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.

in iPhoto, I want to copy certain photos in an event and then have the copies in another event WITHOUT removing the original photos from their original event; how to do that?
The only way to do that is to export the image to a new file and then re-import it.
It's not really the intended way of working as it uses twice the disk space and is inefficient.
Use Albums instead. A Photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space as it just simply references the image in the Library. Albums can be sorted any way you want - including manaually - and can have image from anywhere in the Library just by drag and drop. -
HT4859 How do I restore all apps and photos from I cloud on to a new iPhone
I can't find away to restore all my iPhone data for my iPhone. How do you download all my data???
Restore to your iCloud backup when given the option when you set up the phone. If it's already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on your phone and given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

How do I restore all images in a collection to original imported aspect ratio?
Typically I select all images in a catalog, resize the first image to 640x480. I then right click on the first image (all images are still selected) click on Develop Settings, Sync and choose to sync only the aspect ratio. All images are then cropped to 640x480 like the first image, which I then export to a folder.
I then need to restore all images to the original aspect ratio for building a slideshow to export to my website. I've followed the same procedure i.e. selected all images, click on the first image, change aspect to original, right click on first image and sync aspect ratio for all images.
The problem is that the rest of the images do not return to their original aspect ratio but revert to 4x6 aspect ratio instead of the original size when imported. I've changed the lock to unlocked and tried both but still no result. Now I have to select each image individually, open the crop dialog and choose custom to get it back to the imported aspect ratio.
How do I batch restore all images in a collection to the aspect ratio when imported?Rotating an image is adjusting its crop rotation and crop size. You originally said you wanted things back to import state which presumably was full resolution w/o any adjustments to ratio, size, or rotation. If you are wanting to do things in the middle of your other processing I'm less sure what to tell you.
Taking a crop that you have at 3:2 and setting it to 4:3 shrinks in the longer sides, and resetting the ratio to 3:2 shrinks down the shorter top and bottom--this is how it always works, because a crop box is not ever expanded by setting the ratio to something different, and changing the ratio back and forth like that makes the crop-box smaller and smaller.
Are you having an issue because you want to fiddle with the crop in the middle of other processing every time, or is this a special case because you've moved on in your processing after asking your question some time ago?
If you routinely need to do this, an easier way might be to export the images at the 3:2 crop, then reimport those JPGs, change the crop on those JPGs, only, then re-export them a second time, and be done with them. This sounds like you're making proofs?
If you are making proof-sized images at a different ratio? Why not just export the 3:2 images at a smallish size, perhaps with a watermark and not have to worry about making them 4:3 ratio?
Another alternative would be to print the images to JPGs instead of a printer, and set the paper size to a 4:3 ratio and turn on the Fill option--which will chop of the long sides automatically as it prints them. -
Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)
It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

HT4528 How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone all photos were gone.
How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone, all my photos were gone.
What photos?
Photos taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore. If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.
Photos synced from your computer should still be on your computer an in you regular backup copy of your computer. -

I have just bought the new iPad but can't see how I would sync all my iPhone photos that are stored on iCloud onto my iPad. Can someone help?
Photos on the camera roll can be included in an icloud backup from an iOS device (if camera roll is turned on). But getting the photos back from a backup is risky. Many users have performed restore operations from a backup only to discover the photos were not returned. icloud is primarily used to sync photos to other devices using photo stream - but only new photos taken after the stream is turned on in Settings>icloud will actually be synced, not old photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album). You can then sync the photos to the iPad.

I have photos on my iPad (the first apple device in our household) and then added an iMac and a Macbook air to our network. We have an airport 2TB back up device. How do I get all of my photos on all devices. My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.
My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.
How are the images stored on your original iPad? Are they in the camera roll, in events downloaded using the camera connection kit, or are they in albums synced to your ipad from a computer?
If the photos are in the camera roll or in events downloaded from a camera, you can transfer them to your iMac and MBA by directly connecting the iPad using USB. Then you can download the photos to iPhoto like from a camera.
Only, if your photos have been synced to the iPad from a computer, you will have to save them first to the camera roll; then you can download them by connecting the iPad via USB.
What IOS version has your iPad?
For new photos you might consider using Photo Stream to transfer your photos between the devices.

How do I share all my files, photos etc.. on my wife's MAC?
How do I share all my LR photos on my wife's MAC - really having two users both able to change photos for their own use?
The only way I would recommend is to put the photos on an external HD, and also put the catalog file on the same external HD, and move that external HD back and forth between computers, and both of you work on the exact same catalog file.
If that's not acceptable ...
Lightroom really wasn't meant as a multi-user tool, and the only other way I know to do this is kind of tedious and involves repeated manual operations.
If the photos are on a server, and you each have your own catalogs, then there's no problem with each user working on the photos independently on their own computer in their own Lightroom catalog. The problem comes in if you want to consolidate the changes made by the different users into one master catalog somehow. Then, for each change made, you need to combine the changes into the other catalog, and this can be done via File->Export as Catalog and then File->Import from Another Catalog. And then tomorrow when there are more changes, you have to do it again. And don't wind up in the situation where you accidentally forget to update a photo(s) like this, because then you have two catalogs that don't match.
Better you should look at software like Daminion which is designed to be multi-user. (Note: I have not used Daminion, and so I am not recommending or endorsing it, I am simply stating that it allows multi-user catalogs) -
How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? .
How do I move all my ipad photos to icloud? Since the last software update none of my ipad pictures upload to the cloud. i just want to empty all the picture to the cloud and free up the ipad.
You turn iCloud Photo Library on in Settings > iCloud > Photos. However it doesn't "empty" the pictures to the cloud. The most you can do to free up space using iCloud is to turn on Optimize Storage to keep a smaller device-sized version of the photos on your iPad. 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. -
