Smart Photo Hiding in Events?

I love Events, although, they are really just a glorified version of rolls.
Anyways, like Steve Jobs said, we make all of these albums of our events (I don't make as many because rolls usually took care of it). However, the photos that I did make albums of have photos excluded from the counterpart in the library. So this was my method of hiding photos in past versions.
Is there anyway to get the new iPhoto to compare what photos are in an event and in a album, then hide the ones that aren't in the album?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
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. .

  • EVENTS : Arranging Photos in an Event Manually

    I have imported about 8000 photos and they are sorted in separate events. I would like to re-arrange the order of some of the photos in the events manually but when I try to do this via "sort photos", the manual option is greyed out and it won't let me do it anyway via drag and drop.
    1) Why is this?
    2) Can I actually change the order of photos within an event manually?
    3) Do you have to create an additional album for each event which duplicates the event in order to re-arrange photos within an event?
    Help!

    1) Why is this?
    Because events can not be manually sorted
    2) Can I actually change the order of photos within an event manually?
    No
    3) Do you have to create an additional album for each event which duplicates the event in order to re-arrange photos within an event?
    No matter what you can not rearrange photos within events manually - you can rearrange photos in albums
    You can move photos between events, split events, and combine events
    Events are the most basic automatic organization - most people use faces, places and keywords with smart albums for their organization beyond the time based events

  • How can you tell if all photos in an event have a Place assigned?

    How can you tell if all photos in an event have a Place assigned, without clicking every photo in the event individually with the Info bar open to see if there is a little map in the bottom left hand corner please?
    cheers

    Thanks for that, just getting used to these brilliant smart albums, do I have to have one of these smart albums for every event though? can I not just use it for all photos?

  • If I have say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the 150 extras in part to save space on the hard drive, is there an easy way to find which photos to delete?

    If I have, say 200 photos in an EVENT and I use 50 of them in an ALBUM, and months later I'm happy with the ALBUM and want to trash the extra 150 photos, is there an easy way to know which 150 photos to trash? My idea is to not have hundreds of photos taking up space on the hard drive.
    Thanks.

    Various ways:
    Easy one: Flag the ones you want to keep (do this in the Album - Select All and Flag)
    Then:
    File -> New Smart Album
    Event -> contains -> Name of the Event
    Photo -> Is Not -> Flagged
    will find the unwanted 150.

  • When I open up iphoto and click on the events tab then double click on an event, it used to show minis of all the photos in that event.  Now it shows only one photo at a time.  How do I get it back? Can you help?

    On the bottom bar of the window (on the left iPhoto 11, on the right in other versions) note the slider. Drag it left.

  • Need help to copy a photo between two events.

    I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to copy a photo I want shown in two events. I have tried to duplicate the photo and drag it as well as cut and paste the duplicate, and in both instances, both photos move. Does iPhoto not allow the same photo in two events? When I click on the photo, the copy button is not highlighted as an option. Help?

    Duplicate the photo, flag one of them and go to the destination event and use the events menu ==> add flagged photo to selected event
    However this is not the best way to use iPhoto - events are a very basic inflexible organizing method - having photos in albums which uses no extra space is a much better way or organizing photos

  • 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.

  • How do I move individual photos from 1 event to another event in Iphoto 8

    I have moved from a PC to a mac and was using Picasa before. All my photos are stored on a seperate hard disc and I have imported them all into iphoto. I am trying to edit them and cannot seem to find a way to move an individual photo from one event to another. When you open an event is there any way of seeing the other events and dragging and dropping your photo that way?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1 Use PHOTOS view and then select View > Event Titles
    (You can open and close Events by clicking on the wee triangle to the left of the title. option (or alt) - click will open and close all at one go.)
    2. You can now drag and drop pics between Events easily.

  • More than 1,000 photos in Photostream, Events as well?

    I made a clean install of Lion and recuperated about 5,000 photos in a regular folder structure. Never opened iPhoto after the clean install.
    Yesterday, I upgraded iPhoto on all devices, including my MBP and opened iPhoto for the first time. I activated Photostream and now I have the advertised 1,000 photos in Photostream but overall, I find now 2,300 photos and 79 events. I did not import anything in iPhoto, did not open iTunes and have never synced iPhone and iPad over iTunes with this machine. How is that possible?
    I had my 5,000 photos still on my iPhone and iPad where I installed yesterday also iPhoto for iOS. Did Photostream recuperate all of those photos? Did it sync them back from my mobile devices?
    Anybody any ideas?

    You're talking about photo stream (up to 1000 photos for up to 30 days).  Photo stream is not a photo storage service, in fact, icloud doesn't provide a photo storage; the only other thing it does is perform backups of the Camera Roll, if you have set that up correctly.  You should be syncing photos to your computer for archiving, don't trust the pics to icloud!
    Aside from storing on your computer, there are other services that provide storage - like Dropbox.

  • Is there a way to transfer all of my photos in my iPhone's Photo Albums and Events to my new macbook?

    My MacBook's hardrive failed. My only backup for iPhoto is on my iPhone. I bought a new MacBook Pro and I'd like to restore all the Photo Albums and Events from my iPhone. Is there a 3rd party app that is capable of this?
    I downloaded iMacsoft to transfer music, books, etc. But it will only transfer photos in my iPhone's Camera Roll.

    Are these photos on your iPhone?  Can you actually see them?  If so, then iCloud should see them as well.  All else fails, plug in the iPhone via a USB cable into the new Mac and iPhoto will launch showing you what photos you can import in.
    Again, the old photos in question MUST be on the iPhone (i.e. you at one time sync'd your entire photo library to your iPhone, which to my knowledge also makes it available to the iCloud backup if you have enough room).
    No, it is not easy to get synced photos back to the Mac. An iCloud backup does not include the synced photos nor the Photo Stream photos. See:
    iCloud: Backup and restore overview
    One way to save the synced photos back to the Mac is to save them to the Camera Roll. This requires extra space on the device and much tapping, because it is not easy to save all photos at once to the Camera Roll. It would be easier with iPhoto iOS. Here you can share the the synced photos to iTunes and then save them using iTunes photo sharing on your Mac. In iPhoto you can select ranges of photos to share - much less tapping required.  See:  http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/#blnk7d8f763e
    Use your photos in any app by saving them to the Camera Roll.
    Import photos directly into iPhoto or Aperture on your computer.
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes.
    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.

  • By double clicking on a photo opened in event I get the picture of an exclamation mark instead of the big photo. also the slideshow does not work anymore.

    When I double click on a photo opened in events I get a black question mark in stead of the big photo.
    subsequently the slide show does not show pictures. I hope anyone knows if I have may be changed a setting?

    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair Library permissions

  • What happened to the thumbnail photo in an event?  Previously all I had to do was to drag the thumbnail photo to a folder, now I need to drag each individual photo to that folder.  If that means a few or several, it's a hassle. Any help for this one?

    What happened to the thumbnail photos for an event?  Previously when I wanted to transfer an event to a specific folder all I needed to do was drag the thumbnail.  If there were multiple events, I only needed to pick the one I wanted and drag it.  Simple and it worked very well.  If there was an event with several, I only neede to drag the one thumbnail and it was done.  Now I need to drag each individual photo to the new folder.  Sometimes that could mean 10, 20 or more. Doing one at a time is can be a very slow process.  If there are events that need to be split, it can be even slower.  Any positive ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    You need to follow iPhoto terms since we only know what you tell us
    what are you calling folders - in iPhoto folders can not hold photos - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders
    The basic default view of photo is by event (iPhoto '08 and later)
    Exactly what you you trying to do?

  • Help!  Can't figure out how to store the same photo in different events

    I know that this is just a user error problem, but I can't figure out how to store multiple versions of the same photo in different events. For example, I use Aperture as my main photo library, so I have a big folder set-up by year and then by events within those years to organize and maintain my library. I'm currently working on a project where I would like to pull out certain pictures for other uses. I tried creating new events and then moving the pictures to those events (like I would have in iPhoto) expecting for a new version of the picture to be deposited in the new event. That didn't work - it moved the picture out of my "main library" folder and as far as I can see it now only exists in the new event. Next, I tried creating "new versions" of the pictures I wanted to move and then just selecting those and moving them. In one folder I selected three photos, clicked "New Versions", then in the browser display I could see two of each picture (for a total of six), I selected ONE of each photo and moved those three to the new event. At which point all six disappear from the "main library" and end up in my new event. I don't understand why that happens. Currently the only way I've been able to do what I need to do is by using the flag field, but as far as I can tell there is only one of those - it's on or off that is really not serving my purpose. What do I need to do???

    Like Jim said, you most likely want Albums for what you describe. Albums simply consist of "pointers" to a single compilation of image data. Albums can be created and deleted at will, because they are just pointers; an important concept.
    Also learn to use Keywords - and unlearn "folder" organization, which is not the way digital asset management works. The power of Albums and Keywords is huge once we lose the film-think of folders organization.
