Restoring flagged photos.

I accidentally unflagged my flagged photos. Is there any way to restore it?
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance.

You didn't say anything about software but if you have access to photoshop, you could also try Julieanne Kost. I love her simple straight forward explainations. I may have to replay some but I never wonder which tool or key she is talking about. Here are a couple of links to her tutorials.

Some really great videos of photoshop techniques.http://jkost.com/photoshop.html
Good luck!

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.

Lost my flagged photos. How can I retrieve them?

I have lost my flagged photos. How can I retrieve them?

Restore the library to a backup copy from just before the problem occurred. Otherwise you'll have to reflag them.

Hallo ,why is it that when I delete a photo ,which is backed up by time machine and western digital external hard drive , that I am able to restore the photo okay but not the titles and descriptions . I have a Macbook 4.1, mac osx 10.5.8 . Iphoto 7.1.5 ,

QUESTION.
Hallo , my question is ;whenever I delete a photo and restore it through Time machine and Western digital external hard drive , I am able to restore the photo but not the titles and descriptions . Western Digital inform me that it isn't their external hard drive problem and suggest that it is an Apple software problem ?
I am using a Macbook 4.1 , with Mac OSX 10.5.8 . I photo 7.1.5 , last modifie4d 01/05/2010 -universal . Should I be upgrading Iphoto ?
I hope that someone is able to help in this matter , as i have to restore 12000 photos !
Thanking you in anticipation.

Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.
regards - Alan

Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

Hi there,
While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
Additional info:
The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
The photos are also on my iCloud account
Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want. The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac. It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos. Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.

How do I move Flagged Photos Event back to original event?

I made the mistake of thinking that I was making an event from flagged photos within an event. Instead, it created a Flagged Photos event of photos from ALL my events. I've read the instructions on how to put them back, but I can't get the events close to each other to drag from one to the other. Is there another way? Or can someone explain how to move the Flagged Photos close to the original Event? I have over 400 that I want back in their original places.
Thanks!

If you didn't make a back up then you don't have one. And you should. Immeadiately.
If you want move photos to a specific Event, flag them, select the target Event and go EVents menu -> Add Flagged Photos to Selected Events

Desperately in need of help restoring my photos from iPhone 3G!

Hello All,
This is the first time I've ever posted a question on the Internet and I am desperate. I would go to an Apple Genius bar tomorrow if there was one near me...I really need to know if there is any way to restore the photos, list of contacts, etc. that I had stored on my iPhone 3G before I updated to iOS6. I had hundreds of photos of my kids on my phone, then synced to my PC before updating. I hadn't backed up anything, and am obviously not computer savvy at all and thought that the warning I saw meant that I needed to sync, not backup. Are the photos gone forever?
I've been looking at the message boards but can't find the exact answer. If someone could please help me I would be most appreciative.
Thank you so much.
PS - I also don't know what happened to the Apps I had...Shazam is gone and I'd really like it back. YouTube app also gone. All my music is gone too. I want to cry.

I found the following advice on one of the communities but it sounds a bit complicated and I'm wondering if this would work for me (not sure since I didn't backup). Any thoughts?

Hey guys, i found a solution for our problem, at least it worked for me.
1- Download Iphone Explorer (does not need to be a jailbroken device) http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/
2.) connect your iphone using the usb cable
3.) launch iphone explorer
4.) backup and then delete the following files:
/Media/PhotoData/MISC/Info.plist
/Media/PhotoData/Photos.sqlite (or /PhotoData/Photos.sqlite)
/Media/PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite (or /PhotoData/PhotosAux.sqlite)
5.) reboot your iphone
After you reboot your device, windows will prompt if you wan to open your iphone on windows explorer as usual. After you open it, your photos are going to be there, just like it was before update.

-7 Flagged Photos

From the Flagged Photos under RECENTS I cleared the flagged photos. Now it tells me that I have -7 flagged photos (7 hidden photos) which don't display when I choose VIEW -> HIDDEN PHOTOS. Further clearing of flagged photos produces the same results. Anybody have any idea what's going on? How can I find these hidden photos so I can unflag them? Wouldn't it be nice to have a category under either RECENTS or LIBRARY named "Hidden" so you can see all hidden photos?
TC

You can make a smart album in a couple of seconds:
File -> New -> Smart Album
Photo -> Is -> Hidden

Flagged photos in iPhoto not showing up in iMovie

I recently updated both imovie and iphoto. I have several flagged photos in iphoto. I am working in imovie to create a movie. When I cleck the camera on the lower right to import photos into imovie, I see all my photos. However, I don't see an option to choose the flagged photos. This has always been there. Incredibly annoying. I usually flag the pics I want to use in a movie.
I have tried closing and restarting both programs. Restarting computer. Removing all flags and reflagging some.
Still, I don't see that option to chose the flagged photos in imovie. I see all others like Events, Faces, Places, etc.
Thanks for any help.

Anyone have any ideas????
Again... I don't see the flagged photo smart album in imovie.... see screen shot below.
Where the flagged photo album should be (after Last Import)... it is not there!!
Very frustrating. Spent about 5 hours on and off with Apple support and they can't figure it out either.

Add Flagged Photos To Selected Event / Select By Date

So I am having to bite the bullet and re-import all of my referenced pics to try and consolidate them eventually into my managed library. I start with my first folder, import it, select the 103 photos in the Event with a view of then going to the existing Event, Adding Flagged Photos to it and then deleting out the older non-linked ones. Except I cannot seem to get the Add Flagged Photos function to activate in any circumstances, it is simply greyed out and nothing I do seems to want to activate it.
Is this a bug or an odd change in functionality from 09?
While we are at it, another function I used a lot in 09 was searching a photo by date from the search box in the bottom bar. I would select date, hold down the Alt button to select all pics on that day i.e. 13/12 and iPhoto would display them. It doesn't now, I follow this exact same flow and it will display all pictures that are December pics instead of the single day specific ones.

When I search by date it shows the day specific day clicked - if I "alt" click it deletes the year and shows all photo on the date in any year
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

I am just trying to restore my photos from my pc to my phone that i have backed up already on my icloud but do not know how to do this on my iphone 6 ios 8.3

If the iPhone is still working and the photos are in the Camera Roll (i.e., taken on the iPhone) then, when you connect the iPhone to your PC, it should be recognized as a Camera and Windows should start AutoPlay.

Easy. Connect to your computer and use the backup that had been created by iTunes.

Could someone help me restore my photos? I was trying to "restore my database" in iPhoto when it shut down - now my thumbnails are distorted, logged under a new name, and when you click on a thumbnail it opens as another photo. I was following another "helpful hint" hold down the option and command key and restart iPhoto - select the top three and you should be able to get rid of the dreaded exclamation point. My MAC ran through the first two options dealing with thumbnails, but crashed during the "restore database" step and now I have a mess. Help, please. Thank you.

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Simple question - moving flagged photos to the trash

Hello all,
I can't seem to figure out what should be a simple problem. When looking through my pictures, and flagging those I want to move to the trash, I can't. I go to flagged photo's, and the delete key just unflags them. I can't drag them to the trash folder, nor can I do a menu choice for the trash.
Whats the best way to handle this? (iphoto 09, by the way)

Hello.
Here is a step by step to produce what I'm seeing
1) Under last import, flag a badly blurred photo, or whatever.
2) Go to the flagged folder. Select the flagged photo, and drag it to the iphoto trash icon. Photo vanishes from flagged folder.
3) go back to last import, or the event where the photo lives. And photo is still there - dragging to the iphoto trash icon merely clears the flag.
What does work
1) Go through photo's, flagging some for deletion, editing others, etc. Finish up.
2) go to flagged photo's folder. Highlight all.
3) Go back to photos stream.
4) find one of the photos. Hold down the shift key, click on photo, drag it to the iphoto trash icon. Notice that iphoto is telling you it grabbed more than one photo (it grabbed all photos that were selected in the flagged photo - which is what we want). It deletes all the photos.
Thats a bit of a pain.
What I want to happen
Flag a bunch of photos in my library.
Go the flagged folder.
Select all the photos in the flagged folder.
Move said photo's to the iphoto trash icon, getting rid of them.
Any way to do this?
Thanks
Richard
