Hidden photos aren't completely hidden

Hidden photos aren't completely hidden when I click on the "album" tab. How do I make them completely hidden from all tabs/folders?

Photos must be in Moments, you have no choice there. So you can hide photos there. If you don't want a photo in an Album just remove it from the Album, as it doesn't have to be there.

  • Hidden photos in iPhoto not hidden in aperture after import

    After importing all of my iPhotos into aperture, my hidden photos are being shown in aperture.  Is there a way to have my photos hidden in aperture as well?

    Not really.
    Aperture has a seven-level rating scheme: no rating, 1-5, and "rejected".
    I'm pretty sure (I don't know for certain) that photos hidden in iPhoto are assigned a rating of "rejected" when imported into Aperture via the iPhoto importer.
    Rejected Images are not shown in the default Browser view of any container.  The purpose, however, is less to hide Images than it is to remove them from view prior to deleting or relocating them.
    If you have Images you wish to hide from view of someone who has access to your Aperture Library, you should not include them in that Library.

  • Hidden photos are really not hidden

    With the new photo app, I am able to "hide" photos in the "hidden album" on my Mac and actually hide the album so that the photos are truely hidden.  However, the "hidden album" appears as an album in my iPad and iPhone and when tap the album icon, all the "hidden" photos appear.  In other words, the photos are not hidden, they are there for anyone and everyone to see that taps on the icon.  Anybody know how to fix this?

    As far as I know, there is no fix because that is the way it is supposed to work. This is the message that pops up when you hide a photo.

  • Hidden photos in Photos.

    Why aren't my hidden photos in iPhoto Events hidden in Photos anymore? The whole point of hiding them is so people cannot see them anywhere without unhiding them!

    The migration unhides them

    Show hidden photos: Click Albums in the toolbar, then choose View > Show Hidden Photo Album.The Hidden Photos album appears among your other albums. To unhide photos in it, select them, then choose Image > Show Photo.

  • IPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug

    _*iPhoto - Hidden Photos - Events Thumbnail Display Bug*_
    iPhoto 08 contains a bug affecting the display of images that the user has marked as "hidden." Specifically, when the user toggles the View-Hidden Photos menu option, the Library-Events thumbnail view does not refresh quickly or reliably to show or hide Events containing "hidden photos."
    Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain visible when they should be hidden.
    Sometimes all "hidden" photos remain INvisible when they should be visible.
    This affects the Event thumbnail "key photo" if this photo was designated as hidden.
    This also affects any hidden Event photos when the user "skims" over an Event thumbnail to preview its contents.
    The issue is isolated to Events thumbnails. The problem does not exist:
    a) while browsing thumbnails inside a specific Event.
    b) while browsing photos in Library-Photos.
    c) while browsing photos in an Album.
    _*"Fixes" that do NOT work:*_
    Software updates... I have the latest version of OSX 10.5.2 and the latest version of iPhoto 08, including all the recent security and graphics system updates as of 02/16/2008.
    Maintenance... The issue is NOT resolved by rebuilding the database, rebuilding icons, or deleting the iPhoto preferences file. The issue can be reproduced in a separate user account after creating a new event in an otherwise empty iPhoto database.
    After much tinkering around, the following is the closest I've come to a
    _*TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:*_
    To *NOT DISPLAY* hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos *is not* checked. Restart iPhoto, and the hidden images should now be invisible.
    To DISPLAY hidden images, go to the View menu and make sure Hidden Photos is checked. While the hidden images are now visible elsewhere, they may still be invisible in Events thumbnails, so restart iPhoto, and then wait about 10 seconds for the Events view to refresh with all the hidden thumbnail images now visible.
    If after carefully reading this you feel you have a definitive solution, please post a reply with your suggestions. Otherwise, please post to confirm if you can reproduce the problem on your computer running iPhoto 08 on Leopard. If so, please also file an official bug report with Apple. The more people report this, the faster we'll get it fix.

    My Acrobat Pro 9 has also this bug. I am using XP SP2. I have reported this bug at Adobe web site many times. I wrote to the Adobe customer care. I wrote about this on many different forums and I was hopping an update with this bug fixed. I installed all updates till now bu the problem still exists. I do not know why Adobe is not caring about this stupid bug. It is really, really annoying. In my experience with Adobe Acrobat for about 10 years, Acrobat version 9 is the worst version I ever worked with. There are a lot of glitches and bugs in it, expecially with fonts, web version creation, password protection encryption etc etc.
    If you find any fix please post back on this forum.
    Many thanks,

  • How do i see hidden photos on MacBook Pro

    I have clicked the hidden photos in the view tab & then made a smart folder but the folder is empty?  I still have the hidden photos, but can't see or delete them, I can see them on my iPad & iPhone but can't delete them as they are not the host of the pics. I have deleted all my pics from iPhoto on my MacBook Pro to see if that will get rid of them but all my pics were gone apart from the hidden ones?. Help!

    You can play it in a web browser but you must have a Facebook account and play it via that app.

  • How can I see and delete hidden photos in Trash?

    I can't see any picture in my Trash, despite of that the Trash contains, probably, 63 hidden photos.
    How can I delete them? See the picture. Thank you for answer, Peter.SK.

  • Lost or hidden photos in iPhoto 9.4.2

    Recently I lost a small group of photos I downloaded to iPhoto. There was 20 photos and a couple of small video streams. I filled up the 16GB card while shooting. Took the card from the camera and added another card and continued shooting. Later I put the 16 GB card in my MacBook Air which has about 10 GB of space left on the flash drive and downloaded the photos. I am traveling at the moment and did not have a back up external HD with me. I disconnected the card and then reviewed and edited the photos in iPhoto. Later I showed a couple of the photos to family. This morning the photos are gone or hidden. In events there is a thumbnail reflecting the date I downloaded. The thumbnail cover photo is a grey silhouette palm tree with no photos in this event album. I reconnected the card and the photos are no longer on the card. I don't know what happened. Is there any way I can retrieve these photos.

    At no point did I download 16 GB of information onto a drive with 10 GB of space. I guess I wasn't clear in my original note and question. There was about 10 GB of space on my MacBook Air. Yesterday I downloaded about 20 photos in JPEG format and a few videos, 30 sec to 1 minute in length, that I took that day, from a card that was full.  What's that, at max a couple of GB.
    Later I downloaded another 1 or 2 GB of photos and video from a new unfilled 16 GB card. At that point I had about 6 GB of available space on the flash drive of my MacBook.
    Then, after the 2 downloads I edited photos in the 2 event folders. When I was finished I showed my family a few photos from the first download from the full card. At some point the photos from the first download disappeared in iPhoto. The folder from the first download in iPhoto is still there but with a thumbnail grey silhouette palm tree but no photos. This morning I inserted the full memory card which is a Sansdisk Ultra Extreme. The rest of the information on the full 16GB card is still there but the 20 photos from yesterday are missing.
    I am looking for a little help here from someone who will read each line of the email thread and give me some suggestions on what may have happened and what I can do in an attempt to recover the photos.
    I just looked there is currently 8.25 GB of available space.

  • Can I select and manipulated hidden photos as a group?

    I've been through an album and have hidden some photos as they don't add much to the slide show I'm creating. At this point I would like to do some stuff with the album as it is (without the hidden photos), so I would like to delete all the hidden photos from the album. Is there any way to do this? Similarly, could I export all the hidden photos so as to archive them somewhere, or export the album without the hidden photos? Really I want a way to treat 'hidden' as a status - is any of this possible?

  • Photos: why do hidden photos remain visible in all photos and in last import?

    just updated iPhoto to new Photos app. and migrated my library, noticed that my hidden photos are no longer as hidden as they where in iPhoto..

    I'm afraid that hidden photos do not work the same way that they did in iPhoto."All photos" is intended to include hidden photos. Hidden photos are only hidden from moments and collections.

  • Hidden Photo Album

    I did the most recent OS upgrade and part of that is a new version of iPhoto, now Photos... My first impression is rather negative, but the problem I'm having now is that the "Hidden Photos" option is no longer present in the "View" menu. I have hundreds of hidden photos. If I click on "Photos" the hidden photos do not appear, however if I click on "Albums," there they all are. There is an "Show Hidden Photo Album" option but I've so far been unable to figure out how to create one of these "hidden photo albums." Next thing you know my nephews'll be seein' Abiela's ***...

    The "Hiding" is different in Photos from iPhoto.
    If you hide a photo, it will be invisible in the Photos view - in Moments, Years, Collections, but it will be visible in any album.  So there is no need for a View option "Show Hidden Photos". All hidden photos are shown together in the Hidden Photos album, that you can add to the sidebar.
    There is an "Show Hidden Photo Album" option but I've so far been unable to figure out how to create one of these "hidden photo albums."
    You cannot create albums based on "hidden".   There is only the one smart album, that will show all hidden photos.

  • Hidden Photos and Web Galleries

    Looks like if you have an event with contains some hidden photos and you publish the event to a web gallery, the hidden photos also get published.
    Is there any say to prevent these from being published?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. No, the web gallery will include all photos in the album or gallery. You can change how you create the web gallery. Open the event, select the photos, not the album icon, and create the event from just the selected photos. That should exclude the hidden photos.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Hidden Photos Appear In Slideshow

    Is this a bug or a feature? If you've hidden some photos in an Event and then make a slideshow of that Event, the hidden photos show up in the slideshow.
    Why would you ever want hidden photos popping up in your slideshow?

    On the face of it, your point certainly makes sense. But the point of the Quick Slideshow is to show you everything in the chosen Event (or Album) and everything includes hidden photos too. It’s quite possible that a person might forget that they have hidden photos in an Event, for instance, and this feature could help them find something thought lost.
    So I can see where I might agree with you, and where I might not.
    On the basis of that statement I’m now going to run for election. While I’m campaigning... let Apple know what you think
