Adding pictures to albums in Ovi Share

I have over one hundred pictures that I would like to add to an album in Ovi Share. Is there a way to select more than one picture at a time to add to an album? Going one by one is impractical as you need to select then confirm etc. It would be absolutely ridiculous if there wasn't a way to select more than one at a time.
Can someone tell me how this is done?
Thanks

I would also like to know how to do this.. just uploaded 20+ pictures, and spent way too much time clicking each to add to album..

Iphoto--Adding Pictures to album

I have tried to add additional photos from the library to an existing album. But the images will not transfer. What am I doing wrong?

Casey,
Is it a Smart Album (purple icon with a gear)? You can't drag to a smart album; the photos must meet the conditions defined by the album.
If a photo is already in the album it will bounce back when you try to add it again.
If not, what happens when you drag the photos to the album?

Another Ovi Share first-glance user experience

Excited from the Nokia World presentations I decided to give Ovi Share a try. Previously I've been using Picasa and some local photo sharing services such as kuvaboxi.fi - that is to say that I had some baseline to judge Ovi share against.
First challenge was getting into ovi.com. Due to some cookie issue in Firefox I just got some java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to log in. Of course the error message was total gibberish and, interestingly, I noticed that there is no way to report such bug from the Ovi frontpage. Yes, you have the FAQ, but no info what-so-ever how and who to connect in case of login errors. Persistent as I was wanting to experience Ovi share I did login with IE, was able to send bug report and finally get the thing fixed - pheww...
At first look, Ovi Share looked ok. If only it had functioned ok... Creating an album in the web is easy, and so is adding photos - great! Made few albums and that's when the drawbacks (showstoppers one might say) started occuring to me...
1. There's no way to create sub-folders! Are you real?!! So I can't make album 2009 and then sub-album Event XX? Uh, this front page will become ugly and confusing to use in a short while if I continue uploading my precious photos to these folders.
2. I can't edit photos in groups. So there I am uploading 50 photos from my laptop and I can't even tag them collectively or move them between folders without going through the photos one by one. wt*? please excuse me my French... I really got frustrated after like 3 photos. And I couldn't even delete them in groups to re-start from the beginning and upload the photos directly to correct albums. argh!
3. Tags, oh this one's great! As in bullet above, I can't tag the photos in groups - already a real pain in the bottom. It's done quite handy when uploading from my mobile device, though. But then in Ovi Share, why on earth can I not filter / search the photos based on tags? To use the tag search, I have to browse my way through to a photo which as been tagged with the particular tag and only there I can click the tag to search photos with similar tags. And what d oI get when doing this? --> No items found. Again wt*? I just clicked a photo with that tag!!
4. Uploading photos from my device. Overall, this works great in my phone. That is if I'm uploading to an album that already exists. No way to create a new album while doing it directly from photo browser application. Well, what the heck, let's just dump them to the default "root" album and sort them to right album in Ovi Share. ok, done. all items show nice in All Media. I create new album, start moving pictures one-by-one (well, I'd do it in groups but that's not available!). Doesn't take too long to notice that in All Media you can't see actually see where the images are stored. So there I am sorting 50 pictures taken & uploaded, and the only way to know which images I've already moved is to move between All Media and my album and make a manual verification. another wt*?!! I would spend two hours or so sorting 50 pictures and still end up with pics missing from albums.
5. Viewing the images. How come I can only watch these in full-screen by starting a slide show or downloading the pics back to my hard drive? And what if I wan't to zoom in on some detail? To tell you the truth the experience of viewing photos is so bad that I wouldn't use Ovi Share to, for example, share images related to ebay auctions. Any potential buyer would probably just walk off immediately.
I haven't even dared to try the Ovi Suite on laptop if that makes things any easier. Ovi Share, as it is now is totally unusable. How bad can a first glance user experience be? Well, Ovi Share just set new standards for me

I completely concur. I've just spent the last two days tryng to force both Ovi for PC and Ovi Share to do what could be fantastic.... but it's not, it's **bleep**. I've gone back to PC Suite on the PC and am just about to give up on Ovi Share.
Here's my main gripes with Ovi Share
Ovi Share has the potential to be a great site but....
Uploading via the "World" share online symbol within photos is fast but....
You can't even choose an existing album - it always select the first one
Tags aren't created
The date of the photo doesn't go through - it uses the date uploaded as the date created
The description doesn't get uploaded
You can't move or delete multiple files when they are uploaded
There's more as you said in your post but it's really disappointing. By the way, if I've got any of these wrong and there's a fix please let me know.

Pics can't post to web Ovi share

My E71 has stopped allowing me to post any pictures to the web using Ovi Share. Every time I try to upload a pic I get a message saying - One or more media items discarded because service provider does not support them.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Got a solution for this!!
I browsed to Ovi Share website with my mobile. The page told me that my mobile is not supported (I have a Nokia E66-1) so I forced download it by choosing Nokia N95.
Then it downloaded, installed and WORKS!!!!
I'm not sure if downloading like N95 will work on E71 but give a try.

How do I move pictures within Albums?

I have an IPAD Air with iOS8.1 installed. Why, when I added pictures did some of them get out of order? How do I move pictures within Albums?

To rearrange photos in an album:
Open the album.
Touch "Select"
Touch and hold on a photo and drag it to the desired location.

Adding picture to mp3 files in iTunes Bugs found!

There is a bug when you adding picture to lots of music in an album. Which you when you finish adding the picture, some of them changed the picture...but there are some not changed. Those not changed picture mp3 files are all bugged, the bug is which your music will be repeating at the first few sec. Its kinda annoying! Need to delete the whole mp3 file away...
Please help to contact Apple about this bugs and fix it quickly! Thank you.

I was having the same issue with a few (not all) .m4k files on a NAS -- in my case the problem was something with file attributes/permissions (I'm using Windows 7).
ITunes could not change the actual file (rename/move to keep organized, add artwork, etc), though Windows would update the file date when I did attempt these things. Permissions seemed fine for the files, but the fix was to simply change an attribute and hit 'Apply' from the file properties window (right click file in File Explorer...Properties).
Specifically, most of my files had the Archive attribute checked, which I just unchecked and hit Apply. The issue wasn't the setting since all of my files have this attribute set and most can be edited by Itunes, but by changing the attribute, it fixed whatever weird issue there was with iTunes altering the file.

How do i view all photos on ipad that haven't been added to an album yet?

I have over a thousand pictures on my iPad. I want to sort them into albums. But I am running into difficulties.
(1) After adding a bunch of images to various albums, I am sure I missed a few. Is there a way to just see ONLY those pictures that have NOT yet been added to any album? Can this be done in Photos app, or do I have to buy iPhoto or something else?
(2) Is there any app that can overlay on top of each image thumbnail a set of icons where each overlaid icon represents one of the albums that the photo is currently in?
Thanks.

No... the whole point of my question is that I want to organize my photos on my iPad prior to putting them on my computer. I have a lot of "dead time" on the bus/train/plane where using iPad for this would be ideal. I find it shocking that it lacks this basic capability in the built-in software.
Surely there must be an app which can access the images I've already imported to iPad using the Camera Connection Kit, and allow me to sort them out into folders or albums. Photos app already does most of what I'd like it to do, but it does not let you filter images by which albums they don't belong to. I.e. you can't see which images aren't sorted into at least one album yet. Photos app also lacks metadata viewing/filtering/tagging/rating. Heck even my PS3 can show metadata...!
I am constantly mystified at Apple's lack of what I would consider pretty basic features. There are some ideas, like the classic Mac GUI file/folder desktop analogy, that to me are timeless. I have yet to see the benefit or advantage to iOS's crippling lack of the ability to work with files in a logical or direct way. I do understand how letting the app itself organize its own documents into directories itself helps it keep track of files for the purposes of using CoreData to create more informative views and organizational structures. However in Unix there are abundant ways to have this cake and eat it too -- you can do what TimeMachine does, which is to create hard links to files, so any given file can simultaneously exist in multiple different folders without necessitating duplicated data. Why can't Photos app therefore let me organize my files into folders the way I want to, in a standard, Mac-like way, without disrupting its own DB, simply by usig hard links or symbolic links, or something like this? Why not have file system layer that refers to each file by a UUID instead of by a directory path?
I am so tired of the gimped file system of iOS. First they said it was for security on iPhone. But then when iPad came out and it was the same way, then the excuse changes to, "People just like it better this way, and so should you." Wait, so 1984-2007 didn't happen...? You can't suddenly act like the Macintosh desktop analogy is suddenly an irrelevant bad idea. Just because people suffer through the lameness that is iTunes File Sharing, doesn't mean they universally would like it better if they could just access their files right in the Finder instead of through a kludge-funnel.

Managing media on Ovi Share

Does anyone know if there's any possible way to work with multiple files in Ovi Share? Somehow a large upload I did ended up in there four or five times, so four copies each of roughly 40 pictures. It would be ridiculous to try and clean it up one-by-one, but I can't find any other way to manage the files. Any ideas, am I missing something on the site, are there any applications to manage Ovi Share, etc?

Wish I had an answer for you - but I had the same issue - had to delete a bunch of files - had to do it one by one.
And now, you can only upload files one by one.
Not very user friendly....

I am using iPhoto 2009. If I empty the trash bin, will it delete those pictures from albums I have created? I noticed some of the pictures appear to be the same in both the trash and album.

I have a lot of photos in my trash bin and was thinking about emptying the trash. However, I got a message that said that if emptied, I would not be able to recover them. I chickened out. I looked at several pictures in the trash and noticed that they were the same pictures in albums that I had created. I compared the numbers shown on those pictures in the trash and found that they were the same as the numbers shown in on the pictures in the albums that I had created. I would like to delete the pictures to create more space, but I don't want to lose pictures that I can't replace.

yes - albums are not copies or places - they are pointers in the databae pointing to the photo in the library - you can see it in an album, under photos or under events - but it is all the same photo - if you delete it it is gone everyplace - and no additiponal space is used for an album (or many albums - a photo can be in many albums without using any additional space
Only put photos that you do not want to keep in the trash
How much free space do you have on the disk volume that the iPhoto library is on?

HT1304 I have an iphone5 and i did the upgrade. Now all of the music videos that I have purchased on itunes do not show up when the phone is held horizontally. It is just a picture of album covers. Any thoughts?

Hi tat33,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
You can remove photos, etc. from your iPhone by following these directions in reverse

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!

I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto. It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!! I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading to Maverick.

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How to resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?

How can i resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?
iTunes on my old PowerMac G5: there is a slider to resize album arts.
iTunes on my Win7 PC: where is the slider to resize album arts???

In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

What happened to ability to upload to ovi share fr...

as the subject says?
Recently got the m8. And on my older 5800 (piece of garbage) i was able to upload my photo to my ovi share account right after i took it, or from the gallery. And i was able to create new upload content to flickr and ovi share from an application called share that was a Rom application on most my previous symbian phones back to n95.
What happened to share application? The social app is a joke. Only has ability to use twitter and facebook, and very poorly to i might add. Why can't we make flickr and ovi profiles like we used to? Or better still, where the hell is the ovi share app gone? :mad:
i dont want to post my photos on facebook or twitter, I've been using ovi share to store all my photos and some video's and lots of ringtones since it started.
I need the ovi share app back. I need to be able to upload my photo to my ovi share account when i take it or from my gallery, not facebook or twitter,
used to be so great. Simple photo storage with one click. Even used to upload in the background so you can carry on taking photos.
This n8 dissapoints more and more every day. Nokia are failing. Nokia are getting owned by a company that don't know anything at all about phones. I talk of apple of course with there iphone. Apple created a flawless facebook app. And a flawless youtube app. And even an incredibly fast flawless web browser based on the exact same source code as Nokia very poor attempt on m8. Safari web kit i talk about. What the hell is up with that? Nokia been in the mobile phone industry since the start. Dam they made them as popular as they are today. But now they have sold out and getting whiped by apple.
Anyway. Give me ovi share application for n8 please to start with. Then try and make a youtube app on par with the iphone's. Then try making facebook app that is as good or better than iphone. And most important thing of all, make a web browser that people can use. This n8 browser is exactly same as one on my 5800. Only the 5800 version worked. So many bad things on n8. Hope they are working on those things I've mentioned or i could be cutting my sim card down to size to use in my iphone4 permanatly.

Nothing happened to File Sharing but the appearance of iTunes has changed. It confused me at first also. Here's how to do it.
Are you looking in the right place to find the shared files on your Mac?
First thing you need to do is on your iPad. Share the files you want to transfer by selecting Share > iTunes.
Start iTunes on your Mac. Is it iTunes 11? If so use the View menu in iTunes to select View Sidebar.
Then connect your iPad to your Mac.
Select your iPad in the left sidebar.
Select Apps in the row of tabs in the right window of iTunes.
Scroll down under Apps to the File Sharing section. It is below the complete list of apps.
You should see a list of the shared files or a folder that contains the files. Use the Copy To... Button ( if there is one ) to copy the shared files to your Mac.
The problem I had originally was the scrolling. There are two windows of apps. Each window can scroll within its own window. So scrolling n the tp window of apps will get you to the bottom of that window but not down to the next section which is the file sharing area. Scroll by using the outer most scroll bar if you have one or if in Mountain Lion place the cursor near the left edge of the apps area to scroll to the lower File Sharing area.
