Placing photos in different albums on iPad

14 years ago • updated 11 years ago • 6

Unfortunately placing photos in a different albums in the 'Photos' app is currently not possible. We would love to be able to fix this, even for our own use. However, with the current version of the iPhone/iPad SDK is not possible.

Apple does not provide an approved way to save photos to a new album or even to create one. We are limited with the access that Apple gives developers to the iPhone/iPad photos and it is currently very restricted :( We hope there will be a way to create albums in the next release of iPhone OS for iPad (coming at the end of the summer) to fix this issue and make our app better.

We hope this is an understandable answers. Please contact us if you have any question or comment.

Thanks for using Photo Transfer App

Hello - I'm confused. When transferring photos from PC to Ipad, the application gives you the opportunity to create a new album. Yet when I create the album, it does not show up on the ipad.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not supported?

Dear Shaun,

Thanks for contacting us. This post is about a year old. Apple released iOS5 since then allowing developers to create albums from inside of the app as our app does now.

After you create the album from our app you can start transferring photos to the new album you created. Please open the 'Photos' app before starting our app to make sure that the photo library is up to date. Then try to create your album again and start uploading photos to it.

Let us know if you need more help. We will be glad to assist you.

Best,

Thanks Enrique - After transferring the photos, the album did not show up in the native photos application. However, it did show up a bit later. Odd...

One question - isnt the transfer limit 200 photos per batch? So far, if I go over say 130, the app does nothing after selecting the photos to transfer. If I bring it down to 100 it transfers ok.

I'm trying to create an album on my iPad 2 running iOS 6) via PT on an iMac (running MacOS 10.6.8). The process starts but it never stops. What am I doing wrong? Is PT still being supported?

Hi Graham,

Please go to this web address to get the instructions on how to enable access to your photos via the 'Privacy settings' which is most likely the problem in this case:

Thanks for the reply, but I had already allowed the setting you recommend, so that wasn't what caused the problem. After I wrote to you I started using the Browser version of the program on the Mac and then everything worked as expected. I don't know why - I certainly tried to do the same actions (create an album on the iPad and then transfer photos from the Mac to the iPad).
