Scrolling a large photo collection is very frustrating

My 32 GB iPod Touch can easily hold all my photos so I decided to put them all on.
I have 6500 photos total installed on my Touch.
When I go to the Photo application, they are not organized by the familiar iPhoto Events, which is disappointing.
Regardless, there seems to be something lacking here as I must do a tremendous amount of scrolling to find my latest photos. Example...
Even in the "Last 12 Months" category, there are 2500 photos and I have to swipe the screen about 20 times to get to the latest images. If there is something I need to see from 2 years ago, I have to click on "Photo Library" category and flick the screen 40 or 50 times to get into the proper range of photos!
The only relief is the "Last Import" category but not all the newest photos are in the last import.
And I guess it wouldn't be so bad if it just "remembered" the last scroll position or photo each time I went into the app. But it doesn't.
Or if it functioned a bit more like iPhoto and included the "Events", that too wouldn't be quite as painful as this.
Question: Am I not doing this right!? Is there a command or swipe that can get me to the bottom of the photo collection at once? On the computer, all I'd have to do it move the scroll bar with the mouse to the bottom in one motion. Is there something similar on the Touch to scroll down more quickly?

Sparky--
Don't really know if there is a fix for that. With 6500 pictures, even broken down by events, that's a lot of pictures to have to go through. It might be easier to make new event folders by year,then move the pictures into the folders. Or by location, or if they are cat pictures as opposed to baby pictures, etc.

I double-click on event to see all the photos in that event displayed, but all I get is 1 large photo on the edit page. To see the photos in that event, I have to scroll. Need to be able to work with all the photos in that event, not one at a time.

Maybe you need to adjust the zoom slider in the lower left corner of the window?

Thx Leonie,
Surprisingly, I just went to the crash reporter and there were no reports re: the iPhoto issue. This is the only report I found, which I not sure is related to the iPhoto issue:

As for the TimeCapsule indeed, I use it as an extended drive but I'm surprised it would be considered a FAT-32 formatted drive as this is an Apple device.
I asked the apple reps if I could use the TimeCapsule for such purpose and no one raised a concern. It's also surprising that I didn't have an issue with this prior to the upgrade to OS X Yosemite.
Having said the above, thank you for your help - if the TimeCapsule is indeed the issue, perhaps I can solve the issue by transferring the iphoto library to an OS extended hard drive.

Mail.app unexpectedly quits b/c I tried to email VERY large photo files

Help! I (stupidly) tried to email several large photo files from iPhoto via mail.app. All five of these emails are still sitting in drafts folder.
Now I can't even open mail.app. It immediately quits.
I deleted the drafts in Finder (or at least I think I did) and emptied trash. Still doing same thing.
Here is what Console says at the time I first started having this problem:
6/8/12 5:51:44 PM com.apple.launchd[87] ([0x0-0x14014].com.apple.mail[130]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
6/8/12 5:52:30 PM com.apple.launchd[87] ([0x0-0x1b51b5].com.apple.mail[6622]) Exited abnormally: Bus error

6/8/12 5:57:36 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (0x10a420.mdworker[6504]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
A little farther down the log it says this:

You might try deleting the file located at:
/Users/cynthiabartz/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Deleted%20Messages.mbox/Messages/29051.emlx
If the quicklook daemon is crashing on it, Mail might be too.

Problem publishing large photo albums

I'm using iWeb (iLife'08) to create several a photo gallery: there is a page with the gallery showing all the albums, and each album has 100 to 200 pictures. The albums were created in iPhoto and "inserted" into iWeb using iWeb's media tools.
Publishing to .Mac has been very frustrating: 1st time I created the entire site, with 10 albums (2000+ pictures all together) and a couple of regular text pages. When I tried to publish iWeb took forever, went into working in the background and eventually came back with an error about not being able to connect to .Mac and to check my internet connection. Needless to say I checked it and it was all good: able to login, plenty of iDisk space available, etc.
2nd time I decided to start with just one album in the gallery. This time it worked. I started adding (to iWeb) one album at a time and then publishing "changes". It takes some time but it works. However, if I change anything in one album (already published) and add a new album iWeb will again take forever just to come back with an error about the connection to .Mac.
is there a practical limit to the size of albums in iWeb? Should I use iPhoto directly to create a photo gallery in .Mac and use iWeb to link to it? What is the best way to use these tools to create a large photo gallery?

Keep it down to about 24 photos per album and 6 albums per page. You can always add more album pages and have an index page to get to them.

Sync Bridge photo collections to iPod?

I have hunted across the web and haven't even found a page that discusses the question, let alone answers it:
Is it possible to sync Adobe Bridge photo collections to an iPod?
I suspect the answer is no (or at least, not directly).
Ideally, what I would like to do is "sync selected collections" to my iPod, including both ordinary collections and smart collections.
Since I suspect there is no way set up within iTunes or iOS to sync from Bridge's collections, I am looking for workarounds that will allow me to do this.
I've poked around and found that the collections are really just XML documents containing a list of file names (including the full path for each file), and the smart collections are XML lists of criteria.
I have monkeyed around with aliases and symbolic links coupled with iTunes' "sync photos from folder..." dialogue, and it appears that aliases (aka shortcuts) will not work, and neither will symbolic links, but hard links will.
What's needed, then (and I believe this is the only way to accomplish my objective without doubling the hard disk space taken up) is a script/droplet/workflow/whatever that will take the collections from Bridge and create hardlinks for all photos from all collections, in a new directory (with the descriptive title "iPod syncing photos folder with hardlinks of collections' photos"—or maybe something shorter, heh heh.)
I would then have one main directory ("iPod photos") containing subdirectories with names corresponding to my Bridge collections, each subdirectory containing hard links to every photo in its namesake Bridge collection. Of course the script would have to be rerun before any iPod sync, since any changes to the contents of the collections (or the smart collections) would otherwise not be reflected in the iPod Photos directory. But it could conceivably work very nicely.
Can anyone scripting savvy point me in the direction of how I might accomplish this?

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a try and there are some major problems with it for my intended workflow: (listed in order of severity)
So many users so many workflows, I was just thinking out loud
1. It opens each photo individually in Photoshop. Yes, it only opens them for a second—but try running this on 4000 photos. (I don't have 4000; I have about 12000. I want roughly a third of them on my iPod.)
Actions are very useful but sometimes take its time. Personally I always use custom created actions in PS instead of the image processor or if you still have Bridge CS6 the Export panel (which does not start PS but let Bridge handle this job). However 10 or 1000 or even 12 K of images, let it run once overnight and you will be done without needing to look at it
2. This would have to be run manually, individually for each Bridge collection.
There you have a point I have no solution for. In a normal folder structure with the originals you could select the main folder, use menu view and select view items from subfolders and you could use one action to run on the whole content. But collections don't work that way and need to be selected one by one.
3. This would have to be run manually by collection each time I want to sync my iPod, in order to include any newly tagged or collected photos.
Yes, but that would be a minor effort because when adding new files to a collection you have those files already selected and can run any action on them.
4. When emailing or sharing photos from the iPod, full resolution images would no longer be available.
I'm not sure I follow this but I don't know what a full resolution file on your system would mean. I have used a lot of different dSLR since 2001 and currently use an 18 MP dSLR and there is no way I can email those HR files. For me the usual limit per email attachment is 10 MB and my HR files saved in Jpeg Max are around 15 to 20 MB each. My HR archive form the past 10 years contains 65 K of images and needs 500 GB of storage…
5. I have over 17 GB of photos. With the large number that are in collections, even medium res copies will take up a large amount of space. (Hard links will take almost none.)
First of all, using an action in PS you can also create Safe for Web files that with some study can create fabulous quality just for screen while taking less then 80 KB of file size. Also other options like resizing to 10 x 15 cm 300 ppi jpeg 8 creates relatively small files that depending on content rarely will be above 1 MB each.
Also I don't rely on collections for archiving purposes because over the years they have proofed to be very unreliable. A collection has its use for me but only on the short term usage and as feed for Mini Bridge in PS.
I use a real Digital Asset Management application for my archive (in my case Canto Cumulus single user, not very cheap but very good).
And I'm not sure how a hard link on your iPod would manage you to distribute HR files using your iPod while the files are on your computer but I also have to admit that I still have a lot to learn in the digital world
I think the key lies in Bridge scripting, at least for the "get collections items" part. If I can pipe that into a standard AppleScript, Automator Workflow, bash script or whatever, I believe I can manage the rest (creating links, etc. Any tips on Bridge scripting usage for exporting collection items?
There is a dedicated bridge Scripting Forum with very knowledgable and helpful people, try this:

How Can I Make A Large Photo with Product Detail for My Thumbnails in Dreamweaver

Hello All:
New to Dreamweaver, so my code knowledge does not exist yet. Have Mercy!!!!
Anyway , I am making a typical product page.
I prefer that when people click the thumbnail product photo to not have to click into another brower.
Nowadays you are able to click in what is commonly called a "Quick View" that pops up and gives you a full sized
image along with product detail, and pricing. That's all I want.
How can I link this [the larger photo and product detai] to my thumbnails in Dreamweaver????
I want the look that is on every website like Target, Macy, etc.
Someone, please help me to !!!!!!!
These lil' faces are really cute. They are helping me to smile after hours and days, weeks of frustration. TWIN MADDOG!!!

Hi,
don't understand your problem, ore hope to understand it right. You could put the images on a DW file and link to another file with the larger image and where you have written all your informations.
I made this here only for a new, larger image (without additional informations):

Maverick has messed up my computer. Slow scrolling in I photo. Bookmark icons are blue all the time and not marked with the company symbols. I cannot find out how to solve this.

I switched to Mavericks two weeks ago and have had nothing but troubles. Scrolling in I photo is slow and very inaccurate. When I click and drag a photo the ones above it all flicker, making it hard to find where to put it. My bookmarks bar Icons are all blue. Before they used to show the symbol for the company they represented. Now I click on one, it changes to what I want, then a few minutes of hour later, it goes back to the blue ball, which I hate. My font size is different with every page and I have to click Zoom in all the time. I tried adjusting it in Preferences in Advance settings on the right, but this does not solve the problem permanetly. I have one web page, a hockey one, which tries to load, then I get either a black page or a white one. Driving me nuts. I need some help. Been to Apple at the store, talked to them on the phone for four hours last week. Rebuilt the I photo library with no luck. Would appreciate any help. Please Thanks. I even keep a fan behind my computer to keep it cool, that is how much I look after this baby. Some say it might be Safari? Not sure. I have little computer experience, so please it you are kind enough to reply, do not use tech talk or short forms as I will not understand any of it.

Rick,
I have a few of your issues as well: 1) Safari popular icons are all bue making them very hard to distinguish from each other. 2) My font size is also different with each page / window. What I have been able to find out is that in the Maverick OS - Apple removed one size of display resolution 2048 x 1152. Whether this is the cause of my 27" screen clarity & font size issues, I do not know - but it seems like a contributing factor. Maybe help is on the way - maybe not. Cheers

I would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically

I have a photo album that goes through a sequence of same
sized photos. However when I want to change the photos I always
have to go into flash and change stuff which is time consuming. I
would like to be able to update my photo collection dynamically by
just changing the files in the folder in my computer called images.
The .swf file would respond to this by showing the new sequence of
files in this folder. This would save me much time.
thnks very much for any advice.

you can use an XML file to grab the images, and flash can
parse them out and display them, then when you want to make a
change, you could either rename the photo the same as the old one,
or update the XML file.

I found my old iPod shuffle and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!

I found my old iPod shuffle (3rd gen) and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, iTunes wouldn't recognise it at first so following forums on here I managed to find some apple software to reset and update the shuffle! This worked and the iPod shuffle was then recognised by iTunes but now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!
Please can some one help! I've been searching on here for a few days now and have tried numerous suggestions from other people's questions but nothing has worked yet!

You can try this:
I am assuming you are running Windows:
Plug in your iPad to the PC.
Now go to "Start"   - "devices and printers"
Is your iPad showing there ?   (you may have to scroll down)
If you can see it - right click the iPad icon and select "Troubleshoot"
If the USB driver is missing/incorrect it will tell you.

Usbs not working very frustrating please help

My usbs have all stopped working for no reason just after i did my last windows update even with a roll back it still says this error in the picture very frustrating i updated bios on my motherboard and downloaded usb drives but still did not fix the issue
please help it says unknown usb device(device descriptor failed)whn i plug hard drives in the usb has power but it wont show up on my pc also happens with my keyboard and mouse even after driver re installs please help.

Hi,
For this issue,please let us know the error code.
Meanwhile, I suggest we disable and re-enable the USB controller to check the result.
This lets the controllers recover the USB port from its unresponsive condition.
To disable and re-enable the USB controllers, follow these steps:
1.Press Win+X，and select Device Manager.
2.Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Note You might have to scroll down the list to find this item.
3.Right-click the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click Uninstall to remove it.
4.Repeat step 3 for each USB controller that is listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5.Restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.
6.Check the USB device to see whether it is working.
