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.

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 wante

Any ideas please. I am using Yosemite 10.1.1

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.

If i add two officially released and named albums with the same name, they keep compiling as one album. How to separate the tracks by artist??

I need immediate help. So here's the situation: Okay so I added an RHCP (Red Hot Chili Peppers) album that is named Greatest Hits on my iPod and I also added an The Offspring album also named Greatest Hits to my iPod and both tracks of the albums group as one. Any help please? Please please reply asap thanks in advance

This is a known bug, and you will see it in iTunes if you sort your library by Album name.
The workaround is as Mitch indicated, change one of the album names. However, you can simply append a space at the end of one of the albums so that it "looks" the same as the other, but will be treated differently because of the space.

Front Row can't slideshow same named album

This is what i noticed and thought i'd just share my problems. In front row, i use folders to organize my artwork, so like Project A will have a ProjectAfolder and have multiple albums: illustration, concept, roughs, etc... projectBfolder also has the same setup: illustrations, concepts, etc.
So in Front Row, if i goto Project B and select to slideshow the Illustration Album, but it'll play whichever folder was named Illustration first (in this example, photos from Project A would play).
So i take it same name albums is a no-go for Front Row. Anyone else have the same experience? I'd go and rename em all, but i have too many project folders that i'd rather just slide show straight from Iphoto than goto Front Row.

For clarity, the problem is that Front Row can't open iTunes in the background as it always did before. So it can't access the library for playing songs and movies, reason why it remains stuck when I try to do so.
I have Front Row 1.3.1 (the last version available for Tiger users, right?) and iTunes 8.0.2. My system is fully updated and kept well. So I think there is a kind of compatibility bug between Front Row 1.3.x and iTunes 8, in fact Leopard users with Front Row 2 installed are not experiencing troubles.
Hope someone at Apple can do a check on Front Row 1.3 and solve this with a fix.

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.

Store photos into place-named albums

Hello,
I use iPhone 5s with iOS 8.
I want to know how can I configure my iPhone to store photos in separated albums according to the place names.
Thanks,

How can I re-sort my albums both chronologically and in track order?

Hi all,
All of a sudden, the correct album track order on my iPod Classic has gone haywire!
I have many, many playlists, containing albums by all my favourite bands, arranged in chronological order. This means that I can start playing the Beatles (for instance) with "Please Please Me", and work my way through to "Let It Be:Naked", playing each album in its turn, with the track listing of each album in their original order.
Of course, I have to tell iTunes to sort "Album by Artist/Year" to achieve this end, and up until just recently, things have been fine. Most of my 250+ artist-dedicated playlists are sorted this way.
Now, all of a sudden, I find that the track order within these albums in iTunes are appearing in a completely random order. The only way I can get the correct track sequence back again is to re-sort the list by "Album" which re-arranges the albums alphabetically, but that does not list them chronologically....
I have tried re-sorting the chronologically dated and named albums by clicking the column header, and when it comes up with sorted by "Album by Artist / Year" (which is where it ONCE was all automatically sorted into correct sequence of track numbers) now, it comes up with all the album tracks in random order, within each album.. It sorts the albums into the correct chronological order, but the tracks within these albums are all messed up.
As I said earlier, if I choose to sort each playlist simply "By Album", then all the tracks on each album are in the correct order, so I KNOW that the correct ID Tag info is still there..
Until now, I have been able to pride myself on (usually) being able to manage the sometimes quirky moods of iTunes, which I have been using for over a decade - but I have never had this problem before.
Please also note that all my 23,000+ tracks have album dates, track numbers, artists, groupings, genres, play counts, and most also have cover images.
This week, I have downloaded and re-installed iTunes 10.6.3.25, but still no change.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I can do to get things back the way they were again?
Many thanks,
Rusty Shay

Hello there,
Hi there Chris CA,
Many thanks for your reply.
I just tried using the column browser as you suggested, but it remains the same.
I can either have the albums by any one artist sorted alphabetically - with the tracks in the correct sequence....
Or I can have the albums sorted by year of release - with the tracks in random order....
But not both!
The most curious thing is that all playlists are not affected. Probably three or four out of the 250+ are listed the way I want them all to be.
It's driving me bloody crazy!

Album Art is making me crazy! Won't stay attached in iPod but ok in iTunes!

1.Some of my Album Art is imported from iTunes, some is copied / pasted from internet since I can't get it from "Import Art" from iTunes. I also use an external hard drive to store my iTunes on. iTunes plays fine, and in iTunes, all my album art is displayed. However, several albums (only about 10 out of over 1000) show no album art at all in my iPod(s). I download it again, drag it into the window where you drop artwork and it seems fine in iTunes but again will not show up in my iPod. The image is fine as it shows in iTunes and is the same size as all my other image files I have used.
I have even deleted all the art from each individual track in iTunes which had missing art and reloaded it - same thing. This is making me nuts! Any ideas? I'm a very anal person and I want art on every track/album.
This happens on my new iPod classic 80G w/video as well as an older iPod classic which doesn't support cover flow but still shows album art.
2.On an even weirder note, if I eject/disconnect my external drive to use my laptop, when I reconnect, most of my album art is gone in iTunes. However, if I use the cover flow view to locate the albums with no art, when I get to them I press enter to play the first (or any) song on the album and as soon as it starts to play, the art comes back and then stays! This is very strange. Almost as if iTunes forgot where the art is but playing the song somehow reunites it. I don't get it.

For #1, the iPod's Artwork cache does get corrupted when making frequent changes. In the iPod's Music preferences tab in iTunes, remove the check beside "Display album artwork on your iPod" and select Apply.
Once the iPod has finished syncing, recheck it and hit Apply again. iTunes should recreate the artwork cache and re-sync it to your iPod.
For #2, are you running the itunes database (it has an ITL extension) from the exHD ? Or from the default location on your C: drive. The downloaded artwork from the itunes store goes into a folder named Album Artwork, and that is created in the same folder as the ITL file.
Not sure if this is it, since I embed the artwork in all my files.

Can i export an album from iphoto to a memory stick with the album title to identify the the file

I would like to put my photos as per album on to a memory stick, can this be done with the named albums, so I can highlight the album then open the chosen title and then select the chosen photo, I only have iphoto on my mac and have a 32GB memory stick, Hazel

If you want you can export the contents of that album via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and select File Name = Use Album Name with Number and each photo will be exported with the Album Name as the file name followed by a sequential number, i.e. Album Name-01.jpg, Album Name-02.jpg, etc.
Then put them in a folder and drag the folder onto the memory stick.

How to get a list in the album pane

Down loaded the new version, now my albums show in big album pictures instead of a easily read list
cannot find how to change back to a list in the "album" pane
Funny, notice the new format online, more really big pictures that mean a lot of scrolling to find anything
itunes moving away from efficiency?
it is still unable to locate over 9,000 (was 4,000 when I last looked, at this rate itunes is losing files faster than I am converting them) missing files.
the earlier versions would locate the one missing file and use it to replace other missing files
now it seems I will have to re do them all, one album or audio book at a time
maybe easier to get an mp3 for my next device.

Ah yes! I see the screenshot you mean.
That field depends upon information in the Sort Album field for a song (found by highlighting a song and selecting File/Get Info/Sorting>Sort Album), but in my Library, very few songs have anything in there (even though most information came from Gracenote) and those that do, appear greyed out when I have that column showing (as you do) - and - the songs don't sort on that column, even when I ask iTunes to do so. To be honest, I can't see the point of that column.
******** Yours does not have items in it either? ***********************************
Anyway, more to the point, in your view, if you want to sort by album name, why not use the column in your view currently named Album by Artist? If you click on the top of that column (not the arrow), it toggles between
Album by Artist ▲
Album by Artist/Year ▲
Album ▲
However - if once, it's on the one you want, click on the arrow itself to reverse the sort order. So if you have Album ▲ showing, simply click on that arrow to have Album ▼.
(I think this may be new in iTunes 11. Prior to this, simply clicking in the bar would toggle between every option.)
*************************I'm not sure what you are talking of, selecting from the browser colums to show the list? I don't want a list of artists, I want the album names, only the album names, not the tracks*********************
I cannot understand why the Show Column Browser should be greyed out in your iTunes. But as the browser is showing in your screenshot, that confirms that your iTunes can show the columns. I've already mentioned how to remove the two columns you don't want. If you manage to get that view back (and I don't see why you can't), then you would then have the choice of displaying only the artists in the column browser (I can do this in my iTunes, I've tried again just now), or using the Album ▲ option, see below.
I often need to check an album and I will use the the following view (but with the Artist and Genre in the Column Browser). For this example, I have removed Artists and Genre, to show the view you might use:
*****************I did get the Show Column browser back, and after reading so much on so many discussion sites, I don't remember how*****************************************************************

****************I agree, my point was not that I somehow chose to try to use an old instruction to work the new version, but that is what itunes presents on a search for instuctions, agree, confusing the issue.

Iphoto and organizing albums...

I'm slowly learning iphoto and I'm having a hard time with organizing albums/folders. I like to organize my pictures by using albums/folders like in windows. I've created albums/folders and I'm taking the photos from events and putting them into these newly named albums/folders. The problem is that when I go to move them around to organize by my preference, I can't drop and drag without the album/folder going into another album/folder. It does allow me to drop to the bottom, but it goes into the last album/folder and then I have to move it out of that. It's very cumbersome and there has to be an easier way, I'm making due, but I'm doing things that are very confusing and time consuming.

Folder drag and drop the same way as albums do. Movie Test Folder 1 to between the other two folders:
Select, drag and drop
to give you this:
One just needs to be sure the cursor is at the far left before releasing.

I changed an album title of a purchased song, but it won't show the change on my iPhone. What should I do?

I have terrible OCD, especially with my iTunes library. I buy all of my music on iTunes, but sometimes it shows an album title I'd like to change (mainly with albums that have the "EP" or "Single" in it). I change it and it shows up on my MacBook, but when I sync my iPhone 5, it doesn't show the change. I don't know what to do and this is bothering me very much. What can I do to fix this?

I had a similar issue and spoke to someone at Apple, who sent me this:
1. Sign out of iTunes on iPhone.
2. Put the iPhone in airplane mode
3. Delete the incorrectly named albums from the iPhone
4. Edit your album names in your iTunes library to what you want
5. Move the songs & albums from your iTunes library back to your iPhone
6. Disconnect
7. Turn off airplane mode
I've had some slight issues arising from it, but the original problem appears fixed.
Hope it helps,
Will

Zen Vision: M Album Art prob

Hi all...
I recently did a fresh install of Windows MCE and had to reinstall all my Creative stuff. I used the CD-Rom to reinstall (still mad about the MP3 conversion removal from the new version of mediasource). Since reinstalling everything, I cannot drag jpg's into the Zen Media Explorer to put on the Album Art.
It worked before I reinstalled. Now when I drag a picture onto the "musical note" icon, the hard dri've on the Zen Vision has activity (the docked icon spins) but the picture doesn't appear.
The album art I added before is all still there, but I can't change or replace it. Every time I drag, the hard dri've spins and everything, but the picture just doesn't show up.
I haven't installed Windows Media Player either.
Any ideas?
HB

I have found precisely the same problem.Re-installed windows last week, and ever since I have been unable to transfer album art. I used to do this by naming album art jpeg as "folder" and dragging album folder directly into Vision:M media explorer. I have also tried to dragging art onto the album art placeholder on "album" view - as described in creative knowledge base solution 879 - and this does not work. The only way I have found to transfer the album art is by syncing through media player . I should point out that I was using media player 0 before my re-install - but surely this cannot be the reason can it's The album art which I had transferred previously to my player is still fine. Is there any solution to this It's only a small problem, but it's really starting to bug me Thanks

Photo albums in iOS 5

Hi there,
I used to sync my iPad1 with iPhoto to create a dynamic display of our multiple product lines. Everything went fine until the iOS 5 upgrade.
For whatever reason, albums on the iPad now appear to be classified in a strange manner, unlike on iPhoto where I have ranked them by alphabetical order. I thought it would be solved if I sorted the albums manually on the iPad, to recover a convenient way of accessing each product line in no time.
The bad news is that I had to update a couple of photos in iPhoto. Guess what? When i synced my iPad to take these changes into account ... it went back to the original "order" of albums. So I had to do the manual sorting all over again. What an awful waste of time!
Is there any parameter or initiative that I am missing to get my iPad to suit my professional needs again?
Otherwise, I would hope that Apple developers realise that the present iOS 5 photo album classification is IRRELEVANT for businesses who use iPads for marketing purposes.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I have named all my 16,000 photos when saving into appropriately named Albums in iPhoto. The albums are arranged in iPhoto in alpha order. My 3Gs has always mirrored that alpha order. It's annoying enough that you can't search Photos on iPhone by name (as you can in iPhoto, and even in Photo Browser in Apple Mail) but NOW, after upgrading to iOS 5, my Albums on iPhone are just some seemingly random order, album names starting with a "B", say, may be mixed in with "S"s or whatever, making it extremely inconvenient to find an album.
I cannot fathom the WHY for this. Please, Apple: I would love to see Search available for Photos on iPhone. But at the very least, PLEASE allow some way to restore Albums in alpha order on iPhone. Do this quickly, please. It is NOT sensible to have to scroll through randomly arranged Albums.

How to create Album in iCloud Photos on Mac?

Anyone know how to create an album in iCloud photos on the Mac? It has a section for "My Albums" but I have no clue how to create one. I want to put all photos into named albums instead of just moments. I see how to do it on iPhone but it doesn't sync to the iCloud on Mac to look the same. Let me know what I am missing or not seeing here. Thanks

You cannot yet create albums in the iCloud Photos.app, only in the Photos.app on your mobile iOS 8 devices, or in the Photos.app for Mac that has yet to be released.
