I have pictures in my folders

If I have understood Aperture correctly you can only have pictures in projects and albums. In my case I create a folder for each year and then projects for each month of the year. Sometimes I also create an Album in a project for some specific occasion. However, I have now noticed that the year folder also contains some pictures. I do not understand this. Anybody that can enlighten me?

Aldrin,
If your folder is a root level folder or sub-folder (Blue color), selecting the folder will show ALL images in the projects under that folder. I use a year/quarter based system similar to yours, and I actually like the fact that the year folder gives me a look at all the projects within that year.
If you are seeing only "some pictures" as your post suggests, something else is going on that perhaps some other forum member can help you with.

  • I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto.  I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome.  After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

    I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
    1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
    2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
    3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
    Thanks!

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,

    I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now.  As to where these files are, I don't know.  It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??

    If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.

  • HT4236 I have my photos in folders with subfolders on my pc.  When I sync to my Ipad I only get the folders but not the subfolders, so all pictures came over but not broken into each subfolder.  WHY?

    I have my photos in folders with subfolders on my pc  When I sync to my Ipad I only get the main folder but not the subfolders.  All pictures that are in the subfolders are synced but in no order.  I checked to sync all folders.  Help!

    Thanks for your reply.
    Does that mean that as its just another way of accessing my photos then it does not increase double up on memory ? In my photo library after repeated sycs on my IP 4 there appear to be 3 identical pictures in a row sometime just 2, why would this be if its just another way of accessing my pics, this confuses me.

  • View coppies of pictures in multiple folders

    I have alot of different folders for pictures on my PC for different purposes and some of the folders contain the same pictures as other folders.
    For example... I have a folder named "Job Related" and another named "To Print". At times I will copy some of the picture from the "Job Related" folder to the To "Print" folder (not move the file but copy it). So now I have the same picture in 2 different folders and that is what I want.
    The problem is that Elements will only show the picturs in the original folder, it will not show coppies - all other organizers show all the pictures that are in each folder.      How can I make Elements show all the coppies of pictures in all the different folders?? All it should take is an option dialog box to allow such a request.
    I have Elements 7 and just downloaded  the trial version of 8 and both do not allow me to do what I want. I would like to buy version 8 and all upcoming versions but if I can not set it up to see copies of pictures in various folders then Elements is a progrma that is to limited for my needs which is a shame because I think it is a great organizer.   Help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks in advance, Jim.

    A couple of quick questions about how you use Elements
    When you import new pictures, do you always assign a tag to them?  If not how do you then view them?
    Do you import all pictures in to one large folder?
    I like using tags and think it as a great way to organize pictures but I feel like the program would be more powerful by allowing the viewing of all pictures by tag or by folder, wouldnt it?

  • Moving Pictures and Music Folders

    Having run out of space on my hard drive, I have installed a new 1Tb internal disk. I have moved my Aperture library and some other large folders from (user/library) to the new disk and have added the new folders to the Finder sidebar.
    How can I now make sure that applications such as iPhoto and iDVD (especially iDVD) will find the folders on the new disk when I click on the media/pictures tabs when making DVDs?
    Regards,
    Cliff

    To move the iPhoto Library
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    iDVD will find the content of the iPhoto Library if you do it as described above.
    Regards

  • Steps to Transfer mail from Older MBP 10.6.8 to Newer MBP 10.8.5 for NON-tech person  I really just need the simplest solution.  I have cleaned out old folders on the OMBP, but there are folders I need for work

    I really just need the simplest solution.  I have cleaned out old folders on the OMBP, but there are folders I need for work.
    I am not a technical person.  I have gone online and read a gazillion "All Ya Gotta Do...." to the point where my head swims.
    I backed up my older MBP onto WD Passport Studio via Time Machine.
    I transferred all my files there and put them all onto the newer MBP.
    I expected to see Mail but did not.
    Someone said just use Migration Assistant, but I dont find that anywhere.
    Please dont say iCloud because I dont even know what it is.  Sorry, but I just dont use my Mac other than for work, meaning online access for research, and then typing reports of various kinds... and for emailing.
    Can I just hook the firewire directly from OMBP to NMBP and copy them that way??
    Sorry I am such a dolt, but I really just want easy step by step instructions, thank you.
    Would the Genius Bar at my local store be able to help me???
    Thank you,

    Okey Dokey!
    I followed the steps for the Target Disk thing, and was able to transfer everything on my old desktop, in my old pictures file...  all the final transfers regarding my documents and photos.
    BUT 
    there were no folders for Mail, and when I went to the only folder I could find that said "Mail" -- which was under "applications" it then told me that I could not transfer old "mail" to new "mail" since they were different versions...
    Now THIS makes sense,,, and I was not looking to do that... 
    but how do I find all my mail folders???? 
    Is there someplace I should be saving them in order to get them???
    Do you mind helping me with instructions on how to do this?
    Thanks!

  • Regarding Facetime on my Ipad. I get started on a call and after 10 or 15 minutes I cannot hear whom I am talking to. They can still hear me and I still have picture on the screen but my sound stops working.

    Why can't we use Acrobat Pro for mobile devices? Save a whole lot of headaches!!! Now I have to return this subscription.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't think you can. You might ensure that their creation dates are in order, but I'm not so such that will help. Ordering seems to be a feature limited to use with iPhoto/Aperture.

  • I was trying to get the iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 5 but then it stopped and my phone is now on recovery mode I have pictures I need and they did not all fit on iCloud  how can I use the phone again with ALL my pictures and videos without restoring it?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

  • How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows sear

    How can I download a previously downloaded purchase to my iTunes library on my laptop when the listing for the song in my library won't play because it says it cannot locate the file. Yes I have searched my iTunes folders and also done a full windows search. The track plays on my iPad and my iPhones but will not play on my laptop!?
    It has an "!" To the left of the song title in my library
    My worry is that if I sync my iPad/iPhone then I will lose the track on those also!

    If you cannot find the file on your hard drive then once you delete the current broken entry you should be able to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This assumes the item in question qualifies. Note that audiobooks, digital booklets, iTunes LPs & Extras, ringtones, selected movies etc. don't.
    If prompted don't hide the item. You may find that you need to close and then reopen iTunes before it will appear for download.

  • I have 300 apps organized in folders on my ipod touch 4th gen, and connected my iphone 4, these apps have copied over but none have been placed in folders, any ideas how to replicate folders from ipod to iphone...?

    I have 300 apps organized in folders on my ipod touch 4th gen, and connected my iphone 4, these apps have copied over but none have been placed in folders, any ideas how to replicate folders from ipod to iphone...?

    What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod.  However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • HT4890 i can no longer have pictures down loaded to my computer from my iphone

    i can no longer have pictures down loaded to my computer from my iphone it stoped 2 days ago

    Assuming you're using iTunes 11, when the iPhone is connected to iTunes it will show at the top right just next to the iTunes Store button. Also by pressing Ctrl+S to Show Sidebar you will find the device in the same place it was in iTunes 10
