How can I Import photos directly from Mail into iPhoto?

Prior to updating to Lion, when viewing photo attachments within Apple Mail, I could do a quick preview of attached photo(s) within the email and click an iPhoto icon that would import the photos into iPhoto. Something has changed now when selecting "Quick Look" I do not get an option to send the photo to iPhoto. Am I missing somthing or is this feature no longer available with Lion/Mail?

Not sure if this helps or not. I recently installed Lion for my mother, and she couldn't figure out how to export photos in an email to iPhoto. Turns out she had to click on Details in the upper right corner of the email message. Then the Save and Quick Look buttons returned. If you click and hold on Save (possibly on the triangle on the right side of the button) there is an option to save to iPhoto.
I haven't upgraded to Lion myself yet so I can't answer your specific question regarding saving to iPhoto from the Quick Look preview.

  • How can I import a "book" from Aperture into iPhoto?

    I've created a "Book" in Aperture and want to import it into iPhoto so I can send the book to EU for the US. Thank you in advance!

    Not possible, I'm afraid.

  • TS4435 Can not add photos directly from Mail to iPhoto

    Apple calls Article: TS4435 a solution? Drag the photos one at a time to iPhoto? Pathetic. This is BROKEN!
    Has anyone discovered a better way to save attached photos to iPhoto?

    There are several work arounds, all involve additional steps.
    If Apple had intended for us to save Mail photos some other way, they would have removed the "Add to iPhoto" option from the "Save" drop down list. 
    I just spoke with a Sr. Advisor and opend a case so hopefully this will be fixed, some year.

    How can I import Photoshop-Shortcuts from CC into the CC 2014 update? Migration and Sync didn't help. What am I doing wrong? The .kys is also in the same folder as in the previous version of PS CC.

    If you had Illustrator you could take advantage of smart objects.

  • How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • How can I import Outlook for Mac mail into Lion Mail?

    How can I import mail from Outlook for Mac into Lion Mail?

    It is not Outlook that needs to be sync'd; it is the Exchange Server.  Find out from the System Administrator of the Exchange Server the EXTERNAL name and use that to setup a new mail account in Lion Mail.  I highlight the "external" because the URL used for Window's Outlook Clients will not work.  Try the webmail URL first.

  • Lion: import photo´s from Mail to iPhoto

    hi all...
    if i save new photo´s from mail directly to iPhoto, they lose their cam & geo data.
    save to desktop and import manual will work fine
    at snow leopard it works
    thx for help

    First, stop using the card in the camera. Some companies provide photo recovery software with their cards. If not here are some photo recovery programs, I've never used them though. You might also try a Google search for "SD card photo recovery" as some businesses provide this.

  • How can I import photo's from an older iPod to my new iMac ? I can do "import" in iPhoto, but the system does not "see" my iPod, even if it is connected to the iMac

    I bought a new iMac. All photo's from the old iMac are on my iPod. The old iMac had a problem, due to which I could not transfer photo's. So I am trying to import the photo's from my iPod to my new iMac. But this does not work. The new iMac suggests to replace the content of the iPod with the content of the iMac, but I want to do just the reverse. When the iPod is connected to the iMac, the iMac seems to ignore the iPod. Probably because the iPod was first used on the old iMac ?

    Photos on the iPod are not stored in standard formats, but in formats that are optimised for the space annd screen size of the device. So, unless you have specifically chosen to save full size images on the iPod - and have set up disk access for the job - then it's not going to work.
    There are apps that will recover photos from iPods. Have a search on MacUpdate
    But the best solution is to get the pics from your old Mac somehow.

  • Can I import my rules from Mail into iCloud?

    I have an elaborate system of rules forwarding incoming mail to various folders, and I'd prefer not to have to set it up all from scratch.

  • How can I save photos received in mail in iPhoto?

    If I receive photos in "Mail", if I save them they go to my folder "Pictures".  How can I save them to iPhoto?

    What is your iPhoto version? With the most recent MacOS X 10.9.4 and iPhoto 9.5.1 you can select the attached photos in Mail, ctrl-click them, and use the command "Export to iPhoto". This will add them to your iPhoto Library in a new event.

  • Importing "photo library" from iphone into iphoto

    I'm trying to import my photo library on my iphone into iphoto. It will only allow me to import the "camera roll". Any suggestions on how to do this?

    This is exactly what happened to me too. My TimeCapsule had backed up most of my albums but the last 2 or 3 were lost. I am also emailing them to myself ... or to my MobileMe library online. This is very slow and tedious. I may try that 3rd party program as well. I'm also gonna check the app store to see if there is something in there we could try ...

  • How can I import images directly from my Canon EOS 6D to Lightroom?

    When I try to import from my Canon EOS 6D camera to Lightroom, the Canon EOS software intervenes and wants to take over. I have to quit that software, go to Lightroom, and import from there. This happens whether I use the USB cable or a reader. I'm new to Lightroom. When I used Apple Aperture, the import was immediate. Aperture opened and started the process as soon as I connected the camera to my computer. Any idea what's happening here and how I can fix it?

    Do you need the Canon software? Uninstalling it would solve the problem. If it's anything like the Nikon software, it's not worth keeping ...
    On Windows, you could possibly fix it by changing the file association for canon files, don't know how that's done on a Mac, though.

  • How can I import photo notes from Canon Zoombrowser to iPhoto?

    Hi all,
    I used Canon Zoombrowser on various PCs before recently changing to a Mac, and have years' worth of photos all painstakingly annotated using the Notes field in Zoombrowser. When I import these photos to iPhoto there is no sign of the content of the Notes field. (In an ideal world, I guess it would automatically appear in the Description field.)
    I know the Notes field info is stored with the .jpg file, as it's there when I copy photos to other PCs and view them using Zoombrowser. Just wondering if anyone else has faced this problem, and what to do to fix it? Don't want to lose years' worth of notes!
    Thanks
    Anna

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    I have never heard of Cannon Zoombrowser - in doing a google search on it it appears to be a proprietary program for processing movies
    iPhoto works with photo standards - if the date is in industry standard EXIF or IPTC fields - http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/imagedatabases/iptc_naa.html - they are correctly processed in iPhoto - if they are in non standard fields then iPhoto will not handle them
    So the answer is that it depends on if Cannon Zoombrowser handles the data in a standard way or not

  • How can I import a .pdf from CorelDRAW into photoshop?

    Hey,
    I have a client who is sharing a CorelDRAW file with me, but I can't find a way to import it into Photoshop. I know Corel is for Vectors, and Photoshop is now, but I thought the .pdf format would be compatible... I managed to import one pdf, but the colours were very distorted. A larger file just wouldn't open at all.
    Any help? I only have Photoshop, not Illustrator.
    Thanks,
    Alex
