Hi,
Ive dragged a load of photo albums from an external HD into photos but it hasnt kept them in there albums just 3000+ photos spread out.
Is there a way to put them into there original albums without doing it manualy 1 at a time.
I cant delete them all and start again as all my iphone pics are mixed in.
Many thanks

If you imported photos then you have no albums, just photos - and yo have to build the albums
If you open a Photos library then you will have the albums that have been defined in it - albums are part of the Photos library

SO what your saying is i have to manualy create the albums for my 3000+ photos or delete them and add 1 album at a time & title it?
Yes
Exactly how do you think any computer program could know how to make the albums with your photos? magic? Mind reading?
in All Photos teh photos are sorted by date added to Photos so maybe you can make the albums from there easily

You can import folder of image files into Photos and have them be in albums with the same name as the folder if you use this Applescript from the Photos for Mac User Tips page: Import Folders of Image Files into Library as Albums.
You can download a compiled version of the script as an application from this tutorial site: P01 - Applescripts from Photos’ User Tips Compiled as Applications
