Why does iphoto not import my photos chronologically into events

I have just updated to the latest version of iphoto and infuriatingly whenever I now import photos, rather than placing them at the bottom of the series of events in chronological order, iphoto now imports them as the second event next to photos from 2000, so I have to move them manually down to the bottom, even though the date being shown is correct, can anyone help?

I have the same. I think it changed with iPhoto 11. I drag them all the way down all the time. Try to set the chronological order, under "Presentation" (sorry I work in a French version Presentation is at the left side of "Window") and then right in the middle "sort events" and check chronological order. Hope this helps.

  • Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

    Hi peeps.
    why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder,  select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files??? 
    all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto??  conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here?  Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.  So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
      help please.

    We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
    Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
    If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
    The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I  subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
    means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
    You could just move the whole Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Why does iPhoto 6 imports all photos in two folders: modified and original

    I upgraded from iPhoto 5 to 6. Now I have all my photos in the order and with the name I have given to the rolls. Great!
    However, everytime I import new photos from my compact flash card iPhoto automatically modifies the photos by reducing the size and adjusting the orientation. These photos are on average 25-50% of the original size and are saved under the folder: pictures /iPhoto library /modified.
    At the same time iPhoto saves the original photos to the folder: pictures/iPhoto library / originals.
    The problem is that having more then 6GB of photos this set-up starts to fill my harddisk (presently an additional 2 GB).
    How can I change or cancel this feature. Does anybody have an idea or similiar expierence.
    thanks, Baguette

    You can't.
    Does anybody have an idea or similiar expierence.
    Everybody does.
    iPhoto is not just an image viewer, but is a Database with a built-in image viewer, version control and lightweight editing.
    A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way. This also includes photos that have been auto-rotated by your camera.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    So each element is there for a reason and there is no actual duplication.
    The notion of version control (the ability to revert to an Original) is central to the philosophy of the application, and if you don't want the feature, then the application may not be for you. There are many image viewers available.

  • Why does iPhoto only import digital photo files at one-half or less of the original jpg file size?

    My 24" 2008 iMac, running 10.5.8 and iPhoto '08 (300 GB harddrive, 67 GB avail, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 800 MH sdram), only imports my digital photo images directly from the camera at about 1/2 or less of the original file size.  I thought it might be my 12.2 mgp. Samsung camera, until I just a 14 mpg. Lumix, and its doing the same thing.  A 5 mg. images imports at around 2.4 mgs...  a 14 mg image imports under 6...    Its always done this, but until I bought the new camera, I assumed it was my peripheral issue.

    Hi, I wonder if it's just maybe compressing them, highlight one in iPhoto & click on the little i icon for info, what is the size in Pixels compared to the original?

  • Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

    There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
    Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

  • Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad?

    Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad? Is it possible to go all the way back to 2001? IOS 10.2, old iPd...

    iPhoto only imports from the Camera roll.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Why does IPhoto  create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream.  I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000.  I am using new Ipad and the Mac is  running Mountain Lion

    Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library?  I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC.  I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos.  The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor.  I am using IPhoto 11.
    Thanks in advance

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

  • Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Elements 11 - why does it not recognize RAW photos from Canon 70D?

    Hi,
    The 70D requires Camera Raw 8.2 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
    Your choices are
    1) Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12
    2) Use the Canon DPP application to convert the CR2 files to TIF files and then import the TIF files into the organizer
    3) Use the free download of the Adobe DNG converter to convert the CR2 file to DNG files and then import the DNG files to the organizer.
    Note: if you are running on XP or Vista, you need version 8.3 of the converter - the latest (8.4) will not work.
    DNG  Converter 8.4

    Why will iphoto not import a PDF image now - it has previously?

    This feature was removed with iPhoto 11. You'll need to ask Apple why:

    In the meantime you can convert a pdf to jpeg or tiff using Preview.

  • Why does iPhoto now import videos?

    I'm shooting a video and production stills with my DSLR. Why does iPhoto '11 import the videos? They just take up disk space. I can't do anything with them in iPhoto. Can I tell iPhoto to import the stills only?

    iPhoto has always had the ability to import certain formats of video.  Also, iPhoto video can be seen in iMovie for editting.  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2196.

  • Why does iPhoto keep defaulting to Photo Stream being off?

    I am running iPhoto '11 (9.2) and frequently it will prompt me to turn Photo Stream on when I have already turned it on.  This is frustrating because it means that it has to download all the pictures that I've taken in the past 30 days!  Why does it not recognize and continue to recognize that Photo Stream?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • Keywords not imported unless photos copied into iPhoto library.

    Hey, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster here.
    I just noticed that iPhoto '09 does not appear to import keywords buried in the EXIF data with the photo unless one copies the photos ("Copy items to the iPhoto library" is ticked) to the iPhoto database. This is unlike previous versions of iPhoto, which would bring along the keywords even if one opted to keep the photos outside the iPhoto database.
    I for one have always opted to not copy over my photos, but now it seems I will have to do so in order to take full advantage of iPhoto '09.
    Anyone else notice this?

    The keywords for all my photos are embedded in the IPTC:keywords field using Adobe Bridge (which also embeds the keywords in the XMP-dc:subject and XMP-lr:hierarchicalsubject fields as well). This has been my modus operandi through several versions of iLife now with no problems until now.
    I again just tried importing a photo both ways (copying and not copying to library), and the photo that was not copied to the iPhoto library does not display the keywords, but the copied photo does. I did this experiment with a fresh, clean iPhoto '09 library, so I know it can't be corruption from an updated '08 library.
    What’s odd is that all other metadat imports, for example, the GPS metadata. iPhoto had no problem parsing those fields, or any of the camera data fields. In light of that, I’m fairly certain that this isn’t any sort of permissions issue either on the photo itself or the volume it’s stored on; plus, I’m pretty finicky about my metadata (using a combination of exiftool, Google Earth, GeoTagger, and Bridge), so I’m pretty sure my metadata is in order and not corrupt.
    Did you guys really have no problem when you duplicated this issue? Hmm... odd. Any suggestions?

  • Why is iPhoto not importing JPG files?

    I am trying to import photos from a Canon EOS Rebel to my iMac.  It has always worked fine but it is now showing that the JPG file is not a recognized format. I was able to import the same photo to an old older MacBook Pro running the same OSX 10.6.8 and iPhoto '11 9.1.3.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
