Extremely Slow Transfer of Photos to iPhoto

Hi there - I just try to transfer 43 images and 1 movie from my iPhone 4 into iPhoto. It takes about 5 min. per photo. I had this issue some times with earlier versions but could never find out what caused it. Any idea or similar experiences?

Hi,
Have same problem before. It's nothing about cable or port or whatever. I believe it is because the file size.
I tried creating a new iPhoto Library (2) to distinguish with the old archive with 20k+ photos. It works for me this way. Best of luck.

  • My iPhone 4s is super slow to import photos into iPhoto???

    As said in the title my iphone is extremely slow to import photos to iphoto and keeps importing the same photos even though they are already in iPhoto??? Whats going on?? Anyone know a fix to this??

    I would expect nothing less. even importing videos from my standards camera takes a while...thats not the issue here.
    importing 50 Photos can take 10 minutes with the iPhone. Meanwhile the same number of photos from a standard camera would take less than a minute.
    Its either a problem with the iphone and slow transfer through the dock connector, or somethings up with how iPhoto imports from the iPhone.

  • How do I transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung phone GT S5830i ?

    Can anyone please tell me how I can transfer a photo from iPhoto or the Desktop onto my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT S5830i phone ? The phone won't connect to Kies.  I've uninstalled Kies.  I've tried with Bluetooth and USB cable; all to no avail. I'm running Mavericks on a Mac.  Many thanks in anticipation,  Derek.

    You can export the image from iPhoto to the desktop

    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Unfortunately, the rest of your query - i.e. - getting it from the desktop to that phone is one more for a Samsung forum.

  • How to transfer my photos in iPhoto from my Macbook (white 13in) to MacBook Pro (15in)?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - If you have synced photos you will need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. The also do music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • Extremely slow transfer rate from iOmega eGo to iMac

    I am using a brand new 27" iMac and an iOmega eGo 2TB hard drive (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374133,00.asp). The drive has it's own power source and is connected to my computer via USB.
    I'm trying to transfer files from the hard drive to my new iMac and the transfer rate is painfully slow. They are files from my old MacBook which I sold last week.
    When the disc is not mounted, it seems to function normally - it's blue indicator light is consistently on and it sounds right. However, when I mount the disc and begin using it - in this instance to transfer files, it goes extremely slow. The blue light will mostly remain off, then interminnently flash on and onscreen a small amount of data will move.
    Through disk utility I was able to successfully verify and repair the disc, but it's still behaving this way. Can anyone help? SOS!

  • How to transfer modified photo in iPhoto to iPad?

    I transfered photo in iPhoto to iPad via iTune.  After I transfered, I edit some of the photos and sync my iPhoto with iPad again.  However, the modified photo will not transfer to iPad.  On iPad, I still see the photo before I edit.  I noticed that photo that I edited in stored in different folder (modified folder) in iPhoto.  I am using iPhoto 09 ver 8.1.2.
    Can anyone help to advise how could I sync the modified photo to iPad ?
    Regards,

    thanks for taking the trouble to reply. 
    iPhoto library is a package and modified folder is embedded and not accessible by user.  So I could not select it to sync.

  • Transfer ipod photo to iphoto's

    I have a ton of precious pictures (as everyones pictures are),on my ipod, but having had to reboot my macbook as i lost itunes i have lost my library in i photos, not having much luck.
    Forgot to back up first.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer my photos from my ipod back to my iphotos or get them back up off my ipod another way. I've lost my entire summer.

    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:

    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Transfer ipad photos to iphoto

    My friend took 900+ pictures with his camera and transferred them to my iPad using his MacBook Pro.
    I am trying to transfer these pictures to my own iMac but iPhoto does not detect them.
    How can I transfer these pictures?

    If he synced them to your iPad from his MacBook, which he more than likely did, you cannot transfer them into iPhoto by connecting your iPad to your Mac. Synced photos will not transfer to your computer that way. If you had taken the photos yourself and they were in your camera roll that would work, but he imported them into his Mac and then synced them to your iPad.
    He can either provide the photos to you on a Flash drive and you can copy them into iPhoto on your Mac, or you can use a third party app to transfer the photos to your Mac.
    Here is one WiFi photo transfer apps. You can search for more in the App Store.

    Here is an app that will transfer anything from the iPad to your Mac.

    How can I sync Samsung Fascinate/Galaxy S photos with iPhoto on my iMac?
    Thanks

    Hi everyone,
    I switched from HTC Thunderbolt to an iPhone about 3 months ago.  I was told that I would be able to connect my HTC via USB and add my photos to iPhoto -- no dice.  A folder called NoName appears on my desktop, and I can open all my images... the problem is I can't drag them into iPhoto.  Also, as soon as I disconnect my HTC, the files will not open. 
    Please help, as I have photos on my HTC that are irreplaceable. 

  • I can't transfer my photos from iphoto to a folder..

    Turn on PhotoStream on your iPad and in iPhoto on your Mac. They will sync to your Mac.
    iPad - Settings > iCloud > photoStream = on.
