Photo albums with video

Hi all,
I can't surely be the only one with this problem so i would like to know what solutions people have come up with.
My folders are organized as follows: YEAR>EVENT
So for example in my 2012 folder i will have many sub folders with all the events of that year for example '27th feb my birthday'.
Within that folder i will have all the pics and videos that were taken of that event.
I used to use windows until few weeks ago. Becuase i couldn't find any suitable program i just used the standard explorer to view and navigate my photos/videos.
But now i have a mac i want to use iphoto especially due to syncing capability with the iphone.
i have made folders in iphoto (2009/2010/2011 etc) then within those folders i have albums for each event in that year.
i assume that when an event happens (night out, birthday etc) most people will end up with a collection of photos AND videos from that event. Now obviously i know this is called iphoto, but surely it makes sense to be able to see both photos and videos in the same app? if you are showing someone the pics from say your sons 1st birthday, do you open iphoto to show the pics then open a different application to then show the videos that may have been taken as well? surely that doesn't make much sense, it makes much more sense to have 1 universal application for your albums which contain both the photos and videos of that event.
Any ideas?

sorry i think you misunderstood what i was said:
i have tried apples built in facility to encode the file into a format imovie can read, and it converts the video but theres no sound. i have done a search and found many people with this same issue, and as with these sorts of things you can get lost in a maze trying to look for an answer.
my point is simple, i cant be bothered going down that route as i have better things to do in my time, it makes no sense when there is a very simple answer: use an alternative video encoder. i wasn't asking anyone to give me the solution to make apples encoder work because i can't be bothered to work it out myself, i was asking if anyone can recommend any good free encoding apps i could use instead. again i can go and find them myself but whole point of this forum is to get experiances from other people and see what others recommend as they would already have tried it themselves and would know if its good or not.

    Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
    This will open a series of windows with tabs.
    Select the tab for photos.
    Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
    They will be removed.

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.

  • Error message when I try to publish an iWeb photo album with audio to Mobileme:

    I get the following error message when trying to publish a photo album with audio from iWeb to Mobileme.  I've checked my account and I have plenty of available space on Mobileme and have logged in there.
    An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/qg/qg-Qwo-82RWdDU+8ZNhusU+++TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.i Web_9121_TEMP_344183369_3/sites/Site/Grand_Canyon_11_Slideshow_part_1_2_files/or iginal_2.jpg”. Try publishing again later.
    Is there a problem with my photos or other content (I've added some songs to play in the slideshow)
    Dan H.

    First see if you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive.  You can select the folder by clicking on the site's folder in iWeb and using the Publish To: menu.
    If that's successful try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I would like to burn an i-photo album with subtitles to a CD with the photos in the same sequence as they appear in the album and to have the CD work the same on a PC as on the MAC.

         I have created several i-photo albums with subtitles and proceeded to burn them to a CD. The CD burned with the correct subtitles, however, the photos did not appear in the same sequence.  I tried another method and the photos appeared in the proper sequence, however, my subtitles did not appear as in the albums. Is there a method that I can burn an album to a CD with the photos in the same sequence and with the same subtitles as in the album?
         I would also like this CD to work the same on a PC as it does on a MAC.

    sorry but files on a CD have no order - filles are simply bits on the disk - the file viewer used to view them determines the order of viewing - for example using the finder on the Mac you can view files in Alpha order, date created order, date modified order, file size  order, etc, etc, etc
    If you expor tthe files to a desktop folder using the sequetial option then the finder (and probably Windows explorer) would display them in the order you want IF the user views them in alpha order
    Bottom line is that you have no control over how the end user views files - that they make

  • Online Photo Albums With Dreamweaver/FireWorks

    I try to make an online photo album with dreamweaver and fireworks and it says an "internal error occured" and wont work. Any idea wha the problem is?

    Hi,
    I am really not sure why you would have that problem. If there is any way you can explain what you did exactly in your coding.
    Are you trying to do this in your website?

    If you are trying to do a photo album there are several tutorials online that help you out(are you trying to use Flickr?). I personally make my own photo slideshows using Flash.

  • How to sync an iphone created photo album with aperture

    hello,
    how can I do to sync a iPhone created Photo Album with Aperture?.
    First of all, I created a new Photo Album on my iPhone (IOS 5.x), then I want it to sync with Apple Aperture 3, but Aperture created no new Album in the Project Folder. What can I do?
    Best Regards
    Sigi

    If the album was placed on the phone by syncing photos from a computer to the phone, the way to remove it is to sync again but this time remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes (if you want to remove all previously synced photos) or change the selection of photos in iTunes to be synce. Each time you sync photos using iTunes it sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/photo selection in iTunes.

  • Trouble synching Photo Album with 1600+ photos and videos

    I have a very big album with over 1600 pics and videos. At some point after 1200 or so, I started getting error messages when trying to synch my photos to my computer. I am terrified to loose my pictures and want them on my phone at all times (they represent a video journal of my now year old twins since they were born). Does anyone have any idea of how I can continue to synch them with my computer without having to erase them from my phone?
    Thank you!

    Photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This is an import process, not a sync process.
    With every other digital camera I've used and imported photos and/or video from, I've always deleted the photos and/or video from the digital camera after the import process is complete.
    After doing the same with your iPhone, you can transfer selected photos and video back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - creating separate albums by month for example for the 1600 photos and videos. Keeping your iPhone's Camera Roll to a minimum will speed up your iPhone's backup process - which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
    With iPhoto on my Mac when importing photos from my iPhone or from any digital camera, Events are created automatically based on the date the photos were taken. An Event is created for all photos captured on a particular day with an option to split a single Event into multiple Events. I can also create albums for select photos with an option to transfer selected iPhoto albums and/or Events to my iPhone keeping photos organized by Event and/or by Album as I prefer on my computer which is also reflected with the Events and/or Albums I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone.

  • How do i share a photo album with another computer

    I have edited a photo album that I wish to share with another computer in my network.  How do I import the album?

    If you want to share them as an album the only way to do this is to use  iPhoto Library Manager
    Using this will also preserve versions and all metadata
    Alternatively you can simply export to a folder (File -> Export) and then import to the other Library. If you drag the folder to the Album heading it will create an Album for you. You can get almost all metadata (but not Faces) this way if you export to jpeg, but you won't get versions.

  • Synchronizing certain photo albums with iTunes 9 to AppleTV or iPhone

    Hey,
    can somebody please explain to me how to synchronize certain Photo album to my AppleTV or iPhone? Whenever I select the device on the left hand side list in iTunes (9.0.2) and go to the "Photos" tab on the right hand side I only have the choice between "All Photos, Events,.." and "Synchronizing photos before anything else". The choice in the middle "selected album, Photos, Events, ..." is always greyed out and not selectable.
    So: What do I have to do the synchronize certain photo albums ? I am using Mac OS X 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.2 and iPhoto 8.1.1

    wjosten posted "Re: Cannot sync selection of iPhoto to iPhone" in "Cannot sync selection of iPhoto to iPhone" on Dec 27, 2009 4:29:17 AM.
    You need to go into your iPhoto application and turn off (or disable) all music that is tied to any of your self-created slideshows. This error seems to be directly related to odd characters in the titles of the songs in your slideshows. Then sync your photos. Afterward, you can then "try" and go back in and re-attach your songs inside your slideshows, and see if your iPhoto photos will again sync without the -50 error.

  • Syncing Photo albums with iPad

    I am trying to sync 3GB of photos with the 'Photoshop Album', and I also tried just syncing those specific folders too, and it says "The iPad cannot be synced. There is not enough memory." But there is 21GB of "free" space. I am confused. Any ideas?

    There are a couple of different resets for the iPad:
    In the settings app:
    (page 125 of iPad Users Guide).
    "Resetting iPad
    Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information, such as your contacts and
    calendars, and media, such as your songs and videos, aren’t deleted.
    Erase all content and settings: Choose General > Reset, then tap “Erase All Content
    and Settings.”
    This resets all settings to their original values and erases all your information
    and media.
    Reset network settings: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings.
    When you reset network settings, your list of previously used networks and VPN
    settings not installed by a configuration profile are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and
    then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to
    Join Networks” settings remain turned on.
    To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, choose Settings > General
    Profile, then select the profile and tap Remove. "
    You can also reset by (page 136 of iPad Users Guide).
    "If that doesn’t work, reset iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
    Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears."

  • ITunes syncs new photo albums with duplicate photos

    I have Windows 7 and have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.
    I have been trying to sync photos into an album on my phone. After syncing I find duplicate photos in the album. Only one or two photos have not been duplicated. Also, I can also no longer select "Selected Folders" in iTunes.
    The folder on my PC does not have any duplicate photos in it.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem. The folder in my computer has 101 pictures, and 101 pictures show up on my iPhone 4S. The problem is that only about half the pictures transfer and those get duplicated on the phone. I've tried rearranging the pictures on my computer and repeatedly synching.
