Organizing photos into folders on iPad

Forgive me if this has been asked a lot.  I looked and could not find it but is there A way to put photos together in folders on the iPad and not through iPhoto on your computer? I downloaded iPhoto and thought that I could do it on there. Sorry if this is answered or simple.  Thanks!

You can select and sync multiple folders from your computer to the iPad, and each folder will get it's own album on the iPad. You will 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, and only the 'top' level of folder get albums i.e. sub-folders will be included in the parent's album.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

  • Drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?

    is it possible to drag and drop files into folders in iPad reader? or iTunes?  It is very clunkey to have to click each separate file to instruct it to move to the folder.  Better still, can I just sync an existing folder on my hard drive so the pdf's inside always remain up to date on my iPad?

    There is no way to drag and drop in Reader on an iPad.
    There is no way to sync PDFs in a folder on your hard drive to those inside of Reader.
    There are readers (which are NOT free) which let you do some of these things and have more capabilities. You might check out PDF Expert from Readdle which costs $9.99 US.

  • Sort photos into folders-within-folders? Thanks guys.

    Hey guys, does anyone know if it's possible to place photo albums into folders? I.e. Can I essentially sort my photos into folders-within-folders? If not, any opinions on the best app that achieves this? Thanks guys.

    1 - do not go into the iPhoto library using the finder and never, never make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or other programs - use iPhoto to manage your photos - it must totally control the library - it is a SQL database
    2 - Within iPhoto you can create albums from photos and you can create folders - folders can hold albums or other folders
    3 - you also have smart albums and the search in the lower left which lets you find any photo easily if you have assigned faces, places and keywords

  • How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    How can i move several emails into folders in ipad?

    You can sort by using the search feature. When you are in your mail account you use the search bar at the top to find emails from a particular sender (there are Other options as well in search). Type in that sender's address. When the emails show up in the window on the left side, select all of the emails that you want to move. Tap Edit at the bottom and the Move Folder icon will appear. Tap that icon and select the folder that you want to move the emails into.
    To move multiple emails without using the search to sort, go to your inbox and tap Edit. Then select all of the emails that you want to move. After you are done selecting them, tap the Move icon at the bottom on the left side of the account window. When you tap move, you get a choice of folder into which you can place the selected emails.

  • I have transferred some photos from an sd card using an apple adaptor to my iPad then I did a sync in iTunes. How do I now organise the photos into folders?

    I would really appreciate some help with this.

    At the moment you can't move photos between albums directly on the iPad, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos) :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.
    Until then you need to organise the photos in folders on your computer and then sync those folders to the iPad - and you need to sync all the folders (and therefore albums) that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad; not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

  • Organizing Photos in Folders or Albums

    Hello
    I have hundreds of high res photos from a film project, and I'd like to organize them for easy viewing.
    As I understand the way iPhoto works, it is basically taking/referring to actual images from their original source. (like an external drive).
    I'd like to know the best way to bring all of these photos into iPhoto;
    Do I need to import ALL of then into the Main iPhoto Library, or can I import them into separate folders or albums? I was led to believe that in order to put them into separate folders, they all need to appear in the Main Library first? Is that right?
    And what type of sub group do I need? Separate Folders? Or Separate Albums?
    What is the basic difference between them?
    Thank you
    Mike

    it is basically taking/referring to actual images from their original source. (like an external drive).
    No, actually by default it's quite the opposite. It prefers to copy the files into the iPhoto Library Folder and manage them. You can change this setting, but I do not recommend it. Very strongly. However, you can run an entire library from an external, so if you're worried about space, that's not a problem.
    Do I need to import ALL of then into the Main iPhoto Library,
    iPhoto uses exactly the same metaphor as iTunes: All pics are in the Library, albums are subsets of the library. Albums (like iTunes playlists) are virtual. A pic can be in 1, 10 or 100 albums with no disk space wasted through duplicate files.
    So, import the pic, they go in the library. Then create albums (File -> New Album) and drag the pics to the albums in whatever way you prefer. You can also tag the pics and create Smart Albums in a variety of ways.
    If your files are already sorted into folders, then drag a folder to the Source (or left-hand) pane and iPhoto will import and create an Album of the same name as the folder.
    File -> New Folder will allow you to create Folders. Folders can contain nested folders and albums, but not loose pics. A pic must be in an album to go into a folder.

  • Organizing apps into folders on computer

    Is there an easier way of organizing my apps into folders on the computer other than dragging them between 5 screens? They are organized this way on my 3Gs, but when I synched my new 4S to iTunes nothing is in folders.

  • Organizing Photos Into Albums

    I just got an iPhone 4 and its the first iPhone I've owned. I'm wondering if it's possible to organize my photos and downloaded images into different albums. I'm an organizer and it's driving me crazy that everything is lumped together. It may be a really simple process but it I just can't figure it out.

    First, you can only have one master sync album on PC's/itunes, so below is how to work around that problem:
    For windows pc's Photo albums:
    1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
    2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
    3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
    4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
    5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
    Hope this helps...

  • Sort photos into folders (like Finder)

    Hello all,
    I'm using iPhoto for a very short time now and have some trouble finding stuff in it.
    I've transferred all my pictures in the library but they're all into events or photos, organized randomly.
    I would like to have them all sorted just like in the Finder, with the folders and sub-folders.
    Do I have to do all this manually???
    Thanks already

  • How do I move photos into folders in Windows 8.1

    I loaded a number of photos off my camera and am now struggling to move them into different folders. I am unable to drag and drop, or copy and paste them into the new folders I have created and am getting more and more fedup!
    I am using an HP15-N090SA laptop set up with windows 8.1

    Hi dpa2013,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Here is a link to Copy and Paste Feature Not Working in Windows 8, from the Microsoft community. that has helped other people. Hopefully it will resolve it for you  also. If you are still experiencing this issue, I would suggest doing a clean install of Windows.  When I viewed the specifications for your system, I see it shipped with Windows 7. If you do a system recovery, it will take you back to the original OS. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) . You have an option during the recovery process to backup all your data, therefore you would not loose anything. Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7).  Here are the steps to follow before upgrading to Windows 8.1.  Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.   Please let me know the outcome.

  • How to store photos in folders on iPad 2

    looking for the best way to sync photos to the iPad 2 without loosing the folder structure.

    You can sync separate folders from your computer, and each folder should get it's own album on the iPad - you need to sync all the folders that you want in one go (so they will need to be directly off the same parent folder), as only the contents of the most recent photo sync remain on the iPad (not including a folder in a sync is how you delete that folder/album from the iPad). More general info on photo syncing here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You can't have sub-folders/albums on the iPad. If you have a Mac then you sync photo albums/events/faces via iPhoto or Aperture
    With iOS 5 in the Autumn you should (assuming that it makes it in the final release) be able to move photos between albums directly on the iPad.

  • How to import photos into Folders or Albums from backuped CD-R

    I need you advice.
    I made folders of photos in CD-R when I backuped. I would like to import them into each folders and album I made in i photo newly from the folders on CD-R. Even though I select "Add library" under "File" and drag& drop and copy from Finder window/ CD-R window, all are just imported into Library.
    Many thanks,
    Mac

    Hi Mac Ito,
    Here is something I typed out a couple of days ago for a response to another person. It might help you also.
    Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
    To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
    Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
    A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
    To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
    Go to File>new album from selection.
    You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
    Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
    Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
    Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
    Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
    Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
    Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
    Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
    Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I organize pages documents into folders on iPad?

    I'm both an author and a student and could greatly benefit from using this program for my documents, and if you look at the top of the screen, there is an icon of a folder there, but how the heck do I organize my documents into the folders?
    I can't imagine having to scroll through hundreds of documents to find the one I want... but this seems to be the only way to find things. Is it possible that we can put a man on the moon but can't organize our documents in pages?
    I think not.
    So please, somebody tell me how to deal with this mess.
    Thanks!!

    You are in the Mac iWork area. Better to ask the iPad folks.

  • Organizing photos into iphoto

    I have some photos that are in the iphoto folder and some photos that exist in a folder outside of iphoto. All of the photos can be seen by iphoto. I was wondering the best way to get the photos that reside outside iphoto into it.
    I want to make sure that the system doesn't create duplicates especially if I have to go one by one to delete them. That would be a disaster. I have about 2000 photos in this folder.

    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click - Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library. You can do the same id there is a folder of images called Recovered and or Imported.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
