Flagged photos disappear from events

It seems sometimes when I flag photos within an event and post those flagged photos to facebook, via iphoto, the flagged photos *sometimes* get removed from the event and posted under "flagged photos" folder. Upon trying to copy them back into the event, I have no luck. Must I create an album of the event first, and copy from flagged to that? If this is the case, this is going to be VERY annoying. I had been wondering why I couldn't find the "good" pictures in some of my events, wondering where they all went. Having to make albums of all events is going to be time consuming.

The same just happened to me. This is how I solved it:
1. I went to the "Flagged" list to the left.
2. I selected the pictures that were not showing up in the original event.
3. Events --> Create event
4. Accept.
It created a new event with the flagged photos that were not showing up, and it placed the new event next to the original event with a name based on the date.
5. Dragged the whole "new" event to the original event.
Now it's back to normal... I hope it works...

All photos lost from Event browser and unable import photos

I did something, perhaps while solving a non-responding problem, which caused all photos to disappear from Event Browser, but not from Timeline. When I try to import photos I get "formatting files for import" but nothing is imported.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Russ. When I read the answer to a different question, I realized, although the photos were no longer visible in the Event Browser, FCPX saw them as duplicates and wouldn't import. I opened a supplementary Event and was able to import them there.

Yes, I did intend to include my email address. Is that a problem?

Reversing "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event" Command

Apparently, we inadvertently moved all of our flagged photos to one event using the "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event" Command. The problem is, I want all of these flagged photos back in their original events.
Is there a way to do this without manually re-sorting the photos? I currently have ca. 10,000 photos in 270 events, and I am not looking forward to a manual re-sort.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The easiest way ti to use your backup of the iPhoto library - that is why you make them - in case of software, hardware or human error
If that will not do it, I can not test this but it should get you started - assuming that your events are in the default time/date based set up - and assuming that the photos are still flagged create a new event form the flagged photos and select that event - under the event menu ==> autosplit selected event - this will create new events that will be next to the event the photos came from - then go through and merge the newly created events with the event the photos came from
Other that your backup I can not think of any other way to get there except to move each photo manually

Why my Flagged photos vanished from photo library after I clicked to number next to it??

Why my Flagged photos vanished from photo library?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 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.

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events and iPhoto Slideshow but are in an Album. How do I recover or copy photos back to Events and rebuild slideshow?

Random sequential groups of photos missing from Events, an Album I created, and a slideshow using the photos. This "appears" to have happened when upgrading to Yosemite. When I use iPhoto Library Manager, I see two entries for the Event Information for the date in question, same name, same number of photos, but different sizes. The smaller has the image number but no photo for the given date; the larger has the photos.
Image path for the version with all photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24/IMG_0697.jpg
Image path for the version with missing photos: /Volumes/Promise Pegasus/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/2010/2010_05_24_2/IMG_0697.jpg (NOTE the _2 added to the image number.)
I assume that I have to get the missing pictures back in Events so I can reload back into the Album. Hopefully, the slideshow will magically be better.
Help!

That's an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master file has been broken. Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

ReImport Failure after Photos Disappear from Catalog in 2.1

Mac OS (Tiger). Lightroom 2.1. Several photos disappeared from my catalog. They are visible in Bridge. I tried to do an import from disk to get them back by selecting the missing picture in the import dialog and then clicking import. After clicking import I get a message that the file won't be imported because it is already in the catalog (even though it is not visible). If I then select the name of the file in the "will not be imported list" and click on the "show in library" button I am taken to a picture other than the one I selected for import.
I have been able to re-import the images by renaming them outside Lightrom, and doing an import from disk. Once the images are inside lightroom I can rename them to their original name. At that point I get a message saying that the file can't be renamed, and Lightroom then proceeds to rename the file to its original name.
This is making me very nervous about the integrity of the catalog in 2.1. I don't know if this is a 2.1 problem or a 2.0 problem because I noticed the missing images weeks after I upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1.
So far I have noticed only two images that can't be seen in the library module and can't be reimported (unless they are renamed outside Lightroom).
Any suggestions?

I have disabled Library filters and the problem persists. Also, I have seen the same problem on two different computers under both Tiger and Leopard, Apparently, the disappearing images only disappear AFTER an editt and same in Photoshop.

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

Photos disappeared from a Smugmug gallery collection

I recently had the photos disappear from a LR 3.4.1 Smugmug gallery collection. They didn't disappear from Smugmug, just from this one LR Smugmug gallery collection. And they didn't disappear from their LR folder. It's a relatively small gallery (21 pictures) and I can just put them back, but I'd like to understand what might have happened to cause this.

Ditto -
EXACT same thing happened with Facebook...
Looks like folks JUMPED On helpin ya!

My photos disappeared from the cloud and from my iPad

All of a sudden a chunk of photos disappeared from my iPad, which is synchronized with iCloud.

First drag the ? off the dock about 2 inches and let go. It should diappear with a poof.
Next, double click the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Is iTunes there?
If not, you will have to reinstall it. Do you have a backup?
If you do find iTunes in the Applications folder, click on it once and drag it to the Dock where the ? used to be.

You're using iPhoto 6?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

When you import photos to your ipad from your iMac , do those photos disappear from the iMac?

When you import photos from your iMac to your ipad, do those photos disappear from the iMac??

No. Syncing albums from your computer to your iPad copies the photos to your iPad but leaves them on the computer.

Add Flagged Photos To Selected Event / Select By Date

So I am having to bite the bullet and re-import all of my referenced pics to try and consolidate them eventually into my managed library. I start with my first folder, import it, select the 103 photos in the Event with a view of then going to the existing Event, Adding Flagged Photos to it and then deleting out the older non-linked ones. Except I cannot seem to get the Add Flagged Photos function to activate in any circumstances, it is simply greyed out and nothing I do seems to want to activate it.
Is this a bug or an odd change in functionality from 09?
While we are at it, another function I used a lot in 09 was searching a photo by date from the search box in the bottom bar. I would select date, hold down the Alt button to select all pics on that day i.e. 13/12 and iPhoto would display them. It doesn't now, I follow this exact same flow and it will display all pictures that are December pics instead of the single day specific ones.

When I search by date it shows the day specific day clicked - if I "alt" click it deletes the year and shows all photo on the date in any year
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Photos disappearing from Flickr albums since update

Since the update, some of my published Flickr albums are suffering from some sort of attrition. I have an event with 75 pictures, which I published to Flickr just fine (pro account, uploading original sizes). Now every time I click on it in iPhoto, it spins the "update" icon next to it, and a couple photos disappear out of the Flickr album, both in iPhoto and on Flickr's site itself. The album is down to 63 items now. The original photos in the iPhoto library are unaffected, it's just in the Flickr album.
Anyone experiencing similar problems since the last update, or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Yup, it shows up fine. The problem is at the publication stage when making a new Flickr album in iPhoto; not all photos are being published, which is where the problems start.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which photos aren't published. All the original photos, both in my iPhoto library and in Finder, are present and accounted for. Sometimes, they publish fine to Flickr, but later disappear from the iPhoto Flickr album so get re-downloaded from the Flickr website into my library, creating duplicates since the original photos are untouched.
I'm quite baffled by the problem, and frustrated since I got married a week and a half ago and have dozens of people nagging me to see the photos. The only thing I haven't tried is publishing them in a lower resolution, which even if it works isn't exactly the ideal solution; original file size publication is why I pay for a Flickr account.

All photos disappeared from the corkboard of Iphoto, and when I try to put the new faces there,it does not register anything.The names appear under the photos,but the board remains empty.

All the faces disappeared from the cork board in my Iphoto.When I add a name to a photo it appears there,but nothing appears on the board,there is just the message,how to start.I had alrady lot of faces there and they suddenly all disappeared.I have no idea what to do, or how to start putting up the faces on the board

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why are most photos disappearing from albums in iWeb?

I'm having a problem with the photo albums on iWeb.
I drag a photo album from my iPhoto window in iWeb to the photo album web page and it becomes an album with slideshow capabilities. If I publish the site, everything appears fine. I save iWeb and exit.
Now if I open iWeb again, all three of the photo album pages still exist, but on each page, only four of the original photos remain. The albums are supposed to have 29 photos, 35 photos, and 46 photos total. Now they each show four.
I thought it was a fluke, so I added them all again including captions. Then I saved, closed and reopened iWeb. The photos in the web albums were gone again.
I'm using iLife '09 with the iPhoto that exists on my laptop, but all the source photos are located on a Mac Mini in my local network. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Note that the complete album as uploaded to the actual website still exists and works great. But if I publish the changes, the album will disappear.
Thanks.

Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.
