Photo Album Folders?

I'm wondering when Apple will make folders available to create with in the iPhone Photo Album so that the camera roll photos can be organized without having to go through the computer first. I don't want to buy an app to do what the iPhone should already do. We can create playlists on iPod app, so the same idea should be added to the Photo Album. I have over 1,000 pics and want to organize them in albums. Anytime soon???

So you have 1000's of photos in the camera roll? The same camera roll that is a special temp area that as with any digital camera (that is how that partition of space is detected by computers) you should keep clean. The same space that has a limit to what it can hold since it is a temp place. A place that yes is part of your backup but as many can attest to, can be lost if backup get corrupt or something goes wrong.
So why don't you take them off to your computer as fully intended as your computer is the primary location to store your data as the iPhone is NOT a backup device. Once on your computer then your normal backup routines to protect your data will be available (I assume you backup your important files). And once on the computer, you can easily sort and organize your photos.
All of this helps protect your data as the phone is fully intended to by synced and important data backed up to your computer regularly.

I am no longer able to sync multiple photo albums/folders on my iphone. I use to be able to sync many folders and now itunes only gives the option of 1 folder. How do I get back to the multiple folder option?

first time to the discussion forum. Like I stated in the title, I use to be able to have all my photo albums sync to my iphone. I did something and now it only allows me to "sync photos from..." and it only allows me to chose from 1 of my folders and not pick multiple folders from my photo library. does anyone know how to get back to the multiple folder option? I'm sure its simple since I changed this so easily when trying to add a single folder to my library.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How do I create photo album folders or files ? As it stands, ihave some 500 pics saved but only want to play some of them for a slideshow presentation?

How do I create file folders or photo albums to save photos in specific designated area for subsequent playback as a slideshow. As it stands, I have approx 500 photos in new I Pad 2, however need to only play about 30 in a slideshow. Thank you

For the Photos app you need to put the photos into different folders on your computer and then sync those folders to the iPad - you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad. There are third-party apps that you can copy photos to on the iPad which I think might allow you to do slideshows, but I havn't used any of them.
With iOS 5 in the Autumn you will (assuming that it makes it to the final release) be able to (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos) :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.

Photo Albums - Syncing

Problem with Creating Web Photo Album

I have Dreamweaver CS 4 and I tried to make a web photo album using a trial version of Fireworks CS4. Once Fireworks starts I get an error message saying there is a problem with Fireworks and it shuts down. The photo album folders and html pages are created, but the pictures aren't there. I've done on another computer and it works great. Could there be a problem with the trial version of Fireworks? I can open Fireworks on its own and works fine.
Thanks for any help

How are you uploading your site to the server? Are you using iWeb's ftp capability? For some unknown reason it can fail at uploading changes to the site and leave vital pages out causing problems like you're experiencing. Have you tried using the File ➙ Publish Entire Site menu option to get all of the new files uploaded?
If this continuse you might have to use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyFTP or Transmit to upload the new files manually. All of those apps provide a Finder like window of your server so you can easily drag and drop the required files onto the server.
To determine exactly what files are missing and where they go bring up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page in Safari. It will list all of the files it expects to find and indicate those which are missing.
If a file is missing a Not Found will be listed at the right.
Note: The bottom of your Contact page runs off the content portion of the page and can't be seen. Either lengthen the length of the page with the Inspector/Page/Layout pane or add an empty text box and drag it downward pushing the footer area below the last of the content.

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events?

How can I archive photos in iPhoto to a hard drive and retain the Album folders and the Events? I tried to Export the Albums but just transferred the files individually.

If you want to maintain the iPhoto organisation then back up the iPhoto Library.
If you want to export to the Finder, well you need to create a folder for the contents of an Album and expot to that.
If you have an older version of iPhoto: Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events. This feature is built in to iPhoto 11.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.

how can i save a photo album that i created on my iPhone 4s on my PC? I have about 10 albums and I want to save them in their own folders on the PC. When hooking up the phone to the PC, all i see is the individual photos. I have an iMac and a sony vaio, so i am open to transfer on either machine.

Have you had any luck with this? I want to do the same thing and my individual photo albums on my iPhone won't tranfer to my laptop or iPad....only the pictures.

Access OneDrive photo albums, not folders of type "pictures"

Hi,
is there a way to access the photo albums I created in OneDrive through the API? I am referring to the newly introduced Albums under Photos > Albums and not the folders of type "Pictures" that I can get by calling /me/albums. The latter one
only returns folders like "SkyDrive camera roll", "Pictures", "Videos" and the like, but I want the albums I created, like "Madrid 2015" and so on, which are not folders in OneDrive.
Thanks,
Sebastian

Unfortunately, there isn't a query that will return the folders that you've created. However, the new OneDrive API returns the "createdBy" value which you can use to display only the folders that was created by your application.
There are also app folders (http://onedrive.github.io/misc/appfolder.htm) which is a dedicated folder for your app.

My photos in my folders aren't copying to ipad in same order as computer even after renaming sequentially. It's a photo album so need same order

My photos in my folders aren't copying to ipad in same order as computer even after renaming sequentially. It's a photo album so need same order

On iOS 6 the photos are copied over (from here) in date modified order. So you will either need to amend the photo's on your computer so that their modified dates are in your required order, or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which allow you to change an album's sort order within the app e.g. by date, size, or by dragging them into your own sort order.

Wanting additional folders within the photo album folder

Hi, i want to create several folders within Photo Albums, ie holiday pics, movies etc etc.
Currently in itunes, i have 'sync photos from' and i have selected iphone (a folder on my desktop on my pc) and have selected all folders and videos. Within this folder, ther are several folders.
When i sync, under photo albums i get 'Photo Library' and this contains 3 photos from my iphone folder on my PC. There are no folders appearing that i have created etc.
If i choose 'slected folders' instead and then select all the folders it displays on itunes, then sync, under photo albums, the photo library vanishes!
Any ideas of how i put some folders on?
Thanks

Same thing happened to me. The latest update (9.3.1) didn't undo the damage. Not crazy about trying to rearrange all the photos back to their original events (if I can find them.....)

How to create folders for photo albums

How to create folders for photo albums?

More detail please? Are you talking about photos synced to the Photos app in the iPad, or photos taken by the iPad camera, emailed to it or added by a camera kit? Have you checked the User Guide for this - availble through the IPad Manuals link at the very start of this forum?

Photo Albums Vs. Folders

Hi, since I use Lightroom and not iphoto I created a folder on my desktop to sync my photos. They load fine but seems like there is an extra folder on my touch called "Photo Library" which shows the content of all of my subfolders? Does this take more room on the iPod is there a way to get rid of it or is this just a different folder that the ipod needs to have on there? thanks.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
The tv can use events as well as albums, although this doesn't resolve the OP's issue, which is simply one of a large number of photo albums. I have a lot of photo albums (without checking, I think I have around 250) and scrolling through them can be challenging.
What I do is to keep albums organised into groups such as 'Holidays', 'Weddings' etc and introduce a specific character at the start of the album title, which indicates which group the album belongs to.
For example ' ☼ Marmaris 2008 ' or ' ♡ Mark and Jasmine's Wedding 1969 '
It doesn't reduce the long list of albums on the tv, but it does help to keep themed albums together in the list and so makes finding the specific album you are looking for much easier.

Adust feature not working follow up Question/ lost album folders!

I tried trashing my iphoto plist from preferences and now have lost all my album folders which have very important projects sets I'm working on. I didn't empty the trash so I still have the folder but putting it back didn't seem to work. Is there a way to get my albums back. Help please! It's kind of important for me.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

1.) How do I organized my photo album on my ipad?
2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, 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
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
