Renamed pictures on iPhoto 6
Hello,
xcuse my english, i'm french.
Hope that somebody could understand what i wanna say.
I want to rename pictures with date but i just have 3 choices :
for example for a pictures shooted on the 4th of november
- 11/04/06
- Monday the 4th nov 2006
- monday the 4th november 2006
I can't use the first solution because of the " / " (problem for the transfer to an external hard drive.
I'd like to use other solutions BUT I don't want to have the day of the week on the title (i have my reasons)
How can I do, is there anything to configure ?
(For only one picture i can delete the day on the title but for more... what a pain )
Is anybody understand me ?
Thanks for your help

That "!" is an indication that iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original file. Backup the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the options #1, #2 and #6.

Renaming Pictures inside iphoto and not finding on .mac upload
I'm a new guy, so please bear with me.
Imported photo's into iphoto and went to info panel and changed titles to meaningful names.
Ex. DSC00001.jpg -> Easter Dinner.jpg
Went to .mac upload and I cannot find the new name jpg names. The only pictures I can see are the original named pictures. I looked in Original folder, the modified folder and I just see the named files before I changed them. Maybe I am approaching this the wrong way.
Any hints appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Changing the title of a photo in iPhoto only changes the title in iPhoto. The actual file name is not touched. The only way you can change the file name and not mess up the library is to either rename them before importing into iPhoto or export the changed file out of iPhoto using the File->Export->File Export menu route with the option to use the Title selected. Then the new files will have those new names. If you try renaiming the files while in the Finder inside the iPhoto Library folder you will damage the library and have to start afresh. So Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
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. -
Is their a way to rename pictures in iphoto?
I am creating a video that is a combination of video and photos. I want to be able to drop the photos by folder into the video, but I want them to stay in the order that I put them in, not by date. What do I do?
Is this for iPhoto on your Mac? If so the only way to rename the files is to change the title under the thumbnails and then export the files out of iPhoto to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option Filename - Use Title. Then import into iMovie from the folder.
This topic should be in the iPhoto in iLife community. I'll have it transferred.

ALL pictures in iPhoto *and* PhotoBooth are gone :( please help
Hello,
I have a bit of a dilema here. On 6-27-07 (actually 6-28 cause it was after midnight), my daughter and I were taking pictures in photobooth. I selected the iPhoto icon from the PhotoBooth picture to send a copy of those pictures to iPhoto.
PhotoBooth froze up after doing several of them and wouldn't work. I am trying to remember from memory (which is swiss cheese from the MS), but I think I had to do a hard shut down. When I tried to go to iPhoto, it acted like it was my 1st time using it and it began asking me questions as if I was setting it up for the 1st time. ALL pictures are GONE. Everything in iPhoto and PhotoBooth are GONE I don't know what I did or how (if I can) to fix it.
Can anyone possibly help me? Lots of precious memories gone. I was recently going to read how to do a back-up right before this happened. Now I wish I hadn't gone to sleep that night until I learned how to do it and actually did make a back-up
My husband called Apple and they told him to do something and now that has created approximately 3 copies of random pics and not all of them, or I would just delete the extras. My husband may have done something wrong to have it make extra copies of the pictures it has now, I don't know.
My husband didn't seem like he was happy with the help that he was getting at the time. So, I found my way here again!!! I have been to the discussions boards once before, but I forgot how to get here (serious swiss cheese memory from MS). I have to save ALL websites that I like to my favorites or I should say 'Bookmarks' or I will probably never find it again. <embarassed>
**I will tell you a little about me and the use of my mac....... I have Multiple Sclerosis so my husband purchased the lap top to make it easier for me to get online and not be stuck to one chair which makes me hurt bad. I am new to Mac and have always used a PC.
Anyway, when we purchased it we explained that I would mainly be using it for Internet use and for the pictures that I take (I am disabled, so that is about all I can do but I thoroughly enjoy it), which happens to be more than the average person since I have a new Grandson
Any help that anyone can give me, I would TRULY APPRECIATE!!!!!!
Thanks,
New2HimBrenda,
You're quite welcome.
That does sound like your original library. It makes sense to me; your husband was probably told to drag it to the Desktop by the Apple help desk person. Look inside your Pictures folder for the other two iPhoto Library folders. If you don't find them there, do another Finder Search. Click once on a found item in the Search window to see its path at the bottom of that window. That should help you locate those folders.
After you find and rename or delete the other libraries, you will be ready to create a new library. (You might not want to delete those other folders yet - in case some photos are missing from your main library. But if you are sure that nothing in them is original, go ahead and Trash them to free up the space.)
To create a new library, Option-launch iPhoto and click "Create Library." By default it will be located in your Pictures folder and named "iPhoto Library." You can change the name if you want - say, "iPhoto Library New" before you click "Save." A new, empty library will open. Drag the right corner of the window up so that it fills only about half of your screen. Do iPhoto > Preferences > Advanced and make sure that there IS a check in the boxes beside "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when importing to library" and "Add ColorSync Profile".
On the other half of your screen, open a Finder window. Set it to column view and navigate this path: Desktop/ iPhoto Library/ Originals/ 2007/ (Film Roll folders). It is these Film Roll folders that contain your photos. Select all of the Roll folders and drag them as a group over the iPhoto window until the cursor shows you a green plus symbol. Drop them in the main viewing area of the iPhoto window. iPhoto will indicate to you that it is importing. A film roll will be created for each folder that you dragged. [Tip: if you want an Album to represent each film roll, then drag them to the Source Pane (left column) instead of the main viewing window. This will create an Album and a film roll, both with the same name as the imported folder.]
I have read that the film roll date can be wrong after importing, so you may want to check the dates as you go. Open the Info Pane in the lower left corner of the iPhoto window (click the little i). When you select a Roll, its info will display in the Info Pane. You can edit the Roll's title and date, if you wish.
When the 2007 rolls have all been imported, switch to the Originals/ 2006 folder, select the roll folders, and drag to your iPhoto window. Repeat for each year in your Desktop library.
This will recover your Original, unedited photos in the same film rolls as before. What cannot be saved is your Albums, Slideshows, Books, titles, keywords, ratings, and other metadata. These were contained in the database file that was damaged during the iPhoto hang or subsequent hard shut down.
If you had spent significant time editing your photos, then you may want to have a look in Desktop/ iPhoto Library/ Modified to see if you wish to save any of the edited versions. There is no way to reconnect the edits with their Originals; that info was also stored in the database file. But if you want to import them to your library you may. Be aware that this will cause the appearance of duplication, much like you had in the library your husband created. If you can part with your edited versions, then it is much easier to discard them. (If not, be selective.)
I'll look forward to hearing your progress. Regards,

I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides and black transitions). When using JPEG-pictures directly from the camera there are no problems, so the manipulation in Lightroom seem to cause corrupt files. Does anyone recognize tje problem and could it have anything to do with the introduction of the Yosemite software? Is Lightroom already Yosemite-proof?
In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

What happened to my pictures on iphoto?
I have over 7,000 pictures in iphoto and I was putting some pictures into rolls that are of the same picture (as a group) so I could load them onto a dvd. And also renaming the rolls as what it is in that roll. I have been working on this for about three hours now. And didn't stop to take a break. Anyways, a black screen came up as I was in the middle of it and it said I had to restart my computer. Either, hitting restart or holding the button on the computer for a few seconds. Well, I couldn't even move my mouse, so I had to hit the button on the computer. Now, when I went to go see if it did anything to my pictures, the pictures I was just messing with aren't there. They come up as a gray box with a "!" in them. All the other pictures are there besides the one's I just did maybe 10 mins before. What happened to them and can I get them back?
Also, This happened like a couple of months ago. Some of my pictures are messed up. Like if you click on the photo it's a whole different photo compared to the one that shows up in the library section. Any ideas of what that is?
Thanks for the help in advance!1 - you are posting in the iPhoto '09 forum and talking about rolls that have not existed since iPhoto 6. What version do you have?
2 - for iPhoto '09 depress the options and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild the library from the last automatic database backup

how do I add pictures to I photo. I have several pictures I would like to add to iphoto and would like to create new folders with the proper dates on them but not sure how to do that?
To add pictures to iPhoto: Open iPhoto>File>import to iPhoto > choose photo(s) for importing into iPhoto
To create a new iPhoto album: Highlight the photo(s) you've just imported while viewing them in iPhoto and then click File>new album> Name the album
I'm not sure about how to edit the date tags for the actual photos themselves using iPhoto but if it's just the album itself that needs to display the correct date you can do that when naming (or renaming) the album, i.e." My dog Sadie - Jan 2014"
If you need to change the date tag for an actual photo, try the iPhoto room here at ASC if no one provides an answer on this thread.
Good luck! -
after installing mountain lion I lost pictures in iphoto, lost my musisc in itunes, my icluod is not working, internet its very slow and some other issues. There is a way how to fix these issues
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Photo Stream then reselect it.
Now for your music. Launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Store tab.
Select: Music. (and Apps and Books) if you want.
Click OK.
iCloud syncs via your Wi-Fi network so give it a minute or two to reset your photos and music.
Slow internet ... try turning off the modem for a few minutes, then turn it back on. -
I cannot open pictures from iphoto. I see them but when I click on them, I get this exclamation point inside a triangle
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
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. .

How do I change the way I get my pictures with iPhoto?
Hi everyone,
Currently i plug in my Canon Powershot SD550 camera and iPhoto opens, i can download the pictures into iPhoto directly from there. i assume it was a setting I made when i first got the new computer and I dont know how to turn it off.
However, I want to plug the camera in and move the photos from the camera to a folder on my desktop so I can name them and so on.
I will import them to iPhoto from the folder afterward.
thanks for any help you can provideiPhoto menu ==> General ==> Connecting Camera opens ==> no application
Then you can go to the finder and copy the images to a folder and prepare them for importing into iPhoto

I have been working on my ipad with iphoto. First I transferred the pictures from my SD card with connection kit and then I started to edit a lot of them. Now i need to transfer them back to my mac. I would like to continue manage them in Iphoto on the mac but I can not find the option. When I import the pictures via Iphoto or aperture the pictures transfers without the changes I made on the Ipad. I've also tried the command "Send to Itunes" but nothing happens. Do I really need to convert every edited picture to the camera roll ONE BY ONE and then sync the normal way? And I need them with no loss of quality because I want to print a book later. Please help.
There is no link between iPhoto (or Aperture) on your Mac and the app on iOS. So you'll need to export from the iOS app and then import to your preferred app on the Mac. For details on that:

When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?
Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
But still thanks, nevertheless.

I have an iMac and an Apple TV that is connected to the main iTunes library on the iMac. My Apple TV is able to find all the music, videos and pictures that are on the iMac's internal hard drive - presumably via iTunes (music and videos) and directly accessing the Pictures folder. So far, so good!
Recently, I have had to move a lot of my pictures to an external hard drive - and I had hoped that by 'importing' them into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them on the internal drive), I can still have my Apple TV "find" these pictures via iPhoto - and allow me to browse them as before or use them in my screen-saver.
However, while I can see them in iPhoto, my Apple TV seems to be unable to find them - and I am unable to see them on my TV.
So, is this even supported by Apple TV/ iPhoto? Is there some configuration I am missing? Or do I just need to boot up everything from scratch? Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.
MaheshThanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice. However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption?
If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
Thanks a ton!
