT, 101IMPRT" etc. This problem like others I have is frustrating because I feel as if I have no control over what is happening and things happen inconsistently.

I just upgraded my iPad to iOS 4.2 and all my dates on photo events were also deleted. Can I recover these dates?

Elements Organizer Problem - Question Marks and Application Won't Quit Cleanly

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements/Premier Elements 11 to version 13 on a Mac. After the upgrade, my elements organizer is experiencing some issues.
1. When I click on a double click on a thumbnail, I am taken to screen that has a large question mark on it. (Not the photo) Elements organizer knows exactly where the file is on my hard drive though as I can edit it in photoshop elements. In addition, I can right click on the thumbnail and select show file Info -> Double click on Location. When I do this I am taken do the correct file in finder.
2. My other issue is that the program doesn't close properly. If I choose Quit from the menu bar, the program GUI closes, but it stays resident in my dock. I have to force close in order to open the organizer again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Trying renaming your contacts.xml file. To access the file, you need to go - Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/adobe/elements organizer/organizer/settings I just named it "renamedfile.xml". A new contacts file will appear after you reopen the program.
I've had this problem a few times and renamed this file (after a support person from Adobe told me to the first time). It opens after I remaned it.
The contacts function of the organizer doesn't seem to be a stable. It always deletes entries that I want to add in.
Hope this helps

How do I move Flagged Photos Event back to original event?

I made the mistake of thinking that I was making an event from flagged photos within an event. Instead, it created a Flagged Photos event of photos from ALL my events. I've read the instructions on how to put them back, but I can't get the events close to each other to drag from one to the other. Is there another way? Or can someone explain how to move the Flagged Photos close to the original Event? I have over 400 that I want back in their original places.
Thanks!

If you didn't make a back up then you don't have one. And you should. Immeadiately.
If you want move photos to a specific Event, flag them, select the target Event and go EVents menu -> Add Flagged Photos to Selected Events
