How to import as an album?

Hi all!
I am new in this forum and also new Aperture user. I am importing my photos to Aperture library and everything is going smoothly. One question though, is it possible to import pics from card reader straight as an album into Aperture library? At the moment I have date hierarchy and all imports are as albums (these are imported for hard disk as projects). But is it possible to import into one particular folder as an album? Or how should I do this? Thanks for any advice!
Best wishes,
Jonne

You can import directly to an album, as long as this is inside a project, which would be the actual container of the images. Albums contain only links to the images.
Simply point to the album at the time of importing and all those images will show inside that album.

    How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

    You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    Here is one such utility.

  • Importing Library and albums from an other computer

    Hello everyone,
    I just bought a new iMac and I am trying to import all my pictures from my old Powerbook.
    What I did is to copy the old "iPhoto Library" (of the old computer) into the "Pictures" directory of the new computer.
    This works fine, iPhoto updates the format of the iPhoto Library (I had an older version of iPhoto on the old computer) and all the pictures are there.
    However, ALL THE ALBUM STRUCTURE that I created over numerous years IS COMPLETELY LOST.
    The pictures are just all together in the library, so I should manually create all the albums again. That is a pain, it's more than 5,000 pictures.
    Anyone knows how to import all the album structure from the old computer?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Guido

    What you are describing is the correct procedure - just to verify you are dragging the iPhoto library as a single entity from the old computer to the new computer aren't you? That should work fine and converting from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto '09 is not a problem that I have seen reported (I have never done it) - your converted library should be identical to your old library including all books, albums, slideshows (there have been a few problems reported here - be sure you have version 8.0.2 before converting), etc.
    You mention importing - there is no importing involved - just quit iPhoto on both machines and drag the iPhoto library across a network, a firewire target mode connection or to an EHD and to your your machine.
    You might rebuild a copy of the library on the old computer and try the rebuilt one - although this does not sound like a library corruption issue, but it is worth a try

  • In photos how do I move new iphone import into an album

    I finally saw my iphone icon when plugged into iMac in new photos app-I had to unplug and replug for it to show up; Now I see the import and can select certain ones and choice to keep or delete button in NEW IMPORT; what I can't find is how to move selected photos from new import into specific album. I tried to highlight and copy, but when go to album there is no PASTE choice.I don't want all pics to go to same album, but selected ones to go to different albums (Yosemite 10.10.3 and Photos 1.0 and iphone6 vs 8.1.3)

    Select the photo and then click on the + sign. That should give you album choices.

  • How do i delete "All Imported" pictures under "Album" under Photo App in iPad 2?

    hi, i now have many photos in the All Imported folder under Album in Photo App in my iPad 2.   I don't seem to have a way either in Ipad 2 or in iTunes to DELETE / REMOVE these pictures?
    can someone let me know how?  

    Yes, delete all the apps currently in iTunes, then transfer all the apps currently on the iPad back into iTunes. Of course it will take some time to sync the apps back into iTunes, but it satisfies your desire to remove all apps from iTunes that are not on your iPad without the need to laboriously note what is and is not there. In fact as a bonus after removing all the apps from iTunes you could open the ..\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications folder and delete any remaining orphaned files that might still be there, before you transfer purchases.

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may need to edit the song information to include the album. See these articles for help:

  • How to import albums from iPhoto 4..?n

    Have put a lot of work to group my photos in my previous iPhoto. Now, got the '08 (7.0) Version and imported the Library. All the pictures seem to be in, even more, pictures, I believed to be erased..
    But don't have a clue, how to import the albums, so the photos are grouped again as they were..
    Working in Leopard (10.5.2). My other iPhoto with albums is still on another (internal) hard drive with Tiger as OS.
    Any idea, how to import the albums ?
    Thanks

    In iPhoto's General preferences pane check the checkbox "Show Item Counts".
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to export and import a whole album?

    I know you can export files in an album as files but how can you export the album as a whole and then import that into another machines iphoto.

    Robert:
    Select the album and uses the Share->Burn Disk option. That will create an iPhoto organized disk that will show up in the source pane of the other Mac's iPhoto library (like this). All you need to do is drag the album icon under the disc icon onto the library icon and that album will be copied into that library as a new roll. Actually, as I recall, if you drag the album icon into the Source pane it will be copied as a new album and roll.
    Do you Twango?

  • How to import Albums from iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 6

    Just got a couple new Duo2Cores to replace/compliment some G4s; the G4's all had the old iPhoto 2 installed. How do I get the Albums to transfer from a G4 iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 6? The individual photos copy over fine, but I'd sure like to preserve all my albums!
    Thanks!

    pcbjr:
    As Dochollerday pointed out before running iPhoto6 on your old library it's wise to make sure the permissions are OK and there are no locked files (why they get locked is a mystery but sometimes they do - I happened to me). A very quick and easy way to achieve both issues at once is to download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current.

  • Crashes while importing TIFFs.  Also, how to import directly into an album?

    Just got Aperture last night in the mail. Upgraded to 1.1.1.
    I have about 250 CDs with TIFF images that I've created over the years. The TIFF files were created by a Nikon film scanner. Some of those images were later re-touched and re-saved using Photoshop.
    In any event, I started importing all those CDs into Aperture to consolidate all my photographs in one place. On the first CD, Aperture crashed unexpectedly for no reason. The Aperture database would also get corrupted and I would have to delete it, and start from scratch.
    Here's what I discovered. If I wait for Aperture to generate a thumbnail of all the images in the CD before I click on the "Import All" button, there are four images in the CD for which Aperture does not generate a thumbnail. Furthermore, if I tried to import the same CD into iPhoto, all files but those four would get imported. At least iPhoto doesn't crash, and after the import is finished it would tell me that four photographs could not be imported because the format was not recognized. The interesting thing is that Photoshop can open every single file on the CD (again, all of them are TIFF images)
    So my (painful) workaround is to import all my CDs into iPhoto first, and then import into Aperture from iPhoto, which works very well. That way the Aperture repository doesn't get corrupted.
    So, question 1: does anybody know if there's a special setting in Aperture that would stop it from crashing and gracefuly skip over any photographs that it can't recognize?
    Question 2: I want to import every single CD into its own album so I later know what CD I can find the image on. Aperture seems to import always onto the project, not the album. Is there a way around this?
    When I import into iPhoto, I create an empty album and then drag the files from the CD onto that album. If I then import the iPhoto album into Aperture, Aperture automatically creates an album, which is nice. I'd love to do the same but with iPhoto out of the picture (excuse the pun). That would speed up the import process tremendously.
    Thanks for your help,
    Julian

    Are there two questions here?
    1. You can indeed create an album under a Project in advance and Import direct to that. One Album per CD? Works fine. Just point the Import Arrow at the Album. NOTE: the Masters are actually held in the Project (this is true across Aperture) and Pointers are held in the Album .... but the effect is of Albums with photos > Project containing all the photos.
    2. These TIF files are not corrupt, if Photoshop or iPhoto opens them. This has got to be an Aperture bug and I have the same issues with TIF's. Created a thread about it, so I hope the Aperture development team did read it (please, please, please). You could convert in Photoshop to .PSD vs. resaving (unless this is what you did) as I haven't noted this problem with .PSD files

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How do I share certain albums in my iphoto library with other users....

    without using the fast user switching/sharing preference in iphoto?
    I have about 12,000 photos in my library of which about 6000 are for work. I would like to share all of my non work photos with the other users on my imac. I would rather not use the fast user switching and keep the iphoto application open for all the users. I would like to either import only selected albums to the user account or add them to the shared folder for their access. How can I export/import only the albums I wish to share without having to do it manually for each? Should I make a copy of the library, add it to the other users accounts and then delete the photos? Or can I put the library in the shared folder and limit access to certain albums? I don't think it would make too much sense to have a duplicate library since I only have about 10GB left on my HD.

    With iPhoto 6 you can place the source files, i.e. exported the full sized files for those albums you want to share, in appropriately names folders in the Shared folder. Then have each user create an new library with iPhoto's alias mode, i.e. create alias files of the source files instead of copying the a full sized version into the library. This way each of the other users can have a working library and you only have to have one copy of each file on the HD. Saves a lot of space. Any edits that one user performs will not be seen by the other users. If a user delete a photo from their library only the alias files is deleted. The source files are untouched.
    The downside to this method is if you add a file(s) to the Shared folder each of the other users will have to import that file into their own library. An easy way around that is to always put new photos in new folders and let the others know there are new ones to import. You could also divide your library up into to two, keeping your work library a conventional one and removing the "shared" source photos and have a similar alias based library for the personal photos that are in the Shared folder. Then use iPhoto Library Manager or iPhoto Buddy to quickly switch between the two. I have 7 libraries that I use iPLM to switch between. It's very convenient and fast. If you want to convert over entirely to an alias system, both work and personal, here's a way to retain the keywords you've assigned to them. See tutorial #2 here.

  • How do import from iphoto backup disk

    My wife cleaned out her iPhoto library the wrong way. She deleted from the albums and said photos are still in the photo library. I made disk backups from Share/Burn for her current albums. I started a new library but can’t fine how to import them back with the same  albums she had them set up as. I can import as Event names only.
    Any Idea?

    You can do this from within iMovie.  In the content library at bottom left of the iMovie window there should be an iPhoto icon.  if you click on it you can select the pics you want.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.
