An Apple/iPad-2 UK newby here - please be gentle!


The Album page 'buttons' are on the top of the screen on my iPad, but your directions are fine Ruth. However, I am having similar difficulties to Joseph in trying to move photo's around.


1) How do we re-position photo's within an Album?


2) What does Copy do within the iPad - it doesn't seem to do anything.


3) How can I delete a photo from an Album, without deleting it from all other locations?


4) How can I edit a photo and add the edited version as a new photo in either the same Album or another?


5) And is there any way of securely linking selected music to a slideshow, rather than having to select everytime it is viewed?


I feel these are all basic requirements for displaying photo's on the iPad, but can't see how to do them.


Hope someone out there can help.

also, can someone explain how to synch the iOS albums such as "Camera Roll", "Last Import", "All Imported" with iTunes so I can manage these pictures. I recently purchased the Camera Connection adapter and imported several hundred pictures to my iPad2 that are sitting in one big album.... I like to have them in specific folders... if this is not possible, what a waste of $$$ Thank you

Doesn't loook to be a way.....for whatever reason Apple is not competent enough to do a simple file transfer. And it's not about not being able to get everything for everyone out the door. It's been 3/4 of a decade now. I think it's about time.


It's one of the things that makes it so you can't get away from just using mobile devices. You have to have a PC. Meanwhile, Android fan boys get to move their files around.


Come on, this feature should come way before graphic redesigns of iTunes.

Odd. I've NEVER synched my iPad third gen to a computer and have absolutely no trouble getting files on and off it and into what ever container I need them to be in. Including moving photos from one album to another.


If there is something in partucular you are trying to do, post your issue. Someone might be able to help. Otherwise, you're just blowin' smoke.

Hi. I've come up with exactly the same problem that the original poster was having. I've got a couple of albums and I just edited a photo in one of them to remove red eye. All good so far. But when I wanted to save it, it got saved to the camera roll rather than back in to the album that I was in. So now I want to move that back in to the original album but I can't find any option other than to copy it to a new album. I just don't understand why I need to connect my ipad to a computer to allow me to perform this very simple function. Am I missing something?


Cheers

David

I'm having the same issue. I'm trying to move pictures from the camera roll to the photo stream and can't find a way to accomplish this. I was able to actually e-mail myself one of the pictures to my icloud e-mail address and get the picture to the photo stream that way, but that sure is a long path for a short trip. Does anyone have another solution to this problem?

You cannot move them from the camera roll to Photo Stream.
You can add them to Photo Stream but they will stay in the Camera Roll.

When you take a photo, it goes to Photo Stream (if it is enabled).
