IPhoto 11 - Moving pictures

I am unable to move pictures around in a file. The events move but unable to select pictures and move in the same file. Please assist.
Thanks,
Don

And I don't get your "question" if there is one there
What you "want" to do is not critical if that is not supported by iPhoto - you can choose to use iPhoto or not - if you choose to use it then it works like it works and what you "want" has nothing to do with that
the general answer is
Please describe what you want to do
files have no meaning within iPhoto you have folders, albums, events and photos - no files
you can sort events manually (iPhoto '11) but you can not sort photos manually within an event - events are a very basic organization and are usually best left in their default date/time sort
For fine organization use albums - there you can manually sort and can nest using folders and albums - folders hold other folders or albums - albums hold photos

  • 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? 

  • Moving pictures in film rolls

    Has anybody figured out how to slow down the scrolling when moving pictures from one roll to another? I keep whizzing by the roll I want.

    This happens to me, too. I participated in a thread about this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3075268&#3075268
    although nothing has really corrected the problem for me. And while I have the utmost respect for Terence Devlin, who is probably correct 99.9% of the time, I'm still not totally convinced that this is a mouse problem. [Sorry, TD.] I just don't see it in other contexts, (not even in Finder) but it happens consistently in iPhoto, and only when trying to drag selected items.
    That being said, I have learned to live with and work around it. When moving pictures between rolls, I must keep all rolls closed except the one I select photos from. If the target roll is on screen with the beginning roll, there's no problem. If not, I may have to drop the photos in the closest roll to the target that I can manage. Like iPhoto leapfrog. Say I'm scrolling up. I may drop the photos into the highest roll on screen before iPhoto begins to hyper scroll. Then scroll the window to move that roll down, and drag them a second time upwards. Eventually the roll I'm in and the target roll will share the screen, and I can finish the job.
    I'll be watching with interest to see if you find a solution. [Now TD will come correct me. That's okay, I'm used to it. And like I said, he's usually right. So he's probably right. Try anything he suggests and let us know if it works. :-)]

    I am not see in iPhoto 09 pictures from mobileme gallery. in me iPhoto is Mobileme gallery and in this are various albums. But if I click to any album , that I am not see this pictures in this album and iPhoto say " Your mobileme account information as not correct-provided login is not valid " .

    Can you help me any , where is problem ? Thank you

    This is a long shot but try this:
    1 - go to your System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of your MMe account.
    2 - try logging in with a bad user name and password to clear the caches.
    3 - now log in with your correct user name and password.
    4 - launch iPhoto, select your MMe galleries one at a time and click on the publish button
    5 - check your online galleries to see if they can not be viewed.

  • I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7.  They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc.  Are they taking space in all of these locations?

    Are they taking space in all of these locations?
    It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture. 
    iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
    You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once.  But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
    The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive.  Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.

  • Macbook Pro iPhoto or Pictures?

    Just bought a MacBook Pro, could someone please explain to me the difference between the iphoto and pictures? Should I upload my pics to both? Or should I use one rather than the other? Thanks in advance!!

    iPhoto is an app that supports importing photos from a digital camera and is also a photo storage and management app. The iPhoto Library is stored in the OS X Pictures folder. If you mamage photos the good old Windows way - by manually creating folders, etc, you can store all your manually created folders of photos in the Pictures folder. Pictures is basically just a folder.

  • Lost iPhoto and pictures

    Tonight opened iPhoto and was prompted to select a library. I chose the library I thought was the correct one (I only have two choices iPhoto or Pictures) and now when iPhoto opens I have all the thumbnails but when I click to open them all I get is a black screen with an "!" mark.
    I have tried all the usual procedures such as opening with "Option & Cmd" buttons held and rebuilt
    all #1,2, & 6, or only "option" held to choose new library all to no avail.
    Furthermore, when I went back to my Pictures folder all I have is a folder which went clicked on opens iPhoto. If I right-click on this folder then I can see all my other contents. I have tried to select-all in the this folder to drag onto the Pictures folder but all I get is a pop-up saying it can't be opened because "Pictures" may be damaged or incomplete
    Using a cmd line from a previous problem I was able to get my "Pictures" folder back to what it should be (after several goes during which it kept reverting back).
    Can anyone offer some advice on how I can open up my photos please?

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Needing help with moving pictures around

    I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
    dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
    witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
    building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
    dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
    I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
    picture around the document window. The book say "place the
    insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
    insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
    type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
    the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
    the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
    somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

    Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
    have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
    the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
    something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
    hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
    screen”
    Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
    text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
    other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
    PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
    the page.
    In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
    Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
    properties dialog.
    Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
    etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
    passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
    code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
    That is what you will really need to understand before you
    can really get proficient at web design.
    At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
    actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
    cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
    borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
    “contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
    Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
    defined around your content.
    Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
    comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
    idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
    that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
    dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
    user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.
    That’s why this forum has more than 91,000 posts…

  • Bug in 2.1:  Moving pictures leaves stale thumbnail

    This used to happen a lot with the original Lightroom Beta, but
    rarely happened after the 2.1 RC.
    It has happened three times with 2.1 final when moving pictures from a folder into a sibling, aka from:
    g:\pics\unpro into
    g:\pics\misc
    But it doesn't always happen. Same symptom as before - the thumbnails don't get refreshed unless you restart lightroom.
    It hasn't happened yet when moving pictures to a different drive.
    - Frank

    It happened again and I did some experimentation.
    It does not always happen, but it is repeatable. I've now
    reproduced it about 8 times.
    Move one picture from one folder to another. Repeat until it happens.
    I did a 'Relaunch and Rebuild' and then restarted Lightroom, and I had to move about 20 pictures (one by one) before it reoccurred.
    What I am doing is dragging a picture from G:\pics\unpro into g:\pics\steve. I haven't done any changes to the pictures, I'm just organizing them a bit.
    When the problem occurs, I notice the following:
    I can see the moved picture in both folders, as if I had copied the picture, rather than moved it. Once I restart lightroom it is only in the correct folder.
    On the disk, the picture is correctly in the new folder, and does
    not exist in the original folder.
    Let me know if you want me to try anything else.
    - Frank

  • IPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.

    iPhoto, moving photo's to my document folder, and remove thumbnails from iphoto.
    How to? Please...I cut and paste items, it is removed from iphoto for a few seconds then they appear again.

    The photos that are appearing on the mini - are they photos taken with an iPhone or iPad? If so, open System Preferences on both computers and select the iCloud tab. On the mini, click the Photos checkmark off and on the MBP click the Photos checkmark on (if it isn't already), then start iPhoto and select Preferences. Select the Photo Stream tab and make sure Photo Stream is on.

  • I lost all my photos in iphoto and picture project

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.3.9, and the iphoto is version 4.0.3
    i emptied my trash, and then went through the applications and deleted the ones i don't use (such as PDA and palm pilot applications and the games that i will never play). After i was done, i went back to iphoto and all the albums and pictures were gone. I went into picture project (a nikon software) and those pictures were gone, but had the little boxes of blank pictures. My desktop originally had a picture on it that i downloaded from a camera was gone as well. when i logged onto another account those pictures were still there. When i logged back onto my account, my desktop picture came back, leading me to believe that my pictures are still there. But those are gone too. Is there anyway i can retrive my pictures? I really hope they are not gone! I have too many pictures...and only half of them backed up! =(

    i'm talking about the desktop trash. I don't know how to empty the iphoto trash.
    No, i didn't delete anything with iphoto. i know i can delete duplicates, and still keep one of the pictures, i have done that before. I did delete Chess, Deimos Rising, Ambrosia Software Web, Kinoma, Palm, PDA Shop Lists, PDA Money, PDA Safe ID, Splash ID, Splash Money, Splash Shopper.
    I logged under a different user name, and all those pictures were still in iphoto and picture project.
    No, i did not contradict myself. The desk top picture did come back, leading me to believe that all the photos were still there. However, when i checked the iphoto and picture project, those were still gone.

Please can someone help it took me 12 hours just today not counting yesterday between scanning & transferring with a flash drive then dating old family slides in my iphoto. I lost alot

    I was working with iPhoto downloading pictures
    Do you mean importing photos? If so what were you importing from? If it is a flash drive why not just re-import from it? Where did you scan them?
    As to backups - you really need to always have your backup running - without good backups you will lose all photos sooner or later
