Hello everybody,
I recently purchased an iMac (couple of days) and I am quite ignorant when it comes to iMac or Apple products. I transferred all my photos from by back up hard drive to iPhoto but I had 2 big problems once it transferred the pictures:
1. The originals pictures were stored in folders with its assigned name and date the pictures were taken (except OLD family pictures which I assigned a year only instead of a date). Here the problem is the iPhoto copied TWICE al my folders, hence all my pictures. First how can I delete the folders and stop the event from recurring in the future?
How may I change the date on the pictures? I tried editing the dates but for example there's a folder with a beginning date of March 23, 2003 (which in this case I don't know where it got from) and an ending date of June, 2006. I was able to change the starting date but not the ending date.
In my pc I had Picasa which is a program like iPhoto but in Picasa you can easily change the date of a folder or picture and you are able to look into the properties of a particular picture, so you know exactly when the picture was taken. You can also move a picture or a set of pictures to another folder if you want but I find myself having lots of dificulties doing the same in iPhoto.
I am not saying that the pc is better than the Imac, it is just very difficult for me using commands like "Cut" and "Paste" don't work the same in the iMac or pressing "Control" then mouse click does work the same on my iMac.
PLEASE HELP!!!
