Sync photo into Albums

How do I sync with my PC so that the folders become albums - they are all going into My Pictures.

Each folder that you sync to the iPad should get it's own album on the iPad - all of mine have. Are the folders that you're syncing directly off the same parent folder on your computer (with the parent folder being the one that you select at the top of the Photos tab on your computer's iTunes when syncing), or are they lower down the hierarchy ? Only the folders directly off the folder that you chose at the top of the Photos tab in iTunes get their own album in the iPad.

Can I organise photos into albums within iCloud Photo Library?

i Understand that edits / deletes etc in iCloud Photo Libary will be reflected on all my iOS devices but can I organise my photos into albums using iCloud photo library?
basically I want to take photos on my iPhone, review them on my iPad, delete the ones I don't want and keep the good ones in a relevant album (e.g. "Summer holiday 2014"). Then I want to be able to see identical albums on both my iPad and iPhone. From what I've seen so far, when I create an album and save a photo to it then that album is only local to that device?
please help.

Are you saying it showed 800 photos before turning off iCloud photo library or that the 800 photos disappeared after you enabled iCloud photo library for the first time, the distinction is quite important.

Can't move photos into albums

Hi there,
ever since I upgraded to iPhoto '09 I can't seem to move photos into albums that I am editing.
When viewing the photos in "normal" list mode there is no problem to move them into an album. I grab the photo, drag it onto the album and a green plus sign appears indicating that it is possible to add the photo. When I drop it and check, the photo is indeed inside the album as it should.
When I double click the photo to go into edit mode I see the enlarged photo and a strip of photos running along the upper edge. This is just like in iPhoto '08. It used to be that I could grab photos in that strip and drag them to an album. When I do this now the green plus sign does appear just as before, which makes me think that I can indeed add it to the album. However, when I check the album the photo is not there.
Is this a bug? Is it some preference that I can set?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Trouble syncing photos into my ipod touch.

Every time i try to sync photos into my ipod, itunes keeps copying my apps from my device into my library and it takes so long for the process to finish, is there a way to prevent this from happening or at least disabling itunes from copying my app. Its really annoying.

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

After sorting photos into albums, the albums disappeared on me. I dragged and dropped the photos and went back to check that they were in place before exiting the program. When I went back, the folder was there but no albums. Help!

Working on an IMac - with IPhoto v.9.6
This is my first experience with IPhoto... trying to move files from a PC over to a Mac.
I don't have a ton of photos but I created about 6 albums - standard albums - and dragged and dropped individual photos into each of the albums. I named each of the albums as well so I would know what was in each. After i was finished, I created a folder called 2014 and moved each of the albums into that folder. Before moving ANY of the albums, I opened each of them up to make sure that all the photos I wanted in each were indeed there - and since there were some errors on my part, I deleted any duplicates first. SO, I KNOW the photos were actually in each of the albums BEFORE i moved them into the 2014 folder.
My intention was to then delete the photo files in my document file but once I got there I thought I would go back and double check the IPhoto file just to make sure... and the pictures were NOT in the albums where I had placed them... is there a need to save this before you move on and if so, to where and how? I was under the impression that once files were moved to albums, they remain there.
The photos are still in the photo library but unsorted now again... I cannot even open the 2014 folder at this point.
Thanks for any help!!

Was back on IPhoto this morning. The folder did not open at all so I deleted it. Beside Albums, nothing showed at all. It was like I had done no work at all except to import my photo folder. Nothing was in my trash bin either.
I started again and created one album at a time. I dragged and dropped photos into the album and exited out of IPhoto, opened up other programs and then returned to IPhoto to see if the album was still there and it was this time. I created a second album and did the same thing. This time, for some reason, the albums seem to be staying in place. I am not doing anything differently than last time. After creating three albums, I created a folder called 2014 and dragged and dropped the three albums into the folder and exited IPhoto. They were still there when I returned - YEAH! It seems to be working - for now! I am keeping my fingers crossed that my photos are not going to disappear but I am not going to delete my photo folder from my files just in case!
Thanks for the suggestions but this may just have been a funny glitch... not sure what happened. I didn't change anything or do anything differently this time except that I am doing it one album at a time and exiting the program between creating each of them and coming back to check... very strange.

I can't modify synced photos or album on my iPod touch 5

I can't delete synced photos or synced albums from my iPod. I can't add mobile photos to my synced photos or synced album on my iPod either. I synced photos from my computer to my iPod. I threw away my old computer when I bought a Macbook Pro. I want to delete my previously synced photos from my old computer. How can I unsynced the photos now? Can I ask Apple to allow synced photos to be deleted from the iPod? Can I also ask Apple to allow me to add more photos on my iPod to the album of synced photos?

Apple has not said why they do not allow deleting synced photos/albums directly from the iPod. You either have to unsync them or use a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.
You can do this and just not copy the synced photos to the computer via a third-party program

I put all my photos into album .Then proceeded to erace photos from last 18 months.. Went back to albums, and no pictures in most of the albums.. What happened? Don't know what to do. How can I get pictures back in my albums?

I put all my photos int albums. Then went back to same photos in last 18 months and deleted them. When I went back to albums, most of the pictures were gone. What happened? All of my pictures gone? I need help...

Hi saginrsf,
Deleted them from where? The photos in your albums are not the actual photos in your library. So if you deleted the photos from the Photos section of iPhoto, then you have deleted them period. All of the photos in your Albums are just "pointing" to the original photos. Albums are just a way of organizing your photos, but they are not copies of them.
Did you delete them from the Photos in iPhoto?

Organizing Photos Into Albums

I just got an iPhone 4 and its the first iPhone I've owned. I'm wondering if it's possible to organize my photos and downloaded images into different albums. I'm an organizer and it's driving me crazy that everything is lumped together. It may be a really simple process but it I just can't figure it out.

First, you can only have one master sync album on PC's/itunes, so below is how to work around that problem:
For windows pc's Photo albums:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named.
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
Hope this helps...

How can I sort photos into albums on my iPad and then export them to my iMac?

I want to import photos from my camera card into my iPad, sort them into various albums then export the albums to my iMac. I have 12 albums in Photos with around 300 photos on my iPad, but when I connect it to my iMac iPhoto tries to import all of the 1800 photos without the album structure. How do I transfer the albums and the 300 photos in them to my iMac?

Yes, but the recipient may not be getting the full image file that was used to make the Shared Photo Stream. You would have to run a test to see if there's any reduction in the image and file size. The following is from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are the photos in shared photo streams?
Shared Photo Streams deliver photos in a device-optimized resolution that speeds upload and downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.

Trouble importing/syncing photos into iTunes

I have a brand new video ipod and when I went to import/sync the photos on my hard drive to it I accidentally (but successfully) imported the entire iPhoto library (3000 photos - more than I need on the pod).
So, to correct the mistake I went back today to try and sync ONLY the folder/library subset (as opposed to all of the photos) I wanted from iPhoto, but now it won't let me do anything - all options are greyed out....and no photos are on my iPod. I am pretty savvy but i can't figure out what happened. I get an error message saying that my iPod can't by synced due to an unknown error..(everything else is sync-ing)
Also - where on my hard drive should all iPhoto images be kept so that nothing goes wrong...I keep some photos in a differently named folder on my hard drive - maybe that is part of the problem...? How would I start over to make it work properly (having learned my lesson ?
thanks - tracy

Tracy,
All of your iPhoto photos should be located in your
~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals
The above is only true if you have the iPhoto Preferences set to copy files to iPhoto Library under the advanced tab. When this is checked, all of your photos, no matter where they are, will be "copied" into the iPhoto Library folder. This will give you duplicates if you already have your own library somewhere else, but this will also give you a backup....
I don't think any of us want to loose any of our photos from any of our trips or whatever... I suggest backing your photos up on a DVD or external hard drive for safe keeping.
To start over, remove the files from your iPhoto Library. Don't throw the "Originals" folder away just in case you don't have copies until you are all done and make sure you have all your photos.

TS1314 How do I get photos into albums on my new IPad mini?

The 364 photos successfully synced from my PC to the mini but they are not in albums. They ARE in albums in iTunes on my PC.
The users manual tells me to "tap albums" but I can't find "albums" anywhere.
tia for your help.

In the Photos app on the iPad there should be an Albums tab at the top middle of the screen (unless you are already in an album in which case there should be an Albums button top left to go back up a level).
And by albums in iTunes do you mean that you get the different photo folders on your PC shown there ? The folder to album relationship only works to one level, and photos that are in sub-folders will be included in the parent folder's album on the iPad.
If the photos haven't copied over correctly then you can delete the photo cache from your computer (it's location is mentioned on the page that you posted from) and you can then re-try the photo sync.

Dragging multiple photos into albums

iPhoto 5 seems to have stopped allowing me to select multiple photos and drag them into appropriate albums. I've tried deleting the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from the preferences, but it hasn't worked for me. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

ryan,

Syncing photos into my IPAD 2 is eating up my macbook memory space, it didn't with my IPAD1, is there a way to fix this?

I have a IPAD generation 1 and i just got my iPAD 2 last week, both ipad are 64 gb. I have a picture collection folder on my macbook pro desktop that is around 45 gb that i need for my work.The problem was that when i tried to sync this folder into my ipad 2, it started eating up a considerable amount of my computer memory space leaving me with around 13 gb left and mysteriously adding more gb to the foldering (it is around 90gb now). I've had my Ipad 1 for a while and it has never been a problem when i sync the same folder, i was also able to store a lot more document folders on my desktop before my ipad 2 came along. im wondering if the IPAD 2 somehow creates backup files of things it syncs within my computer and how i can get back my computer memory space?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restor from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod.
You can also look at the previous discussion on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with yuor same poblem.
