How do i get my Nikon photos from viewNX 2 into the iPhoto library?

1. How do I get my Nikon photos from ViewNX 2 into the iPhoto Library?
2.I tried by copying them and moving to the iphoto folder. Now the Iphoto applicationwon't open because it is locked. the help item says to open it with command option keys down to get the iphoto library First aid window. it does not come up.

How did you add the photos to the iPhoto Library folder?  The way to import photos is to drag them onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock or into the open iPhoto window.  
it does not come up.
What does not come up?  What happens when you try to launch iPhoto with those two keys held down?
Try the following again being sure to hold those keys down before launcing iPhoto and until the window opens:
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Hopefully someone can help me with my question.  When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
    If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding;  try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it:    Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

  • Copying saved photos on dvds into the iphoto library manager

    I am trying to copy photos saved in 2011 on dvds into my library manager. I followed the instructions about copying them on my hard drive first. Now that they have been copied on the library manager, can I delete the folder they are in on the hard drive? it seems to me that we are having to take a lot of space duplicating all those photos.

    What "library manager" is that? Do you mean iPhoto Library Manager? If so, remember that it's not a place. You can't put anything "into" it. It just shows you the Libraries that you have on your HD.

  • I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

    I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

    Setting up iCloud with the same account data and switching on Photostream should do the trick:
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
    If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • How do I get my stored photos from the cloud?

    How do I get my stored photos from the cloud?

    If you mean Photoroll.
    Then you should use the standard process of connecting your device to a computer.  It will be recognized as a camera and ask you to offload them.
    If they are photos loaded from iTunes onto your phone (ie Albums), they cannot be removed this way.  You will need a 3rd party app such as Phototransfer.

  • How can i get back my photo from icloud?

    hello,
    same question   how can i get back my photo from icloud?
    thanks

    iCloud.com does not have a photo's tab.  Photo stream is intended to stream images to your computer via iPhoto 11, or to another iOS device.  See this article for more detailed information - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486.

  • How do you copy photos from one iMac's iPhoto library to another iMac's iPhoto library??

    I have 20K+ photos on my original iMac and enjoy the desktop shuffle of pictures.  I have a newer iMac that has its own library of pictures but I would really like to take all of the pictures from the original iMac and put them on the newer one.  I have a wireless network with an Airport Extreme that both machines are on.  Both machines are running Leopard.  Same versions of iPhoto 11, 9.2.2.  I have an iPad that has all of the pictures on it and that I sync on the older iMac.  When I tried to connect my iPad on the newer iMac in hopes that it would upload the pictures, iTunes gave me warnings about the device not being synced, erasing the library, etc., so I immediately ejected the iPad.  I have all these options for copying the data from one machine to the other but can't seem to make any of them work.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Larry, I'll look into the iPhoto Library Manager.  I've downloaded the free trial to get a feel for it.  My large photo library is 85GB and I want to avoid having to buy an external drive just to make this one move.  My iDisk is about 20 GB so I would be doing 5 exports to get it all done.  I guess what I really need to do is understand my network a bit better and see how I can transfer this across my lines.  I appreciate your quick response!

  • When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop.. won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not... need to fix this

    When trying to import photos with iPhoto from photoshop... won't let me keeps saying that the photos are already in the iPhoto library but they are not

    If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow.  However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

    Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

    You don't need to manually put iTunes Store purchases in the cloud. If that purchase can be stored there in your country, it's done so upon purchase. If not, it isn't possible.

    How do I get iTunes to recognize music imported into the file structure?

    Press Alt or Ctrl+B to reveal the menu bar if needed.
    Use File > Add Folder to Library if you just want to import it.
    If you're trying to relink broken entries in a library with the corresponding media then some more details would help.

  • How do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?

    If I want to use iTunes to catalog FLAC files (but NOT play them...as I use my logitech Squeezebox fior that) how do I get iTunes to accept FLAC files into the library?

    As polydorus notes, iTunes has the huge shortcoming of not handling FLAC. 
    There are plugins that allow iTunes to play FLAC, but everything I've seen says they are problematic. 
    A much better approach is to get a 3rd party conversion program such as Switch and convert the FLAC files to an iTunes-compatible format such as  AAC or AIFF.
    Put the converted files in your iTunes library, and keep the original FLACs on hand for when you are using a more capable player.

  • Move Photo Files back in the iPhoto Library

    Before a few months ago, I had not checked the "copy files into the library" (or something similar, my iPhoto is French-speaking...).
    As a result, whereas my newer photo files are in the iPhoto library special folder, the older ones are not (there are plenty of them).
    I have successfully moved my iPhoto Library to an external hard drive, all is well for the newer files, but how do I handle those files that are not in the library?
    Ideally I would like them to be integrated in the library so I don't have to bother anymore, very much in the way iTunes can copy all files in the iTunes Library, basically.

    Migoo
    In the iPhoto Library Folder/ Originals you now have alias files for these pics. You need to copy the full files into the Originals folder and overwrite the aliases that represent them.

  • Not all of my Photostream photos show up in the iPhoto Library

    I have my iPhone WiFi-enabled so that photos are usually uploaded automatically to my iMac before I sync. They show up in Photostream but not all the photos show up in the iPhoto Library. When I go to edit one in Photostream, it takes me to a copy in the Library, but that's the only way I can locate it in the library - the missing photos don't show up in either Events or Photos.
    I'm concerned that I'm losing some shots as Photostream rotates thru the most recent 1000 pics.
    I'm on recent Mac OS and iOS, and have had Photostream enabled for almost a year...

    Check the sort options in the Events mode.  Sort by Date - descending so the newest events will be at the top of the window. There's be a single event for each month titled like htis: Mar 2014 Photo Stream.  All new photos added to the Photo Stream from your mobile devices in March will be imported into that event.
    You can try the following to "jump start" the Photo Stream:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively.
