Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

    you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.

    This is a message you got?
    If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Can't open Photos library, and how to fix it?

    I successfully migrated from iPhoto library to this new Photos Library in April.17th, and everything seems okay except for some minor bugs.
    but from yesterday on, I started Photos and got this message "Can't open Photos Library, try another."
    If I try reading iPhoto or Aperture Library. Photos started migration from iPhoto or Aperture Library process again.
    So, In short, the newly migrated default library can't be read by Photos.
    Recently I did some import from cameras and a newly bought Gopro, and MAYBE A HINT, when I connected Gopro to Mac, Photos automactically opened up its window and tried to import videos but only left me a permanent freezing, so I did forced close to Photos...maybe at that time the library was damaged...
    Please...Is there any method to recover or rebuild the damaged library? I really don't want to re-immigrate from iPhotos library. Do Photos get any build-in fix tools or alike?

    try to backup your photos library and hold down the option and command keys while launching Photos - repair the library

  • Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos.  How to restore al photos on iPhoto?

    Hi, i can't open photo library on my iPhoto. Now lost all my photos.  How to restore all photos on iPhoto on Macbookair?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Can't access photo library after last update

    I have a Macbook Air 13 and am running the most current Maverick (10.9.5) before Yosemite was released.
    I take all updates as they arrive and are listed by AppStore.
    After the last iPhoto update that came about the time Yosemite arrived I can no longer access my photo Library.
    When opening iPhoto it give me a choice to upgrade my library or quit. So I tried to upgrade and after about 30 seconds iPhoto simply goes away.
    I am traveling and can not do the large Yosemite upgrade, in case that is the issue, but need access to my photos.
    When I plug in and sync my iPhone5S  (which is running the latest updates as well) it seems to sync but I have no way to import the photos.
    I am guessing this is related to the last update but have no idea what to do in order to recover.
    iPhoto 9.6 now show incompatible but I don't recall seeing this earlier.
    I am running iTunes 12.0.1 and it can not access the photo settings. It just sits with the busy spinner.

    iPhoto 9.6 only runs on Yosemite.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't find photo library but I can see them in photo editing apps???

    When I go to my photo app on my ipad I can see some photos but not all of them. When I tried to open one of the photo editing apps I have all of my pictures are there. Why can't I see them in the other photo app where they use to be. To my knowledge nothing has been changed on the ipad, I just noticed it one day. Thank you!!

    you do not say which photo app you can only see some of them in.
    if you are looking "Photos" with the rainbow flower icon, then this is only your camera roll, not all of  your photos.  So any new photo you take will appear in your camera roll, and you can upload old photos into your camera roll, but it is not meant to have all your photos there.   Think of it like a roll of film in a camera, you use it for a while, then you take it out and put a new roll in.

  • Understanding/organising photo library/camera roll

    So i'm selling my Mac Pro and had to move everything over to my Macbook... I copied my itunes library to an external drive, and on that same drive I copied all my iphones pics/videos to a folder. I set itunes to use my external as its library, set itunes to sync the pictures with the folder I copied to the drive... hit sync and now i've got "Photo library - 1634, Camera Roll - 1743
    Can I organise this better so I don't have duplicates? The value difference of 100 would be videos i'd imagine...

  • Can't view photo library in iMovie media pane

    My photo library is on an external hard drive. I can open iPhoto and it works. I can't access the pictures through iMovie. I had the same problem with music until I put it back on the computers hard drive. I am very experienced with iMovie/iDVD/iPhoto. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    iMac G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to discussions!
    Is your hard drive formatted correctly? To find out connect the external drive and then launch Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities. Your external drive while show up in Disk Utility's side bar.
    if it isn't Mac OS Extended-Journaled then click the 'Erase tab' at the top.
    Select Mac OS Extended-Journaled formatting from the Volume Format menu.
    Then click the oval Erase button at the lower right. That's all you need to do, except you will probably want to back up first as this will erase your drive.
    If that isn't the problem, try deleting all of your Keywords from the iPhoto library.

  • Can't delete "Photo Library" from iPhone.  Please help

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm trying to delete the "photo library" off my iPhone (as well as all the sub folders it has created). I do not want to have all the images from iPhoto to be on my iPhone as well. When I plug-in my phone, I go to the photo tab in iTunes...un-click the "sync from iPhoto" option at the top...it then asks me if I'd like to remove all the images added via iPhoto to which I answer "remove" but then nothing happens. I've tried re-syncing it, re-starting it (phone, computer and itunes) but nothing happens. The phone is a 3G.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    OK I was able to figure it out. First, I had to check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" box in the photos tab. Second; I had to check, "Selected albums, events and faces and automatically included" Third; I to select "NO EVENTS" from the drop down menu. By selecting *no events* I was able to remove all the photos I did not take with my iPhone.
    Hope this helps someone else too.

  • I reinstalled Iphoto09. Can't open photo library.

    Due to being unable to print because "no themes" were installed on my iphoto program, I followed instructions on here on how
    to reinstall from my ILIFE disk.  After a "successful" reinstall, when I try to open my photo library it tells me I can't becasue
    of changes I made to it with a newer version of Iphoto and that I should use that version.... I've never installed a newer version
    so don't understand why it won't open.  Any suggestions or fixes?

    It may be that the Cattus Thraex response is appropriate for me - certainly my problem sounds almost identical.  I am using Snow Leopard. OS X 10.6.8.  I believe that I started with iPhoto 8.1.4.  I have now, installed, using Software Update, what I believe to be iPhoto 9.2.3.   I can't confirm that, because a command - i   shows that I have iPhoto app - not very specific.  But, when I try to open my 'updated' iPhoto, I get error messages "You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto." and "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library? 

  • Can't access Photo Library First Aid

    Before I start my doubt I already did this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2512?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    But I can't access the photo library first aid. The problem is my iPhoto doesn't let copy photos from library to ie: desktop. And then appears a window with this info: The operation can't be completed because you don't have permission to access some of the items.
    Jeez what is this issue? I put my photos on this software because I trust on Apple products  and now I don't have access to them?
    Following the link I posted, a press the command button as the same time the iphoto dock logo and the Photo Library First Aid doesn't appear lol
    Apple I want a solution for this problem now! All my work is inside of iPhoto library  

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • How can I organise playlist by album?

    Hi everyone,
    To help organise my music in iTunes, I created some smart playlists. However, because I didn't want to see a long list of tracks, I chose to have an 'album' view. So, if I click on my smart playlist called 'Soundtracks', I see all my soundtrack albums - as albums.
    Trouble is, when I sync to i-Pod, if I go to my 'Soundtracks' play list, I just get an alphabetically sorted list of 5,000+ tracks.
    How can I make it so that when I go to a playlist on my i-Pod, I see an album view - like I have it in iTunes - and not just a humungous list of tracks?
    Cheers

    Hi Jeff,
    OK, I could look like a fool here. My 30GB ipod was, I'm sure, 5th generation. Earlier this year I changed to an 80GB one. I assumed it was also 5th gen because it looks almost exactly the same outide. But maybe it's a 'classic' instead. It looks like that on Amazon, anyway. (I may be exposing some ipod ignorance here.) I know my new ipod supports Cover Flow (which my old one didn;t.)
    If my new ipod actually is a 'classic', then how would I do it?
    Cheers

  • Can't drag images into "album" on iWeb gallery

    I use iWeb 08
    I am able to drag individual images to the page but I cannot seem to drag albums, multiple images to the "drag albums here" section. I drag them and there is a green "plus" sign but the page/ "drag albums here" space doesn't accept the images. Am I able to drag albums from Aperture or do the albums have to be from iPhoto?
    Can't figure out what Im doing wrong...

    Hi Boogieon,
    I'm having the same issue!
    I have loads of Albums in iPhoto I wish to add to some Albums templates in an iWeb website.
    I'm trying to drag and album (or individual picture) to the Album frame, I get the green "+" icon and the number of pics, I release it over the Album frame and...nothing, except the icon slides back to the Media browser. It's been driving me mad!
    Gonna keep an eye out on this!
