Scanning into iphoto 08 creates single events can I change that?

When scanning photos into iphoto 08 with my epson flatbed my individual scans show up as single events, so if I scan 100 pictures of Dad I have 100 separate events. Is there a way to pre-select creating one event before I begin the scan process? Also is there a way to target the event I want a scan to end up in?

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
No and No
But once you scan several you can select all the events you just created and click merge and merge them into one event
Or scan to a folder on the desktop and then import that folder into iPhoto (probably want to turn off the option to split items imported from the finder into events)

  • M into iPhoto and creat an event?

    I have photos of my kids that are fading.  I want to scan them into iPhoto in chronological order and use them for iMovie projects that I am working on combining video and photos in the project. Should I just scan them into iPhoto and creat one huge event?  Or have multiple events?  I see that I can't move photos around in an event.  Should I just scan them in an make albums instead to help me find photos when I'm ready to put them in the iMOvie project?

    Where are you looking?

  • Can i import "all images" into iphoto to create a new library?

    somehow about 4000 photos out of 10000 disappeared when I moved to the newest iphoto and attached my external hard drive with the old iphoto library to it and switched between libraries using alt to open it.  i was unable to get iphoto to see the missing 4000 even though they were in all images.
    i went to all images on the new mac and dragged it into iphoto and created a new library.
    it seemed to work but then a few hours later when i looked at my photos they are all just faces!!!!!!!! and in all images the photos are all just faces too.
    what on earth is this?

      i am trying to understand why so many of my photos in the library seem to be just faces
    Because you imported the face thumbnails into iPhoto as noted several times
    As My first post explained
    All images is just that - a list of all images on your computer - all photos (two or three versions of each in iPhoto), the faces thumbnails, and probably icons and other images that have nothing to do with iPhoto
    No bug - simply user error
    Yes you can create a new library from the photos in the masters folder
    But first try to rebuild the database again - if that does not work this time download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it's rebuild command and see how it does - that will create a totally new liberary leaving your existing one untouched so you can go back to it if needed

  • Scanning into iPhoto -where are files landing, and how to get copies?

    Maybe if I describe my current situation, I can better understand what a good way of maintaining the archive of photos I've kept for 13 years is in a cross-platform manner. I just scanned a photo, and chose to tell the scanning software to send it into iPhoto. There it ends up in the package, in folders like Originals>>2009>>May 25, 2009 and May 25, 2009_2 for the second scan, etc, etc.
    So I can either copy the files that are in those folders to the desktop, taking care not to remove or delete them, and then push them into my archive in the folders I want them, or I could save out each one as it hits iPhoto, using the Export function. I've got 18 years of film photos I'm going through to add to my digital archive the best memories of my wife, who recently passed. So if I find one of us at Fallen Leaf Lake in 1995, I want to shove it into my archive folder in a folder called 1995, and it's subfolder Summer. iPhoto has been a godsend in this project, but I also want to continue maintaining my application-independent archive, and am thinking that maybe saving out each photo as it hits iPhoto is the way to go. And is it possible I'm just not getting how to scan a bunch of related photos at once and have them all land in the same folder or event?
    With every photo getting it's own folder in the package, today's date in the metadata, and it's own new "untitled event", I'm finding it difficult to make much progress.

    Okay I've figured out a way to work with the scanned photo files before iPhoto. But what do I do to get them into iPhoto in a way that makes sense? I've got film-only photos I need from around 1990 all the way up till the recent past. So I'm looking at nine photos of my wife at our daughter's first birthday. To pull them into iPhoto without creating a bunch of folders, events, with today's dates.... Should I put them into folders with descriptive names in the hopes that that will cause iPhoto to assemble them into an event by that same name?
    That is a good idea
    drag the folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import all of the photos in it as an event with the folder name
    Also you can use file names (name managler - http://www.manytricks.com/namemangler/ -is a good program for renaming files) before importing to iPhoto
    And use some kind of metadata editor to assign dates before pulling them into iPhoto? I whacked my entire iPhoto library a few days back over this this and some other sets of photos, because once I got them into the same "event", I used Command+A to select them for a date change. However that did not select all the photos in the event, it selected all the photos in the library. Then the date change put everything out of whack for all the photos - apparently it adds or subtracts to the Julien dates, so instead of making everything that certain date, in this case it adjusted all photos to lose about ten years.
    You used adjust them and date - it adds a constant delta to the dates which does not work for scanned photos since they have no "date taken" - you want the batch change time and date to change all selected photos to a specific date and time (with the possibility of adding an increment to the time)

  • 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

    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.

  • I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I need to tether into my Macbook Pro. How can I do that?

    I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I need to tether into my Macbook Pro. How can I do that? I updated my iPhoto to recongize my camera, it does. When connected I see it in the USB utlitiy. But my MacBook Pro says "no camera found." What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    Thanks, Kappy
    I was fooling around with Lightroom and it has a tethering option. I tried it and it worked. But I am still reading my camera manual as you recommeded.

    how do i create an event in my calander that repeats the second thursday of every month

    This should get you started down the pathJust replace User data with your cluster and do the data integrity check in the value change event use a simple one button dialog to notify the user which values are out of compliance and disable and grey the OK button untill all conditions are met.

  • After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

    After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

    What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?
    (Note that if you change the size of text, it won't reflow, so you end up with a mess. Answer is, probably not useful)

  • I added a photo from camera roll to a created album,how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep photo in album

    I added a photo from camera roll to a created album, how can I delete that photo from camera roll and still keep same photo in album?

    You can't. It doesn't work that way.
    the new album that you created doesn't contain a copy of the actual photo. It contains a pointer to that photo. If you delete it from the camera roll, you will delete it from the album that you created as well. Albums that you create on the iPad in the Photos app are for local organization only and cannot be transfer or imported to your computer, because there really are no photos in those albums

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

  • I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

    I have two personal e-mail accounts and a general account that I have synced to my Mail app, but I keep getting emails sent to the non-personal e-mail because they're on the same server. How can I change that?

    The only ways I know of for email to get sent to an account are:
    1. It was addressed to that account. Someone used that email address to send you the email.
    2. It was forwarded to that account by the account to which it had been addressed. I am not aware of Mail having this feature but it is often a feature provided by your ISP that you can turn on by logging into your account via the Internet and setting it up.  I assume you have not done this, though.
    With several email addresses in the same Mail client, you have to be careful which one you are sending from. If you send from the wrong address, any replies will come back to that same address. I make this mistake all too often.
