I'm trying to arrange albums in folders

Hi
Is there a way to add music inside folders ? for example when I create a folder in my iPOD named "Pink Floyd" .. I want all the different albums by this band to be in different folders inside the main folder :
Pink Floyd -->Animals
Dark side of the moon
Relics
Meddle
Is there a way to do that ?
Thank you

Hi,
Do you mean the folders you can create in iTunes to organise groups of playlists or the folders you see in explorer/finder which you use to orgainse your files. The way iTunes & the iPod are designed to work together means you don't get involved with the layout of the files on the iPod. Building separate playlists for each album & playlist folders for each artist is possible, but time consumming & unnecesary. Using the various built-in menus allows you to find albums just as easily as you could through an extensive collection of playlist folders.

  • Arranging albums in folders

    I'm currently using iPhoto version 5.0.4 and I was wondering if it's possible to organize my photo albums that are in folders in the source window in alphabetical order.
    At the moment the only way I can achieve this is by manually moving them in order which can get annoying since some folders have a large amount of photo albums. I have looked every where in iphoto but can't seem to find any options that allow me to do this. Have I over looked something or it can't be done in this version of iPhoto.
    Thanks

    Hi Carlitos,
    the only way is to manually drag them in the order you want.

  • IPhoto albums and folders lost after transfer of library to new Mac

    After transferring iPhoto library from old Mac Book Pro (running OS X 10.8.5, iPhoto 08 7.1.5) to new Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.9.1, iPhoto 9.5) all of the albums and folders from the old library have been lost and photos are just listed as events. It would take a long time to rearrange all the photos into the original albums and folders. Apple one -to -one sessions in store x2 unable to solve just said that the old library must be corrupted
    I still have the old photo album arranged in albums and folders on the old Mac.
    I also have iPhoto buddy installed on old Mac and have tried transferring to new Mac with and without iPhoto installed but either way albums and folders were lost.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Would upgrading old Mac Book Pro to Mavericks and then upgrading iPhoto before transferring the library be a solution?

    I tried again with iPhoto updater and this time it worked on 2 of my 3 libraries so the albums and folders were preserved. I also had not realised  that iPhoto updater needed to be opened from Utilities folder nad had thought it would work automatically once downloaded (one -to -one in store trainer had not realised this either).
    I then remembered that there was one .mov file shot on my " still "digital camera in an iPhoto album. Once I removed this iPhoto updater worked on the 3rd library so old folders and albums preserved.
    Even then there was one small folder of images which  has not transfered via Target mode. For unknown reasons when I transferred these images from camera to old MCP they were jumbled and not in normal date order. I will try transferring these images to new MBP on a memory stick.
    Thanks for persuading me to persist

  • Photo library albums and folders taking up more space

    If you create albums and folders on photo library it appears to duplicate the pictures and take up more space.  Is there any way to avoid this since you can't group pictures otherwise?

    Change your import settings to 128 AAC (assuming that's what you want - I'd choose MP3s, personally, since they will work in other programs and portable devices).
    The previous default is AAC encode, High Quality (128kbps)
    Then you can just right-click on selections and choose "Create AAC version". It will say "Create MP3 version" if you decide to use thoe import settings.
    Of course you already have an AAC version, but itunes will convert it to the lower rates. I just tried it on the free single of the week, "Boarded Doors" and the file size went down from 6.9MB to 3.2MB.
    You can choose to convert an album at a time - you don't need to do it song-by-song.
    I suppose you could do your entire library in one fell swoop, but frankly with the size of my library, I think itunes would crash at some point. Also my hard drive would fill up. ; )
    Note - this makes a COPY and does not replace the original file. So you'll need to delete the originals and make sure they go to the recycle bin.
    Still, it's faster than feeding all those CDs in the drive!
    So that is another reason for doing one CD at a a time, to make sure the copies get made and that the duplciates get gone.

  • I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures.  It took the entire iPhoto Library.  Now I can't use it, and I cannot open it.  How do I get it back to just iPhoto?

    I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures, but the entire iPhoto Library moved.
    I now cannot open iPhoto.  How can I get it back?

    A folder named Library popped up in Pictures.  I didn't want the entire Library, just the one album.
    When I open the Library Folder in Pictures, I get sub folders dated with years.
    When I open the subfolders, I just keep getting more folders.
    This looks like you were viewing your iPhoto Library; the contents of the Masters folder. Is your original iPhoto library still there?
    Where do you keep your iPhoto library? In the default location in your "Pictures" folder? 

  • Albums and Folders

    Hi Everyone, This is my first Query so please bear with me. It concerns iPhoto 09, I'm up to speed with creating Folders and Albums, however my query is that after creating the albums etc and dragging the images into them the images are still shown in the main events pane. Does this mean that iPhoto has created a second set when the album is created and therefore using more space. I would have thought that when the album is created it would have moved the images from the events pane and put them into that album, so that when that is opened up the images become visible. I've tried, once the album is created moving the images from events to trash but then they go from the album as well. Thankfully 'undo' and a good back up mean I don't lose anything. Any thoughts would be appreciated - Many Thanks

    Hi Everyone, This is my first Query so please bear with me.

Does this mean that iPhoto has created a second set when the album is created and therefore using more space.
    No - albums are virtual things - just pointers in the database to the photo in the event - a photo can be in any number of albums with no additional space being used
    I would have thought that when the album is created it would have moved the images from the events pane and put them into that album, so that when that is opened up the images become visible.
    No as noted above it does not move anything - a pointer is created
    I've tried, once the album is created moving the images from events to trash but then they go from the album as well.
    That is correct - the photo is only in one place - the event - removing it from an album only removed it form the album - removing it from an event totally removes it from everyplace
    Thankfully 'undo' and a good back up mean I don't lose anything. Any thoughts would be appreciated -
    and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration.

  • Aperture advice needed albums vs. folders - Hey leonieDF L@@K here pls!

    Looking for some general opinions and/or suggestions on how to best organize Aperture. I want to really streamline my work.  Aspiring professional.
    Right now I'm trying to decided on what the benifit (if any) to using folders vs. albums is.
    I'll use PROJECTS as a MAIN header - for example, Family, Clients, Travel, Shows etc...
    Then within those I want to do several subs.... for example:
    FAMILY - project name
      - any given year 1995 --- album or folder?
          --- sub of that would be,  Joe surprise party or Christmas Eve.
    Since folders are containers that dont hold images, is it too risky to put sub albums or even projects within a folder? For fear of accidentally deleting a folder & with it all the data?
    SUMMARY -  Any good tips on how to organize with Projects, Albums and Folders would be appreciated.
    PS: would love to hear from leonieDF if you see this post.

    The naming of the parts
    Assembling the parts named
    It is a very useful exercise to develop your own Library structure  .  The second link above details many of my thoughts while I was first putting together Aperture 3 Libraries.
    As Léonie has already indicated, your first mapping is commonly proposed, and inverted.  Until you are completely adept with Aperture, stick to "one Project = one out-in-the-world shoot".  This is how Aperture was designed to work (afaict) -- starting off that way will give you the broadest geography you can cover without crashing into an unanticipated fold in the landscape.
    I found it very helpful to understand and utilize the fact that I use the Library for two distinct tasks:  storage, and retrieval.  (I use the program for Image development, but that is in effect independent of the Library organization.)  My solution is to separate these structures, with Projects (organized with Folders) as a filing system for all my Images organized by "shoot", and Albums (organized with Folders) as a filing system for all of my output projects (small "p" projects".
    This works well for me, partly because I am a fine art photographer, and my projects (again, small "p") almost always span several shoots.  For instance I am preparing an entry for a show of small works on paper.  I have created a Folder for this, in which I put an Album holding the 100 or so Images I'm considering entering.  These 100 come from at least 30 separate shoots.  I will whittle this down to four, mark them as the ones I entered, and leave the Folder in which I can always see which Images I considered, and which ones I selected.
    What works for me is unlikely to work for you -- but it should give you some surveyor's marks as you plot and dig your own Library foundation.
    Read the linked messages, play around a bit, and post more.  There are very few needs that Aperture can't meet.

  • Albums vs Folders from iPhoto does not show folders on Apple TV

    Does anyone have a work around to assist organization of Albums on Apple TV into Folders from iPhoto. We have 12,000 images on iMac organized into 30 Folders within which are 80++ albums. When synced the Apple TV only displays albums, all Folders deleted. The consequence is having to scroll through the 80+ albums when seeking the one album you want to watch. This poor form of organization on Apple TV is really cumbersome and driving us nuts.

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    The tv can use events as well as albums, although this doesn't resolve the OP's issue, which is simply one of a large number of photo albums. I have a lot of photo albums (without checking, I think I have around 250) and scrolling through them can be challenging.
    What I do is to keep albums organised into groups such as 'Holidays', 'Weddings' etc and introduce a specific character at the start of the album title, which indicates which group the album belongs to.
    For example ' ☼ Marmaris 2008 ' or ' ♡ Mark and Jasmine's Wedding 1969 '
    It doesn't reduce the long list of albums on the tv, but it does help to keep themed albums together in the list and so makes finding the specific album you are looking for much easier.

  • Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/album artwork folder on the respective PCs. Thx

    Can I merge or combine 2 "album artwork" folders? I have saved music onto an external server from 2 computers but the artwork that I have manually imported remains in the default folder in the music/itunes/"album artwork" folder on their respective PCs.
    i.e. artwork uploaded on one PC won't apppear on the other PC because it is saved locally...
    I'm confident that i won't beable to just merge the 2 because thy'll have the same folder names.
    On the same note: can I have iTunes create these files on the external server/Hard drive also so that either computer can use them at the same time?
    (like I have my library- can the other files be saved remotely)
    Thx

When I hit the export to harddrive or anything else, I get a message saying it is trying to locate and reconnect missing photos, goes into a search mode and displays the identifiers of the located images. When I try to follow the directions for reconnecting I get nowhere. Can you help?

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • Sorting albums in folders

    With iPhoto 11 I use to create folder in the source left panel Album and that I drag the event into the folder. Right clicking on the folder name I can sort the folders, but the events inside the folders aren't sorted. Right click the event name into the folder shows "sort album" but it does anything.
    Is there a way to sort events/album inside folders?

    Terence,
           thanks for the response.   I now understand the design constraint.
    But here where I ned further guidance..  Not quite there.
    1.  Create a NEW Album with the high level folder highlighted
    2.  Select the source images from the LIBRARY-->Photos (now all selected in yellow)
    3. Drag and drop these (30+ ) photos into my new Album (ie France under my Holidays folder)
    4.  I see ALL the photos in the NEW ALBUM ('FRANCE') that were in the folder.
    I can goto the ALBUM and select all unwanted and CUT them out from the folder, but my questions is
    How do I create a NEW ALBUM and have nothing in it..  When I drop photos into this ALBUM, I see everything else from the folder level in it as well..
    Is this due to what I have currently selected (ie the folder, when I create the NEW ALBUM)..??
    Almost there !!
    Regards

  • Trying to get Album Artwork

    I have been trying to get album artwork (Advanced Tab -> Get Album Art) and then once it asks me if I'm sure I want to get it, iTunes 'encounters a problem and needs to close'. Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?
    Or another way to fix my library with the album art its missing?

    Well I don't know what to say about you first problem. However I may be able to help with getting album artwork. When itunes cant find it I usually go to cduniverse.com and search for the album i'm looking for. When you find it just simply copy and paste. Hope that helps.

    trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.
