I want to put my albumns under the bands name but still keep the albumn in their original covers

I want to put my Albums under the groups name, but still have the albums cover showing which would allow me to click on the cover to play that albums songs, but when looking at it on my devices I would see that there is the group I'm looking for and under it there is the albums belonging to that group.

Thanks everyone - I have a wealth of advise, options and warnings to shift thru here!
Really appreciate everyone taking the time to help me out
99jon seems to have the best solution for my unique situation - but so many of you added good tips or additional info - I really appreciate it - gained so much more knowledge just from these responses!
dj_paige - I appreciate your concerns for lost data or extra work - but reality is the files I am looking to move aren't very likely to ever be needed again. It's 1,000s and 1,000's of pictures of "other peoples kids" from 9 years of High school soccer, 4 years of College hockey and 11 years of club soccer. Obviously I am keeping the images featuring my own children or their close friends. I really just didn't want to clog up my new PC or waste space on my external drives (i have 4 totaling about 9 terabytes of storage)
My plan is to extract these unneeded pics to one of my older external drives - which will be dedicated as "archive" so I will always know where they are...save the metadata as suggested, and then delete then from the existing catalog so I can cut it down to size. It took 8 hours to do a full catalog back up of my PSE 11 catalog......only a little over 3 for my PSE12 - where I was much more disciplined in my "star" maintenance and deleted sub standards shots much more religiously!

  • Can I merge events under a main title, but still keep subevents titled?

    I have a ton of pictures to organize and would love to know if I can sort events by making a "main" event like "Family pictures" and put all sub-events having to do with family in it.... but I would love to keep the photos I put in it somewhat seperate. Example:
    If i open an event tilted "Family" I would like to see other events like "reunion 05'", "thanksgiving 06', "bithday 09'" in it. Then I could click those individual events to see the photos.
    Is this possible?

    Yes, but not with Events.
    Events are a very basic form of organisation, firmly built around the date and time the photos were taken.
    Now you want to build an organisation around the contents of the photos.
    Make Albums of the photos for Reunion 05, thanksgiving 06 etc and then create a new Folder (File -> New Folder) Name it Family Photos and then drag the albums to the folder.
    Albums are much more flexible than Events, and used with Keywords and Ratings there is no limit how you organise your pics. And because Albums simply reference pics in your Library they take up no disk space. A single photo can be in 100 albums if you wish, with no duplication.

  • My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts?

    My wife and I decided to both buy Iphones do I put them both under the same apple ID, or do I create two different apple ID's and two differnt icloud accounts? We want to be able to share my itunes library on both our phones and sync our calendars, but I don't want every update and reminder that my wife puts in her phone and I know she doesn't want every reminder I put in my phone.

    What you need to do is both use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but separate Apple ID's for everything else. So, you keep your existing Apple ID. If not a verifiable email address, you will need to create a new Apple ID for yourself. You also create an Apple ID for your wife, again a verifiable email address. You use the existing Apple ID for all iTunes content. The new Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. Here's how to create an Apple ID:

    Hello Folks!
    I hope you all are well. I am new to this so please kindly help me if you can. I am goin to take the ACMT exam very soon and planning to undertake 2 x exams i.e. 10.7 troubleshoot 9L0-063 exam as well as 9L0-010. Is there any training material other than the Apple official material (I bought it already)? Have you guys done the ACMT? What is the format of it? Is there any material do you have that you think you can help me with?
    I would really appreciate any help in this regard.
    Thank you all

  • How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?

    Greetings!
    After importing my 300 or so CDs into iTunes, I found I have tons of duplicate songs.
    Example: I have a song that came in a original album, then in again in a "Greatest Hits" album, then again in a "Hits of the 80's" album, and again in a soundtrack album. I have now have 4 copies of the exact same song.
    How do I delete duplicate songs, but keep a link in their original albums back to the single copy of the song left, so it will play in each album in sequence as if it were still there?
    I don't think this currently exists, but as my library keeps growing the duplicates keep growing.  It would be nice if Apple sees this and adds a way to link songs to multiple albums.
    I don't want to create a custom playlist for every album that has a duplicate song or two (I'd have dozens of playlists) - thought about fixing it that way but not really practical.

    To my knowledge, there is no way of doing what you want. The only workaround is to create playlists for the other albums containing the track, but that isn't practical for most people.

  • Editing photo but still keeping the original

    I am new to iphoto and I hope this is not a dumb question. But how do I edit a photo for a project, but till want to retain the original photo? I want to convert several photos to black and white for a project, but I want to also save the original in it's color format. Am I missing something?

    Simply, it does it automatically.
    When you edit a shot iphoto applies those edits to a copy of the original. If you want to revert then check out the Photos -> Revert to Original command.
    If you want the Original side by side in the iPhoto Window then duplicate the photo first and then edit the duplicate. This will give you your Original and an edited version in the iPhoto Window.
    If having versions is a big part of your work then check out Aperture, where this is easier to do.

  • I just switched to Lion from SL, and am regretting it deeply, is there anyway to switch back to SL but still keep lion on your hard drive until you want it again?

    I hate to have paid for it and have it go away. Help please!

    Start by creating a second partition on your hard drive:
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Install Snow Leopard on the new partition:
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Be sure to choose your new partition as the target destination.
    Download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Any additional updates can be installed using Software Update.
