How to import photos from multiple iphoto libraries to iPad

How do I import photos from multiple iPhoto libraries from my iMac to the new iPad? I have 4 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac.
I can import photos from  iPhoto library 1,  to the iPad, but when I import photos from iPhoto Library 2, created on my iMac to the iPad,
it deletes the original photos that I imported from the first iPhoto Library and replaces them with the import from library 2.
I only want to import selected photos from each library to my iPad. Can someone plese help me?

As Ralph has suggested, if you want to sync photos from your computer, you must include all photos that you want to sync - with each and every sync. You cannot import photos from another Main photo folder on the computer. You must create an all-in-one photo library in iPhoto and sync from that folder. You can select one level of sub folders from within that main folder, but all of those folders must be included in the main folder - in your case it is in iPhoto. That is just how the sync process works with Photos.
I don't know how using third party apps affects the photos that you have already synced from iPhoto, but take a look at these apps in this Google search. Maybe Wifi transfer is the way to go for you.

  • Photos from Multiple iPhoto Libraries

    I just purchased an iPod Touch and attempted to sync it with my music and photos via iTunes... and ran into a problem for which there appears to be no suggestion of an answer in the manual or help files. A search thru this forum didn't turn up any ideas either. It seems such a simple thing that I'm wondering what I'm missing.
    Here's the issue: The photos I want are in different iPhoto Libraries (corresponding to different years). There does not appear to be any way to sync with albums in more that one library (or folder).
    Anyone know anything that might help here?
    Many thanks, dcl

  • How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries?

    How do i set up a slideshow with pictures from multiple iphoto libraries? One library is in my Macbook Harddrive, the other 2 libraries are in an external harddrive. Thank you!!

    You can't, simply. An iPhoto Slideshow can only draw from a single library, so you'll need to get all the images into one.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie is on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $99
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

    How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
    What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?

    What program and version do you have on your Mac computer - Photoshop Elements and its Elements Organizer or Premiere Elements and its Elements Organizer?
    The nature of your question suggests that you may be dealing with Photoshop Elements and its Elements Organizer. If that is the case, please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.

    I would merge them before the migration.  Also, spend some time doing any batch changes of names and dates beforehand too.
    iPhoto Library Manager has good merge and duplicate search facilities.

    In iPhoto 9.4.3 the following works:
    If you have not auto imported the photos from the Photo Stream, as Larry suugests, select the photos that you want to import in the Photo Stream, and drag them to the "Events" view in the Source List. They will be imported as new events, auto split with respect to your preferences.

  • How to import photo from laptop to iphone? is it possible?

    how to import photo from laptop to iphone? is it possible to do so?

    You're welcome.
    The photos are imported from the Camera Roll, not synced.
    Mac or Windoze PC?
    Which application on your computer are you using for the import?
    With a Mac, both iPhoto and the Image Capture application include an option and a prompt to delete the photos from the Camera Roll are the import process is complete - as when importing photos from any other digital camera.
    The Windoze Scanner and Camera Wizard includes the same.

    Connect the iPhone to the Mac using a USB cable, and then launch iPhoto, Photos, Image Capture, or Aperture, depending which applications you have installed. all can import from an iPhone.
    Which MacOS X version do you have and which iOS version? With newer systems you can also use Photo Stream:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

  • I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later.  But I have version 8.1.2.  I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.

    Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    How do I import photos from my PC to my IPad?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Hi Barbara,
    Your information has been very helpful and I do appreciate your kind assistance
    I have contacted iTunes and they are going to refund my money which is great.
    I went to store and purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premier (single package) Elements 10 s. I am using a new iMac with OS 10.7.4
    The Photoshop installed OK but she I chose to import photos from my camera and chose to create new folder named as the date shot a new folder is created but it totally shows the wrong date, I am sure we are not in 1970 or 1999 LOL. This happened with both a Canon Powershot and a Canon EOS camera. This problem does not occur with Picasa which works perfectly and does beg the question why I am persisting with Adobe products!
    The Premiere (on the same disk as Photoshop) will not install and I get the following error message
    Exit Code: 7
