Creating albums in i photo

When I transfer pictures from photos in my library to albums I have created, why are they in the albums as well as still in the photo library?

iPhoto works on the same principle as iTunes.
Everything is in the LIbrary.
Albums are a subset of the Library, and contain only links to the items in the Library - same as playlists in iTunes.
So, a photo can be in any number of Albums and waste no disk space.

Creating Albums in the Photo App

How do I create albums in the photo app on my iPad if I don't have a Mac or pc to sync to?

With iOS 5+ you should get an Edit button at the top of the Albums screen in the Photos app which lets you create new albums, and you can then copy your photos into those new albums - the photos are only copied or pointed to by those new albums, so if you delete the original photo on your iPad then it is also deleted from all albums that you've copied it into.

I have a I Phone 4...I recently upgraded the sofeware....this allowed me to create albums off my photo roll..How do I deleate the photos off the camera roll without deleating everywhere else?? Anyone??

I have I Phone 4... recently upgraded software.... I can create albums off my camera roll.....The problem is that I cant deleate the photo from the roll without deleating it from everwhere... EX.... albums just created.... FB... and anywhere else that photo might be...HELP..:)

Lets take it by steps.
Do you have access to the phone? Is the phone is locked with a passcode (Usually 4 digit number)?
If you are referring to the Apple ID, it is irrelevant whether the email that was originally used is active or not. You will still use the email "name" as that IS the AppleID/username. If you have forgotten the password, you can reset it here:

How to create Album in iCloud Photos on Mac?

Anyone know how to create an album in iCloud photos on the Mac? It has a section for "My Albums" but I have no clue how to create one. I want to put all photos into named albums instead of just moments. I see how to do it on iPhone but it doesn't sync to the iCloud on Mac to look the same. Let me know what I am missing or not seeing here. Thanks

You cannot yet create albums in the iCloud Photos.app, only in the Photos.app on your mobile iOS 8 devices, or in the Photos.app for Mac that has yet to be released.

Cannot Create Albums: Clicking on Photo in New Album Changes Photo

This is really strange.
When I import photos from a USB device the import seems to work O.K but if I create a new album when I click on any of the photos in the album, the photo is changed to a different photo from my library. This occurs even if I create an album of old photos. iPhoto seems to randomly change photos into other photos when I click on them.
Any ideas?

Sounds like minor database corruption.
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.

I have created albums of my photos on an old laptop that has now died,

when i import the photos on my phone to the new laptop its only importing those in my camera roll, how do i get the photos in my albums off my phone?

Requires third-party software like this:

The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Bear in mind, these photos were reduced in resolution when synced to your phone. There is no way to recover their full resolution.

Creating album of edited photos only.

How do I move just the final edited photo to an album but retain the original and edited versions in the catalogue. ? Every time I try, all the copies move to the album and when I try to remove the unwanted copies from the album it removes all of the particular photo.

Hi Brian and 99jon,
Thanks for you replies.
The albums I will be sending to friends contain between 100 - 120 photos. I was thinking that this is too much to email and was considering copying to CD/flash drive and sending them. I am not into Facebook so cannot upload them to that. I havent tried copying to disc yet but believe, maybe wrongly, that the entire album, including al lmy attempts at editing, will be copied. I will try this later.
99jon, I am using version sets as I thought this was the easiest way to keep the original and edited versions together. What your comment impies is that if I wasnt using version sets but just saved the edited copies with a new file name then I wouldnt have a problem copying the final edited version to the album. I havent tried this either yet and again will try later but this sounds as though it could be quite time consuming in keeping the original and edited versions together in my catalogue.

Albums in iCloud photo library

Can I create albums in iCloud Photo Library that are visib across all my devices?
ALso, can I add photo albums from my PC(not taken on iOS device) to my library?

When I drag albums into the correct order in Photos for Mac, they show up in reverse order on the iOS devices. Thus there seems to be a bug in either iOS 8.3, OS 10.10.3 or iCloud Photo Library.
The browser version of iCloud Photo Library (icloud.com) is currently updating. I am waiting to see which way my albums are sorted there.
There is no promise at all, or documented anywhere, how sorting of library items will sync across the devices. This has been haphazard when syncing iPhoto Libraries - synced faces not sorted, synced events not sorted, etc. So it is at least a step in the right direction, in Photos that the albums are sorted at all.

Trouble synching Photo Album with 1600+ photos and videos

I have a very big album with over 1600 pics and videos. At some point after 1200 or so, I started getting error messages when trying to synch my photos to my computer. I am terrified to loose my pictures and want them on my phone at all times (they represent a video journal of my now year old twins since they were born). Does anyone have any idea of how I can continue to synch them with my computer without having to erase them from my phone?
Thank you!

Photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This is an import process, not a sync process.
With every other digital camera I've used and imported photos and/or video from, I've always deleted the photos and/or video from the digital camera after the import process is complete.
After doing the same with your iPhone, you can transfer selected photos and video back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - creating separate albums by month for example for the 1600 photos and videos. Keeping your iPhone's Camera Roll to a minimum will speed up your iPhone's backup process - which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
With iPhoto on my Mac when importing photos from my iPhone or from any digital camera, Events are created automatically based on the date the photos were taken. An Event is created for all photos captured on a particular day with an option to split a single Event into multiple Events. I can also create albums for select photos with an option to transfer selected iPhoto albums and/or Events to my iPhone keeping photos organized by Event and/or by Album as I prefer on my computer which is also reflected with the Events and/or Albums I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone.

Soory, no, it is not possible. You can only combine multiple copies of the same book into one order.

How do I create a "place" in iPhoto's Places list? Is this possible the way it's possible to create albums? Also, how do I assign a place to a photo or vice versa?

How do I create a "place" in iPhoto's Places list? Is this possible the way it's possible to create albums? Also, how do I assign a place to a photo or vice versa?

Select a Photo in the iPhoto Window and click on the 'i' button lower right. This uncovers the Info Panel, and you can assign a Place there. Search on the name of the place and then move the pin to where you want it. This is all covered in the Help and in the tutorials.
