IPhoto - album and sub-album -

Is it possible in IPhoto to create and title a main album and have it followed by individual sum-albums? -  In other words somthing like this:
ROSE (MAIN)
  RED  (SUB)
  YELLOW (SUB)
   PINK   (SUB)  
Thank you all for your help -

If you mean the main library shows all photos and the sub libraries show a portion of the main library, that is what events are for.  You can also create or select alternate photo libraries by holding down the option key when launching iPhoto.  Also see the iPhoto Library Manager app.

  • IPhoto-creating albums and sub-albums

    is it possible to create an album with sub albums?  For example, i travel to Italy and would like an album of italy but would like to organize specific tours into sub-albums.

    You can NOT nest albums - read my reply
    Folders hold albums and other folders - so you create an italy folder and put the spcific tour albums in it - you could have a Europe folder with Italy and other country folders in it and then albums in each - etc
    Folders hold albums - albums can not hold anything except photos
    Nothing in my reply said anything about putting albums in albums - you can not - it said you make folders and put albums in the folders - and you can put folders in folders
    Make a Europe folder - drag the Italy album to it - then drag the Spain album to it - continue as you please

  • Albums and sub-albums

    I would like to create an album ie: South Dakota and inside that heading I would like to list the places we have been ie: Mt. Rushmore, Spearfish Canyon, Reptile Gardens etc.
    Can this be done? I tried to make sub-albums but did not see a way.
    Thanks,
    Sue

    So it is better to set up everything in iPhoto first I take it.
    I would thing so in order for you to know exactly which albums should be grouped together in an iWeb page. In iPhoto you can create a folder in the left hand pane and add all the albums that would related to that one, i.e. South Dakota. In that folder add all of the albums you would want to be on the SD page in iWeb.

    To add new photos in a new photos page, i.e. the iWeb component of iPhoto's album, you would drag them into the photo's page for that album in iWeb. You can also add them to the iPhoto album so you're synced with iWeb.
    It probably would help if you made a graphical layout of the site showing the subject pages (South Dakota) and then the various photo pages below it.
    This screenshot below is what the iPhoto album page that I linked to earlier looks like in iWeb. The iPhoto Album page started out as a blank layout (not an album layout) and the two photo pages were created when I dragged the two albums from iPhoto onto it via the Media Browser:

  • How to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?

    What is the best way to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?
    I want to move it smoothly without hours of reconfiguring albums and Mobileme galleries.  Already have a timemachine backup of the older iMac with the iphoto library.

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • IPhoto Albums and MobileMe Albums - Synchronization (Sync)

    I am very interested in how the iPhoto and MobileMe operate together.
    I like that if I publish an album to MobileMe, those photos are then kept in sync with that MobileMe album and vice versa. If a change is made to the photo in iPhoto, the same change takes place in MobileMe. If a change is made in MobileMe, that change is pushed to the copy in iPhoto. I like this!
    But here is something I would like that I am having trouble accomplishing.
    I want to create an iPhoto album (smart or otherwise) and publish it to MobileMe. I would then like any photos ADDED to that album to also be published the same MobileMe album. Can this be done?
    Ideally, any photos also posted directly to the MobileMe album would be pushed back to the iPhoto album as well.

    No. Instead of adding the photo to the album just drag it into the MMe gallery and it will update the online gallery.

  • Updating sync between iphoto album and mobileme  album

    I have created a 'mobileme album' from an album in iphoto. However when i add a new photo to the 'iphoto album' it does automatically sync into the 'mobileme album'. Should this happen or do i need to recreate the mobileme album every time?

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    However when i add a new photo to the 'iphoto album' it does automatically sync into the 'mobileme album'. Should this happen or do i need to recreate the mobileme album every time?
    Neither
    Just drag the new photo(s) to the MobileMe gallery in the source pane on the left under MobileMe galleries (and to the original album too as a backup) it will update automatically - do not make additional changes while it is updating - this may cause problems and duplications
    MobileMe is updated when- and only when - you change the gallery in the MobileMe gallery section of your source pane.

  • Today as i selected an album to listen to on my Iphone 5, all the song in that album and other albums by the same artist skipped quickly across the screen and deleted everything by that artist.

    The exact same thing happened again when i selected another artist to listen to. This hasn't happened before, and i'm now concerned to listen to music in my Iphone incase it deletes my music again.

    I've tried to ad the songs like i did before on my pc, dragging them over to my playlist or library. Since I live in Norway, I have some difficulties with transferring to english, so it be some bad spelling.
    On the music that I can't get to my itunes, is a "mp3 - lyd" which in norwegian is a the same standard mp3 format. All of the files is in this format, even those that I'm able to transfer to itunes. Which is an album by an single artist.
    I know that itunes does not support all formats, which is why I always make sure that all of my music has the same format.
    So I will try to explain once more. Earlier today, I downloaded some new music, both albums and singles. And it's the singles I have difficulties to transfer to itunes. Neither dragging them nor by clicking "import/add" songs to library works. What happens when I try to do this, is that I get that circle thingy,(the circle who comes when the computer is working), and when it disappers, nothing happens and no files(of the singles) is transfered. And I'm going crazy, because I thought that I could do this without help, and noe I'm sitting here like a questionmark, and don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
    And, first of all, thank you so much for your time, and your links Limnos. Even though they were'nt the answers for my problem, thank you:) and I hope that you with the information above, may have an answer for me, or that someone else has.

  • HT1711 I bought an album and the "album only" is malfunctioning. Is it possible to just get that track fixed?

    I bought the Mutemath Armistice (Live) album and the only song that messed up, is Burden, which is an album only track. I was wondering if there was some way to fix the track so I can be a happy customer. Thanks.

  • IPhoto/iPod and Syncing Albums

    Using OS X.3.9 and iPhoto 6.x:
    When I sync iPhoto with my new iPod (video), will I be able to browse the photos on the iPod by the same Album names used in iPhoto? Will the iPod list my Albums?
    For example, can I present a slideshow of a certain Album on my iPod, then a totally different Album on the same iPod, etc.?
    Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    The people in the appropriate iPod or iTunes for Mac will probably be more likely to have your answer than here.

  • Copying itunes/iphoto library and playlists & albums to my new macbook pro

    First post so please be gentle.
    Hi there, I've just brought a new macbook pro and would like to transfer all my music and photos from my old powerbook g4 onto it. Including all the playlists in itunes and albums in iphoto. I did try the mirgration assistant but that doesn't seem to be able to do it. I've already copied all the applications I wanted by connecting them by firewire but need some advice before I attempt my music and photos.
    Thank you

    If you're wanting to do this manually all you need to do is…
    1) Copy your iTunes folder, which is in the Music folder in your home directory, to the same place in your MBP. This will include all of your music and playlists.
    2) To copy your preferences you need to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist to the corresponding place in your MBP.

  • [Your Music] Save artist including all albums and future albums

    There should be a quick and easy way to add an artist to your collection completely—not just all their albums now, but the albums they release in the future. Then when you are browsing through Your Music later you'll discover new things from your favourite artists.

    I'm new to spotify and after seeing I can add my own music, was about to subscribe. However I tested it for a bit first and was dismayed to see there's no option to add everything from an artist to my music (neither streaming nor locally). Just to clarify, it would be nice for me because I want to have all the music I like on my phone, using a big SD card, and play it all together randomly like a radio station with only artists that I like. And since I've never used spotify for real before, it would be horrible to add album by album. I just want to listen to the few artists I like, everything they have old and new as gets released! Spotify already lets me add my own music for the ones not available, save locally, create playlists and get notified about new releases. The only thing that's missing is a way to add everything from an artist.

  • How do I recover missing iPhoto albums and pictures?

    A week ago, all my iPhoto Albums disappeared that normally would appear in the left iPhoto column under LIBRARY and RECENT. When I opened the iPhoto app from both the Dock and the Applications folder, an iPhoto window opens and asks if I would like to set up my iPhoto Library. The first few times this happened, I ignored the request and tried again with the same results.
    I tried unsuccessfully finding and restoring the iPhoto Library Database from my external 3TB Time Machine hard drive. I couldn't find any full iPhoto Library Database backup and my backups go back a year. Instead, all I found and restored are photos and videos that were saved outside of iPhoto on the Desktop and in hard drive folders. Several months ago, there was a similar occurrence, but I was able to restore the Library Database. With no luck this time, I eventually allowed iPhoto to start up as if it was being installed for the first time and I never had the option to load an earlier backup Library Database or choose an automatic restore from an earlier version or backup.
    While trying to go through various recovery choices with iPhoto, I started getting iCloud login popups asking for my Apple ID and password. I kept cancelling these because I had not previously set up iCloud. When iCloud messages persisted, I finally used my ID and password and the popups stopped. I'm clueless why this was happening and I remain clueless as to what occurred after I tried many cancellations, then finally entered my ID and password. Since then (two days ago), there has been no evidence of iCloud operating or requiring my attention.
    After holding the command+option keys to start the iPhoto app, I've tried all the radio button options, one at a time, to Repair, Rebuild, Recover, Examine with no luck. Instead, all that is found are the same files I already mentioned. When I start iPhoto now after allowing it to start up from scratch, the Library Database shows iPhoto Library Recovered Photos (2 photos), Resources (176 photos), a CD backup, Desktop, and lots of short collections of media, resources, thumbnails, and other graphics images I don't recognize and are probably Invisibles. The only photos that appear when Photos is clicked in the left colum of iPhoto are photos that were apparently imported from backed up desktop and hard drive folders. All the photos that were previously imported to iPhoto and stored in iPhoto albums no longer appear individually or in albums in the left column of iPhoto.
    I'm using a one-year old iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 with iPhoto '11 Version 9.2 (626).
    I'm reasonably confident the phtoos and albums are recoverable somewhere, but I'm at a loss to find out where. I've been running Macs since 1984 and this is the first time I have been totally unable to explain or recover from an OS, hardware, or app-level problem.
    Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated. If absolutely necessary, I could pack up all my gear and take it to an Apple office 23 miles away for help.

    My problem was not so much the loss of pictures, but the loss of their virtual association into albums I created because the albums were no longer appearing when iPhoto was started. I was reluctant to do any reinstalls of the OS, Tme Machine, or iPhoto because I was confident the existing installs were as they should be. Instead, I explored earlier Time Machine backups of iPhoto-related files and folders. I tried several different files/folders to see what I could find when I restored and opened them. To my delight, I found an earlier "iPhoto Library (original)" that, once I restored it to my desktop, iPhoto automatically found the virtual album-photo associations that existed prior to the earlier loss of albums; the restored albums appea as they should in the left column of iPhoto. This "fix" was not intuitively obvious to me, but I was pleased it worked.
    A simple iPhoto explanation through iPhoto Help would have been very helpful if the explanation would have said iPhoto Album and Smart Album photo associations are logical, not physical, and the associations and album names are store in the iPhoto Library folder.
    At this point, I'm hesitant to move the restored "iPhoto Library (original)" from the desktop, perhaps to the Applications folder, because I don't want to run the risk of undoing what seems to be working. Should I leave this on the desktop or move it?

  • IPhoto 5 deleted my albums!

    I started iPhoto 5 for the first time today. Previously, I had all my pictures organized under a folder called "Albums," under the usual "pictures" folder. iPhoto 5 asked me if I wanted to transfer the albums to iPhoto 5, and I said yes. However, only some of the albums were transferred. Other albums that I had created and placed in my albums folder without using iPhoto disappeared completely. Not only do they not show up in iPhoto, but they are also no longer on my hard drive. The entire folder is gone. What more, my organization is completely gone; I had all my folders organized by date and subject, and instead of bringing the pictures in the way I had them organized (ie, if I had a folder called "Christmas 1999," bringing that in as an album called "Christmas 1999"), it brought the pictures in by when they were added into the computer. So now I am VERY VERY irritated at having lost not only my organization, but hundreds of pictures! What the heck is wrong with iPhoto 5?

    Hi Liane,
    You never used iPhoto before?
    The Albums folder you made yourself in the finder?
    When did iPhoto ask you to transfer the Albums? I have never heard of that before.
    If you had an earlier version of iPhoto and upgrade to version 5, when you open it for the first time it will ask to upgrade your library. Is that what you meant?
    The albums you placed yourself in the Albums folder will not import when the library is upgraded. You have to import them into iPhoto yourself.
    since am still not sure what you are talking about and instead you mean you imported your whole Albums folder with albums you did yourself and not with iPhoto read the following:
    Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
    To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
    Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
    A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
    To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
    Go to File>new album from selection.
    You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
    Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
    Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
    Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
    Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
    Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
    Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
    Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
    Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
    One other way you can import a folder of images and have an Album created for it as the same time it is imported as a roll in the Library view:
    Drag each folder of images into the source column of iPhoto. When you see the plus sign, drop it in the source column.
    An album will be created in the source column, and the roll that the album was created from will be in the library view window.
    Further more, the organization of the iPhoto Library in the Finder is different than how it is within iPhoto where you do your own organization creating albums, folders, etc.
    This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
    It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.
    If you can clarify more if you were using iPhoto before, if the albums folder you were taking about was in the Finder in the iPhoto Library folder or in the Pictures folder,etc.
    If the album folder you were taking about was in the iPhoto Library folder, then that folder just had aliases to the images that were in the albums in iPhoto 4 and that album folder is no longer used by iPhoto and is usually deleted on an upgrade or rebuild of the iPhoto Library.
    Hope this helps!

  • Albums and Folders missing on sidebar

    In iPhoto I created Albums and Folders for various subjects on the iPhoto Sidebar.
    One of these folders was for photos that I would display on AppleTV (first generation).
    I don't see a way to duplicate custom Albums and Folders on the new Photos App.
    I particularly want to re-create a folder for pics to be displayed on AppleTV.
    Thanks for any ideas on this!

    Do you have the sidebar in Photos activated? If not use the key combination of Option+Command+S to toggle it open and closed.
    The Events in iPhoto at the time of conversion will be in a folder titled "iPhoto Events" and the albums under that folder.
    You can create new folders and and albums with the File menu
    drag whatever photos you need onto the album icon in the sidebar. Or select the photos and use the New Album menu option.

  • For 10 years I've been keeping my photos in iPhoto in "Albums". Now that I have Aperture 3.5 I began copying (in iPhoto) photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct?

    For 10 years I've been keeping my photos in iPhoto in "Albums". Now that I have Aperture 3.5 installed, I began copying my photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct? If this is correct, I would expect that I can then delete my albums with photos in iPhoto since my photos are now in Aperture projects. Correct?

    iPhoto and Aperture are having an inconsistent terminology:
    For an introduction to Aperture's terminology see Kirby Krieger's great user tip:    
                 The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
    iPhoto's events correspond to "Projects" in Aperture.
    Albums and smart albums are called the same in both applications.
    iPhoto Projects (books, cards,.. ) are "Products" in Aperture.
    I began copying my photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct? If this is correct, I would expect that I can then delete my albums with photos in iPhoto since my photos are now in Aperture projects. Correct?
    Your events should show as projects in Aperture and your albums as abums.You should not need to do any moving around, but betetr do not delete any photo anywhere in aperture, until you are sure about the storage structure.
    Like in iPhoto, there are library items that contain the images (events in iPhoto, projects in Aperture). Each photo is in exactly one project in Aperture. And there are library items, that can referenced the same photo in its project, without duplicating or storing it, albums ans smart albums.
