Can't make empty albums in iPhoto

My mother is having a problem in iphoto, she can't make empty albums. Whenever she tries to make a album, every photo in her library gets in there. It all started when she had to erase the harddrive and had to get everything into an external harddrive. When she put the photos back in iphoto the albums were gone, and all the photos were mixed and in complete chaos. I myself can not really help her because i'm not very into iPhoto and i'm too lazy (at this subject) to search for answers myself (:P) so if anyone knows something about it or had similar experiences, we would really appreciate replies!

Can only make one album in iphoto. Why?

I make a photo album in iphoto. Give it a name and import photos into it. All works great.
I create a second album, give it a new name and save it. I import photos into it and that works great too.
Except now the first album I made is completely gone. So I make a new album, name it and save it, then import different photos into it. That works great.
Now both the first photo albums I made are gone. What the **** is happening? Can you only have one photo album period in ipad iphoto?
That really *****!

Not sure what the problem is. Maybe use the Photo app instead.

Photo books are only available in iPhoto on a Mac, not on the iPad.
You can organize your photos into Journals on the iPad. If you have an iCloud account, you can publish your journal as a webpage and share a link to your journal with others. When you edit your journal, your changes automatically appear on your journal webpage.

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

Can I delete an album in iPhoto?

Can I delte an album from iPhoto?

Yes. It won't delete the photos that are in the album however, only the album.
Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

I am new to Mac and am wondering if I make an Album in iPhoto by moving similar events that have been dated into the album will they just merge or will the events move into the album and keep their date

I am new to the MacBook Pro and am wondering if I make an Album in iPhoto by using events that have titles and dates will I loose the titles and dates??I had hoped to combine my ie. 2010 Trip pictures Grandchildren pictures etc but do not want to lose the dating of them.
What advice does anyone out there have for a program to add text to the pictures. I have been using Paint Shop on my PC but want to switch totally to the MAC
Thank you

1 - iPhoto is a database and there is a learning curve - it is all about photos and nothing about files - under teh help menu ==> iPhoto help watch the movies - that will help get you started more smoothly
2 - there never is a reason to go directly into the iPhoto library - do not do it (inclusing via the all images display in teh finder) - doing so can cause loss of data and photos
3 - preview or a third party editor can add text to photos
4 - events are very basic automatic automatic things and generallly it is best to leave them as buckets of photos and organize via albums and folders - and using keywords, faces and places and smart albums
5 - dates are part of the metadate stored in the EXIF fields of the photo - moving a photo will not affect that (but note that file managers like the finder do not look at the photo metadate - they look at teh file metadate which is seperate

How can i refind an album on iPhoto that i have delete?

how can i refind an album on iPhoto that i have delete?

Look in the iPhoto Trash can
Albums typically are just a collection of photos from the bigger iPhoto Library.
Get out of full screen and look at the sidebar for Trasch can.
If you have more than iPhoto Library, launch iPhoto holding the option key.

How can I make an album from a playlist?

How can I make an album from a playlist in iTunes? I still running Windows XP.

In iTunes an album is any collection of songs with the same Album title and Album Artist, or the same Artist if Album Artist is blank, or marked as part of a compilation.

I can't make my " Faces" in iPhoto open so I can add new ones. I already double clicked

Hi, I can't make the "Faces" in iPhoto open so I can add more faces. I already tried double click. That used to work.

Try this basic fix: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

You can add JPanels to a container in an overlapped fashion, when you switch off the layout manger of the container by:
bigPanel.setLayout(null);then you have to layout the container yourself by calling the
setBounds(x,y,width,height) method on the 3 panels.
But I don't know how to control the z-order of the panels.
I think using JLayeredPane is the better solution.
JLayerdPane definitely works with JPanels.

Can't sync photo albums from iPhoto to iPhone 3GS

Hi, I'm having no problems getting photos off my iphone and currently have an empty camera roll. The problem is, I can't get photo albums to sync from iTunes. I get an 'unknown error (-50) each time.
No problem with syncing a folder, but that's a pain as it's a much more tedious way of doing things.
All software us upto date in iTunes, iPhoto, iPhone and I'm running Leopard on a MacBook.
Driving me mad..
HELP!

Hi - similar problem: cannot sync iphoto events to my new iphone 4. Itunes goes halfway through the process of reformatting the photos, sometimes restarting this process, then tells me everything is synced....but no photos have been moved to my iphone.
Help!

How can I make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video on an iPad 3?

Been trying to find a way to make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video. Is there a way to do this?

You can avoid the Ken Burns effect, but it would be a lot of work:
See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/ipad/2.0/index.html#knac3eec39c6
If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
Adjust the movement of photos with the Ken Burns effect
iMovie applies the Ken Burns effect to the photos you add to your project. With this effect, the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. If there are people in the photo, iMovie uses face detection to keep faces within the viewing area.
You can adjust the Ken Burns effect so that the motion starts and ends on the parts of the image you specify.
In the timeline, tap the photo you want to adjust.The Ken Burns effect controls appear in the lower-right corner of the image in the viewer.
To set the way the photo is framed at the beginning, tap the Start button .
Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
To set the way the photo is framed at the end, tap the End button .
Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
To close the controls, tap the Ken Burns Effect button , or tap outside of the clip.
If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
