Help with organizing Albums

Hey, im not sure if this is possible or not, but its what i want. In my pictures folder, i have organized my own pictures into different folders, for instance, i have Pics with Friends, My Birthday, Family, etc. I also have the Photo Booth folder which is constantly getting new additions each time i use photo booth (i use it alot). Now what i want is to have iPhoto recognize these different folders as different albums, and have them them auto update. If i take pics of my friends, and put them in the friends folder, they will appear in the friends album in iPhoto. Is this possible? Or is there something i can do that will work like this?

Not that I'm aware of. There are a number of iPhoto scripts sites (just Google for them) that might. Also inquire in the Applescript forum.
The only downside to that that I can see is you'll get a lot of rolls with just one or two photos in them. But that should be only a minor problem as you can move them to other rolls as desired.
Be sure to make that request for auto-updating at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more requests the better.
Do you Twango?

  • Help with photo albums Please

    Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

    The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

  • Help with organizing events in iPhoto

    I'd like to create individual, personalized events in my iPhoto but I cannot figure out how to do this. create.  It seems that the events are currently organized by way of when they were downloaded.  I'd like to essentially pick these disorganized events apart and make my own folders.  It's probably a simple fix but I can not seem to figure it out.   

    Are you wanting to create Albums instead? Events are created by options you have set up in your Preferences. You can rename them, but I'm thinking that what you are describing are Albums. If so then this link should help:

  • Need Help with Photo albums in iPhone 4s!!

    Help!  Just synced my new iphone 4s, but now I have three albums in my photos! Not only do I have the "camera roll," I also have "photo library, " and "internal storage."  The internal storage album duplicated all my photos , so now they appear twice!!!  Is this taking up a lot of "space" on my iPhone?  I would love to get rid of the "internal storage" album, but don't know how.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Please, try "Photo Transfer WiFi" or "Sync Photos to Storage" from the App Store. Does it solves your problem?
    I recommend you the second app. It allows you to send all your Camera Roll photos and videos to the desktop in one tap!

  • Can someone help with an album art issue???

    I am using iTunes 9.....this problem was in iTunes 8 too....but anyway....when i get a new album I make a new playlist and put the album in the playlist......and when I click the arrow that pulls out the sidebar to view the album art for the album each song has its own icon for album art.....but I would like the entire playlist to have one icon because they're all off of the same album......how might i manage this??
    heres a link to another forum with pictures of what I'm talking about:
    http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=199060

    I've dealt with that space after a title issue before, but usually with artist names. If the space after the title is different for different tracks, they are not identical, that's why my advice was to change them all at the same time.
    I periodically scroll through my artists and albums in the column browser looking for just that sort of issue, because if they're not identical in itunes, they're going to be separated on my ipod.
    And while I love making convoluted playlist systems myself, I agree with the unsolicited advice on separate playlists for every album. You are going to see slower loading times eventually.

  • Need help with Facebook albums

    Last week I installed iPhoto 09 and uploaded my first album to Facebook - I named this album "2009". I thought I could just add photos from any event to this album, but when I tried to add photos from an event I created today called "Snow" it didn't work. Then I noticed the little icon that looks like a wifi signal was no longer in the title bar of album "2009" under the Facebook panel. Does this mean that album is no longer automatically updating to Facebook? Is there a way I can fix this? Is there a time limit on how long the albums stay dynamic?
    I hope this question is clear; thanks in advance for any help!

    Might be worth trying one more time after doing the following. Use the menu item Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab and tap Reset cache, then delete any files inside the ...<Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download\ folder (or ...\<Media Folder>\Download\ if your media folder is at a non-standard location)
    If things still don't work out open the menu item Store > View My Account, in the Purchase History section tap the link that says See All, then tap the little arrow to the left of the purchase that includes the problem items, tap the Report a Problem button, and then the Report a Problem link for an actual item that won't work properly. Fill in the details and await a reply.

  • Help with photo album

    I'm creating a site for my baby with DW 8. I've created a
    photo album, but I cant get the same background as the other pages.
    What would be an easy way to have all pages including the album
    looking the same. Thank you.

    Create a css file with all of your page and text information,
    then attach it
    to every page.
    Then you can edit the css file only and change the background
    color of every
    page at the ssame time, or the text color, size, etc. and
    much, much more.

  • Help with purchasing album twice.

    Excuse me, I was wondering if there was any way at all I could get a refund for one of the albums I purchased. I actually recently bought Doo- Wops and Hooligans by Bruno Mars from my iPad, and mindlessly assumed that I could get the album on my iPod (3rd Gen) without syncing. Hence, I accidentally bought the album TWICE by accident, is there anything I can do?

    You can't gift an already purchased item. Purchases are permentently lnked t the iTunes account that pruchased them.

  • Help with organizing my library

    I have just imported MANY MP3 radio shows and most of them either show no title/genre or the wrong ones. I have found many places that tell me how to edit each track individually, but what I'd like to do is to select all of them and change them globally. E.G., in Excel, you can type in info in one cell and then drag it down the column to copy the info into all of the other cells you select. Is there a way to do this in iTunes?
    I am using whatever the current release of iTunes for WinXP Pro happens to be, with an 80gb video iPod.
    TIA.

    I feel like a real dummy now. I saw that option and didn't try it because I thought it meant it would try to "get info" online, which it couldn't do in the first place. As my son used to say when he was lots younger, "Dummy me!"
    Thanks!

    Crosby,
    Connect the iPod and wait for it to appear in iTunes. Go to edit-->preferences when it appears and hit the iPod tab. Check update album art. If it is checked, uncheck it, hit okay, and go back and recheck it.

    Digital booklet? Do you mean the "Album Cover"... the only way you will see that is by tilting your iPhone "horizontally".. That will show you "Cover Flow"!

  • Iphoto and organizing albums...

    I'm slowly learning iphoto and I'm having a hard time with organizing albums/folders.  I like to organize my pictures by using albums/folders like in windows.  I've created albums/folders and I'm taking the photos from events and putting them into these newly named albums/folders.  The problem is that when I go to move them around to organize by my preference, I can't drop and drag without the album/folder going into another album/folder.  It does allow me to drop to the bottom, but it goes into the last album/folder and then I have to move it out of that.  It's very cumbersome and there has to be an easier way, I'm making due, but I'm doing things that are very confusing and time consuming. 

    Folder drag and drop the same way as albums do. Movie Test Folder 1 to between the other two folders:
    Select, drag and drop
    to give you this:
    One just needs to be sure the cursor is at the far left before releasing.

  • Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

    Hi everyone,
    I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
    I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
    Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen,
    Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
    Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
    The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
    You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
    When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
    Have fun.
