Entire albums of pics suddenly unreadable.

Over the last month I've been importing JPEG images from my Nikon D200 into iPhoto. I've imported thousands with no problems. Last nite I imported about 100 new ones, did some editing and then something very strange happened. I dismounted the Microdrive that I had imported the images from. I was scrolling through some of the recent photos and noticed that the software was "hanging-up on some. It would just sit and spin and not display the image. I quit iPhoto and rebooted (thinking I'd just done too much ram intensive work and clogged it). When I relaunced iPhoto, 4 of my 8 most recent albums of photos were no longer populated with images. The images are still in the originals and modifieds folders and open fine in Preview. If I try to re-import it, I can a message saying the file is already in the Library folder. I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail cache, data file and all of the options. I did the massive library rebuild over night and the machine was hung in the morning. All of these files were fine yesterday. Many other D200 images of the same file type take before and after are fine. What the **** happened and how can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The reason you got that message is because they were still located within the iPhoto Library folder and iPhoto won't import from there.
What you need to do is to copy those roll folders to the desktop. Then delete those rolls from iPhoto from within iPhoto and import those folders from the desktop. Remember: Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
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.

Disapearing files (entire albums mostly)

I used Itunes 6.0.1 on a PBG4. My iTunes music is stored in root/itunes/itunes music. For some reason, from time to time an album disapears from my hard drive and iTunes can't find it (so I get exclamation marks). Spotlight can't find it either searching by song name or artist or album. this also happens from time to time for only certain songs but most of the time it's either an entire album or an entire artist that disapears.
Any idea?

HT1473 How do I get iTunes to download an entire album in one file versus splitting it into multiple files with the same Album Title?

I have added several CDs to my iTunes files, several Albums were added in the form of multiple files of the same Album title with random songs listed, but not the entire album in one file.
I have tried to reassemble the Album into one file, but could not find a way to do so.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

I want to have each track in an album have individual artwork, but have a different picture for the entire album thumbnail. How can I do this? At the very leasr, how can I choose which picture is the thumbnail, because it just picks one at random?

I have an album that comes with indivisual artwork for each track. I would like to have each track have its own artwork, but still have the entire album have the real album cover. So when I'm looking at the album's section on iTunes or my iPhone I see the album cover, but when I select an indivual track to play from that album I see the individual track artwork. I can't figure out how to do this.

Right-click the track in your iTunes library, Get Info, and open the Artwork tab. You can paste in the artwork for that individual track.

Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

Adding an entire album to a play list in the remote app?

Hi,
When generating a play list in the remote app (on ipad) I can add single tracks. But if I want to add several albums I need to add every single track of each album. Is there a way to add (and remove) an entire album at once?

It's not.
I wanted to add and delet whole albums and to add an entire album to a play list enough of this on song at a time.
Then do it this way.

Why can't I download entire albums from my purchase history is iTunes on my iPAD?

'The New IPAD'I want to download music from. My PURCHASE HISTORY in ITUNES onto my NEW IPAD. I would like to download an entire Christmas ALBUM by various artists! Now it is very tedious going into each of the 83 artists and downloading one song! WHY CAN I NOT DOWNLOAD (OR VIEW) ENTIRE ALBUMS OR EVEN SEARCH ALL MUSIC WHILST IN 'PURCHASE'! It seems like a major design floor from apple and as I have searched the Internet for solutions it seems I may be the only one!!! PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!!! THANKS JJ

If you have Not On This iPad selected at the top middle of the Purchased tab in the iTunes app, then tap on All Songs at the top left of the screen and then tap on 'Songs By Most Recent' at the top right and change it to 'Albums By Name' - does the album that you want to download then appear as an album on the right-hand side of the screen ? If it does then tap on it and will hopefully download the whole album.

I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail. It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding. Any suggestions?

I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail. I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated.

How to add ONE image as artwork for an entire album ?..

How do you add a single image as artwork for an entire album (i.e. without having redundant copies for each individual track).
I already know that iTunes has its own artwork system that allows for this, but this is not helpful if the album art is not in their database.
Thanks in advance.

Furthermore, if iTunes has erroneously downloaded an album cover for you that you want to change, you'll have to highlight the group of songs you wish to change and go to 'info'. Click on the 'album artwork' tab and delete the artwork that's there before adding your own, otherwise iTunes keeps both and only the first one will continue to show as the default.
If you want to download the correct album covers (or a different/cleaner/more accurate version) just go to the Images section of Google, type in the album name and copy the image of what you're looking for. No need to save the image, just copy and paste it. iTunes saves it on its own.

HT203167 I purchased Lady Antebellum's song "Dancing away with my heart"....Showed it could not be downloaded due to an error in the file. I purchased the entire album "We Own the Night" so I could get this one song. Again, it did not download. WTH?

I love the new Lady Antebellum song "Dancing away with my heart." Purchased it, would not download. So, I purchased the entire album "We Own The Night, just to get this song.....It downloaded all the songs except "Dancing away with my heart!"

It is listed on my IPOD and in my list of purchased music, my account was debited, yet the songs are not there. HELP!

Transfer entire album?

I've got a 2gb nano and my music library is larger than that (about 3.5 gb). I've limited my songs to the most popular (4 and 5 star rating) and that works fairly well, but I have a couple of albums that I want the entire album. Is there a way to do this without creating a playlist for each album, or is that the only way to do it?
I tried dragging an album to the ipod, and that didn't work of course.

Thanks, Chris. I will try that. I'm figuring out different ways to use some of the Get Info boxes to select stuff for playlists also. I've used iTunes since it first came out, but now with the new iPod it's changing the way I look at my music! I didn't expect that.

Create iPhoto Slideshow on iPad of Entire Album

I'm on an iPad running ios 7.0.4. Does anyone know how can I create a slideshow in iPhoto of an entire album without having to click on each individual photo? (My album has hundreds of photos..) This Apple Support page describes two ways of creating a slideshow, but they both require clicking on each photo individually: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11976?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Alternatively, if anyone knows of a 3rd-party app that will allow that, I'd love to hear about it.
Thank you,
William

I am trying to create a slideshow on DVD for a
client. His business is a small newspaper. For an
upcoming tradeshow, he wants to have a large display
with a slideshow of each page of the paper scrolling
across the screen, flipping to the next page, etc. I
figured iPhoto would be an excellent tool to do it
without much labor, using the Ken Burns effect to pan
the full length of each page. It works perfectly on
my Mac display and looks great.
Even the exported video looks OK when I preview it in
iDVD.
However, once it goes to DVD, the visual quality is
worthless. I expected serious degradation of text
quality since it is only 720 pixels wide. The text
isn't as sharp, but it is readable.
The big problem is that as it scrolls, it looks like
the the images pass behind a grid of prisms that
refract everything. The disruptive lines are about
1/4 inch apart, so the whole TV screen is a mess,
it's impossible to watch. At first I thought it may
be an issue with the scan rate of the TV, but the
same thing happens when I play the DVD back on my
notebook PC and my Mac.
I set the iDVD preview window and the DVD Player
window side by side and played them together. The
iDVD preview was fine, the DVD player window gives me
a headache.
What can be causing this, and is there any way to
change a setting in iPhoto or iDVD to prevent it?
What resolution are you using for the slides? I have done several DVDs with slide shows as an option (training DVDs) and it's always worked well. I am using PNG and JPEG files with at least 150dpi resolution. I've even used Contrictor to snap screen shots of some PDF files with good results. I am using a 17" screen so again, I'm getting as much resolution as I can before I stick them into the DVD slide show.
