All photos Album Versus Photos

I've been reading all the descriptions about the difference between the "Photos" library as we were familiar with in iPhoto and the "All Photos" album that Photos has and I think I understand even if I disagree with the logic. I have a different problem. I took about 35 pictures with my DSLR today and inserted the SD card into my iMac and since I am still using iPhoto, I imported the pictures into iPhoto first and then opened Photos to import them. I went to the Photos library (at the top of the sidebar menu) and the pictures weren't there. I looked in the "All Photos" album and they were there. I also had several scans that I dragged into Photos and they appeared in both Photos and the All Photos album. When I checked the number of items in both the photos and all photos they matched but I looked through Photos and couldn't find the new pictures. They seem to be somehow hidden. What am I missing?

The FAVOURITES and PANOS albums also sort by date and time too. So all the albums sort by time and day except the ALL PHOTOS album! Seems very strange! What's even odder is that the date range listed at the top of the ALL PHOTOS album would suggest that they are sorted by date!
Apple I hope you SORT this out soon

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blur

Suddenly all my albums in Photos are blank. The photos are still in the camera roll but not in the albums. What happened and how do I recover them all? Are they in my icloud? Also the photos are clear as thumprints but when I touch it to zoom are blurry. what gives? They were all completely clear and in the albums when I last used my ipad?? Would doing the "Reset" under General settings do that? When I returned from Europe I reset my ipad to get it in the right time zone etc.

Reboot. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

I uploaded my photos to my computer. I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone. I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.

Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

Why are all jpeg files are being called Photo Album 6 Photo files?

I own a DELL Inspiron 6000 laptop. It was pre-loaded with free trial software. One program was Corel Photo Album 6. I don't use the program and have uninstalled it. Mozilla always names JPEGs "Photo Album 6 Photo" as the file type. It doesn't seem to alter the functionality, but it drives me crazy that I can't fix it. Under Tools>Options>Applications>Content Type it reads "Photo Album 6 Photo (image/jpeg). There is no other "jpeg" listing. Please advise.

You can delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.

Creating a new photo album in PHOTOS

how do i create another photo album in photos? the one that i have right now say PHOTO LIBRARY. that is the one in sync with i-tunes. how do i make another album to organize my photos because hundreds of my photos are all in one folder.

You're welcome.
I have a Mac and use Apple's iPhoto application to import, store, organize and view all digital photos with a layout and organizational structure similar to that used by iTunes. I create and make use of albums with iPhoto to sort photos by category and have access to all photos in each album or not associated with an album by selecting the main iPhoto library. The similar with iTunes is the entire music library and the ability to create and utilize music playlists. All iPhoto albums are made availble to select individually under the photos tab for my iPhone sync preferences or I can transfer all photos imported into iPhoto over the last 12 months or the most recent import only or my entire library of photos.
Long story short, a Mac with iPhoto makes this process extremely easy but to answer your question, you need to create the additional folders or albums inside of this existing folder which contains all photos being transferred to your iPhone.

My photo album " my photo stream" is no longer on my iPad. How can I get it back?

My album "my photo stream" isn't on my iPad. Where did it go. I've checked iCloud settings & photo settings. I have rebooted my iPad as well. All updates are complete.

Hello Phildebeldorado,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are missing the My Photo Stream album on your iPad, then you may have the iCloud Photo Library beta enabled. When you enable this option, it removes the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream albums from your device.

IWeb 09 major bug - losing site - believe it's photo albums and photo pages

I have repeatedly lost my site now 3 times since upgrading.
The problem appears to be when editing photo album pages with a few photo albums on them and then rearranging those albums and pages between sites.
I can't be more specific at this stage, as it's happening relatively randomly, but am curious if others have discovered similar problems.
FWIW I am recovering by using time machine and backups.

I too had major problems with iWeb '09. I was unable even to publish to a local folder without getting an error message "Unknown error" (really, really helpful). I published a site created and maintained by iWeb '08 four times to separate local folders within an hour, not changing the site at all during that period. Only about 90% of the contents were published. Typically what was missing was some photo albums and blogs, although not always the same photo albums.
After some careful poking about in my MobileMe-published site I noticed that some particular pages were not publishing to a local folder. Upon investigation I discovered that some of the photo albums, whilst appearing in the sidebar in iWeb '09, did not appear on the main albums page. It seems that, for whatever reason, iWeb '09 had lost the links to these. I deleted the pages from the sidebar and then turned my attention to Blogs. This was the other area where I noticed that publishing seemed to have a problem.
One of the problems seemed to be that there was a link to a, by now, 'lost' photo album. Editing the link and then re-publishing to a local folder at last cured the problem. I have yet to publish to MobileMe, but at last things are looking good in the 'test' phase.
It seems that, unless your iWeb '08-created site was relatively simple, some editing HAS to be done in iWeb '09 before publishing. I hope that this answers more questions than it poses!

Will photos, albums and photo stream remain after sync

I have created photo albums on iOs5 with selected pictures from photos I imported from my SD card while traveling. Will the photos, photo stream and albums remain intact on my iPad when I sync them to my iMac?

From various sources (doing a google search)
You are having a photo stream folder in your Album because you have enable Photo Stream in iCloud. By default, after you make a picture it will of course be save in your camera roll folder, then because photo stream is enable in iCloud which is also active on your iPhone, your pictures will be send to the iCloud server, and iCloud have the responsibility to share those pictures with all your iDevices which are sharing the same iCloud account with your iPhone, iCloud will find that your iPhone is sharing that iCloud and so will share those new pictures in the iCloud with your iPhone to including other iDevices which sharing your iCloud account. Thus you will see that those pictures already present in your camera roll are appearing in the Photo stream folder.
You will not be able to delete those pictures, it will auto delete from the iCloud after a period of time.
If you do not want to see the photo stream there anymore, then just turn off Photo stream in iCloud and it will go away.
Photo library is the collection of all photos in iPhoto and an album is what you can create to store some of the photos in a library, like a folder stores files.

Looking for a Photo Album or Photo Management Software

Does anyone know of any good software that I could use like a photo album, something like iView Media (which I have) but maybe a little more visually appealing. I'm not looking for anything to host pics online; I just want something that lets me break down my pictures by year...and then sub-folders for each year so I can have all different subjects. I haven't been able to find anything no matter how much I've googled...THANKS!!

Medic2872P:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As TD mentioned you can use iPhoto in the alias mode but you take on some additional responsibilities. When you delete a photo from the iPhoto library you do not delete it from the HD. That must be done manually from the Finder. It can be pretty easy to do that before deleting from iPhoto by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting Show Original in the contextual menu. You'll be taken to the folder where the source file is located where you can delete it manually. Then delete it from iPhoto.
Secondly, you won't be able to add photos to existing source folder and have them imported into iPhoto automatically. So it's best to put each new import in their own folder and import that way. Also you should not rename or move a source file once it's been imported into iPhoto.
If you're interested in checking it out more thoroughly, read Tutorial No. 2.
If do decide on converting to an alias based library and want to preserve your keywords from the library, Tutorial #1 would be of help. You can follow #1 and then move the photos from the Originals sub folders into your other folders in the Pictures folder and replace the old files with the keyworded files. Next remove the old Library folder to the desktop, create a new library and set iPhoto's Advanced preferences to not copy file when importing. Then import your "source" folder into the new library and you're back in business.
But you should remember the caveats I've mentioned. If you're careful you can operate as you'd like.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do I alphabetize my photo albums on Photo?

I'm unable to alphabetize my existing photo "events" in the "Albums" feature of Photos.

Hello nrampala,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's not clear to me what the issue is that you're experiencing, since Photos does not have events. However if you want to simply organize the list of albums in the sidebar alphabetically, then just right click on an album name and ensure "Sort By Name" is checked.

When syncing my iphone it loaded photos from my PC onto my phone and created another photo album called Photo Library and I cant delete them

When I synced my iphone4 it downloaded some photos from my PC onto my phone and created a new album called Photo Library. I cannot delete these photos on my phone. I have tried another sync and made sure that the photo sync box was not ticked. It asked me if I wanted to delete previously downloaded photos off my phone and I said yes but it did not delete them.

I may have misread your post. If you are trying to remove the photos synced from your computer you should be able to do this by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab and syncing. If you did this and the photos are still there then something failed. You might try rechecking Sync Photos, syncing, then uncheck Sync Photos and syncing again to see if it works this time.

HT201317 Photos, albums and photo stream

I have trouble grasping the differences between all of these : Album, Photo Stream, Copies for IPod, camera Roll, and photo library. Where can I find an explanation of what does what? Many photos seem to be there more than once and some can be deleted but not others....

From various sources (doing a google search)
You are having a photo stream folder in your Album because you have enable Photo Stream in iCloud.

Photo albums inside photo albums

Hi
Over the years I have been creating an organised photo library on my PC. What I have is folders which have dates and names of occasions eg '2011-09-12 - Holiday 1'.
Some folders have folders within them ie if it was a two week holiday, pictures from each day are saved in their old sub folders. So using the same folder example as above I would have sub folders like '2011-09-12, '2011-09-13' etc.
This setup is ideal as each sub folder contains hundreds of pics so if they were in one master folder it would take ages to view or find pics. The above setup works well with my PC and other networked devices like my ps3 as they can see the main folders and allow you to also select sub folders. However Apple doesn't seem to like this!!
When I sync my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 to my PC it brings the top level folder/album name over but then throws every pic under this, so no sub folders/albums!! This then gives you the problem of having hundreds of pics to sift through.
Does anyone know if you can create sub folders/albums within folders/albums either on the devices, through iTunes or via another app?
Thanks for your input.

I love Apple products for their performance, simplicity and clean look but they bottle my mind with stupid little things like this. I keep a well organized filing structure and I hate how my albums with sub-folders get jumbled into one album. There's two solotions that I can think of. Take all your sub-folders out and make them primary folders. This wil obviously create a butt load of folders on your phone and disorganize your filing system on your PC. Or, you can have the best of both worlds. Jailbreak your devices! You'll have full control like on a PC. I can now access my files and create subfolders with ease! Just do your homework before attempting this feat and back everything up. After you free your device from it's confines you'll notice increase in battery life and greater performance!
