How can I re-synchronize my photo collection on iPhoto FROM iPad TO iMac?

Due to a config problem I´ve lost all my pictures on my iMac. But I have them all - luckily - on my iPad.
But how can I get the collection back onto my iMac? Synchronizing via iTunes doesn´t work.....

Clyde makes a very important point. Importing photos works ONLY from the camera roll. There are some third-party apps that can import photos from Albums but I have no experience with them. You can easily Google them or search the forums here.
There are other options as well. If you follow the steps above, then clear out the camera roll, you can them go back to your Albums, tap Select, tap each image then tap the Share icon (box with an up arrow). One of the options is to save to the camera roll. You can then go through the whole process again to import them. Repeat for each Album.

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.

  • How can I delete a contact and an empty group from iPad 2?

    I downloaded the iPad 2 User's Guide, but its instructions for deleting a contact do not work. I cannot scroll down and find a Delete button to click. Also, there is an untitled group on my iPad 2 (which is not on the iMac to which I sync the iPad 2). How can I deleted this annoying untitled group? The user's guide has nothing about groups in its index or under Contacts.

    Oh dear. I Reset the iPad, and it made me set it up again, like I did when I first got it. When I got to the choice of "Set Up as New iPad" or "Restore from iTunes Backup," I chose "Restore from iTunes Backup." Then I tried to sync it with iTunes. iTunes gave me no error message, but the iPad is stuck on the screen that says, "Connect to iTunes," even though it IS connected to iTunes. Is this because I cannot connect to a wifi zone? I'm hardly ever in a wifi zone. I don't have access to one right now. Does this mean I can't use my iPad until I find a free wifi zone to connect to?

  • How can I organize all my photo's in Iphoto

    I would love if someone could tell me how I can create less folders in Iphoto to organize my photos. Every time I import something new iphoto puts it into a new folder, from the past 3 years I have way too many folders and would like to organize them in a better way, any suggestions? thank you

    ewarner:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As PhillyPhan warned doing anything within the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder is a big NO-NO.
    But if, within iPhoto, you drag and drop thumbnail files from one roll to another that will move those files in the Finder automatically and you can consolidate files into fewer, more meaningful rolls and folders. BUT, it has to be done from within the iPhoto application window only.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How can i store just my photos in iCloud using my iPad

    i would like to take my photos off my iPad air and store them in iCloud. is there a way to do that similar to drop box. Also, if i choose iCloud will i be able to format my pictures in folders like i can do with iPhoto?

    On Monday there will be when iOS 8.1 is released then ... with iCloud Photo Library. But it is still in beta, so I would still do an alternate backup until it's out of beta.

  • How can I delete pre-installed Facebook an Twitter app from iPad 2

    I don't need this sh*t and I don't want it to waste memory on my iPad 2.

    You can't. You can delete your account from existing on your device. Delete facebook or twitter account info from your device...and it won't delete your account as a whole. But the shortcut is hard wired and will always be there.

  • Why do downloaded photos to Mac IPhoto from IPad and IPhone omit some photos?

    Photos sent to I-Mac I-Photo from I-Phone and I-Pad (via the Cloud) don't all come through.  A number of them don't make transition.
    Also, when downloading from the cloud, the photos arrive in I-Photo as though sent at different times.  Clicking on PHOTOS in the source column will show most (but not all) of the downloaded photos with the same date and time but broken up into different lists.  It is though the cloud download hesitates a few moments, and when transmission resumes, I-Photo starts a new Photos list.

  • How can I mix up the photos in a file?

    I am doing a slide show for my child's teacher.  I am using about 400 photos from 6 different events. How can I mix up the photos so the slide show is in a random order rather than chronological? 

    So, you're exporting photos from Lightroom, then rolling them into a slideshow using a different program, and that program does not support randomization - did I get that right?
    If so, then indeed: it's as Paige said: no way to export in random order without a plugin or script or something.
    Here's one possibility: put them in a collection, then shuffle the collection using the "Shuffle Photos In Collection" script available here:
    http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/MiscLrPlugins/#MiscScripts
    (they're free scripts I wrote - kinda like plugins, but simpler..).
    Then export all photos in the collection with a sequence number prefix so they're in proper order (alphabetically) on disk - then your slideshow program will have them in random order - makes sense? (try it before answering ).

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

    When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album?  When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

    iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order.  So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded

    I've about had it up to here with this new Photos scheme. I reorganised my Aperture libraries on both my iMac and MBA in preparation for this, delayed turning Photos on for a couple of days until I thought everything was ready based upon the limited advice that was out there, and then got stuck in an endless loop of "uploading" and "preparing" every time I opened Photos. There are 19,975 images in my Aperture library on the iMac. I was stuck at Uploading at anywhere between that number and 19,000 with no progress after hours of waiting. I tried all the tricks mentioned here including re booting, restarting the app, repairing/rebuilding the database, killing the "cloudd" process, etc.today Today when I restarted Photos, it now said I had 23,775 images to upload- 4000
    more than I have-and of course it got stuck there, like it has for the last week.
    I copied the previous Aperture library (pre Photos migration)back to my iMac and opened it in Aperture. Thankfully, all the photos I had taken on my iPhone this week during this Photos clusterphuck transition were in the Aperture Stream so I didn't lose any of those. I'm willing to give this whole thing one more shot. So  i need some advice. How can I start anew with Photos and clear the (minimal) stuff it has uploaded (about 6000 of 19,000 images in the last 7 days) ? If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?

    It is hard to say from your post, why the migration did not succeed in your case.
    by "stuck on upload" do you mean, you opened the Aperture library in Photos, and Photos converted it to a Photo Library, and then the upload to iCloud Photo Library did hang?  Or did already the upgrade to the Photo Library fail?
    If you want the Aperture library to upload to iCloud Photo Library, it needs to be on a disk formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and the original image files must not be referenced. Referenced originals will not upload.
    Also, the upload may hang, if you do not have enough free iCloud storage, orr if one of the videos or photos in your library is in an unsupported format or corrupted.
    To start over, try to repair and rebuild the Aperture library before opening it in Photos. Try all Aperture Library First Aid options - starting with repairing the permissions.  (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)
    If I simply delete the Photos.photolibrary file will that do the trick and lt me start a new fresh library using?
    You will have to delete the photos that are already in icloud too; otherwise you are risking duplicates.
    Can you launch Photos at all?  If yes, delete all photos in Photos and empty the Recently Deleted album. Wait for the deletion to sync to iCloud. Then delete the Photos.photolibrary.

  • I want to get my photos from icloud,,,, i had almost 3 gb of photos backed up on icloud,,, how can i transfer all those photos to my new phone,, i tried but i only got 90 photos. those are the recent one. i had almost 1000 photos in icloud back up?plz hlp

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is

    I have forgotten my password and have not backed my iphone up how can i get to my photos.

    If you have synced your phone with a computer connect to that computer and you can back it up without the passcode. If you have not synced to a computer there is no way to recover data without the passcode.
