Help importing photos to mac

What would be the reason that my photos from iphone sync to my mac but then the option to import
them into iphoto cannot be chosen. This has never happened before. It is not telling me why.
Could it be that there is no space? If so, how can I check that?

Import photos to mac

Trying to figure out how to import photos from iPhone 4S (I'm sure it's the same with 4) to my Mac. Here's what the iPhone user guide says:
Upload photos and videos to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable.
Mac: Select the photos and videos you want, then click the Import or Download button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.
When I hook up the iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes the iPhone shows up in the left column with Music, Books, etc, but no Photos or Camera Roll. So how can I select the photos I want to transfer to iPhoto?? The photos sync page on the right side of iTunes seems to be only from Mac to iPhone since it also does not include Camera Roll.
Thanks in advance for the help.

The only photos that can be imported to your computer are photos in your camera roll. Use iPhoto to do this. The photo sync is one way: Computer to Phone.

How to fix- taking forever to import photos to mac

Why is it taking so much time to import photos into iphoto on my mac?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Best way to import photos onto Mac

Hello,
I am a photography student and regularly import photos and I have just recieved a new Macbook Pro.
What is the best way for me to import them as when I do it via iPhoto it seems very difficult to find the actual picture folder.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I just copy them into a folder in the Pictures section. And if I then import the photos into iPhoto from a folder on the computer does it then make duplicates?
Help please!
Thanks, Andy

What is the best way for me to import them as when I do it via iPhoto it seems very difficult to find the actual picture folder.
Via iPhoto is the easiest way. tWhere he files are stored doesn't matter. (See below)
Should I just copy them into a folder in the Pictures section. And if I then import the photos into iPhoto from a folder on the computer does it then make duplicates?
Yes that workflow would make duplicates.
How to access your photos if you use iPhoto:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To use another editor with iPhoto:
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

Help transferring photos from Mac Book pro (10.8.1) to a Mac Mini (10.5.8

I am trying to transfer/migrate iphotos on a Mac Book Pro (v10.8.1) to a Mac Mini (v10.5.8). Is this possible?
It appears to allow for migration of the mac mini to the mac book pro, but not the other way around. HELP!

Hi, I think you're going to have to copy the actual pics to somewhere on the Mini, or at least point the mini to the folders one by one to Import Library, instead of trying to Import the newer Library.

Trouble importing photos to Mac

When I connected my iPhone to my Mac, I got an error message saying that I could not import some of my photos. It said, "The file is in an unrecognized format." I looked at the file name... it is IMG_0364.JPG. I thought that was what all of my other photos that I imported were

Try use a different cable.

Help importing photos

Just got a new compact digital camera. Took some snaps and I connected it to my mac.
As usual the small white 'untitled' icon appeared on the desktop and iphoto opened also.
And as usual I closed iphoto and dragged the photos I required from the 'untitled' icon.
All was fine and dandy.
Then I decided to install the camera software, but there seemed to be a problem with the disc (very slow, installation .... stalling and grinding to a halt). So I cancelled the installation and ejected the disc.
Next time I connected the camera no 'untitled' white icon appears on the desktop while iphoto still opens and prompts me to import. Is there anyway I can import from 'untitled' again.
Basically I want to be able to import without iphoto.
Incidentally my older camera (which I never installed software for) still shows both the untitled icon and iphoto when it opens.
This is very frustrating,
Hopefully

Yes, a pram zap:
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Hope this will fix your issue, post back if not. Don't forget a restart.

Import photos to mac from canon dslr

I can not transfer my phots from my Canaon Rebel DSLR to my Macbook Pro. I've tried opening Image Capture in Applications but the computer simply does not recognize the device.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Pjae

JPEG or RAW is a setting you make in a camera menu
Yes - it sounds like you may have a USB cable issue
Generally using a card reader is a good idea anyway
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

Elements Organizer Help | Import photos from your camera or card reader

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

Did you try the "create subfolder" option in the Adobe Photo Downloader? If you choose the option to create subfolders using "shot date[mm yy]" I think it would solve the problem you are discribing. And in the case when nothing works, you can always choose the advanced button and manually select the photos you want to import

Connection of camera and importing photos

I seem to be having trouble importing photos .My Mac doent seem to want to recognise my camera(Fuji), which has been set to USB , so I cant import anything. Always worked fine before but since I erased my volume by mistake it doesnt work, Any ideas anyone?Thanks

Thanks for the reply.I only use a printer ,which I connect with Usb, and occasionally connect a camcorder via firewire. Neither have given me problems. I checked that link and my G5 has a serial number beginning with w8544 and was bought in November so would fall outside the mentioned period.Image capture preferences is also set on iPhoto . The only thing I can think of is some time ago I had some problmes downloading an office software( forget the name) which meant that when I clicked on the icon I got the applications alright but my desktop disappeared(all grey no icons) which meant I had to switch the mains off and restart.Stupidly in my frustration I did this 4 times. Anyway someone suggested I redownload the operating system and run a repair. Unfortunately I didnt follow the procedure too well and ended up erasing my volume so everything had to be redownloaded. So far everything has worked ok until this business with iPhoto.
Thanks

After using Photostream, I cannot import photos taken by itouch when photostream is off

Before having photostream, I import photo to mac from ipod using iphoto. But after updated photostream, ipod nolonger apprear in iphoto!
Then all photos that is not uploaded into photostream cannot be imported to mac. For PC it may probably be done in the folders, but for mac, no way.
So do I only have one choice: to send them one by one by email? Thanks.

Hye zhwilla, mabey you should sign out of icloud on the devices selected. then turn back on.
Also something to remember, iPhoto automatically downloads photos to events called photostream dec. 2011, etc. so when you do try to copy photos, iPhoto will say it already has downloaded them. Also make sure itunes is running. I assume you have everything updated.

After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
killall iPhoto
followed by the Return or Enter key
It might take more than one go for it to take.
Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down. Reboot and try iPhoto again.
