Extract photos that have only been imported as thumbnails

I imported a lot of photos on to my ipod before I left UK to go to Aus for the year.
I used the option of NOT importing the full resolution photos. So i have just the thumbnails to browse through.
These thumbnails are all contained within one of the ipods data files (forget the name). Does anyone know if there is a way where i can extract these thubnails? i know they will be small thumbnails but this will be ok.
?   Windows XP Pro  

Thanks Zevoneer I'll have a look at that software.
Bido, yep I regularly go into the ipod hidden folders and copy off photos etc... But my question is if there is such a way to extract the small thumbnails out of the ipods .ithmb data files. This is because when I copied photos to the ipod I did not include the option of copying across the full resolution photos. Therefore it just made small thumbnails of these photos and contains them all in a ithmb file. I need a few of these thumbnails extracted now, i know they will be very small but that will be ok. Maybe some of the above apps will do the trick, i'll have to give them a go. Thanks guys. Jrb

  • Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

    Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • Photos that have not been imported message

    Every time I launch IPhoto a message appears that there are photos that have not yet been imported. I click yes to import and a new message appears that says the photos are unreadable. IPhoto then creates a new album titled "recovered photos" which is empty. How can I stop this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Control-click on the iPhoto Library package/file and select "Show Package Contents" from the resulting menu:
    Click to view full size
    Look for a folder titled "Import" or "Importing" and move it to the Desktop ( NOT "Auto Import"). Do not move or otherwise alter anything else in the library.
    Close up the library and launch iPhoto. That warning should be gone. Look in the "Import" folder and see if the image files there are those you want to keep. If so drag them into the open iPhoto window to import. Otherwise, drag the folder to the Trash.
    Happy Holidays

  • IPhoto wants to import photos that have already been imported

    A couple of days ago I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5 - today was the first time since the upgrade that I've tried to import photos. I have about dozen or so new photos and videos on my iPhone to import, however iPhoto is showing 246 photos to be imported. The other 200+ photos were already imported from the iPhone (and have been in the library for a few years now) so why is iPhoto asking to import them again?? Shouldn't it recognize that it has already imported them?
    I should note that I have over 2,000 photos in my iPhoto library; so not sure why it chose these particular 200+ photos to import again.
    If I have no choice but to import those photos again, is there a way that I can check and get rid of duplicates in iPhoto? Short of manually searching and deleting them one-by-one?
    Thanks!

    I've just found this discussion, I too have the same problem:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3429399
    I have already submitted feedback to apple... Hope for the best..
    Did anyone tried to manually move the newly imported video in the folder of the event where it belongs?
    I am afraid of messing things up.. If it is a problem of "flagging" the file at the filesystem level maybe this could help.. but if the flagging happens at the iPhoto Library level... no hope:(

    Whenever I try to open iPhoto, a message comes up saying that 148 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that have not been imported. It asks me if I want to import them and I say NO but then it places them in a recovered photo folder. I keep deleting the empty recovered photo files but it just keeps asking me every time I go to open iPhoto! I'd love to just get rid of the "found" photos (I can't open them anyway!)
    How do I get rid of them so that I can just open iPhoto straight up without this?
    Linda

    Open your iPhoto Library package with the Finder.
    Click to view full size
    look for a folder titled Import or Importing and move it to the Desktop. Launch iPhoto to see if the message goes away.  If there is no message  check the contents of the Import folder to see if you want to keep any of those image files (usually they have not been imported into iPhoto). If you want to keep them then drag the folder into the open iPhoto window to import.

  • In Iphoto, How can I delete photos on my iphone that have already been imported?

    I've just spent over the hour on the phone with my sister (who has a law degree, I have an engineering degree), and we could not figure out how to delete photos from our iphones that have already been imported into Iphoto.  I thought Apple was the company that made things easier???  This is a nightmare.
    The way it should work:
    - Launch iPhoto
    - Stand on iPhone (Under Devices)
    - Select photo to delete (under Already Imported)
    - Right-Click Delete (or Send to Trash, or Something)
    Obviously we are not thinking like Apple thinks...does anyone know how to do this, or are these programs as crap as they seem and you have to go back to your iphone and select each photo one at a time (all several thousands of them).
    Don't even get me started on how messed up my photo libraries have become now that I have (fully) switch over to Apple.
    By the way, I like my Mac for everything else...but its photo capabilities suck.

    Thanks, I was hoping for something a little more selective that I could do from my computer, but I think this is helpful.
    Maybe the best approach to get this under control is:
    - Import all photos into iphoto
    - Delete all photos per your suggestion
    - Selectivly sync the photos you want put back on your phone
    Thanks again, I didn't know this and is a helpful trick!
    P.S. I still wouldn't mind finding a way to selectively delete files that are on my iphone from my computer.  (In Windows, you can go to My Computer -> Iphone, open the folder and delete what you want).

  • How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How do I delete photos in Iphoto library that have not been imported?

    How did they get there and how do you know that they are there?
    If they were not imported and iPhoto is not aware of them then you can be sure your current backup is up to date and tested, quit iPhoto and drag them to the finder trash - But be very careful because if you trash any items that iPhoto knows about you will corrupt your library
    Before you empty the trash, launch iPhoto again and be sure everything is working correctly
    It is recommended that you never modify the iPhoto library using anything except iPhoto or iPhoto aware programs like iPhoto Library Manager including adding, modifying or deleting items, files or folders within the iPhoto library
    Your current case may be one of the very unusual exceptions to this - if they were put there without iPhoto's knowledge

  • Renaming clips that have already been imported into Event Library...

    Hello all,
    Would anyone know how to change the filenames of clips that after they've been imported into my iMovie Event Library?
    To keep track of my clips, I changed all the video filenames BEFORE importing them, so in Finder, they look like this:
    clip_0001.mov
    clip_0002.mov
    clip_0003.mov
    etc...
    A few dozen videos that I imported a while back have different names, and I'd like to change them to the easier numerical filenames above.
    Problem is...I've already created projects using those clips, and simply changing the filenames in Finder would break those Projects. And I'm unsure if I'd have to reimport the files after I change their names.
    Please help! Thanks!

    As long as the default iPhoto Preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" is checked you can delete photos once they are imported and tested within iPhoto
    You, of course, still need regular backups to avoid loss due to hardware/software/human failure - I use time machine and a daily clone plus other periodic backups

  • I had to refresh my computer; LR was removed. How do I re-install and have it recognize all my files that have already been imported through LR?

    My computer's main files became corrupted and I had to "refresh" the system. It kept my files, but erased all of the programs. I had to even re-install Microsoft Word. So it erased my downloaded Lightroom as well.
    However, all of my files are still on the computer, including the file labeled "Lightroom 5 Catalog" and 2 others like it.
    My question is, how do I go about getting the program BACK onto my computer and having the program recognize that all of the pictures currently in my "Library/Pictures" folder have at one point already been imported through LR? I don't really even know what I'm talking about; I am not super techy. Maybe if I download it again it will already recognize all the files? I just want to move cautiously because I'm dealing with all the pictures of my 4 year old daughter who died last year.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi JimHess,
    Yes, the files are still located in the same drive, the exact same place Lightroom put them (in Pictures in Library).
    When I double-click on the catalog file, it opens up multiple folders with little white "document-looking" blank pages, and when I click on those, it open a dialog box that says "How do you want to open this type of a file (.Ircat)?" with a little box below that says "Look for an app in the store".
    So I don't think my computer knows how to open them...I think I need to re-download Lightroom. I just want to make sure I'm not going to mess up the files.

  • How to import pictures that have already been imported

    I have old pictures on my Iphone that I've already imorted onto my computer, that file was deleted from my computer.  I can't figure out how to get them back onto my computer.  It wont recognize those old pictures any more and I don't want them taking up space on my phone. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Repeat the import.

  • Export multiple photos that have already been edited?

    I did a bunch of editing on a large group of photos but did not export them from RAW to jpegs.  Is there a way to do this without doing them one by one, like a batch export?
    I'm using LR4.
    Thanks.

    Thanks! I have a follow up question...
    Here's what led to my question:
    I was using a trial version of LR4 and edited a wedding I shot.  Somehow, I clicked on "resize" in the export panal and when I exported each photo, they were reduced to a smaller size.  The problem is, my trial ran out before I realized what was happening.  I have LR2, is there a way to import the photos with the edits I made into the LR2? Or will I need to buy LR4 to re-export my work?

  • How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

    LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
    Thanks

    Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.

  • A photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported???

    When i open iphoto i get a message saying "a photo has been found in the iphoto library that has not been imported, would you like to import it?" I have tried what everyone is saying to do, but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents and i've looked all through that, still no import folder. Even though i click no i do not want the photo imported it still is stored on my external hard drive and every so often i have to go delete TONS of photos and when you click on the photo it doesn't even actually show up as anything.

    but when i look under show package contents there is no import folder to move. only a folder that says contents
    You're looking at the iPhoto.app package. Those instructions are for the iPhoto Library package. That's in your Pictures Folder.

    Is there a way I can stop

    No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
    See this link:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

    Photos than came from computer will need to be uncheck on computer then do a sync to delete.
    You can only delete photos from your Camera Roll directly.
