Adding new photo albums without deleting the old ones

I want to add some new photo albums from "My pictures" but Itunes is telling me that if I do this, it will erase my old pictures. Does anyone know how to get around this?

If the folders you are syncing from are all directly below "My Pictures" then you can sync from more than one by choosing the option of syncing from selected folders. You can't just change from one single folder to the other without erasing the first lot. For example you may choose to sync from My Pictures and inside My Pictures you have folders for different subjects. You can then choose which of those subject folders you want to update to the iPod or you might want to make a folder in there especially for iPod photos. You can drag these folders into an order of your choice inside the selection box. Just note that the folders can only be one level down from the main folder you choose to sync from, they can't be deeper down inside another.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder and sub folders on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Inside this folder create as many other folders as you want (or drag and drop existing ones from other locations on your hard drive)
3 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the appropriate folders you just created. (not necessary if you are using pre-existing folders already containing photos)
4 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
5 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
6 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
7 Choose the radio button "Selected folders"
8 Tick the folders you want to go on the iPod and click Apply
When you go to Photos on your iPod you'll see each of the folders you have chosen in the menu and you can choose whichever one you want to view.

  • Finally got the ipad to sync-however when I try to sync a new pictuce folder , ipad deletes the original ones I put on I pad- how to I download new albums without deleting the old ones

    I finally got he ipad to sycn photos from computer to ipad- however when I try to download a new album- the old one is deleted and replaced on the ipad- how do I avoid this ?

    You can sync multiple folders to the iPad, as long as they are under the same parent folder on your computer so that you can then select and sync them to the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - each folder will get it's own album on the iPad. Not including them in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad (as you've found out).

  • How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

    i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

    Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • Can I use the harddisk that I used for Time Machine on my previous computer on my new computer without deleting the old back-ups?

    Can I use the harddisk that I used for Time Machine on my previous computer on my new computer without deleting the old back-ups?

    Yes.  See:

    My only concern is that you may not have enough free space on the drive.

  • I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this?

    I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.

    The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
    Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
    That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
    See A4 here.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Factory reset.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

  • How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

    I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

    You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:

    or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

  • If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, Will I lose my purchases and data?

    If I create a new Apple ID and I delete the old one, my books, songs, docs and all the data that my old Apple ID contained including my purchased Apps will appear in my new Apple ID and its associated Icloud?
    I want to create a new Apple ID but do not lose my data and purchases, How could I do it?

    Are you entering your Existing Email Address for which you have Access and also are you Entering the Password which Matches Apple Requirement ?
    Enter the Email Address that you already have (like Gmail, Yahoo, MSN, Live, etc) but you have never used it for creating Apple ID before.
    Passwork Requirement is Minimum 8 Characters, Alpha Numeric and Password should Content atleast 1 Upper Case and 1 Lower Case Letter. You will find the more detail on the same page when Creating Apple Id and iTunes will give you Error if the Password you enter does not match their requirement.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • HT1918 I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play.  Any suggestions?

    I have 2 Apple ID's, how do I delete the old one as its interferring with my new account and the music I have already purchased through ITunes does not want to play.  Any suggestions?

    Why would you create a new account?
    All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

  • Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one.  How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

    So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
    If so, you can't.
    You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

    After you change the account settings as I described below hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each purchased with her Apple ID. Press the HOME button when done. Then go to the App Store and buy or download the apps you want.
