Photo organised in folder -- organised in album ?...

Hi,
I have a lot of photo already organised in my computer into folders and I tried to transfer them in my N8.
--> impossible to have them organised into album in the nikia photo viewver, I 'll have to select one by one each photo to recreate albums.
it is going to take hours for thousand of photos and it can all disapear if I might have to do a hard or soft reset.
I am missing something ?

Hi Everyone,
Yes, I also belong to your fan club ! When do we get a photo/image viewer or browser that will allow us to see only from a specific folder. I would be happy if at least I could restrict to one drive or memory for example only showing images on "E" mass memory and not those on the removable micro SD card. But this annoying gallery browser just find its anywhere. There are photo and image hider applications but that is not the idea in my case, as is not to hide because then you have to unhide/hide back and forth. The idea is not to see for example imported icons, contact thumbnails, etc.
Apparently I did find one file browser that will allow you to see the image as you browse the folder. I have to purchase it to try it out. It is File Browser from Migital available at OVI Store.
I hope we get a solution to this soon. It is becoming a very annoying problem.

ITunes no longer organising music folder???

Hello,
I've had my iTunes lib on an external for years now and no problem. I just updated to the newest version of iTunes and now everytime I add a new album it no longer adds that album to the correct artists folder. YES, I do have the "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organised" button. That is why I am so perplexed! I have restarted and nothing... I have selected an entire artists 3 albums that I have and done apple-i and changed all the artists name so that they are literally identical and still the music folder has the older 2 albums under the artists name and the recent one i've added all by its lonesome???
anyone else having this problem?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I've tried that... When you have that box check (keep folder organised) it USUALLY keeps your folder organised based on what you have in the "Artist" field, and indeed 99% of my iTunes lib is that way but every new album I add is not taking???
It is as if I don't have that box checked. That is the best way to describe this problem. The problem being that I do - and it refuses to organise by artists which is going to leave me a very messy music folder!
anyone else with this problem?

Customising automatic folder organisation in iTunes

Hi, I have a small problem with iTunes. I usually keep my songs stored in: Music/Artist/Title where the Title is in the form of Artist - Song Name. I want to add the feature of automatically updating the song file location and filename (automatic folder organisation). Is there a way to keep the format I want? Or is there some sort of AddIn which I could use?
Really appreciate the Help!
Sony VGN3VP/XP Other OS (Im using Windows Vista Business)

Is there a way to keep the format I want? Or is there some sort of AddIn which I could use?
No.
iTunes uses Artist -> Album - Song.

Itunes 8 and undoing the keep itunes music folder organised

I have recently got an Ipod and have quite a large muisc collection that i have imported into itunes.
Unfortunately I thought it would be a good idea to tick the box that says, keep the itunes folder organised, mistakenly believing that it would help me to categorise any loose tracks that i hadn't got round to manually placing within an artists folder, also i thopught it would make it easier for me to locate and remove any duplicates.
Unfortunately i didn't realise that this simple little box tick would seperate all my compilation albums, soundtracks and various albums and take all the different artists out of those, already in a folder together as an album, and create additional folders with artist name and then a further folder with the album name within.
Luckily i have since discovered that by sorting itunes by album name and then selecting all the tracks, clicking get info, clicking options then selecting yes to compilation it will put those tracks back into the folder that they came from.
The problem has arisen where I have ripped a CD previously and though i named the artist, then the album in the folders I hadn't got round to naming the tracks so i now have a folder that is filled with lots of track 01, track 02 etc and as i don't know which folder they came from I can't change the title without listening to each one, so is there any way I can get itunes to just put everything back where it was and where i was happy with the system that i had?

In short, no. There is no undo option for this feature. Back at about iTunes version 4 this could result in tracks being deleted as ones with the same information would overwrite those that had already been renamed. The current versions avoid this by appending " 1", " 2" etc. to filenames that would otherwise clash.

Change iTunes folder organisation

Currently, my iTunes \ Music folder is organised by Artist then Album then Song.
Can I change this to organise songs by Album then by Song? Or, in order to use the 'Artists' tab in iTunes, do I need to store it by Artist somewhere along the line?
Duncs

The physical organization on the drive? iTunes has only one way to do this, no options. <Media Folder>\Music\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>. (N.b. Album Artist is used in place of Artist if non-blank.)
If you mean within iTunes, explore the options in different views. Songs, for example, will let you sort on the Album column. Other views may have additional sorting options hidden under View > Show View Options (CTRL+J).

ITunes 12 - "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" feature no longer works

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I've been having.
Since updating to iTunes 12, the 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' feature no longer works. When I add media to the library, iTunes doesn't copy it to a destination within my media library. It only works if I turn the feature off, and then back on again.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't use the feature myself, but it works properly in a test library for me.
It could possibly be a permissions issue. Different processes in iTunes seem to make use of either the system or the user account for file actions and it is just possible that which has been used in that case has changed. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for details.

Photos in Data folder not appearing in iPhoto albums

I was looking through some older albums the other day and noticed that many of them only had 1 picture in them. It did not contain a bunch of other missing photos, but rather no other photos at all. After freaking out for a second, I went into the iPhoto Library ("Show package contents") and in the Data folder under the album name for that year, found the JPG files for all these photos.
Is there a way to "rebuild" the iPhoto database or something? It seems to not be synchronized with the contents of the Data folder. I'm wondering how many other albums this may have happened to.
I did recently (in the last 6 months) upgrade to iPhoto '08 so I'm wondering if it's some strange side effect of the upgrade process.

1 - are you talking about albums (the logical entities that link to photos in the library) or events - the primary way to display the contents of your library
I'm talking about the Events themselves but also the Albums that I created using pictures in those Events.
2 - it is recommended that you do not mess around in the iPhoto library - doing so can corrupt or library and create problems
I was not messing around but rather confirming that there were still JPG files in there as opposed to them having disappeared completely.
3 - the photos in the data folder are not associated with albums - they are the thumbnails for displaying photos in events or albums
Cool, that helps. I checked the Originals folder and found the original JPGs there too. I'm sure they're not thumbnails because they are all 600KB+.
4 - you can rebuild by launching iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and choosing the first three rebuild options - but this does not sound like a good bet
Why is rebuilding not a good idea?
5 - can you describe your situation in a bit more detail using the iPhoto terminology so we are all talking about the same things
Hope that helped!
Thanks,

Help! Order of photos in a Folder does not match order of albums

I have seen dozens of threads on folders and albums, sorting them etc. However did not quite find an answer to this one.
The question is : Why the order of photos in a Folder does not match with the order of Albums I have created underneath the Folder?
In other words I created a floder and placed within the folder a few albums we will call G, K, C ...etc in the chronological order in which I want to show the pictures. The pictures within the album are not strictly chronological. ( I will explain more if this is an issue)
Next when I click on the Folder, I notice that the photos are grouped by the corresponding Album which is what they should be, however their(photos) order did not correspond to that of the Albums. In other words, in the Folder view, I see photos of K first and then may be G and then may be C. I am not able to change that order to G, K, C..the way I want. This will mess up the slideshow for me.
For clarity, I created each album simply by dragging corresponding event down into the Folder. The events are sorted by date and ascending in View>Sort Events.
I appreciate any suggestions please!
Thanks

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset its preferences and try the slideshow again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Keeping itunes media folder organised slows down itunes

My itunes became very very slow indeed when I updated to version 9. I looked at self help forums and discovered that it should speed up if I unchecked "keep itunes media folder organised". I did that, and sure enough, itunes was cured.
Somebody then said that if I re-checked it, then the folder would be re-organised, and everything would be OK. I did this, and it took all night to organise my library (although it wasn't actually 'disorganised'). However itunes had just returned to being glacially slow.
So why is this happening? I can't find any cure for it, although I suppose one might have been found by now.
This is on a G4 ibook, 1.42 GHz. It ran itunes 8 with no problem at all. Leopard

Adobe photoshop album 2.0: sending photos to a folder

I previously used adobe photo deluxe but lost it due to virus. The disc is no longer available to reinstall so I am trying out photoshop album 2.0 to replace. I have windows me.
I normally ftp photos from a folder to my remote site for Ebay.
My question is does this program allow me to save file size photos in a folder so they may be ftp'd.
Thanks,
Irving

I was having the same problem on three computers. I have Adobe PhotoDeluxe Business Edition 1.0 which I love. I have used it for years with Windows 98 and recently on a newer laptop running XP. I bought another desktop with XP Professional and upgraded the old one running 98 to XP-Home Edition. For a short while all seemed to work okay. Then suddenly when I tried to save a photo as a J-Peg file, it would sit for 2-3 minutes with the dreaded hourglass cursor. Finally, the message would come up that the photo browser may not be installed correctly. I too re-installed with no luck several times.
Then I discovered that my problem seemed to be the desktop shortcut! When I tried to open the properties for the shortcut, a box came up saying the the path was not correct/ file could not be found, even though normal clicking on the shortcut would start up the Photo Deluxe program. I deleted the shortcut on the desktop and found another application file for Photo Deluxe in a different location that works perfectly. I don't know what the techno-geek explanation is, but it seems that in Windows XP, the pathway for the desk-top shortcut, which is created during installation, is wrong and does not point to the correct target application file location, so the program does not open properly.
Try this: It worked on all 3 of my XP computers!
Click/Open - WINDOWS EXPLORER,
Click/Open - MY COMPUTER,
Click/Open - YOUR HARD-DRIVE DISK (On my PC it is "C",)
Click/Open - PROGRAM FILES,
Click/Open - PhotoDeluxe BE1.0 (*OR Your Edition,)
On the right side panel, look for the application file. It is best to view details, to see which file says APPLICATION. In PhotoDeluxe BE 1.0, it is a file titled PBE.
Right/Click on this application file to open the menu box.
Select/Click - SEND TO -&- DESKTOP (create shortcut.)
This will create a desktop icon/shortcut with the correct pathway to the program in Windows-XP. When you click this shortcut to open PhotoDeluxe, the program should work correctly and the gallery, hold photo and save to J-Peg file commands should function as normal.
HOPE THIS HELPS! I was going crazy trying to get it working. I use it to edit photos for eBay listings and was desperate to solve the problem. It was taking hours to prepare and save my photos with the long delay trying to save an edited photo to a folder for upload!
All three of my PC's have PhotoDeluxe working perfect once again!!!

ITunes music folder organisation

On my old PC, when I added an MP3 etc to iTunes it would automatically remove it from the folder it was in and add it to my (iTunes?) music folder. For some reason on my new laptop it does not do this, I have tried with the 'copy to itunes folder' option both checked and unchecked, and it is set to 'keep music folder organised'
Can anyone shed any light on how to get this useful feature back?

Think I've figured out why, the folder I dropped the files into was within the iTunes managed folder so iTunes emptied it when it was organising the folder................. doh

TS1995 I have a folder on my desktop labeled i photo library, it contains all my albums from i photo . The problem is none of them are j.pegs they are documents. How do i gwt them back to j.pegs?

I have a folder on my desktop, labeled i-photo library, it contains all my albums from i photo that i had inadvertently deleted. The problem is they are not j.pegs but documents. How do I get them back to j.pegs?

YOu need to tell us a lot more
what version of iPHoto? Of the OS? How did you "inadvertently" delete and what exactly did you delete?
What do youy mean by albums? In iPHoto albums do not actaully exist - they are logical organizational elements and are only pointers to photos in the library? what happens when you launch iPhto? Do you have an iPhoto library in yoru pictures folder?
what ohter details na you provide?

Switch to a new PC, but can't keep iPhone app folder organisation when sync with iTunes

I have just switched to a new PC. When I connected my iPhone to it, I have chosen to "Transfer Purchase" in iTunes. Then I go to sync for the apps. I got a msseage warning me that the apps on the iPhone will be replaced by those in the iTunes library. I didn't mind for that since I have already do the "Transfer Purchase" and I won't lose any apps for this step. But I thought it would not keep the folder organisation on my iPhone and I will need to manually group all apps again if I continue the process. I have nearly 300 apps. Are there any ways to keep all the folder organisations for this case of switching PC?

Thanks. But what I really want is to import the folder organisation from iPhone to iTunes. It is tedious to reorganise all my 300 apps again.

How do I manage photos using a folder - subfolder type structure?

How do I manage photos using a folder - subfolder type structure as I have done previously within Windows? For example, my photos were stored with a folder for each year and sub-folders for each month whicheach held the photos. Can I do this in iPhoto?

For example, my photos were stored with a folder for each year and sub-folders for each month whicheach held the photos
Why bother?
Check out the search box at the bottom of the Window. (Click on the Magnifying glass, it opens it) Now click on the mgnifying glass in the search box) and select 'Date'. Now you can find all the photos from any day, month or year. If you want to find the photos from a range - say a paticular week - then you can do that with a Smart Album.
Organising photos by date means you have to remember the date the shot was taken, and after a while, and after a few thousand shots, this gets harder and harder to do, so you spend more and more time rooting through folders.
iPhoto offers a range of organising tools and each offers more possibilites to quickly find the shot you're looking for. For instance:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 45k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.
