Selecting more than one photo in pictures folder to import to iPhoto

Just started using iPhoto '08 and I want to import most of the photos from my pictures folder.
When I have iPhoto open and click the option to import, and then select my Pictures folder...how do I then select multiple photos to import at one time...instead of having to import one at a time?
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Same as everywhere else in the OS.
Click to select one
Click on one and then shift click on the last one to select a contiguous group.
Click on one and then command-click on others to select non-contiguous items
If you have folders of images you can import by folder.
You can also import by dragging and dropping files and/or folders to the iPhoto Window, the iPhoto Dock icon.
If you drag and drop to the Album section iPhoto will create an album if the same name as the Folder.
Regards

  • Issue selecting more than one photo

    Anyone else having an issue selecting more than one photo at a time in the iPhoto Library. I want to send a whole batch of birthday photos to my sister and I'm forced to send one photo at a time.
    Holding neither the shift or Command key while I click a photo does nthing. This is a new issue. I didn't used to have this problem

    Quit iPhoto. Try moving the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" file from your user's "Library >Preferences" folder to the trash. Try iPhoto again.

    Sending more than one file is easy to do but I am not sure how facebook works with this, you would have to try
    Click the picture you want to send in the MMS and select the contact, when it loads up and you have selected send as MMS the cursor should be at the top right next to the image file name - simply hit the menu button and select attach picture and browse to the next picture you want to send and once you have done that you should see 2 pictures in the MMS window ready to send - trackball or menu button to send from there
    Good luck

  • How do I select more than one photo for a contact sheet

    I am trying to print more than one photo per contact sheet (to save photo paper!) Iphoto help says to select the photos you want on the contact sheet and also to select how many photos you want on the "options" button on the contact sheet style selection. I cannot find either option in Iphoto.
    Thanks in advance,

    Before you select "Print," hold down the shift key and click on each photo that you want on the contact sheet.
    Then select "Print" with Style "Contact Sheet." The resulting window allows you to select the quantity of contact sheets that you want to print.

  • How can I select more than one photo to upload on programs (kijiji, Real estate Program, ect.)

    I am trying to post houses for sale on kijiji and it won't let me hold shift and grab 10 photos at once, i have to add them individually, when I go to internet explorer, it works fine.

    To be sure if this will work, you can right-click the browse input field to upload the file and see if that input field has a multiple attribute and allows to select for than one file.

  • Can't Edit Creator field in LightRoom 2.1 when selecting more than one photo

    Hi,
    I've imported hundreds of photos from different photographers for a book project I'm working on, and want to batch-change the CREATOR field to ensure each photo is properly marked as such.
    For instance: I've got a folder of 50 different photos, all by Joe Smith. I'll highlight all of the photos by hitting Command-A, then write Joe Smith into the Creator field and then press Return. Only one photo gets updated with the Creator name, the rest are unchanged. I specifically remember being able to do this in LightRoom 1.
    Help! What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug? Adobe can you please fix this? Thanks for any help!
    (Using LightRoom 2.1 for Mac.)

    I can't duplicate this, Richard. That is to say, it does apply the creator info for all selected pictures in grid view. LR2.1 on XP

  • Selecting more than one photo and scrolling issues

    After selscting a photo then holding my shift key and scrolling down to select more photos, my browser window bounces back to my first selected photo before I can select the group I have scrolled down to. Any ideas??

    fetchmusic:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You are trying to select all of the photos between the first selected photo and the next selected photo, right?
    If you select just two photos (Command key depressed) and start to drag do you get a red circle with the number of photos you've selected come up? If not then the problem may be that you don't have the Helvetica font installed. If so launch Font Book and check it out. You may have to get it off your system install disks (Pacifist) and install it manually.

  • Selecting more than one photo at a time

    how do I grab a bulk number of photos at one time on my ipad and I phone?  I've tried to hold my finger down on the first one because someone said it would let you drag your finger to more but it doesn't.  When I do that "copy" pops up on the first one and that's it.

    This is what you are talking about. Are you doing it like it use described here?

  • Can we email more than one photo at once from the iPad?

    It is easy to email a photo from the iPad, one photo at a time, but is it possible to send multiple photos attached to one email from the iPad?

    Sure, it's possible to select more than one photo in the Photos app, then press the email icon. There is a limit which is, iirc, five.
    Yes, five .... as soon as you select the sixth the email icon greys out. Just tap the photos you want to send to select them.

  • Select and Drag More Than One Photo

    I can no longer select and drag more than one photo at a time. With one photo it works fine. If I select more than one, I can't move them, so I have to add pictures to albums one at a time, which is rather tedious.
    This has only started happening recently. Possibly after updating to 10.6.8????
    Anu ideas please?
    iPhoto09, v8.1.2

    Then I would try a reinstall:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Can not sync more than one photo folder to my phone. lost all photos???

    Can not sync more than one photo folder at a time from my computer to mu iPhone. How do I get the drop down box to choose my photos, so I can manually pick photo folders???? Lost all my photo folders on phone.

    Create a parent folder on your computer to contain the folders of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To add an additional folder of photos to your iPhone, place the folder of photos in the parent folder followed by a sync.

  • TS4436 How do I select more than one picture and send them all to Facebook on my iPhone 4s with iso7?

    How do I select more than one picture and send them all to Facebook on my iPhone 4s with iso7?

    Hi, I want to thank you for all your information regarding my questions about sending more than one photo to Facebook. I did have to stop in at Verizon (where I bought my iPhone) to find out why I did not have a choice to choose Facebook with the export icon. The tech had to go into my setting and enable Facebook to recognize my iPhone. When I upgraded to iso7 somehow it could not recognize Facebook. Once he did this for me I was able to follow your advice and your answer solved my question. Thank you
