Iphoto - organizing Pictures into albums

In iphoto, I drag photos to an album and it bounces back.  Album won't take it, like its full.  I've been doing it all night and all of a sudden I cant add anymore. Any help

Album won't take it, like its full.  I've been doing it all night and all of a sudden I cant add anymore.
Can you drag photos to albums, if you open a different iPhoto library? Try to create a new library, import a few photos, create an album. Can you add photos to this album?
If yes, try, if repairing your iPhoto library will help. Hold down the keys ⎇⌘, while launching iPhoto and keep holding them down, until you are seeing the First Aid panel:
Try all First Aid options in turn.  Before rebuilding, make sure you have a working backup.

  • After sorting my pictures into albums, I  deleted them from the camera roll, now they're all gone. Including the ones filed in the albums. Would it be possible to get them back ?

    after sorting my pictures into albums, I deleted them from the camera roll, includings the ones filed in the albums. Would it e possible to get them back ?

    A photo in the Camera Roll cannot be in an album unless the photo remains in the Camera Roll. Photos in an album or not duplicated. A photo in an album includes a pointer to the original photo stored in the Camera Roll. The Camera Roll is for temporary storage. Photos/videos can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    The Camera Roll is included with your iPhone's backup. If your iPhone's backup has been updated to include all photos that were in the Camera Roll and has not been updated since the photos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup. Do not update your iPhone's backup before doing so and decline the prompt to update your iPhone's backup as the first step after selecting Restore.

  • Importing iphoto 09 pictures into imovie 09 with ken burns movement!

    Im making a video on imovie 09 using still images i took and imported to iphoto. Then i import those iphoto pictures into imovie, BUT all the pictures have moving "ken burns" crop effects on them after i import them to imovie!!! i know how to fix it, by going to the "crop tool" and "ken burns" adjusting the start and end effect of this movement but my question is....
    how do i change this setting so I dont have to tediously use the cropping ken burns tool on every clip which will probably make all the images appear shaky??????

    Go to FILE/PROJECT PROPERTIES and you can set the default behavior when importing photos to the project.

  • Unable to move pictures into albums via iPhone

    the past few months i have not been able to move pictures from my camera roll into albums via my iphone...the albums show up, but they are not selectable. i have restored my phone, purchaced OS Lion, and have all my software up to date, and still nothing....can anyone help?

    You can place a Camera Roll photo in a user created photo album on the iPhone only. You cannot place a Camera Roll photo in an album transferred from your computer. You do that on your computer followed by a sync.

  • Can't move bunch of pictures into albums any more - iPhoto 6.05

    I have upgraded to iPhoto 6.05 and also got a new java version and other updates lately and ever since I can't move more than one photo at a time, which is extremely annoying. Has anybody encountered similar problems and found a solution? Thanx in advance, Sheep

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try deleting the Safari preference file, com.apple. Safari.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that will help Safari.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Iphoto combined pictures into a single event

    Iphoto took it upon itself to combine all my pictures before a certain date into one event. After that date and before another date, the thumbnails are missing. After that second date, everything is fine.
    I have trashed the plist,
    restored from a backup
    and rebuilt the library using iphoto and iphoto library manager.
    Iphoto library manager gave me some good results but left duplicates in the one large event and didn't split a lot of the events properly.
    Any other suggestions?

    Since rebuilding the library didn't help you'll have to resort to regrouping the photos manually back into Events. One method is to create Smart Albums based on specific time frames. Then select the photos in that smart album and create a new event with them.
    When that's done you can create a new library, open the old library in the Finder, go to the Originals folder and drag the new Event folders into the new iPhoto library. That will at least give you the events you created and leave out those duplicates (just import the new events that you created).

  • IPhoto puts pictures into megazoom when edited

    Has anyone found a fix for iPhoto when images are edited and then they go automatically into a megazoom when viewing?

  • Organizing Photos Into Albums

    I just got an iPhone 4 and its the first iPhone I've owned. I'm wondering if it's possible to organize my photos and downloaded images into different albums. I'm an organizer and it's driving me crazy that everything is lumped together. It may be a really simple process but it I just can't figure it out.

    First, you can only have one master sync album on PC's/itunes, so below is how to work around that problem:
    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
    Hope this helps...

  • Iphoto--Adding Pictures to album

    I have tried to add additional photos from the library to an existing album. But the images will not transfer. What am I doing wrong?

    Casey,
    Is it a Smart Album (purple icon with a gear)? You can't drag to a smart album; the photos must meet the conditions defined by the album.
    If a photo is already in the album it will bounce back when you try to add it again.
    If not, what happens when you drag the photos to the album?

  • Is there anyway to see/sort/seperate the  photos that I have not organized into albums?

    I have recently combined many Iphoto libraries into one and I am trying to organize my photos.  I started making albums after I imported and would would like to continue.... but I cant tell where I left off... and the giant import has now been turned into events.  Is there anyway to sort my events or photos so I can see the photos that have not been asigned to albums so I continue organizing them into albums.  I am using Iphoto 11.   Thanks

    File -> New Smart Album
    Album -> is not -> any

  • Organized pictures an hour ago, and now they're gone

    I'm so confused.
    An hour ago I was going through my photos in iPhoto, organizing them into events. I quit iPhoto and did other stuff.
    Then I reopened iPhoto ... and it told me it couldn't find my Library and asked if I wanted to start a new one. None of my pictures showed up in the Library. I tried Import, thinking maybe I could find the iPhoto library that had my pictures in it, but it wouldn't open the only one I could find, which was called Library.iPhoto.
    I can't find any of my pictures anywhere, not even by searching for them. What happened?

    It sounds like iPhoto lost the link to the iPhoto Library package. It is located in your Pictures folder. If iPhoto make a new library it probably is there also and named iPhoto Library_1. Check the Pictures folder to see if the library is there.
    If it is, check it's size via the Finder to make sure it contains your photos. Then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to Choose Library. Navigate to the Pictures folder and select the library.
    If that still doesn't help, try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • I received a photo album via email and would like to get the pictures into my iPhoto library

    A photo album was emailed to me.  How do I get the photo album pictures into an existing iphoto folder or into my iphoto library?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • When I create a new album, why does iPhoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums?

    When creating a new album, why does iphoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums?  I want all designated photos in the album i created..

    I'm guessing you're missing the album in the left hand pane by just a bit and thus creating new albums for each of the photo you're dragging.  Make sure the album is highlighted as in this screenshot (iPhoto 9.4.2) before releasing:
    A sure file way to get an album with the photos is to select the photos again and use the File ➙ New Album menu option
    and that will produce a new album with the photos that were selected.
