How do I copy a photo into a layer?

When I try to copy a photo or a portion of a photo for pasting in to a layer, I get this message: "Could not complete the copy command because no pixels are selected." Now what?

You have to make a selection first.
For selection of an object, let's say a car, use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, and select the car. You should seem "marching ants" surrounding the car - indicating that it is an active selection. Then, go to Edit>copy to place the selected car on the clipboard. Next open the 2nd picture, go toEdit>paste, and position the car with the move tool.
If you want to select something in its entirety, go to Select>all. You will see the "marching ants", then proceed as above.
The pasted item should be on a separate layer. Be sure that the layers palette is open so that you will be able to work on the appropriate, active layer. The message which you reference most likely is due to selecting from an inappropriate layer in your work flow.

IPhoto..How do I copy a photo in one album and paste it into another?

I have IPHOTO 9.5.1 I used to be able to drag and drop but it won't do that anymore.
then something is wrong - drag and drop between albums should work. Itb is working for me without a problem. While viewing an album, select the photos inside that you want to include anither album and drag them to that album in the sidebar of the Source List like this:
Is that, how you have tried it?
If this does not work, repair your iPhoto library.

Help! How do I copy a photo or folder from my PC to my iPad?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

From a PC, how do I store a photo into Photo Stream so that I can access it on iPad?

From a PC, how do I store a photo into Photo Stream so that I can access it on iPad? Like, a Word document can be dropped into iCloud from my PC and it will appear when I open iCloud from my iPad.

From your Windows desktop
From your Windows desktop, drag any photo to the Photo Stream Uploads folder you chose in the iCloud Control Panel.
Note: Photos in Photo Stream appear in the order they were originally taken, not in the order they were added to Photo Stream. If you manually add photos, they appear throughout Photo Stream in the appropriate date order.
For a list of file types that can be added to Photo Stream, go to the Apple Support article Photo Stream FAQ and see “What photo formats does Photo Stream support.”

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S ⌥⌘S.
With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos. If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.
