I have lost all my iPhoto events after upgrading to Photos Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

Go to View -> Show Sidebar. There is an iPhoto Events category that you can maximize to see your previously created events.

Moments are the new Events. All of your events in iPhoto are not Moments in Photo and were also brought over as an album. Open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination and look in the folder titled "iPhoto Events".

There's a way to simulate events in Photos.

When the library was first migrated there was a folder created titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events are represented by an album in the folder.

When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the folder

When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

Thats ridiculous, do you mean to say events will not go into the events menu unless I manually name them and drag them into the events folder. And what happened to "Hidden" photos? My wife has many midwifery photos which are quite intimate and designed for teaching purposes they are now available for all to see.

There are no events any more. They are what is called "Moments". What you see in the sidebar are albums and the album of the iPhoto Events that were created during the conversion.

they are now available for all to see.

Have your wife's account on your Mac (or her own Mac) be limited to only herself.

Or create a separate Photos library for just the midwifery photos and put it in an encrypted Disk Image that needs a password to open.

Or continue using iPhoto for as long as it will run and/or until you can find a suitable replacement for it. iPhoto 9.6.1 will run with 10.10.3.

Other users who had earlier versions of iPhoto have been able to download it by deleting their current iPhoto application, going to the Purchases section of the App Store and downloading 9.6.1.

Golly, I suppose it is because I don't use it much and had no real issues with Photos that I didn't even look so it wasn't until I received your reply that I noticed that iPhoto is still there. Much to the relief of my wife I might add.

So thank you for the information all of which is or will be very useful

I don't even have iPhoto events listed under Albums in my Photos sidebar. Any suggestions?

I found this page helpful in regard to the iCloud changes relating to Photos. Worth a read I think. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/132656-apple-photos-for-mac-is-here-what-is-it-a nd-how-does-it-work

Thank you again, Old Toad. You solve any number of my problems and difficulties with your clear explanations.

I DO NOT have that iPhoto Events showing either when I do the sidebar or take away the sidebar.. I did at one point but now I don't anymore. Is there anyway I can get it back? Mine shows, Photos, Shared, Albums and Projects...

The only way to get them back is to change the extension .migratedphotolibrary on the library that was migrated originally to .photolibrary and convert again with Photos.

I did at one point but now I don't anymore. Is there anyway I can get it back?

Restore your backup from when they were there or migrate again

People have reported this happening after they removed some albums from the iPhoto Events folder - what causes it or why it happens is not at all clear but when you restore them I suggest you not remove albums from that folder - based on reports it seems that there is some bug or strange operation taking place there

This worked for me - seems to be something to do with the folder set up during the upgrade process. On another mac I moved all of the previously iPhoto event 'albums' out of the iPhoto event folder and that seems to have protected them. In that case there were only 20 'albums' whereas on my main library there are 500 so I hope they fix the bug.

I Have exactily The same problem

There's apparently a bug in Photos that if you enable the iCloud Photo Library on your Mac and then on a mobile device the albums get deleted somehow.

I had two iPhoto libraries only migrated one to photos. I have lost all photos after 2011.

can anyone help me I've searched everywhere for them there would be about 30gig of pics?
