Locate pictures in albums

Hi, like many people, I have some pictures that are part of several albums. As my folders- albums become more numerous, it gets harder and harder to find these pictures. There must be a way to find locations of pictures. How can I find where "photo x" is - that is, the albums I have placed it in. In Itunes this is easy - I can see what playlists I have put a song in. Does the same feature exist in Iphoto 5? Or, is there a nice script that will do this? It must be possible. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthew

Matthew, see my reply to you in one of your other posts on the same subject.
I actually though I lost my reply cause I didn't see it in one of the other posts, (like this one).
Here it is again:
There is a way, but it will take some initial work.
Write down all the Album names on a piece of paper.
Give a number to each album name
Now open up iPhoto Preferences/keywords
Add a new keyword (number) for each album
Now go back to the library and click on an Album, select all images and hit Command i to open the info pane. Hit the keyword pane, and then hit the keyword(number) you gave to that album to give all the images that keyword.
do this for each album.
Now when done, you can see what albums the images are in by looking at the keywords (numbers)
If you decide to do this, let me know how it turns out.

  • How to find location of an album

    I created an album selecting pictures from 3 separate events. I'd like to now upload that album to an on-line storage website - fotki.com (similar to Snapfish). They have a plug-in to select location of my pictures. I want to be able to select the location of the album and I can't. Everything is by event date. I can't find where the albums are stored.
    For now, I will have to select image at a time in different 'event folders' to be uploaded but that is a big waste of time and very inconvenient.
    How could I find where Mac stores albums created in iPhoto.
    Many thanks!!!!!

    How could I find where Mac stores albums created in iPhoto?
    You can not since iPhoto does not store albums - albums are logical things that exist only in the iPhoto database
    Have you looked in the bottom left of the upload window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto ?
    Or select all of the photos in the album and export them to a desktop folder which can be deleted after the upload is complete

  • How do I move pictures within Albums?

    I have an IPAD Air with iOS8.1 installed.  Why, when I added pictures did some of them get out of order?  How do I move pictures within Albums?

    To rearrange photos in an album:
    Open the album.
    Touch "Select"
    Touch and hold on a photo and drag it to the desired location.

  • I am using iPhoto 2009.  If I empty the trash bin, will it delete those pictures from albums I have created?  I noticed some of the pictures appear to be the same in both the trash and album.

    I have a lot of photos in my trash bin and was thinking about emptying the trash.  However, I got a message that said that if emptied, I would not be able to recover them.  I chickened out.  I looked at several pictures in the trash and noticed that they were the same pictures in albums that I had created.  I compared the numbers shown on those pictures in the trash and found that they were the same as the numbers shown in on the pictures in the albums that I had created.  I would like to delete the pictures to create more space, but I don't want to lose pictures that I can't replace. 

    yes - albums are not copies or places - they are pointers in the databae pointing to the photo in the library - you can see it in an album, under photos or under events - but it is all the same photo - if you delete it it is gone everyplace - and no additiponal space is used for an album (or many albums - a photo can be in many albums without using any additional space
    Only put photos that you do not want to keep in the trash
    How much free space do you have on the disk volume that the iPhoto library is on?

    Hi tat33,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    You can remove photos, etc. from your iPhone by following these directions in reverse
    (i.e. remove the checkmark from an album you previously selected to add.)

    I have been working on a wedding slideshow for days and have over 3,000 pictures in albums on iPhoto.  It suddenly will not open without upgrading to Aperture and I can't find any of my photos!!!!  I need these photos, to complete the video, not to mention I don't want to lose them. I have had trouble ever since upgrading  to Maverick.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • How to resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?

    How can i resize album art pictures in Albums view mode?
    iTunes on my old PowerMac G5: there is a slider to resize album arts.
    iTunes on my Win7 PC: where is the slider to resize album arts???

    In the Grid view, *View > Grid View > Show Header* should expose the header. In the List view it's contolled by the size of the artwork column.

  • 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.

    Hi
    In browser mode (view-browser or hit the V key until it shows) there is a drop down menu at the top left of the browser pane. Hit image date then use the arrow to the right of the drop down to choose your preference

  • What app will organize pictures and albums on the ipad according to date and alphabetize?

    We have thousands of pictures and albums on our Ipad and need an app with a "go to" feature we can enter the name or date the photo was taken. We would like to date and name the pictures in the future with the app feature. Any suggestions?

    Hi-
    You can actully create your own folders on the Ipad in your photo area. There should be a little plus at the top and you can drag each photo and video in one by one. THere is also Photo Sort for the Ipad (App) Hope this helps. Please check out my website: www.applesupports.webs.com

  • Xperia C pictures in Album crash(can't open)

    Some of my pictures in album is crash. I can't open it at all. What can i do to retrieve it back? Help!! T.T

    Hi Crew5590,
    Welcome to the community,
    You could try connecting your handset to a PC and then transfer the files on to it, from here you can clear the cache and data from the Album app.
    Menu > settings > Apps > All > Album > Clear Cache/Data
    Let us know how you get on.

  • How can i put pictures in a specific location inside a album on iPhoto?

    I'm tryin' to complete my photoalbum in iPhoto ... so every picture i drag to the album is inserted at the end of th e row of pictures. is there a possibility to drag them directly in a specific place in between the existing pictures?

    There is no such thing as Numbers or Pages 10. The newest versions are Numbers 3.0.1 & Pages 5.0.1. The suite is sometimes referred to iWork '13, even by Apple, as that when it was released.
    Pictures in tables is just one of the 90+ features that didn't make it into the "new & improved, rewritten from the ground up” Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Leave feedback for the Pages team using the link in the Pages menu and review & rate the new versions in the Mac App Store. Do the same for Numbers.
    If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09. You can continue to use them to get things done.

  • Cover Flow and pictures of album...

    Alright, hey peeps, I have a SLIGHT(ya right) problem. When I take songs from my comp to my iPod classic (80g), when I go on "Songs" it shows an album right? Yeah, well, the thing is, when I go on SONGS, it only shows ONE album picture. Thats ok, but when I go to cover flow, the other album pictures (That are visible on Windows Media Player) are NOT there! Where are the picture?! And when I listen to the song (the cover of the album in this one is a large ship stuck in an iceberg) and its not there while you can clearly see it in WIndows Media Player. Please people help out because I AM VERY FURIOUS!! I AM BEGGING FOR YOUR KIND AND HELPFUL WORDS!!

    iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exisits in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
    To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts13.php for Macs. If you're using Google or other FWSE to locate suitable images they should be jpg's and ideally square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.

  • Pictures in albums vs moments

    I have Photos downloading my iPhone pictures. Previously (in iPhoto) I was able to take these pictures, separate them and put them in a relevant event and that was it. I never checked the "all photos", now everything is in "moments". How can I break these photos up and put them into the relevant album without duplicating or missing any?
    Not sure if I'm explaining it right...
    Previously...say I took pictures at a holiday party and then a birthday party on my phone. They would automatically download into a photo stream folder in iPhoto. I could go into that and separate the two parties and now have two events. 
    Now...
    I have to go into my photo stream folder and add both parties to two new albums, but I can have a picture in multiple albums, how can I make sure I don't have duplicates like that or miss one?
    Just not ready for this change...why get rid of events?

    Events aren't gone, they are in the sidebar under Albums, but they are no longer a primary organizer. It seems to me as well to be more difficult to create albums with the correct content.
