How do I designate a photo as the cover of my album?

Greetings
I am new to computing (see nick). I compile my own albums from single songs off of records and tapes I upload into my iTunes library, then add photos as artwork. I just did a Dylan compilation. I had a certain photo in mind for the cover of the compilation-album. I loaded it first and it showed as the cover on my album viewer. Then I added individual photos as artwork for each song. The photo I wanted to be the cover was replaced with a couple of random photos added to a couple of songs in the collection.
How do I designate a specific photo to be the cover shot on the album I compile?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I did find one jury-rig method for designating album cover art. Place the desired photo in EVERY file on the album, then make sure it appears first in order in EACH of the individual song-file artwork folders - before whatever art is in each folder. iTunes then makes that photo the cover pic on the album.
Is there any better method?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time? Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user. Thank you.

Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

How do I rename a photo in the iphoto folder?

OK, so I know that you can change the name of a photo while in iphoto by simply pressing the "i" button at the bottom left, but that doesn't change the actual name of the file.
And I know that I can do that by going to Share-Export-Use Title and then put it in the same file that the original picture is in.
My question is....if you do that, then you have two of the same pictures in the same folder (one with the name you gave it and one with a name the computer gave it...some IMG_0812.JPG name), so after I've done this, can I delete the original picture with the numbered name so that I only have the picture with the name I gave it to reduce clutter?
Anyone? Anyone? I ask this question because I'm an organized freak and hate when I need to go and attach a photo I need to know when I took the photo (the month and date) and then all I see are numbers for the names.

How do I rename a photo in the iphoto folder?
You don't.
And I know that I can do that by going to Share-Export-Use Title and then put it in the same file that the original picture is in.
That depends on how you "put" the renamed export into the "same file." You can Import it into your iPhoto library. If you use the Finder or a Save dialog to save directly into the iPhoto Library folder then this photo will not be recognized by the database.
...can I delete the original picture with the numbered name so that I only have the picture with the name I gave it to reduce clutter?
If you imported the renamed Export properly, and now see both versions of the photo in the library (within the iPhoto application), then yes, you can place the first version in the iPhoto Trash, then Empty iPhoto Trash. Absolutely do not do any of this from within the Finder.
I'm an organized freak and hate when I need to go and attach a photo I need to know when I took the photo (the month and date) and then all I see are numbers for the names.
Don't root around inside the iPhoto Library folder to find your photos for attachments or uploading.
Why: iPhoto is a database application, not a file browser. You aren't supposed to go inside the iPhoto Library folder at all. See this from the iPhoto Help, under "About using the iPhoto Library":
"IMPORTANT: There is also an "iPhoto Library" folder located in the Pictures folder in your home folder, outside the iPhoto application. If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise touch files or folders within this folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in the iPhoto application.
"The files within this folder should only be manipulated by a customer care representative."
To access your photos, use iPhoto. They are perfectly organized and easy to find, with all of iPhoto's tools at your service. No need to remember the date you took the picture. When you need to upload or attach your photos, select them in iPhoto and do a Share > Export to a Desktop folder. Attach or upload from that folder, then trash it when you are finished.
If you absolutely want to rename your photos it's best to do this before importing into iPhoto. You can use Image Capture (look in your Applications folder) to upload from your camera to a Desktop folder. Use the Finder to preview and rename the files to your liking. Name the folder the way you want the Film Roll to be named in iPhoto. Import the folder into iPhoto, and then delete the one on your Desktop.
But do learn to keep out of the iPhoto Library folder when you are in the Finder. Tampering inside that folder causes much of the damage that I see people coming here to try to repair. Once your photos are inside the iPhoto library, it's best to use iPhoto to do what you want with them.

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?

How can I find a photo from the backup file in my pc?
I have accidentally erased a photo. It happened after the backup.

I am not aware you can extract a single photo or a single app's content from the backup, you can either restore the whole backup to your phone or not restore. If you restore your last backup to your phone then any content that is currently on your phone will be replaced with what was on it at the time that the backup was made - so if you do decide to restore, first copy off any purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, and copy any documents/files that you've udpated on the phone since the backup.

How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet

How do you stack different photos in the editor layers pallet? I can get different photos in the editor, but I cannot figure out how to get different photos into the layers pallet at the same time. Please help!!!!!

Just to clarify, you can never see the layers panel for more than one photo at a time. The suggestions you got will show all the photos, but because they are now combined as layers in one image.
If you want to see more photos in the editor at once, go to the preferences>general and turn on Allow Floating Documents, then go to Window>Images>Float all in windows, then Cascade or Tile.
But you will still only see the layers panel for the image that is active at the moment.

How can I drag a photo to the desktop

How can I drag a photo to the desktop

Assuming you are using iPhoto....
You want to select the event that has the photo in it then click once on the photo so it is highlighted with a yellow ring around it and then click and drag it to the desktop.
If you are finding it difficult to move the file that way you can select the picture in iPhoto and select
File > Export (Command + Shift + E) and select how you want to export it (format) and where you want to put it .
Hopefully this helps you.

In the new Photos app how do you send a photo to the trash?

The old "move to trash" facility in iPhoto is missing from Photos. How do you trash a photo from the library?

It appears that All Photos is fixed at Keep Sorted by Date Added. I have 6450 photos.
But when I open the side bar and do a right click on iPhoto Events where I have 480 albums I get option to sort them by Name

How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud? when I restored it, no camera roll pictures?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

How to display all tagged photos from the whole catalogue?

Hi,
I have been googleling around, but have not found the right information. I am trying to find all my tagged photos of all imported photos, but it would only show the tagged photos from a specific folder when I select that specific folder or from the timeline, in which I already knew that some tagged photos belong in those folders.
My question is...how can I search tagged photos from the whole catalogue without going through the timeline or clicking each folder and subfolder to view them. I would like that the organizer display all tagged items from all my folders and subfolders at once.
Sorry if this has been answered and I was not able to find the right forum or information.
Many thanks in advance!
Dreamy

Thanks a lot!

Welcome to the Apple Community
You can't, if the photos are in photostream you need a compatible device, if they are in a backup, you can only use the backup to restore to a new device.

How do I move my photos from the organizer into the photo bin?

PSE 11 on Mac running Mountain Lion. I managed to import some photos into the Organizer, But how do I get those photos into the Photo bin of the Elements Editor? I actually have opened 3 of the photos with Editor but they don't appear in the photo bin. I am probably missing something pretty obvious but am totally new to PSE 11 - the last version I used was PSE 8 which used the Browser option in which you could just click on the photo you wanted in the browser and it would open it in the Editor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, so I'm feeling really dumb - I can't find where "thumbnails" is in the Organizer. I'm including a screenshot of the way my organizer screen looks - I don't see where an thumbnails option is -- sorry for being so dense - usually this stuff is pretty intuitive to me!
