Split an event into mini-events by date?

I recently went on a trip to Mexico with a large group, and afterwards I received a DVD with all of the pictures from the trip. Unfortunately the pictures were not split up by date. I would like to do this by the day the pictures were taken. Is there any way iPhoto can split all of the pictures into separate events by the imbedded data in the pictures?

Select the event and go to the event menu ==> autosplit event
or open the event and scan up from the bottom until you find a spot where you want to split - select the photo that you want to end the new event and click on the split button - continue up and splitting until you have it like you want
in the future you can use the iPhoto preferences to do this on import (check the "split items imported from the finder into events" option

  • Accidently Moved all my events into one event

    My Mac was running slow so accidently dropped all my events into one.
    I then closed and reopened Iphoto hoping the changes wouldnt take effect.
    Urgently need to undo the action.  The UNDO button is greyed out.
    I clicked on Autosplit events, but how can i get my last copy of the library back and reload?  Where is it saved? 
    Please help

    No, it doesn't.  You must be proactive in setting up a backup strategy like using Time Machine with an external HD.  If you haven't setup a backup plan then you have no backup of the library to fall back on.
    So you're only course of action is to split (auto or manually) the one large event into events based on your criteria, i.e. by date, by photo opportunity, etc.  It could take a while.  One way to do it by date, i.e. by month is to use the Search function at the bottom of the window and do a search by each month of the year,  When you get the results for the first month, select them all and use the Events ➙ Create Event menu option.  This way you can create an event for each month of each year.

  • Translating Visual Basic Events into Java Events

    I'm in the process of porting a Visual Basic application to Java. Now, most of it is pretty straight forward, since good OO practice is evident in the original VB source. With a good dose of refactoring along the way the Java version is looking pretty good too.
    However, I'm having a problem with events. Here's a snuppet of one of a VB class that generates events and one that uses it:
    (Invoices.cls)
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    Event AddItem(ItemID as String)
    Event RemoveItem(ItemID as String)
    Private m_Items as Collection
    Public Sub Add(ItemID as String)
       m_Items.Add ItemID
       RaiseEvent AddItem(ItemID)
    End Sub
    Public Sub Remove(ItemID as String)
       m_Items.Remove ItemID
       RaiseEvent RemoveItem(ItemID)
    End Sub
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-and
    (OrderBook.cls)
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    Private WithEvents m_Invoices as Invoices
    Private Sub m_Invoices_AddItem(ItemID as String)
       CalculateTotals
    End Sub
    Private Sub m_Invoices_RemoveItem(ItemID as String)
       CalculateTotals
    End Sub
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Can anyone give me a few pointers on what the Java equivalent to this VB code is?
    Thanks,
    Vince.

    Hi,
    There are few main things involved in a Java event delivery
    1. The event source
    2. The event listener
    3. The even data
    4. Registration
    5. The event delivery process
    I don't know the VB syntax, but any way it gives a good idea of what you wish to achieve.
    Here the Invoice class is basically the event source. And the OrderBook class is the event listener. To proceed further you will have to specify (define) the event listener first. Secondly you will have to create an event object which contains the data to be delvered via the event.
    1. Specifying the event listener interface
    public Interface ItemOperationListener
    public void itemAdded (ItemOperationEvent ioe);
    public void itemRemoved (ItemOperationEvent ioe);
    2. The event class
    public class ItemOperationEvent extends java.util.EventObject
    String item = null;
    public ItemOperationevent(Object source, String Item)
    super(source);
    this.item = item;
    public String getItem()
    return item;
    3. Creating and firing the event from the event source.
    public class Invoice
    private collection items; // any collection
    // to hold all the event listeners , this way u can define > 1
    // listeners
    javax.swing.event.EventListenerList listenerList = new javax.swing.event.EventListenerList();
    public void addItem(String item)
    items.add(item);
    // update the listeners
    fireItemAdded(item);
    public void removeItem(String item)
    items.add(item);
    // update the listeners
    fireItemRemoved(item);
    public void addItemOperationListener(itemOperationListener ioe)
    listenerList.add(ioe);
    public void removeItemOperationListener(itemOperationListener ioe)
    listenerList.remove(ioe);
    public void fireItemAdded(String item)
    ItemOperationEvent e = null;
    Object[] listeners = listenerList.getListenerList();
    // Process the listeners last to first, notifying
    // those that are interested in this event
    for (int i = listeners.length-2; i>=0; i-=2) {
    if (listeners== ItemOperationListener.class) {
    if (e == null)
    e = new ItemOperationEvent(this,item);
    ((ItemOperationlistener)listeners[i+1]).itemAdded(e);
    public void fireItemRemoved(String item)
    ItemOperationEvent e = null;
    Object[] listeners = listenerList.getListenerList();
    // Process the listeners last to first, notifying
    // those that are interested in this event
    for (int i = listeners.length-2; i>=0; i-=2) {
    if (listeners[i] == ItemOperationListener.class) {
    if (e == null)
    e = new ItemOperationEvent(this,item);
    ((ItemOperationlistener)listeners[i+1]).itemRemoved(e);
    4. The listener and the registration .
    public class OrderBook implements ItemOperationListener
    private Invoice invoice; // invoice instance.
    public OrderBook()
    // register for event updates .
    invoice.additemOperationListener(this);
    public void itemAdded(ItemOperationEvent ioe)
    String tobeAdded = ioe.getItem();
    calculate();
    public void itemRemoved(ItemOperationEvent ioe)
    String tobeRemoved = ioe.getItem();
    calculate();
    public void calculate()
    I hope this gives a picture of the standard method of event delivery in java . However you can even follow the Observer, Observable pattern (see the documentation for java.util.Observer, Observable).
    Hope this helps,
    Manish.

  • Help!! iphoto consolidated all of my events into one event!

    15 years of organization all ruined!! What can I do? Is there a "go back" or history fix for this?
    I have not down a recent time machine back up. Am I screwed? If I auto-split the events, that might be just as bad. I have organized all of these photos by hand over the years.

    1 - iPhoto does not change organization - users do - you may have done something inadvertenly
    2 - with no backup you have no backjup - the reason you must always have a backup is to "go Back" after an error - be it user, software or hardwary - no matter the reason with no backup you have no backup and no way to go back
    3 - since you have made the choice not to have a current backup your choices now are to autosplit or do it manually again
    4 - I strongly suggest that you start having Time Machine running all the time so you have an hourly backup available for the future - bad things will happen again sooner or later - and next time it may be total loss of everythign - not just of yoru organization

  • How do I split a single event with many clips into multiples events, one event per date?

    I archived the video from my AVCHD camera into a Final Cut video archive. Later I imported this into iMovie. All the clips from this archive (spanning several months) are dumped into a single event. If I recall, older versions of iMovie would import video into separate events for each day. Then I would go through and give each event a meaningful name (e.g., "Mary's Birthday").
    This is what I would like. Is there a way to split this very long event into multiple events, one for each day that is present in the event?

    Not automatically but with imovie 10 you can create new events with any name you like then move clips into them from other events  (Just like FCP 10.1).   See:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov1d890f00b
    You can also choose to display clips in an event grouped by date.

  • I can't split a home DVD into multiple events. Why?

    I have a DVD of old super 8 movies that I converted into a DVD years ago and want to extract selected segments as short movie clips. I have been able to load the entire DVD as a single event but I wanted to break this single event into multiple events based on various themes. My problem is that I don't seem to be able to split the content at all. The "Split event before selected Clip" always appears to be grayed out. What am I doing wrong?
    paulfromcrystal

    I just figured it out.  Somehow I didn't change it to the correct code of 1.  So on the second shot of 5 allowed I realized I didn't change and save.  Now the dvd played.

  • How do I merge events - not just combining pictures into one event?

    I have a iPhoto 09 and haven't upgraded yet. I have a bunch of events and it's hard to get through all of them. Can I combine the events while retaining the seperate events? Sort of an event within an event; not adding all the pictures from one event into anoher event and losing the deliniation.
    Or, can I archive them somewhere so they don't appear in my Event list?

    Can I combine the events while retaining the seperate events?
    No. If you merger events you'll end up with just one event representing those that you merged. 
    To make selected events invisible in the Events mode do the following:
    1 - select the events and double click on one of them to open all in the same window.
    2 - type Command+A to select all photos.
    3 - right or Control-click on any of the selected photos.
    4 - click on Hide in the window that comes up:
    That will hid those events from the list of other events in the Events mode and wherever else those photos are, i.e. albums, books, etc.
    To makes the Events visible again use the View ➙ Hidden Photos menu option:
    To make them permanently viewable you'll need to select those events and follow steps 1-4 above but click on the Show button this time.

  • How to trigger events from inside an event to another event-stru​cture

    Hello,
    i have two event-structures (struct1 and struct2) which are running at the same time parallel in a loop.
    Currently there is an keydown-event in struct1, so when i press an ok-button then the corresponding event executes in struct1.
    struct2 is used to execute menu-entries from a custom runtime-menue.
    What i want to do is to select a menue-entry (which executes an event in struct2) and the from inside this event i want to trigger an event in struct1 (means simulate keypress ? ).
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for the help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If I read this problem correctly, you are essentially trying to do the same thing from different events in different event structures.  This type of problem is very common in UI based programs, since you often want to have the same action triggered by multiple events (e.g. button press, menu selection, keyboard shortcut).  You may wish to consider a change in your basic architecture.  Instead of splitting your code into two event structure loops, try splitting it into an event structure loop and a task handling loop.  The event structure only processes events.  At each event, it generates one or more tasks, which are passed to the task loop via queue.  Traditionally, the task data would be an enum for the task name and a variant for the task data.  You can find a discussion of this type of design here.
    For new designs, I would recommend a task object (use LabVIEW classes).  The task data type is the parent task object.  The actual tasks will be child objects.  This simplifies your top-level code quite a bit and makes it easily extensible without changing the top-level code.

    Have a calendar table for example and then probably using UNION ALL from date  and stat date JOIN the Calendar table
    SELECT ID,From date  FROM tbl
    union all
    SELECT ID,End_dt FROM tbl
    with tmp(plant_date) as
       select cast('20130101' as datetime)
       union all
       select plant_date + 1
         from tmp
        where plant_date < '20131231'
    select*
      from  tmp

  • HT4236 My pictures get shuffled into wrong events folders when syncing to iPad mini. Any suggestions?

    My pictures get shuffled into wrong events when syncing to iPad mini. Any suggestions?

    Photos are sorted by date modified when you sync from iTunes. If you have them arranged out of date sequence, they will not sync that way onto the iPad. You can read more here.

  • IPhoto splitting events into individual files with long numbers as names?

    Okay so technical first.  I am running Mavericks with iPhoto version 9.5.1 on both my MacBook and iMac.  I have had minor problems/irritations with iphoto for awhile but recently upgraded to Mavericks and the problems increase.  I mainly use iPhoto for organization, I like to do any editing in Photoshop.  My problem is that it is splitting most of my events into individual files, so there's one photo in an event, but there will be several pics from that day.  They are given names that are just numbers, like 20120219-153730.  They have the same date, you an see it below the Title which is the numbers.  I checked preferences, it is set to one event per day.  I have no idea what is going on.  There are still some folders though, so I don't know why it is still affecting some of them.  And the Photostreams for the month are still there.  I tried switching to Picasa but the way the Mac (or is it iPhoto?) organizes the files on the actual computer is a pain too.  They've switched from all the files being in a folder named the date they were taken to a numbered folder within another folder, maybe even in another numbered folder.   And there will be one pic in there even if I took 10 that day.  That is where the number on the Events is coming from.  If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.  It is doing this on both of my computers. 

    Do the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    Next continue with:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1.

  • Split Events Into Clips

    I'm importing DV video into iMovie that is recovered from a reformatted drive, and all of the original camera info like dates and such are gone. The video is intact with sound; however, iMovie cannot tell when the camera goes on and off, and each file is imported into one big clip. Some parts of the video should be separated into separate events, as they are not related, and I cannot find a way to split the event.
    Any suggestions? The files are .dv, and I don't really want to resort to Quicktime to separate the video to organize it.

    I had the same "one big clip" issue when importing old 8mm/Hi8 via a Sony camcorder last weekend. I couldn't split events because there was only "one" clip to work with. Our local Apple store showed me another way that should work for you, too:
    1. Locate where two scenes change using the little red vertical line.
    2. Click in that area and shrink the yellow editing frame down to its minimum size (I was able to get it down to 0.1 seconds or about three frames worth).
    3. Delete that short piece and the clip should be split there.
    After I went through my imports doing that, it was easy to use the "Split events" function to rearrange everything.
    Hope this is useful...

  • Splitting event into its own library

    My main iPhoto library is growing to the point where it will barely fit on a DVD.
    I'd like to split out the larger of the two events in this library into its own library.
    I do have iPhoto Library Manager...
    I'd like to know how to do this as I really should get around to making my periodic DVD backups.

    Yeah, I did just that - but as for the actual move, I was momentarily stumped until I realized I just had to click and drag the event in question into the new library.
    Done and done, now am "starting over" by moving all the pics previously tagged with keywords into new events.
    I said it before and I'll say it again - I simply do not know why I was so hesitant to use iPhoto in the first place! It's far better than my old "folder tree" system.
    Thanks for the big hint.

  • Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

    Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?  I don't need the calendar grid.  I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates.  Is that possible? 

    Not easily. Two possibilities:
    1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
    2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
    The first one will probably give you what you want.
