Iphoto removing photos from some events but not the library

I have the current MacBook Air. I import all my pictures through the photostream. Iphoto creates an event for each month, eg June 2013 Photostream.
When I was looking through these I noticed some pictures had gone missing. I thought these had somehow got deleted but if I check under Faces they are still there and if I look at the last 12 months album they are still there as well. In the Last 12 Months album they are in the right place order wise.
I am new to Iphoto and it worries me that my pictures are going missing from some places as I am concerned that some may being deleted completely. It also makes it difficult when you are making up an album of an event as I need to look in a few places to make sure I have all the pictures from an event.
I can confirm that the pictures were definately in the monthly photosteam event and that they were not deleted from it by me. It has also happened in a couple of the months so it is not just one folder that is effected.

Let me try and explain it this way.
Say I have taken ten pictures, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
These were imported to iPhoto and went into an event it created called June 2013 Photostream. They were all imported and showed up in order 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Some of them I have now tagged faces in etc.
When I go back now and look in the June 2013 Photostream I only see 1,3,4,5,6,9,10
But if I look in the last 12 months album I still see 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 in the right place and the right order
Pictures 5,6,7,8 all had my face tagged and when I look in my face album 5,6,7,8 all show in the right place in the right order.
I have got iPhoto to rebuild the library etc and they do not go back to showing in the Photostream import folder.

Iphoto imported photos from my ipad but not from the "photo stream"- why?

I'm trying to get all files off my brother's old ipad before restoring it. I imported photos onto my computer using iphoto, but it didn't import the photos in the "photostream" on the ipad- why not? I saw that iphoto will only import photos that were taken on the ipad but I'm pretty certain these were. Thank you.

How do you remove a playlist from the iPod but not the library

How do you remove a playlist from the IPod but not the library?

If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
Hope thi helps.

How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

How do you delete albums from an I-phone 4,only able to delete from camera roll,but not the other albums

How did the photos get onto the phone ? Only photos taken with the phone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the device. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

HT1766 Is it possible to have/make several Backups of iDevice (some history, but not the last one only)?

There are two types of Backups that I can make for iDevice (for a example for iPhone - backup to iCloud or/and to the local PC/Mac.
Both are the current Backup, so my question is - Is it possible to save a several Backups of an exact iDevice, for example of iPhone (some history, but not the last one only)?

ITunes keeps 1 backup file only.
Icloud keeps 3 backup files.

How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

I am updating my blog and want to put a rectangle picture into the pre-set frame. I need to stretch it horizontally but the entire frame (i.e., both sides and top/bottom) stretched instead. How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

In Inspector, select the Graphic Inspector. Choose, from the Fill options, Image Fill. Select the image from the dropdown and click Open. Now go back to Inspector and click on Scale to Fit. Choose from the options in the window. There are a number of them which should address your problem:
With the Blog template, you will probably need to insert a text box over the stock placement frame and work with that instead.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

How to delete an event, but not the photos

hello. i imported a few photos from my iphone 4 to iphoto and it created an event. i dragged and dropped those photos to a specific album on iphoto which is the only place i want them. i then deleted the newly created event but the photos disappeared from that album i put them in as as well. how can i prevent this from happening? thanks.

You can not, of course, do that
Events is one view of the photos in your library. Photos is another
Albums are pointers to photos in your library. You can remove photos from albums without removing the photo but you can not remove the photo without removing it. Removing a photo obviously removes it from all views

Can I delete an "event" but not the photos? Turn album in2 an event....how?

If I get this right, an event basically equals every unique import of photos. Yet what am I to do if I dont want an event for every import, most especially when people email me one photo that i save to iphoto, that to me isnt a event. I spent hours upon hours creating 'albums' of what have now been coined my events.....so how do i take all the contents of one album that i created in iLife '07 and turn it into an event, even if the photos could have come from various imports along the way? iLife is telling me it's impossible, but there has to be a work around.
So basically I want to be able to delete events, but not it's photos.
And how do I turn my previous albums from iLife '07 & that include photos from various imports to one event in iLife '08.
Thanks,
Chris

Not quite. Events are NOT albums, they are an updated version of the Rolls feature in v6. As with v6, every import created a Roll, but you can move pics between Events, create and edit them and so on, just like you could with Rolls. Your albums are not affected by this activity.

CR2 files open from one camera, but not the other in CS2

Running Mac with CS2. My camera raw files shot with my lovely Canon 5D open and can be viewed in bridge and in photoshop, but NOT the camera raw from my brand new Canon powershot G9. They are both producing CR2 files. I can see the images in the bridge browser window, but when I double click to open I get a dialogue box that says, "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file." I have the 3.7 plug in installed. Please, some god or goddess of photoshop out there, show me the error of my ways!

Walt,
I will answer your questions to the best of my ability. But hopefully others who are better at this than I am will offer their help as well. So, here goes.
1. Everyone has their preferred method of using Bridge. In the Photoshop preferences I have not checked the box to have bridge start automatically. Although I use Bridge most of the time, there are occasions when I don't want to use it. So I prefer to start my Photoshop session by starting Bridge first, and then double-click on an image in Bridge to have it opened in Photoshop. In the Bridge preferences, I have checked the "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge", and I like working that way.
2. I have seen several people comment about having this problem. And occasionally it will develop after you have been using Bridge/Photoshop for a while. The only thing I can suggest is for you to hold down the Ctrl key while you start Bridge. A dialogue will appear that will allow you to reset your preferences. There are three options and you should choose all three. I know, you haven't had it installed very long, but this "could" be the problem. One guy I talked with said that he had to do it several times before it fixed the problem.
3. You indicated that you downloaded Camera Raw 4(5). What does that mean? Did you download version 4.5, which is the latest version? And, did you follow the installation instructions that were on the download page? The new plug-in must be put in the exact directory specified, replacing the old version that is already there. The old version cannot be put in a sub folder. You might as well get rid of it. You don't need it anymore. And, again, it has to go into the specific folder designated in the instructions. After you have done that, in Photoshop goto Help/About Plug-ins and click on Camera Raw. It should only be listed once, and when you click on it you should get a dialogue that will tell you what version you have installed.
4. After I installed CS3, when I inserted a card into my card reader I was presented with the normal Windows options. One of the options I was given was to download using Bridge. I chose that option and indicated to always use that option. I haven't had any problems with it since. But if that option isn't there, you can open Bridge and click on the File menu. There is an option to download images from your camera. It has worked well for me.

How do I delete an app from my phone but not the computer? Is there a way to deactivate it so it doesn't add it back when it syncs?

In iTunes under the Apps tab for the iPhone device just uncheck any app you don't want synced to the phone. When you next sync the app will be removed from the phone but remain in the iTunes library.

Removing old photos from iPhoto to external HD but not the library

Hi I have just purchased a new external HD. I already have one which is used with Time Machine for backing up my mac. My problem is the mac HD is not that big and my extrenal with time machine is also getting full and after reading around I discovered that it will start to erase old backups to replace with new ones. My problem with this is that I have used Time MAchine as a way of storing home movies and films exteranally as they take up to much space and therefore are no longer on the mac itself. I bought a new disk so that rather than being a backup i can simply store files there and when needed plug it in if i want to use them ie videos old photos etc.
I currently have smart albums set up in iPhoto for each year so photos automatically drop into these depending on when they were taken.
I would like to move the older albums straight to an external and delete from my mac. How do I go about this as deleting the smart folder wont delete the originals and can I drag a smart folder to an external drive? If not how do I find photos taken by year move them across to the external and delete the original.
Thanks

Hello there MrCoates14,
You are correct, deleting the photos from the Smart Album will not remove the originals from the computer, and based on what else you want to do with iPhoto, heres what I recommend.
First you can export the photos in the Smart Album to an external drive, as outlined in this article iPhoto '11: Export a photo found here http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2438. Note: At step 1, you want to highlight ALL the photos in the album, not just 1.
To export photos:
Select the photo or photos you want to export.
Choose File > Export.
At the top of the Export Photos window, click the File Export button.
To specify the file type for the exported photo, choose an option from the Kind pop-up menu:Original: Exports the photo as it was originally imported into iPhoto, before editing.Current: Exports the photo in its current format. If you imported a RAW-format photo and then edited it in iPhoto, the photo is exported as a JPEG file.JPEG: If you choose this format, choose an option from the JPEG Quality pop-up menu. The higher the quality, the bigger the photo. For example, if the photo will be used on a website where optimal quality for printing isn’t required, you could choose Low to save storage space on the website.TIFF: A lossless file format that works well for transferring photos between computers and applications.PNG: Another lossless file format popular for web images.
To change the size (resolution), choose an option from the Size pop-up menu:
For photos to be emailed or mainly viewed onscreen, these settings compress the photos (making them smaller):
Small: Use for photos you email or publish to websites where you don’t expect anyone to download and print your photos.
Medium: Use when you or your recipients have a reasonably fast Internet connection, such as DSL. This setting is not suitable for making prints.
Large: Use this setting when you and your recipients have a very fast connection. This size can be used to print small to standard-size photos (2 by 3, 3 by 5, and 4 by 6 inches).
For photos to be printed or published for download, these settings provide maximum detail for final prints:
Optimized: Use for larger prints and for publishing photos to websites for others to download and print. With this setting, photos are slightly compressed to a smaller file size so that they download faster without compromising quality.
Actual Size/Full Size: Use to make high-quality prints in small to large sizes, or to upload photos to websites so that others can download and print them. This setting matches the actual size of your photo, so it may take longer to upload or download.
Specify your other options:Include checkboxes: If you choose JPEG or TIFF from the Kind pop-up menu, you can include titles, keywords, and location information with the exported photos by selecting the checkboxes.File Name: Choose whether to export photos in sequence, or by their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name.Prefix for sequential: If you choose Sequential from the File Name pop-up menu, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday01, Birthday02, and so on). This step is optional.
Click Export.
Choose where to save the exported photo files, and then click OK.
Then when they are all exported you can Create a New Event from the photos in each album to group them all together in Events, so that when you delete the new event with all the photos in the album in it, they will be deleted from the library. Here is the article for that named iPhoto '11: Create a new Event found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2364.
You also have the option to iPhoto '11: Move your iPhoto library to a new location if you just want to move the entire library to the external drive and use the library from the drive directly: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Cheers,
Sterling

Iphoto remove photos from iphone not working

For the past couple months iphoto will not delete the photos from my iphone. It successfully imports them, prompts to delete, appears to delete but doesn't actually remove them. They are still on my iphone. iphoto recognizes that they have already been imported and asks to delete them again the next time I plug in my phone, I accept, looks like something is happening but they are still there. I've tried image capture as well and there is no way to delete off the phone in image capture. Help!?

Can it be, that you have enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPhone with iOS 8.1.3? Then you can import photos from the phone, but deleting from Image Capture or iPhoto will not work, if the photos are in iCloud Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Delete the photos directly on the iPhone or using the icloud webpage -
Use the "Photos Beta" app on your iCloud page:

Can delete photos from 'Camera roll' but not 'Photo Library'

Please excuse my ignorance in advance! I needed to delete some photos as I couldn't download any apps or take any more photos until I freed some space (not sure why as according to itunes I have nearly 2GB free). I recently updated iphone software and now have 2 photo albums on my phone. I deleted most of the photos on my camera roll but noticed that the new album 'Photo library' which was created when I updated the software still has all the original photos in it. I went into to it to delete them but for some reason there is no delete icon for any of these photos. Please note these are all photos taken using the iphone itself. I have never synced photos from my computer to my iphone so I can't delete them by syncing with a folder on my PC. I back up the photos by copying them manually using windows.
I would really appreciate any help as I don't want to run out of space of my iphone again especially if it is due to unnecessary duplication of seemingly undeletable photos!

You cannot delete photo library pics from the iphone.
You delete them the same way you got them there in the first place. The sync process.
Deselect the photo album/folder under the photos tab in itunes, then sync.
