How to move photos between albums

Simple question, I know. I'm embarrassed to even ask. I tried Command key to select several images, then dragging the photos to targeted folder. No dice. Help?

You have to drag by the image, not by the border.

How do you move pictures between albums not juat copy? Presently when moving a photo a copy is left behind.

You may be able to do it as follows:
1 - assign a unique keyword to each of those files. Something like "AAAAAAAA" will stand out when you're looking for it.
2 -set the view options to View keywords only.
3 - set the sort option to sort by keyword.
4 - now look for that unique keyword, select them all and create a new roll. To see the new roll you'll have to reset rolls to be viewed.
If there are more than one keyword for those photos, the the first keyword assigned to that photo will determine where it falls in the listing of photos. So it's best if there are no keywords other than the unique one.
Do you Twango?
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. 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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My iPhoto stopped letting me move photos between albums.

i used to be able to move the photos i uploaded to my iphoto between the different albums i have and now it wont let me. does anyone know why or how to fix it?

What version of iPhoto do you have?
as to moving photos between albums just open the source album and drag the photos to the destination album in the source pane on the left
And you do not "upload" photos - you import them - typically an import does not create an album - it creates an event - how are you importing your photos?

How to transfer photos between albums?

I am a new user, I loaded many old photos and want to move them into smaller albums,

Albums are just lists of picture files. They are similar to a playlist for audio files, which means you can include a given picture file in as many albums as you want. So, you don't 'move' files between albums, you add or delete those picture files. Let's say you have a big album you want to 'split' into smaller ones. First create the destination albums. Select your big album. Highlight the files you want to transfer to the small album, and drag and drop them on that small album. That will copy the files (add them) to the small album. If you want to delete them from the big album (it's your choice), right click and choose 'delete from album' and specify which album you want to delete from. Remember that pictures can be included in different albums and that 'moving' files between albums is a bad metaphor. You add, you delete, you don't move.

Unable to move photos between albums in search mode

I am unable to move picture between albums when I have done a search for a title etc. eg. search for 'Leeds' brings up 20 pics one album and 15 in another, but the two albums are several years apart (possibly 100's of rolls!).
Why am I unable to then drag the pics from one roll to another? Is this a known issue? Very annoying when dealing with various project over various years and the only way is to drag the pics all the way down, often getting lost!!
Any advice?
Thanks

How to move photos from photo stream to albums on iPad

How do I move photos between stream and album or any other place

You could do it by setting up a Shared Photo Stream. Select the photos in the Photo app then tap the Shared button selecting Photo Stream. Just don't enter any email address and it will appear on your other devices. Only photos can be added and not albums so you will have to re-organize then on the iPhone.
I would recommend getting the photos to the computer as well though. Create a photo library on the computer and sync then over to the iphone with iTunes. The photo library on the computer can be added to a more reliable backup.

How do I move photos from album to album in Photo

How do I move photos from album to album in Photo?

Now try this. Try to import photos from your camera's SD Card by dragging and dropping the photos from the SD Card to an album of choice. You can't.
Actually you can if you drag the photos onto the albums' icon in the sidebar pane at the left or into the albums open window at the right. This
gets you this:
However, this test was for photos in a folder on the Desktop. I didn't have a memory card to test so you may have to move the pictures from the card to a folder on the Desktop and import from there.

How can I move photos in Albums into Cameral Roll?

I reinstalled Lion OS X but I forgot to back up photos.
Is there any way to save them in iPhoto or in my Macbook?

You can't move photos in Albums that were transferred from your computer into the Camera Roll.
Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync processa are optimized for viewing on the iPhone - the original resolution of these photos is reduced. This is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. Photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer and should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
There are some paid 3rd party utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but the original resolution of these photos is lost.

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

Move photos between folders

I want to move photos between folders in dropbox. On my PC I could download the photo folders, open two photo screens and drag and drop pictures between them. How do I do that in Yosemite?

S/He seems to want to open two finder windows. These photo folders referred to seem to be on dropbox.
I hope so, but was a bit concerned, that the question might relates to the way, that Dropbox is importing iPhoto Libraries or backing up iPhoto Libraries. I wanted to be sure, that the iPhoto Library is not actually sitting in Dropbox,, or referenced originals.
As in these links:

In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

In Lightroom mobile how can move photos within the collection????

What you can do is to move (or copy) a photo form one collection to another. This can be triggered via the top right app menu item from grid view. Same menu is available when you open up an image for editing. Hope that helps. -Guido

How to rotate photos in albums?

how to rotate photos in albums??

yes, i can downloaded the photo(s) and use preview or iphoto ot some other program to rotate each one, but it seems so awkward, inelegant and SLOW, just to take a quick peek at the five separate photos that someone sends.
is there really not an app or some similar thing to help? i recall downloaded an app for explorer on windows, to take care of the same problem...

Can't move photos into albums

Hi there,
ever since I upgraded to iPhoto '09 I can't seem to move photos into albums that I am editing.
When viewing the photos in "normal" list mode there is no problem to move them into an album. I grab the photo, drag it onto the album and a green plus sign appears indicating that it is possible to add the photo. When I drop it and check, the photo is indeed inside the album as it should.
When I double click the photo to go into edit mode I see the enlarged photo and a strip of photos running along the upper edge. This is just like in iPhoto '08. It used to be that I could grab photos in that strip and drag them to an album. When I do this now the green plus sign does appear just as before, which makes me think that I can indeed add it to the album. However, when I check the album the photo is not there.
Is this a bug? Is it some preference that I can set?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Marcus

In addition to wanting to know how to move photos around on ipad , i also want to know how to delete photos

Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly on the iPad - they are deleted by moving them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing, and they should then be removed from the iPad.
You also can't alter the order of photos in the Photos app, the sorting needs to be done on your computer prior to syncing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221
