I can't move multiple pictures into an album

I have been using iPhoto for years and just upgraded to iLife. Now I can only move pictures into an album one at a time. If I select more that one, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

  • Move multiple events into one album

    Hi,
    I am trying to tidy up our photos on iPhoto.
    Is there a fast, easy way to move multiple 'Events' into one 'Folder'
    For example:
    We have all of our photos from our honeymoon in Europe saved as seperate 'Events' According to the location. It was a 3 month trip so there are a lot of 'Events' or locations. Is there a way i can select all of them and put them into the Honeymoon 'folder' without them all merging into one big album?
    I want to keep them as separate events within the folder so we can remember where they were taken.
    I have been trying to drag the 'Event' over to the Honeymoon 'Folder' but instead of just going straight in there it creates a new unnamed folder on the left panel, and then i have to drag the event up to the honeymoon folder and delete the unnamed folder. It is proving rather time consuming and i have over 12000 photos to sort.
    Any help would be great. Simple terms please!!
    Thanks

    lf you drag an event onto a folder in the left hand pane the photos in that Event will be added to a new album in that folder with the same name as the Event. .

  • How can I insert multiple pictures into a "diary" document?

    We started traveling in an RV.  I'm keeping several journals but want to put everything into one document.  I'd like to either insert a slide show at each location I write about, or just insert a number of pictures easily!  the first time I selected about 8 pictures and they just laid over each other.  I couldn't figure out if text in front, around, and they all come in the same size, too big.  I'm looking for an easy fix as I have 22 events to write up and insert pictures in.
    Are pages the best way to go? 

    Hi billdeb411,
    Pages is certainly one way to go for creating documents such as you describe. You might want to look at this page for a better idea of its capabilities -
    Apple - Pages for Mac
    http://www.apple.com/mac/pages/
    Another possibility, particularly if you are trying to create a physical book as your end product, would be to use iPhoto. See its product page here -
    Apple - iPhoto for Mac
    http://www.apple.com/mac/iphoto/
    With it you can create a photo book with your computer and have Apple print the book out for you

  • In expert mode, using the mover tool, I can not move one picture into another. Need help as I get error message

    I have two pictures in expert mode in editor. I go to "Move tool", click on picture but I am unable to move and drop in second picture. I do not get the dashed lines around the picture, and if I move cursor to
    move picture, I get the following message " This operation cannot be performed on the locked background layer. Do you want to convert the locked background layer into an editable layer?"  I have no idea
    what I need to check or uncheck to make it work.,  I am following a lesson plan in a "Infinite Skills" training course.  I talked to them, but was unable to come up with a answer.  Help, please I have been
    trying to do this move for over a week.  tks  rdf

    We don't know whether this tutorial was written for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, more specifically for which version of PSE. There are differences. Be sure to have the layers palette open.
    Try this instead
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select something from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the object. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position object from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and object B on a separate layer.
    To unlock the background layer, double click on it in the layers palette. Perhaps your tutorial will  guide you through the process.

  • How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
    To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

  • Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work?

    Can you import more pictures into a photo book that is already in work? I have already spent many hours trying to create a photo album but came across more pictures to choose from. However, I don't know how to get these new pictures into the "list" of potential photos for the book in progress. I can't stand the thought of having to start over by selecting the 2000 photos plus these new ones and starting all over again!?!

    I have found more pictures that I want to include. They are, say, in a folder on my desktop. I can't simply pull a picture (or the folder) from the desktop and insert it into the album or the list of potential pictures across the top.
    to import into an existing book (which is just a special kind of album) simply drag the photos from their source (the desktop in your example) to the book in the source pane on the left (not to the book in the library window but the book icon in the source pane
    Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book
    I also tried imported the pictures, from the desktop folder, into iphoto, creating new event. I don't think there is a way of accessing that new event from the album in work/progress.
    Likewise to use photos from your iPhoto library just drag them from the library to the book in the source pane on the left
    I also tried merging the new "event" into an existing event that I had selected for the album. That doesn't work either???
    That is correct - there is no connection between the source of the book and the book - the book stands alone and you add direct to it in the source pane exactly as you would add to any other album

  • I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

    I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

    The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
    The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
    Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
    This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

  • How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?

    I am new to FCP X and I'm creating a picture slideshow.  How can I make multiple pictures slowly fade to white in FCP X ?
    For example, I would like to have 10 pictures all play in 5 seconds, and starting off with the 1st one being little light; 2nd lighter; 3rd lightter; etc., to 10th being completly white screen...
    Can anyone help ?

    Here is what I would do. Add a 5 second white generator solid to your storyline. Add your 10 half second clips as attached clips. Select them all, right click and make a compound clip. Then keyframe the compound clips opacity from 100% t0 0% with one keyframe at the beginning and one at the end. That will give you a linear reduction in opacity over the 5 seconds(10 pics). You can play with the keyframes to get the effect you want if linear isn't doing it.
