Naming Albums in Photo

I'm trying to add an name an album in Photo and it is putting a number in a bracket after it.  How do I stop this?  I'm trying to call it 2011 and its calling it 2011 (1).

Try to search with a Smart album:
Create a new Smart Album with the rule "Album is ...".
The dropdown list will show you all album names in use:
If there are still names, that should not be there, repair your Photos Library.
Try to repair your Photos Library.
Quit Photos.
Back up your Photos library.
Hold down the key combination ⌥⌘  (the alt/options key and command key), while you are double clicking the Photos icon in the Dock to launch Photos into the Repair tools. Hold the keys firmly down, until the panel appears.
Select  "Repair" and wait. Don't interrupt the repair.

    is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album.  for example:  There is a album called Fred.  I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder.  I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
    Any ideas please.  I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
    Many thanks Jaz Eilles

    Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it.  Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos.  So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
    So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

  • Naming albums

    Whenever I put my own pics into my iphone, it puts them in photo library, how do I make seperate photo albums and name them?

    If you are doing so manually without using an application, you must create folders on your computer placing the photos you want available in each folder.
    You can have a photos named folder with additional folder names within which contain the photos.
    All photos transferred to the iPhone are stored and will be available in the iPhoto's Photo Library.
    If you transfer 3 folder names or albums that contain photos say 10 photos each, it will be as follows:
    Photo Library (30)
    Photo Album 1 (10)
    Photo Album 2 (10)
    Photo Album 3 (10)
    With the Photo Album names to be whatever you name the folders which contain the photos transferred to your iPhone.
    This way you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting the iPhone's Photo Library or view the photos available in a particular folder or album by selecting the album.
    Photos in the folders or albums are not duplicated. They include a pointer to the original photo contained in the iPhone's Photo Library.

  • I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder.

    I created an album in iPhoto 11 and I have placed photos in a certain order for her graduation party slideshow. I want to place that album or photos on a thumbdrive, but when I do I lose the order I placed them in the folder.  renamed the photos starting with 1 and ending 262. thinking that would save the photos in order. Each time I try to export them that are placed in original folder names and descriptions need help.

    This is a two part process. First we title the photos, then we export them, using the title as filename.
    To title them
    Once you have then in the order you want select them all and go
    Photos -> Batch Change. Select set 'Title' to 'Text'
    Choose a Title -> Graduation 2013 or whatever, then check the box at 'Append number to each photo.
    Now, in the Album all your photos are named... Graduation 001, 002, 003 etc
    Next Export them:
    File -> Export, and in the Name option, choose 'Title as Filename' and complete the export.

  • Can I create Albums in Photos on my iPhone4?

    How can I create new Albums in Photos on my iPhone4?

    But won't that just create double photos in my phone? I would have to transfer all my pictures from my iPhone(probably by emailing myself the pictures and copy/paste them to named albums on my computer), sync the new albums with all the pictures to my phone, then erase the originals from my phone right?

  • Can i share existing albums of photos from my photo library with friends straight to icloud rather than having to create a new shared folder and then select the individual photos rather than a whole album??

    Ok to clarify -
    1. i want to go into my photos on my iphone 6.
    2. create a new folder in shared folders.
    3. Add an entire album of photos from my photo library rather than having to select individual photos.
    4. Share with friends.
    Surely the reason i have saved certain photos into albums already from my mac means i like the selection already. So i would like to just share the whole album rather than having to select all the individual photos from the album. Ive tried but maybe im being a doofus and missing something??????
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    thank you in advance
    Kris

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • How do I make new albums in photos and move picture from one album to another

    How do I make new albums in Photos and move photos from one album to another

    At the moment you can't - though it should be possible (if it makes it into the final release) in iOS 5 which will be available sometime in the Autumn. Photos cannot currently be moved between albums on the iPad.
    If  you sync separate folders from your computer you'll get an album for each of them on the iPad, and you have to sync all the folders/albums that you want together as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad (not including a folder in a sync is the way that you delete it from the iPad).

  • HT1688 I've created a sharing album on Photo Stream. I've entered my husbands icloud email address so that I can share it with him but he is not receiving the invitations. Can you please let me know if I am doing something wrong?

    I've created an album on Photo Stream and I've added my husbands icloud email address (subscribers) as well as mine (just to test it out) and invitations say that they have been sent but no emails are generated or received. I have checked my emails spam folder just in case but nothing has been received. Please help!

    This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.

  • My photo album " my photo stream" is no longer on my iPad. How can I get it back?

    My album "my photo stream" isn't on my iPad. Where did it go. I've checked iCloud settings & photo settings. I have rebooted my iPad as well. All updates are complete.

    Hello Phildebeldorado,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are missing the My Photo Stream album on your iPad, then you may have the iCloud Photo Library beta enabled.  When you enable this option, it removes the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream albums from your device.

    Take care,

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • How do I move photos from album to album in Photo

    How do I move photos from album to album in Photo?

    Now try this.  Try to import photos from your camera's SD Card by dragging and dropping the photos from the SD Card to an album of choice.   You can't.
    Actually you can if you drag the photos onto the albums' icon in the sidebar pane at the left or into the albums open window at the right.  This
    gets you this:
    However, this test was for photos in a folder on the Desktop.  I didn't have a memory card to test so you may have to move the pictures from the card to a folder on the Desktop and import from there.

  • I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

    I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).
    (For future info, typing all in capitals is considered SHOUTING - you are more likely to get help/responses if you don't.)

  • IPad 1,  how to delete albums in photo?

    I have an ipad1 with ios5+  operating on it. I want to delete albums in photo. How do it do it?

    1. If album was created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete it using the Edit button.
    2. If album was synced from a computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to reconnect the iPad to your computer's iTunes, de-select that album/folder on the Photos tab and re-sync.

  • How to make more albums in photo library?

    How to make more albums in photo library?

    If you do not have iOS 5, you have to use subfolders in your one photo syncing folder. You can have one level of folders in the syncing folder and each folder is an album.
    With iOS 5 you can create albums in the Photo app.
