Something I don´t understand when I create a new album

I know two ways of creating a new album:
1.- I click on the tool I have on the Aperture window (The icon of albums)
2.- I click on File-New-Album (AltL)
Well, I always create a new album in a Project. The problem is if I do it using the tool of the Aperture window the album is created not empty, but with all the files of that project. But if I do it clicking on the menu, the album is created as I want, that is to say, empty, then I select the images (from the project) that I want to put in that album and drag them in it.
My question is: Why can´t I create an empty album using the tool "New album" that is on the Aperture Window? Or what am I doing wrong?

The 'create album' button is identical to File>New From Selection>Album (Command-L).
Oddly enough, this gives different behaviour from File>New>Album...
In other words it makes a new Album with the entire Project's-worth of images in it only if you had nothing selected. It's an assumption on the part of the developers - you've asked for a new Album containing the selection, but nothing's selected - do you throw up an error message (like the one when only one Version is selected), or assume that the user wanted everything.
Personally I think Aperture should throw up a dialog box to keep things consistent, but I can see the reasoning behind it. And as long as we've got menu items and keyboard shortcuts for both, I don't really care.

  • Recently, when I create a new album (untitled), it immediately fills with picture either from the album above it or, if I have a Faces collection open, with the pictures from that collection. Why and how do I fix it?

    When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window,  If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library.  Yes, strange behavior.

  • When I create a new album, why does iPhoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums?

    When creating a new album, why does iphoto 11 separate pictures into untitled albums?  I want all designated photos in the album i created..

    I'm guessing you're missing the album in the left hand pane by just a bit and thus creating new albums for each of the photo you're dragging.  Make sure the album is highlighted as in this screenshot (iPhoto 9.4.2) before releasing:
    A sure file way to get an album with the photos is to select the photos again and use the File ➙ New Album menu option
    and that will produce a new album with the photos that were selected.

  • When I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

    when I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

    I got the problem solved. It was pretty simple but new to me. I had evidently inadvertently switched the setting in the "View" tab on the dropdown menu so that all of my desktop folders were populated by all folders/documents residing on the desktop.
    The solution was to open one of the folders, then go to the "View" tab and change the setting to "List." Presto, now all the folders include only the contents I had intentionally loaded into them.

  • I don't understand why recently with the new "pages" my computer stops responding. When I go to fix some grammar all of a sudden the little colored circle begins to appear and won't go away I restart my computer.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    Anyone?

  • When I create a new photo album in Iphoto it adds all my photos in the library

    I love my macbook pro but still not fully understanding Iphoto.  When I create a new photo album and drag photos over from a disk it seems to add all photos from my library. When I remove them it removes them from all the albums.  HELP!

    Add the photos from your disc to iPhoto, then drag them from the iPhoto Event or photos to the Album.
    You can delete photos from the Album without removing them from the computer.  If you delete them in the Photos or Events area, they are removed from iPhoto, therefore taking them out of the Album.
    The photos have to be in iPhoto to exist in an Album.  They cannot exist in an Album and not be in iPhoto..
    Hope that helps...

  • When i create a new project, my application cannot find textLayout_1.0.595, is this a bug??

    hey guys, so this is the second time this has happened, im not sure what i did the first time to fix the error but when i create a new project and create a textinput box in there, i get the following error,
    "SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file:///Users/tkanagala/web projects/flex 4/podcast/bin-debug/podcast.swf cannot access local resource file:///Users/tkanagala/web%20projects/flex%204/podcast/bin-debug/textLayout_1.0.0.595.sw f. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources."
    any ideas why??

    I get the same error.  This isn't something you should have to update a policy file for - it seems like a flash builder error in the way it generates the library swf.  The steps I took were:
    - create a new application
    - type some basic demo app code or paste in code.  In my situation I pasted in some charting examples from the docs (appended to the end)
    - click "run"
    - the error appears:
    SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file://localhost/Users/rj.owen/Documents/ProjectFiles/TIAA-CREF/code/tiaa-eii/production/ ChartingTests/bin-debug/ChartingTests.swf cannot access local resource file://localhost/Users/rj.owen/Documents/ProjectFiles/TIAA-CREF/code/tiaa-eii/production/ ChartingTests/bin-debug/textLayout_1.0.0.595.swf. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
    at flash.net::URLStream/load()
    I'll go post on JIRA as well.

  • Can I specify a Web Page to open (i.e., a Home Page) when I create a new Tab?

    When I create a new Tab, I get a blank page. I'd like the Tab to start-out with a Home Page that I specify - similar to the option that Firefox provides for each instance of Firefox that you start.

    Thanks,
    Those "add-ons" or "extensions" are not working for me.
    Using Windows 7.
    This has been going on for a while with me. 3 months ago I uninstalled FF then re-installed but it has same problems.
    Found about:config but wasn't sure if there is a solution on that screen.
    Uninstall again? Last time I uninstalled FF, I saved the bookmarks. But the re-install already had them in when I first opened. So I don't think i did that one correctly.

  • Why does PSE 11 organizer crash when I try to create a new album?

    I recently purchased PSE 11 to replace PSE 10. When I entered the Organizer, everything worked well until I tried to create a new category under a category that had already been created. After several attempts (and crashes) I rebooted the computer and succeeded in creating the new category. When I then attempted repeatedly to create a new album within the new category, the Organizer again crashed several times. I suspect that rebooting the computer will fix the immediate problem, but this should not occur in the first place and is unacceptable as an ongoing problem.

    There is apparently something wrong with the Elements Auto Analyzer. When I ended the auto-analyzer process in Windows Task Manager, I was able to add albums to an existing category without crashing the Organizer. I was also able to add albums in Safe Mode, so there may be a driver conflict or other conflict with one of my other programs.

  • When I create a new instrument it defaults to the EVP88 Electric Piano

    Why is it everytime I start a new project and create a software instrument, or I add a new instrument to an existing song, it defauls to the EVP88 Electic Piano?  It started doing this after I plugged in a USB controller keyboard so I would have to try and play keyboard parts on my iMacs keyboard.   I called Applecare but my support for Logic has run out (I didn't use my Logic for a long time after installing it, logn story)  so they wanted me to purchase a really expensive support package but I'm not a professinal just a regualr guy.  The tech told me that it always defaults to EVP88 when yu create a new trick, bu I don't remember it doin that when I first statred. Please someone help me with this!!!

  • When I create a new event in my calendar in my local time zone, my invitees receive it in GMT. Why how can this be fixed?

    When I create a new event in my calendar in my local time zone, my invitees receive it in GMT. Why how can this be fixed?

    Greetings jsubacus,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your calendar events are appearing in GMT on your calendar in Yosemite. This was a fix in iOS 8.2 for iCloud calendars. I would suggest that you make sure all of your devices are updated to the current software release to help resolve the issue.
