Is there a way to import photos into iPhoto '11 from MobileMe Gallery?

I am soon to take a trip with a digital camera, iPad2 and camera connection kit. I know I can store a great many photos on my iPad during the trip. I have a MobileMe account, so I know I can export the photos to the Gallery easy enough. I would like to know if, when I return home to my iMac, there is a way to import those photos directly into iPhoto from the MobileMe Gallery. If yes, then I can delete the photos from the iPad2 periodically as they mount up, knowing they are safe in the Gallery and available for further use in iPhoto and elsewhere. If no, then the Gallery is really of little use to me and I won't spend the time uploading to the Gallery.
My apologies in advance as I am also posting this exact question in the MobileMe forum.
I depart very soon and hope the Community here can offer some quick advice! Thanks!

If you can access your photos from a Finder window, You can drag and drop them into an iMovie Project from there. Just make sure they are in a stable place, because if you move them later, iMovie will not know where to find them.

  • Best way to import photos into iPhoto from apeture

    Hi
    I imported all my photos from iPhoto to apeture a while back, and after using it for a year, have decided its not for me.
    Now I want to import them all back into iPhoto from apeture, with preserved events (projects in apeture), metadata and quality.
    Can anyone provide a step by step guide to do this easily and efficiently?
    Many thanks in advance
    Richard.

    he only communication between the two is as follows:
    Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
    Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
    That's it.
    So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
    iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
    1. Export all your Masters
    2. Export all your Versions
    You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
    Import them into iPhoto. Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates.

  • Alternative way to import photos to iPhoto?

    hello,
    is there a way to import photos into iPhoto without opening iPhoto? i tried dragging a photo to my iPhoto folder, but afterwards that photo didn't appear in iPhoto.
    Overall, it takes a long time to open the iPhoto app. and i wanted to know of a another way i can organize my photos w/o using the iPhoto app. i'm begining to think that the Windows way of keeping photos is more convenient.

    Jason,
    The one thing you can't do is put things in the iPhoto library folder from the Finder. It is very important that you read this
    Don't Tamper with the iPhoto Library Folder
    As you have already experienced, iPhoto won't know that you put it there.
    I think that you can drag a photo to the icon on the dock, but that in turn will open iPhoto.
    Mail app will let you save attached images directly into iPhoto if that is where your images are coming from.
    I know you want to do it without opening iPhoto, but there really is no other way. You can drag it to the open iPhoto window. Or you can use the "Add to library" menu command as long as the photo originates from anywhere
    b but
    the iPhoto library folder.
    You have to understand that iPhoto is a data based system. Everything has to be done through the iPhoto app and it takes care of all the filing. Its different from the windoze way, but once you let go of the old way you will find this more convenient and easier than managing a file tree.
    How long does it take to open iPhoto?

  • Is there a way to import photos from Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    Is there a way to import photos from a Canon Powershot S45 after downloading Yosemite?

    I was reading another post yesterday about a Canon PowerShot S40 owner who previously used Image Capture to bring the images into the computer. They reached out to Canon and were returned a response stating that the drivers weren't compatible for OS X Yosemite. The best bet would be a card reader. The JPEG files are still going to be the same, but connecting with a USB cable directly to the camera isn't feasible any more. Head to the nearest Best Buy and pick up a USB card reader and you'll be able to see your pictures in Finder and can then import them to iPhoto or wherever you keep your pictures.

  • Is there any way to import photos directly from Blackberry bold smart phone

    Is there any way to import photos from my blackberry bold to the my ipad 2?

    Not directly, no, not that I've seen. You need to get the photos from your Blackberry into your computer. From there you can sync them to your iPad.
    Regards.

    Is there a way to import photos to the iPad and put in an album without having the photo also in the Camera Roll?  I have a photo transfer app but when I import the album and photos they are also shown in the CR.  When you delete them from CR they are deleted from the album too.

    You can sync photos from your computer via iTunes, and each folder that you sync will get its own album : syncing photos. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync.
    In terms of albums that you create directly on the iPad no, effectively you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you delete the original photo you will therefore also be deleting all pointers to it.
    You could consider a third-party photo management app instead e.g. Photo Manager Pro

  • Is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    Unfortunately cutting and pasting doesn't work.  The margins are so different for each document as the first document is a standard report with the text centered on the page while the second document is in the form of a letter that is off center toward the right side of the page.  Cutting and pasting either one into the other (I've tried both ways) alters both documents in a way that causes the images, quotes, etc that are interspersed throughout each of them to show up in the wrong place (and they cannot be moved to the correct location due to the differences in margin. 
    They really need to simply be placed end to end rather than trying to combine them into one.  This is apparently a simple thing with Pages on the Mac itself but it does not appear to be as simple with the iPad app.  Thanks anyway for your help.

    Hi,
    Is there a way to import photos from Ipod which were earlier synced from Itunes? If there isn't any such feature on itunes then please refer to any apps/softwares that can do the job...

    No.
    You can e-mail them to yourself.
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your pics?

  • When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files:

    When importing photos into iPhoto I get an error Unreadable Files: The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data).
    I can open the JPG in question with PREVIEW, photoshop etc.. actually if I try to import a photo that I had originally imported it also fails..
    Please help... Thank you..

    I too had this error message (and to be honest, it was becoming a bit of a pain). I resolved it in a slightly different way to Terence.
    I had 10 photos that were allegedly unreadable; however, as Terence rightly says, they are duplicates. When I opened iPhoto I mad a note of each of the files concerned and did a Spotlight search throughout my hard drive.
    For each photo, there were four or five duplicates. I deleted all but one of each of the photos and then reopened iPhoto. No more error message.
    The original problem stemmed from importing my files directly from an external device I was using with a previous computer [that was running XP].
    Anyway, hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to import several tracks at once from my Boss BR8 so that they show up as separate tracks in GarageBand?

    Is there a way to import several tracks at once from my Boss BR8 so that they show up as separate tracks in GarageBand?

    I had to google your device - looks like it's a vintage multi-track recorder that records to Zip disks. So I guess there's no digital USB or Firewire multichannel output and no way to transfer your tracks digitally - or is there? If not, your only option is to record the device's audio track by track into GB.

  • Can't import photos into iPhoto

    I have a Sony DSC W5 digital camera. For five years I have been able to import photos from the Sony camera into iPhoto. In the last two days I can no longer import photos into iPhoto. I get an "unrecognizable file" prompt. I can drag the photo files onto the Finder and view them there. The photo on the Finder has a .jpg suffix just as all the other photos in iPhoto. Anybody got an idea on how to solve this problem? Thank you.

    get the photos off of the card and reformat the card using the camera format command
    Can you import the photos from disk once you have moved them from the camera to the disk? If not try opening one preview and saving as to create a new file and import that

  • Importing photos into iPhoto 9 already geotagged in Picasa 3.5

    Is it possible to import photos into iPhoto 9 that have already been geotagged in Picasa 3.5?
    The Goetagging in Picasa seems (to me) to be easier to use (close integration with Google Earth, but the look and feel of the iPhoto app, slideshows and printing options are far better in iPhoto. (just my personal opinion - maybe not shared by all!)
    Are the photos tagged by Picasa in such a way that the lat/long info is embedded in the file and readable by iPhoto?

    I have no idea if Picassa "properly" tags the photos or not (i.e. puts the data into the photo's exif). I guess you could simply tag on then add it to iPhoto and see if the location sticks.
    But as an aside, I use Graphic Converter (CG) to, among a number of tasks, Geotag my photos before I add them to iPhoto. GeoTagging can be done with a GPS data log file or you can also Geotag them using Google Earth, which you may prefer. CG definitely tags them correctly and when I later add them to iPhoto the locations are correct.

  • Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash?????

    Is there any way to recover photos you have deleted from iphoto trash;ie  emptied trash..

    Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
    If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
    Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service
