Moving photos in an album

When I attempt to move a photo within an album, I can only do so when the spot to which I wish to move the photo is visible on the page. If I want to move the photo to a position that is not visible on the page, I cannot do so. I assumed that dragging the photo to the edge of the page would cause the album to scroll, thereby allowing me to go to the point at which I wish to insert the photo, but it does not. What's up?

One has to carefully move the photo to the edge where the cursor is just touching the edge (either top or botton) to get it to move. It is rather touchy but can be done.

If you can't get it to work try this: 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 the problem persists make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and do 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.

Using iPad 2 photos and have not found key to organizing or moving photos from one album to another existing album

With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?

If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

Moving photos from one album to the other

I have the Iphone 5 using IOS 7.0.4, I want to move photos from one album to another. How can that be done? I have tried everything on the web and nothing works.

Moving photos in an album or folder

How do you change the order of photos once they are in a folder?

Changing the order of photos in a folder : you don't really change the order of storing of the photos files on your drive, you change the way you tell your explorer / finder to show photos. You can choose from many criteria to order your photos in the explorer / finder. To tell the PSE11 organizer how you want it to show your photos, you can choose between older first, newer first, import batch... For previous versions, you could choose the alphabetical order of file names when you are in folder view. In the explorer / finder, the default is the order by file names. If you want a custom order in explorer / Finder, you have to rename the files sequentially so that they appear correctly in the explorer / finder.
With PSE11, the ability to sort by file names has been lost, even if you are in 'Pictures' folder view.
With albums, that's different. You can choose additionally a custom order, by dragging the files around in the browsing space. The album order is saved in the catalog itself (the database).
So, in short, to save a custom order, don't use folders, use albums. In PSE11 select 'album order' and drag your files around to sort them visually.
You can create an instant album from a folder (right click on the folder in 'Pictures' or 'My Pictures' view).

MOVING PHOTOS FROM PHOTOSHOP ALBUM TO EXT HARDDRIVE

WHEN I TRY TO MOVE PHOTOS TO AN EXTERNAL HARDRIVE FROM FILE/BURN/MOVE FILES, THE ONLY DESTINATION OFFERED IS THE D DRIVE. I WANT TO MOVE IT TO AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. HOW DO I GET THE BROWSE OPTION ACTIVE?

Hi Fred,
I don't recommend using this software for anything other than
cataloging. If you want to move your images you should consider
Photoshop Elements because it is meant to perform this activity. PSA SE
is just a little cataloging applet that would get really confused if you
even tried it. You would have to completely redo your catalog.

Moving photos from photo stream to an album

How can I move pictures from a photostream to a album? do i need to move them to the camera roll first?

Moving photos first to the camera roll is the only solution to moving photos to an album...a bit time consuming if you have many photos.

Can I moved flagged photos into an album on the iPad?

Hi there,
While on holiday I used my iPad to backup photos from my camera and I used the flag system in iPhoto for iPad to mark which ones I wanted to share. The problem is I can't see a way of moving the flagged photos into an album so I wanted to find out if it is actually possible to do this on the iPad.
Additional info:
The photos were uploaded onto the iPad using the native Photos app and have been flagged in iPhoto
The photos are also on my iCloud account
Neither the flags nor editing applied to the photos have synced after iCloud has been updated on my Macbook
Due to the above I am unable to create a Smart Album based on flagged photos on my Macbook
In iPhoto for iPad I cannot see the filename so I am unable to discern which images to flag on my Macbook to utilise Smart Albums (I have a lot of very similar photos)
Any help would be much appreciated as this is incredibly frustrating.

There is not yet a simple solution to do what you want. The new Photos.app in iOS 8 will bring a much better integration between iPad and Mac.
I just don't understand the point of being able to flag, favourite or tag item on the iPad if you can't organise them into folders or easily share them between Apple's own apps.
iPhoto on the iPad is simply not yet as flexible as iPhoto on a Mac. It is not meant for syncing libraries between Mac and iPad. You can share photos, but not albums. And the central sharing place with other apps on the iPad is the Camera Roll. To make photos valuable in other apps, share them to the Camera Roll.
In iPhoto you cannot create albums like in the Photos.app. Only smart albums based on tags. If you add a tag "Flower" to some photos, you will automatically create an album "Flower". But again, these tags will not be transferred to your Mac by the Photo Stream, you will not see them in iPhoto on your mac.
If you want to transfer the edited photos using the Photo Stream you have to add them to the Photo Stream after editing, and that requires to save them to the Camera Roll.
You could use a shared Photo Stream, but that will reduce the size of the photos. Or select the flag photos and sync them to your Mac using iTunes Photo Sharing. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkee26bc1f
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap > iTunes.
Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
I am using the iPad mainly to browse and show photos in slideshows, but not, to organise and tag them. That I will do on my Mac.

Moving Photos between Albums

When I drag a photo from Album 1 to Album 2, it copies the photo while leaving it in Album 1. Then I have to open Album 1 and delete the photo, so that it resides only in Album 2.
How can I move (not copy) a photo from Album 1 (delete it) to Album 2 ?

When I'm in an album and drag a photo to another album I'm still in the first album where I can then delete the photo when the drag is completed. Dragging a photo to another album in the Source pane does not put me in that second album. I have to click on the second album to get there. Not sure what you're experiencing. Here's what it looks like for me dragging from Album PDF to Profile test. I'll remain in the PDF album until I click on the other one.

Moving or copying a photo from one album to another

I am new to Mac and iphoto. I imported photos from a photo card to my library. I have an Album containing some of the photos imported to my library. When I went back in later to move (or add) some photos from the main library to my album, I could not seem to drag or copy them. Any suggestions regaeding what I might be doing wrong?

First, if you are new to iPhoto, I suggest that you take the time to look at the tutorials for iPhoto and all of the iLife applications that you are going to be using. start here
And, be sure you understand how iPhoto works, what it does and does not do.
Look at this thread and read the posts by Smtr and Terence Devlin for more information look here
Now, you have imported photos into iPhoto, created an album and now you cannot add photos to it?
Have a look at this, from iPhoto Help:
Creating a standard photo album
You can create standard albums to better organize your photo library, group the photos you want to burn to CD or DVD, or choose pictures for a webpage.
To create a standard photo album:
Choose File > New Album.
You can also click the Add button, which looks like a plus sign, in the bottom-left corner of the iPhoto window, then choose Album from the pop-up menu.
Type a name for your album and click Create. The album appears in your Source list.
Click Library, then drag photos to your new album.
You can also add a photo to an album directly from another album, a CD or DVD, or another location on your hard disk. When you add a photo to an album from another location on your hard disk, iPhoto automatically imports it into your photo library.
You can also select the photos you want to group first, then create a standard album from them. To do this, Command-click to select all the photos you want to include in the album, then choose File > New Album From Selection and name your album.
You can also create an album by dragging a folder of photos from the Finder into an empty part of iPhoto's Source list. iPhoto creates an album with the folder's name and imports all photos contained in the folder.
Lastly, if you have followed all these instructions and still cannot put a photo into an album, try deleting iPhoto's preference file. It is found in YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist.com. You need to close iPhoto first, locate the plist file and trash it. Don't worry, iPhoto will create another one when you open it again. Open iPhoto and see if it works ok now.
Post back after reviewing/doing all of this, if you are still having problems.

I am trying to copy 3 photos from an album in iPhoto to my iPhone. I have tried to move them to PhotoStream. I "select" the photos in the Album and then click on PhotoStream in the "Share" menu at the bottom of the screen. Nothing happens. I have also tried emailing them tyo myself but iPhoto won't send the email. It tells me it doesn't recognize my ID and password. My operating is Lion on an iMac.

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

What is the easiest way to sort photos within an album. I have photos from a trip but they are all mixed up. Photos from one part of the trip are showing up in other parts. Please help.

I have a MacBook Pro laptop and am trying to use iPhoto. I uploaded pictures but they uploaded out of order. Photos taken from different locations on my trip are all mixed up and I would like to sort them in chronological order. Things I have tried have been time consuming and often take several attempts before the moved photo "takes" to its new location within the album. If anyone can provide step by step instructions for this senior, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

following article tells how to sort photos in iphoto:

also
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2388
article on smart albums in iphoto as well:

these should help answers your questions, also in every apple application if you look on the main menu bar they all have a help section that is very useful in getting basic how to instructions.

Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll. After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

"Why doesn't Apple fix this ? "
Because it is not broken. it works exactly as intended.
"If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
Apple has it figured out. That is what is on the iphone.

How do I free up space on my C drive by moving photos to a separate hard drive on the same pc?

I need to free up space on my C Drive by moving photos to Seagate expansion (H) drive. Currently use Windows Vista and elements 11 where I have organiser containing folders and albums which I want to keep intact after the move. Photos are currently held in C:users, valued customer, pictures. I’m pretty ignorant on how to do this but have tried to read and follow the FAQs and previous advice and think I have some understanding(!) I have made a catalog back up onto a separate Seagate expansion drive (F) and although the files appear to have been renamed as ‘B0000001’ for example, I believe this is normal and I can also see a backup.tly and a catalog.buc file so I’m assuming the backup was successful. I think I need to take the following steps;
1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.
7. In future any new photos I take and import into Element 11 organiser, I’ll save on the (H) drive.
Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
Thanks.

It's much simpler:

Yes, the renaming is normal and the fact you can see a backup.tly file is good. However, even if you are 99% sure that the backup is ok, the only way to be 100% sure would be to restore somewhere else... (being somewhat paranoid!)
I think I need to take the following steps;
1. drag and drop the folders containing my photos from the C drive into the (H) drive. (Does this have to be completed one folder at a time or can they all be highlighted and dragged and dropped in the same action)?
Dragging a master folder also drags its subfolders, no problem.
2. As I’m not changing computer then I’m assuming I don’t need to restore the catalog?
No, no need to do that. When you move (by drag and drop or the move menu) the organizer automatically updates the catalog.
3. At this point I won’t have deleted anything off the C drive so how do I ensure the catalog establishes links with the photos that are now on the (H) drive if they’re still on the C drive?
The drag and drop procedure really moves, that is to say : copies the files to the new location AND deletes the files in the old location. Note that if there is a problem in the file transfer, the original files won't be deleted. The transfer of big libraries can require several hours. That happened to me with a power outage at 95% of the process. The files already copied stayed on the new computer, the original files were not deleted and the database of the catalog rolled back to the initial situation as if I had done nothing. So dragging and dropping is safe, at least on recent PSE versions.
4. Once I know the photos are safely on the (H) drive and all links to the catalog have been established I’ll take a new backup of the catalog onto the separate Seagate expansion drive (F)
5. Do I need to take a separate backup of the photos which are now on the (H) drive?
6. I’ll then delete the photos on the C drive.
7. In future any new photos I take and import into Element 11 organiser, I’ll save on the (H) drive.
Have I got the steps right? Any help would be appreciated as I don’t want to lose anything.
Thanks.
If you take a new backup, it will include all the files recorded in the catalog. If you still have pictures on your C: drive, and possibly others on other external drives, everything will be backed up. You can't specify a backup for images in a given disk, only for all images in a catalog. For instance, you can move only a part of your images on your C: drive. You can add pictures in the drive you want, C: or H:

Organizing photos in an album

I know this must be very simple. I'm using iPhoto '08 and just want to move photos around within one of my event of photo folders. I have done this in the past by just clicking and dragging the photo to where I want to place it....but this is not working. Please advise.

1 - you posted an iPhoto '08 question in the iPhoto 6 forum - I will request that the thread be moved to the correct forums
2 - iPhoto '08 has events, albums and folders - all are different - and using the correct terminology is critical:
-- Events are basic and you can not rearrange photos in events
-- albums are used to organize photos and you can change the order by dragging photos within the album
-- folders are also organization elements and hold albums or other folders
You are mixing them all up - I suspect that you want to create an album and then reorder the photos in that album
