How to manage photo albums without duplicating them in photo library ?

Hi reader,
I have created multiple albums in photo library. And, i am storing pictures in different albums.. But, when i do that, picture also stays in photo library (default place where photos are being store after camera click). so, i end up having duplicate photos: 1) in the album which i have created, 2) in the photo library-where it is store by default after taking picture.
i don't want to have this duplication done. Once i add a particular picture/pictures to the new album, it should automatically be removed from the photo library..
Can anyone help me how can i do that ??

Send feedback to Apple.

Ah, new to routers too.
Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
To explain everything would require writing a book here.
But this is what you want basically.
Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
(guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
3: Guest access on devices and computers only. Passwords written down and stored.
4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

I want to sync my contacts without duplicating them with OS 10.6.8

I have a problem. It seems that I cannot duplicate my contacts without duplicating them. What makes matters worse is that I am using OS 10.6.8, and the Icloud has never worked properly for me. I always wind up loosing the the ability to sync my calendar.
At this time, I cannot up grade my OS with incurring the loss of programs I use everyday for my business due to incompatability issues.
When ever I sync my contacts, they duplicate. I want to sync them, but I don't want to spend hours deleting the duplicates.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks so much!!
All best-

use Migration Assistant and everything would work. But it didn't transfer any of my applications.
Just to be clear - you said "Migration Assistant", but did you really use "Migration Assistant" or rather "Setup Assistant"? When setting up a new Mac, you will be prompted after installing the system to transfer your data - and that would be the Setup Assistant. if you first create your account, and then transfer, you will be using "Migration Assistant". The "Setup Assistant" is greatly preferable, since it will keep the identity of the user account.
But it didn't transfer any of my applications.
The Setup Assistant or Migration Asistant lets you choose what to transfer. DId you enable to transfer your applications?
Is your old mac a Power PC? If your applications are still PowerPC applications, they cannot run on a Mavericks system. Try to update as many of your applications as possible to universal binary versions, that can run on Intel macs, before you migrate them to your new Mac. Aperture 3.1.2 will not still not run on Mavericks, even if it is a univaersal binary, but if you get it transferred and installed on your new Mac, you can update it to 3.5.1.
And before transferring your Aperture library, repair it using the First Aid Tools. See the Aperture Release Notes http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2518

I'm restoring a new iPad 2 (shattered the original). Backed it up on the iCloud and have restored all apps, music, photo albums, etc. However, the photo stream has not activated, so no photos have downloaded. Photo Stream is fine on my Iphone and Mac.

Hello there, Tamghosh.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps to use for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iCloud: Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Particularly:
I don't see photos in Photo Stream on my iOS device.
Check the following:
From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

How to mark (psd) Images with the Circle Symbol without duplicating them

I would like to import my layered images in Aperture.
The problem is i would like to further adjust them in photoshop cs3 without creating a duplicate.
Is there a possibility to mark this images with the Circle Symbol (for edited with external editor) or do I really have to open each image than close again, delete the master and then the remaining image with the circle can be opened and further enhanced in Photoshop without duplicating the image.
Another example:
I like to open a psd file within aperture with: edit with Adobe Photoshop CS3.
The Image should open without being duplicated. Then I could drag the layer into another PSD document and close it again.
Right now I would end up with a Master Duplicate which I have to delete afterwards.
I know I could use referenced files and say show in finder but I like managed better,
also:
Show in finder does show you only one image (I like to do that to 5 or 10 images at once).
bc

Like I said if you want to get into the programming business you can modify the aperture database directly but I don't know of an easier way with managed masters. You can always just do your workaround to files that you are actually working on and you only need to do it once.
Sorry there is no answer to easier answer to deal with all of them at the same time. At least none I can think of off the top of my head.
RB
Ps. Lightroom can just open your PSD files but that is an apples and oranges thing. Lightroom is not trying to manage your masters for you in a managed library an ensure that nothing modifies them, if you are ok with that method than referenced files should be ok with you as well, you can always use referenced for your legacy PSDs and use a managed methodology for your new images going forward starting with the source image.

Nokia 701 Helping with Lumia 800

Well as you seem uninterested in a more extensive answer what else is there. A Windows Phone device is not 'on it's own' so to speak it is part of an ecosystem which includes Skydrive, your Micrsoft account and more. As such it uses features provided by these resources.
As the OS is very secure it does not allow too much tinkering with the 'inside' instead it allows you to pull in information from a number of sources. Your Photo Albums are on Facebook, Skydrive and other locations. There they can be edited/renamed or whatever. This has always been the way WP is designed even before other started copying this behaviour as it makes sense.
In a few years time _everyone_ will be using the cloud like this and it will be a none-issue. When the time comes just remember WP was the frontrunner in this and the other systems followed their lead..

Hi, whilst on holiday my iPhone automatically updated my photo album and duplicated all the pictures. I deleted the duplicate pictures now when I click on the photo it's just a black screen. Any ideas how I can restore my photos?

Does anybody know how to restore photos on the iPhone 4?
My phone automatically updated my photo album and it made duplicates of each photo.
I deleted one of each as it maxed out my memory. When I went to view the photos I just got a black screen. I have now lost all my
Photos :( if I synch my phone what will happen?

The only way to lose content on the device is restore as "new" from iTunes or "Erase All Content and Settings" from the device.
Start by resetting or restarting the device to see if that rectifies the problem.

HT201317 How do I select all images in Photo Stream without selecting them individually?

Rather than selecting 1000 images individually is there a way to select all of them in one hit?

iCloud only keeps photos in your photo stream for 30 days, but they will remain on your iPad (up to 1000 photos) until you delete them. I believe Apple TV will only display the photos that are still in your photo stream, not photos earlier than 30 days ago.
If the older photos are on your iPad, you could always open them on your iPad and use AirPlay to display them on your Apple TV.

Aperture 3 & iPhoto - How to add photos w/o putting them into the library

Hey Guys,
I want to know if there is a way of using iPhoto or Aperture without having to store my photos into their library.
I've been traditionally keeping my photos in my "Pictures" album by adding folders and numbering them accordingly to keep track of my albums. Because some times I edit stuff and what not, their dates are often modified and thus when I drop them into iPhoto or Aperture's library, it screws up the order of my folders. Hence I've never really gone around using iPhoto and Aperture.
I'm currently using Picasa only because it allows me to "link" my photos to it's application instead of having to dump all of it's photos physically into a library of its own. Besides though, Picasa's functions aren't all that fantastic.
Is there a way for Aperture or iPhoto to do the same thing so I can keep to my own method of handling my photo albums, and yet benefit from iPhoto or Aperture's editing functions?
For reference, this is how I keep my pictures.

I don't think you've grasped Aperture or iPhoto. Both are Digital Asset Managers. Neither are photo editors, which seems to be what you want.
Specifically
Does this mean I can still edit a picture
Yes.
a) save it as a new file,
Not without exporting first - and frankly, why would you bother waste the disk space. Further, these apps are Managers, the point is that you access the photos via the iPhoto or Aperture application, not the Finder. It's a bit like AddressBook. That's your address manager, it makes no sense to try and root around in the Application Support Folder to access and address because the +access point+ to this information is the AddressBook window.
b) save over the original picture?
Neither app will do this. The +entire point+ of these applications is to preserve the Original as a "Digitial Negative" and not to ever change this.
If you want to directly edit the photos then you need a photo editor like Photoshop.
Regards

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!
Power Mac Dual G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

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.

Adding new photo albums without deleting the old ones

I want to add some new photo albums from "My pictures" but Itunes is telling me that if I do this, it will erase my old pictures. Does anyone know how to get around this?

If the folders you are syncing from are all directly below "My Pictures" then you can sync from more than one by choosing the option of syncing from selected folders. You can't just change from one single folder to the other without erasing the first lot. For example you may choose to sync from My Pictures and inside My Pictures you have folders for different subjects. You can then choose which of those subject folders you want to update to the iPod or you might want to make a folder in there especially for iPod photos. You can drag these folders into an order of your choice inside the selection box. Just note that the folders can only be one level down from the main folder you choose to sync from, they can't be deeper down inside another.
Here's a simple "How To" on downloading photos from a folder and sub folders on your hard disk to an iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Inside this folder create as many other folders as you want (or drag and drop existing ones from other locations on your hard drive)
3 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the appropriate folders you just created. (not necessary if you are using pre-existing folders already containing photos)
4 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
5 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
6 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
7 Choose the radio button "Selected folders"
8 Tick the folders you want to go on the iPod and click Apply
When you go to Photos on your iPod you'll see each of the folders you have chosen in the menu and you can choose whichever one you want to view.
