iPhoto 11 9.4.2: When moving photos from the main viewing area to an existing album, an "Untitled" album is made. I am holding the photo until the " " sign appears. I can't get the photo into the existing album.

I.E. I have photos from my events and photo stream I want to add to an album called "Skiing"

I try to draging and dropping the photo and it will not add; even if I drag directly from the library.


Very frustrating.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 2.3 ghz 8 GB RAM

Does this only happen with your current iPhoto library? As a test, create a new iPhoto library, add a few photos, and try to drag photos to an album. Does it work?


If yes, repair your current iPhoto library:

  • Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and double click your main iPhoto library; hold down the keys until you are seeing the "First Aid" panel.
  • Select "Repair Database" from the panel.

I'm not clear on what you are doing


But as a test quit iPhoto, depress and hold the option key while launching iPhoto - at the bottom of the resulting select library window use the create new library command and create a new test library - import a few photos into this test library - see if the problem is repeated in the new test library or not and report back here with the results

All I am trying to do is copy a photo from my "Photo Stream" to an existing album.

Each photo I try to drop into the existing album makes it's own "Untiteld" album.


I tried repairing the data base, same issue.

I made a new test library, imported some picts, created an album to store them in, dragged from the events window to the album; same results.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
