Sorting flagged photos?

Using CC, I selected some photos and chose Photo > Set Flag > Flagged
I now want to sort based on the Flag and I click on each of the 3 flag buttons in my Library Filter, though it does not seem to bring up my photos. It brings up lots of other photos, even though I did not flag those, as far as I know...
Thanks for any help.

If you click on each of the 3 flags, you tell LR to show all, which virtually is like setting no filter. You need to select either the picked or rejected .. and make sure you have selected the correct source (folder, collection ..).

Reversing "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event" Command

Apparently, we inadvertently moved all of our flagged photos to one event using the "Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event" Command. The problem is, I want all of these flagged photos back in their original events.
Is there a way to do this without manually re-sorting the photos? I currently have ca. 10,000 photos in 270 events, and I am not looking forward to a manual re-sort.
Thanks in advance for your help.

The easiest way ti to use your backup of the iPhoto library - that is why you make them - in case of software, hardware or human error
If that will not do it, I can not test this but it should get you started - assuming that your events are in the default time/date based set up - and assuming that the photos are still flagged create a new event form the flagged photos and select that event - under the event menu ==> autosplit selected event - this will create new events that will be next to the event the photos came from - then go through and merge the newly created events with the event the photos came from
Other that your backup I can not think of any other way to get there except to move each photo manually

What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto

What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto? They do not have digital dates.

Hey Chicago Sue,
Once you scan them and have them on your desktop. You should use Automator and assign the common IPTC tags to the images, so that when you do import them into iPhoto, they get recorded.
Here is an example of an action in Automator:

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

How can I sort my photos by size? I need to get rid of those which are too small to print.

Is there a way to sort individual photos in iphoto by size. (I know you can sort photos in finder- picture by size, but mine are in iphoto). I am organizing my thousands of photos into files within iphoto in order to print hundreds. I am finding that many are too small to ever print (20-30kb) , and would like to delete those en masse rather than waste time sorting them, but cannot find a way to do that. Does anyone know if there is a way? It would be a terribly useful function. Also, sorting by size would enable you to resize photos that take massage amounts of room unneccesarily. Thanks for any info.

No there is no way to do this.

No it wouldn't. There's no way to change the filesize in iPhoto, it always preserves the original file.

How can I sort my photos in a descending order as I could in iPhotos

How can I sort my photos in a descending or ascending order as I could in iPhotos?

Greetings Regina,
Hope Waukesha is treating you well, haven't been there in years
Events are sorted in the following ways:
If Date, Keyword, Title, and Rating are not what you are looking for then it is time to start using Albums.
Highlight the images you wish to work with and then go to File > New > Album (you can drag more images into this Album later if you want to arrange more of them.)
Once you have the images in an Album you can use the "Manually" sort option which means you can drag the images into whatever order your heart desires.
Hope that helps.

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.

Can I sort my photos to a different order than by date of creation?

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

I'm looking for an answer to this, too, since I have thousands of Events, and so scrolling down to the bottom every time I want to show my newest photos makes it almost unusable.

-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.

Why can't I sort my photos by Title when creating a Calendar?

I am doing my first calendar in iPhoto 9.1.2, and thus experiencing my first 'issue' with the new interface. I am creating this calendar from an Event of a family member's 400+ photos from their recent trip to Australia, and unfortunately for me, the battery that keeps track of date and time on her camera was not functioning, so they are all labeled with the same date of Jan 1, 1980. Thankfully I can sort them by Title when viewing in iPhoto. However, when I select this Australia Event to create my calendar, all of the photos revert to being sorted by date. I have tried re-sorting them while in my calendar project, but there are no changes in the order of the images.
Please tell me there is a work-around for this problem. Seems like in the past, the order of the photos when creating a project reflected the way they are sorted in your library.
Thanks in advance if anyone's got any tips...

I did manage to figure out a way around this --- while in the Event, I sorted all photos by title, and then I Batch-Changed the dates to a new date, leaving a minute between each photo, thus putting them in the right chronological order when I created a project using these photos.
