Flagged photos not clearing

This is a weird one that has never happened to me before.
I fagged some photos but when I hit the "clear flagged" button, nothing happens.
I have flagged another set of photos and when I hit "clear flagged" again, the newly flagged photos dissappear but the ones that did not clear originally are still there... as I said weird.
Anyone had this happen or know how to fix?
Thanks

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.

Flagged photos in iPhoto not showing up in iMovie

I recently updated both imovie and iphoto. I have several flagged photos in iphoto. I am working in imovie to create a movie. When I cleck the camera on the lower right to import photos into imovie, I see all my photos. However, I don't see an option to choose the flagged photos. This has always been there. Incredibly annoying. I usually flag the pics I want to use in a movie.
I have tried closing and restarting both programs. Restarting computer. Removing all flags and reflagging some.
Still, I don't see that option to chose the flagged photos in imovie. I see all others like Events, Faces, Places, etc.
Thanks for any help.

Anyone have any ideas????
Again... I don't see the flagged photo smart album in imovie.... see screen shot below.
Where the flagged photo album should be (after Last Import)... it is not there!!
Very frustrating. Spent about 5 hours on and off with Apple support and they can't figure it out either.

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry. what gives? They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad?? Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that? When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc.

Reboot. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

My iPad air camera when I try to take a photo it's not clear?

My iPad air camera when I try to take a photo it's not clear?

That's really not uncommon. The camera on the iPad is primarily designed for FaceTime. You need really good lighting in order to get clear photos on the iPad. Experiment with better lighting and see how your photos come out.

When I delete iPhone images are they saved on my iMac? New Photos and iCloud not clear yet

Since the NEW Photos is out and my new subscription to iCloud storage increase I an not clear(or feel safe yet) what happens to my images when deleted from my iPhone5 to clear up space. It asks if I want photos removed from all my devices. Is my iMac a "device" and how can I save all my images, iCloud or not, to a hard drive? I feel like a newbie now because of new insecurities with Photos and iCloud storage/manipulation of photos... Sorry for the silly question but any clarity would help... ThankX

Yes your iMac is a device. If you are using iCloud Photo Library on both your iMac and in Photos on your iMac, if you delete a photo on either it will be deleted from both and from iCloud. If it is iCloud it is also on both devices. You save storage on your iPhone by setting it to optimize storage. See the quote below from iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting.
If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them.
If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.

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.

Why some photos are not clear on Facebook?

I have posted some snap clicked from my DSLR on, Facebook. But when I view there! they are not clear.

I have the same problem: I just added an new project to Aperture, but it isn't shown in the list of projects on the AppleTV. Even not in the "Last Week" one ... All other (or even most of them - I cannot count them - it is to much of them ... nicer sorting would be useful) are properly shown in the list...
So it is not a networking problem or so ... Any ideas ?

APP Open Item Not cleared

Hi All,
I have strange issue. automatic payment run is executed and after that i have messgae
Posting orders: 23 generated, 22 completed
i have 23 clearing document but one document which is generated its not cleared the open item and even am not finding that
document no in FB03 t code.
can you give give me your overview on this issue
"Posting orders: 23 generated, 22 completed" : Why this type of messgage genarated and what will be the reason
Thank you

With reference to the issue reported, as you have noticed the number of generated documents and the number of completed documents are different
-> "Posting orders: 23 generated, 22 completed". This is a clear indicator that there was something wrong with the update process and the payment document did not get posted. The reason why you have more documents generated than completed maybe due to update terminations on the executing the payment run. It means one of document was not posted
in the database. You could find the terminated update using SM13. Here you can find an update termination found via sm13 when user processed the payment.
Also please review the attached note 86578, especially the third recommendation and payment run processing option number 1. Comparison of 'Completed' orders to 'Generated' orders as stated will result in
identification of incomplete posting problems. Also check this note 70085 which has very good information:
If you have such terminations in future and documents were not posted, then please try the following
F110 menupath: Edit > Payments > After termination >
Draw up again.
Else the correction to be taken is to recreate manually the missing document and update the relevant cleared line items with the
payment document as the clearing document:
1.Use report RFVBER00 to find document gaps:
2.Pay the invoices manually.
You should be able to avoid double payment by using the below option in the print program i.e.
You should always select the flag "Payment doc.validation" on running your RFFO* report.
It gives an option to check if the payment documents are already in the system or not, and if it's not the print program excludes this data for payment.
Hope this information helps.
Best Regards

How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang? Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions. (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
Can you launch Photos at all? If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

Hi there,
While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
Additional info:
The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
The photos are also on my iCloud account
Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want. The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac. It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos. Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.

I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. Now were can i go to paste all 400 of them and get them back ?

I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. The only place I can seem to be able to paste and see them is while making a new message in gmail and then when i tried to send them the message comes back blank and looks like below. what can i do to retrieve them?
<Edited by Host>

As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

Photos not syncing after update to photo app

photos not uploading to photo app after update, I have over 10,000 photos that are trying to upload and the last import says 2013 instead of last week. I have a MacBook pro and my icloud sharing is on and I purchased more space so that is not the problem

i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
This seems contradictory, I'm not clear whether music, movies etc work for you or not.
In regard to the photos, make sure iphoto sharing is enabled and not blocked by your firewall, you could try creating a new photo library in the same location but with a different name to your existing library to avoid overwriting it, to see if it's a photo library issue or something else.

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.
