How do I setup a NAS photo album in iphoto?

Subject says it all

Apple doesn't support a NAS, check the NAS mfg. to see if they support the version of OS X you have. If you want to move your iphoto library to an external HD you may find iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD useful.
Also please complete your profile, at the very least we need to know what computer you have and what version of OS X you are running on it.

  • I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    I'm out of space on my hard drive. How do I move move entire photo albums from iphoto and save them to an external drive to free up space?

    You do not move the albums - you move the entire iphoto library intake as a single entity
    Make sure your external drive is formatted Ma OS extended (journaled) - then
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • How do i get my iPhone photo albums to iPhoto albums

    i am trying to make albums in my iphoto that look like my photos app on my i phone and i would like to know how to do that

    You can create albums in iPhoto on your Mac by selecting photos and using the command "File > New Album".
    What features exactly from your Photos.app do you want to simulate in iPhoto on your Mac?
    iPhoto on the Mac does not have the "Moments" view with the date and the location.  But the "Events" view will show you the date and the map, when you select an event and click the "info" button.

  • I have made a photo album in iphoto and want it sent to France, how do I do that????

    I have just assembled a photo album on iphoto and when it come to the buying stage I am unable to get it sent to France.  i have done this once before with no problem.  Has Apple stopped sending photos abroad????  Whatever happened to sending to friends and family???
    if anyone knows how I can do this please reply asap.
    thanks

    Hi, I have this problem too, it is SO frustrating and makes me never want to use iPhoto again! I live abroad and want to send a photo album to Canada but my credit card billing address is in the US and apparently shipping and billing addresses must match. I have already spent DAYS and DAYS making the album. There must be another company that allows shipping to Canada with a US credit card. Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • How do I re-arrange the photo albums on my ipad?

    how do I re-arrange the photo albums on my ipad?

    The photos in an album can be arranged in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac and when synced to the iPad. The photos should retain their order.
    It is a different case for albums synced from a PC, the photos are arranged usually in alphabetical order based on the meta data embedded in the photo. To change the order you would need to alter the meta data.

    how do I permanently delete a photo album?

    Hi xanadu711,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Was the photo album created on the iPhone or synced from iTunes?
    If the album was synced using iTunes, follow these instructions to remove it:
    iTunes: Syncing photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    If the photo album was created on the iPhone, follow these instructions on page 73 of the iPhone User Guide to remove it:

  • Supuid Question: How do you make a new Photo Album on iPhone 3g?

    How do you make a new Photo Album on iPhone 3g?
    When I press photos, it just goes to a screen with Camera Roll and no other buttons to press.
    I have read one article that states to click the "Add" button, but I don't see an Add button or a + button.
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for the response.
    So, is there no quick way to put the Camera Roll pictures into an album?
    It seems I have to click on those, send to Mobile Me, then download to my computer and put in the folders I am syncing.
    Not every intuitive at all.
    Thanks again.

  • Lost original photos/albums in iPhoto 2

    Last week the photo albums in iPhoto vanished...when I was able to find them by stumbling around the hard drive they didn't contain original pix--only pointers to the original pix. In addition, I could never track down all of the originals to help put them back into iPhoto and start rebuilding albums.
    Couple of questions:
    1) Some of the original pix were never deleted but I can't find them. Why not?
    2) I recently bought a Lacie drive to serve as a backup. How do I find the pictures on the backup? What folder are they in?

    Ken:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you perform the backup and with what software? Look/search on your external HD for a folder title "iPhoto Library". If you find it that may be your entire library. Open it up and see if it looks like this. Do not move anything around or rename anything (see Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder). If it is your library can copy it back to your Pictures folder, replacing the new, empty library there. Now open iPhoto and you should have your library back.
    If you don't have your library intact you can do a Finder search of your external HD with the following criteria: Name contains .jpg and Size is greater than 50 KB. That will find all full sized image files on your external HD. You can tell where they are by clicking on one in the search results and checking out the path to the file.
    Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

  • Cannot access shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3 on mac

    I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3.  The directions in help tell me to go to iPhoto preferences > photo stream, and check the box next to "select the shared photo stream checkbox".  There is no such option in my version.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

    I cannot access a shared photo album in iPhoto 9.4.3
    Is this a shared photo album from iPhoto on a mobile device or a Shared Photo Stream?
    If a shared Photo Stream you should have this preference pane in iPhoto 9.4.3:
    Check the boxes as shown in this screenshot and then go to the Photo Stream section in iPhoto and see if they appear.

  • I want to compress or zip a photo album in iPhoto to a dvd cd

    i want to compress or zip a photo album in iPhoto to a dvd cd

    Why do you want to zip it? and what exactly is it? If your photos are JPEGs then they are very compressed and zipping is not going to save much if any space - it might increase the size even
    If is is an iPhoto album of photos then open the album in iPhoto and select all - export to a desktop folder (see Exporting From iPhoto for options) and select the folder in the finder and right click - either burn to disk or compress and then burn to disk
    If it is a photo book then
    Before  preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF  - right click on it and either burn to disk or compress and then burn the compressed file to disk
