How can I import all photos from iPhoto and delete all the ones currently on my iPad?

I uploaded all of my iPad's photos to iPhoto('08) thinking it would be easier to delete and organize them. Now that I've done that in iPhoto I need help finding out how to delete all the photos from the iPad and have the iPhoto photos imported from iPhoto back to the iPad.

This workflow may do what you want:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library.
2 - connect the iPad to your Mac with the new library open.
3 - import all of the photos from the iPad into the new library.
4 - select the option to delete all of the photos from the iPad.
5 - disconnect the iPad and delete the new library.
6 - launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select your original library.
7 - assemble the photos destined for the iPad so you can easily identify them by album or event which you alread have done.
8 - launch iTunes and connect the iPad to your Mac.
9 - go to the photos section for you iPad and synce those particular albums or Events with the iPad.
That will get those specific iPad photos back into the iPad.

  • How can I sync specific photos from folders instead of syncing the whole folder to my iPad?(1 gen)

    So I recently synced a few folders from my PC to my iPad 1 and there was a few photos I did not want on my iPad, so when I tapped the photo, the trash button wasn't there. I looked up why that was happening and discovered it was because synced photos can't be deleted from the photo library. So I ask my question, how can I sync specific photos from folders instead of the whole folder? from iTunes to my iPad. If there is not a way for me to sync specific photos from folders, how can I delete the photos I don't want from my iPad?

    As King_Penguin has already explained, this isn't possible with the stock Photos app.
    As far as photo syncing is concerned, I also recommend PhotoSync, which is an excellent photo (and video!) synchronization tool, should you want to stick with the stock Photos app on the iPad. Should you want something better (Photos is a pretty limited app without sorting, EXIF displaying etc. capabilities and with HUGE storage usage), you'll need to take a look at third-party apps. I too recommend Photo Manager Pro, it's IMHO the best tool.

  • How can I import selected photos from iPhoto into Premiere Elements on the Mac?

    I run Premiere Elements on a Mac (Lion O/S). I have more than 13,000 photos in iPhoto that I would like to be able to access from Premiere (to include shots relevant to the video I am compiling).  How do I do this?
    I also have Photoshop Elements but not yet installed it since I do not want to replicate all these photos - will consume too much hard drive space.
    I look forward to your advice.
    Thanks

    The way I do this on my iMac : I select the required photos in iPhoto, then I export them on a specific folder I create for the video,
    generally a subpart of the area where I have captured my HDV footage with Premiere Elelements.
    Then, I import these specific pictures in my Premiere Elements project.
    For Photoshop Elements, it has 2 parts : the organizer of your library, which requires to create a copy of your photos, and the modifier
    which you can use as a complement to iPhoto only to modify your pictures with  possibilities given by Photoshop.
    As I have enough space on external hard drive, I use Photoshop and iPhoto to have permanently a back-up copy of my pictures.
    It was my choice related to my configuration.
    Bonne chance.

  • All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

    I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

    Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you  must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
    If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.

  • How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

    How can I download my photos from iphoto to the external hard disk? thanks!

    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk or new Mac:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How can I back up photos from iPhoto using terminal?

    Can I backup my photos from iPhoto using terminal or any other way(to a portable hard drive) as I have turned my laptop on and it has came to a screen giving me the option to back up from time machine, reinstall IOS or clean my drives, but neither are working so I believe I am going to have to erase my whole hard drive and potentially get a new one, but my only problem is that I haven't backed up my iPhoto images before so is there anyway I can do this?

    You are booted from Recovery Drive. Have you tried restarting so you boot normally?

  • HT2481 I have received an Email containing photos. How do I import those photos to Iphoto and then to a CD/DVD

    I have received an Email containing photos. How do I import these photos to Iphoto 8? Also, how to then move them to a CD/DVD?

    First share some information
    what version of iPhoto? What e-mail client? are the photos JPEGs with a RGB color profile?
    The most general answer is to save the photos to a desktop folder and then import them to iPhoto from there - you can right click on the desktop folder in the finder and burn it to disk

  • How can I copy a picture from Iphoto to a text document?  Currently when I drag and drop the picture is truncated.

    hello Apple community.
    How can I copy a picure from Iphoto to a blank text document(not Word, but text doc)? Currently when I do this, the picture is truncated. This is more difficult than using a PC! there has to be a better way to copy pictures or share pictures!
    Thank you,

    Hello,
    thank you for your reply.
    I am using the TextEdit on Mac as I do not have Word. When I paste an Iphoto, the picture is truncated horizontially, so you only see part of the picture.
    Yes, the picture is small enough to fit on the page.

  • How can I import psd photos from Elements into iPhoto?

    I cannot import psd photos into iPhoto without saving them to the desktop, which is a real hassle (hundreds of photos).  Am I doing something incorrectly?  Thanks for any advice.

    I may be preaching to the choir here but this might be of help to you:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 or later the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.
