iphoto '11 not keeping imported iphoto '09 photos in their events

Has anyone had trouble with iphoto 11 not keeping photos in their events after importing from iphoto 09? I'm about to upgrade and have heard that iphoto 11 (or is that now 13) does not bring in photos in their events.

iPhoto '11

after importing from iphoto 09?


True if you actually do Import your old library - that is a BIG NO NO - Never import one iPhto library into another one - it does not work and creates a masive mess


to move from iPhoto '09 to '11 on the same system simply backup your iPhoto library and install iPhoto '11


To move from an older system to a new system Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
