In iPhoto 11 I have an unwanted album showing under Recent.

When loading photos from an external HDD I appear to have put an album into Recent.  I want to remove it but it will not be dragged into Trash or be deleted by keystrokes.  Help please

It's unlikely to help.
iPhoto is made up of two parts. The Application and the Library. What you're seeing is an issue in the Library, Reinstalling the App is unlikely to make a difference.
If this bothers you terribly:
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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • In IPhoto 11 I have made an album and rearrange the photos in the order I require them. When export the album to allow me to burn them to disk to be viewed in Windows they do not maintain the same order. What am I doing wrong?

    When you sort the Album in iphoto are you sorting manually? Or by date of the photos?
    When you sort in the Finder how are are you sorting?
    Here's one way to do what you're trying to do:
    Create your Album and sort the pics as you want them. Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the Finder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

    Profiles are generally installed by an employer or company to add specific controls on a device - so, there is likely no such control on your device.  Do you think there should be?

  • HT1451 Hi I have a few albums showing on my PC that are in my library and I want to put them onto my iPhone

    Hi
    I have purchased albums that I removed from my iPhone but are still on my desktop and now wish to return them to my iPhone how do I do this I've tried most things Reset Synch ect
    Thanks

    If you use automatic syncing to load your iPod, songs that are on the iPod need to be in your iTunes library.  If you use the manual method to load your iPod (by dragging songs to it in iTunes), the iTunes library is not directly related to what is on the iPod, so you can delete a song from the iTunes library, and it will stay on your iPod.
    That error message is a separate issue.  It means that since the song was added to your iTunes library, its song file (in the iTunes Media folder) has been moved or deleted.  So although the song is still listed in the iTunes library, iTunes no longer knows where its file is located.  If you don't want the song in your iTunes library, you can delete it from the iTunes list.

  • Compilation albums show up as multiple of the same album, how do I remedy this

    I have a compilation album that i recently redownloaded from iTunes. Rather than all the songs by the different artist being in album they are split into about 20 differenet albums each has the 1 or 2 songs that each artist has on it and nothing else. I've gone through and removed the album artist from each song and differnt album and made sure that they are marked as a compilation album but they are still split up. The other compilation albums I have on iTunes are working fine its just this one. Am I missing a step? Any help will be greatly apprciated

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

  • Duplicate albums showing after set-up iTMatch - how do I hide?

    I have a 900 album itunes collection, which is used to play out over a Sonos set-up made up of appox 20% purchased from iTunes and 80% encoded into ALAC format (Apple Lossless).  When I turned on iTunes Match I have a huge number of Albums that are appearing twice in my iTunes library.  There seems to be no discernable differemnce in the Meta-Data on the albums but the "iTunes Match" version is showing at the lower bitrate along side the Lossless version.  How do have only one album showing.  I have to say the published information around this is not great!
    Many Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    How did you get the duplicates? Match does not create duplicates from your library. Your library is scanned and at the end of the process, your tracks will show an iCloud status of Matched, uploaded, purchased or ineligible.
    What is the iCloud status for duplicate tracks. Do any of the tracks have download icon in the cloud column? Do they appear as duplicates on your iOS device?
    Where is your library - on computer or external drive?

  • I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Windows 7

    I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Using Windows 7.

    If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

    Hi mylenebar!
    Here is an article that will help you remove the desired photos from your phone:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project in iphoto. Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    I had ordered a photo book print two years back. I want to reorder the same book again now. However, I have lost the album project/photos from iphoto.
    Is there any way to see my print order history and reorder the same book for print ?

    No.  Apple only keeps the pdf file for a book for 30 days.  Without the library and book project you won't be able to reorder the same book.
    Even though the horse is out of the barn the following tutorial might be of help for future books, i.e. create a new library for each book): iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

  • HT1689 i have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delete   i have connected to my laptop where the album has been deleted but when i sync the ipad with the itunes library the unwanted album is still there and i am unable to delete it.   any suggestions

    I have a music album on my ipad that i cannot delege   i have connected the ipad to my laptop where the album has been deleted from the music library but when i sync the ipad to the music i want the unwanted album still appears on the ipad    any advice welcome   thanks

    Hi rosehooker,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Make sure you are following these steps to delete the music from both your iPad and computer:
    On the iPad:
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    On your computer:
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    You can find the steps above in this article:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

  • HT204364 I'm creating a 'book' from an album in iPhoto.  I have downloaded the latest version.  However, I have selected a certain book i.e. wire bound, 19 page and when I'm creating it, it indicates 33 pages for one, and 42 pages for another.  How can I

    I'm creating a book from an album in iPhoto.  I have downloaded the latest version of iPhoto.  When I choose a book, i.e. wirebound, 19-20 page book, it shows a 42 page book when I am populating the pictures in the book I've selected.  Is that because I have more pictures in the album? 
    In any case, I can't seem to manipulate/choose the number of pages I want.  How can I stick with the 20 page book I want?
    Thanks.

    You can not select the "number of pages" - you select the photos and the page layours and the number of pages comes form that - with Autoflow iPhoto uses random page layouts so the number of pages is rando=m
    You can change layouts to include more photos, move photos to the pages with no empty photos frames and then delete the pages at the end after the photos are used elsewhere

  • How can i refind an album on iPhoto that i have delete?

    how can i refind an album on iPhoto that i have delete?

    Look in the iPhoto Trash can
    Albums typically are just a collection of photos from the bigger iPhoto Library.
    Get out of full screen and look at the sidebar for Trasch can.
    If you have more than iPhoto Library, launch iPhoto holding the option key.

  • I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 7.0, can I print my album in New Zealand or Australia?

    I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 8.0 which is iphoto 09 can I print my album in New Zealand?

    Yes  --  http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing
    but to upgrade you will need to purchase an iLife DVD from ebay or Amazon or other source - older versions of iPhoto are not available from the App Store - either iLife '09 or '11 will work on 10.6.8
    beware that sometimes books (albums are logical organzational elements in iPhoto) sometimes will change with upgrades so you may need to make some changes after upgrading - be sure to carefully preview prior to ordering the book
