Is it possible to move photos in an event into a smart album?

Is it possible to move photos in an existing event into a smart album?

Put another way:
No. An Event is a place. A Smart Album isn't a place, it's a list. It's the answer to a Question: "What are all the photos with this keyword?" "What are all the Photos with this date?"
So, nothing in a Smart Album is moved. It remains in it's original location and is simply listed in the Album.

Using iPhoto, I want to move photo from one event to another I export it to desktop and then reimport. Titles and other info vanish; only the original jpg number comes thru. How do I avoid this?

Don't do that - flag the photo and go to the target event and use the add flagged photo to selected event command to move it intact within iPhoto

When I make a Smart Album, will the photos that match the Smart Album criteria still be present in their original location(s) in the Library after they go into the Smart Album?

When I make a Smart Album in iPhoto, will the photos that meet the criteria of my Smart Album still be present in their original location in my Library after they are "brought into" the Smart Album?

Yes.
Iphoto works as a Library. Everything is in the Library, and albums (Smart or otherwise) reference the photos from the Library.
Nother way to think about it: An Event is a place. An Album is a list...

Is it possible to move photos?

I need to MOVE photos from my iphone 5 running ios 7.1 to pc running windows 8. i cannot find an option in itunes. Please help me on this.

iTunes isn't used to move photos from phone to the computer (it can move them the other direction from the computer to the phone).
The following has instructions on how to get them from the phone to the computer and it has a section for Windows 8: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

IPHOTO 11 does not allow me to move photos from one event to another.

I recently upgraded to IPHOTO 11 and now I cannot Cut/Paste photos from one EVENT to another, I cannot flag a photo and move the photo to another EVENT. It will only allow me to create a new Event from the the flagged photo's. IS there a bug in IPHOTO11 and can I back out if this problem is not resolved?

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Compound Clips - possible to move from timeline to event?

Hi,
I know that I can create compound clips in the timeline or the events browser.
But is it possible to MOVE a compound clip created in the timeline to an event?
This would be very useful for syncing clips in the timeline first and moving them to the events browser later.
Thanks!

Create an empty Compound Clip in the Browser, and then copy and paste the relevant clips from the timeline into that CC (open the CC in the timeline first).

How can I view my photos in "Events" like in iPhoto? How can I create events? I have 55,000 photos and 1700 events so the only way I can possibly manage my photos is using events that are one slide in size.

I have 55,000 images organized into about 1700 events. The only reasonable way to view my library is using events in iPhoto where each event has one image That still leaves 1700 images to sort through but that is a lot easier than 55,000 images. In the side bar is a folder with "iPhoto Events" but those views still show all of the slides. How can I create events and view my photos as events as in iPhoto? Events are critical for large libraries and has been my primary way to sort images.
Thanks!

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!

Deleting photos from main library while in Smart Album.

anyone know of a key sequence to delete a photo from the library when viewing the photo in a smart album?
I have over 1700 photos. Sometimes I want to delete all photos within a smart album but you can not do that by just selecting delete; that only deletes it from the album and not the library. as of right now the easies way I have found to do this is to perform a batch change and rename all files the same name, then perform a search within the main library for those files and then delete them. I refuse to think Apple didn't think about creating a "delete from main library" shortcut.

Option Command Delete works for Smart albums also. At least that is what it says in the iPhoto Help/iPhoto keyboard shortcuts in the menu bar.

Re: Is it possible to move photos?

I am in a world of hurt right now trying to get this right. You know Adobe needs to do only one very simple thing to fix this.
lets say this crazy user imported half his crap to the wrong folder. I can manually import photos to the correct location, or using a new catolog move / add the photos return to the last catolog to find half my photos missing. at this point LR allows you to 'find missing photos' If you find one missing photo it magically finds other missing photos from the same folder (exact same date) If Adobe would only allow its app to go out a directory or two when finding other missing photos this problem would go away for me, and its super easy to do, and it does not open up adobe to any new issues, only fixes a huge amount of mistakes.

Why not just have Lightroom locate the top-level missing folder(s)?
If you are in folder panels, they should show a question mark. Right click on the question mark and locate the folder. If all of the folders are in an upper level folder that you can't see you can show it by right clicking on the folder and selecting "Show Parent Folder"

Using adobe pro 9 to move photos out of jpeg into a word doc and keeping name of file as well

Hi
I had an issue at work today and I wanted to move 300 jpeg photos into word. The file became very large and I query whether adobe pro 9 can reduce size of the picture and also the size of the file before putting it into word. I also wanted the name of the file to appear.
Thanks
marie

Sorry I may not have been clear. With adobe pro 9 there is a function to combine files which is what I did. I selected all the jpegs right hand click to convert to adobe (in windows). This was sufficient for my purpose but I wanted the name of the file to also appear on each of the jpeg files. I heard it is possible.

Move photos from old PC running Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition, to new PC running Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.

Hello,
My old PC (Windows XP) has 8500+ photos with loads of tags attached using Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition.
I'm trying to move all photos, and tags, to my new PC (Windows 7) . I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on my new PC.
All photos have been copied from the hard disk on the old PC to the hard disk on the new PC.
But how do I move the database/tag information between the old and new PC / between' Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition' and 'Photoshop Elements 8'?
All help is highly appreciated, as I really don't want to add all this valuable tag information manually...

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
All tags are correct, but PSE automatically reconnected only approx 5000 of the approx 8500 pictures (the picture directory has been changed)
See this FAQ for how to beat the Reconnect command into submission:

When I move photos from iPhoto library into a desktop folder, I often am unable to view more than the one I dragged. The rest remain 'stacked'

Can anyone help. I cannot reliably move multiple photos from within the iPhoto library to a desktop folder without them remaining stacked and inaccessible. Sometimes I can manually drag the photos, one by one, off the stack and arrange inside the folder. At other times, the photos remain stacked and cannot be separated???
I have no problems highlighting a group of photos and moving them as a 'stack'.
Help?

Select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) to a desktop folder

Is it not possible to move iTunes U files back into TV Shows???

I'm trying to clean up my iTunes Library, and hit a roadblock: I have some guitar training videos that were stored in TV Shows; I changed their data thru Media Kind to "iTunes U" to put them into iTunes U. The change happened no problem, but when I use the same process to move them back to TV shows, they're not moving. I used the same adjustment of changing Media Kind, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any ideas? I'm using the latest versions of iTunes and OS X.

Hi, shorty.
That entirely depends on the copyright holders for the content. Apple does not own the content and can only distribute if the copyright holder allows it.
You should direct your interest in this to the appropriate content provider for the shows you want.
...and when it happens, and you have shows available that I enjoy and am unable to get, I will be really jealous

Can you move Photos from one folder into another?

Doesnt seem like you can.
Can you?
And can you create new folders on the Finder level within LR like you can in Bridge?

You can when inside a folder. Drag from the image not the grey border. If in doubt grab the center if the image.
