Moving photos within iPhoto library

Again, this shows my ignorance, I had no idea there was a "choice" I thought my pics had to go to IPhoto because that's what opened and imported them. At the risk of sounding exactly what I am, "uninformed" how do I save them somewhere other than IPhoto when I import? I do like some of the features of IPhoto, it is just so different than what I was used to. Thank you so much for your help, this part below worked perfect for me and answered my question!! How To Find The Photos Not In An Album: File -> New Smart Album Album -> Is Not -> Any

I so agree with you. This guy is very atypical of Apple and he seems to be the only person who replies but is not at all clear with the concepts he is talking about and has a very negative attitude to the user community who are trying to fathom a very un-intuitive photo organising system.

If you want an answer you have to provide details including the version of iPhoto and what happens when you try as well as exactly what you are doing

An it is best to start a new thread since long threads tend to contain multiple different problems and are confusing to everyone including you and the volenteer iPhtoo users here you are trying to help you

Hi Niku,

I had to facepalm several times after reading these replies. Simple answer is this:

- Go to View (top of your page)

- Hit "Show Sidebar"

That's it. It will display your albums in a list, like how it was before the update.

Hope this helps!

This is the iphoto for Mac forum and the question is about using iPhoto - there is no "show Sidebar" command in iPhoto -- you posting about Photos not about iPhoto - the Photos forum is un the OS X section not in the iLife section of these forums

This works in Albums and not Events or Photos view.

1 - have you read the thread carefully?

2 - are you speaking of iPhoto albums? Or some othr iPhoto entity?

LN

Correct - it is easy in an album

You generally have the concept which if you want to use iPhoto is critical

Similar issue here. I am unable to drag photos from the library into Albums. The Albums will not accept the photos.

Thanks. I'm running iPhoto 8, and it looks like my problem is solved.

going forward in the iphoto preferences set the action when a camera is connected to yoru preference - do nothing - image capture - another program ???
