Can i add photos from a different iPhoto without syncing? I jst want to copy a folder or event?

I just want to copy a folder or event to my iPad that is synced with a different computer.

If you are running iOS5 you have photostream. Provided, you have installed iCloud on your Mac, you can simply put the pictures into photostream and they will appear on your iPad. The only problem here might be upload and download time, if you have many photos to upload.
Another option, especially if you want to do this more often, or you have large files, is to get the camera-adapter set for the iPad. If you export the pictures from iPhoto to an SD-card (or your camera, if you camera supports that) and create a folder system that mirrors the one your camera uses (usually a DCIM folder with subfolders), you will be able to then use this SD card with the SD-card adapter to import the files in your iPad. I've done that a couple of times and it works really well! Of course if you still have the pictures on your camera or SD-card, you can import straight from there!

Can I import photos from an old iPhoto library?

Can I import photos from an old iPhoto library on an external hard drive to my current iPhoto library? The icon on the hard drive appears greyed out when I try via Import.

Open the older library and export the Photos from it to the Finder (File -> Export) and switch to the new Library and import those.
Or, use iPhoto Library Manager to move the photos, plus all the versions and associated metadata to the new Library.

After downloading yosemite, can't import photos from camera to iPhoto

After downloading Yosemite 10.10.1 to my Macbook Air, I can't import photos from camera to iPhoto. Had no problem before. It recognizes camera and says loading, but it never does load photos.

That's the latest version.

How can I transfer items from iphone to tunes without syncing?

how can I transfer items from iphone to tunes without syncing?

I misread your post. You can't transfer items to iTunes without connection to your computer. To transfer without synching, make sure you don't have your preferences in iTunes set to automatically synch. Then when you connect your phone but before you synch, in iTunes File>Transfer purchases. Note that only iTunes purchased media can be transferred this way.

How can I add photos from Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

How can I add photos taken during the past month from my Camera Roll to the Photo Stream album?

Hi,
It's easy to do in iPhoto11 (click on a photo in iphoto and select share in the bottom right corner, then select Photo Stream), I'm not sure you can do this on the iphone.

I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4? Any advice or tricks?

I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4. Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up? Any tricks or advice?

Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Can't find photos from 2010 in iphoto?

Recently I had to find Christmas photos for 2010 as well as my photos from my overseas trip also 2010. I know that i put them into iphoto from my iphone. They aren't on my iphone anymore as that crashed but I did do a backup of the iphone in itunes before that happened. Do photos of a different year get put somewhere else??? I am very new to a Mac. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers

No, photos from a different year don't get put somewhere else.
Try use a Smart Album ro find them:
File -> New Smart Album
Date is in the Range -> 1/1/2010 to 31/12/2010

Can I add photos from my Canon to iPhotos

I've been watching the demo of iMove app and I wish to know if it works with any camera or only with Mac devices.

"OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
This has been answered. The sync is one way - computer to ipad. You can e-mail them to yourself.
" Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
This is the design of the product. It will sycn with one computer. Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content. The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
"When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
OK. This is not the case with the ipad. It is not designed as a storage device.

How can I delete photos from my iPhone 4S without deleting from Mac iPhoto at the same time?

My iPhone has more than 12gB of photos & video - some 1200 of them. I have transferred them all to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Now I want to delete about 75% of the photos on my phone while I keep the rest safely on my Mac. When I go to delete the photos a warning comes up to say that I am about to delete my photos from all locations but I cannot afford to lose my memories.

You can't because the actual photos are in the camera roll. The albums only contain links to these photos, not duplicate photos.

I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place. When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad. How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

Can I add photos from camera roll to photostream to sync to iMac?

Trying to think of the easiest way to get some pics from my iPhone 5 to my iMac, and also to get them off my iPhone to free up some iCloud storage space.
Is it possible to add some of my pics to a photostream and then on my iMac get them out of the photostream (will they be full resolution with GPS location data etc?), to copy to my iMac and add them to iPhoto eventually?
Is there a step by step how or any help
Cheers

You said: "... get them off my iPhone to free up some iCloud storage space." I don't understand the connection between your iPhone and iCloud storage space. So I won't address that.
Anyway, assuming your iMac has a current version of iPhoto right now, you could simply plug your iPhone into your iMac, open iPhoto, and import the iPhone's photos from the Camera Roll (which is where I assume you are trying to get the photos from). Then you could use either iPhoto or the iPhone directly to delete the photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
And yes, they will be full resolution with GPS info.

Can't import photos from iphone to iphoto

I have an iphone 5 and so does my wife. We have an iMac with iphoto version 9.5.1. We have imported photos from our phones to iphoto many times without any problems. After we both updated our phones to iOS 8.1 iphoto will not recognize that our phones are connected to the computer. Finder also does not show that our phones are connected. iTunes still opens automatically and sync's with our phones, but I can't get any photos off our phones.
I have read several posts in the community and nothing has worked so far.
I do not see how to find my phone, or any other device, in the preferences in iphoto. iphoto does not automatically open any more when we connect our phones to the computer, but the preferences shows that iphoto should open any time a camera device is connected to the computer.
Any ideas?

Hi ..
You can use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder to import photos from iOS devices to iPhoto.

iOS devices are not recognized by the Finder.

Can't import photos from iPhone into iPhoto

If i try to do a batch import, it says there's a problem downloading an image. If I try to import one image, it says the file is in an recognizable format. It's a jpg.
Any ideas how I can get my photos and videos off my iPhone and why it won't import?

When googling the error number, the second and last result (your post is the first) on http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=946758&page=8 says :
"Nevermind, I've tried using image capture and preview to import but i keep getting "The operation couldn't be completed.(com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error-9912.)"
After doing some digging around i found this old (2006) response from the apple threads:
REFRESH PHONE
Hold down the power button and the home button until the Apple appears on the screen, then let go.
REFRESH SYNC HISTORY
Find iSync under Applications and Open it.
On the top menu click on iSync and choose Preferences.
Under the Advanced Section click on Reset Sync History. (It may appear as nothing happened, but something did in the background, the history was reset)
Go ahead and close iSync and then try importing your photos with iPhoto again
It worked like a charm"
Resetting the Sync history on iSync and soft rebooting the iPhone surprisingly did it for me. I'm not sure it's an universal fix and it's quite cumbersome (I forgot I still had an iSync application on the mac).

Can you use photos from outside of iphoto or aperture?

I now use Lightroom as Aperture is painfully slow so Albums are folders in the Pictures folder. iWeb appears not to let me drag a folder into an Album page. Will I need to fire up Aperture again?

It seems that we're not able to drag folders of photos from the Finder into an Album page in iWeb. However, there's a workaround.
open the Media pane in iWeb and drag a folder of images from either Aperture or iPhoto into the Album page (neither have to be open).
open the album and delete all of the photos.
drag the photos from the folder in the Finder into the photo page in iWeb.
Create a dummy album in Aperture or iPhoto with just one photo to drag from the Media Browser in iWeb.
