Why are my photo events scattered in iPhoto?

I just got am iPad 2.  When I did my synch to move from my iPad, I noticed all of my events broke apart so I now I have several of the same events with different pictures in them.  Any idea what is going on?

Hello!
Try the following:
1. CLOSE IPHOTO and make sure you have a back-up of your Mac, or at least of your iPhoto library
2. Find your iPhoto Library in the Finder - usually in the Pictures folder - and click the gear and "show package content" See:
3. Once you have clicked on "show package content" you see a Finder-window with technical-sounding folders and files.
Trash the folders (if you have them, which is not guaranteed)
Apple TV Photo Cache
iPod Photo Cache
iPhone Photo Cache
Is your issue resolved?

  • Why are my photos sorted alphabetical in iPhoto (which is what I want)  but in date order on my iPhone & iPad?

    One for the iPad or iPhone forums I would guess. There is no iPhoto for iOS

  • Why are some photo events missing when I synch my iPad with the new iMac?

    Very confused user here.
    I've just bought the new IMac, When I connected my iPad2 to the iMac and opened iPhoto on the iMac it asked to import photos. This proceeded, but when I checked it became clear that not all the events had been imported, even though iPhoto was saying that all the photos had been imported. There doesn't appear to be any reason why certain events have been missed - no difference in title, or date. How can I make sure all the photos are imported?

    If the iPad works like the iPhone you can move photos into the Camera Roll as shown here:
    Then from there it should sync to your Mac. That's how I got the screenshot above to my iMac and into this post.
    If you have an iCloud account and Photo Stream enabled on both your iMac and iPad new photos to the Camera Roll will automatically be synced with your iMac and imported into iPhoto as long as you have the iPhoto/Photo Stream preferences set this way:
    Of course this is assuming the iPad functions similarly to the iPhone in this regard and I should think it would.

  • Why are my photos i receive from iphoto and aperture such poor quality? On my iMac, they look fine, but when i get the pictures, they are awful. The color looks like there's a gray fog on them, and they're not focused well.

    I use 2 great cameras, download them to iphoto, and now trying aperture. I edit the photos, they look fine, order pictures, and they are terrible! Looks like there's a gray haze on them, their dark, color is awful. Please help me out here! 

    What service are you using?
    What is the color space of the image? If it is AdobeRGB, try using sRGB.

    iPhotos is still in your Applications folder. The iPhoto Library is still in your /Home/Pictures/ folder.

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

  • Why are my photos arranged differently on my ipad to my computer

    why are the photos on my ipad album in a different order to that on my computer?

    What version of iOS is your iPad on ? From here :
    If you are not using iPhoto or Aperture on Mac OS X, and if your device is using the latest software, it sorts photos in ascending order by the Date Modified.
    iOS 4 sorts photos by the Date Taken tag of the photos. iOS 3.1.3 and earlier sort photos alphanumerically by the photos' file names.
    So if you want them in a different order, depending upon your iOS version you will either need to modify the 'date modified', 'date taken' or their filenames

  • Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

    why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

  • Why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

    why are the photos i print much darker than the monitor image?

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? What program are you printing from?
    Some programs such as Photoshop give the option to print to CMYK or sRGB color spaces.  Even though the printer uses CMYK inks the driver is expecting sRGB data.  If CMYK is selected the prints will be much too dark.
    Another thing to check is the media type.  If you are printing on plain paper and have seelcted Photo paper the prints have too much ink.

  • Why are my photos importing from my sd card out of order?

    Why are my photos importing out of sequence when uploading from an sd card?

    The card is probably sorted alphanumerically in ascending order, i.e. a1, a2, a3, etc.  So set your view option to: Sort by Title Ascending. Then check to see if that's correct.  If not change it.
