Importing Album 2.0 Catalogs

I have been working on Album tags for 13,000 pictures for many years, and they are in some 5-6 "categories" like People, Places, Other, etc. I understand from the Lightroom description that Lightroom cannot import these tags - because they are in more than 1 category - which would make Lightroom useless for me. Is that information right?

Not sure about "Album" but it does import from Elements.
You may want to try it out on an empty catalog and see... if you don't have LR, download the 30-day trial..
I would expect however that even if it does bring in the tags, that the heirarchies will be jumbled up... that's what it did with mine from PS Elements...
I haven't gotten around to reorganizing them all... partly out of disgust... partly out of waiting for LR 1.1 to fix that issue... partly out of disgust that 1.1 did not... and partly because my main machine has been in need of repair for the last few weeks... :)

I don't keep multiple catalogs in the organizer because of the size of my catologs.So i keep them on a seperate hard drive & import them into the organizer.I want to create an album such as BIRDS-that I want to build between multiple catalogs.

Transfer Pictures from Imported Album to Camera Roll

How much ever i search the net i havent found an answer for this problem. I seem to fall in to a vicious cycle of coming back to square one. Please help me with the following question please.
1). I am using ipad with camera connection kit for transferring pictures to my ipad.
2) i have dropbox and MSN Onedrive for storing pictures.
3) both dropbox and onedrive sync pictures only from camera roll ignoring the other pictures which are vital too.
4) all the wifi transfer photosync and a core or free aps available in the appstore ddint solve my problem.
Is there a way to transfer the pics to camera roll without going through a tedious process? Why cant there be a simpler solution?
Only when i transferthe pics to camera roll that i can sync them wi either dropbox or onedrive.
PLEASE SUGGEST AN IDEA
thank you in advance.

While using Camera Connection Kit to transfer pictures from Memory Card to Ipad the pictures in the memory card gets saved to a separate folder called "Imported Pictures" instead of saving to Camera Roll of Ipad which is the default sync folder for dropbox and onedrive. Its not possible to move the imported album pictures to Camera Roll that easily or very simply. The process is complicated or requires a paid application. My question is whether the pics can be directly saved to camera roll or is there a way to move at a bulk all the pics from imported album to camera roll so that the sync with dropbox and onedrive is easier and simpler.
Thank you

How to find a selection of photos taken at different dates but imported together. I want them in the same album but they're no longer in the "last import" album.

I imported a bunch of photos taken at different dates that i wanted to group together in the same album but they are not in the "last import" album and are all just mixed in with "all photos" according to the dates they were taken and it's impossible to sift through them all to select the ones i wanted.

Sorry I'm terrible at explaining and even using my macbook haha. Let me try again. I imported some photos that I wanted to group together into an album. I forgot to create the album before importing a new set of photos which then took the place of the previous ones in the "last import" album. Is there anywhere or any way I can easily find the selection of photos I forgot to put into an album together without having to select them one by one from the "all photos" section? These would be the only pictures in my Photos application that haven't been organized into an album yet if that helps; however, these photos were not taken on the same date.

Multiple empty Last Import albums in iPad Photos

I use the camera connection kit to pull photos from an SD card into my iPad 2. This has worked perfectly for about half a year. Recently after importing, I noticed that instead of a single "Last Import" album in the Photos app on the iPad, there were several. One contained the photos just imported, the rest were empty.
They can't be selected for deletion straight out of the iPad through the edit option, seemingly since I didn't create them but the system did.
I pulled all the photos off the iPad. The empty albums remain.
Bringing in new photos from an SD card creates another album. That ones goes away when the pictures in it are deleted/imported, while the empty ones remain.
I deleted the "iPod Photo Cache" from the hard drive that the iPad syncs its photos to. And even stopped having iTunes sync any photos to the iPad.
I'm still left staring at 14 Last Import albums.
This seems to have occurred since upgrading to iOS 5.1. I am not using iCloud to sync photos.
Now I've got my iPad 3 and have restored it from the backup of my iPad 2 and now the empty albums are on it too.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've only seen one other discussion here and its hard to believe this has only happened to so few users.
Other suggestions? Does Apple have a fix or workaround?

HT1660 My itunes library has automatically started to list my songs alphabetically. I do not want this. How do I change it so that when albums come up, the songs are listed in the order of the imported album, NOT alphabetically.

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod.

Photoshop Album 2.0 Catalog problem

I have been using Photoshop Album 2.0 on my old computer (Windows XP) for some time. My new computer is Vista 32bit. I have installed Album 2.0 on the new computer. I have used Easy Transfer to transfer the Photoshop Album Catalog to the new computer. When I open Photoshop Album all I get is a blank catalog page. Does Vista support this version of Photoshop. How can I retrieve my pictures and settings.

It's not compatible with Vista, no.
You might try the free Album Starter Edition, although I'm not sure if you can just open an existing Album 2.0 catalog in it (I don't use either software, so I just don't know).
If your catalog is empty, then it's possible you didn't transfer the actual image files to the new computer.
Album only stores a link to the images on your hard drive, so you have to have the files in place for the catalog to see them.

How to delete empty Last Import albums on Ipad2

This is both a question and a partial solution to anyone who has found empty Last Import albums on their Ipad2 after upgrading to IOS 5.1. I ended up with three Last Import albums on my Ipad under the Photos App after the upgrade to 5.1 and Iphoto app.
I could not delete them no matter what I tried. Even turned off Photo sync in Itunes and had it remove all photos from the Ipad and the empty folders are still there.
I ended up trying a round about way of getting rid of the empties. I reasoned that the Camera Connection kit had created this mess and maybe it could fix it.
Solution: (Only practical with a few empty folders)
Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.
Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad. Import the images but keep them on the card.
Disconnect the CCK and hook up to your Mac with Iphoto running. Import the images and delete from the Ipad when asked.
Delete photos from Iphoto.
Repeat several times and you should notice that each time one more Last Import album vanishes from the Ipad.
Hope this helps someone else with this problem and Apple comes out with a better solution to this.

I found a solution! I added a comment over on the shimworld blog (http://shimworld.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/how-to-remove-empty-photo-import-event s-on-your-ipad-2/#comment-18392), I'll repost it here:
I ran into this same issue on my new iPad(3rd gen) after upgrading from iPad 2, I had a few hundred empty events(it took at least 30s of scrolling as fast as I could to reach the bottom). I use the camera connection kit as well as the EyeFI app to import photos constantly so it was a bit of a mess. I’m doing a road trip to SF area soon and needed space for new photos so I need to figure something out. After a bunch of digging around on the internet and looking into tools from my earlier jailbreaking days, I found a solution to do a full reset on the Photos.app. This does NOT require a jailbreak!
First I imported all photos to my mac using Image Capture. Then I turned off iCloud’s PhotoStream, turned off photo syncing in iTunes and let a the iPad do a full sync and backup. Next I ran DiskAid and deleted the photo related folders under the File System -> Media area(see below). This removed EVERYTHING from the Photos.app. Then I rebooted the iPad. The Photos.app was empty just like on a new device! I snapped a couple pics with the camera and it created the camera roll, I turned PhotoStream back on, synced some photos from iTunes. Everything seems to be working great now, just like new!
BEWARE: THIS WILL DELETE ALL PHOTOS STORED ON YOUR DEVICE in Photos.app!!! MAKE A BACKUP!!!!
Connect iOS device with USB and fire up DiskAid. In DiskAid click File System, then click Media. READ WARNING and accept.
Delete these folders:
PhotoData (this has all the photos, database, etc synced from iTunes)
DCIM (this is the camera roll)
Photos (I think this is just the data to determine which iTunes library its synced with)
PhotoStreamsData (iCloud Photo Stream data)
Reboot iPad(probably not required but doesn’t hurt)
Enjoy a fully reset Photos.app!
DiskAid: I used v5.12 on my Mac Mini(10.7.3)

Aperture fails to import albums from iPhoto

I have been using the combination iPhoto/Photoshop for many years. For some time I have considered either Aperture of Lightroom. With the chopped price and supposedly improved interface with the new version, I decided to buy it today. So far it looks like a big mistake! One major reason for choosing Aperture rather than Lightroom was Apertures's advertised smooth import of the iPhoto library, and to import albums in iPhoto. I have spent a lot of time over several years to find a good system of album organization in iPhoto. It was consequently a big disappointment to discover that Aperture failed to import most of my some 30 albums and my slideshows from iPhoto. I have searched both the manual and help to find out how I can get my album organization of some 20 000 pictures into Aperture, but so far without success. Can anyone give me a clue. Both regular albums as well as smart albums are missing. I cannot figure out how I so totally have misunderstood what Aperture is capable of.

There is always local issues involved. No two Macs are alike. Different files, temporary files, plug-ins etc. can and do cause problems. When software updates and upgrades are created, the developer, in this case Apple, need to test the software in different environments. Developers are pushed by steadily shorter deadlines, at the same time applications are also steadily becoming more complex. When I am critical to Apple, it is because there are only Apple applications involved in my case, on a brand new (2 weeks old newest version of MacBook Pro), and the very same issue has happened to too many others. Just take a look at Apple discussions. I have used iPhoto since it was launched the first time, and I have only experienced problems a couple of times before. I am not saying that the problem is iPhoto or Aperture alone, it is the two of them which do not handle the integration. Keep in mind also that most Aperture users are different than the average Mac user in that they work a lot with photo files. This is the environment that Apple has to take into account when launching upgrades and updates.

How can I stop iPhoto from trying to import albums from MoblieMe?

Since 1 July iPhoto tries to import albums from MobileMe upon each start-up. I never created any album in MobileMe so the attempt to imort fails. I can then only click 'Retry' or 'Remind me later'. There is no option to tell iPhoto to not import any album.
Any idea how to get out of this loop?

Close iTunes before switching profiles or disable fast user switching.

2 days (and counting) to import a 10k photo catalog in LR5?

I recently upgraded to LR5 from LR4...upgrading that catalog was relatively fast and seamless. I'm moving a few things around now and created a brand new catalog in LR5 and I'm importing from the "old" LR5 catalog.
This "old" LR catalog has about 10k photos in it (no RAWs there, just hi-res jpegs and a few videos), and the process of importing into the new catalog has been running for about 2 days now (this is my second attempt, after I killed the first attempt thinking something was wrong because it was taking so long).
I've read several threads about this import process being slow, but this is a bit much no? Any ideas on what could be going on here? Or perhaps alternative solutions?
Thanks!

@dj_paige: Just importing the catalog. The reason I'm doing this is because my old catalog has been acting weird when trying to publish and/or export some pictures. I read quite a few posts that suggested this might be due to a problem in the catalog itself and recommended creating a new one and importing from the old.
@Geoff: Definitely something off . Here's the link to the file, thanks for looking! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8338223/Lightroom%205%20Catalog.lrcat.zip
@elie-d: I agree, since I'm not importing pictures I would have thought this would be a pretty fast process...that's why I'm so puzzled. I'm not asking to create 1:1 previous, I'm pretty sure I just left the default values in.

Photo library shows multiple "Last Import" albums after upgrade

Following my upgrade to IOS6, the photo library now shows 3 blank Last Import albums, the ones created when you use the camera import connector. I tried to reset photo syncs to correct the problem, but they still remain.
Having imported an event, one of the 3 Last Import albums is now populated with pictures. The issue remains that there is the clutter of the two blank ones which seem to linger and probably will always be there unless there is some way to reset this.
So the question is, has anyone else seen this issue and how can it be corrected. I have not seen any other similar postings on this problem.

And then I finally located the answer and although a bit of a pain, this corrected the problem.
Solution: (Only practical with a few empty folders)
Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.
Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad. Import the images but keep them on the card.
Disconnect the CCK and hook up to your Mac with Iphoto running. Import the images and delete from the Ipad when asked.
