Sync Events AND Albums ?

Is there a trick to get both Events and Albums listed on the ATV?
I use allways Events which contain all the pictures available and sometimes an Album with a selection for slide show. Would be nice to see both Event and Album on the large screen....
kind regards
Werner

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I'm afraid there is no way to sync both albums and events.
You could always make smart albums that reflect events or just albums that reflect events, but I guess that's not what your are after.

Aperture-sorted event and album images out of order

I am syncing events and albums from Aperture to my iPad through iTunes. In iOS iPhoto the images within these events and albums have a seemingly random sort order, rendering the application useless to me. The sort order is fine in the iOS Photos application, so I am thinking it is a problem with iOS iPhoto. Anyone have a fix for this? I thought it would surely be fixed in the new update, but it was not. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iOS iPhoto, have unsynced and resynced albums, etcetera.
I know this pertains to old threads, but couldn't find one that was coherent. Hopefully this one is.

I have no fix to offer as I am affected by it too. I posted one of the original threads on this and have used the Apple report a problem system to report it too. I am amazed this issue wasn't addressed in the update. It makes iPhoto on the iPad unusable for me.
I've just submitted repeat feedback on the problem to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html

Iphoto, Creating events and Albums

I have attempted to create events and albums on the photo app in Ipad with no success. I have also synced the iPad to itunes and transfered pictures from an existing iphoto (macbook pro) event with no success. How can i create events and albums on the Ipad so i can seperate new pictures into specific areas for viewing.

You can't. Photos on the iPad doesn't have organising features. You can't create groupings, or copy from one event/whatever to another. You have limited features in the 'camera roll' for images you've saved onto the iPad - you can delete them or share them.
Your organising has to be done on the Mac in iPhoto or Aperture. Both create Events based on metadata from the image (date and time and so on). You can make albums and sync the albums to the iPad.
I know that isn't what you want, but it's all we've got. It bears repeating - the iPad is not a completely standalone device - it's dependent on a desktop and iTunes for its full functionality.

Problem Selecting specific iPhoto events and albums from BB Desktop Software

Hello,
The Desktop Software is not showing the specific events and albums from iPhotos. Fine on iTunes but not iPhoto.
Anybody can help fix??

did you resolve this? I am still having issues syncing iPhoto with my PB

Another way to look at Events and albums (smart and dumb)

Maybe this will help others, but I had an epiphany regarding iPhoto 08 and the organizational method (or lack there of) in regards to Events and albums, etc.
Here it goes: iPhoto is now iTunes for pictures. I know it has been said before, but this time it truly is.
When you import a CD with iTunes, it creates a directory of songs in your library. When you import a group of pictures in iPhoto, it similarly imports them as an event. Events = CD's, plain and simple.
Think of searching for photos the same way you would search for songs. By typing in the artist, the album the specific title - etc you can easily find a song. With events, all the pictures are linked to the title of the event, so searching is very easy and fast.
Gone are the days of complicated hierarchy systems in Winamp or iPhoto 06. If you want a photo, you type the name of the event - or a keyword tagged into the photo.
But say you want some albums of specific songs, or in this case, photos. You can create albums or smart albums to accomplish this for quick access. Or maybe a Christmas album that automatically updates with every christmas photo entered and tagged.
I am an Aperture user and all my folders are setup like this:
Vacations --> Beach --> Florida --> 2007
If I switched to iPhoto, they will be created in a simple event, for example:
Florida Beach Vacation 2007
Now every picture within that event name would be searchable by typing in florida, beach etc. Even deeper, by tagging individual photos by the person's name or any other photo-specific info, these pics would even be more searchable.
Anyway, I hope this helps some people grasp the new concepts of organization in iPhoto 08. Surely it can be done several different ways, but I think this may be the best way to do it.

Events = CD's, plain and simple.
Great analogy! May I then add,
Albums = playlists
I see people here asking why a photo can't be in an album and in No event; perhaps the iTunes analogy would be helpful to them. If you don't have the song in your library (because you don't have that CD) then you can't put it in a playlist. (Nevermind that you can download single songs now - it doesn't fit the analogy. Remember when you had to buy the hard copy.)
Thanks for the information.
Regards.

Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11. However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option. Is there any way to do this?

I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.

HELP! Recovered iphotolibrary lost ALL events and albums?!

Without a clear reason and absolutely no warning, iPhoto (on my brand new MacBookPro with all current updates etc.) suddenly showed '0' photos in my <80t photo library. After the itinial panic I was able to 'recover' the photos with 'recover library' option by Option+open. To my shock the entire photo library has been 'recovered' in a single 'recovered photos' event. Total catastrophe.. Could someone please have an idea how to get iPhoto to find the previous event and album hierarch? Grateful for ANY tips out there. Thank you!!

You can try rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.
If that doesn't help then there is no fix, I'm afraid.

How to quickly compare photos in events and albums?

Hi there,
Was wondering - I have a ton of photos from several years in my iphoto events/general photos, of which the good ones are arranged neatly into iphoto albums.
Problem is, I want to clean up my iphotos and get rid of all the extra photos that aren't very good and didn't make it into an album. In other words, if the photo was worth keeping, it's already in an album, so I just want to delete everything from my events that's not in an album. However, is there any easy way to go through the events and find out which photos are already in an album so that I can delete them if they aren't? I understand that if I delete photos from events, it will also delete it from the album, so that makes it really annoying and tricky.
It would take so, so long to go through every single photo and flip back and forth between events and albums to see which ones are in albums and which ones aren't. From what I can tell (unless I'm wrong), I can't even open two windows of iphoto so I can compare side by side.
If anyone knows a solution, I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Tracy

File -> New Smart Album
Album -> Is not -> Any
will find them for you.
Option-command-delete will move them to the trash
Empty the iPhoto trash.
Empty the System trash and they are gone.
One tip: delete in batches of about 100 or so. Deleting more at a time can cause problems.

HT4889 If I transfer iphoto library from a hard disk to a new iMac will all my events and albums stay unchanged?

They should, yes. You should have a full and complete backup as well, of course.

Burn Events AND Albums to DVD

I would like to burn a copy of my iPhoto '08 library (which will fit on a single DVD) that will be re-mountable within iPhoto. However, it seems to allow me to EITHER burn all the events, but then no albums are retained OR burn all the albums, but then only photos which have been added to those albums are burned to disc. I would simply like to have a COMPLETE iPhoto library backup. The wrinkle is that most of the photos were not copied into the iPhoto Library folder/package, but rather referenced in an external folder. I would be willing to have iPhoto consolidate the originals from the external folder into a new single iPhoto Library package. Is there anyway to accomplish this?
Thanks,
JV

most of the photos were not copied into the iPhoto Library folder/package, but rather referenced in an external folder.
This is the worst case scenario - a mixed library, part managed, part referenced and is a recipe for disaster.
This thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1356720&tstart=0
mentions an app called AliasHerder which will make the library a referenced one. Then you can simply use the Share -> Burn command to back up the library to a disk that
will be re-mountable within iPhoto.
Simply make sure you have the Library selected in the iPhoto Window, not a particular Event or Album.

IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
So far I have:
-made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
-re-set iSync
-done an archive and install
-had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
-they replaced my iPhone
...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
1) iPhone Sync issue
2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Can't sync all events and albums from iphoto 08 to ipod touch 4th generation using itunes

Hi from San Juan! Just got my new ipod touch 4th generation, since my 2nd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and when it finished its sync process, I noticed that out of my 16,000 + photos in iphoto, only 2,435 were synced. Tried again numerous times, changing options, ("selected albums and events", "all" etc,), but nothing worked. Ever since I've had my Mac, I've only used iphoto to download, organize and share my photo collection; same cameras also. With my previous ipod, the sync process ran smoothly, and always got ALL my albums and events under the "photos" icon of my ipod. What's happened? What's changed? I'll welcome suggestions and / or solutions. Thanks in advance. Sandra

where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch..... So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot.....
thank u

Duplicate photo, events, and album questions...

I'm trying to better understand my iPhoto album and how to clean it up so I have a few questions that should help me out.
1) When deleting events, do the photos in those events get deleted from the library and from any albums they are in?
2) I am finding there are many duplicates spread out across many events, when I only imported those photos from my phone once. What's the best way to import photos so I don't end up with duplicates?
3) Is there any way to not have any events?
4) When importing, does iPhoto split photos into events based on the day the photo was taken, or based on the day I import into iPhoto.
So far, I think that's all.

1) When deleting events, do the photos in those events get deleted from the library and from any albums they are in?
Yes if you empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash. And if you have a default managed library
2) I am finding there are many duplicates spread out across many events, when I only imported those photos from my phone once. What's the best way to import photos so I don't end up with duplicates?
Are you seeing this in iPhoto? If so please describe your work flow in detail
3) Is there any way to not have any events?
No. Events is one view of your library. You can ignore events but you must have them.
4) When importing, does iPhoto split photos into events based on the day the photo was taken, or based on the day I import into iPhoto.
The split into events is determined by your settings in the iPhoto preferences

HT4362 iPhoto 9.4.2: why it is impossible to display slide shows on an Apple TV (only events and albums)?

Hi all,
I have iPhoto 9.4.2 and an AppleTV (2nd generation).
On the AppleTV I have no problems in playing pictures stored in the iPhoto library when the pictures are organized in an Event or in an Album, but when my pictures are organized in a Slide Show, they aren't visible in the AppleTV.
My purpose is to play on the AppleTV a slide show with exactly the same picture sequence and music I've set up in the Slide Show settings on my Mac...
I know that in theory I could use an Album, but unfortunately the AppleTV does not retain the picture sequence and the music...

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem does not appear with the new library the old library is the culprit.
In that case make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Difference between Events and Albums

Hi everybody!!
can someone explain to me the difference when I am using Iphoto between creating an event versus creating an album? In my case the albums that I currently have come from the events. It feels like i am having two pictures at the same time, one stored at albums and one stored in events
I noticed when i plug my Iphone, I can select the albums I want to download to my Iphone, but besides this...arent they the same?...I want to know how each one functions and its purpose
thanks

An Event is simply a folder of images on your Hard Drive. When you import the pics iPhoto splits them into Events based on the date the pic was taken. They have limited organisation capability - date and time only.
For a pic to be in two Events then there needs to be two copies of the file on the HD
Albums are virtual things. There is no corresponding folder on the HD. A pic can be in 100 albums and require no extra copies of the file on the HD. You can organise your albums in pretty much any way you can think of. You can go by date - rather pointless - or by theme: All our Dog pics, all or kids pics etc. You can use Smart Albums and keywords to automate that process. One of the best and easiest uses is to rate the pics and then make a Smart Album for 5 star pics: then you have all your favourite pics easily found.
Albums can be put into Folders, Events cannot. Albums can be sorted internally, Events can only be sorted by date and time. Albums are much more flexible organisational tools than Events.
