How to create an Album but not have the photos in the main library

We have some personal pictures of our kids birth and want to create a private folder and place the photos in that folder and then delete them from the main library. So when we show friends etc our photo collection they don't see these private photos.
However when we move photos into our private album they re-appear in the main library!!... how do we get around this?
Thanks for any help!

Steve, it sure is possible.
First gather up all the photos and put them in an album, then Share>export the album to newly created folder on the desktop.
close iPhoto.
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you see a message window.
Choose to create a new library and name the library.
Now import the album on the desktop.
to switch between libraries use the Option key at at launch.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.

    The System DVDs that originally came w/your MBP has the troubleshooting tools.  Suggest that you find them.
    Do you have any 3rd party utility DVDs?  If so, they may work.  DW would be your best choice.  Does wonders.
    You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
    If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource:  International Support Phone #s.

  • How can I create a pdf but not have it open in acrobat afterwards

    I want to be able to create a pdf file but not have it open up in acrobat after it is created.
    I am doing this in an Access application that outputs a report to a pdf and then faxes that pdf to a fax number associated with that report.  It might loop thru several hundred reports so I don't want to have close several hundred pdfs manually, plus I doubt my computer could even handle that many opened pdf files.  Is there someway of configuring acrobat so that it won't open after a pdf is created?
    Thank you
    Ben Tolsky

    Using VBA I open up a report and then use the following code:
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, RptName, acFormatPDF, strFile, 0
    RptName is the name of the report
    strFile is C:\Reports\test.pdf
    It creates the pdf no problem, its just that it opens it up afterwards.  I would like it to not open up the pdf in acrobat because I want to loop thru several hunderd reports and fax them to different numbers.

  • How to u set your alarm clock but not have the phone or txt go off

    Hi, My old phone Blackberry had an alarm. I would set it and then shut the phone off. The phone would turn itself on when the alarm had to go off.
    IPone 4 will not do that. So, how do I set the alarm and not have the phone ring or get text alerts. I cannot figure out how to do this.
    How do you delete pictures that are not on the camera roll there is a garbage can for those but not for other picture. I have double from synching too many times, this is my first Apple and I am not finding it easy to use.
    Thank you

  • How do I delete an email from my iPhone 4S, but not have the email deleted from the actual email account?

    I just got my iPhone 4S and when I delete my email from the phone, they are also deleted from my email account on the computer.  When I had a Blackberry, there was an option to delete from the phone only or delete from both.  Does anyone know if this is possible with the iPhone and if so,m how I do it?  Thanks.

    Not sure what email you are dealing with but when I go into the setting for mail and choose one of my accounts I can go to the Advanced settings for that account and click on "deleted mailbox". Leave the setting for "On My iPhone" to Trash. Under "On the Server" you can change where the messages go. Default is probably set to "Trash". Change it to "Saved" (if that folder is there) or create a new folder in your email client (access it from a computer and see if you can add a folder. Then check setting on your phone to see if the new folder shows. If so, then have the emails go to that folder. I would think this should work the way that you want. Just test it out and see if that works.

  • How to show artists in a compilation album but not split the album?

    Sorry, I wasn't sure which section to submit this question to.
    I have recently downloaded my iTunes music to my iPhone 4s. However, 'compilation' albums ( in my case albums by artists who have a lot of guests on their songs) did not show up under artists. So I unticked the compilation box in the album info. But now when I go to albums, each song with a different guest is in its own album.
    My iPod nano shows the different artisits for compilation albums and the album as a whole. How can I make my iPhone do the same?
    Thank you for any ideas!

    alice286 wrote:
    Thank you so much! Got it sorted!
    Another quick qu - what do I do if I have a compilation with each song having a different artist? Can I show the individual artist whilst keeping them all in the same album?
    Only in the Album view. Artist view will display them separately unless you have Group by Album Artist turned On. I tend to set the Album Artist (not the individual track artist) as "Various" or XYZ Soundtrack or something similar making grouping them a bit easier.

  • How do I keep photos in an album, but not on the camera roll

    I want to remove the photos on my camera roll, but keep them in the albums. Usually people will go through my camera roll, but wont check the albums.... How can I do this, I still want them on my phone.

    You can copy the photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then when you sync, in iTunes go to the Photos tab at the top and select the folder where you have them on your computer and they will sync back to your phone.

  • How do I insert the date to be continuous but not have the current time inserted using the NOW Formula?

    I am using the NOW formula to have the current dated inserted when ever I open my sheet, but I can not figure out how to keep the current time from also being added.

    Thank you, but I tried that.  This cell formating seems to only work when the cell contains only the formula.  I have text included in my formula, so the formating does not allow for it. It reverts to the default and as you see it wont even let you change the date format.

  • How to impdp when I do not have the source tablespace.

    I have a situation where a may not know what a client's source tablespace is. I only know the source schema. What I need to be able to do is import the data into another schema(that's easy with remap_schema). What i need impdp to do is to place the 'new' objects from the export file into the default tablespace of the destination user. I cannot user REMAP_TABLESPACE because i don't know what it is ahead of time, and there may be mutliple tablespaces. I want EVERYTHING to go into the destination user's default tablespace. Does anyone know how to do this.? Here's the pl/sql that I'm currently using:
    DECLARE
    dph NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    dph := dbms_datapump.open(operation => 'IMPORT', job_mode =>'SCHEMA',job_name => 'test15_IMPORT');
    dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => dph,filename => 'test_client_backup.dmp', directory => upper('CLIENT_FILES_DIR'),filetype=>1);
    dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => dph,filename =>'clientimpdp'||to_char(sysdate,'ddmmyyyyHHMMSS')||'.log' ,directory =>upper('CLIENT_FILES_DIR'),filetype=>3);
    dbms_datapump.metadata_filter (handle => dph, name =>'SCHEMA_EXPR',value => 'IN(''TEST_SOURCE_SCHEMA'')');
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_REMAP(dph,'REMAP_SCHEMA',upper('TEST_SOURCE_SCHEMA'),upper('TEST_DEST_SCHEMA'));
    dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => dph,name =>'TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION', value =>'REPLACE');
    DBMS_DATAPUMP.METADATA_FILTER(dph,'EXCLUDE_PATH_EXPR','=''GRANT''');

    --dbms_output.put_line('Error:' || sqlerrm || ' on Job-ID:' || dph);
    END;

    I can't really understand your code. But if, the source tablespace is not available in the target database then the default behaviour is, it will automatically go to the default tablespace of that user. say for ex. you export the data from tablespace TB1 in the source. You try to import them in TB2 (which is the default tablespace for the user in target database) it will be automatically imported to TB2 if there is no TB1 or if the user have no quota on TB1.

  • I preordered an album but not all the songs are showing up. They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

    They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.

    Hey there aussieboss123,
    It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
    Download a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
    If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
    iTunes Store: About pre-orders
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
    If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:

  • Save photos in albums but not in the roll?

    I want to organize my pictures in albums but delleting them from the camara roll... is that posible? if not, does it take more memory from my iphone, bacouse of the double copy???

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly, as you would with any digital camera.
    You can then organize them however you like and sync whatever you like to your iphone
