Moving Photo's between events

Ok i'm beat
How do you move individual photo's between events
The open event in separate window has gone in 11 so that option is no more
I know there is an option to copy & paste but it is working at all it allows to copy but the past option is greyed out I have also tried CMD + C CMD + V still nothing
Any Help Please
Thanks Guys

This worked for me (or at least something like this :-p).
Select the two events between which you would like to exchange photos. Double click one of the selected events. (You should see a "zoom" of only the two selected events.) Select the photo you want to move; drag it to the other event. (Hmm... Looks like you might need to drag the photo to the title of the "new" event.)

  • Moving Photos from One Event to Another

    I don't entirely understand how to do this. When I want to move photos from one event to another, I usually just drag the photos from one event to another. This works fine when the two events are next to each other (within the same window). However, it he event is not in the same window (requiring a scroll up or down) then the drag and drop can't happen (i.e., having to drag photos from my last event to the first event). Any suggestions here?

    If you're merging two Events you ca do this in Event View - just drag one Event to the Other and they will be merged.
    If you're moving pics from an Event to another (but not a Full Merge):
    Photos View, the go View -> Event Titles and option Click on the wee triangle to close all the Events.
    Then open the Event you want to get the Files From. Select the Files.
    Drag them to the bottom of the iPhoto Window - above the toolbar - and the Window will scroll. (There's a bit of a knack to doing this: there's a sweet spot just above the tool bar. Get the Cursor there and the window will scroll. With practise you can even control the rate and speed of scrolling)
    Drop them on the target Event.

  • Moving photos within an event

    How do I move the photos within an event so that they are in the order that I desire?

    that is not a feature of iPhoto - events are basically time/date based
    Use albums for custom order of photos

  • HT5129 using apeture and moving photos selected or event to apeture from iphoto

    how do I move an event to apeture from iphoto? They will not stay open together for me to drag? or slideshow or a photo, anything that may help?

    If you're using iPhoto 11 and Aperture 3 there's no need to move anything. Just open the Library with your preferred app.

  • IPhoto'08  Moving Photos Around Inside Events

    When I open up an events window and want to rearrange my photos by dragging them, they snap back to their original positions. How do I keep this from happening?

    Marc - welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    When I open up an events window and want to rearrange my photos by dragging them, they snap back to their original positions. How do I keep this from happening?
    You can not except by changing the photo times (Photo menu ==> adjust time and date -- or -- Photo menu ==> batch change ==> time and date) - events are a very basic time based view of your library and have limited flexibility
    In photo view if you turn off "show event titles" you can manually order photos but this is not a great way and with a large library can created significant loading speed problems
    The best way is to use albums which are infinitely flexible in both content and order - select the photos you want to play with and use the File menu ==> "make new album from selection" entry - in the album you can move photos to your heart's content - to add to an album just drag photo to it

  • What will happen? Moving photos/LR between computers.

    I've been abroad in Spain with my laptop for half a year, and i started using LR after i came here.
    I love it, except that it's a bit slow.
    I have my pictures on an external USB disk and have LR installed here on my laptop.
    Anyway, i'm going home in a couple of weeks, and i'm going to buy a new desktop computer to do image processing on, won't do that on my laptop again unless i'm going for a long vacation.
    I assume i won't have a problem installing lightroom on my desktop computer(i realize that i only have one permit right? so i'll have to uninstall from my laptop i guess).
    But how do i actually move my entire library of photos?
    They are right now in something like
    Z:\Bjarni\Archives\EOS\yyyy-mm-dd
    But will most likely be in something completly diffrent on my new computer, except that the EOS\yyyy-mm-dd will remain the same...
    So, does lightroom store absoloute locations? or relative?
    What would be the best way to go about doing this?

    >So i'm guessing that if i just copy this folder over to my new computer all should be good?
    Yes, copy the
    Folder containing the
    Lightroom Database.lrdb and
    Lightroom Previews.lrdata file/folder to your new computer.
    You can then connect the portable USB drive to your new computer, copy the image files across or just leave them on the portable drive. Either way, when Lightroom is launched the thumbnails will very likely appear with a
    ? symbol on the top right corner and the folder names will appear in red. This symbol is used to alert you to fact that Lightroom can no longer find the files. If this happens follow the guidance provided
    Here
    If space permits I would recommend copying the image files across to your internal disk drive, but it's not absolutely necessary.
    Hopefully you find the tutorial useful

  • Moving photo files between Mac and Windows

    When I upload photos from my camera to my MacBook Pro, and then try to copy some to a Windows PC, I can't access them on the PC.
    Is there a solution to this please?
    Thanks!

    Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
    Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
    However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
    Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
    Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

  • Changing order of photos within an event

    What are the steps to moving photos within an event? I have tried the drag and drop. I have even tried the view>sort by but the manual option is grayed out. Can anyone help?

    That may be the answer but it is not helpful. Many people use events to organize their photos and it makes absolutely no sense not to be able to sort them manually within particular events. This is a design flaw.

  • Difference between Events and Photos

    I'm an iMac noob, so bear with me I just moved 12,000 photos from my PC to Mac, all good.
    Can anyone simply explain the difference between "Events" and "Photos"? When I click on "Photos", it seems to open every folder of photos I moved over, is there any way to collapse all of these without having to collapse each individually?
    I am trying to organize folder and albums, a big task...but trying to figure out the difference between "Events" and "Photos" and the purpose/usage/advantage of each. They seem to be somewhat of a duplication.
    Nobody said the pc to mac migration would be simple...
    Thanks in advance.

    in the photo view to the left of each "event title" there is a little gray triangle - depress the option key and click it - all events will open or close with the click

    THey are different ways of viewing your photo library and can have different sorts (view menu => sort) and in photos view you can turn off event titles so you have one giant bucket of photos sorted as you requested
    And you probably should look at keywords and smart albums as an organization aid too

  • How can you take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in.

    As the title says I need help on how to take a photo from one event and put it in another, without dragging to desktop and dragging back into iPhoto and moving it to the event folder I want it in. Right now when I want to move a picture from one event to another I drag it to my desktop then delete it from iPhoto then I drag it back into iPhoto and put where I want it.An example would be taking a photo from the Christmas event and add it to a specific person event.  Can I do that within the events section without all the dragging. Also is there anyway I can remove duplicates from iPhoto without going through each and every file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apple doesn't make it easy to do what you want.  However, here's how I do it. 
    Select the photo you want to move and create a new Event for it via the Event ➙ Create Event menu option.
    In the Event mode select the new Event with the one picture and drag it onto the Event you want to move the photo to.

  • Can't Drag Photos Between Events

    Having just upgraded to iPhoto 11, I find I can't drag photos between events. The help info seems to be the same as the prior version, but when I select two events, then select a photo and drag it, the photo springs back to it's current location.
    Any preferences or techniques I'm missing? Thanks.

    Terence,
    Thanks for your suggestions and sorry for the confusion; I misspoke in the sentence you quoted from my last post.
    I don't want to drag photos internally within an event, I want to drag them from one event to another.
    In prior versions of iPhoto I could do this in Events mode (perhaps Photos mode as well, but I never tried). I opened two or more Events simultaneously, highlighted the photos in one event and dragged and dropped them anywhere inside another. Now, I can only do this by dropping on the event title.
    iPhoto 11 help topic "Move photos between events" steps it out. The pertinent points are:
    Select two Events: the one you want to move photos from and the one you want to move those photos to.
    TIP: Drag your pointer to enclose two Events that are next to one another. To select two Events that aren’t adjacent, click the first Event to select it, and then hold down the Command key as you click the second Event.
    Double-click one of the Events.
    Both Events open. The photos they contain appear in the window below their Event titles.
    Select the photos you want to move, and drag them to the Event you want to add them to.
    It doesn't work for me, and I'm wondering what's changed in iPhoto 11, or does my software have a bug? Thanks.

  • Moving a photo in an event

    I'm trying to change the order/position of some photos in an event (for example, making the 5th photo in an event the 1st photo etc). Thought it was as simple as dragging the photo I want to move to it's new position in the event, but each time I try to do that the photo want move. Any suggestions?

    You really can not in event view - photo view you can go to manual sort and change the order of with photos title turned off
    Events are a time based display and being time based does not match up with moving photos. If you are trying to set the key photo (the one that displays as the thumbnail for an event) with the event open select the photo and under the events menu select "Make key photo" or in thumbnail view scroll side to side to the photo you want as the key photo and hit the space bar once to set it as the key photo

  • Moving Photos around  inside an "Event"

    I am having trouble moving my photos. I would like to have a certain photo at the beginning, so it will show in the Event window, I would like to be able to put the photos in ANY order I like within the Event window . When I try to do it in "Photos" I lose what Event it belongs in .
    In the Photos section, is the only way to organize the headings by the year??
    Also it seems that iPhoto is slow. When I move the BlueBar to move thru the Photos In the Photo mode I have to wait for the photo headings to catch up with my Bar movement & start moving the bar again so that I know where I am......It seems to move fast enough when I am moving thru the Events in the same manner. I hope my explanation is not to confusing. Any help would be appreciated . Thank you, Warren

    first this is posted in the iPhoto 06 forum but since you discuss events I assume that your question is about iPhoto '08 - If I'm right, it would be better to post it there - http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=227 - to avoid confusion and answers that do not apply to your situation
    The SLOWness you are seeing is probably caused by viewing your library in photo view with no event titles - this causes a lot of extra processing as you open iPhoto and as you scroll through the photos - turning event titles on or going to event view probably will improve your scrolling speed a lot (as you have noticed)
    I would like to have a certain photo at the beginning, so it will show in the Event window
    This is easy - event view place your mouse over an event and move it sideways until the photo you want as the "event Photo" show up - let loose of the mouse and hit the space bar -- or open the event, select the photo and go to the events menu ==> Make key photo
    I would like to be able to put the photos in ANY order I like within the Event window
    You can not - events are displayed time based - you can make albums and put them in any order you want
    You can manually sort the library in photo view with event titles turned off (but as you see that makes things slow)
    But you can not "put the photos in ANY order I like within the Event window" -- that is the way iPhoto is designed and the way you have to use it
    To request enhancements go to the iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Moving clips between events

    In the FCPX manual, it states that you can move clips between events by just clicking and dragging a clip from one event to another. It also says that doing the same thing with the option key down will copy clips to the other event.
    However, I've noticed that dragging a clip to another event just makes a copy of the clip. It's kinda annoying. Any workaround?

    I'm seeing odd behaviour with this too.
    Imported a tape which contained 3 separate days footage of different activities.
    These were imported to my Movies folder in Home directory.
    I created 2 new events and tried moving the content as per manual instructions for content on same drive but I only ended up with copies or a freeze due to a non-updating background activity (the file transfer).
    Ended up with multiple copies of the same clips in different events on the same drive, some events listing the clips several times but only a single physical clip when viewed in Finder.
    I managed to move a single clip successfully but for the life of me not sure why that worked - maybe because it was a single clip not a group?
    This is very disconcerting behaviour when you're trying to organise content.

  • Coping Photos Between Events

    For some reason I am unable to move photos between events or move file directly from the iPhoto window to the desktop. The normally + sign that signifies coping does not appear when you try to drag the images around. Is there a setting somewhere that stops this?
    Help please!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It's a font issue, specifically Helvetica Neu. Open Font Book (in your Applications folder), find the Helvetica Neu, deactivate it and then reactivate it.
    If you don't have that font then you'll have to find it on your system install disk with Pacifist and install it. Most times it's there and just needs to be jump started.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
