When viewing an Event in iPhoto, I can't get back to library

I am stuck in an event and I can't get back to the library. Sometimes I have a button on the top left "All Events" but often it is not there. I do not have the menu on the left to click back to the library.
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences (user ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iphoto.plist
and restart iPhoto - reset any preferences you may have changed (they will be set to the default now)

  • Help! songs on external drive can't get back into library

    Hi everyone,
    My PC laptop internal HD crashed last week. 3000+ songs on external hard drive designated D: I had a new intrernal HD installed, downloaded iTunes 7.3 and now am stuck. What is the easy way to get the external HD songs back in the library? Went to preferences>advanced and changed to D:\Music 2007 to match the EHD desigantion with no luck.
    I have read countless posts and tried different methods. If I go to the "my computer" and click on External HD, I see the files and can double click and they will copy into the library one by one as I do this, but this will be too time consuming to do each one this way.
    On the EHD the folder is designated D:\Music 2007. Any help is appreciated. I've tried to import, consolidate and a few other attempts with no luck. I don't see a "itl" or other type of file in the D: drive either like I've read on other posts. Have tried the shift key while launcing itunes as well with no luck.
    Please help,

    Drag the folder Music 2007 on your D: drive to the Library listing in the iTunes Source List (left-hand column).
    This will recreate the contents of your Library but not the playlists and related information (dates added, play counts, etc.)
    Unfortunately, if you don't have a copy of the iTunes library files from your old hard drive, it's probably the best you can do.

  • I manually moved my itunes folder-can't get back my library

    I manually copied my whole itunes folder from *media drive b* to *drive a (the mac osx system drive)* since I needed to free up space on my media drive. The original itunes library file and the itunes music library.xml file created 6/2005 are still intact on the media drive with all the music. How do I force itunes to see this again. It is seeing an old itunes library I made instead of my current library.
    Help !
    Thanks

    Here's the fix... I did overwrite the Itunes library file data that had all my playlists and other data. But to get back my songs and movies, all I had to do was drag the iTunes music folder onto iTunes and in 10 minutes walla, there was all my tunes and vids... Whew !!.. Play counts, date added etc, all wiped and starting form scratch. That's ok. *Lesson learned; use itune's functions to move your library from drive to drive !*

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • How do i return calendar to original view?   All I can see is an hour by hour grid...can't get back to page where I can enter new appointments/events

    How do I return calendar to original view?   All I can see is an hour by hour grid...can't get back to page where I can enter new appointments/events

         Hi, at the bottom bar you should see a series of five buttons. Press the "Month" button if you desire to see the view of the month. As for creating a new calendar event simply press the "+" button in the upper right-hand corner to create a new appointment. *
    * Please note that this is all within the app called "Calendar".

  • Photo Stream issue.  Photo Stream shows 263 photos when viewed on the iMac, 289 when viewed on the iPad and 327 when viewed on the iPhone.  How can this be?

  • When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

  • Just installed iPhoto 09 Can't get past first screen

    I just installed iPhoto 09. When I first opened the program after installation, I was prompted to upgrade my photo library, I did so. On the next screen ("Look up photo locations"), I am prompted to click yes or no, but all I get is the spinning ball -- the program doesn't respond. I have tried rebooting the computer; I have tried deleting the com.apple.iphoto.plist Can't get beyond "Look up photo locations" no matter what I do -- and I don't even care about the locations!
    Any other ideas? I have a Time machine backup (I hope!) I've never had to restore from it before, so may need guidance wit that too!
    THanks in advance for your help. I'm beginning to regret my purchase...

    Log into another account on your Mac and see if iPhoto will open and run there. If not then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
    If it does run OK in the other account then there's something in your main account that's the culprit. It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's. Here's how to see if that's the case:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
    4 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
    Click to view full size
    5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

  • I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2 I want to buy iDVD and I Movie, but bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet.  Hesistant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?

    I updated my OS from 10.6.4., to 10.8.2.  I want to buy iDVD and iMovie, but I bought iPhoto and can't get it to work yet.  I'm hesitant to buy the others without now having the original applications on my laptop. Do I need to buy the older versions first?  They are probably on my Snow Leopard install disc, but I am now running Mt Lion that I bought, and downloaded a few days ago...so I don't want to insert the old OS disc, thinking it might want to reinstall the old OS...  Thanks,

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    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.  

  • When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

    When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites.  I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar.   This problem only started
    a couple of days ago.  Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

    Hi,
    Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
    doesn't shown up in IE?
    I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
    in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
    Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
    You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
    %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff

  • I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version.  I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available?

    Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9: 
    1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
    2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks.  Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

    You may have blundered into "Full Screen" mode, an abomination ported from iOS, the iPhone Operating System, land of tiny screens and one-at-a-time Applications.
    Try clicking the double-arrows in the extreme upper right of the MenuBar or Window.

  • HT201413 I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again?

    I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

    Fixed it!
    1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
    2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
    3. Connected to itunes
    4. Pressed restore and update ipod
    Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode
