How do I rearrange order of photos inside an iPhoto album?

Is anyone having similar problems? I cannot seem to drag them around to change the order of my photos within the album inside iPhoto.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I can't get this to work either. Very frustrating for something that I purchased. I might as well have just stuck with the photo album that comes with the Ipad. Can't seem to get any help here, especially when you look at the date of the first message. When I "hold" the photo down on the album it never "wobbles". I don't know what people are talking about when they mention a journal. No instructions on that either.
I'm seeing a general trend where if you but any apple software, you are on your own to learn it. Not good.

  • How can I lock the order of photos in my IPhoto albums?

    I have created albums in IPhoto and have arranged the photos in the order I want them.  But when I open IPhoto and click on an album, I often find that some of the photos have moved to different locations.  This is maddening to me!  Is there a way to lock the position of photos in the albums? 

    Thanks, I will send in some feedback.  It seems silly to have a menu option to arrange photos "Manually," then have them move around seemingly on their own.

  • How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    How do I get my existing photo library from iPhoto to Photoshop?

    Hello MWWWB,
    Unlike iPhoto, Photoshop is only an editor. It does not store or organize images. In iPhoto preferences, you can choose Photoshop as an editor. You will then get a choice when you double click on an iPhoto thumbnail to use iPhoto or Photoshop to make edits. But Photoshop does not have a library to store images like iPhoto.
    You may want to use Adobe Bridge or Lightroom to help name and organize your pictures. You can Export your iPhoto Library to a folder and manage the exported images there.
    Personally, I hate the arcane manner iPhoto stores and organizes images. I use it only for photos from my iPhone.

  • How do I get my lost photos back from iPhoto 11

    How do I get my lost photos back for iPhoto 11

    With that amount of information the only possible solution anyone can recommend is to restore from your back up.
    Other than that:
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance.

    How do I transfer pictures from Photo library to iPhoto library?

    You do not export to IPhoto - you export to the desktop and then import from there into iPhoto - then delete form the desktop
    two separate steps
    [1] Export from Photos and [2] import into iPhoto

  • I want to open photos in my iphoto album and use them in Photoshop.

    I tried to open photos in my iphoto album and edit them in Photoshop but cant. Nothing is showing.

    Albums are strictly logical things and only exist in the iPhoto database
    To edit photos in PS you need to set PS as the external editor for iPhoto in the iPhoto preferences - edit the photos and Save it (Not save as) so it will be returned to the iPhoto library and the iPhoto database files updates correctly

  • Setting duration of multiple photos imported from iPhoto albums

    in iMovie 5, i had no problem importing the photos from my iPhoto albums, and adjusting the 'Photo Settings' to what i needed, about 0:05 or 0:06. It seems in iMovie 6, that is no longer possible. Other posts here have mentioned setting of 0:03 or 0:11, but if not, it will default to some other value.
    Anyway, in iMovie 5, i had no problem changing the duration to play each picture to the value i wanted, typically selecting all the photos in the project, and moving the slider bar or entering the exact value i wanted (0:00:05). That's not possible in iMovie 6, as far as i can tell. The only way i've found is to select each photo individually, 'get info', and set the value. The project is thousands of photos from 2 webcams of a building construction, creating a time-lapse video. I'm not about to select each of 25k photos to input a value...
    I've seen the mention of using QuickTime Pro to do something similar. Is that the only option, or is there a way to do this with iMovie6. We only bought iLife '06 to complete the project (and upgraded, including updating all iPhoto albums & iMovie projects to newer versions), as iMovie 5 was not able to handle the large # of photos.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    However, dragging the 5 photos to the clip area, they go back to that same 9:29 default...
    Very strange. Instead of dragging the photos, try clicking the Apply button in the Photo Settings window.
    That probably won't work. Something is causing iMovie to "stick" at 9:29. Drag the duration slider to a time less than 9:29 and import an image. Then save the project. Now do the routine I described earlier. It might start working.
    If still no luck, quit iMovie and trash the iMovie preference file. It's located in your UserName/Library/Preferences folder. It's called "com.apple.iMovie.plist".
    It contains the last Ken Burns settings. Discarding the preference file will force it return to a new default duration setting. One that works, hopefully. Then do the routine I described earlier.
    If it still doesn't work, something is messing up iMovie. Rule out the problems descrbed here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
    Problems "talking" to iPhoto can cause iMovie to fail to locate the image, but it shouldn't affect the duration.

  • 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.

  • How to keep photos in order i have them on Iphoto album when I burn a CD?

    How can I keep my photos in the order I have them on IPHOTO in albums when I burn them to a CD.
    They do not stay in order, but scatter all over the CD.   I number them starting at 1 using no 0 nor double
    numbers.  When I need a double number I use a letter,  like 9f. 
    How can I keep the people's names under the photos when I burn a CD?

    Files on disk have no order - the order is supplied by the viewing program (like the finder) - for example using the finder you can view the same set of files in alpha order, by size, by date created, etc, etc - so all you can do is give the files an atribute that the viewing program can use and tell the viewer what view options to use - you have no control over it
    The most common way to do this is to export photos using the sequential file name option (see the user tip on exporting fro details on the available options) and then have the viewer view in alpha sort

  • Rearranging order of photos

    can you rearrange the order of photos in a collection?

    Thanks. I also realized you need to have the "sort by" in custom order.

  • How do I find my original photo files in Iphoto?

    Well...Thanks Apple for censoring and deleting my previous discussion which DID contain useful and constructive information for many people who are trying to track down their photos in Iphoto.  I didn't realize how strongly censored this forum is.  I guess I shouldn't rant about it, or this will also get deleted.
    Once again, if anyone is trying to find their original picture files, open a Finder window > Places / your user name / Pictures / Iphoto Library ( Left click and select "Show Package Contents" / Originals.
    Also: as an Apple Forum user tip:  Don't be too critical of the Apple products or your post will be deleted.
    Thanks again LarryHN and Terence D for the help.

    Don't use iPhoto.
    iPhoto is a Photo Manager. It's designed to work like, say the AddressBook on your computer. Think of it this way:
    Add all your addresses to the Addressbook. Edit them, group and organise them as you will.
    If you need to access an address then simply use the tools built-in to every app in your Mac to do so - like the email or mail merge features and so on.
    *some where on the HD is all that information, but you wouldn't try and find that file, would you? You'd access the data via the Address Book application or the various hooks written into the Applications that integrate with it.
    Now, repeat swapping out the word 'address' for the word 'Photos'
    Add all your Photos to the iPhoto. Edit them, group and organise them as you will.
    If you need to access an Photo then simply use the tools built-in to every app in your Mac to do so - like the Media browser. These are detailed here:
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

    What you are trying to teach the kids is a file based system. iPhoto is a data based system. If you don't want to teach the kids how to use a data based system then don't use iPhoto.
