IPhoto and Podcast questions

Hello,
Just got my brand new MacBook Pro, its a real screamer. I like it.
I transferred all my docs and apps from my PowerBook G4 using a firewire cable. No problem, after 90 minutes everything was there. Nice.
However, I have a couple of problems. When I update my iPod w/video 60GB in the MacBook Pro, iTunes tells me: "Podcasts on the iPod 'xxx' cannot be updated because all of the podcasts selected for updating no longer exist." I can access and update my subscribed podcasts via iTunes Ok, so I don't know what is going on.
The second issue is that in iPhoto I cannot drag and drop a photo from my library directly to the desktop. Before, with my PowerBook G4, when I dragged a pic a green plus sign showed up and when released on the desktop, the pic copied automatically there. This doesn't happen with my MacBook Pro. Is there a setting somewhere for this?
Thanks for any help in advance.
15.4 MacBook Pro 1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Any ideas, please.

IPhoto and iWeb Question

If you create an album in iPhoto and you decide to also publish it as a MobileMe Gallery you will see both in the left hand sidebar in iPhoto - the regular album and the published album - all is well.
You are able to drop EITHER of these into an iWeb photopage. Here is teh question:
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using one of these albums as "the iweb one"?
I ask as I dropped a gallery which is posted on MobileMe and then WITHIN iWeb I started to delete some of the pictures within that album - not sure if that updates the album in iPhoto/MobileMe or not but it made me think that perhaps this isn't the best way to do it. Any thoughts appreciated.

Steve:
If you create a MMe gallery from an album you will have both the album and MMe gallery in the left hand iPhoto pane. The MMe gallery icon can be seen in the Media browser in iWeb but the photos are not viewable nor is it able to be dragged into any iWeb page. You need either an album or event to be able to drag into iWeb.
If you drag an album into iWeb and then delete photos from it the album in iPhoto is not affected nor would the MMe gallery created by that album.

IPhoto and iPad question.

I am using iPhoto on my iPad. How can you create an Album in iPhoto? I can share, email, creat journals, etc....but how can I take photos uploaded on my iPad sitting in photo stream, and creat an album out of them?

As far as I know you can't use home sharing to view photos in the iPhoto on the iPad, you will need to copy the photos onto the iPad - which you can do by connecting the iPad to your Mac, selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then using the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which photos to sync.
There may be third-party photo apps that support browsing a directory on your Mac

Smart playlists, grouping, and podcasts question

Hi I listed to a lot of podcasts, and have them grouped using "Grouping" feature like Home, Money, Health, etc. I then have a smart playlists that have the following settings:
Podcast is yes, playcount is 0, and grouping is 'Home' (or money or whatever)
The problem I am having is when new podcasts are downloaded, they DO NOT inherit the grouping setting for that podcast!
So every day, I have to go to each podcast, and reset the grouping to Home (or whatever it is) -
How I permanently set the grouping for each episode to have the correct grouping?
Thanks in advance,
Ndimitru

Oh, you got it!!! I'd never noticed "Playlist" as a parameter in the smart playlists! Suddenly all kinds of possibilities open up! It did work the way you suggested but I decided to take a different tack. I created a 4-5 star "rock" playlist and a 4-5 star "alternative" playlist and then created a third smart playlist that includes the first two playlists! Now I can just continue creating smart playlists that include only songs I rate 4-5 stars in all of my 51 genres and create composite playlists to my heart's content! OK, I wouldn't do that. Once I get over 25 genres, it'd be easier to go back to the subtraction method. ; )
Thanks for your help Diane! You're brilliant!

Nano 2nd generation and podcasts question

I am using the latest version of iTunes with Windows XP. When my nano 2nd gen is connected, I am unable to drag and drop podcasts from my library into the nano.
When I drag and drop a podcast, it "appears" to be copying, however it does not copy over to the device. Any ideas?

thealexness wrote:
i don't believe iPod nanos can play podcasts because technically they are "videos"
This is incorrect. Some podcasts are videos and some are just audio (usually mp3). The first and second generation Nanos can play audio podcasts just like any iPod and like most mp3 players. Third generation iPods should be able to play most video podcasts. However, despite the name "podcast", not all video podcasts work on iPods. The video has to be correctly formated.

Question regarding iphoto and folders

I am a Mac newbie (9 months) and quite happy expect i freeze all the time after i installed lion, but that is for a different thread.;)
I had all of my pictures on an external hard drive. I had them organized in folders by year (also had a Year/edited for family photos we changed) and then by date/event...ie, 2011 04-05 Easter Dinner at Dad's.
When I got my macbook pro, I hooked up the hard drive and iphoto took care of importing all the pictures. (i have upgraded to iphoto 11). At first, I LOVED it. Putting face names in the pictures, etc, but after a while i got tired of having to reorganize them to find pictures the way i used to. I have over 15,000 pictures and renaming (even with the batch option) and moving them, and fixing dates, etc was becoming overwhelming. I found myself longing for my very simple folder organization. So i went to look for the folders, eventually found them and found out there were folders for originals, modified, thumbnails, etc. and when i went in my originals, they weren't in folders I had originally had on my external drive.
My wife, who is our picture editor, preffers photoshop and i have a windows laptop that i want to use for nothing other than pictures.
So......my question is:
How can i best take my photo's and put them back on a hard drive and then transfer them to the other laptop? Is there anyway to recover my old file system (deleted off the hard drive, except for an old backup but i have added thousands of pictures and have no way of telling which ones are in iphoto are old or new). I am fearful that if I just copy iphoto to the hard drive that the windows laptop will not read them, or that it will still show up with all of the different folders (original, modified, thumbs, etc)
And/or, is there a program to manage pictures for my macbook pro that will keep photos in folders more similarly to how i did before, so it will be easy to move pics from one laptop to the other.
Thanks!!!!

1. You know that iPhoto can do all this.
2. You can sort by Date -> View Menu -> Sort Photos.
3. You can search by date -> Click on the Search icon and select calendar. Then you can find all the pics from any day, month or year
4. You can search by date using Smart Albums too.
5. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
6. No there is no way to export back to your previous system. It's gone. You could have easily imported while mirroring that system, but it's too late for that now.
7. To get Photos out of iPhoto: File -> Export. Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
8. iPhoto can run a Referenced Library (where you have your own folder system) but I don't recommend it - especially for people unfamiliar with iPhoto and Macs. It also adds no extra functionality at all. It's just dumb storage.

Suggestions for archiving an iPhoto library? (and more questions)

Ok, so here is my issue:
Over 12,000 photos
Over 65GB
New camera that doubles the average file size of most previous pics to ~3MB
I've thought about starting a new library and archiving the current one, but there is one thing I am scared of: having an old library sitting around and not getting progressively updated. The times I have had problems with my library have been when skipping between versions of iPhoto and the library essentially gets "combo" updated (not the program itself, but when it updates the library files as it often does).
I don't think I would like to access the library from an external. It was a mess when I did it with iTunes, and regardless of available space, I think a new library that doesn't have any left over data from when it was started in 2002-2003 would be a good idea.
With that out of the way:
What are your ideas?
What have you done for this?
Just in case there is a drastic change like Final Cut X, or it is dropped like iWeb/iDVD in 10 or 100 years in the future, how can I make a clean backup that does not rely on iPhoto? ("show package contents" is just messy as I have many modified and don't require the originals in those cases.).
Any thing else that I haven't thought of, or any sites you could point me to or personal experiences with this would be great. Thank you!

There are several different questions in there.
I've thought about starting a new library and archiving the current one, but there is one thing I am scared of: having an old library sitting around and not getting progressively updated.
Simple solution: keep progressively updating it? In other words, use it all the time. Move your existing Library to an external drive.
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
Think of it this way: You have a Master Library which contains everything and another which contains more current material.
I don't think I would like to access the library from an external. It was a mess when I did it with iTunes, and regardless of available space, I think a new library that doesn't have any left over data from when it was started in 2002-2003 would be a good idea.
There is no reason not to use an external as described above, This is also true of iTunes. I have no idea why you might regard it as a benefit not have data from 2002. It's much more convenient to have all the data in one Library.. If it was a mess when you did it with iTunes then respectfully I suggest that maybe you didn’t do it right . My iTunes Library runs to hundreds of gigs so it has to reside on externals, and does with no problems.
Getting Photos out of iPhoto is simple and safe: File -> Export. You can choose to export Masters. Or just current versions and so on.
Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.

Iphoto has a question mark over it and I can't open it. What should I do?, iphoto has a question mark over it and I can't open it. What should I do?

iphoto has a question mark over it on my tool bar and I can't open it. What should I do?

No, I can't see, to see it. It was working ok a week ago. Do you think I could have accidentally have deleted it from the applications folder?

Workflow integration with Aperture or iPhoto, and storage/deletion questions.

I have been using my iPad to download and view photos when I am travelling. I liked the fact that I could delete bad photos or do basic edits like crops and straightens in the "Photos" app and those edits would be saved when I transferred the photos to Aperture. And furthermore, the edits would be shown in Aperture as edits with the ability to revert back to the original or modify those edits later (for example if I wanted to change a crop or fine tune a straighten). This is an example of nearly perfect workflow integration, only problem is that the tools are pretty basic, for example the straighten tool requires an awkward gesture and has no control for fine tuning.
Now when I bought iPhoto for iOS I figured it would be a more advanced version of that except with more complex editing abilities. However, when I make my edits in iPhoto for iOS, no matter how I import my photos onto my mac there seems to always be two different versions of each photo rather than having both the original and the edit combined like when I edit directly in the "Photos" app. And there's no way to fine tune the edits once imported into iPhoto or Aperture like there is when I edit the photos inside of the Photos app. Is this the correct behavior, and if so, is there anyway to make iPhoto for IOS behave more like the Photos app editing mode in terms of workflow integration.
Also, I am unsure how the photos are stored in iPhoto for IOS. If I have a bunch of freshly imported photos in my "Photos" app's film roll, and then I edit them all in iPhoto for iOS, I now have two versions of each photo - one in iPhoto and one in the film roll. If I want to delete some photos to save space, can I delete all of the originals in the Film Roll and just keep the edits in iPhoto until I can sync with my Mac, or will that delete it in both places? Manually saving each edit as a new photo in the Film Roll and then deleting the original is tedious. Is the iPhoto app's library only storing the edited versions while the film roll is only storing the originals? Seems kind of like a weird way to handle things, and very unintuititive for those of us used to either iPhoto or the iOS film roll method of editing.
I'm a fairly advanced user and all of this is pretty confusing to me. It seems like I might just have to ignore iPhoto for iOS and go back to my old method of editing in the Photos app for workflow integration purposes, but I wanted to check to see if I was missing something or doing something wrong first before giving up on iPhoto for iOS.

Hello Robert. wow, dense prose...
this wil be more transversal.. hope you'll forgive me.
iPhoto has several shortcomings that other people might point out. I'll just mention a few.
when you adjust the image, using the adjustement HUD that floats around just like the one in aperture, you're making destructive pixel changes. True, iP 6 has a way of keeping the original untouched, but the two images will live separate lives (in albums, etc). Furthermore: once you move to the next picture you want to enhance, all the adjustment HUD sliders return to zero. This means that you'll never be able to return to an image and visualize the changes you made to the picture looking at the sliders. You'll have to guess. and restart from scratch.
About quality: the adjustement sliders in Aperture are waaay more subtle. iPhoto sliders impact the image in a very visible way.... as you "touch" will immprove, you might start to feel that adjusting with iPhoto is a bit gross.
File renaming: personnal opinion: don't bother. set your camera to increase numbering always... and if possible choose a meaningful prefix (few cameras allow that, the Nikon D200 does). beyond that, I don't have time for this, and don't need it... keywording images is a much more effective way of making them easier to locate. my own view. others will disagree.
duplicates: lots of people have identified this shortcoming in aperture. considering in version 1.5 they took the time to be able to identify referenced masters in a pretty comprehensive way (using a bunch of data like name+ date/time of capture to reconnect to a lost master), I'd be really surprised if the next major version doesn't fix that.
Aperture accepts to import/reference your iPhoto folder but I don't think the former will see changes made in the latter..?
just a few ideas.... HTH

ITunes plays videos and podcasts when I click on music.

Hi all I have a problem.
when i click on music in the left menu. I notice when playign through my music set to randome that i get all media including podcasts, mpe books and other things that i woul dnot expect to be showing. I just want to randomly cycle through my music not listen to the books and podcasts etc.
is there a way to resove this issue.
OS: OSX 10.9.2, Mavericks
Itunes: 11.1.5 (s) 64-bit
Thanks for any ideas, tips, tricks and all you wish to share to help resolve this.
Edit: A good way to fix this would be able to select the type of media so it shows up in the right place. eg when importing or editing the album, file, cd podcast etc be able to select what type of media it is eg music, video, podcast, books and have the catogries show. only in what is selected. I have not come accross this feature.

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
You may need a computer app like the free HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible with the iPod.

IPhoto, iCloud Photos, QTKitServer-iPhoto and QTKitServer-Aperture all hanging

iMac mid-2011, 8 GB RAM, 1TB Internal Hard Drive, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9, iPhoto 5, Aperture 3.5
My iPhoto library, iCloud photos and some Mac OS X Mavericks file called QTKitServer-iPhoto and QTKitServer-Aperture keep hanging and not responding. Tried repairing permissions and repairing iPhoto library multiple times. Tried re-downloading Mavericks and that did not fix it. Called Apple Support. They said they could not help me beyond what I had already tried (Apple Online Support has really gone downhill since the last time I called) and to go to my local Apple retail store to see a Genius.
After running hardware tests, the Genius told me that my iPhoto library was too large and that was what was causing iPhoto and iCloud photos to hang. Even though he acknowledged that the QTKitServer operating system file is not supposed to hang. The Genius put in an additional 8 Mb memory to see if adding more memory would help (apparantly iPhoto is supposed to give back some memory when you close it and it does not). So Apple is not flushing memory when an App is closed. Apple's apparent solution is to add more memory that you have to purchase. However, the same three files kept not responding even with the additional memory. So I passed on the additional memory until I get the iPhoto problem solved. He also said my external hard drive, a WD 2TB hard drive that I bought from the same Apple retail store two or three years ago, looked like it was failing because there were lots of disk I/O errors in the system log, even though the drive appears to work fine and disk utility reported no problems when I ran Verify Disk on the external WD drive two days ago. I do not use this drive hardly at all (I backup my iMac to my Time Capsule), exept to keep a backup copy of my iPhoto library and Documents folder, and it has lots of original pictures that are not in my existing iPhoto library. I copied my iPhoto library and Documents folder to it last night and they seemed to copy fine.
So if my iPhoto library is really too big, and that is what the issue is, my problem is that there is no apparent way to break up my existing iPhoto Library into multiple small iPhoto libraries, without losing all of my keywords, titles, photo edits, event names, album names, folders and projects etc. The last time I tried breaking up my iPhoto library into smaller iPhoto libraries, even though I told iPhoto to export keywords and titles, it did not. And the Genius did not know if it would work now or not.
My question is to those of you who have large iPhoto libraries and are using Mac OS X Mavericks and iCloud Photos - how big are your iPhoto libraries? What is too big? Does anyone have an iPhoto library the size of mine that is working fine (who is also using Mac OS X Mavericks and iCloud)? When I talked to Apple online support, they said big iPhoto libraries are 100,000 photos and up. The Genius said anything over 1,000 is big. That's quite a spread. Currently I have 24,000 photos, most of which have been edited in some way or another, and about 1/2 of which have new titles, mulitple keywords assigned, faces and places assigned, etc., since I imported the original master photos. The Genius told me to duplicate my existing iPhoto library, create a new iPhoto library, import all of the folders in the iPhoto database except the Masters folder, and see if iPhoto still hung. If it did, he said it was all the data attached to the photos that is the problem, in which case I would need to create another new iPhoto library and import only the Masters file (images only). I think if I import only the Masters from my existing library, I will lose not only all of my keywords and titles, but also all of my photo edits, event names, album names, folder names, projects etc.
So I wasted an entire afternoon at the Apple retail store, only to buy a new external hard drive (that I may not even need), was told to buy more memory (that did not solve the problem - I passed on that), and I am no further ahead than I was when I went in. I need to know if there is any way that I can break up my iPhoto library into smaller libraries and retain all of the metadata and photo edits?
Finally, when I got home, I discovered that my husband with whom I had shared some of my photo streams, still had photos showing in shared photo streams that I had removed from iCloud two days ago. It removed them on my iMac - the place where those streams originated, but apparently left the thumbnails in the shared photo streams of everyone that I had shared the photos with. As soon as I clicked on an actual photo on my husband's iMac, the photo suddenly vanished and all the photo thumbnails in the stream did too. But the empty shared photo stream still remained on my husband's iMac and he had to physically say "Unsubscribe" to get it to go away. So something is not working right with iCloud photos, which is no doubt why iCloud photos is one of the files that keeps not responding.
Then, when I set up my iMac again this evening, and looked at iCloud on my iMac, all of my photo streams (not just the four that I had removed two days ago) were gone! And when I went into Aperture, the photo streams were all there, but with zero photos in them. Now last night when I boxed up my iMac to take to Apple, those photo streams were all there and they all had photos in them. So where did they go? And why, when you are the originator of a photo stream, and you tell iCloud to remove the photo stream, it says that it does but it leaves remnants of it with the other people you have shared it with? It seems to me that iPhoto, iCloud, and the fact that Apple is not flushing memory when an app closes is the problem with my iMac, not the size of my iPhoto library, or my external hard drive, or the fact that 8Gb of memory is apparently no longer enough memory for decent response with Mavericks (which I thought was designed to help solve some of the memory issues that OS X has).
I need help and help is apparently nowhere to be found at Apple.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?

If you're using iPhoto 5 as you say then, yes, 24k photos is heading close to the Limit of 25k. iPhoto 6 is good for 250,000 images, iPhoto 11 is good for 1,000,000.
I'm going to guess that's a typo and that you have iPhoto 9.5.
I've simply never heard of "too many photos" causing the problem you describe. You don't need more memory. You don't need to break up the Library. "Flushing Memory" is a non-isssue. One of the big improvements in 10.9 is in memory management.
There are a couple of ways to break up a Library while preserving everything. It's dead easy with Aperture - export projects as Library - you can do it with iPhoto simply by duplicating the Library and deleting from the two libraries or use iPhoto Library Manager.
But, as I say, 24k is a small Library. My main library is more than twice the size of that.
Are Aperture and iPhoto using the same Library?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

HT4710 Updates for iPhoto and iMovie in the Mac App Store

Hi,
I recently bought a new computer running Lion. When I started using the computer, I opened the Mac App Store and signed in with my Apple ID (the same one I've always used for buying apps from there, music from the iTunes store, and apps for my iPhone). I am able to easily access and download my old purchased apps to my new computer without a problem. However, in the updates section it shows updates available for both iPhoto and iMovie, but when I go to update them I get this message, "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." iPhoto and iMovie came on the new computer, and the only Apple ID account that I have ever used is the one that I am currently signed in under. Does anyone have any idea how I can get these updates, or at the very minimum, get rid of them so that they do not show up anymore (frankly, I find the red circle very annoying, and I don't really use either of these apps so I'm not too concerned about them).
Thanks!
Sorry, I found a few other questions about this same thing after posting, so I'll try those solutions.

Open iTunes on the new Mac, sign into your account and view your account information. There is a section for Purchase History where you can view the invoices for everything that you have ever bought from the iTunes stores and the Mac App Store.

Is there a way to use iPhoto and *not* have it import photos?

Hi there,
I'm transitioning from a PC to a Mac and everything is going fairly well -- overall a better user experience. One question I have is, is there a way to use iPhoto without having it import photos? My main issue is that currently iPhoto imports all the photos that I want to view/edit in iPhoto and copies them to it's own folder structure. I like to manage my pictures in a folder structure that I define, so I already back up my photos to another location and now I'm finding that iPhoto is just duplicating the pictures that I already have where I want them, sucking up precious space on my SSD.
So is there a way for me to just point iPhoto to a folder, make my edits on those photos, and have iPhoto automatically save those changes to the original folder I pointed it to, instead of duplicating the photos in it's own folder structure?
It occasional things like this that makes me miss some Windows features. In this case, I miss Windows Photo Gallery.

Hm, ok so if I edit my photos (adjust brightness etc) in iPhoto and then export it, does it export with the brightness changed, or does it just export the original?
It exports whichever you choose - the edited version or the original.
However, am I the only one with trust issues with importing all my photos into iPhoto? I'm scared the library will get corrupted, etc.
NO you're not the only one. The protection against any data corruption is a good back up, and you need that for any data on any computer running any OS. But in the case of iPhoto, remember too that the original files are stored exactly as they are imported, in folders, in the filing system.
that when I go to export the photos, there's a LOT of duplicate file names that the export chokes on, which makes it very tedious, no, painful, for me to export a large number of photos.
Explore the options under File Name when you export from iPhoto using the File -> Export command

Manually migrating iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion..

Hi all,
I received a shiny new iMac yesterday and in my haste to get it up and running, I began to run the migration assistant on wi-fi. Unfortunately, my 2006 macbook model is so old that my firewire cables don't actually fit the firewire port on the back of the iMac!!
11 hours later, there was still 40 hours left to go. At this point I manually quit the migration assistant. Partly because I have to work and to work I need to use a computer and partly because I realised that I don't want all the old crud from my previous system.. all I want is my iTunes (songs, apps, playlists etc) and my iPhoto to migrate.
The original admin account that the migration assistant was going to replace was still there. Everything seems to be working fine... I did a quick repair of disk permissions and all seems fine. So, I think I flirted with danger by quiting the migration assistant, but danger doesn't seem to have flirted back.
I've searched high and low on the web and I can't find any advice on migrating just your iPhoto and iTunes from Snow Leopard to Lion. I did read a post somewhere (relating to a migration to Leopard) where someone wrote that, for iPhoto, you simply had to replace your iPhoto Library in your pictures folder on the destination machine and then simply start iPhoto. iPhoto would upgrade the databases etc and all would be fine in the world. I cannot find a post online that suggests that this is also the case for Lion.
Can anyone here give me some hints on how to manually migrate the iPhoto and iTunes libraries over (and still preserve playlists in iTunes, albums/events in iPhoto etc)?
I figure that I cannot be the only person in the world who wants a "fresh start" on their machine, with the exception of iPhoto and iTunes.

Resident apple gurus at work have advised me to use the migration assistant and plug an ethernet cable between machines.
I'll give this a go and then go through the process of removing and cleaning up whatever old data I can.. but if someone posts a response to this question for me, I'll happily roll back in time-machine and go again in a cleaner way. :-)

How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday. My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac. I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders. However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized. They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all.
So my questions are:
1. How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
2. How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
Thanks!

1. How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream. YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
See this link: iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
On the same iPad? Do you mean on the same mac?
If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
See this support document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad? Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .
