Strange Event Organisation in Photo App!

Hey guys,
All of a sudden, out of the blue, my iPhone has completely changed the way it displays my photos in the events tab.
Currently, I have 9 events, all set up in iphoto with all the relevant data attached.
One or two of the events, I have added more photos on different days to the events, but still kept them as one event. Before, my iPhone would list the events in the same way as it does on iPhoto. But now, its chosen to display all the events, sorted into seperate events, as if I hadnt touched them in iphoto. I have multiple events, with the same titles, but only a fraction of the entire event in each entry.
Any ideas?!

The camera should be able to geotag your pictures with a location even without an international plan, yes, Canada or the Caribbean shouldn't matter. (You can prevent geotagging from happening by turning Location Services off for the Camera in Settings, General, Location Services, BTW--you might want to make sure it is still on, just in case)
However, several people are reporting that Places isn't showing all their geotagged pictures.
I'm assuming it's a bug--report it to Apple via AppleCare, Genius Bar, or http://apple.com/feedback
Possibly the 4.1 update will fix it.

Unknown events in the photos app

After Install 5.1 there are unknown events in the photos app like 137imprt or 138imprt and so on. Is there a way to delete them, I already delete all pctures in this folders.

I found this work arround:
first I opened the empty folder, than I added one (old) picture in this folder, opened the picture, deleted this picture - and then disappeared not only this picture even the folder!

Strange behaviour of iPad Photos app/My Photo Stream with iOS 8.1 and Yosemite

My requirement is surely simple and commonplace, yet is proving impossible to achieve thanks to Apple's weird design of the Photos app and the way My Photo Stream works. I'm very technically savvy, but I'm quite prepared to admit I'm being stupid if someone can explain what I'm doing wrong! I have an iPad Air running iOS 8.1 and a MacBook Pro Retina with OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). I've enabled iCloud Drive on both. iPhoto on the Mac is at v9.6.
I have a selection of 109 photos from a recent holiday in a folder on my MacBook, which I would like in a folder on my iPad as a nice way to show them to friends. iTunes may work but seems so incredibly clunky and old-fashioned I hoped I could do it over the network or via the cloud. I would use (and often have used) Dropbox, which is reliable and logical but rather tedious as you have to save each photo one by one.
So, with a little research and playing around, I found that I could get them to the iPad using iPhoto on the Mac, with My Photo Stream enabled. However, it doesn't seem to work. The photos were all created yesterday so had yesterday's date (I'd removed EXIF data that contained various earlier dates).
I've just done the following test:
I deleted all photos from the iPad (using the Photos app)
On the Mac, I deleted all photos from iPhoto
In iPhoto Preferences on the Mac, I turned on “My photo stream”, with the two sub-options also enabled
I imported the 109 photos into iPhoto
On the iPad, in My Photo Stream, I saw the photos gradually appear over the next few minutes
A minute or two later, when no more seemed to coming, I found that 103 of the original 109 were in My Photo Stream. So, strangely, 6 photos were missing
Even stranger, in the “Photos” tab, under “Yesterday” 37 of them could be seen. If I understand this correctly (which I may not), that means 37 of them had been copied from the My Photo Stream to the iPad itself. Am I right? Why only 37?
On the iPad, I added a new Album called Summer 2014
I selected all 103 photos from My Photo Stream to add to the album
In the Summer 2014 album, I briefly see “103 Photos” at the bottom of the album, but this quickly changes to 66 as photos that briefly appeared now disappear, leaving only 66 left in the album
Checking in Photos/Collections/Yesterday, I find there are now 66 photos (rather than 37 as there were earlier) - the same ones that are showing in my Summer 2014 album.
If I attempt to manually add any of the missing photos to the album, nothing happens - the album refuses to allow any more than the 66 it has.
In iPhoto on the Mac, if I click on the SHARED/iCloud entry on the left, I see all 109 photos, which I think means iPhoto has correctly shared them all, so I suspect the problem is with the iPad.
Yesterday, when I was playing with this, the album allowed 68 photos. I tried deleting one and adding one of the missing photos, but it wouldn't allow this either, so I don't think it's objecting to the number of photos so much as disliking particular ones.
I've got 7.7GB free space on the iPad so I don't think it's a space issue.
Can anyone help? If it's a bug in iOS, iCloud or OS X, how can I report it, given that I'm out of my 3 months support for both my machines?
Thank you!

Well done lumacj! This is a good workaround. Forgive me if I offer a simplified version here (this works if original photos are in Photo stream):
1. In "My photo stream", tap on select at top of screen
2. Tap on each photo you want to send via WhatsApp (circle with "√" shows for each photo)
3. Tap on square box with arrow at bottom of screen (Share) - NOT "Add To"
4. Tap on "Save image(s)"
5. Check that selected photos now appear on "Camera Roll"
6. From WhatsApp, send photos as you would have normally

IOS 4.2.1 - can't sort events anymore in Photos app?

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1, and I'm using iTunes 10.1 and iPhoto '11 (9.1) on OS X 10.6.5.
In iPhoto on my computer, I have Events sorted newest to oldest, and it showed up that way on my iPhone before the iOS 4.2.1 update. Since updating, Events will only stay sorted oldest to newest, and no matter what I try (changing sort order and back in iPhoto, syncing in between changing sort order, restarting iPhone, etc...) I can't seem to get my iPhone to reflect the sort order that shows in iPhoto.
Is anyone else experience this problem? And more importantly, has anyone found a fix for this? I don't understand why iOS 4.2.1 would break photo sorting if there were no changes made to the Photos app.

The same thing happened to me. I was on a mission yesterday to fix it, but didn't get it to work. I have 1 more thing i want to try... but haven't had a chance.
Has anyone fixed this?
My plan is to unsync photos to remove them from my phone, delete all the photo cache information from the iPhoto Library package, empty the trash, reboot my computer AND iPhone, open iPhoto to make sure they're sorted correctly, and then sync my phone. If that doesn't fix it... i dont know, i might call Apple.

Where can I find the "event" information I had in iPhoto events in new photos app?

Just upgraded to OS X and the new Photos app and I am having a hard time adjusting from iPhoto where I had (happily) organized years of photos into events. I can see my 771 "events" now called albums in a sub-album called "iPhoto events" HOWEVER, I cannot seem to find/view the little notes or summaries of event information that I had inputted in iPhoto. I often wrote a brief (or detailed) bit of information, anecdotes or fond memories about various "events" and now I am frustrated that might all be gone. Can anyone help?

Oops Sorry Jumped the gun again! i found out how to do it. I was using my jot touch styles which mean you have to hold down the icon on the upper left with the styles then use your fingers to do the pinch and zoom gesture to make it work

Problems with events in Photo app on upgrading to iOS8

Yes we understood that iPhoto & Aperture were to be discontinued on the desktop OS sometime in the future but it was a shock to find without warning when upgrading to iOS 8 that iPhoto would not work. Why didn't Apple tell us this!
The new version of iOS 8 Photos app. is better then the previous but just doesn't have the features when I have spent hours tagging, editing and sorting all my photos in iPhoto on my iPad and desktop.
On migrating to iOS8 all my photos transferred fine but the Events are now in a random order in the Photos app on my iPad rather then in the date created order as is the norm and is reflected in iPhoto on the desktop. They appeared in the correct order in the Photo app before the update. I cannot seem to change that, so I am unable to easily find the photos I wish to view by scrolling through the Events. Has anyone any suggestions of how to sort this? Removing photos and re-syncing them did not help neither has a complete update, restore and re-sync!
Even trying to find a photo using the new improved search function does not help me find the photos. Even though I give each Event a name "Lisa's Wedding" etc. the search function in the Photos app in iOS 8 fails to find events or most keywords which I had hoped it would. From what I have seen so far the search finds titles of individual photos, albums and geo tags, however even the geo tags seem to be named differently to what show up in iPhoto on the desktop.
Presently I have had to downgrade to iOS 7.1.2 so that I can carry on working the way that I did as do need to work!
I have raised a complaint with apple regarding the dumping of the iPhoto now and a bug report regarding the ordering of Events on the Photos app. (I seemed to recall that happened with a very early version of the Photos app.) However if anyone has any suggestions of work arounds or if I am just missing something, then all and any advice would be very welcome.
Thank you
Simon

but just doesn't have the features when I have spent hours tagging, editing and sorting all my photos in iPhoto on my iPad and desktop.
You cannot add tags and captions in Photos iOS 8, and you cannot see them when opening a photo. But the tags you added previously are still there when you migrate the iPhoto library to Photos. You will see that, when you use the search field and enter one of your tags or a caption. This will find all photos with this tagged you then can create an album of all tagged photos for each tag. Creating albums with distinctive names is the new way of tagging. You can search for album names.
I share your sentiments entirely, and I hope Apple will provide an update to Photos soon or offer app extensions to add the missing features.

Photo events empty to other apps

Hi all, since updating to 4.3 on the iPad
(original), some (maybe half) of the events in the photo app dont show in other apps, for example, Pages and graphic apps. They show fine the actual Photo app though. The events that are empty to other apps also show a scrambled image as the event thumbnail when looking through the events.
Anyone else have this issue and/or found a fix.
Thanks!

Open Iphoto.
Select all events
Open "Batch Change"
Set "Date" as current date
It will then set all time the same
It will then sort by event name
Sync and all events will be in alphabetized ord
got this from another thread, def fixed the problem but makes all the dates the same (forcing it to use alphabetical). Hopefully new OS will solve this nuisance bug/feature!

Erase images and events in Photo app

I cannot erase numerous events in Photo app. Firstly my photos have organised themselves into 30 - 40 events with 3 or 4 photos in each event. This was not how they were imported. Some corruption has occurred. More importantly I cannot erase them. If I set photos in iTunes to sync with nothing, these 30 - 40 events will not disappear. Any suggestions to erase all photos in the ipad Photo app?
Thanks

IOS 8 Photos App - Events Album Sort Order is Screwed

Hi,
When I sync my photos (that are grouped into Events) from my Mac iPhoto Library, to my iPhone and view them in the iOS 8 Photos App, all the events are no longer sorted in order - they used to be sorted chronologically in 7.1.
To try and find the event photos that you are looking for is now impossible.
Does any one known how to fix this or is it a regression bug that they have introduced with iOS 8?
Rgds
Gary

This is such a cluster-f*ck. I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto. Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is. This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority. Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this.
What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto. I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this. Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword. I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad.
Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

Create an event in Photos.app

How can I create an event in the new Photos.app
The only way I found was to create a new Album with my imported photos from my Hard-Drive and than, give it the name of the event I wish.
This procedure is very long and not easy to do. With iPhoto I just put the folder (with the name of the event and containing my photos) over the iPhoto.app icon and that all I had to do. I get my event with the photos and everything was well organized. New it's a **** of a job !!
Anybody has a better way to create an event?
Thank you for your help.

The Events in the Photos sidebar are just Albums created from those events when the conversion to Photos was made. You can create new albums by selecting the photos and using the File ➙ New Album menu option:
The new album will appear just above the Flagged smart album. It can be moved into the folder titled iPhoto Events if you want or wherever else under Album you'd like to have it.

Photos app on iPhone contains photos under Events which aren't in iPhoto on Mac

Hi,
When I open the Photos app on my iPhone 4S there are a series of "Events" which contain photos. None of these events are listed within iPhoto on my Mac and I can't find where it is taking the photos from. All the events are just labelled with a date, for example "17 Dec 2012", but I am unable to delete the photos from my iPhone and because they are not showing up in iPhoto I can't delete them from there!!
Any suggestions?!?
Thanks,
Mark

I figured it out if anyone else is having the same issue. I had to manually kill the photo app and it updated the pictures I just added when I re-opened it.

Photos App Cannot Split or Merge Events?

Whenever Apple updates their OS software, they tout what wonderful new features it has. What they don't say is what they discarded as well. I depend on the "Events" feature to organize my photos by a great variety of subjects and topics (way too many to keep separate "Albums" for). I name them with a variety of keywords to make searching easier. But I also like to search through the mass of Events by date to narrow the search.
Now I upgraded to Photos, and suddenly commands to manage Events and name them seem gone.
• I looked in Apple's HELP for Photos and it can't find anything about "Events."
• I did find the sidebar (which was hidden on first launch) but it only shows an "Album" named "iPhoto Events."
• When it hit the little triangle next to that album, it just shows an impossibly long list of my events. This is useless to me.
• When I just clicked on the album, my events all appear, but without any dates showing when I roll over them with the mouse, as they did in iPhoto.
• The photos in the Events Album display no longer show a 'quick review slideshow' of the photos contained in that event, as they did in iPhoto.
• When I imported new photos from my iPhone, it shows all the photos I took on a given day, but there seem to be no tools with which to split them into separate Events, name the events, merge them into existing events, and so on.
I depend on these tools on a daily basis. PLEASE, Apple, can you restore proper event management for those of us who use these features? This big idea of making everything on my laptop computer work the same way it does on my iPhone or iPad is absurd. It seems to always cause a vast "dumbing down" of the software to 'touch' use, eliminating all 'roll overs,' all 'pop up hints,' all 'dragging' and so on. Apple was supposed to be about choices, diversity, in the beginning. Now it's all about uniformity? Forget it!
Oh, and one more thing: Naming it "Photos" instead of "iPhoto" now means that searching for the Photos app online is impossible. That's because when such a generic word is used for the app, searches just bring up everything in the world with the word "photos" in it. They did this with "Mail" and now it's exceedingly hard to search for tips on how to solve problems with the Mail app, because every document in the world with the word "mail" in it comes up. Please, Apple, stop this nonsense, and give your apps recognizable names!

Offhand it is hard to think of a name for an email client that is less descriptive than Mail

How to enable the events/faces tab on photos app

How do i enable the events and faces tab on my photos app? I downloaded iphoto

u must have mac computer :(
no windows

ATV and Photo App: Event based sorting disappeared

With the new update to the new Photo app, I can no longer view my photos from my TV (via my Apple TV) sorted by "events." Everything is sorted only by the actual folders the pictures are in, and since most of my photos are in the iPhotos Library "file" I can't sort these in any useful way.
Please fix this so that I can view the photos using the events based sorting method, which is how I have been organizing my photos for the last several years in iPhoto. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I went to iTunes --> Files --> Home Sharing --> Choose Photos to Share...and was able to click on the share "Photos" option from the pull down menu. This wasn't there yesterday so looks like there was an update in the meantime.
The problem is that the photos are shown in chronological order, so it's a pain to scroll all the way down to get to the more recent photos. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon, like the way they had it in iPhotos.
