Question

Can I organize my iPhone photos on my Macbook and transfer them in the new folders to my iPhone?

I have created all the albums I need to organize all the photos in my Camera Roll on my iPhone. There are way too many photos, so I would like to plug my iPhone into my Macbook and use iPhoto and organize all my photos from my phone into those new albums, then have the photos inserted into the new albums transfered back to my iPhone. Is this all possible or am I just better off organizing them all on my iPhone?

iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

You can import your photos to iPhoto, then organize them into Events or Albums and sync these Events to your phone by selecting Sync Photos from iPhoto on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, then check Sync selected events... and check the Events and /or Albums you want on your phone, then sync.

With 11.0 that isn't an option. Edit, Prefernces does not have photos, contacts or calendars as an options box to check.

If you mean the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, it's still where it's always been. In iTunes go to View>Show Sidebar to make the new version look more like previous versions. Then connect your phone, click on the name of your phone on the left side, and Photos will show on the top right.
