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 in iMovie and drop clips into it, it plays the first one and then quits right near the end of the second clip.  I have re-started my computer, tried a new project etc, and no luck, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
    (PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)

  • TS2972 When playing a photo album from iPhoto on Appletv it will not play the videos

    When playing a photo album from Macbook Pro on Apple tv the videos in the album won't play.  Is this fixed in settings?

    I don't believe that is possible. It may be best to have those videos stored in iTunes if you wish to home-share/airplay them.

  • My email got blocked and can't sign in using old apple id so i created a new one i just need to transfer all my data to the new id

    heres the download. I downloaded the new os 5.0 and had to verify my icloud account it, when i tried to check my email it said that my password was wrong and I couldn't access my account so I went through the whole process on reseting my password and no can do for now so I thought well if I can't use that account anymore then I will just switch my apple id to another email address that I had and use that so  I got that set up and now all I need to do is somehow transfer my purchases to my new account well I thought I could do that through my iphone and stupid me reset the whole thing where I can't even access anything or even make or recieve phone calls so someone please help me I am hopelessly lost without my iphone and I am desperate for answers

    Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

  • 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.

    is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album.  for example:  There is a album called Fred.  I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder.  I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
    Any ideas please.  I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
    Many thanks Jaz Eilles

    Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it.  Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos.  So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
    So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

  • 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.

  • HT204022 I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone.  When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option.  Please help.

    I backed my old iphone up to my computer and bought a new iphone.  When i backed my new phone up I now I have an icloud photo (from my computer) album that I want to delete from my phone but I do not have the option.  Please help.

    If the album was synced to your phone from your computer, it can only be removed by sycing it off.  To do this, deselect the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync.

  • When working in my photo album in iphoto my photos are replaced with a grey box and an !. I can't see the image on the page.

    Lately when I am working in my photo album in iPhoto my images are replaced with a grey box and an ! . I can't see the images on the page. All my photos are high quality.  What am I doing wrong?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • 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.

  • When I create a new document the icon doesn't show up in the finder

    When I create a new document and close it the icon is not visible in the finder until I do a search. Then it shows up. I can't move it to other locations.

    So where have you saved it to?
    When you search for a file that is a search result not actually a folder.
    The real location of the file should be shown in a chain of nested folders along the bottom of that window and you can open the folder that the file is in by double clicking on the enclosing folder's icon.
    You need to pay attention to where you are saving files or you will have trouble opening the correct one later.
    If you are new to the Mac go to http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
    If you have come from Windows the method of saving, finding and organising files is not too dissimilar.
