Can I choose what to import from my camera?

I was just wondering if there was a way to pick and choose specific photos from a digital camera to import to iPhoto.
It seems like an all I can do is either import EVERYTHING on my camera at once, or nothing at all.
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

There is a backdoor to this situation: instead of importing via iPhoto, use your camera's files.
In other words, when iPhoto asks if you want to import the content of your camera, reply 'no'.
Your camera must show an icon on the desktop while it is connected. Select that icon and start burrowing within the files until you find the pictures you want to import. You can slide those pictures first on the desktop, then in iPhoto and voilà!
Alternatively, you can always use the 'Import' command in your File menu. It will ask you where to fetch the pictures. Now you know the path to get to them.
Hope the trick works well.

  • HT4889 Can I choose what to migrate from one mac to another mac?

    Can I choose what to migrate from one mac (Powrebook G4) to another mac (New iMac)?  I do not want everything to be migrated, as some programs are not compatible with Mountain Lion or an intelIntel mac!
    As it is a brand New iMac I would also like to keep it clean of unnecessary files that have become  imbedded in the Powerbook over its time.Therfore it would be nice if I can pick and choose what is to be transferd. If you can give me a heads up on if and how it would be appreciated!!!
    Thanks

    Thanks for your input!… I have now come across an Article from Apple

    Controlling what is migrated
    With Migration Assistant you control the data that is migrated from another Macintosh computer. By clicking the triangle next to a user's name, you can select which User Accounts to migrate and choose which folders to migrate. You can also choose whether to migrate Applications, Network and Computer settings, or Volumes. Migrating only what you need can reduce the time it takes to complete your migration.

  • How can I delete photos when importing from iPhone 4

    I'm using Aperture 3.13 on Mac OS X 10.7.1.  When I import photos from my iPhone 4 I am never asked to delete files from the camera roll.
    What am I doing wrong?  How can I have Aperture delete photos from the camera roll once they are imported?

    Aperture won't delete the photos from your iPhone. Most users have settled on using Image Capture ater importing into Aperture to delete the photos from the iPhone.

  • Updated to itunes10,and can't play my songs imported from cd's

    I updated to Itunes 10, and now I can't play my music imported from cd;s. It's saying files can't be found,but the songs are still listed on itunes.What can I do to locate my songs????

    Aloha,
    Just a suggestion since I've had a similar problem which has taken me weeks to fix! What happened was the iTunes library files got trashed somehow, but the music was still there! Use Windows Explorer ( run explorer.exe ) and look at My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\ and see whether your music is still there or not. If it is, you're going to have to reimport each album from within iTunes by clicking on File, Import Library, which will bring up a window...browse to the iTunes Music Folder and click on each album...a real pain, but it works! This may leave you with a lot of duplicate songs in your music library which will have " ! " exclamation marks next to them ...they have no links...which you'll have to delete manually ( just the ones with the ! next to them ).
    It's important that you back up the two files, iTunes Music Library.xml and Itunes Library.itl every day!!! ( and find some easy way to do it...I not only use an auto backup, I actually copy and paste them into a 'saved' folder. Without them, your iTunes music is ..um..useless!
    Hope this helped.

    How do i find out what was imported from a dump file?

    another way would be to just list the contents of the dump file

  • I can't add a title to a movie imported from my camera! how come?

    This is really frustrating because I have one clip (an entirely different one than the one I want to add a title to) that is "accepting" a title. but the one I imported from my camera (a testimonial from a client) just wont work. nothing happens when I drag and try to drop a title. with the other one, it turns blue and it's clear I can drop a title. I was able to edit my video and remove some clips.
    this has happened before. i need to understand why it happens so 1. i can avoid it in the future and 2. stop wasting so much time messing around with this critcal but SMALL piece.
    please help!
    Fareen

    ill try to help...
    forgive me i'm no tech. much like pictures cant be edited retitled etc, once uploaded from camera roll. (they can be in camera roll) I think you can do it on the computer after the fact.
    as for where to find the video that depends on the computer. I dont know on a mac but windows based you find the file in your library right click and select rename.
    hope that helps

  • How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

    How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

    Are all images unreadable? What is the exact error message you are getting?
    If only a few images are unreadable, try to import not all photos at once, but in smaller batches, until you know, which photo it is that cannot be read. Import all photos that can be read and reformat your card in the camera to remove the unreadable files.
    But if all photos are unreadable, try, if Image Capture can read your card.
    Is it a new camera? Have you been able to import from that camera before?

  • Import from a camera that contains mts files

    what is the required file structure for FCE to import from a camera that contains mts files

    The file structure is provided/created automatically by the camera....
    So if you still have the original structure, then you should be fine, but you may need to install software for log and transfer from the camera manufacturer...
    If you just have the individual mts file, you are SOL as far as log and transfer goes. In that case you need to purchase ClipWrap2 to convert to Pro Res....
    Not sure how this all works with FC Express though...

  • Importing from DVD CAM

    Hi, I just installed Adobe Premiere Pro but I don't know how to import my videos from my DVD CAM. Could anyone tell me how to import from DVD CAM?
    Thank you

    Was just given 2 DVD cam discs containing footage that was shot at a concert I am editing. On reviewing the discs, I noticed that each song is assigned to a separate chapter on the DVD.   I'd really like to use this footage as it provides additional camera angles I didn't cover.  I am going to use my old Ulead Video Studio 8 program to convert the DVD files to mpg's for editing in Pr. (I will also check out the software Jeff mentioned).  I'm trying to convert each chapter on the DVD to an mpeg2 file so the files size is manageable.
    The footage I shot is mini DV, and I plan on mixing the two sources.    What do I need to look out for as far as the "conversions/extra steps" you mentioned?
    Thanks.

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • How do I import from a camera with QT PRO??

    I have QT Pro 7 and a Sony DCR-TRV950 connected through firewire, but I don't see anything in the menu that would allow me to import from the camera. QT's help says it's under FILE, but it isn't. What gives??

    How weird. I swear that option wasn't there yesterday. Must have updated or something since then. Thanks.
