HT1535 how do i transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my new ipad

I have read and reread the ipad manual and under importing photos and videos -  this is all it says,
"To transfer the photos to your computer, connect iPad to your computer and import the images with a photo application such as iPhoto or Adobe Elements."
There are no explicite instructions on how to get the photos from iPhoto onto my iPad.  There is nothing in iPhoto either.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive 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.)

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhoto on an iMac to iPhoto on a macbook

    How can I transfer my photos from iphoto on an imac to iphoto on a macbook, both have same operating software.

    Depends on what exactly you want to do and on what version of iphoto you have on each
    To move selected events from one to the other pruchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it to move the photos or events
    To move the entire iPhoto library
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

    Again for Aperture questions it is best to ask in the Aperature forum. This has nothing to do with iPhoto. It only involves Aperature

    How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to Adobe Elemnet?

    Hi
    iPhoto is a software application used to import, organize, edit, print, and share digital photos on a Mac OS.
    Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos from iPhoto '09 (versions 8.0 – 8.1.2) and iPhoto’11 (versions 9.0 – 9.1.3). You cannot import photos from versions previous to iPhoto '09.
    Import photos from iPhoto ‘09
    Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library
    Select Files > Get Photos And Videos > From iPhoto.
    Note:  The iPhoto option is not displayed if iPhoto is not installed on your computer. 
    The Import From iPhoto dialog 
    (Optional) You can convert events in iPhoto to individual albums in Elements Organizer 10. In the Import From iPhoto dialog, select Convert Events From iPhoto Into Albums.
    When you import an album and event with the same name, a single album is created and all associated photos are added to the album.
    (Optional) Select More options if you want to choose the events and albums for import. Select the events and albums you want to import.
    Click Import.
    Import photos from iPhoto ‘11
              Select File > Get Photos And Videos > From iPhoto. Click Import.
    I also a got an article for a quik reference.

    Do you want to transfer the entire library?  If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder.  Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
    Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.
