Why can't photos be imported/manipulated one at a time?

I recently purchased an iPod Photo (60GB) and am highly unsatisfied with the software design with respect to the photos.
My problem is as follows: with respect to music, one has the ability to add and remove music files on an individual basis, and to manage them within specific playlists. Why then, is the same option not available with respect to photos?
The only way to add photos to my iPod is to synchronize the albums from my computer, which is problematic for several reasons. One, I basically have to delete every album and reload them (at this point I have 17 albums with over 1200 photos) even if I only want to add one photo. Two, I get a message telling me that not every photo could be uploaded into my iPod, but I have no way of knowing which ones were not loaded (you should be able to see the albums and their files - 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc... - in the iPod list in iTunes, the same way you can see what music files are in each playlist). Three, synchronizing every album just so I can add a few photos is annoying and time-consuming.
As it stands, I am basically operating blind with respect to the use of photos on my iPod. It surprises me that a company that seemingly seeks to meet every needs of its customers would neglect to develop such a fundamental and basic feature in its software.
Is anything being done about this?

Jamie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I believe you've posted in the wrong forum. You want either the iTunes forum (for the computer type that you have) as it is the application that does the up and down loading of files to the iPod or the iPod Photo forum (again for the computer type that you're on). This is the iPhoto forum which is strictly image management and has nothing to do with the iPod.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Why can I no longer import photos to iphoto library from the internet with a right click?

    Why can i no longer import photos from the internet to my iphoto library with just a right click?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • HT204258 iPhoto could read my iPhoto Library stored on NTFS drive, why can't Photos?

    This makes no sense to me. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 on 15in MB Pro. Just got the update which includes the "Photos" app instead of iPhoto.
    The "old" iPhoto could read my iPhoto library which is stored on an NTFS formatted drive. Why can't Photos?
    Am I missing something?
    I just get the ERROR message and directed to this page - If Photos can't upgrade your library because it's on an unsupported disk volume - Apple Support (which is COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL)
    So I now have an 80GB iPhoto Library sitting on my NTFS formatted drive (which is exactly where I want it) and Im just supposed to copy it to my MB Pro's internal drive??? That would take about 2 days, literally! Not to mention bogging down my Pro and making it impossible to carry my external drive to other computers where I edit.
    What do I do?
    Go out and buy another "volume that your Mac can write to?" ??
    Thanks for the sweet update Apple...not.

    You have been lucky previously. An iPhoto Library on an NTFS volume has never been supported.  But previous versions did not check the formatting of the drive.
    Not to mention bogging down my Pro and making it impossible to carry my external drive to other computers where I edit.
    Get yourself another external drive to use with Photos libraries and fomat it MacOS Extended (Journaled), then move your iPhoto Library there.
    See:  Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture (the sam goes for iPhoto, since both applications are using the same library format)
    The Photos Help states explicitly  (https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht211de786):
    By default, your System Photo Library is stored in the Pictures folder on your Mac, but you can move it to another location on your Mac or store it on an external storage device. However, to use iCloud services, the external storage device must be formatted using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, also known as HFS+.

  • I can only import bookmarks one at a time?

    When I navigate to my favorites folder it only lets me select one at a time? I have hundreds to import. How can I do the whole folder??? Control/select & shift/select won't work to select the list.
    My old computer was backed up online including favorites. I downloaded them onto the new computer but firefox won't let me select more than one at a time with either the import or restore functions.

    Export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in Firefox.
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Why can't I have more than one iTunes linked t my iPod

    I have Macs for years, all sorts, I currently actively use, iMac g417,iMac g5 20, iMac intel 24. G4 Mac Mini,Intel Mac Mini, G5 tower, G4 Tower, powerbook g4 and mac book. Yes I know but I work from home with Mac all day...
    I have thousands of songs, all legal, I'm old and have huge CD collection.. I have them spread around the Macs.
    I want to add different playlist from different iTunes to my iPod, just want to drag and drop. Don't care about iTunes store, my CD, my Macs, My iTunes, My Ipod, Not pirating any thing here, WHY CAN I NOT SIMLY DO THIS. I'm forced to go with another player that does not have these retrictions

    Hi Dean, I have no problems using my iPod simultaneously with my notebook and desktop (iBook G4 & iMac G5). All you need to do is un-check the "sync" iPod with iTunes box, or check manually manage music... whatever it is. As long as you are manually managing everything, it should not give you any problems. You can drag and drop to your heart's content! A few notes: MP3 CD's... are amazing, because you don't actually have to import them to your computer, you can just drag and drop the tunes onto your iPod. It might be to your advantage to back up your music libraries on MP3 CD's, the initial process is slightly tedious, but well worth it because you can always create CD's in the future if necessary and free up GB of your hard drive (I'm sure you already thought of this though, you sound pretty savvy.) The ONLY problem I do encounter is sometimes the iTunes on my G5 will just close on me. The trick is to only MANAGE the music from the initial iTunes regardless of where you ADD music from... if that makes sense. Alright, good luck and if you have any questions or anything needs clarifying, just drop me a line (or reply or whatever) Good Luck!
    P.S. I am using the newest iPod Video 80GB, I don't know if that will make a difference or not, but both my sisters have different Nano's and they work the same way that mine does.

  • Why can i no longer open more one page at a time

    I can no longer open more than on site at a time. One of the main things i like about fire fox is the ability to work with several windows open, which i do in my online marketing.
    Now if i click on another site it overrides the page i am on.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Also make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

  • Why can't i buy more than one thing at a time?

    I have 20+ items in my Wish List & I can find no way to buy all of them at once...only one at a time.  Since that is a highly irritating way to make my purchases, I have to believe that I am missing something somewhere - is there no shopping cart anywhere?
    Thank you.

    For some reason the 'buy all' button that used to appear on the wish list screen has been removed from the current version of iTunes, so you will need to buy items individually by clicking on their prices. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and mayeb the 'buy all' button will be reinstated in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
