How can I select the photo to display in Loupe / edit in Develop?

Hi, I upgraded from Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5.
(I'm now running Lightroom 5.4 on Windows 7 64bit)
I'm confused about the way LR handles photo selection.
In LR 3: No matter where I selected a photo - i.e. clicked on it (Loupe, Grid, Filmstrip), LR recognized this as the "current" photo and when I switched modes (Library <-> Develop), I was always working with this one photo.
This behavior seems to be gone in Lightroom 5.
* selecting a photo (left click) in Filmstrip only changes the selected photo when in Develop, nothing happens in Library (except that the preview changes in the Navigator)
* double clicking on a photo in Filmstrip has no effect either
* in Library mode the only way to select a photo to display in Loupe seems to be to click on it in the Grid view (plus the arrow keys to navigate)
* this means there are 2 independent "currently selected" photos
Why can't I use the Filmstrip to select the currently displayed photo e.g. in Loupe view?
Can this behavior be changed?
Having these 2 different independent "selections" is confusing. Is this a bug or an intended change of behavior?
I'm pretty sure this worked back in Lightroom 3.

OK, today I ran LR5 again and now everything is back to normal :-)
Looks like some weird glitch.
I'll write again if it comes back and/or I'll be able to reproduce it.

How can I use the photos from iphoto to display in contacts?

Contacts has a space for a photo. At one time I knew how to populate this space with photos from iPhoto. Currently my choices are to use an icon or take a pic with the camera.
How can I add the photos from iPhoto to the choices for populating the "Contacts" image space for individual cards?

tap all the photos you want to delete.

I have so many photos on my Mac I only have 1G of memory left. How can I move the photos to the external hard drive that is plugged into my iMac.

1GB? It's a miracle your Mac is running at all!
This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
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 get the photos on my pc onto my Macbook without emailing each one individually to myself?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Copy them from your PC to a flash drive or an external drive, then open iPhoto and select Import to Library.
Depending on your settings, iPhoto might open automatically and ask if you want to import them when the device (camera or flash drive or external drive) containing the images is connected.
At the end of the import, iPhoto will ask if you want to delete or keep the photos on the other device. Keep until you're absolutely certain all images are imported correctly and you've viewed them in iPhoto. It's always nice to have a backup.

Clodo9, thanks for your response, but a "thunderbolt", or "mini-display" port is different from a lightning port. Old Toad found a solution:

How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

I am making a book in Aperture 3. I want to change some of the pages that I have put together, and want to remove some of the photos from some of the pages, to put them on another page. How can I remove the photos without deleting them from the album?

As a follow-up, I have found that clicking on the photo in the book also highlights the photo on the strip below. So, if you then hit delete, you will delete the photo from both the book page and the album (which is the book, the way I have it set up). If you only want to delete it from the book page, you then have to un-click the photo on the strip below, or both will be deleted. This seems unwieldy. I deleted 6 photos from a page and found all of them gone from the album. The only way that I can see to keep them in the album is to then unselect them from the bottom strip after selecting them fro the page. This seems to call for an extra step.

how can i delete the photo library in my iphone 4 with ios6

go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer

How can i delete the photos in "Photo Library"

How can i delete the photos in "Photo Library"?

You don't. The Photo Library contains all the photos synced to your phone. The albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which reside in your photo library, they are not duplicated. If you remove photos from your various albums/folders, or the albums/folders themselves, they will be removed from your Photo Library.

How can I delete the photos or files in my iCloud storage that is no longer needed?

How can I delete the photos or files in my icloud storage that is no longer needed?

Explain how it didn't work and what you are trying to delete. Since icloud doesn't store photos except for those in a backup (then delete the backup); photos in photo stream do not count towards your storage limit.

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
Thanks.

I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted. But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
Have you looked at Capture One? It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

You may need to set the slider at the upper-right corner of the Control window to something other than the extreme left-most position:
