You’re an angel!

Thank you so much for these wonderful, easy-to-follow instructions. They got me exactly where I wanted to go, and I absolutely could not have gotten there without you…. I had tried everything I could think of and looked everywhere I could imagine.

I’m up and running!

@Gloria, good luck! As I told Cas in comment #4, you might consider checking out the applestore in your area and see about signing up for some classes or personal training. It helps!

@Jean, I forgot to reply to your comment the other day. I think anyone can have a blog or web site! check out http://www.wordpress.com to sign up for a free blog. From there, you can write your own tutorials.

Google also offers ~~http://www.blogspot.com~~ http://www.blogger.com, and that is a good option too! Also for free!

Give it a go!

no, Gloria, you would probably want to use Finder to drag and drop photos into a memory stick or card.

Good luck!

Can I use the same tutorial you made for your Dad to drag photo’s to a memory card for my digital picture frame???
Thanks

This is a delightful and very descriptive site that helped me use iphoto to do some basic things that are not obvious– like there is no “save as” command, which I find confusing. And I enjoyed the personal notes to your dad! My dad also could use some basic help like this, but I don’t know how to make such a beautiful website.

Sheryl, not sure where in the tutorial it lists “hit browse” but there is no “browse” button per se, browse means “go to” – as in go to where the file is located.

OK. Maybe I’m just lame, but there is never a “browse” button anywhere to go to. I get everything up to the point where it says “hit ‘browse’” and then I’m lost…again. What is it about 60 year olds, anyway?

Awe, thank you so much Meg. I am glad this helped! I’ll be 50 in a couple of years, so 50 must be the new 30 if 60 is the new 40!!!

Sounds good to me!

Have fun w/ your new Mac!

Many thanks Deb, this was just what this 60+ needed too. I’ll go up to Sydney for the Apple training sessions, but in the meantime I needed step by step instructions to get some tasks happening. You are a gem indeed! I’ll be back to try out your next lot of brilliant instructions.
cheers,
Meg

Okay, Cas, here is the Smart Folders tutorial. I think it’s what you are looking for.

http://www.splashofstyle.com/archives/2009/06/29/iphoto-smart-albums/

So, specifically, you would create an Event (or events) named “Stampin Gab”

Create a Smart Folder for each month. Make sure you use the “duplicate” option so you only have to change the date.

If you find that Smart Albums aren’t working for you, then perhaps creating an Event for each month would work better.

Hope that helps!

I think I understand your question more clearly now.

Events are just one big lump of photos. You CAN’T sub-divide in events.

I think what you would want is a smart album.

Create one big event with all the Stampin Gab photos in it.

Ya know what, I am just going to show you. I will create a new tutorial. It will be easier to show you that way.

Be back soon

Oh, I forgot, I didn’t figure out how albums work and maybe that is the answer but I couldn’t figure out how they are different from Events and how to title the individual photos in there too

Thanks so much for answering, Debbie. We do not have an Apple store in the whole state of Arkansas, much to my regret. If this is too much for you, I understand but I will try to restate my question. I hold classes teaching the use of rubber stamps and the classes are called Stampin Gab. I hold them once a month. I made Events (by your instructions…thank you!) for each month’s Stampin Gab but instead of having 2 years of events separate, I want to have one event but with the 24 months of pictures (three pictures per month). When I drag one month’s event into the Stampin Gab Event, it loses its title once inside of it and they are all in there but randomly without any name and not together as a group. I also can’t find a way to individually title them. Is this clearer? thank you for your consideration.

Hey Cas, glad the tutorial worked out for you.

I am not sure I understand your question exactly, but maybe albums will help you.

You can create regular albums, or “smart” albums. It helps to organize your photos.

Getting used to your Mac takes a little time, if you are near an Applestore, you might consider signing up for their One to One service. I think it’s $99 for a years worth of personal training.

Gosh you answered almost everything this 60 year old struggling diva was trying to find out! The only things I still don’t understand is under events, can I make a folder so that I may have pictures for classes and then folders under that with the name of the class and the photos that go with that class. I love my Mac but I am struggling how to actually USE it! Thank you sooooo much.

Glad to hear it, Barb!

Have fun w/ your new Mac. My mom and dad both love theirs. It took awhile for my dad to get used to it, but now he’s a pro!

I just got a Mac – and this is EXACTLY what I needed for ebay and craigslist!
You are a gem!
Thank you!
