Abstract

An information-processing apparatus includes a networking device that communicates with an external apparatus. The information-processing apparatus also includes a storage that stores an album of a plurality of content data and a transfer log indicating whether each of the content data has been transferred to the external apparatus. The information-processing apparatus additionally includes a processing unit that identifies certain content data from the content data of the album when the transfer log indicates that the certain content data has never been transferred to the external apparatus and controls a display of information about the album. Further, the processing unit starts a transfer of the certain content data to the external apparatus, when the album has been selected and the certain content data has never been transferred to the external apparatus, and updates the transfer log when the networking device transfers the certain content data to the external apparatus.
