Locate a photo's 'album'?

My iPhoto library is gradually expanding and at times I forgot which album a photo is in, because some photos of mine belongs to different albums!
I have some albums used primarily for 'theme-focused' photos. For example, a photo could be in both Ocean AND Sky theme albums. I am looking for a way to find out which albums a photo is in. Any clue?

Cyberium_neo:
The only way I know of is to assign a keyword for each album and apply that keyword to the contents of the albums. Then activate the View->Keywords option.
Do you Twango?

Reinstall Photo Stream album

Having purchased & setup Apple TV this weekend, I want to stream my photos. I logged in to my AppleID and photostream is empty. I looked on my phone and can't locate the Photo Stream album. I 'deleted' iCloud and added iCloud back. I've seen all the help documents pointing me to the Settings -> iCould. I do NOT have an option for Photo Stream. I know I had it at one point after the iOS5 upgrade. Can anyone provide suggestions for 'reinstalling' the photo stream album (and connect it to iCloud)?

Thank you but to no avail. When I restarted the phone, went to Settings/iCloud, my appleID was pre-filled and waiting fo rmy password. I entered it and all the same options (as screen shot) were present.
I only have one iCloud account.
I believe the only change I made to icloud was added 'find my phone'. This morning, in an early attempt to troublshoot, I used iCloud.com 'advanced' option to RESET Photo Stream.
I am still unable to find any way to 'restore' the original iCloud options.

HT3149 When I click on a photo, is there a way to see where else it is located, like in which albums it is in?

When I click on a photo, is there a way to see where else it is located, like in which albums it is in?

In iPhoto '11 you can show the event a photo is in or show the image file in the Finder:
You can select a photo and click the triangle in the lower right corner. Then select "Show event".
To show the image file in the Finder use the "File" menu in iPhoto: File > Reveal in Finder.
But there is no direct way back to the albums. To find the photo in the albums you could use unique keywords for each album or flag the photo, then filter the abum you are interested in.

Changing the location to which iphoto & albums are stored/saved

how do I change the location to which iphoto stores photos and albums including all events rather than my computers hard drive without loosing any information?
thanks

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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Can I have 2 My Photo Stream Album on my iCloud Account?

Hi!
We have 3 Apple TV's set-up in our space in different locations and using 1 icloud account, just want to know if it's possible to have 3 different My Photo Stream Album so we have 3 different sets of photos on each apple tv. If YES, how? If no, is there any way to do that?
Thanks

No you can't. But what you can do is when you want to see your sons account just sign out of yours and sign in to his. Then when you want to use yours just sign in with yours. It will only take a minuet or so to do this. And you can save usage capacity by only having one

How to get in IPhoto chosen top photo of album presented in iOS

On Mac a photo can be chosen as top photo.
In Photos on iOS a random? photo is presented.

In fact, I find the following instructions easier to teach someone how to do it (because copying a link is not easy for everybody, many people will end up clicking on the link and then not know what to do):
1- Locate the Picasa Web Album you want to import
2- Click on the link "RSS" (in blue on the right side). This opens the album in RSS mode
3- Copy the url of the page (it doesn't matter that it now start with "feed://")
4- In iPhoto, open the File menu and select "Subscribe to Photo Feed"
5- Do a "Paste" and add (by typing): &imgdl=1
Then hit Enter
6- Wait for the album to display all images.
7- Select all and copy them to the iPhoto Library with Drag & Drop
8- Delete the Feed
(wow, I am stunned it makes 8 steps when spelling things out!)
It is interesting to note that, after step 2, if you add &imgdl=1 in the url and go there, you get what seems like the same page (the album in RSS), but the links to each photo are now hi-res (the photo name under each pic). Clicking one downloads the hi-res picture via the browser.
This is not satisfactory by itself as it would need to be done for each picture, and it doesn't put the picture directly into iPhoto, but I just find it worth noting.

Moving Photos within Album

The photos are jumping around when I am moving them to another location within the same album. It is hard to get them in the correct place. I am using 3.2.1 and have not had this problem until last week.

Hi Peggy. That should not be happening. As soon as you reposition an Image (by dragging), the sort order should change (automatically) to "manual" and your manual sort should stick. What sort order are you seeing in the sort-order drop-down at the top left of the Browser?
I can confirm that 3.2.1 on 10.6.8 works as it should on my machine.
Have your tried re-booting or doing any of the regular trouble-shooting?
Do you see the vertical green "drop line" when dragging an Image (but before dropping it)?

HT201077 Can only some subscribers to an iCloud Photo Sharing album post?

Seems like iCloud Photo Sharing is missing some key features. Or clarity.
I've created an iCloud Photo Sharing album, to share baby photos with family and friends.
I want to my wife to also be able to upload photos to this album, but not everyone else.
Can an iCloud Photo Sharing Album have 2 administrators?Or can we have individual subscriber settings to specify who gets to upload and who doesn't?
Do all subscribers see who the other subscribers are? Family dynamics dictate that some members should NOT see each other (or their comments), but I don't want to have to create an album for each of those people).
Do email (non-iOS) folks get an email notifications of newly uploaded photos? (families = many generations, some of which aren't iOS compatible) What's the fix?
Thanks!

Hi there Anthony Sbarro,
You may find the information in the article below helpful. If you delete the photos, they will only delete from the photostream.
iCloud: Shared Photo Streams FAQ
How do I delete photos from a shared stream?
If you are the owner of a shared stream, you can delete photos from the stream in the same way you delete any other photos from your iOS device, Mac, or Windows PC. The photos will be automatically deleted from the stream on all your devices and the devices of anyone subscribed to the stream. Any photos that were previously saved or downloaded from the shared stream to another location, such as the Camera Roll, will not be deleted from that location. Learn more about deleting shared photos.

I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4? Any advice or tricks?

I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4. Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up? Any tricks or advice?

Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

Hi,
It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

Is there a way to reorder the Photo Stream Albums on my iOS Device?

I have been searching for a way to change the order of my Photo Stream albums on my iPhone/iPad/MacBook Air to no avail. Is there a way to change the order that they are shown within the Photo Stream in my photos? Thanks

I've been looking for the same thing. It would seem to be a good feature for Apple to add.
I have found one workaround that may be helpful to you, although it's a bit of a pain. The images appear in the order that you add them to the stream. And you can select the images from the stream itself to add them again. So what I did is
1. Add all the pictures I need to the stream.
2. Determine the order I want them in.
3. From the stream, add the pictures again one by one (using "select" within the stream, then the little "send to" icon).
4. Delete the originals from the stream.
And this did the trick.
