Flagged photos do not reliably move to selected events

I flag photos. I select event. I click on "move flagged photos to selected event". Rarely, does this happen. It worked fine for years.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

How do I import my photos, and not my movies?

I am creating a new catalog for my photos in the Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer. When I choose "File \ Get Photos and Videos \ From Files and Folders...", the only option I have to import my photos is "Media Files". "Media Files" includes all picture and movie formats. I do not want to import my home movies, only my family photos. I do not see a filter to import only photo formats (e.g. *.jpeg and not *.mts). "File \ Get Photos and Videos \ By Searching..." does not proivide this option either. It's a problem because my photos and videos are stored along side each other in the same folders, and I have nearly 2 TB of data.
How can I import only my photos in to a new catalog in Photoshop Elements 11?

Thank-you for the prompt response Michel. I am not clear on what 'advanced' option dialog you are referring too. The only "4 icons" I see is under the "organize" section. That feature shows only those pictures I have stored inside my Windows Pictures library, and my photos are not stored there. Here is what I see when I choose "File \ Get Photos and Videos \ From Files and Folders...":
There is an option to "Get Photos from Subfolders", but no option to exclude video files.
Is this the 'advanced' dialog you mentioned?

Photo Stream Not Uploading Movies

I don't shoot a lot of movies on my iPhone, but I just realized the movies I do shoot are not being synchronized to my devices via PhotoStream.
Is there a setting to enable this somewhere?

Really? Any idea where that's documented?
Doesn't really make sense. Photostream requires wifi to upload, so its not like the movie file would be probibitively large. So I have to manually upload movies ... To where? E-mail them to myself to get them on all of my devices? and then e-mail will not support full quality or length.
Sounds like there is no way to back them up, at least not automatically or via iCloud. And YouTube seems to be the only option for sharing it, which doesn't do much toward getting a movie to my other devices.
Surely this can't be right ...

HT201317 My photo stream not showing up as iphoto events?

photos that show up in my photo stream (on mac) don't show up under Events in iPhoto? why not? and does this mean they aren't saved on my mac and could be deleted after 30 days? preferences are checked for my photo stream
Thanks!

It sounds like you are using Photos, not iPhoto, since iCloud Photo Library isn't available in iPhoto.
In Photos, My Photo Stream shows up in the Albums tab, see this help article: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtc0bf4b9bb

ADS with af:poll component does not reliably deliver DB change events

I took the Steve M's sample #156 (http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples) as mentioned in an earlier forum post (Re: ADF BC and the Active Data Service using af:table and modified it to use an af:activeOutputText instead of the adf:table to display the output as a result of database modifications.
As long as I open 5 or less tabs/browser windows (combination of IE and Firefox Mozilla) with my sample application, I can see the database changes being actively delivered to each of the browser/tabs correctly. However, when I open more than 5 browser/tab windows for my application and make a database change, then most of the times the active event does not seem to be delivered to any of the browser/tab windows and the af:activeOutput text field is not updated with the latest database change. At this stage, the database change active event is not just delayed it just does not seem to fire, the only way at this stage to get the database change to show up is to open another browser tab/window. When you do that, then not only the newly opened tab/window get the latest database change but also the tabs/windows that had been opened earlier suddenly receive the database change that they had not received before the new tab/window was opened. It almost looks like the tabs/windows had received the database change event but it was queued up and for some reason was not able to refresh the browser/tab window.
I am working off an ADE application view that has the underlying FMWTOOLS_MAIN_GENERIC_110116.1002 label. Is this a known issue and if so when can a fix be expected for this? If you need my application, I can zip it up though I believe I was getting similar behavior even with Steve's original sample 156 for more than 5 browser/tab windows.

Hi,
if I am correct, then you are from Oracle and should use internal forums or mailing lists.

Move flagged photos to the trash?

Is there a way to move my flagged photos to the trash? I do not want them unflagged... I want them permanently gone from my library. Everytime I Command-A and move them to trash, it just unflags them and they're still in my library.
Please help?
/Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to my post!

One easy way is to use the create new event form flagged photos command and then drag the new event to the iPhtoo trash and empty the iPhoto trash and the system trash

Trashing Flagged Photos?

Say you've Flagged 8-9 photos, is there a way of then Trashing them from the Flagged collection under RECENT? Whenever I try to do it, it just Unflags the Flagged photos and doesn't move them into the Trash.

Terence, genius. Thanks a lot. You certainly know iPhoto in depth
There are actually two keyboard shortcuts you can use in this situation. I'm not sure what the difference between the two is. Maybe Move Flagged to Trash doesn't require a selection?
Move Flagged to Trash - Control, Command, Delete
Move to Trash - Option, Command, Delete
Right, Lightroom is significantly more expensive than iPhoto, but it's surprising how many of the features of Lightroom are available in iPhoto, if you just dig deep enough.

How do I restore all my flagged photos to their original events?

Not sure how this could have happened, but a month or two ago, I went to view 'All Events' and there appeared one huge mega-event which contained all my flagged photos from all events from Feb 2010 (my initial use of iPhoto) until October 2011, containing over 900 photos.
How could I have inadvertently done this? But more importantly,
How do I redistribute them to their original events?
I'm considering splitting the mega-event into events with the same dates as the originals then merging those flagged photos with the unflagged photos into the original event. However, trying to do a single split for the first 20 photos from the original event took over an hour.
Also considering going back to a backup prior to this happening and restoring only the affected Events, if this is possible. To accomplish this, hopefully all flagged photos would then reappear in their original Events and the mega-Event would go away. But I havent seen how restore operates and I'm concerned for deleting those pix and Events done since October 2011.
Anyone have any experience with this one???
Thanks!

Evidently you accidentally selected this menu option under the Events menu:
I don't know of any way to undo that.
Also considering going back to a backup prior to this happening and restoring only the affected Events, if this is possible.
No you'll have to restore the entire library from Time Machine. But here's something you might want to try:
1 - restore the library(B) from just before this happened.
2 - use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to import your current library (A) into your restored library (B) with the option to not import duplicates. That should get you pretty close back to where you want to be. Of course be sure there's a current backup of your current library (A) before starting the merge.

Iphoto deletes events when adding events from flagged photos

Dear community,
Whenever I use flagged photos, previous events get deleted. I don't know whether this is because the photos can only be in one event at a time, or that this is erroneous behaviour.
In my logic, there should be possibility for as much events as you deem possible, yet it is mind boggling, that you don't have an automatic option, that makes you put photos in two events. Also it is mind numbing that you can't just copy & paste the pictures anywhere you like. You can paste in albums, but not into events.
You have an option to "Create event from flagged photos", yet not an option to add photos to an existing event, you must flag them first.
Then there is the sudden discomfort of brain pain, when you find out the previous events you've created stopped seizing to exist, and you have to sift through 500 photos, just to find 3 photos you've flagged in the creation of a previous event. Which defeats the purpose of creating them.
The albums work good for this purpose, yet I want to be able to pin albums to the back board, where the events are. Or have events that will not disappear, may contain doubles with other events, or/and aren't restricted to copying into them. It would save a lot of time, to just CMD + C, CMD + V.

You're confusing Events and Albums.
In my logic, there should be possibility for as much events as you deem possible, yet it is mind boggling, that you don't have an automatic option, that makes you put photos in two events
A photo in two Events is using twice the disk space. An album just references the photo in the Library and can be in as many albums as you like while wasting no disk space.
You have an option to "Create event from flagged photos", yet not an option to add photos to an existing event, you must flag them first.
Eh, you have to flag photos first before you can create an Event from them too...

Flagging photos does not delete Events. Emptying an Event deletes them.
You can't have what you want.

Photos do not sync properly

I am having some curious trouble with photos syncing properly from an iPhoto album to my iPhone 3GS.
I have an album with 6 photos. I edited all six photos in iPhoto using "Edit in External Editor". After editing and saving, the photos show in the iPhoto event the way I want them, as well as in the album in question.
However, when I sync the phone in iTunes, the photos in the album show up as before they were edited. They do not sync properly. They look fine in iPhoto, but not on the phone.
I have tried the following things to make this work.
I have deleted all the photos in the album, unchecked the album in iTunes under Photos, and synched. Then I added the edited photos to the album again, checked the album in iTunes under Photos and synched again. This did not work. The photos still show up as before the edit.
I unchecked the album again in iPhoto, synched the phone and then did a reset of the phone by pressing the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time and waiting until the Apple logo appeared again. I then checked the album in iTunes again, and synched. This also did not work.
Lastly, I deleted the album entirely in iPhoto, and recreated the album from again by choosing the edited photos in question inside the event, and then hitting the "+" button in the lower left of the iTunes window. This also did not work.
The weird thing is, that I have also edited at least one other photo in a differnt album, which then synched properly.
I hope somebody has an idea as to how to fix this.

look, in all these 2000 things you tryed there is one thing i don't thing you did actually try, which is to rename the photos in the album.
This did not work either.
sometimes it may hapen that you cannot sync properly if you have strange names or sometimes the itunes doe not see the files properly.
Strange names? What do you consdider to be strange names? "Sometimes iTunes does not see the files properly"? Where do you get that idea?
try renaming 'em and see if it works. you can also rename the folder with the photos.
Renaming the photos does not work. Renaming the event (that is what you mean I think) does not work either.
also, another thing; try to select your photos in iphoto and take them off with the mouse and put them in a folder in some other location in teh computer (like for example the desktop) and sync them from taht location in itunes, it may help.cheers!
This is complete nonsense. Photos have to be in an album in iPhoto in order to be synched with the iPhone via iTunes. Putting photos anywhere else on the computer does not allow them to be synched with the phone. They must be in iPhoto.

Since I upgraded to Yosemite I can no longer upload photos to eBay by selecting "events" all my photos pop up together. Anyone know how to fix this?

I recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.1. Since I updated I can no longer upload photos to eBay, Shutterfly, Craigslist by selecting "events". It is no longer an option.
All my photos come up as one entire library. When I view them in iPhoto they are divided into events, however once I go to upload them the entire library appears without any defining options, such as "events", recent imports, etc. I thought at first this might be an issue with eBay, but realized it wasn't when I tried to list on Craigslist. This is a nuisance and time consuming process. Does anyone know if there is a fix in the future or if I am just missing some quick fix?

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

Can I select all flagged photos and move to a flash drive

Can I select all flagged photos and move to Flash Drive as a group rather than drag and drop one pic at a time?

Hi David,
One way you can do it is to create a Smart Album, and make the conditions = Photo Is Flagged. That will put all of your flagged photos into a single album. Then you can export that Album to the Flash Drive via File>Export. Once you set up the Export the way you want it, and then click on "Export" it will bring up your Finder Window, allowing you to select the Flash Drive to export to.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

Hi, dragging jpeg files into i-movie - the selection of jpegs is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view. PLEASE HELP!

Hi, I have been dragging jpeg files into i-movie all week without issue. Now all of a sudden, the selection of jpegs I'm dragging is repeating certain photos and not featuring others, making the entire sequence impossible to view.
Please help, this is urgent for a funeral tomorrow! It didnt happen with any of the other family tributes, they all worked fine.
Many thanks,
Ruth

It worked! Thank you! I finally just finished about 20 minutes ago! It took over 26 hours to complete the process you described, but I stuck with it and it worked. I am glad I didn't give up or "forget it" as some might have suggested. That would have set me back until tomorrow!
Ultimately, it turned out there were 45,910 jpgs created. No wonder it took so many hours to render/display them all. It ended up being about 10 hours before it seemed they were all rendered but the process between them displaying and being able to start really deleting them took a few hours because partly I was asleep and also partly it took forever to do anything. Any action as simple as selecting and right-clicking to Get Info, or emptying the trash, would take 20-30 minutes, a couple times longer. The clock stopped many times for 20-30 minutes at a time, a few times over 30 minutes, before catching back up. My cursor never froze which is what really kept me going, although it was a spinning beach ball for most of the time. I was never so relieved to see my regular cursor as opposed to seeing a spinning beach ball as I was early this morning after about 10 hours!
Once I was able to open a Finder window and select all 45,900 files (I had already deleted 10 in the previous couple hours during experimenting of trying to figure out what would work best), then right-click and select to move all the files to the trash, the process of moving them to the trash took 4.5 hours. Then deleting them from the trash took a couple minutes. There were 21.4 GB!!! No wonder the whole process took 26 hours!
mende1, thank you so much!

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
