Starting a new album in iPhoto.
On my MacBook I can create a new iPhoto album using file/new or the icons bottom right of the iPhoto screen.
But the problem is that the created new album copies all photos from the album above in the list.
There is no instruction on how to create a blank new iPhoto album.
Also, there is a choice of new album called 'Smart Album' but no explanation of how this Album is different.
Hi, welcome to the forums.
In iPhoto there are as you say albums and smart albums.
Albums are used to manually sort photos into say a particular order or based around say a holiday or a set of photos you may want to burn to disc, etc. They are manually controlled by 'copying' or dragging specific photos or events into the album.
When you create one, you get the option to make a blank one or make one based on which photos or events you already have selected by ticking the 'use selected items in new album'.
Smart albums are automatically sorted albums based on rules that you set, such as date photos were taken, ratings you may have set to particular photos, filenames, even down to cameras and shutter speeds. You do not actually manually select photos to put in the smart album, rather the album is populated by photos that match your set criteria in your library.
Hope this helps.

I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

Don't do that.
Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external. -
What happens if I make a picture album on my ipad or iPhone and then sync with my Mac? Will it add a new album to iPhoto on my Mac? Also, what will happen if I add pictures on my ipad to existing albums that I made in iPhoto on my Mac?

So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks. I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler -
each time I create a new album in IPhoto, photos from another album or from photo stream are automatically dumped into the new album.. how do I create a blank album and then import photos from a flash drive into the new album?
just import the iPhoto
Surely you meant "just import the photo"? The Spell checker is dangerously creative ! -
Problems with new albums in iPhoto 5
When I create a new album in iPhoto 5, it does not appear in the Finder view of my Albums folder, and the "Change Picture… " option is greyed out in the Desktop Prefs. pane. The only way to enable the "Change Picture… " option is to set the new album as an "iPhoto. selection" in the iPhoto window, using the "Desktop" button.
On the other hand, my older albums (imported from iPhoto 4) do appear in the Finder view of my Albums folder, and the "Change Picture… " option is available but may be ignored by the computer.
There is some inherent problem here with the sidebar in the Desktop Prefs. pane as well as some incompatibility between iPhoto 5 and iPhoto 4. It's also noteworthy that MacHelp does not even mention the sidebar method for cycling the Desktop Picture - it only covers the "iPhoto. selection" method.
comments anyone.data.getBytes() isn't a reliable way of obtaining bytes from a String. Don't pass the data through a String, preserve it as bytes all the way through. Or use a fixed encoding when you do the translation, i.e. the same one that was used in JDK 1.4.2 whatever that was (by default). The default has changed between JDKs before now.

New album in iPhoto is not a clean slate...
When i create a new album in iPhoto it´s filled with old pictures automatically. How do I get this to not happen? How do I create new albums with no content?
Also, when i remove files in these albums, the orginial photo also seems to disappear. I want it to be like a playlist in iTunes, where nothing happens to the original when you remove the playlist or stuff in it.LexSchellings wrote:
Shift-CMD-N is the same as just choosing "new album" from the menu, and indeed normally there is no photo in it unless you selected some.
Actually no - check the link I supplied
Create new (empty) album
Shift-Command-N
Create new album from selection
Command-N
Create new Smart Album
Option-Command-N
Command N creates a new album from the current selection (like the File menu ==> new album does) - Shift-command-N creates a new empty album - Option-Command-N creates a new smart album

Opening new Album in iPhoto 11
I have tried multiple options to open a new Album, but each time I open and name, it contains the entire iPhoto library. I have more than 30 Albums and never had any issue with the old system.
1 -- select the photo(s) you want in the album and create the album
of
2 - depress the shift and command keys and type "n" to create a new blank album

I have a iMac running OSX 10.10.1, iTunes 12, iPhoto 9.6. I have created an album on the Mac with approx 200 photos and want to get these onto the iPad. If I plug in the iPad and go to iTunes, select the photos tab on the iPad and check sync selected albums, Events... etc the new album doesn't appear on the list. I don't want all 3000+ photos synced to the iPad.
Is there a way to get this album over without using iCloud sharing?
Also, when sharing photos via iCloud the photo info (name, location, comments, etc do not appear on the shared photo, is this correct and is there a way to include the name etc?
tia
DaveYes, I can see the album in both iMovie & Pages but it's iPhoto that I can't see it it and that's where it syncs with the iPad (I think). I have tried restarting both iPhot and iTunes as well as rebooting the system
Thanks for the reply. -

IPhoto hangs when creating a new album
Hi all,
I am having trouble creating new albums in iPhoto '09. I select File -> New Album, enter an album name, and click [Create]. iPhoto then quickly locks up with the spinning beach ball of death. I have to Force Quit iPhoto. If I then reopen iPhoto and try to create a new album, it hangs again. The only way to create a new album, is to reboot my Mac Pro. After that I can create new albums. However, after my Mac Pro goes to sleeps and wakes up, I can no longer create new albums until I reboot again. Everything else in iPhoto seems to work fine.
The iPhoto library was initially created in iPhoto '08 running Leopard. Now I am using iPhoto '09 under Snow Leopard. I've tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist preference file. I have used Command+Option when starting iPhoto to rebuild the database. Nothing seems to work. I have my iPhoto library in its default location.
Any ideas or suggestions? This is very frustrating.
Thanks!
Steven

Message was edited by: Steven WhatleyHi all,
I fixed the issue of iPhoto freezing (beach ball of death) issue as well as many other issues. I reinstalled Snow Leopard and reapplied the updates.
Got say that reinstalling Snow Leopard is way easier than reinstalling Windows Vista. I have initial release of both. Apple packs most of its SL updates into one big bundle. While with Vista, Windows Update kept hitting me with 1 to 3 updates a time and then forces a reboot. After a dozen reboots, then it wanted to install Vista SP1. Then more updates and reboots before I got to Vista SP2. And then there were still more updates. BTW, Vista is running in a VMWare Fusion VM.
Thanks,

I have tried to create new albums with iphoto 08 from the shortcut at the bottom and from the file menu and neither will work???
Darin:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again. You'll have to reset the user selected preferences in iPhoto.
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. -
How do I create a new album in my photos on my iPad 2?
I want to organize the photos on my iPad into different albums. How do I do that without a computer?
If you have IOS5, you can create different albums on your iPad:
1) Open Photos and Select Albums
2) Press the Edit button in the upper right.
3) In the upper left is an option to create a new album.
Having said that, I prefer to create a new album in iPhoto or Aperture and sync those changes to the iPad.
I would respectfuly disagree with Pavlen's final conclusion. An iPad is fabulous (from a slightly biased consumer). :-) -
How do I name a photo album in Iphoto?
Hello! I am a brand new user and need a little help. I have an iphone an ipad mini and a mac pro book. Lots of toys but limited knowledge. I am trying to work in Iphoto. Experimenting is fun and I have been able to play and do somethings including making a nice vintage album, but can't seem to name it. How do I name it? What are the rules? Thank you! Diane150
If the album is in the left hand column of iphoto (not full screen) on your mac you can highlight it and return will make it editable.
or you can create a new album via iphoto dropdown menu>File>New album
