Photo albums inside photo albums

Hi
Over the years I have been creating an organised photo library on my PC. What I have is folders which have dates and names of occasions eg '2011-09-12 - Holiday 1'.
Some folders have folders within them ie if it was a two week holiday, pictures from each day are saved in their old sub folders. So using the same folder example as above I would have sub folders like '2011-09-12, '2011-09-13' etc.
This setup is ideal as each sub folder contains hundreds of pics so if they were in one master folder it would take ages to view or find pics. The above setup works well with my PC and other networked devices like my ps3 as they can see the main folders and allow you to also select sub folders. However Apple doesn't seem to like this!!
When I sync my iPhone 4 or iPad 2 to my PC it brings the top level folder/album name over but then throws every pic under this, so no sub folders/albums!! This then gives you the problem of having hundreds of pics to sift through.
Does anyone know if you can create sub folders/albums within folders/albums either on the devices, through iTunes or via another app?
Thanks for your input.

I love Apple products for their performance, simplicity and clean look but they bottle my mind with stupid little things like this. I keep a well organized filing structure and I hate how my albums with sub-folders get jumbled into one album. There's two solotions that I can think of. Take all your sub-folders out and make them primary folders. This wil obviously create a butt load of folders on your phone and disorganize your filing system on your PC. Or, you can have the best of both worlds. Jailbreak your devices! You'll have full control like on a PC. I can now access my files and create subfolders with ease! Just do your homework before attempting this feat and back everything up. After you free your device from it's confines you'll notice increase in battery life and greater performance!

How do I rearrange order of photos inside an iPhoto album?

Is anyone having similar problems? I cannot seem to drag them around to change the order of my photos within the album inside iPhoto.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

I can't get this to work either. Very frustrating for something that I purchased. I might as well have just stuck with the photo album that comes with the Ipad. Can't seem to get any help here, especially when you look at the date of the first message. When I "hold" the photo down on the album it never "wobbles". I don't know what people are talking about when they mention a journal. No instructions on that either.
I'm seeing a general trend where if you but any apple software, you are on your own to learn it. Not good.

Hi, I need help. yesterday I copied one of my photo albums from my computer to Ipad 6 , using itunes. The album was successfully copied but my already few existing photo albums are suddenly empty, The album title is there but no photos inside.

Hi
Need your help. Some of my photo albums are showing as a blank after copying a photo album from my computer to ipad 6 using itunes. Can anyone help., Those albums were my treasure and i do not have any back of those.

It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
<description>...</description>
tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
You should really have a language tag, e.g.
<language>en-us</language>
(you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
<itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

I am having troubel moving mycamera rool inside of my photos and making separate photo albums

Iam having troubel moving my camera rolls in my photos on my iphone 4 i would like to make more albums

I have the same configuration:
10.7.2 Aperture 3.2.2
When I drag an image from one project to another it just moves to the other project - no special preference settings required.
If there are several versions of the same image, all versions go along with the image.
If the images are stacked, all versions and all of the stack move to the new project.
Only if images are synched with other services, iCloud, MobileMe then occasionally they appear again in their original albums. Are your images part of synched albums?

Is there a way to put a Photo Album Inside a Photo Album?

Thanks

To add to Keith's suggestion look at this tutorial: 09 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. Following it would result in an DVD that could be mailed to whomever for use. They would just have to drag the library from the DVD or CD to the Desktop and open it with iPhoto. Then order the book thru their local iPhoto source.

How to delete the Downloads album in Photos (iOS7)

Good evening!
I'm writing here today to seek some help on an issue I have inside the Photos app on my iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.4.
Some weeks ago I transfered/added some pictures to my iPhone from my Mac using iTunes. I had those pictures in a specific location where I had copied them from their specific locations. After syncing, the pictures came into my iPhone on a new "album" called Downloads. Here you can see a caption of said album in my iPhone's Photos app:
My problem is that I cannot eliminate those pictures, or the entire album, nor I can "de-syncronize" them from iTunes, since nothing appears there as if it was synced with my iPhone. The only thing I can do with those pictures is add them (copying them, of course) to a new album that I have to create (it doesn't even let me add them to the Camera Roll).
I honestly don't know what else to try, and I don't want to spend a lot of time with this ridiculous problem. Honestly, I think that after Steve Jobs passed away, Apple has started to screw things up very badly with things like that, let alone other major (and more visible) issues... Why is it so freaking hard to transfer photos to and from my Mac to my iPhone? Why can't I transfer some pictures that I needed for a specific evening and then simply erase them? Is it a bug on iOS? Am I missing something? Did I fail to pass the Masters Degree needed now to perform these kind of actions?
Honestly, Apple, I thought I'd never say this, but I'm strongly considering switching to an Android device! Failing on these basic things is simply UNACCEPTABLE!
I kindly ask for help to anyone that is experiencing (or has experienced) the same problem and found out a solution. I must say that I prefer a solution that doesn't require to reset to factory settings and restore from backups, since I'm reluctant to do any of that. Any other ideas or guidance will be much appreciated!
Thank you very much beforehand for your time!
Best regards!

Restart iPhoto for iOS.
Go to the Home screen and click on the Home button twice to display the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on iPhoto until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
Restart iPhoto and let the photo library rebuild. Is the edited photo still there?

Is there a way to import just 1 photo album from iPad to my PC

Is there a way to import phots from just 1 album from my iPad to my PC?

Yes. Just sync that one album of photos. Its that simple. If that album is nested inside another photos album, just select that particular album in the Sync Photos From heading in the photos tab of iTunes.

Picture won't show up in my Photo Album; big white blank rectangle space

There is a picture of Sammy Lee, the Olympic Gold Medalist diver, that refuses to show up in one of my Photo Albums on Safari.
I have done everything that everyone has taught me. I have cleared the cache many times. I have clicked onto a site ourside my own site (actually Allyson's site about the tips for iWeb). I have published all to .Mac. The photo still shows up as a white rectangular space.
It is not like other times when a photo doesn't show up, because in those cases, there is a question mark in a blue box. With this case, there is no question mark inside a blue box. There is only a white space where the picture would be/was.
I even went back to iPhoto and put in another copy of that picture, all to no avail.
QUESTION:
What else can I do to make the picture show up on my Photo Album page?

I think it could be the comma causing the problem, actually. Here is a line from the slideshow.html file
new SlideImage('http://web.mac.com/lorna6/iWeb/Lorna%20x%203/395844EC-4CEE-4545-8AD 3-7E66F83391ECfiles/W%3ASammy%20Lee,%20swimmer2.jpg', 321, 450, 'With Sammy Lee, Olympic champion diver & Gold Medalist. He went on to coach Greg Louganis. At L.A.U.S.D., Office of Bilingual Instruction (It no longer goes by that name.) Mid-80’s'),
The colon has transferred ok, but there are a lot of commas used in the code to call up the photos in the slideshow and the comma in the file name (and, possibly, the caption) could be causing some problems.
I don't know enough about this to know for sure (need to consult a higher source...), but it sure couldn't hurt removing it to see if it helps.

Photos and photo albums disappeared, but iPhoto library still has 60 GB.

Photos and photo albums disappeared, web gallery titles remain but show (0). iPhoto library still has 60 GB size. How do I retrieve photos, events and albums. Thanks in advance.

Are you getting an "!" in the window when you try to edit a photo. The "!" means that the library has lost the file path to the original file. This happens when there has been an interruption to iPhoto while it is writing to it's database file, Library6.iPhoto. Moving, renaming files or folder inside the library package while in the Finder is another way you can get that indication. Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Aperture will not add photos to existing Facebook Albums

I am currently using Aperture 3.4.5 ..
I have a host of over 50 existing albums on my facebook and I regularly add content to them without any issues what-so-ever, however, two days ago, I tried to add 4 photos to an existing alblum using the normal method of: highlight photos, Share/Facebook, pick the album name from drop down menu, publish. Normally at this stage, at the bottom of the Aperture window, it'd say something like publish or sync with Faceboon ... but not this time.
I then go to check in my Facebook tab under Web, click into the album and found that the photos which I wanted to add are showing a tick on them, suggesting that the photos are already uploaded onto facebook but the photo count does not match, for example, the album had 8 photos in and i tried to add 4 more, .. the photo count still shows 8 but inside the ablum, all 12 photos have ticks onto of them.

What is the source and details of the format of the photo that will not sync?

Photo Albums in the Media menu for Numbers is a total mess and not usable.

"Media" photo albums are now unusable in Numbers and Pages. I have 30,000 photos spanning 5 years and Numbers has created an album for every day that I have taken a photo. This is all mixed up with my own albums that I have created. How can I get rid of the "album for every day" that the app has created. Note this is inside Pages and Numbers, not in the Photos App. My Photos App shows the albums correctly.
All apps are the latest and on MacBook Pro.

The issues you are experiencing ARE because of Lion - either its a corrupt install or its software conflict with something/s else on your system that is not compatible with Lion. This is evident by the fact that your system runs fine under Snow but not under Lion.
However, solutions are available if you are willing to work towards them.
Given the range of symptoms you reports, as I indicated above, you should try to reinstall Lion with a fresh download from the App Store because sometimes the original download is itself corrupted in some way (I learned this the hard way through personal experience).
If that doesn't solve your problems then you need to go the lengthier road of isolating the s/w conflicts. The first step in doing that is to remove everything from here:
 > System Preferences.. > Users & Groups | Login Items
then restart and test without firing up anything else.
If the problems persist, create a new user account (again in  > System Preferences...> Users & Groups), log in to it, and test. If the problems are seen in that account also, then restart the mac in Safe Mode and test again.
If after having done all this the problems remain, then post back and I or someone else will take you through the next steps.
It's not because of Lion.

How to delete one of your photo albums but doesn't have a red thing

I went on my friend's computer to download my pictures from my pervious phone, I noticed that the pictures came up twice in 2 different albums. It won't allow me to delete on or both of the albums. Also when I take a picture it goes into a third album "Camera Roll". What do I do?

Hello,
This should help.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Under the section on "To delete photos and videos from your device."
When you sync photos from a computer, the only way to remove the photos is through the computer again.
If the photos were inside of a folder, they would be inside an album named after that folder, and you would also have another album named "Photo Library"
Camera roll is, as roaminggnome mentioned, where your photos and videos go that you take on the device. These can be deleted freely on the phone with no issue. Only photos that were moved from a computer will need to be removed through iTunes.
Hope this helps!

How do I create multiple photo albums?

I was curious as to how I can create multiple photo albums using only the iPhone 4. I found out a way to creat "one" album. But I can't even change the name of it and it's not very useful if I can only create one album. I have a lot of pictures on my phone and I would like to sort them out. I use Windows 7 not a Mac. (Wish I had one though)
Also, will the iOS 5 allow users to create photo albums using only the phone? The current OS doesn't seem to allow it.
Thanks for your time!

I should have fiddled with my computer more. I figured it out by creating a "Master" folder. And inside that folder contains more folders with my organized pictures. But, would still like to be able to do this all on the phone. That would make the iPhone just THAT much more simple.

Placing photo albums in order

Hi all!
First thing first, I work in a photography studio in Spain and all of our tech stuff is Apple. We love it and it goes great until.... it doesn't!
Me and my boss use our iPads very often for presentations, we have most of our pictures (over 15 thousand) in the iPad, we have them in iPhoto organized in albums and sync them with iTunes. All was nice and smooth, then iOs 5.0 came around and we loved it, iCloud and all the other goodies are great for the office but the photo part started acting weird. All of a sudden the photo albums started having a strange random order, an order that would change every time we sync with iTunes. Having over 50 albums their order is key for smooth presentations with clients and partners. So I started calling the Apple assistance, went to the store, over and over and over and no one seemed to know why this happens until someone at the Apple store told me to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder from inside the iPhoto library and the magic happened: finally the pictures were syncing right! Phew!! But then we started realizing that every single time we sync we need to delete the iPod Photo Cache folder or the order goes nuts again..
I tried Aperture and it's great but same problem: the albums are in the right order in iTunes when I sync them but then in the device they are in some random weird order that makes no sense.
So the question is: can you advise a way to effectively sync pictures between the mac and the iPad so that albums appear in an order I defined my photo software (iPhoto/Aperture/MS Paint/whatever)? Is there any third-party app that would do that? ANY help will be rewarded with huuuuuge amounts of greatfulness for the rest of my life
Gracias!

I'm not sure there is an order because even if I have not added any photos to my iPhoto albums, the order always changes every time I sync.
When I do add photos to existing albums, or even great new albums, they don't follow alphabetical order like they do in iPhoto. Some albums stay where they are, others don't follow along.
