No seperate albums created when importing folders containing photos

Hi ... Need some help here please..
When importing folders containing photos in iPhoto each folder would be made into an Event. When I do the same with Photos all my pictures are placed into Albums  - All Photos. No separate Albums are made for each folder, all pictures are mixed up together.
Why is Photos doing this?
(Im not importing from iPhoto ... New Mac)

Simon
Yes it does say that, but I have to say that a significant number of people can't get that to work, and I've never found an adequate reason why.
I recommend that you begin to import at the bottom of your hierarchy. Drag to the left hand pane and iPhoto will create a Roll and and album of the same name. You can then create the enclosing folders in iPhoto: (File -> New Folder).

  • Best way to import folders of Photos and keep folder name?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to import folders containing photos into iphoto so that once it copies into iphoto it shows up as a named album?
    OR
    do always you have to create a new album, name it and then add pics to it?
    OR.....
    Is there an easy way using iphoto to merge 2 different libraries into one?

    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events, uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from Finder.
    Then drag a folder of images to the Albums heading in the iPhoto Window and the pics will be imported and an Album of the same name will be created.

    Using iPhoto? No. Using the paid version ($20 approx) of iPhoto Library Manager, Yes.

  • "Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

    I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

    What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down?  There is no "correct" sort order.  You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser.  The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner.  Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had.  When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

  • Is the prores file that FCPx creates when importing c300 .mxf files stable/quality enough to then copy to other drives for further use? Are there any quality disadvantages to doing that?

    Im wondering if I can directly copy the prores files fcpx creates when importing c300 .mxf files from the "original media" folder, reimport them for another project to and use them that way. Is there any problem with working that way? I'm doing this bc I want to have an organize finder structure for a client but cant break the c300 card structure to split clips on a card into different "scenes" to make it easier for them to understand what they're looking at. This is all to stay NLE nuetral--we like fcpx but they might want to edit somewhere else and more details in the finder level seems like the best solution? Suggestions on any of that? Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. Are you sure that FCPx is working with .mxf/c300 natively? I thought it was just a background sort of repackaging or transcode into prores that it does without you having a choice? And bc of that, for me, it's sort of a "back end" feeling file: I'm curious if it's bad to get into the package contents folder to copy it over? Not about copying prores in general-- specifically, is the prores created of c300 footage in fcpx more of a fcpx, high quality alias file? Maybe I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable grabbing things from the inside/finder level of fcpx.

  • After I updated to iOS 8, I noticed that while copying photos to my PC, I see photos being categorized into many folders. I also found some system files in each of the folders containing photos (in the name of Local Disk). Is this usual?

    After I updated to iOS 8, I noticed that while copying photos to my PC, I see photos being categorized into many folders now. I also found some system files in each of the folders containing photos (in the name of Local Disk). Is this usual?

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • I copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE

    Ι copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE. I don't have the choice to delete it only from the main album.

    You mean you copied photos from your camera roll to a new album, correct? Well, that's the way it works. The photos wern't actually copied to your new album, just pointers to the actual photos, which are still in your camera roll. So, yes, if you delete from your camera roll, you remove them from your phone.

  • How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

    I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
    I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
    I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
    How can this be done?
    For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
    So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
    Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
    Thanks.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

  • No wrapper vis created when importing web service

    Hi,
    I am having an issue in LV 8.5 when importing a web service my company created.  Everything goes well, no errors, I get a list of methods to import, a project and library are created.  However, in the end no VIs are created in the lvlib file.
    I tried the example http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4728 which imports from ws.cdyne.com and VIs were created.
    I am suspecting that the WSDL has some flaw, but I am not a web service expert nor the creator of the web service.
    Any advice on how to proceed?
    Thanks,
    Premise03 (Chris Roth)

    Problem solved      New problem
    I just installed Labview 8.5.1. The problem is gone. However, a new problem appeared. The XML output does not contain the actual result values. When I call the web service using SOAPUI from http://www.soapui.org/, I can see the actual result values in a section of the XML output called diffgr:diffgram. When I inspect the Labview XML output, the whole diffgram section is missing!
    Our IT guy says that they have not payed much attention to the WSDL since they themselves run Microsoft .net only. Could there be some WSDL-non-according-to-standard problem? Another thought: Is Labview capable of handling the diffgram data type? What do you guys think? Please see attached copies of output.

  • How do I maintain adobe photoshop albums when importing into ipad photo albums

    How do I maintain the adobe photoshop albums when importing them into the ipad photo library?

    Do these albums on the iPad have the cloud icon next to them? If they do, they are albums that you have previously purchased from iTunes. You can remove them from the Music app by going to Settings>iTunes &App Store>Show All>Music>Off.

  • One Event created when importing photos from many dates

    This is my first time using iPhoto, and I imported a few hundred images from my camera dating back about 7 months. I viewed the tutorial, and my understanding was that different events would be created based on the date of the files. Instead, it created one huge event of the date I imported them. Is that the way it operates? One this I was able to do with the app I used on Windoze was to have the images go into directories named by the date, so images were separated by day. Is there a way to specify that in iPhoto, or do I manually have to create events by splitting them once they are all in my Event that is dated the day I actually imported them?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How photos are separated when imported is set in iPhoto's Events preference pane:
    Click to view full size
    When importing from the Finder, i.e. a folder on the hard drive, all of the photos will be in a single Event unless that checkbox that's pointed to in the screenshot is checked.
    FWIW my workflow is to upload after every shoot to a folder, name the folder to identify the occasion of the photos and import the folder into iPhoto. This gives me an Event with the same name as the folder. I also rename the photos with the international date format for the date the photos were taken: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg, -002.jpg, etc. This avoids duplicate file name issues that can crop up at a later date.
    I then have the camera reformat the memory card for the next shoot.

  • Projects Not Created When Importing

    A problem has appeared recently. When importing photos with Aperture not all of the projects that should be created are actually created. I have auto-split on so if I have, for example, 3 projects spread over 2 days, then only 1 or 2 (varies randomly if I delete and import again) of the projects are created. All the photos are imported but only some are in projects and the rest can only be found under photos.

    All the photos are imported but only some are in projects and the rest can only be found under photos.
    Are you sure about this? How did you check?  Have you tried "File > Show in Project" for the photos you are seeing in "Photos" view? Sometimes the projects may be in a different alphabetical order than you expected. Also Aperture splits the daily projects not when the date changes, but in 24 hour intervals - so three day shoots may result in only two projects.
    In Aperture each photo must be in a project - that is how Aperture manages photos.
    If you see it in the "Photos" view, it should be in a project. Have you any filters set in the "Projects" view? Check the search fields in the in the Library inspector panel and the browser, if they are cleared.
    If clearing filters does not bring your projects back, your Aperture Library may need repairing. Then I'd suggest to run the Library First Aid Tools:

  • Possible to create "multiple" "snapshot" folders in Photo app?

    I mastered the whole "Hold both buttons to take a screenshot" idea. However, all screenshots are saved in one "saved pictures" folder under the "albums" tab. Any way to make multiple folders? Say, by date or website or.... anything?
    I know I can make mutliple folders in iTunes and import them. I'm talking about creating multiple screenshot folders on the iPad itself.
    Also, is there any way to turn off the "Picture frame" flower that comes up on the main screen when powering down? I don't want anyone to be able to just hit that and start a slideshow.
    And...(I tried to put all my "picture questions" in one topic).... Can I load a different picture to each App page? I have one picture on my lock screen and all my "App" pages have a 2nd pic. Can I put a seperate pic background on each of the 11 (or how ever many the max is) app "home" pages?

    Regards creating different folders for different groups of screen shots the only way to do that is to move all the screen shots to your computer, put them in separate folders and then sync them back to the iPad.
    In response to your question about using different backgrounds for different app pages the answer is no. In essence you're not actually switching pages it's just the group of app icons that are changing. In other words the background remains static when you swipe to move to the next so called page of icons.

  • Why do I get two images when importing from i-photo into aperture

    Guys
    I am a new convert to Mac's and am a keen amateur photographer ,I have transfered my photo library from my old pc into i-photo initially which worked fine and for my photo editing package I have loaded up aperture 3.When I transfer RAW photos from I-photo library into Aperture I end up with two raw images of the same photo one is called 'i-photo original raw' and the other ' i-photo edited raw ' I think I am probably missing a trick somewhere but am worried I will rapidly fill up file space with all these raw images.

    When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically makes a jpeg Preview of the shot. Why? Because you can't do anything with Raw - can't print it, share it online, use it in other apps etc. So to allow you to use the file immediately the Preview is available. That's the second file you're getting.
    You're not trying to use iPhoto and Aperture together are you? It's a waste of time and a cause of some frustration. Aperture is a complete replacement for iphoto, and you're really better off picking one horse to ride and forget about the other. Like iphoto, Aperture is a Photo Manager and post processor - but rather more powerful. Both apps are database driven. Aperture is not an "editing package".
    If you do opt to stay with iPhoto then use an editor like Photoshop, Elements, Acorn, Pixelmator etc as your editng package.

  • How do I keep songs from an album together when importing?

    When I import music from a cd, often it is broken into pieces if there is a collaboration on that song. For example, Santana's Shaman album is almost all collaborations with various artists so it is imported as a huge number of separate albums.
    How can I prevent this from happening when immporting cd's and how do I put them all together again?

    That's what the "Album Artist" field is for.  The track artist can have all kinds of variations (especially with Santana!), but the Album artist should be "Santana" for all of the tracks and that will keep the album together.  If the Album Artist field is left blank, you will get the behavior you have described.
    I usually answer "no" when iTunes prompts me to import the CD when it auto-detects one... then I edit the Album Artist (which is almost never automatically filled out), then I import the CD.
    You can edit all of the CD tracks simultaneously by selecting all of the track, right clicking and selecting Get Info.  You can also add artwork at that point if you have specific artwork you want iTunes to use... I usually get mine from AlbumArtExchange.com. 
    If you don't edit the info before importing the CD tracks, you can sort by "date added" after importation to get all of the tracks you've already imported grouped together and edit the Album Artist field there.
    You can see below that "Guitar Heaven" stays completely intact in all views even though there are many track artist variations.
