Add photo to existing film roll

Hi all,
My question relates to adding photos into an existing film roll. I have some motion jpeg movies taken with my still camera that were not imported to iPhoto when the original folder was imported. Don't remember why unless older versions of iphoto did not import .mov files. Anyhow since these movies relate to the other stills in the roll I would like to add them to the existing roll. Forum search and iphoto help didn't turn up any answer. I suppose I could delete the roll and reimport the entire folder, but was hoping for a simpler solution. Thanks for any help.

Hi Jim,
After the movies are imported:
Command click on each movie and roll you want combined to one roll
Go to File>create film roll
From the iPhoto Help menu:
Creating a customized film roll
To create a film roll:
Click Library in the Source list.
Select the photos you want in your new film roll. Command-click to select non-adjacent photos.
Choose File > Create Film Roll.
Your selected photos will be removed from their current film rolls and moved to the new film roll you create.
After you've created a new film roll, you can name it and change its date. Customizing film rolls is one way to better organize your photo library.

Moving Photos Between Existing Film Rolls

Can I move photos from one existing film roll to another existing fill roll, without creating a new film roll? And if so, how? I think this is a pretty basic question, but if I need to clarify anything please let me know. Any input is greatly appreciated, since I'm trying to organize my iPhoto Library and it's been pretty daunting. Thanks!

Oh man, I should have figured that out myself. I was dragging them just near the other photos, not into the Roll Name. Thanks for the help!

How do I add photos to the camera roll that were not taken on my iPad? I imported photos to my iPad from my camera, and now I want to add them to my camera roll which is sync'ed with Dropbox as a back up mechanism.

How do I add photos to my camera roll that were not taken one my iPad? I have iMported photos from my camera to my iPad. Theses photos are in the imported photo album. I want to move these photos to my camera roll but can't figure out how to this. I want them in my camera roll because that is the album that syncs with Dropbox where I want to backup my photos. Thank you for your help.

Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes. It's much easier to configure and manage than samba. It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
Subsitute my mount points with yours.
For a password-less mount:
ssh-copy-id gav@PI
after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
guest account = gav
; And my share setup:
[rpi]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /mnt
writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @krb
[torrent_dl]
path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
writable = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
read only = No
Hope this helps.

How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

How can I add photos in the Camera roll to My photo stream if they were taken prior to icloud being activated?

You have a couple of options:
Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot. This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
Email the photos one at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll. This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once. Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll. These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream. (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)

How can I change the order of photos in a film roll?

I've scanned in images and then imported them to i-photo and they are not in order on the film roll in i-photo. Does anyone know how I can re-order them within the roll?
Thanks
Ruth

There's only two way to arrange photos in the roll itself while having the rolls visible in the organize window. They are last file created first or last file created last.
You can create an album of that roll and then arrange them manually, by date, by file name. If by date or file name and you want them sorted alphanumerically or chronologically you'll have to make sure the check box, "Place most recent photos at the top" is unchecked in the iPhoto Preferences/Appearances pane.

Manual organisation of photos within library / film rolls

I'm new to the world of apple (3 weeks). One aspect I'm enjoying is getting old negatives put on CD and then importing to iPhoto to store / email / use as desktop. But I can't organise the photos within each roll to re-arrange them in the order they were taken. When I go to "View - Sort by", the "manually" option is not highlighted and hence unusable. I just want to be able to drag and drop photos within the library / roll so they are in logical groups and in chronological order within those groups. There seems to be no guidance under "Help". Am I being stupid?
Any advice welcome.

Hi caliban,
I know exactly what you are talking about! No, you are not stupid.
First, the manual is only for Albums you create.
Rolls cannot be organized manually.
So the first thing you need to do is make your Albums.
To make a roll and album, highlight the title of the roll and go to File>new album from selection.
The album will now be in your source column.
Now that we have the albums, there is still a problem though.
If in your preferences you have "place most recent photos at the top" (which I do) you will have the last taken image in the album first . That is not what I want. (or you)
I want to view the photos in the rolls, albums in chronological order. But, I want the most recent rolls on top. Since we cannot change the rolls, that leaves us the option to change the album photo order.
You can set the album view to manual and drag the images where you want (pain in the ...)
I just saw this hint today, so go check it out.
Sort iPhoto album images by forward date
This is some info, including an applescript, to sort album images in an album in correct chronological order

Aperture will not add photos to existing Facebook Albums

I am currently using Aperture 3.4.5 ..
I have a host of over 50 existing albums on my facebook and I regularly add content to them without any issues what-so-ever, however, two days ago, I tried to add 4 photos to an existing alblum using the normal method of: highlight photos, Share/Facebook, pick the album name from drop down menu, publish. Normally at this stage, at the bottom of the Aperture window, it'd say something like publish or sync with Faceboon ... but not this time.
I then go to check in my Facebook tab under Web, click into the album and found that the photos which I wanted to add are showing a tick on them, suggesting that the photos are already uploaded onto facebook but the photo count does not match, for example, the album had 8 photos in and i tried to add 4 more, .. the photo count still shows 8 but inside the ablum, all 12 photos have ticks onto of them.

What is the source and details of the format of the photo that will not sync?

Iphoto add photo to existing album

all I want to do is add a photo from the library to an existing album. I used to be able to simply drag the selected photo to any album. How do i do this?
Dave

David:
It's still supposed to work that way. Are you able to drag a photo anywhere in iPhoto? If not it may be a problem with the Helvetica font. Check out this Apple KB document: Helvetica required to drag photos in iPhoto.
What some users found to clear it up was to go in and deactivate the Helvetica font and then reactivate it. That seemed to trigger it or iPhoto.
Do you Twango?

Add photo to existing catalog

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, and if you can just link me to the answer, I would appreciate it.
I am using LR3. How can I import additional photos to an existing gallery of images, or can't it be done?
I want to shoot a football game, import them at half time, then go back and import the rest of the game at the end and have them all in the same gallery.
Thanks.

The only issue was having a way to keep all the images together after the game. Sounds like I need to take a closer look at collections.
And here I am arguing that collections is a waste of time in this scenario, as in: extra work, no benefit. You already have kept the photos together by putting them in the same folder.
These depends, at least partially, on maintaining a specific pattern of Folders. i.e., one couldn't just easily use a dated folder system because you could go to two matches in a day.
Collections preclude this, and actually make the DAM easier, so not necessarily a waste of time.
I agree there are many possibilities here, but if the goal is to keep football games distinct, and the user does this via folders (subfolder names football, football2, etc.) then I see no benefit to using collections. I would like the Mort3770 to think about these issues, and to help him avoid unnecessary or redundant or inefficient steps in his workflow. Further, although Mort3770 first mentioned "collections", and we described how to use them, I think he may have been using the term generically, rather than using the term "collections" as a specific Lightroom construct, in which case again his folders may be sufficient.
I also agree with you that I would prefer to use the DAM capabilities of LR (keywords, metadata and collections) rather than folders, as I think LR offers more power and flexibility than folders, but there are many ways to do this.

Add photos over existing audio.

I need to replace some video with still images, while keeping the audio intact. I
know it can be done in iMovie HD (06), but I've imported to 08 and no longer have the source tape. Thank you for any help!

I might be more helpful to explain what your problem is here -- that is what difficulties are you having in either overlaying the video with still images; creating a video of stills and "pinning" the extracted audio to the stills; segmenting the video, adding stills, and then pinning the extracted audio; or some other work flow?

Orphaned photos (whole film rolls) not found

After a pretty bad crash (whole computer hung), forced restart, a lot of applications have lost their preferences and/or other settings files. For example Mail behaved like on its first run, asking me if I wanted to learn about new features, inbox was empty, but fortunately I could restore com.apple.mail.plist and all was fine.
iPhoto was a little bit more difficult though. First it presented me with an entirely empty library, no folders, nothing, just as if I had started iPhoto on a new computer for the first time. I quit iPhoto and restored "com.apple.iphoto.plist", "AlbumData.xml" and "Library6.iPhoto" from a backup. Then I ran iPhoto again... hurray, everything was the way it used to be... last week. But the photos I had imported since then (about 500) were nowhere to be seen.
Then I learned about iPhoto's feature for recovering orphaned photos. I launched with a bunch of modifier keys pressed, got the dialog, and rebuilt everything (thumbs, database, look for orphaned photos,...). Result: the orphaned photos were still missing. I suspect iPhoto will only find orphaned photos in folders (film rolls) it already knows about, not entire orphaned film rolls.
I located the photos in the FInder ("Filmrol 201" through "Filmrol 230") and tried copying them to the iPhoto window, hoping they would be added in. Nope, iPhoto actually complains it cannot add them to the library because... the files are located inside the library folder?!
I tried screwing with the "AlbumData.xml" file to add entries about the missing rolls, but that did not seem to help, and the entried were simply removed on the next run of iPhoto.
The only possibility seems to be moving the photos to a different location, then importing them into iPhoto from there (which actually makes a new copy of every file). Or maybe I will just import one photo to create a new film roll, then move all the other photos into that film roll folder, then let iPhoto look for orphaned photos.
Any other ideas? What would be the best, cleanest and safest way of making these orphans re-appear?
Also, does anyone know what exactly caused the preferences and other files to be corrupted like that in the first place? Just about any app that was open at the time of the crash, has lost its preferences and sometimes other files completely. I've heard of the same problem happening to other people too. It would be really nice if apps like Mail and iPhoto would keep backups of critical files. I am using FileVault, by the way.
Thanks,

Or can iPhoto "know about" a picture but not display it in the library? That doesn't seem to make sense.
It's for when something has gone wrong, but the first condition is that the pic must have been imported.
In your situation, following the restoring to the earlier db file, these pics were not imported, iPhoto did not know about them, they were not orphans.
iPhoto NEVER looks for photos anywhere. It simply reads it's database. If the file isn't in the database, then , as far as iPhoto is concerned, the file doesn't exist. The ONLY way iPhoto can be introduced to iPhoto is by importing it. Simply having files in folders won't work. Period.
At the very least, the description of the checkbox is misleading.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
As for not importing pics that are in the iPhoto Library folder being a "sensible precaution", well, if these are photos that are not currently included in iPhoto's database, I think it should import them (by updating its library file, obviously not by making new duplicates of the files). But I guess I'm just being too logical now
See the link above.
However, if you read this forum you'll see that when issues arise the inexperienced user will try to re-import the iPhoto Library Folder to iPhoto, on the basis that the pics are "lost". If iPhoto did allow this you'd get libraries populated with thumbnails treated as full sized pics, plus, multiple copies of the fullsized pics on a rather common basis. Personally, I think that's sensible.

Will Not Display by Film Roll

I can't figure this out: When I am on the "library" selection, I used
to see a display of all the film rolls, listed separately. Now all I get is a scroll of photos with no indication of what film roll they are on.
How do I set the view so I can view the photos grouped by film rolls?

Hi Bill,
Actually the same thing happened to me under different circumstances.
I was dragging a group of five images to a keyword in the keyword panel.
I dropped them on the keyword and in front of my eyes the library images were shifting. (I have my view set to rolls). When I was done being shocked I discovered all my images were in one roll. This was not acceptable to me as I really like my dated roll organization.
I had recently done a backup so I dragged out the messed up library and dragged my backup into the Pictures folder.
I no longer use that keyword panel for keywords. I use the "get info" pop over window to keyword my images.
I really don't know what your iPhoto Library looks like in the Finder. If you can navigate there and tell me if your images are still in their dated folders, I can tell you what to do from there.
This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
If your images are still in their dated rolls in the Finder, then you can get those rolls back, but will lose Albums, keywords, slideshow...basically everything , but you will get your roll organization back.
You would follow the instructions on Page 2 for the "add to the library" method.

Help moving iPhoto 6 Film Rolls to iPhoto 11

Hi,
So I'm trying to get my new MacBookPro up and running with all my previous iPhoto images. However it's not so simple as I would have hoped... my scenario is as follows:
I have an old MacBookPro (6years old) running iPhoto6 with all my existing photos organised in Film Rolls.
I have a new MacBookPro running iPhoto11, which I would like to move all my photos over to.
I have copied the old 'iPhoto Library' folder onto my new laptop into my Pictures folder, and then opened iPhoto. It converted the iPhoto Library to be compatible with iPhoto 11, but didn't find any new photos. After some searching, I found out that opening with cmd-option gave me a few options. I have tired 'Repair Database' option, and it then found my photos (all) but refused to import about 10k saying they were not compatible (?).
So I now have a large number of my photos in the new version of iPhoto. But I would
(a) like to have all of them imported, and
(b) like to have them imported in albums/rolls or some order (rather than effectively a singular large collection) given that I have about 10 years of photos and numerous rolls from various shoots.
Please can anyone help me? Is there some software that I can use to import the photos from an iPhoto 6 Library into iPhoto 11? I am dismayed that Apple appear to have left me in a complete and utter mess with this!
I simply want to be able to view my photos in iPhoto 11 in an ordered fashion, based on the order I had created in iPhoto 6 using Film Rolls.
Thanks,
Robert

Try this:
1 - copy the iPhoto Library from the old MBP again and place in the Pictures frolder.
2 - download and apply the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.0.
3 - launch iPhoto 11, select the library and let it update it again.

Iphoto film roll change

is there anyway to move photos from one film roll to another to consolidate film rolls. i tried highlighting a photo and dragging it to another film roll but the no other film rolls will highlight to accept it.
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If it was a good idea, iPhoto would probably have the option, but if you want to do it...
Create a folder on the desktop and name it how you want the roll named. Launch iPhoto, open the first roll so you can see its thumbnails; make a block selection and drag the selection to the desktop folder you've just created. Drag the contents of the second roll to the same folder in the same way. Select each of these two roll icons and drag them to the iPhoto trash (but don't empty it yet). Find the folder of pictures on the desktop and drag the folder back into the main iPhoto window.
Once the contents of the folder have been successfully imported, you can drag the folder from the desktop to Mac trash, and you can empty the iPhoto trash.

Can't get rid of the film roll info

Hi. I want to edit and export a photo from iPhoto, but the film roll information is in front of the photo, and I can't get rid of it. I have tried pushing "get info" and the info button in the lower left corner. I don't really understand why anyone at Apple would think it's a useful feature to block your photos with the film roll information. Nothing I can think of makes it go away. Please help me, obviously not a very bright person, figure out what those geniuses thought was an intuitive way to end a very annoying "feature." Thanks.

Do you mean the date?
iPhoto -> Preferences -> uncheck 'Show Scrolling Information'.
