Album overview
A photo album in iPhoto is just like one you would create with printed photos: It’s a collection of photos you select from your library and arrange in the order you want.
You can create photo albums to:
Focus on a particular subject, such as your favorite nature photos
Group pictures that you want to send to a friend, post on a webpage, or burn to a CD or DVD
Gather a decade of anniversary photos
iPhoto has two kinds of photo albums:
Standard photo albums: You create these albums (B, shown below) by selecting particular photos. You can add new photos by dragging them to the album (or using the Add To button), and you can remove photos at any time. All adding and removing is done manually; iPhoto doesn’t update standard albums automatically as you import new photos.
Smart Albums: iPhoto creates these albums for you, based on criteria your specify. iPhoto then updates Smart Albums (A, shown above) for you as your library changes. For example, you could create a Smart Album containing:
Photos of specific people, such as your family members. As you import new photos, iPhoto uses Faces to detect your family members, and automatically adds new photos of them to the Smart Album (after you’ve confirmed the matches in Faces).
All the photos of your daughter taken on school field trips in third grade. Use Faces (to name your daughter) and keywords (to mark certain photos or events as “field trips”) to help specify the photos you want iPhoto to place in that Smart Album.
Only photos taken with a specific camera, or photos matching other Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information.
You can make as many albums as you like, and you can include the same photo in several albums without making multiple copies of it.
After you create an album, such as “Australia Adventures,” it appears in your Source list below Albums.
In full-screen view, the album appears as a stack of photos below Albums.
To further organize your library, you can group several albums (along with slideshows and projects) into a folder. For example, you could create a folder containing several years of birthday albums or a collection of albums with photos of your camping trips.
To create a folder, see “Create a folder in the Source list and move items into it” in “Customize the Source list”.
Folders appear only in the Source list, not in full-screen view.
Note: A photo album is different from a photo book, which is a collection of photos you create to get professionally printed and bound. See this topic: Photo book overview.

Can NOT drag and drop to combine Events

I've combined Events zillions of times in iPhoto and drag-'n-drop in Aperture 3 also. Today, when I tried to drag one Event into another, it didn't work. It didn't 'release' into the new event when I let go of the mouse button. I restarted iPhoto - same problem. Rebooted my MBP, same problem.
Tried to drag and drop a new photo into my Photostream (from Aperture this time) and the same problem. I click to drag, move the event, and then it appears 'ghosted' and will not release.
I even went into my Sys Prefs to see if it was my mouse, but that looked OK, and I could not replicate this problems in other applications.
I'd love to know why it does this (did I inadvertently check something somewhere) but more importantly, how do I fix this?
Oh yes - I got an error message the first few time about repairing iPhoto, which I let it do - took about 10 minutes, and I've never seen that before in iPhoto. (Aperture, yes, a LOT...)
Oh yes - I can 'Merge Events' from the Menu - that works, but seems cumbersome and the drag-and-drop has worked fine until today...
I am stumpped...
Thanks!
Greg

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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro.... The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)

I keep on getting this error when i try to copy files to my 2T Time Capsule, Please help im running out of space on my MacBook Pro....

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

I shot a time lapse video by mistake, how can I slow it down to see it

HHow can Islow down a time lapse video to see it. Shot by mistake

A time lapse video records frames at a set interval. There is NO other information recorded between those frames.
You can slow it down and watch each frame for a longer period of time, but you will see no other information than what is originally recorded.

TS4002 Scrolling in iCloud e-mail is just too fast. How can I slow it down?

That small e-mail scrolling bar just moves too far too fast. I want to be able to view my e-mails a few at a time then move on to the next few. As it stands now, it skips way ahead with the slightest touch. There are no arrow heads top and bottom to control the movement. How can I control the scrolling??

Aha! Sussed it!
Click 'Follow Tempo' in the inspector on each track. This activates the Transposition function in the inspector. I've reduced the tempo by 20bpm and set Transposition to -2 on each track.
Hey presto, no longer do me and my mates sound like we had been drinking way too much caffeine two decades ago!

Drag and Drop folders or mail in Mail.app drags wrong mail/folder

Hi,
I noticed mail.app in Maverics 10.9.5 is behaving weird / incorrect / strange with dragging mails.
Eg. If I open up the mailbox window (with the show > button) and try moving a mail inside a folder, I notice it is actually dragging something completely different.
Haven't quite figured out if it's a consistent number of pixels off, but it seems random.
Anybody else noticing this issue?

Hello WillyB_UT,
It may help to rebuild the affected mailboxes by highlighting the desired mailbox, then choosing Rebuild from the Mailbox menu.

Fast audio playback after recording overlay in CS4- How can I slow it down play at regular speed?

I have a video that I am trying to record audio narration over and everytime I record the audio (as I have done many times in the past) it goes on the time as a shorter clip that plays back at a faster speed causing me to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. What am I doing wrong and how do I get it to play and record in real time speed? The video speed is uneffected and plays normally?
Thanks!

Great- I think that would fix the issue but how do I set my recording to
32,000- it's recording at 48,000 now?

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

Select All in a table does not work for Drag and Drop

Hi. I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 but have also reproduced in 11.1.1.3.
I am trying to implement drag and drop rows from one table to another. Everything works fine except when I do a Select All (ctrl-A) in a table, the table visually looks like all rows are selected, but when I try to click on one of the selected rows to drag to the other table, only the row I click on is dragged.
I tried setting Range Size -1, fetch mode to FETCH_ALL, content delivery to "immediate" but nothing works.
I even have reproduced not using a view object but just a List of beans with only 5 or 10 beans showing in the table.
Does anyone know how to get Select All to work for a Drag Source?
Thanks.
-Ed

Frank-
OK, thanks for looking into that. I also submitted this service request, which includes a simple sample app to demonstrate the problem:
SR #3-2387481211: ADF Drag and Drop does not work for rows in table using Select All
Thanks again for the reply.

Combine Files Dialog 8.1.6--drag and drop broken?

I just reinstalled Acrobat 8, and the Combine Files panel is "all whacky".
If I drag one or more documents into the panel, they are added normally. But if I then add another batch of 1 or documents, the FIRST SET OF DOCUMENTS is added again.
To be clear, if I drag documents 1.tif, 2.tif, and 3.tif into the Combine Files panel, I end up with (as expected)
1.tif
2.tif
3.tif
But if I then drag documents 4.tif and 5.tif into the panel (or any other set of documents), I end up with
1.tif
2.tif
3.tif
1.tif
2.tif
3.tif
Adding files through the file chooser panel works fine. Can someone tell me if this is peculiar to my installation or if it is a bug in Acrobat Pro 8.1.6?
Thx

Sort of the same here:
I just noticed that the standard "drag and drop" in combination with "cmd + tab" to switch applications no longer works on my MacBook Pro. Whenever I try to drag pictures (e. g. jpg) from Safari into a Keynote 09 presentation (switching from Safari to Keynote using "cmd + tab"), the dragged image simply hangs and cannot be dropped into Keynote.
And here's the _truly weird_ thing:
When I then use "cmd + tab" again to switch to the next app again, the Keynote window stays on top and I can suddenly move and drop the dragged picture again. How strange is that?

Drag and Drop - Java -- other application

Hi,
I'm writing an application, which requires to transfer the content of textfields through Drag and Drop to any other application.
Basically this works, but in combination with some applications, e.g. Mozilla, it happens, that the DragSourceListener doesn't recognize, that the Drag and Drop - operation is finished.
Because of this I get an InvalidDnDOperationException, when I try to start a new Drag and Drop - operation.
Can anyone tell me, how to solve the problem?
thanks in advance

Drag and drop problem from wizard inside another drop

I am using JDK 1.5.0_11 Swing.
I am facing a Drag and Drop problem which is described below:
A drag and drop operation invokes a wizard, from which another wizard is invoked. Within one of the panels of this 2nd wizard, I am trying to do a drag and drop from a JTextarea to a JTree node, but am NOT able to. I am not getting any exceptions. I have written a transfer handler for the JTree node to handle the text transfers from a JTextArea. When I try to do a drag and drop from a JTree node to another JTree node I'm getting the 'InvalidDNDOperation: drag and drop in progress' exception.
When the 2nd wizard is invoked directly, I am able to do the drag and drop from JTextArea to a JTree node and also from a JTree node to another JTree node.
I tried spawning a new thread for the 2nd wizard, but am still unable to initiate drag and drop.
Should I be spawning a new thread for the 1st wizard?

How to drag and drop an email from Outlook Express (with example code)

Hi,
It is possible to drag a mail from Outlook Express and drop it on the desktop, and the file created is a .eml, which is a text file.
If I drop it into a Java application, no DataFlavor is provided to make the data transfer possible.
As the data to transfer is a text, it should be possible to drop it.
How to make a DataFlavor available and recover the text as a stream of characters?
Example code
The small application below shows the MIME type of the data that is about to be dropped. If you drag an icon from the desktop, a type will be displayed; if you drag an Outlook Express mail, no type will be displayed.
Thanks.

It might just be Microsoft not using standards? I remember having a similar situation - I had an application that could have a zip entry fron 7-zip drag-and-dropped into it (came over as plain text, or maybe an InputStream, can't remember), but when you drill into a zip file with Windows (Vista at least), and try to drag-and-drop a zip entry from Windows Explorer, Java shows no dataflavors available. I just assumed Microsoft wasn't exporting the zip entry in any standard format (such as plain text).
Sorry, I know that wasn't very helpful, just thought I'd share a similar experience. :)

When I try to drag and drop to combine events in iPhoto, the drag accelerates out of control when it reaches the top or bottom of the screen. How can I slow it down?
