Sorting combined photos from two cameras by capture time (chronologicaly)

I have a group of photos shot by two cameras (Nikon D2x + Nikon D200) and after import when I sort by capture time the photos are in about 75% the correct chronological order but at least 25% are out of order (when checking the metadata). This is a huge issue because I shoot weddings with multiple photographers but display/print all photos in chronological order. Why does the sort by capture time not work correctly?

It works correctly for me, but others have had similar trouble.
Do a search of the forum. Someone found that setting the time of one camera forward by 13 hours and then back fixed the problem for them.
It's unclear if the trouble is caused by daylight savings time, or a problem with the metadata or what. There are a few known bugs with the time system in LR. I have a 20D and 5D, and they always sort correctly when I remember to sync the in-camera clocks!

I have photos from several cameras of the same event, how do I combine them?

I have photos from several cameras of the same events. How can I sort them together, three pics of the same horse from three cameras side by side; I can't move pics from one camera source to another in a folder.

Languare is critical since it is all we have to communicate with
Folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - folders hold only other folders or albums
If you are speaking of events then you simply merge the events (drag one onto another or select two or more and use the merge events command - for the photos to be "side by side" the three camera's time/date setting will have to be identical as photos will be sorted by time/date - if they are not you can correct by selecting the photos in an event (before merging) and using the adjust time and date command or you can make a smart album for the camera and select the photos and use the adjust time and date command

I have been using iPhoto on my MAC notebook to import photos from my camera. It no longer works and says that the Image Capture on my computer is the issue. Any ideas?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

How do I move photos from my camera roll to my photostream on the iPod Touch

I turned off the photostream because I didn't like that when I would delete a photo I'd have to delete it from two seprate places. But now syncing my photos to my computer is a huge pain since I don't use a Mac. So I figured photostream was my best bet since it syncs into a nice folder automatically on my computer.
When I turned photostream back on it didn't include any pictures from my camera roll that I took after I had initially turned photostream off.
It doesn't give me the option to select them from my camera roll and copy them to the photostream. Please tell me there's a way to do this?

You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

I have automatic upload etc. activated in Photo Stream. I just uploaded new photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, but nothing is sowing up on my iPhones my iMacs iPad or on Apple TV. Does anyone have. Any suggestions as to what I can. Do? I am currently on permahold with. apple Help.
THANKS!

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

How can I put photos from two iphones in one library?

I want to use one family Macbook pro for downloading photos from two iphones with separate apple IDs. In other words, we'd like to have all our photos stored in one library on the Macbook. Possible, and if so how does one set it up?

If you use iPhoto on the Macbook you can merge the photos from multiple cameras (iPhones) into one library. The Apple Id is irrelevant for this.

IPhoto downloading photos from the camera

Hi, is there any possibility to name the photo data other IMG_0001....whenever I import Photos from the camera,they are named with the same data and I have now about 20 photos named IMG_0001 and so on. I can give them a title but I want to change the name of the document and don't know how. Is there a way to name the photos before I import them from the camera?
Thank you for your help
Nicole

I tried to follow you trick, but it always open iphoto, as soon as I plug in the cord to import pictures.
So, quit iPhoto and launch Image Capture (in your Applications Folder). You Applications Folder is on your Hard Drive. It's where all your applications live. Or search for it with Spotlight.
And it is a lot of work to rename them all after importing.So it would be a huge help , if I could rename them before importing to iphoto.
It's exactly the same amount of work adding a title after you import as it is renaming files before hand. Use the Photos -> Batch Change command.

How does iPhoto Save photos from multiple Cameras

I have had a Mac for about 18 months. I have a Canon Digital Elph 410. Because I had only photos from this one camera I never have worried about naming. So all my photos are sequentially numbered IMG_0031, IMG_0032 etc. This last weekend, for a big trip, I purchased a Panasonic with a zoom lens. I also have on order a replacement for my Elph, a Canon SD630.
How will iPhoto distinguish between the similarly numbered photos from different cameras? The Panasonic may have a different numbering scheme, but the newer Elph is likely to come up with identical numbers as my old Elph. I know enough that when iPhoto asks me to replace I will say no. But how will I get the newer photos of the same serial number onto my iMac without erasing the old photos? Does iPhoto have a way---opaque to the user---of distinguishing between these two sets of photos based on the day they were shot?
Thanks.

Importing shouldn't be a problem, iPhoto will figure it out and nothing will get deleted.
You can have multiple files with the same "title" in iPhoto. The title is what you see in iPhoto, not the actual filename of the file stored on the disk, though the two are usually identical upon import.
For iPhoto5, it works like this:
1) If two different photos with the same name and date are imported, the second gets a "_1" appended to its filename on the disk but the titles you see in iPhoto will still be identical to the original filename.
2) If two photos with the same name but different dates are imported, they are stored in different folders in the iPhoto database so no "_1" is appended and, again, the titles you see in iPhoto will be the same.
3) If the photos are identical, a dialog box will pop up to ask you what to do. You can apparently import the same photo more than once.
iPhoto6 has a different directory structure on the disk so (2) may not apply. In any case, there shoudn't be a problem.

Can't download photos from my camera into Elements 9.0

Have Elements 9.0 which I just installed in October. I cannot download photos from my camera . On the ORGANIZE workspace I see no FILE, Get Photos, Help, Edit or even how to download the patches to make it current 9.0. I seem to be missing some critical menu's. I used Elements 4.0 for a number of years and it worked just fine. I've wasted a lot of time and it is not clear to me that the situation I have has ever been encountered by anyone else. Any help would be appreciated.

Good questions and thanks for trying to help me out. I’ve evolved through part of my problem but I know more than I understand. Here is what I’ve done and what I’ve observed:
1. The menus in the top row left side are missing. That is FILE, EDIT, FIND, VIEW, WINDOW and HELP are nowhere to be found. The right side of the top row is OK (Sign In, Create New Adobe ID), Undo, Redo, Display, Home and –?X)
2. I then installed Elements 9.0 on my wife’s new Window 7 computer. It looks just fine. Everything is as it should be.
3. I had an idea a shifted the my computer from medium (125%) fonts to small (100%) fonts. Everything looks fine. I went and rechecked my wife’s notebook and it has medium (125%) fonts. So my Windows computer with 18” monitor will not display PSE correctly at 125% but my wife’s notebook will! It is hard to read, I’m 75, but it works.
4. I have no idea what causes the problem but I can use PSE just fine if I don’t mind straining to read. So it looks like I have a solution to my original problem.
5. I tried to email a photo from each computer and that doesn’t work. Separate problem and I find that others have had the identical problem. At least I can describe the problem well enough to find all sorts of responses on the Internet.
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

When I download photos from my camera in preview, I get duplicates on my desktop. Does anyone know how to stop this?

I have been downloading (Importing) some photos from my camera, using Preview. As I select them to import and hit the button "Import", they are immediately saved on my desktop, rather than just appearing in Preview, wher I normally choose which ones I wish to save. Is there a way I can stop this happening? I am using a iMac intel with OS 10.6.8 and Preview version 5.0.3.
Normally, when I Import, I get a preview window with the images I chose. I dont get a secnt set on my desktop.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Desmond

Thank you for your response.
I am sorry I should have said Image Capture not Previews. The files end up as duplicates on my desktop or in Pictures. I was told by someone that the same thing happens in iPhoto as well as not being able to select which photos to save and that using Image Capture should be better.
My iPhoto is version 8.1.2 and Image Capture is 6.0.1.
Thanks
Desmond

I uploades photos from my camera but cannot locate them

I uploaded photos to iphoto from my camera but I cannot locate them. thought it might be a bad cord so i used a good cord with another set of photos and I cannot locate them either. Unfortunately I deleted them from my camera. I've been having trouble with my library. Events moving around for some reason. Could I have too many photos? I have 63,000 but still plenty of room on my hard drive. Help please

Are they not in the Last Import smart album at the left? Try sorting the Events by Date - Descending so that the last imports will be at the top of the screen. See if you can find them near or at the top.
Note: always make sure the uploading of photo was successful before deleting the photos from the camera by reformatting the memory card with the camera. A much safer work flow.

Uploaded through Bridge CC photos from my camera; went through the motions, not paying attention, but it did NOT save 'em where I usually save 'em; how can I ask Brindge or just the Mac Finder the last files I downloaded & where I saved 'em too? Oh, yeah, it ERASED the photos from my camera. I basically just need to ask my Mac (OS 10.8) where I downloaded 'em to. Thanks!

Uploaded through Bridge CC photos from my camera; went through the motions, not paying attention,
I'm not sure I do follow this, what do you mean with motions? can you specify this?. I assume you used Photodownloader? BTW, Not paying attention is usually not the best way when importing images...
but it did NOT save 'em where I usually save 'em; how can I ask Brindge or just the Mac Finder the last files I downloaded & where I saved 'em too?
When you import files they are written to your disk and therefor no need for save them, the files are already at your disk or written to the location you choose as destination. You could select your computername in the navigation column and then use the list view and choose the column last modified but this is not always showing the correct result. You could also do a spotlight search (or use the free Easy Find you can download from Devon) and choose to search for the extension you have shot your files in (Raw, jpeg??) and then choose modification date to sort.
There is not a log (at least not to my knowledge) that keeps track of all of your movements unless you have installed such application (don't know if there is one but I think there will be a thrid party or script written by someone). You could try Console (in the utilities folder) that holds your logs and reports but this is usually for crash or forced quit situations.
Oh, yeah, it ERASED the photos from my camera. I basically just need to ask my Mac (OS 10.8) where I downloaded 'em to. Thanks!
Well, this would mean you would have first select the option to do so in Photodownloader. While I use PDL on a daily base I always thought this option should not even be present to choose and you certainly should not use it to delete originals.
Like Curt already stated you have to use the camera software for this with the card in the camera. Either delete but preferable format the card. Mind you, this should not be done before you are sure where your files are written to and after you have checked randomly to see if the previews have build correctly for the newly imported files. Then you should make a back up of those files and only then start thinking about erasing or formatting the card for new use.
If you have not done very strange things (like choosing the card as destination but if so they might still be there- check finder in column mode- or wrote them to an external disk - where they also still should be) the files should be somewhere at your system. Just do an extensive search and if the files are really important check for recovering software for your card.
And follow the steps described above for importing, sometimes we need to learn our lessons the hard way (and I have been there too...)

I can't download photos from my camera. instead of a camera listed under devices I have a new icon named wizard. help?

I can't download photos from my camera. My camera used to show up under 'devices' when I connected to my Mac. Today it shows an icon called wizard instead. When I turn on the camera to start the download, empty picture frames appear, but no photos to import. Can anyone advise? Thank you!

Try to import from your camera with Image Capture instead of iPhoto. Does that work?
Do you see your camera as a disk on the Desktop?
Can you open the image files from te Finder?
That wizzard-icon is puzzling. Have you used your camera with a PC and perhaps reformatted the SD Card from a different operating system? Then I'd try to import a different SD Card, that has been reformatted in the camera.
