Organizing in the iPhone 3G
How do you create new folders and organize photos on an iPhone 3G? I would like to put Artwork in one plce and family in another. I see only camera roll. Last night's party should not be next to my sweet little niece. Thanks.
Make a new folder on your computer for each photo category you would like to have on the iPhone. Move the pictures you want under each category into those folders. Examples, Karen's parties, Vacation at Disney World, Family pic, etc etc. They connect your iPhone to the computer, under the photos tab select the folders you have just created and sync them to the iPhone.

Suggestion to overhaul the photo/syncing/organizing system on the iPhone
I am currently going through and organizing my camera roll's photos into different photo albums, and I realized that the way photo organization is currently implemented is simply NOT up to Apple's standard of usability (****, it's not even up to Microsoft's....)
Not only can I not directly transfer images from the Camera Roll to an album of my choice directly on the iPhone, I can't even do that from within iTunes nor can I create albums directly on the iPhone (why not!????). The only way I can do that on Windows 7 is by manually creating folders outside of iTunes, and then syncing them.
But that got me thinking that not even the album approach to organizing photos is good. Say for instance I want to organize my photos by both people AND places. For instance I go on a trip and have a photo of a friend. In order to place that photo in an album for that trip, as well as place that photo of my friend in an album for that friend, I need to have TWO instances of the same photo, which takes up twice the space on my phone. Furthermore, I have to clone it manually via Windows etc.
What the iPhone needs is a simple, tried and true image tagging system, whereby the photo albums are not physical albums, they're simply based off of tags. This means the same photo can appear in multiple albums without requiring multiple instances of it on the phone.
Further, photos then become search-able via the phone's search spotlight. Currently the albums are not even search-able, let alone specific images. But if image tagging were to be implemented, it would allow particular "albums" to show up in the search results.
So rather than adding the ability to create albums via the phone and to move images from the Camera Roll to a particular album, you simply allow the user to create a bunch of pre-defined tags which can show up in a list when you go to tag each photo.
If Apple's feeling really ambitious, it could use the multi-select approach the camera role uses for sharing/deleting. Select a bunch of images, and apply the same tag(s) to all of them.
Meanwhile the current list of "albums" would appear exactly as it does now, except those albums would simply be based off the tags.
Anyway, there's no real point to this post other than to rant about how utterly poor the usability of the photo organization system is on an otherwise well thought-out device, and to offer a solution to fix it.The sync process for photos is for the most part is centered around using iPhoto on a Mac, or with using a supported 3rd party photo management app on a PC.
Photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are designed to be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. iPhoto supports importing photos from any digital camera including from the iPhone's Camera Roll. iPhoto includes a places and faces feature. In order for a photo to be available in an available iPhoto album, event, places, and faces, the photo must be in the main iPhoto library. A photo in an iPhoto album, event, places, and faces is not duplicated and can be in all 4 categories. A photo in an album event, places, and faces includes a pointer to the original photo stored in the iPhoto library. The same with iTunes playlists. You can't have a song in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library, and a song can be in multiple playlists without being duplicated. A song in an iTunes playlist is not duplicated.
What the iPhone needs is a simple, tried and true image tagging system, whereby the photo albums are not physical albums, they're simply based off of tags. This means the same photo can appear in multiple albums without requiring multiple instances of it on the phone.
Already done this way with iPhoto on a Mac, and should be the same when using a 3rd party photo management application on a PC. -
I cannot sync my iTunes library or any playlists to my iPhone due to a message that reads "The iPhone "-----" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation. I also have music on my iPhone that will not sync to my iTunes library. Any way to sync the two together?
I hope this helps. Not the easiest fix, but I suspect it will solve the problem.

The reason photos need to be able to go back to the iPhone in original size
I have been looking around to try and find a way to get photos that have been pulled from the iPhone then resynced up to the iPhone to retain their original size, but it appears that there's no workaround for this. That is a very big problem for me. I'm an iPhone photographer and I've taken nearly 4000 photos on my phone. Every week or two I'll resync up my phone to the PC, dump the images to the PC then re-sync them up to the phone organized into folders by date. So far so good.
The problem comes when I need to go back and re-edit some of those photographs. I no longer have access to the original sized images on my phone, and my photography work requires that all editing is done exclusively on the iPhone, but I need to maintain the maximum possible resolution on those images. Unfortunately once I sync the photos, I can no longer go back and re-edit them in their full resolution. I'm forced to deal with small images now that do not meet my resolution requirements.
I can understand resizing the images to a size that's more practical for display on the iPhone since under normal circumstances there's no reason to have a 1600x1200 image on a phone that can only display 480x320. But this is really a serious issue for me as I don't have them on there simply for viewing, but I have them there for editing and manipulating. With the advent of the App Store, and all the Photography apps that are on the market, the iPhone is actually a very powerful tool for artistic expression and to have it forceably limited to a low-resolution import really is absurd.
This may not be an issue for the majority of iPhone users, but for me it is critical. The resizing of photographs needs to be an OPTION, not a REQUIREMENT so that people like me can utilize the iPhone to its maximum potential. This limitation takes it, in my view, from being a serious tool, to a casual toy.
My only other option is to not sync the photos up to the PC (aside from simply copying them over as a backup and leaving them on the phone) and have an un-organized camera roll of 3-4000 photos. This simply isn't very practical.
Thank you, and I'd like to hear your comments on this. (Actually, I'd like to see Apple fix this in their next update...)

I thought that originally too, but that's all changed with the pool of apps that are out there now. So now what I'm trying to do is to prove that technology is progressing to the point where a tiny, handheld phone can produce images that are nearly as good as photos taken with much more expensive and bulky equipment. I've got my share of expensive bulky camera equipment, but I'm finding that I'm having much more enjoyment out of using my iPhone from initial capture, to editing, to publishing, and achieving results that are nearly as good.
I do think you're working under a bit of a handicap. For example, lens quality. Here's an iPhone photo example of some wild turkeys in the neighborhood masked by flare that would be much better controlled on an SLR lens (click to enlarge - the flare is obvious, the turkeys are not):
At the same time, working under a handicap can definitely spur creativity, similar to the oft-cited example of swapping out your zoom lens for a prime to force yourself to pay attention to composition.
It's an interesting concept - I wish you luck! -
How do I create multiple contact groups in the iphone?
I am syncing w/ Windows Contacts in Vista. Is it possible to create multiple groups of contacts? For example - a group for friends and family, another group for customers, etc...
Ansuz82 wrote:
I do it by setting up different categories in Outlook. These sync as groups to the iPhone
I created groups and organized all my contacts into the groups using Outlook. However, the iPhone doesn't give me the option to view the contacts in groups, nor does it even mention or list the group name when you view the contacts individually. -
ICal To-Do's and the iPhone Calendar
Why is it that at this stage of development, Apple has yet to offer a solution to manage and sync iCal to-do's with the iPhone Calendar? Am I missing something? It seems obvious that Apple is giving third party developers the opportunity to write the many wonderful To-Do apps out there, and there are many. The problem is, this doesn't fix the problem of sync-ability. I know that there are ways to sync between these third party apps and things such as their own desktop software (Things), which will then sync to to iCal. There are others that will sync to Google Calendar and/or Google Docs, but this is hardly a simple solution. There are always complications when you start syncing too many things to too many places, as the software doesn't always line up pretty.
I'm basically just looking for a simple solution to use iCal, my iPhone Calendar and a To-Do function that will sync seamlessly with both. The most natural thing would be for Apple to include To-Do creation in the iPhone Calendar app with full sync capability with iCal. I find it shocking that Apple hasn't written for this.
There are nice applications out there such as Pocket Informant that integrates a beautiful (and much more powerful calendaring function) with a To-Do function within the same application, but they have no ability to sync with iCal, nor do they have a desktop version of their software.
If anyone has any ideas on this, or advice on the best way to integrate iCal, To-Do's and the iPhone Calendar, please let me know. In the meantime, I will post feedback to the Apple developers with a seemingly obvious enhancement request.
Message was edited by: macorinWith all due respect, I completely disagree with you. Integrating To-Do's and calendar events is a very natural way of organizing things. There is an app called Pocket Informant which does a very nice job in integrating the two. Even Apple thinks they are (and could be related), or else why even include to-do's in iCal to begin with? You see, it is as if they went half way in their effort. They provide something because they think it could be a good idea, but then they put no time or effort into actually making it useful for the end user. The fact that to-do's and notes show up in mail is also pointless. Why do I need mail to see my to-do's on my computer when I could just look in iCal, which is where they were created in the first place.
Omni focus is a very powerful app. I just think that it is way overkill. What good is an app that helps you get things done, when using it actually impedes getting those things done? It literally takes so much time and effort to work with Omni (if you really want to use it correctly), that you don't have any time left over for the things you need to get done.
And by the way, don't talk about hourly rates when you use words like "Gentlements", "prolly" (for, I am assuming probably", "proccess" (there is one c) "offence" (it is offense, unless you are from the UK, which I am assuming you are not), to name a few. Anyway, spelling aside, you shouldn't really be judging what people make based on whether someone thinks an app is expensive. The fact is, Omni focus happens to be very expensive. I am not saying that it is not worth it. In fact, I really don't know. I know that it is powerful, but for someone looking for a simple way to manage the important tasks in life, Omni is not for everyone, especially when you are spending upwards of $80 when something like Put Things Off (which I like a lot better) costs around $3. -
Is there an "Unread Mail" solution for the iPhone that would allow me to see all new Unread mail in one location?
I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S). I use the Outlook client with an Exchange Server on my Desk.
In order to keep email organized, I have many subfolders (over 100) under my Inbox with rules that automatically redirect the bulk of new unread email to the subfolders.
In the Outlook client on the desktop, there is an "Unread Mail" Folder that lets me see ll unread mail in one location whether it be in the main inbox or in one of the subfolders of the inbox.
I would like to see all unread email in one location without me having to change my rules and work flow that I have been using for 7+ years?
It is much more work for me (so far) to see new email on the iPhone. You have to scan each subfolder in order to tell where the new mail is that just arrived.Is there an "Unread Mail" solution for the iPhone that would allow me to see all new Unread mail in one location?

Why doesn't the iphone show up in my device
so when i use to hook up to windows the iphone would let me open up the iphone to get my pictures out but when i hook it up to my macbook it dont show up at all.. i want to get pictures off of this iphone
The iPhone does not show up on the desktop on the Mac, by design (because disk use is not possible, unlike most iPods). You need to use iPhoto or Image Capture to get the pics off the phone. iPhoto is for organizing your pics, sorting them, editing them, etc. You can choose iPhoto albums to sync back onto the phone, if you like. Image Capture is a simple app to pull images off cameras or scanners.
If you have iLife '08 or later, select iPhoto > iPhoto menu > Preferences > General tab and set the When Camera is Connected pop-up to either launch iPhoto or Image Capture. If you have an older version of iLife, that setting is in Applications > Image Capture > Image Capture menu > Preferences. -
Convincing my parents that the iPhone is a good idea
Let's put it this way: my parents are cheap. I have an '85 as my first car cause it gets the job done. I'm not complaining, but it's a little frustrating at times when it needs repairs as often as it's had. Back to the subject at hand... It's kinda like my phone. It makes calls, it gets calls. I'm not allowed to text cause of the 10 cents every time (my mom was mad when she found out i had 9 texts during last billing period). My mp3 player *****. It has about 110 songs on it, and i "choose" songs by hitting previous/back buttons. I'm full up on it and it's just a hassle with it's AAA battery always running out of life.
So, I've considered an iPod or other advanced mp3 player.
Then iPhone came out.
I could upgrade to an mp3 player that works VERY well and is really well laid out with artists/albums/songs and organized. I could have it on me all the time, i could watch movies and tv shows with it.. basically the reason all of you own (or plan on buying) an iPhone.
One catch. One BIG catch. 500 bucks. I don't plan on stooping for the 4gb since i know it won't hold everything i'd want to put on it, but if i got an iphone it'd be the refurbished 8gb at 500.
My parents letting me buy a 500 dollar phone? It'd take some SERIOUS 'battle' and 'negotiating'. I'd buy it with the money I earned from work, but they'd argue since they pay for my gas and phone bills. In fact, I know the only way I'd be able to bring this up at all is when I receive quarter (or mid-term) grades in the mail, with straight A's (or very close to).
I'd say, "Mom.. I was looking at getting this cool phone, and since I got straight A's and all..."
"What phone??? Doesn't the phone you have now do enough for you?"
"Uh.. well I was planning on using the money I got from work... it can... *please fill in this blank w/ a reply* .. for 500 bucks."
Hopefully she'll agree. But I don't see it happening unless I do a Steve Jobs grade overview of the iPhone. Suggestions??? Thanks for reading a crap-load of text.I had super-cheap parents, so I know where you're coming from.
If you mainly want a music player, you might be better off with one of the new iPods. Looks like they are coming around September 5th and they'll probably be very similar to the iPhone in every function but the phone itself. At least you should wait until then before making a final decision. You could also note to your parents that at least you are not getting committed to an expensive service agreement, like the other fellow who replied noted.
The iPhone is the best iPod made, but it has low capacity relative to other models. If you have the massive music collection most people do, you won't be able to fit it all in your iPhone and that might not make you too happy with the purchase.
The main reason to buy an iPhone in my opinion is the Mobile safari and email which lets you keep in touch with your parents and others. If they want to keep in touch with you better, that would be a selling point. If your parents see the educational value of the web, having it in your pocket and at your fingertips is undeniably useful and educational. I know that a lot of the time I would otherwise spend waiting or idle can be put to productive use with iPhone, and that's a good thing.
Hope that helps.

Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device.

How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy
An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync. Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want. -
I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?
Help!
ThanksDeleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud. In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens. Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device. It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days. When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question. However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days. When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload). Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this. If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account. -
I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely. -
