Duplicate iphoto album. Photos resorted

Right click an iPhoto album, choose Duplicate
Photos in new album are resorted.
How can I force the duplicate to retain sorting order of original album?
Snow Leopard version of iPhoto did not resort photos in duplicate album.
Workaround is to delete all photos in the duplicate album, and Copy/Paste all the photos from the original.
This retains the sorting order. But what a lot of unnecessary steps!

In Photos you need to show the side bar then right click to arrange your photos.

  • How to find original iPhoto Album photos in Library (by Album content)

    I have run out of Macbook space (OSX 10.7.5) and want to put all my photos on an external hard drive and share them between MacBook and iMac (no cloud please).  I want to do this by "Album" name because that's how they are organized.  I don't get the "events" thing in iPhoto, nor am I interested in the "Faces" stuff.  Just simple file access is all I want. 
    QUESTION 1:  How can I find the original photos after exporting by album?  I want to delete these permanently from the Library -- from my MAC.
    QUESTION 2:  Is there a smarter way to get these photos onto my external drive than using "export?"  And, is there a way to re-size a batch of files as opposed to one by one?  I made all my camera photos the largest size possible, one reason I've run out of disk space.  But to individually re-size would be impossible.
    Note:  I'm in a mess with photos.  Have 20K on MacBook and about 25K on my iMac.  There are 8 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac, created by me in an effort to organize but I didn't know what I was doing and they are a total mess.  My goal is to get them all into this hard drive from both computers then start all over again.  But they need to be by album.  I'm not an "Event" person -- doesn't make sense to me, so I've put all my photos in albums.  When I start over I may not use iPhoto.  Thinking of going back to Windows actually.

    Sorry I'm terrible at explaining and even using my macbook haha. Let me try again. I imported some photos that I wanted to group together into an album. I forgot to create the album before importing a new set of photos which then took the place of the previous ones in the "last import" album. Is there anywhere or any way I can easily find the selection of photos I forgot to put into an album together without having to select them one by one from the "all photos" section? These would be the only pictures in my Photos application that haven't been organized into an album yet if that helps; however, these photos were not taken on the same date.

  • Are iPhoto Album Imports Duplicates of iCloud All Photos

    I have Mac, iPad, iPhone.
    I have thousands of photos in iPhoto in many albums.
    When I turned on iCloud Photo, I was given the option to import from iPhoto which I did.
    I now have thousands of photos in All Photos on my iOS devices. I also have thousands of photos in the iPhoto Events album with the sub-albums inside of there.
    Are All Photos duplicates of my iPhoto albums?
    What if I want Albums to organize photos the way I want to? Can I create albums?
    Trying to sort through all of this, thanks for the help and patience.
    Thanks in advance.

    In iPhoto, you can right-click (or control-click) and select Reveal In Finder. Now you know where the video is.
    If you would rather store it in iMovie than iPhoto, you can open iMovie and FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES and navigate to the movie in iPHoto. You will still have the same movie in iPhoto, so if you don't want it both places, you would have to delete it in iPhoto.
    I am no expert on iPhoto, but MacWorld has posted some recent articles on how to move your iPhoto library to an external drive. [For Example, this one|http://www.macworld.com/article/141216/archiveiPhotolibraries] and [this one|http://www.macworld.com/article/143828/2009/11/referenced_library.html]
    It is generally good practice not to rename or move stuff outside of iMovie once you have started to edit a project. The reason is that a project is a set of instructions that references the real video clips, which are stored in an Event. If you change the name or the path and iMovie does not know about it, all the links in the projects will not work anymore.
    You can change event names within iMovie. And you can move Events or Projects to an external drive from within iMovie.

  • Duplicate Pictures Photo Library and an iPhoto Album

    I was trying to get some photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. I created a folder in iPhoto called "iPhone sync" and copied some pictures there. Then I selected iPhoto and that folder to sync in iTunes. Now I have the same pictures in "Photo Library" and the "iPhone Sync" folder (that I created) on my iPhone Photo Albums. Sorry I'm so dense, but how can I:
    1. Get photos from iPhoto to the iPhone "Photo Library" without creating the new folder in iPhoto with which to sync - so I don't have two albums with the same pictures in them on my iPhone and,
    2. How do I get rid of the "iPhone Sync" folder I created without also deleting the iPhone Photo Album?
    Thank you

    This is normal, which cannot be changed.
    All photos transferred from your computer and iPhoto to your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.
    The photos in the iPhoto album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library - the photos are not duplicated. Just as with iPhoto - all photos in all iPhoto albums are stored in your main iPhoto library. A photo cannot be in an iPhoto album unless the photo is available in your main iPhoto library, and a photo in your main iPhoto library can be in multiple iPhoto albums. The photos in the iPhoto albums are not duplicated - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in your main iPhoto library.
    If you select multiple iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos in all albums are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. This way you can view all photos available in an album only by selecting the album under the Photo Library on your iPhone, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    iTunes is the same. A song cannot be available in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in your iTunes library, and a song in your iTunes library can be available in multiple playlists. Songs in an iTunes playlist are not duplicated. This way you can listen to the songs in a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can listen to all songs in all playlists and/or available in your iTunes library by selecting Music.

  • Is there a way to remove duplicates from all iphoto albums at once rather than one by one

    I have somehow copied many photos and want to clean up my iphoto albums.  does anyone have info if this is possible.

    1.  There are 3rd party programs that do this...I don't know of any free ones.  When I had this problem, I ended up deleting the duplicates, one by one, as I didn't have that many to deal with. 
    2.  However when I asked this same question a long time ago, I was told a really nifty trick (for iPhoto 8).
    First create a folder on the Desktop (I name mine "photos") and Drag/Drop or Copy the photos from the camera or source folder (could be on hard drive) into the Desktop folder named "photos".  Then using iPhoto, import the photos from the Desktop folder.  As it imports, iPhoto checks if the photos are duplicates and gives you choice to import the dupes or not.  This has saved me countless times. 

  • Import photos from CD to iPhoto Album directly

    Hi,
    I am a new Mac user and happy to join the Apple community.
    I have photos that are already organized into folders/subfolders and are stored in CD. Now what I would like to do is to directly import the photos to iPhoto Albums and keep the folder structures and names.
    For example, say that I have 2 root folders(A and B) on the CD and folder A contains A1 and A2, folder B contains B1.
    How do I make iPhoto automatically create Album named A which have A1 and A2 sub Albums when I copy/import the photo from the CD?
    I have read tutorial about importing to last roll then drag drop photos to create new album. However, it will requires lots of work that way since I already have all the photos organized on disk.
    Second question: Is it a good practice to go to Finder and copy the entire file structures into iPhoto library? Is there any tutorial that explains how Mac organize the file structure?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance

    Hi iMac User,
    For your first question of keeping your own folder structure, you might want to check out iPhoto 6.
    The following information can help you with iPhoto 5 and iPhoto 6 if you choose to import photos into iPhoto's database.
    Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
    To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
    Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
    A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
    To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
    Go to File>new album from selection.
    You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
    Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
    Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
    Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
    Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
    Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
    Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
    Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
    Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
    One other way you can import a folder of images and have an Album created for it as the same time it is imported as a roll in the Library view:
    Drag each folder of images into the source column of iPhoto. When you see the plus sign, drop it in the source column.
    An album will be created in the source column, and the roll that the album was created from will be in the library view window.
    Hope this helps!
    answer to second question:
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    File structure of iPhoto 5 Library in the Finder:
    This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
    It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
    File structure of iPhoto Library 6 folder in Finder:
    iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
    As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
    It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
    Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
    When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
    A lot more info that you might need to know:
    --First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
    If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
    --All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
    --You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
    -- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
    You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
    Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
    -- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
    There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
    You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
    cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
    Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
    in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
    (a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
    3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
    You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
    photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
    pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
    Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
    to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
    have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
    Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
    picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
    I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
    Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.

  • Won't sync all the photos in my iPhoto album...

    Hi:
    I had my 2G nano set to sync all 75 pics in one iPhoto album (pics of my kids, and that's the only album I had set to sync). As of this morning, only three of the photos - the most recent three - are on my nano.
    All the most up-to-date iPod software is installed: iTunes 7.4.1; and iPod 1.1.3. I have iPhoto 6.0.6, with Keyword Manager 1.3.1 (build 1154).
    I've reset my nano, but haven't done any of the ohter "r's."
    Many thanks in advance,
    Bill from CT

    Weird. I tried again to sync the photos and I noticed the long, slow process starting all over again. Not too patient anymore with this. So I clicked the button to stop syncing and it skipped something and said "syncing photos". I got excited but was skeptical. After it finished, voila! my photo folders were on my iPhone. So, I guess the answer is with a total sync it doesn't work, but when I tried to cancel a sync it worked. Again...weird.

  • How do I get photos in a specific iPhoto Album into my Photo Stream?

    How do I get photos in a specific iPhoto album into My Photo Stream so that I can use my Apple TV to show them in a slideshow on my TV?

    That is not possible - PhotoStream has no organizational capability - no albums or other organization
    With the correct software versions You can import from PS into an iPhoto event on your Mac either automatically (by setting the iPhoto preference to do that) or manually and then you can add the photos ot an iPhoto album and sync to Apple TV
    what version of iPhoto do you have? Is OS X 10.7.5 correct for your OS?

    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

  • ITunes can't see photos in iPhoto albums

    Hi everybody,
    I've just got my iPad yesterday and I'm loving it.
    Alas, I can't seem to sync my iPhoto albums. They display in iTunes correctly, they all have photos in (in iPhoto) but when I select them to sync across, it states that there are zero photos in the albums.
    Its also the same thing with my iPhone as well. I've the 3G model and can't sync photos to that either.
    Any ideas?
    I've already tried deleting the iPod cache within the iPhoto folder in the hope that it would rebuild itself.
    I've also tried creating a new album, and put photos in, but iTunes can't even see this, despite restarting my computer.
    It seems that iTunes is displaying the albums, but not seeing the photos at all.
    If anybody could help, that would be fantastic.
    Cheers

  • How can I transfer photos in an iphoto album to a usb in the order they are in the album?

    I just got a digital photo frame and want to transfer pictures from an iPhoto album in the order they are in the album. When I try and move them to a usb or card they are rearranged according to the number of the photo. How can I transfer them in the order they should be for an album or slide show?

    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.

  • Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on  you can easily upload each album to the site.
    Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.  Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each  iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .
