Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

Can I load photos stored on a pc backup hardrive onto my Mac IPhoto?

You can indeed.  Simply drag the folder containing the images (or the images themselves) from the hard drive to the iPhoto icon in the dock (same one you click on to open iPhoto.  This will cause iPhoto to start importing whatever you drag in.
Two suggestions:
Have a backup of your current library before you do the import just in case iPhoto encounters a corrupt file during import which might damage your existing library of images:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
Import the images in small batches if there are many of them.  That way if there is an error with one of the images during import you can easily identify where the bad image is coming from.
Cheers.

    Can I load photo's from my IPad back onto my SD card through the Camera Connection Kit?

    No, it only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app on the iPad, not from the iPad. You can copy photos that you've copied to the iPad via the kit to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

  • How can i load photos from iphoto onto camera

    Hi,
    for some reason I can not load photos from iphoto back onto my canon camera anymore...
    situation: canon camera is connected to mac book pro. I have imported photos from the camera into iPhotos.
    unfortunately deleted them from the camera.
    now i would like to transfer them back onto the camera.
    It does not let me drag and drop the photos from iphoto to the camera.
    and I can not find a way to more the photos back.
    can anyone help?
    Thanks.
    k.

    The folks in the iPhoto community forum wait for questions like this. In any case from iPhoto select your photos. Then select export. Navigate to your USB sick and that's it.

  • Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?

    Can I load photos from iMac onto iPad2 model A1395?  The model A1395 is described as "wi-fi only" and has a 30 pin connector for charging.
    [By contrast, this is NOT the iPad2 model A1396, which is described as "Wi-Fi/GMS/GPS AT&T" or the Model A1397, which is described as "Wi-Fi/CDMA/GPS Verizon". Nor is it the model A1337, described as "Wi-Fi/3G/GPS (Original)".]
    Wi-Fi only seems to me to have an ominous ring to it.  I am synching with my iPhone through the iCloud, if that is of any use.
    In addition, I should note that the photo files I want to look at in the iPad are large files, a little over 100 MB in JPEG format.  The desire is to display the whole image (these are archival photos of heirloom quilts) and then be able to focus in on specific details (by enlrging them so that the stitching and other details can be seen).  I mention this because I tthink there may be some 30 MB limit on the size of a file that the iPAD can handle.  Would I be able to examine a larger file (but perhaps npot as large as 100 MB) if I had 64 MB memory in the iPad?

    WiFi only refers to the fact that the iPad connects to the Internet via WiFi because it does not have cellular capability. That has nothing to do with the ability to put photos on the device.
    Sync the photos from the Mac via iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
    Select the folder from which your photos are located in the Sync Photos From Heading. If you use iPhoto - select that or navigate to the specific photos folder on the Mac.
    If you use iPhoto, select all of the albums, or events that you want to sync. If you use another photos folder, you can select one level of sub folders within that main folder.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    Having 64GB of storage also has nothing to do with the ability to view the photos on the iPad since that refers to storage capacity. However, the larger the storage capacity, the more photos the iPad will be able to hold.
    I know of no limit on the size that a photo needs to be in order to be viewable on the iPad.
    If you use iCloud, you can sync photos that you shoot on the iPd and iPhone across devices via Photo Stream, but it just be turned on for this to work. Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream on. Any photos that you take on one device after photo stream is turned on, will sync to the other device.

  • Can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac

    can I watch movies stored on tc through wi-fi on my mac?

    Streaming over wireless.. Hmmm if I say it works well and it doesn't I will get the blame.. if I say it doesn't work and he tries it and finds out it does.. he will think I'm a dupe or a dope..
    There is no single right answer. On paper yes, wireless can do it.. in practice.. it depends on a huge number of variables. My experience.. and not with this equipment.. is that wireless can happily stream a show for an hour.. and then suddenly start to judder and flutter and pause and cause angst and misery. I don't trust it. Try it and see.. it might work good for you. It might work sometimes.. it might not work at all. Or it could just be snail like slow. Use the experimental method.. suck and see.
    On more general note.. what files are you going to play from the TC.. I use WD Live as it plays everything.. Apple make the ATV to link to itunes.

  • Can't load photo dvd

    Hi--having trouble with the DVDs of my daughter's wedding. I can't get my new MacBook Pro to recognize the DVD as having any content. When I load one, it spins for a few minutes and then just comes back out. I can still load on my old MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and my old PC. I'm wondering in there's something wrong with my disk drive or if there's something about Mountain Lion that won't read the disk. They are just jpgs. There's no software on the DVDs--just the photo files. My DVD drive works fine playing DVD movies.
    Thanks!

    Sounds like the optical drive. Have you tried other DVD's?

  • Can't load photo book after crash

    Hello, after spending 2+ hours creating a photo book, my mac suddenly crashed, I think due to the high temperature of the computer. The iPhoto application was still running when the computer shut down. After rebooting, I can't load my photo book anymore. The application says "Loading Book", but it stays like this forever.
    Is it possible to recover, at least partially, the work that I was doing? Is there an actual "photo book" file somewhere in the computer?
    Thank you... I'm quite frustrated right now.

    In the future you could do what I do: create a new library for each book I make. I assemble the photos in my primary library into an album and move that album to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. That makes for a smaller library which can be easier to backup and archive for use and ordering additional copies at a later date: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Use/Editing/Ordering at a Later Date.

  • How can I load photos on a new iPad for a customer?

    Now this is something that I've done before. But iOS has gone through some changes since then, and now I can't remember what to do.
    Basically, I have a new iPad which was purchased for a customer. I need to load some photos on the iPad for the customer, then give to to them to do whatever they're going to do with it. Trouble is, I seem to remember being able to do this through iPhoto in the past, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Now it seems you have to go through iTunes, which means setting it up with my iTunes account, which I don't want to do.
    So, my question is, what is the best way to load these photos onto the iPad so that when the client sets things up they won't lose the images. Can I just set things up as usual, then manually sign out of my iTunes account on the iPad?

    I'd really suggest you not try to do this. An iPad can only be synched to a single computer, so if you sync the iPhotos on your system (and synching has always been done through iTunes), when your customer takes the iPad to his/her own computer and syncs, it will erase the content (i.e. photos) you put on the iPad.
    There may be workarounds, but I'd strongly suggest you just let the customer sync the photos him/herself. That's going to be a lot less headache.
    Regards.

  • I just discovered that I can't load photos and music to my iPhone.

    I have loaded a bunch of photos of my recent trip to my new iPhone only to find out that I can't load music to the phone without erasing the photos. Is there a workaround  to this?

    I loaded the photos through iTunes from iPhoto, the folder is on my computer in iPhotos. And still checked in iTunes.  Here is the exact message I get when I click on "Synch Music":
    Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing content on the iPhone “Arthur Fenster’s iPhone” will be removed and replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library.
    Maybe I am misinterpreting but it sounds like "existing content" means the photos, which can be put back on but then I suspect the music will be replaced.

  • Can't load photos into iphoto 6

    Have many hundreds of small Sony Mavica cd-r discs that will not import into iphoto and cannot be read by Preview. Disc is read by external Qfire cdrw drive and files are displayed on desktop but each time I try to open a .jpg photo file it states:"Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt of a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." These discs work fine in a Sony Vaio but get the same results in both my new Imac and and older G5 with internal DVD drive. This same G5 connected to the Qfire drive operating on OS9.4 worked fine until I updated it to OS X 10. Any ideas as to why the discs won't open on the new IMac w/ OS X 10.4.9?

    Massbody:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As I remember from posts a while ago those discs and formats are not compatible with the Mac. Do a search fror Sony Mavica here in the Mac forums and see what you find. I don't remember if any solution was found or discussed.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How can I recover photos from old iphone icloud backup to new one?

    Hello, I had an iPhone 4 which I lost and inside there were some great photos that I want now to recover. In the meanwhile I bought an iPhone5S and I just realized that inside the iCloud backup menu is saying that there is a backup of 3GB of my old iPhone. How can I see if in that backup the photos are there? I have connected my iPhoto App to iCloud but it only finds photos from my new iPhone and not the old one...
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi, Tiago, maybe you can get help from data recovery software. Now things get easy now.
    As far as I know, there are three ways to recover deleted contacts and photos from iPhone 5 with iPhone Data Recovery.
    Way 1: Recover deleted photos from iPhone directly
    Way 2: Using iTunes Backup to recover deleted photos
    Way 3: Using iCloud Backup to recover deleted photos
    You can refer the way 3 of how to recover deleted photos from iPhone to recover photos from  old iPhone iCloud backup.
    Good luck to you.

  • How can delete my photos on my iPhone once there downloaded onto my laptop

    ?

    You can delete the photos from the iPhone directly after import (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)- iPhoto on your Mac or Aperture will prompt you, if you want to delete the imported photos from the device. If you missed that opportunity, delete the photos on the iPhone by opening the Camera Roll and tapping the trash icon.
