Thanks Marilyn,
What a silly program. Apple should be ashamed of themselves producing such a poor quality photo application. Thought they knew what they were doing. ( My first experience with Apple) However, now I know what to do about it, I may be able to solve the problem by including folders ( say folders A, B & C) within the folder that I 'newly' want to transfer. That way I can at least have some control over what is where. As I add to the albums, I just need to add another folder to the first few I have linked together. Would that work?
Alternatively, is that a more professional photography App that I could use with my i-Pad, as photographs are an important part of my reason for getting the i-Pad in the first place.
