IPhoto vs iPhone's add to existing album feature

I initially created photo albums using iPhoto and then synced them to the iPhone via iTunes.
Then copied those photos to new albums on the iPhone using the add to existing feature of the iPhone.
When I unsync or turn off iPhoto syncing in iTunes all photos are also removed from the new albums that were created using the add to existing feature.
Thus, is there a way to prevent those photos from being deleted from the albums created on the iPhone?
Thank you for any help!

  • "Add to existing album" is missing in Photos app

    The Photos app on my iPad 2 gives me the option to add photos from the Camera Roll to a new album, but there is no "Add to existing album" option.  I know it should be there because I've used it before, and I can still see it on my iPhone 4.  But it has disappeared from my iPad.
    I'm using iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1.

    You cannot add photos that were synced to to the iPad from iTunes to another album as you have just found out.
    Only photos from your camera roll, which would include photos that you take with the iPad, photos saved from emails or photos saved from websites. Synced photos will stay in the albums that you synced them from on your computer.
    Synced albums cannot be changed and the photos in those albums cannot be deleted from the device without unselecting them in iTunes and then syncing again.

  • Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

    I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

    I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
    All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.

  • When I go to add photos into an existing album the albums won't allow me to select them. How do you fix this problem?

    When I go to select the photos then hit the arrow to add to existing album it brings up my albums but they are blacked out and won't allow me to select the album I need the photos to go. How do I make it so the photos can go into an album?

    Which albums are you trying to add them to ? You should be able to add them to new albums that you've created directly on the iPad, but you can't add photos to albums that were synced from a computer.

  • What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

    So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks.  I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
    On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
    Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

  • Iphoto add photo to existing album

    all I want to do is add a photo from the library to an existing album. I used to be able to simply drag the selected photo to any album. How do i do this?
    Dave

    David:
    It's still supposed to work that way. Are you able to drag a photo anywhere in iPhoto? If not it may be a problem with the Helvetica font. Check out this Apple KB document: Helvetica required to drag photos in iPhoto.
    What some users found to clear it up was to go in and deactivate the Helvetica font and then reactivate it. That seemed to trigger it or iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?

  • IOS4, iPhoto: How Do you Add a Photo in It's Own Album in the Photo App?

    Hi. The updated to iOS 4 erased one of my albums where I had a photo of Mother Mary in green monochrome as my wallpaper (green and black look for the iPhone). How do I add a new album into Photo App, put the image in that album and set it again as my wallpaper using Setting App? Thank you in advance.
    (I'm using iPhoto, 10.6.4 and iMac i7 (8GB))

    You create a new album in iPhoto, put whatever pictures you want in it, and then resynch to iPhone. You cannot create albums on the iPhone

  • Add Current Facebook Albums to iPhoto?

    Has anyone found a way to download your current facebook albums to iPhoto? I'd like to be able to do this so that I could add new pictures to them and have them sync back up to facebook instead of having to create new ones.

    I know this question has been tossed around a few times after looking at the existing threads, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to get iPhoto to recognize and sync an existing Facebook album without creating a new album and moving the photos over?
    no
    The problem with that is that I lose the initial post on the wall with the album and it also nullifies links I've shared via Twitter to the albums. I've even gone as far as look at possibly modifying the database data, but that seems pretty much impossible to do without corrupting it. I really like the idea of iPhoto syncing and managing Facebook albums, but it seems pretty ridiculous that I can't add existing albums regardless of the quality of the images in them. Anyone agree?
    it makes no difference what we users think - iPhoto is what it is - to make suggestions iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • Unable to Add Photo/Vid to Existing Album

    Hello,
    Racking my brain on this one and didn't find anything on a cursory search. 
    I am trying to add pics/vids to an existing album on my iPhone 5 w/iOS 7.  When I select the photo or vid from either albums or roll, select "Add to Album" all of my existing albums are grayed out and only the option to add to "New Album" is available.  How can I add a photo/vid to an existing album on my iPhone?  The workound I have used is to sync the iPhone with iTunes and and manually add the pic/vid to the existing album and then re-sync - cumbersome to say the least.
    Thanks!

    I have discovered that the problem is that the albums I was trying to add the new photos/vids were created on my computer and one is unable to add photos to such albums.  Creating a new album on my iPhone allowed me to add photos/vids to it on the fly.
    Thanks!

  • How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    How do I import or move multiple selected photos to an existing album in iPhoto 9.6? In previous versions I could select and drag multiple photos into an album. Now I can only move one photo at a time. Help!

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • In IPhoto or IPad, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with only edited photos. How do I keep it in or get it back to its original album?

    When using IPhoto for IPad, can I move photos from one album to another? For instance, when I edit a photo in an existing album, the photo is removed and placed in a new album with other edited photos. How do I keep it in or move it back to its original album?

    That will depend on the kind of album your photo is in.
    Most albums in iPhoto are created automatic by the way you are using and editing your photos, see: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkb9b1e2a
    When you edit your photo, the edited copy is added to the automatic "edited" album and the view switches to he edited album. But the photo should stay in its original album - do you see something different? Only if you want the edited photo in the camera roll and the photo strea as well, you have to save the edited copy to the camera roll again after editing, otherwise the camera roll will show the original and not the edted version.

  • In iPhoto (09) I can add a description to a photo which will display when running the slideshow, however when I sync the Album to my iPad and I run slideshow the description does not display, WHY?
