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 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.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

Can I find photos from an entire event that were just loaded but seem to have disappeared?

Can I find photos from an entire event that seem to have disappeared?

Larry,
I have a Mac Book Pro 2.53 GHz Mid 2009
Using OS X lion 10.75
I don't know what version of iphoto....just what was originally installed but I use an external storage drive for my photos and use time machine for back up.
I loaded the photos Friday night- thought they went into an event, deleted photos from my camera (dumb, I know) then in the morning a grey box with event date shows palm tree and sunset image but no photos.

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 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).

How can I import photos from mailbox to iphoto 11

Hello,
my wife has been transferring e-mailed photos into a mail box in apple mail. i'd like to transfer (import) these photos into iphoto 11 but can't find a way to do this. Can anyone suggest a solution.
Thanks!

Perfect! It appears that I will have to do each photo individually. Now i just need to figure out how to get my wife to go through the 600 photos she has placed in the mailbox :-)

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.

Can't delete photos from iPhone using iPhoto.

I connect my iphone to mac, wait until the photos are syncronized, press delete photos and after a short process nothing happenes. If I connect my iphone later it's written that all photos are syncronized, I press delete photos and again nothing happanes. How to solve this problem?

Use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) to do this.
Never let your computer erase data without you first checking that the data is safe. Specifically never use iPhoto (or any other app) to delete the photos from your Camera Card. Disconnect the camera, check the transfer has gone correctly and then use your Camera to Reformat the Card. This has three advantages:
1. You know your data is safe - because you've taken the time to check it.
2. Reformatting the card is much, much faster - takes a couple of seconds
3. Reformatting also refreshes the Directory Structure on the Card, helping prevent issues with the card and prolonging its life.

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!

I can't upload photos from Aperture or IPhoto to an outside website. The Media tab under devices is not even there. How do I upload my photos?

When I try to upload multiple photos to a few online printing websites, the Media tab under devices isn't there. Also, the aperture and iphoto are under photos in the sidebar but I can't access any sub-folders or photos at all. Please help!!

at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
vs
using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

Cant find photo from Mail in iPhoto

From Mail, I selected Save. The photo went into Downloads.
I went to iPhoto but how do I get the photo into iPhoto. Does it appear by default or do I have to do something from Download folder?

IF you saved the photo to the Downloads folder, you now need to add the pic to iPhoto. Drag it to the iPhoto Window, or to the Dock Icon or use the File -> Import command.
On the other hand, if you click and hold on the Save button in the Message window you'll get an option to Save to iPhoto.

Can not import photos from camera to iPhoto

When I connect my camera to import photos, I get a message with a red stop sign that has an exclamation mark in the center saying, "The disk inserted was not readable by this computer". It then asks if I want to initialize, ignore, or eject the disk.
I have a Panasonic DMC-FX33 Lumix camera and it worked fine until I updated my Intel Mac Pro to Snow Leopard and iPhoto 09. It still works fine on my Intel laptop that has OSX 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6 (6.0.6).
Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

That is a bit odd.
_Import all the picture off the camera using the other computer (you can transfer them to the other computer later).
_Using the camera, reformat the media card
_Take a snap shot and test with the new computer again
__If it works there was something off in the formatting of the media card

How can I get photos from imovie into iphoto?

I downloaded the photos onto my desktop and made an imovie with the photos...but at some point I deleted the photos file AND I lost the original photo cd they were on. The photos are in my imovie file, but I need to somehow get them to iphoto (or somewhere) to burn onto a cd. This was I can print out just the photos. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
