Creating A New Library Folder or Another Photo Album...

Can anyone explain how I can create another Photo Album on my iPhone to go with the Camera Roll & Photo Library?
I would like to create a Folder that would be specific to certain photographs on the phone so I don't have to look through the entire library.
Thanks In Advance!
David

You don't create the folders on the iPhone. You do that through iTunes and syncing the files.

How do I create a new library in LR5 with photos from LR3 and older computer?

I want to take photos I originally imported with LR3 on an older computer and creat a new library in LR5 on my new computer. I want to throw out all old metadata, folder names and keywords and start from scratch. How would I go about this. My photo library is on an external drive. Thanks.

I guess I hadn't thought about the fact I'd lose my edits. I have just a little experience with LR. I've realized that I did not organize and cateorize my photos in a useful way when I first created the library and want to start over. Perhaps I should just plug my photo drive into my new computer and go through photo by photo resorting them and reentering keywords and folder names. If you have any suggestions on how to best to this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

HT204081 I recently updated i tunes and had previously relocated my library to an external hard drive, on restart I realized that itunes did not update the new location on the external but created a new itunes folder on my regular hard drive. how do I com

I need to know how to fix this. I updated itunes and it created a new itunes folder on my hard drive after I ported all of it to an external for space concerns. It took all my files from that folder and recreated part of it to my hard drive. Now when backing up I have no idea where it is backing up to. Any help appreciated

Sort of. My media was on multiple hard drives, some local, and actually some networked, and then I conolidated it to a single external hard drive. Renaming drives and moving files sounds like a recipe for disaster.
When doing a consolidation, files are copied to a new location and the old ones are left untouched. Does iTunes create a backup database of the file locations before doing a consolidation? I could use the backup if that were the case, since everything still exists in the original locations.
I've recieved my replacement hard drive for the one that crashed and I may be able to copy everything back manually if I knew where it went. I looked inside the iTunes Music Library.xml to see if I could figure out the folder structure, but for some reason they all say they're located in the iTunes folder in My Documents. They're not, of course.
Would the Previous iTunes Library.itl be of any use, or is that for another purpose?

Iphoto can´t find my photos, is creating a new library the only solution?

Ok, I am having a hard time understanding iPhoto and its libaries. There are two parts of my question;
1.
I imported all my photos which I had on an external hard drive. I then changed my mind and copied them to the harddrive, and also kept thm on the external as a backup.
Now iPhoto cant find any of the photos. The thumbnails are there, but every time I doubleclick on an image, an error message appears The volume for “x.jpg” cannot be found.
I have about 14.000 pictures, so to sit and "find photo" one by one would take a very long time...
Is there another way to make iPhoto find all the images again?
2.
I think I found one soulution to this, but Im not sure Im doing it right. What I did was that I downloaded "iPhoto library manager", created a new library, named it "No.2" and imported all the photos again into that library. This seems to be working fine. However, when I click the default library in Finder, it says that it takes up 9 GB of my harddrive. Can I delete this library? Or will it affect iPhoto since it is the default library?
I am completely new to Mac and still stuck in Windows-land. So if anyone can help me with this it is much appreciated!

Hi,
thank you foryou quick reply!
Ok, so nothing will happen to the images if i trash the original library?
Also, i have another question you might have an answer to. When I open the No.2 library (I have imported all the images to here) every time a message appears "6 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported" I click "Yes" every time, but no images are imported and the message appears every time I open iPhoto. Aslo, every time I click Yes, iPhoto creates an album called "recovered Photos 1" "2", "3" etc. What photos does this regard? Can I get rid of this message somehow?

My iPhoto would open with stating the files were damaged. I created a new library, thinking I could just retrieve the old one through the Pictures folder. Now I cannot find the old library.

I fear I may have deleted ALL my photos!!! When opening iPhoto it stated that the photos were damaged. By creating a new photo library, I now cannot find the old photos in the Pictures file. I think I really screwed up!!!

Download and run Find Any File to search for "Library6.iPhoto" on your hard drive. That's a file that is in every iPhoto library. And Find Any File can search inside packages as areas that Spotlight can not.
See if you find more than one of those files. If you do then you can find out where that other library is. If there's only one found click on the Desktop to get to the Finder and use the Go ➙ Go to folder... menu option. Enter in the window /Volumes.
When you created the new library did you get this window where you were to either accept the default name that iPhoto presented or rename the new library?

My laptop (macbook air) asked me which library I wanted to open iphoto with but there were no options of libraries to open it with - I had to create a new library and all of my photos were gone.

My laptop said I was running out of space on my start up disk and then I opened iphoto and it asked which library I wanted to open it with. There were no options available so I had to create a new library for my iphoto. None of my photos were on iphoto when I opened it again. The same thing happened with my photobooth - all of my photos have disappeared.
I tried to do alt + command when opening iphoto but it didn't help, however I found some of my photos in the masters folder I found when I right clicked on the iphoto file.
Please help I have all of my photos from the last 3 years on my iphoto!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what fixes have you tried?
have you found where is your original library is located? Is there both an Old Masters and Masters folder in it?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
how much free space on your boot drive? It's strongly recommended to maintain a minimum of 10-15 GB of free space for optimal system and application performance.

How do I import folders from one library to another? My original library has become to large and I want to split it. There is not enough memory to select all the folders I want to move to create a new library.

I also created a new library and tried file-import but cannot see / access any files in the original aperture library with that command.

If you use the Command to Export Project as New Library, then such a Library can be imported into another Library with the command to Import Library/Project. The first such export as New Library can be the"seed' Library for starting the process.
But the most important point is there is no performance gain from small Libraries where you think one has become too large, if the new Library is to be on the same disk drive as the original. My primary library is 1 TB in size, and works as well as tiny test libraries.

Can i import "all images" into iphoto to create a new library?

somehow about 4000 photos out of 10000 disappeared when I moved to the newest iphoto and attached my external hard drive with the old iphoto library to it and switched between libraries using alt to open it. i was unable to get iphoto to see the missing 4000 even though they were in all images.
i went to all images on the new mac and dragged it into iphoto and created a new library.
it seemed to work but then a few hours later when i looked at my photos they are all just faces!!!!!!!! and in all images the photos are all just faces too.
what on earth is this?

i am trying to understand why so many of my photos in the library seem to be just faces
Because you imported the face thumbnails into iPhoto as noted several times
As My first post explained
All images is just that - a list of all images on your computer - all photos (two or three versions of each in iPhoto), the faces thumbnails, and probably icons and other images that have nothing to do with iPhoto
No bug - simply user error
Yes you can create a new library from the photos in the masters folder
But first try to rebuild the database again - if that does not work this time download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use it's rebuild command and see how it does - that will create a totally new liberary leaving your existing one untouched so you can go back to it if needed

Having created a new library, I can't find the old one in iTunes

I've got a new iPhone 3GS and an old iPod.
I wanted to create a new library for my podcasts only, and move them to the iPhone - while keeping all my music on the iPod.
I used shift-Start iTunes and then started a new library. I Added the Podcasts Folder to the new library. However, only about half of them seemed to copy over. ... and now I can't get back to the original library. Anyone know how I get back to square one so that I can update my old iPod?
Thanks for any help.
Andrew

Ah, many thanks, I think I understand now! I thought the 'library' would be where the files were actually stored, like in a book library, but seems that it's really more like an index.
I deleted the whole darn 'iPhone' folder/library, and it asked me to choose another one, and I found the old iTunes one.
I'm marking this thread as 'answered', thanks again, but it was really just a stepping stone to a greater problem, so I'll now open up another thread on that

I downloaded a picture from Adobe and in doing so created a new library and now cannot find my original library with all my pictures

thanx

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? Where is your library normally located, in the Pictures folder or on an external HD? How and where did you download the photo to? Describe in detail.
Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and see if more than one library is displayed in this window:
If you see your origial library select it and open.
If you don't download and use Find Any File to search for "Library6.iPhoto". That's a file that's unique to iPhoto libraries. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders. If there's a second library on your HD FAF will find it.
When you find it drag it into your Pictures folder.

Why is iTunes 11.1 asking me to create a new library every time I open it?

Every time I open iTunes 11.1 I have to load my library file manually...it does not just open automatically. It asks if I want to create a new library or load a previous library each time I open the application. I fixed permissions on my hard drive but it does not seem to help. Also, Safari is acting strange...when I click on a link in a page it downloads the HTML file instead of opening the new link. Lots of quirky stuff happening! Had to restore my HD last night from Time Machine...still acting weird.

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

I use multiple libraries with itunes - should I create a new library for a 2nd iphone

I use multiple iTunes libraries to manage multiple devices from the same PC. I'm purchasing an iPhone 6 and currently have a library for my iPhone 4. Would I create a new library for this new device? Also, to restore all content to my new phone, Will this restore be done from the existing iPhone 4 library? Is this process documented?

I can't address specific issues regarding iPhones, but in general you can manage multiple iDevices from a single iTunes library. The test approach is to maintain one or more playlists for each iDevice you use, and configure the latter to sync only from the relevant playlists:
This article: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support documents Apple's guidance regarding transferring content from one iOS device to another.

Create a new library out of a huge mess?

I was looking at the iTunes library that my wife has on her PC which is made up of a few hundred tracks all of which she has on her machine & all of which were copied from her CD's & thus don't have any DRM problems associated with them.
Her file is a mess what with artists names spelled incorrectly, tracks from one album sometimes being displayed as coming from 2 different albums etc. I know that it would take a long time to correct all of the errors so I'm looking for an easier way.
What would happen if I were to delete her old library & start a new one then Just tell the program to search for MP3 file only in locations that I nominate or else just do a cut from the same locations & then just paste the tracks into automatically add track to library folder. Would this work, or would I just end up in the same place again? Would doing this cause other problems like loosing cover art etc?Create a new library out of a mess
Any other ideas?

I had the same problem for a few days... really really annoying. I did three things and ONE of them fixed the problem.
1. I created a new event. added video to the event. right clicked on the video and clicked add to timeline. this allowed me to edit and export, but it did not save my project because there was no project.
2. I moved final cut studio to the trash (I did not have 7, I had final cut pro 6)
3. there are THREE places to create a new project. I tried 2 of them a hundred times... but when I tried the third hidden one, it worked.
a. under file... no good
b. the big "create new project button.... nope
c. in the very lower left... there is a picture of a reel of tape... clicked that, and everything worked.
it is actually the "show the project library" button.
Go into the library, right click, and select create new project. NOW A, B, and C all work

Creating a new library for Webpart pages, or wiki pages

We are using sp2013 in O365, on a site collection that is using the publishing feature.
We want to create another library for content pages where we can create either Webpart pages or Enterprise Wiki pages. I can create a new library and add the appropriate content types so that those types of pages are options when creating a new page.
But when I open the library and try to create a page based on the "(Enterprise Wiki Page) Basic Page" page layout (or any other page layout content type that I added to that library), the dialog comes up and shows it will save to the "/pages/"
library (it is shown in the un-editable part of the "URL Name field"), and not in the new library where I initiated the creation request. When I click save, I get a correlation ID error.
Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi ,
I could reproduce this issue in my SharePoint 2013 Online when I created a new document library and add “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type into the library then create a page using this content type.
It seems that publishing pages only can be created in the Pages library. And the SharePoint Publishing Infrastructure can only handle a single Pages library per Web site, it's a physical limitation of the software. If you want to create
multiple Pages libraries, You could create sub webs to do it.
Also, as there is a Correlation ID about this issue, you can use it to check more information about this issue. However, in SharePoint Online, we could not see the log files, they are controlled by Microsoft. I suggest you create a new thread on Office
365, there are some backend engineers who can check the log. You will get better help with SharePoint Online.

Creating a new library

I have a question about creating a new library by holding the shift button and starting iTunes. What exactly does this do?
What I’m hoping will happen is that it will allow me to remap the location of my iTunes music folder without actually creating a new folder of music.
I have a hard drive connected to a router and can access and stream my music wirelessly. I want to sync via a wired connection but my computer recognizes the drive as a Z drive wirelessly and an F drive wired.
If I create a new library by the shift start method can I just set my location for the F drive in the advance setting and use that drive to sync my iPod and then go back to the other library for streaming wirelessly? Without creating a new music file?
I have over 300 gigs of music and basically don’t want a duplicate 300 gig file on my external drive. I just want to be able to setup iTunes so I can select which path I use to get to the same music folder….I think this is done via creating a new library.
Thanks all….I’ve be done a ton of research to sort all this out but this one thing is escaping me.

You can have as many library files as you want and have them point to the same files.
Just make sure the copy when adding to itunes library is turned OFF.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26579
It says itunes 3 and 4 but still works in itunes 8.
Also - when using multiple libraries, the itunes preferences never change. So make sure you have the path for the itunes library set correctly right after you open a different library. I wish apple would have an options to let preferences be different for different library files.
