HT201302 importing photo library

I wish to import my photo library to my computer. The place where my photos was has been lost and therefore my itunes library sync will not work.
Please tell me how i can move my photo library from my phone to my computer.

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 to import photo library from iPhone?

    Hello everyone,
    I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.
    I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?
    Thanks,
    Beto.

    iPhone is not designed for this. No support for importing from the Photo Library, only designed to import pix you took on the camera.
    You can look at PhoneView, which will pull photos from the Photo Library. HOWEVER, these will be down-sized low-res photos, not high-quality originals. You'd be MUCH better off using a USB drive to copy the photos from the PC and transfer them to the Mac.

  • Slow mac after importing photo library

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 2,9ghz intel core i7, 8gb ram, 1 tb harddrive (219gb free). I recently imported my old photo library, wich is quite big and now it seems my mac is slowing down... The library was kind of messy and i had some trouble organizing it so i ran the duplicator anhiliator and it found 35 GB of duplicates wich is now in the iphoto dustbin. Howver - iphoto is riunning very slow - I wonder if it is something in the way the photos are imported - the change in speed certainly happened after the import... It was previously a Picasa photo library - dont know if that matters? Does anyone now how to handle this?
    Thanks, Fritz

    I'll try the wired connection tonight - I do have other devices that access photos/mp3's over my wireless network (eg. xbox360) that seem to have no difficulty with speed.
    Do you think it would make any difference if I imported in smaller groups (maybe one folder/50 photos at a time) rather than trying to import my entire photo album at once (3000 photos). It might take a few days, but it is a process I could run in the background while I surf. Just curious if iPhoto cares - does it take the same amount of time to import 50 photos 20 times, versus 1000 photos in one shot...?
    thanks for the advice

  • 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?

  • Slow importing photo library from network hard drive

    I have about 20GB of photos stored on a network hard drive. I'd like to import them into iPhoto but I don't want to store them locally on my macbook pro as it will take up too much space.
    I followed the advice from previous posts and set up my library on the network drive - however the import process is taking way too long. Last night I was able to get about 100 photos in 3 hours. I eventually gave up and stopped the process. I realize that transferring via the wireless network is slowing things down but there has to be a way of doing this that doesn't take several days. I didn't have this problem on my PC using Adobe Photoshop Elements - it was able to import the same number of files from the network drive in less than an hour. I watched iPhoto while it imported a single (small) photo - it took about a minute just to import a file less that 1mb in size.
    any sugestions or should I just stick to Windows?

  • Import photo library from iPhone?

    I am trying to download photos to my Mac from my iphone 4s.  I am able to download my camera roll but I have thousands of picutures that have been taken from my old PC that I stored on my iphone.  I want to take these off and put them in iPhoto, any suggestions?  I don't even see these pictures in iPhoto.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply!  I transferred the pics from an old windows XP laptop -click and drag.  The iPhone stored them as pics under using the same name as the original files on my old laptop.  No app was used. 

  • HT201302 I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    I need more space on my iPhone to update to iOS 7.0.6. I was able to import and then delete my Camera Roll but not my Photo Library. How do I do that?

    To delete your photo library you need to connect to iTunes, then remove the selection for the images, then sync the device.
    While you are connected to iTunes do the update through iTunes. It takes much less memory as the update is loaded onto your computer, unpacked, then sent to the device.

  • HT201302 My Camera Roll is empty, but I am trying to import my Photo Library to a new computer's iPhoto...can I do that?

    iPhoto isn't seeing any of my pictures.  Help appreciated.

    If you meant to transfer the iPhone's photo library to a computer?
    Yes you can but you need a 3rd party tool to do that:

  • Importing a photo folder just with references creates a photo library 2/3 of its size. crazy!

    after ignoring iphoto for many reasons over the last years i thought i give it a try with the new photo app.
    i imported a 70gb photo folder - turning OFF to copy it into the library first, just refering to them - and now it ate up all my space by creating a 41gb (!!!) photo library just with references alone. so now i have a 70gb folder plus an index file that is 41gb big. i am beyond baffled.
    am i doing something wrong here or are they crazy?
    they cannot possibly think this is a smart way to store photos with the small internal hard drives they give us nowadays can they?

    it gets even worse. "photos" has created empty subfolders of almost every photo in my original photo folder.
    thank you apple. good job.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • 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 my photo library to iPhoto?

    I recently got a new mac and a new iPhone, so I imported my photos from iphoto which was my old camera roll and transfered it to my new iPhone. On my iPhone I now have three albums, Camera Roll and Photo Library and another album that is the same as photo library. First can I delete photo library or the other album? Second my more important question, how do I import my photo library from my iphone to my new mac? Thanks

    It has said this for about a month now and I would just hide iPhoto since I could not close it. I have not needed to turn off my computer until now. But now it is a problem because I can not upgrade my computer

  • How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

    How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do.
    Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
