I can't figure the albums. I add a new folder and my existing photos are over written. Apple tells me to create one folder and lump all my pictures in it. So how can I create separate albums if I have to lump all my pics together? Frustrating. The manual is so missing in com tent

Help

This is the introduction forum....so welcome.

The help forum would be a better place to ask questions....

Each folder you make on your computer, will be an album on the iPad. So make as many different folders as you want with different names, and you will have that many albums. I don't know who told you you could only have one folder, but they were wrong.

Google, "How to create new album in iPhoto"

Result; "Apples very own tutorial"
