How do I find imported photos in events?

I recently bought a Macbook air and noticed that when I import photos into iPhoto, they do not generate a new untitled event in "Events" as they used to on my previous Mac laptop.   Instead I have to go to "Photos" and sort through thousands of photos to find those that I just imported.  This takes a lot of time to locate them and then if I want to "copy" the photo I've found, I cannot "paste" it into an event.   All of my photos are organized in Events for easy/fast retrieval, but it would seem that iPhoto on the Macbook air doesn't allow for the use of events any longer.    Anyone have any ideas about how to continue to use events for importing on a Macbook air?

What is your iPhoto version on your new MacBook Air?
I am still seeing new events created (in iPhoto 9.5.1) , when I use "File > Import" to import a folder of image files, or import from my camera, or drag image files to the iPhoto Library.
Instead I have to go to "Photos" and sort through thousands of photos to find those that I just imported.
You can find quickly the event by opening the "Last Import" album and selecting one of the photos. Ctrl-click it and select "Show event".

  • How do I show imported photos in Events?

    I downloaded photos off my camera into iPhoto 9.5.1 (I have just upgraded to this).  The photos are showing if I click on "last 12 months" but they are not showing up in Events. How do I get them into events?
    I had the older version of iphoto and whenever I downloaded photos off of my camera, they would go directly into events.

    And they still do
    Most likely your camera date is incorrect (correct on the camera - and for photos already imported by selecting the photops and using teh adjust time/date command) or your event sort is incorrect (correct by the view menu ==> sort events)
    The photos are showing if I click on "last 12 months" but they are not showing up in Events. How do I get them into events?
    Last 12 months is just one of many views of the photos in your library - events are another view - every photo in one view is also in every other view - you are just looking in the wrong place (see above)

  • How do i find duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

    How do i find duplicate photos in my iPhoto library?

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • How can I find double photos in iPhoto'11?

    Hey, how can I find double photos in iPhoto'11? Only know that it displays doublets when I use the import function in iPhoto'11.
    Thanks
    Matthias

    Thanks for the answer.  After I posted this question, I saw there were other discussions.  I do see everything is there, but it is time comsuming to view each individual picture to make sure I put it in the right catagory!!
    I did send feedback to apple,  but I see people have been asking them to fix this problem for the last 7 months or so, and it is still not fixed.....so what is good about the new version!!? 

  • How can I find duplicate photos without going through all 5000  one at a time?

    How can I find duplicate photos withough going through all 5000 one by one?  I have numerous duplications and used to be able to click on Edit and Find Duplicates and could clean up all the duplicates easily.  Now that option is gone.  I still have lots to delete.

    I do backup everything using Carbonite.Please don't tell me it is bad, too :-)  Also, especially with photo files, I do have other backups of those I am concerned about. Probably not the best in the world, but a log better than many people who I know about.
    Again, I really have not seen any problems with MacKeeper.  I imagine that if people do not read and follow instructions, they could have problems. For example, it is possible to scan all your files and see them in order of size. If you start deleting things, without knowing what you're deleting, you could cause trouble. Even when the computer scans for so-called junk files, you can look at them and decide for yourself if they are truly junk. I've never seen any that were not.
    So, I will look at the complaints anyway to see them. I am open to change, although I hope I do not need to drop Mackeeper as it does things like keeping tracking of applications updates that I need. Please note that I definitely am not a MacKeeper employee or anything close. Just using it and happy with the the results.
    I did download the recommend file for finding photo dupes and ran it.  There were very few duplicates, in any case, As I said before, the MacKeeper dupe finder was very slow when I ran it over ALL my files. That was a year ago and it did find many non-text dupes.

  • How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with? I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)". All of the photos I'm using have names.

    How do I find which photo iPhoto is telling me I have a problem with?
    I'm trying to buy a book I've formatted, but in place of the filename, it just calls it "(null)".
    All of the photos I'm using have names.

    That same one others seem to have gotten: "Unable to Assemble Book -- There is a problem with the photo with the filename “(null).” The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your book"
    I've tried restarting iPhoto with the option and command keys pressed, and asking it to repair permissions, but still have the same message...

  • How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

    How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
    I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

    I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

    My hard drive died so this is my only storage. The hard drive was from an early 2008 Macbook Pro.
    I had recently installed Snow Leopard.

    If they’re in an iPhoto library, look in the Pictures folder of your home folder first. Otherwise, they’ll be in the location corresponding to the one you saved them to.

    How can I find my photo on iCloud

    You can't view photo stream photos on icloud.com if that's what you are trying to do.  You have to view them on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled.  The only way to view them on the web is if they are added to a shared stream with the public website option enabled.
