Why are my albums empty

Lately when I put pictures in albums they don't stick.  When I sign in to iPhoto again the albums are empty.  Can anyone tell me why that is happening?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    Also, in some cases the artist will not allow download sales, or insists on a download store selling complete albums only rather than offering individual tracks, something Apple resists. In any case, it's not by Apple's choice; it's by decision of the content owners.

    Perhaps the copyright holders chose to remove them. What album were you after?

  • Why are my album covers from purchased songs on itunes dissapeared

    why are the album covers gone from the songs i purchased from itunes. i have part of them,the rest are gone

    I have a slightly different problem. I have a few artists "Greatest Hits" albums, My iPohone's "iPod" doesn't know the difference between each album. For example:
    Queen's Greatest Hits, Guns 'N' Roses Greatest Hits and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits are all jumbled together into 1 "album" this is fine sometimes gives a bit of variety, but some days i just want to listen to GNR or Queen or Alice Cooper.
    The only way to do this is to go in through the "Artist's" Tab instead of "Albums" still, it is annoying.
    Any help for this would be appreciated.

  • Why are my playlists empty?

    Ok, bought a 5s.  All of my music is on an ipad2, pc that all my devices were synced to is dead and gone, never resynced, just used the ipad2.
    Had all the files on a HD.  Transfered the files into new itunes install on new pc.  Got all the music back in itunes.  Restored the settings for my 5s from full icloud backup.  Plugged it into pc with new itunes install, with all my music newly added.  Did a full backup into itunes on the pc.  Restored the phone from that backup to associate the 5s with this itunes.  Synced my entire library of music onto my 5s (larger capacity than old phone, decided to put all the music on).  Everything seems cool.  No lost data, auto sign in apps all still working....
    why are some of my playlist blank or incomplete?
    all the songs are there.  the playlists aren't in the new itunes install, but they are still on the phone.  Why can't the phone see that the files in those playlists are right there?

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. If you have all the media then my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may well let you recover some more useful information from the device without any other tools.

  • Why are the albums in iphoto 09 not showing up when I upload them to facebook

    I have downloaded photos off my camera and have put them into a new album. When I click on that album they are there. When I go to upload them onto my facebook and other sites the albums are not there. I can not figure out where they are. They are listed in my iphoto. Am I doing something wrong? I have done
    this many times and lately this has just happened. Why aren't the albums there? All my older albums are. And if I move the pictures into an older album the pictures don't show up there either, just the older ones. This is making me insane! Any help?

    I've tested with jpg, tif, png and I can't reproduce it. Is there a particular image format or all images?
    Since it's not working in another account, it's probably something systemwide.
    Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    The screen should give you these choices...
    Restore from TM backup
    Reinstall Mac OS X
    Get help online
    Disk Utility
    First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

  • Why are my albums out of order chronologically?

    Ok so I have my library sorted Album by Artist/Year. This worked fine until just recently. I bought some Lady Gaga Remix EPs, and things are starting to get out of order now. However, everything is bought from the iTunes store, so I don't know why it would be messing up. Here is what the stuff looks like:
    The Fame (2008)
    Just Dance Remixes 2 (2008)
    Poker Face Remixes (2008)
    Bad Romance Remixes (2009)
    The Cherrytree Sessions (2009)
    Christmas Tree (2009)
    LoveGame Remixes (2009)
    Paparazzi Remixes (2009)
    Paparazzi Remixes 2 (2009)
    Bad Romance Remixes 2 (2010)
    The Fame Monster (2010 (this is the explicit version, so was released a couple months after the original))
    The Remix (2010)
    Born This Way (2011)
    Born This Way The Remix (2011)
    A Very Gaga Holiday (2011)
    Telephone Remixes (2010)
    It should look like
    The Fame (2008)
    Just Dance Remixes 2 (2008)
    Poker Face Remixes (2008)
    The Cherrytree Sessions (2009)
    Christmas Tree (2009)
    LoveGame Remixes (2009)
    Paparazzi Remixes (2009)
    Paparazzi Remixes 2 (2009)
    Bad Romance Remixes (2009)
    The Fame Monster (2010)
    Bad Romance Remixes 2 (2010)
    Telephone Remixes (2010)
    The Remix (2010)
    Born This Way (2011)
    Born This Way The Remix (2011)
    A Very Gaga Holiday (2011)
    The bolded things are ones that are wrong. They are also the 3 most recent items of these that I bought.
    I can understand (maybe) the mix-up of same-year things not being in order, but having a 2010 thing be after the 2011 stuff makes no sense. Especially when they all have the correct years and were bought from the iTunes store...
    Any ideas? Also have a couple other albums with similar problems, but not bought from the iTunes store, so I attributed it to that.

    You may want to make sure some of these albums are not checking the compilation
    box under Get Info.   That has screwed up my sorting in the past.

  • Why are my album listings behaving oddly!?

    I'll try and keep this short, but it probably won't make sense without the detail...
    I've just been copying music across from iTunes to my iPod - mainly tracks from compilation CDs that friends have made up for me, and something odd has started happening.
    For example, I have a dozen CDs that are all 'Driving Mix'. Before the last major iPod Touch software update, a few months back, if I just copied all the CDs to iTunes and changed the album info on all the tracks to 'Driving Mix' and then copied that across to my iPod, they would all appear as one album - 'Driving Mix'. So I'd end up with one 'album' on my iPod which actually contained the 100 or so tracks from a dozen CD mixes.
    However, since the iPod/iTunes update, if I follow the same steps, and then go into 'albums' on my iPod, it now lists 100 albums called Driving Mix. And if I click on any of them, it still shows all the other Driving Mix tracks, but for some reason it is including them all separately in the album listings.
    It's not just happening with homemade compilation CDs - there are a few bought albums that I've copied across that are now doing the same thing.
    Any ideas why, or what I can do to fix it?

    Did you check "group compilations when browsing" under the Advanced preferences within iTunes?

  • Why are the albums in the device Sync Music window different from the albums in the itunes library? Can't sync albums onto my phone properly. (All software is the latest release.)

    When you select your device to sync music the album list is broken up into artists rather than the albums. The itunes library presents the artists and albums correctly (properly grouped particularly the complilation albums, but also the ones with artists and guests) but the sync aspect does not. It completely screws things up. A good product let down by obviously sloppy programming. Is there a fix? Or do I just change phones and avoid the hassle.

    Maybe the phone does things different from iPod Touch.  Tracks are listed to gether by album for me when looking at albums list.

  • Why are my Albums in the wrong order!!

    All of my albums in my itunes library are in the correct running order, likewise with my playlists. But i can't seem to get them in the right order on my new ipod. The playlists are fine. But the albums are in completely the wrong running orders in each and every one of my albums!! My ipod isn't set on Shuffle. What gives??? Is this the only way i can listen to individual albums, all jumbled up with the first track halfway through etc?? Someone please help!!!

    Hey man. Your problem is that the albums in iTunes are organized by the track number only. But when comes to iPod you must add the total number. E.g. track 1 is numbered 1. Make it 1 of what ever. In iTunes choose the album you want organize correctly. Then highlight all the tracks. Then right click one and choose Get Info. You can see under the track number you have two boxes. One for the track number and the other for the number of all tracks in the album. Just add the number of all track in that album to the second box. It fixed the problem for me & hope it does the same for you.

  • Why are my albums not sorting properly on my iPhone?

    I'm running iOS 6.0.2 on an iPhone 5 with iTunes Match and my albums are sorting in a strange fashion. The only connection: they're all David Bowie albums.
    The problem is some, but not all, of my David Bowie albums are being sorted under the letter "P". Albums such as "Aladdin Sane", "Hunky Dory", "Black Tie White Noise", and "Diamond Dogs". 18 albums total are doing this and I can't find a connection other than the artist. I've tried renaming one of the albums to a single letter, such as "A" and that puts it under the "A"s. When I change it back to its original title, it returns to the "P"s.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
    Thanks,
    ~M

    That didn't work.
    If I manually put songs on through iTunes it will show my Artist and Album but when I use my iTunes match it doesn't show it and also removes any I manually put.  It's all tied into iTunes Match.
    I tried removing all my songs from the cloud and then uploading/matching again but that didn't work either.  It's still broke when I turn on iTunes Match on my phone.
    The Songs are all messed up too, sorting wise.  I will have a random "B" song in the middle of the A's and then it goes back to showing the A's.
    Example
    A
    Almost Goodbye
    Almost Over
    B
    Baby
    A
    Almost Paradise
    Almost Perfect
    It's just really messed up.  I would love to start over from scratch and wipe everything but that didn't work either so I'm not sure what to do.
    I'm paying for the service?!!?!?!?

  • Why are my folders empty after moving from desktop to documents?

    I copied all of my files and folders from the desktop to "documents". They transferred ok and then I deleted them from the desktop. The next day, all of the newly moved folders were there in "documents" but they were all empty.
    How can I find and/or recover them?
    How can I prevent this?

    You can recover them from the backup you have on Time Machine.
    If you don't have a backup:There are some third party utilities that might be able to recover the files if you didn't write new data over them. Here's one: Mac Data Recovery to Recover Data on Mac OSX – Stellar Phoenix
    How to avoid this in the future:backup anything you don't want to lose.

  • Why are my albums disappearing on itunes?

    Every time I sync my ipod and iTunes all but 6 or 7 albums disappear on iTunes, but all my albums and playlists remain on my ipod. I then have to manually add them back in to iTunes by finding them on my laptop.
    It's done it twice today and both times the albums that remain in iTunes are different each time but the ipod has all my music on.
    How do I stop this doing it?

    What iOS is non the iPod?
    Are the apps compatible with the iPod model.iOS?
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier. You can only get the latest version from the app store.

  • Why are my album tracks out of order on iPhone

    I have tried the suggestions from other threads as to how to fix the issue, but none of these have actually worked. My problem exists with smart playlists. They appear as they should in iTunes playlists and when you look at the playlists within iPhone when it is connected. However, iPhone simply does not recognize the track order. Is this soundling like a bug in the software?

    I have a slightly different problem. I have a few artists "Greatest Hits" albums, My iPohone's "iPod" doesn't know the difference between each album. For example:
    Queen's Greatest Hits, Guns 'N' Roses Greatest Hits and Alice Cooper's Greatest Hits are all jumbled together into 1 "album" this is fine sometimes gives a bit of variety, but some days i just want to listen to GNR or Queen or Alice Cooper.

  • Why are unchecked albums or songs being added to my ipod?

    I've just recently upgrade(and kind of downgrade) from a 32gb ipod to a 8gb iTouch. I'm having the problem of too much music, but not enough space. I'm trying to add certain albums or songs onto my iTouch while not using up all my space. The problem is that my iTunes or my iTouch would add albums I don't want to add on my iTouch (again not enough space). For instance, I have multiple albums by Beyonce but I only want to add one of her albums onto my iTouch from my iTunes library, but it always adds all of her albums. I even unchecked all her albums besides the one I want, but it will still add all her albums onto my iTouch. On my iTouch menu under Music I have sync music selected as (selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres) selected. I don't have it as(Entire music library) selected. I don't know why it's adding unchecked and unselected music onto my iTouch when I sync it.
    Can someone please tell me how I can fix this, so that only the albums or songs I want to add onto my iTouch ONLY goes onto my device?

    Have a look under Playlists, Artists, Genres, and make sure you haven't checked something there that collects all her stuff. For example, if you had Beyonce checked under Artists, it'll transfer *all* Beyonce music.
    As an experiment, uncheck everything in those three lists, so you *only* have checkmarks under Albums.
    Hope that helps
