IPhoto events in Photos?

Is there a way to have your photos arranged into events inside the iPhone? I have all my iPhoto pictures within iPhone, but I see only Camera Roll, Photo Library, Last 12 Months, and Last Import.
I really don't want to skim through all 2000 pictures everytime I want to find any specific one.
Please help.

I don't transfer events, I prefer creating and transferring iPhoto albums instead since there is more flexibility with albums than with Events, and I don't want all of my photos available in iPhoto available on my iPhone.
That being said, do you have transfer All events selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, or all photos and albums?

  • Import iPhotos Events into Photos and maintain previous structure?

    I'm a long time iPhoto user and have about 45,000 photos from over a 30 year period that are organized into separate events with the event title being Year-Month-Activity.  Such as "2015-4 Easter".  It was painful to create those events but once they were done it was fantastic. We can quickly and easily pull-up all photos from my daughter's first birthday from 25 years ago, or look at all of her birthday photos. I probably have a thousand events and want to maintain that event structure when I move the library to any new photo program.
    I'd like to use the new Photos program but when I imported the photos using one of my 'test' Macbooks ,Photos did (mostly) get it right and maintained most of the events in an album it created called iPhoto events.  That's fine for the legacy photos I'm importing.  HOWEVER as far as I can tell, from that point-on I can no longer add an Event and title it the same way in that iPhoto Events album.  So once I move my legacy library to Photos, the old stuff will be in the IPhotos Events photos and the new photos will have to be placed into a new Album.  So it will force me to split them.
    Where this is important is when I point my Plex Server at them so that my extended family can view all of our old photos using Plex.  Currently I can just point Plex to the iPhotos library and it maintains the Events structure when it shows them on the TV.....which is awesome.  Family can see individual events and open just the one they want to see. Not sure how Plex is going to deal with the new Photos app but that's a question for me to post on their forum...
    My question for this forum: is there a way to directly import legacy iPhoto events into Photos automatically so that each Event now becomes an Album in Photos with the old Event name?
    Thanks!

    Moments in Photo are the new Events.  There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder. To open the sidebar if it's not open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
    The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can be sorted manually.
    Ask Apple for more sorting options and/or other features in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

  • How do I make iPhoto events with photo stream?

    I am confused about how I am now supposed to download photos into iphoto to make Events.  Yesterday I plugged in my phone to import recent photos but when it did this I ended up with two of everything because photostream had already "imported" (?) them.  So, if that means I don't need to plug the iphone in pto import the photos, then how do I:
    1.  delete the photos from my phone that I would normally be deleting everytime i import via a wire?
    2.  make an event from the photos in the photo stream?
    I also noticed that some of the photos from the same series of photos are still left on my phone--those are the only photos that are not duplicated.  I don't understand why they were left on my phone, nor is it clear to me whether the ones on my computer are from the "normal import" or from the "photo stream import". 
    Would love some clarity about this.

    As far as the duplicates.... I don't know why it's doing that. If something comes to mind I'll let you know.
    As far as using a cable...
    You can still sync with iTunes (apps, music, photos etc) via Wi-Fi and only use the cable to charge the phone. That has nothing to do with Photostream. So you should have iTunes set up to sync the photos with a folder on your MBP.
    As far as being away from your MBP for over 30 days....
    Well, in that case whatever photos are older than 30 days will disappear from photostream, but they will still be in your phone's camera roll. As long as you don't lose or break your phone, you can transfer them to your MBP when you're home again (via iTunes or iPhoto or Image Capture). If you are concerned something will happen to your phone during those 30+ days away from your MBP, then you can use an option like Dropbox to save them online.

  • IPhoto events and photos

    For some reason all of my photos went into one date range from 2005 until present. These all had one title with the above date range. All my events were gone. I called Apple and they said only way to recover was with backup data. Since my lasts back up I have many pictures of my new granddaughter. Not a good option. So they said I would have to manually re-create the events file. My picture file is over 9,000 photos. I did rebuild the photo file with Apples help but nothing changed. I have what I have manually done and the new events I did manually. Anyone else ever have this happen?? HELP

    That is one way - the other way is to have iPhoto automatically split the one large event into smaller events according to your preference settings as TD suggested - the options are loading a backup from prior to the problem occurring, manually splitting back to smaller events or having iPhoto do the split according to your preference settings

  • Transfer iPhoto Events to Photo

    I have been asked by the Apple Applications App to upgrade from Yosemite 10.10.2 to 10.10.3. This update will install the new Photos App. I am concerned that I will loose my current system of filing my photos which is based upon filing all my photos into Events with a few Albums. When I go ahead and download Photos, will all of my Events remain as Events? Or, should I change all of my Events into Albums first?

    Danieldelarosaif you don't know what ⌥⌘S means, you can also achieve revealing the sidebar by going to View menu > Show Sidebar
    (I wish Apple had made that the default, so many people calling out for help because they can't see their albums converted from old Events)

  • Backing up iPhoto Events and Photos...with Automator?

    I'm still new to Mac (two months) and just figured out what Automator is. Anyway, I was curious if there's an existing automation to back up events and pictures on my external hard drive or if someone can offer a quick tutorial on how to create one. Thanks.

    Hope you will see this... I had the exact same question and need to be sure what I understand. It is easiest for me to have all contacts, calender contacts only as iCloud rather than machine based. But I want to be sure if there is a massive error on icloud (I have had them on mobile me, me.com) that I can restore from my external hard drive where I do regular time machine backups. How does that work? Does the time machine recognise what is on the calendar regardless of its origin (cloud, gmail, exchange) and then restore it to the machine. At which point I would need to manually edit them all to put them in the right cloud based storage??

  • Option to "Move Album Out Of iPhoto Events" not showing

    I've read that other Photos users, when right clicking (or Control + click) on one of the imported iPhotos Events albums, see an option in the contextual menu to "Move Album Out Of iPhoto Events". I am not seeing this option, only "Play slideshow", or Rename/duplicate/delete Album, or Sort By Name.
    Anyone seen this and/or know how to resolve this? Thanks.

    OK, thanks Leonie... unfortunately I can't do them in a batch though, I have about 300 of these!

    Re: Convert iPhoto Events to Photos Albumsin response to Kevin Hawkins
    I had the same problem. There is a quick and easy fix. Go to My Albums section and then go into the album "iPhoto Events" and then hit Command + A (Select All) that will highlight all the events. Then right click and click on move events out of "iPhoto Events". Once you do this, all your events will be individual albums listed in the album section.
    .. so why am I unable to do that?

  • I have lost all my iPhoto events after upgrading to Photos Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    I have lost all my iPhoto events. Or, am I missing something here?
    I just upgraded to the new Photos from iPhoto on my iMac. The new Photos app imported and reorganized my photos by date and mixed all of my previous well organized iPhoto events into a jumbled lot.
    How can I re-sort these photos back into an Event type of organization?
    I think I had several thousand events.

    Moments are the new Events.  All of your events in iPhoto are not Moments in Photo and were also brought over as an album. Open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination and look in the folder titled "iPhoto Events".
    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
    When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • Import (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire.  All photos (  many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS.

    Attempted to import 6.5 GB of (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire.  All photos (plus many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS.  I read a previous response to a similar question -- to copy the pictures library to the new computer.  How best to do that?

    There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
    Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

  • Unable to open the events in Iphoto or transfer photos to create a book?

    Unable to open the events in Iphoto or transfer photos to create a book. The events are there but I am when double clicking they are not opening up. Also I am unable to drag photos to create a book. Any suggestions??

    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • My iphoto events were not transformed into albums in Photo. Is there a way I can retrieve them?

    My iphoto "events" were not transformed into albums in the new Photos for Yosemite, and therefore I am back with my bulk pics, not filed. Is there a way I can retrieve the classification I had made, please?

    Whenever you connect iPhone in iTunes, it syncs and a backup is created. Check backup folder if you have that time-stamped file saved.

  • 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
