Albums and places tab

Hi everyone,
i am just a bit confused as to why my photo app is empty from the bottom.. It does not show the tab bar with albums and places, although the software has been fully updated.
Could someone please help me out?
Thank you

Force quit the app and/or reboot the phone.

When syncing Ipod to itunes some of the albums pull music from other albums and place the songs in an album that doesn't relate or of the same artist. I have reloaded the ipod twice with the same affect. Any ideas??

I appreciate any help on this..very frustrating listening to Led Zep album and another groups song is listed in the album. If I look at the album in itunes all albums look perfectly correct.

I feel your pain! I have the same exact problem. Have you gotten a solution yet?

Faces and Places not showing in photo app on iPad

Before when i first got my iPad I remember seeing the faces and places tabs on the top bar of the photo app but now when I open the app i can only see albums pictures and events. How do I get them back?

So I noticed the same thing you guys are talking about, and it has been driving me crazy. I have a mac mini, with ilife 08. v 7.1.5 i think. I do not have the places and faces in my iphoto. But I do have an android phone that has geotagging. I got photos off my android that were geotagged and put them in an album in iphoto. when I synced that event to my photos on my ipad. the places tab reappeared. The odd thing is, the photos that I originally saw in Places before it vanished are no longer tagged in the map, neither are some other photos that I took with my android that were supposedly geotagged. so no, you do not need only a mac, and no you do not ilife 09 for this to work. I am assuming it will be much easier with ilife 09, but i can life without this feature for $70. FYI. hope it helps

Places tab in Photos disappeared?

I upgraded my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 today, and enjoyed the new Places functionality in the Photos app for a while. But then the tab to switch between Albums and Places disappeared, and I can't seem to figure out how to get it back. Photos is stuck in the "Albums" side of things.
I tried restarting the app, the phone, and doing a hard reset. No avail. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

I'm seeing a similar/related issue on my iPhone 4. When I earlier sync'd my iPhone 3GS (prior to upgrading to an iPhone 4), all of my earlier photos came across as geotagged in Places. However, when I switched to an iPhone 4, I set it up as a new phone (on Apple's recommendation), and none of the geotagging info came across to Places. I go to the Places feature in the Photo app, and the only thing that shows up are the photos I've taken with the new iPhone 4.
However, there's another twist/bug to this: when I take a new photo, it doesn't show up in Places until I shut down my iPhone 4 completely, then restart. After the iPhone comes back up, the newly-taken iPhone 4 photo(s) show up. Older photos still don't show up.
Very frustrating, since this was working on my 3GS, and was an important capability to me.
(Have restored the iPhone thrice, removed/readded photos, confirmed the photos have geotagging metadata in iPhoto, and rebuilt my iPhoto library, and most recently, on Apple's recommendation, switched for a replacement iPhone 4, and still have the same set of issues.) No legacy photos' places showing up on Places app. If I take a new photo with the iPhone 4, only shows up after turning the iPhone 4 off completely, then restarting from scratch as a new phone.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

Good luck.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

Im looking to have my albums in one place and my singles in the other. so when I click my music there should be my albums and my singles

im looking to have my albums in one place and my singles in the other. so when I click my music there should be my albums and my singles. can I do this

As tt2 says, iTunes regards everything as being part of an album. However, you could use playlists or playlist folders to group your library as required ... one possibility would be to use the Grouping field, setting this to "Album" for everything you want to see as an album, and "Single" for singles, and then set up smart playlists that select on the appropriate Grouping value.

I'm trying to order album and I'm getting this message:Your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can proceed with this book.

As far as I can see I have placed pictures on all the pages. I admit that on some pages I could have placed 3 or 4 pictures but I chose to use ony one or two. Could that be the problem?

Yes -

The error seems pretty clear - you must have a photo in evey photo frame in order to place your order - so you must either change the layout (if you only want one photo on a page then use a layout with one photo) or put photos in the spots you have not filled

I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now. First attempt, 5 photos came up missing. Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing. Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events". Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album? What the heck am I supposed to do with that? That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward. I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't. I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos. Weird, just weird.
Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank. I think I know why. In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events. For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind. iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events. Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous. When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos. It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over. LOL.
I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion. Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason? Can't edit geotags. Can't bulk edit meta data. These are pretty basic functions. Total fail.
I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

Bought a new iPad 2 and iTunes only includes Movies and Music tabs at the bottom of the screen, ie no TV Shows. If I search on the Store, say for Homeland I get albums, podcasts, etc everything but the actual TV show. Can anyone help.

Album, events, faces, and places

okay so I restored my phone and still the faces and places feature in the photos isn't showing up. How can I fix this or What do I need to do? do I need to set it up as a new iphone

I was going in through my Photos app. Turns out the problem was that Photos didn't think that any of my photos had geotag info. Which is odd, because only one hour before, it thought that hundreds of them did. (If you have no photos with geotag info, the Places tab doesn't show up.)
I'm guessing that somehow the Photos app corrupted/destroyed/deleted or is simply ignoring the geotag info on my old photos. I don't understand why or how it happened, though. Taking a new photo will cause the Places tab to show up, and that single picture to show up on my Places map as a red pin, whereas only yesterday there were hundreds of pins...

Photos not showing up in "Places" tab in Photos app

Hi everyone,
I recently just imported a bunch of newer pictures from my Aperture library onto my iPhone. The photos show up fine in the Photos app under Photo Library and Albums, but they do not show up in the 'Places" tab. I have all the location information in the photos in my Aperture library.
The weird thing is all the older photos I had on my phone from previous syncs show up in the "Places" tab. Am I missing something to get this info to show up on my phone?
Thanks for your help.

I figured it out if anyone else is having the same issue. I had to manually kill the photo app and it updated the pictures I just added when I re-opened it.

Organizing albums and artwork

Hello.. I'm having trouble organizing my songs which are part of an album in iTunes. In the new grid album view of iTunes 8.0, I have all my songs appearing separately even though they are part of the same album and have the same artwork.
For example, there are 15 songs under Ministry of Sound and each appears as stand alone album containing one song each. It looks very disorganized since there are now 15 albums containing one song when it should be 1 album containing the 15 songs! And this is across my iTunes library and I've tried to drag and drop them into one but its not possible for some vague reason. Can anyone please tell me how to resolve this?
Thank you.

Hi, your MoS album is a compilation. Select all the tracks, press CMD-I to open the Get Info box. On the Info tab enter *Various Artists* as the Album Artist and on the Options tab set Part of a compilation to Yes. You should also set the iTunes Advanced Preference *Group compliations when browsing*.
See below for an extensive list of iTunes organisation issues & workarounds.
*Grouping tracks into albums*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover, append different numbers of spaces for each different album or set different values for the Sort Album.
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
Sadly the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums which causes problems when some tracks list guest artists. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate this is information about the track rather than part of the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading prepositions (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track until I reach disc 1.
With classical music you also need to be wary of alternative representations of artist/composers names. The menus will work best if for each composer you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard performer details or place these into the Description field. (I’d use Comments but iTunes has a habit of writing long hex strings into it for no readily apparent reason).

All my photos on my phone are in one album. Is there a way to create new albums and move some of them?

With photos transferred from your computer, you create the albums or folders on your computer.
If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a parent folder that will store the named folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Place the named folders of photos in this parent folder and select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. The folders of photos inside of the parent folder on your computer's hard drive will be transferred to your iPhone as separate albums. To add an additional album of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync. To remove an album of photos from your iPhone, move the folder of photos outside of the parent folder followed by a sync.
