Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

  • IPHOTO 11 does not allow me to move photos from one event to another.

    I recently upgraded to IPHOTO 11 and now I cannot Cut/Paste photos from one EVENT to another, I cannot flag a photo and  move the photo to another EVENT.  It will only allow me to create a new Event from the the flagged photo's.  IS there a bug in IPHOTO11 and can I back out if this problem is not resolved?

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    reboot, 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 the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select options #1, #2 and #6. 
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Moving Photos from One Event to Another

    I don't entirely understand how to do this. When I want to move photos from one event to another, I usually just drag the photos from one event to another. This works fine when the two events are next to each other (within the same window). However, it he event is not in the same window (requiring a scroll up or down) then the drag and drop can't happen (i.e., having to drag photos from my last event to the first event). Any suggestions here?

    If you're merging two Events you ca do this in Event View - just drag one Event to the Other and they will be merged.
    If you're moving pics from an Event to another (but not a Full Merge):
    Photos View, the go View -> Event Titles and option Click on the wee triangle to close all the Events.
    Then open the Event you want to get the Files From. Select the Files.
    Drag them to the bottom of the iPhoto Window - above the toolbar - and the Window will scroll. (There's a bit of a knack to doing this: there's a sweet spot just above the tool bar. Get the Cursor there and the window will scroll. With practise you can even control the rate and speed of scrolling)
    Drop them on the target Event.

  • Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

    Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?  I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro.  I have aperture 3 on both units.  Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

    You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

  • How to move photos from one library to another?

    Hi,
    I currently have 2 libraries and I want to move photos from one library into the other.
    How do I have to proceed?
    Thx
    A

    We're thinking of adding a library copy feature soon.  Hoping you can share some info here to help us understand how this might best work fo you.   Here's a few questions I have:
    - What do you use the 2 libraries for?
      - Why do you want to copy?
      - Do you have albums, favorites, and comments associated with the photos?  Do you want them copied?
    Anything else that you are hoping to accomplish here?
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

  • How do I move clips from one Event to another?

    How do I move clips from one Event to another?
    As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Move photos from one roll to another?

    Hi,
    I have iphoto 6 and was wondering if I can move photos from one roll to another existing roll? When I moved photos from an external drive, photos that should have been lumped together ended up in different rolls so I'm trying to sort everything out. Is that possible?
    Thanks!

    Yes you can as long as you do it via the iPhoto Window. Using the View -> Film Rolls command, you'll see the Rolls in the iPhoto Window, and you can drag a pic to the Title of the target roll.

  • I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

    I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.  Both have Digital Editions installed.  Older one 2.0 ver has books installed.  Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed.  Both are authorized with the same user id.  Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first?  How do I do that?  Do I have to manually transfer files?  How do I do that?  Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

    Figured it out.  Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions.  duh.  Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

    Not directly.
    You could delete a photo from one catalog, and import it into another catalog.

  • How do I move photos from one library to another?

    I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
    Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

    To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
    Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

  • Move photos from one mac to another mac

    how can i move photos from one macbook pro to another macbook pro.  i am not very technical, so make it easy

    Do you want to move your iPhoto library from A to B or just the photos?
    If it's the library just connect the two MBPs together, via LAN, Target Disk Mode, etc., so you can drag the library from A to B.

  • Move Photos from one Library to another

    How can I move pictures from one library to another in Iphoto 11 ?

    1. Export from one, import to the other. Though you will not get all the versions if you do this. You also need to be sure to sue the options in the Expor dialogue to write all the metadata to the files or that won't come over. Note there is no way to export Faces data.
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files and all versions and all metadata - including Faces - between libraries. However this hasn't been fully updated for iPhoto 11 so you'll need to wait a few days.
