Can't import photos to library, don't even have photos folder.

I even have tried going to "file," and creating a new library folder, but it won't even let me import them. How do i get a photo folder in my library???

As Meg noted, you need to select the Photos tab.
But to see this, you need to select the iPod first, then select the Photos stab.
If you do not have an iPod, you will not see the photos tab (because you do not import photos into iTunes.

  • 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.

  • How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?

    How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library. 
    2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto. 
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate. 
    5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
    7  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.  

  • How can i import photos from iphoto 9.2.3 to 9.6

    I am migrating from a 2009 ibook to a Macbook pro 13.3 retina. How can  can I import photos from iPhoto 9.2.3 library to  the 9.6 iPhoto.
    I am running 10.6.8 snow leopard on the ibook which has 4Gb of memory.
    I tried but it just loaded icons to the 9.6 library.
    I am reluctant to go to Yosimite on the ibook and it seems this would not solve it anyway.

    You don't import one library to another.  Just copy the library from the iBook to the Pictures folder on shout new MacBook Pro. If you have another library already on the MBP rename it so you don't overwrite it with the old library.
    Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the newly copied library and let iPhoto convert it to the new version.
    Do you have photos in the library on the new MacBook Pro that you want to combine with the older library?

  • Can't import photos now

    My son received a new camera for Christmas. After successfully importing photos from his camera (an HP), I can no longer import photos from my camera (Cannon Powershot A85) that previously worked fine. When I click the import button it does not recognize the camera. Yesterday I was able to turn the camera on, when plugged into the computer, and trigger Image Capture, but today I cannot even make Image Capture work. HP software was loaded onto my computer so I could access the users manual, but I have since deleted the software. I also tried rebuilding my iPhoto library and was successful, but I am still unable to import photos from my camera (and can still import photos from my son't camera). Any suggestions?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   iPhoto 4.0.3

    I have the same problem. I use a Fujifilm F30 and a Canon Powershot A530. Both were recogniced bij iPhoto and I could import. Suddenly it didn't work anymore. It isn't even recogniced in the finder. Even a different user account can't see the cameras. If I try to import the SD card from the sony through a card reader I have no problems. But sinds I don't have a cardreader for the XD card I need this to work. If I switch on the option to automatically start iPhoto when the camera is connected, iPhoto does start but can't see the camera. Another mac mini I tried had no problems with the camera's and my ipod doesn't have either (I use the camera connector) Does anyone know what is going on? I am running out of options.

  • How can I import my Aperture Library in iPhoto ?

    Hi guys,
    I use Aperture 3 since 2 years but I would like to go back to iPhoto ('11) because I don't need all the options in Aperture...
    I know that I can easily import photos from the Aperture library to iPhoto but the "normal" method lose all the faces...
    Do you fnow an other solution to keep all datas in iPhoto (photos, faces and places) ?
    Thaks a lot, Ju

    Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
    The only communication between the two is as follows:
    Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
    Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
    That's it.
    So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
    iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
    If you want to revert to iPhoto:
    1. Export all your Masters
    2. Export all your Versions
    You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
    Import them into iPhoto. Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates.

  • How can I import photos from photo stream to windows photo gallery? These photos are not on the camera roll on my iPad but are from another iPad on the same iCloud account.

    I work at a Learning Center that has 12 iPads on the same iTunes and iCloud account.  Each classroom uses an iPad assigned to their room to take photos.  Each of these photos then shows up in the Photo Stream in all 11 of the other iPads.  I have no trouble importing photos that are in the Camera Roll of any individual iPad, but I have not been able to import photos from the Photo Stream if the picture was not taken on the specific iPad I am using.  It is not feasible for me to collect all 12 iPads everyday to import everyones photos, so how can I use one "master" iPad that will let me import photos from the Photo Stream since it has all the photos that everyone has taken? 

    You downloaded an iCloud backup to your PC?  I assume you mean you downloaded your photo stream to your PC.  What you may not know is that photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are deleted from photo stream but not from any device that already has them (such as your phone).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you only had access to photos from the last 30 days since the others are no longer there, even though they remain on your phone.
    To transfer these to your computer at this point you have two options:
    Save them to the camera roll on your phone (by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  (You can only import photos to your computer from the Camera Roll album.)  Then import them to your computer as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083; or
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which can wirelessly transfer photos from any album between your devices/computers, including the my photo stream album.
    In the future, always import your photos from your camera roll to your computer via USB before deleting them.  Don't rely on photo stream or your iCloud backup to save your photos.

  • Can't import pics to library

    can't import pics to library from computer.is my 80g classic ipod compatible in all ways with windows vista home premium?

    Hmm, if you're trying to drag & drop photos onto iTunes you won't get anywhere. iTunes doesn't have a slideshow area. If you'd like to put some of your photos on your iPod take a look at this support article:-

  • I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says  iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.

    I can not import photos into lightroom 4.4  Had no problem before this time.  I have camera raw7.4 and use a NikonD7100.  I have a Mac using 10.6.8.  I can see the images and selected for import in Lightroom, but after I check "import" I get a message that Lightroom could not read the files.  This happens with both raw and jpeg files.  Thanks for a repl

    thanks for the reply. would you please tell me how to check for the folder to have write permission.  I have done the same settings as before but this time does not transfer.  It says can not read files with a code "298".  I can see the thumbnails on the screen prior to trying to import the photos, also can see them with the card in the camera and using the view mode.  I have up to date camera raw 7.4 for my Nikon D7100 and the settings allow for 7.1 and above

    As DJ said, this could be your problem.  If you still have the photos on the card transfer them WITHOUT using Nikon Transfer (then I would delete Nikon Transfer so I wouldn't use it again).  If you don't have the originals than this may help.

  • Can't import photos since updating to 10.10.3

    Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3 I can't import photos on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013).
    It just stops in the middle of the import of the first photo and pops up an error.
    "Import error (-9912)."
    Note: The same camera and the same pictures imports perfectly on my not-yet-updated Macbook Air.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • I can't import photos from an external hard drive to aperture

    . Nothing shows up after I select the hard drive in aperture. I can however import photos to iPhoto with this same hard drive. Why is this happening. I have been importing from this hard drive to aperture for a long time now and only had this issue today. I have restarted computer, unplugged harddrive. Any thoughts?

    Don't touch that one !
    I was hoping that in addition to that there should be another device listed, namely the USB External HD you've got plugged into the USB port. It should show up something like this:

    The "Get Photos" selection has disappeared from my Elements 9 screen. How can I import photos from my camera to my computer?

    Yes, the entire top bar disappeared. I no longer see the place to click to
    initiate the import, and I don't see the place to select the camera from
    which to import or the place where I used to select a file or create a new
    file in which to save the pictures when they are imported. I clicked
    Organize when I entered the program, but everything looks slightly
    different. What can I do. I certainly don't want to jeopardize over 3,000
