How can I view and choose photos before importing from a digital camera?

Hey,
I am using a Canon PowerShot A40 and I want to be able to (after I connect the camera and open iPhoto of course) view the pictures on the camera in iPhoto and choose individual images to import. I have 560 images, but I only want to import 3 (groan) and there seems to be no way to preview the pics before importing. So now I am importing 557 useless pics that I already have in my library just to get 3 more pictures! There has got to be a way to preview! C'mon Apple...
Anyway, someone please help me with this.
Cheers,
Josh

Oh, thanks Dave. I did not think Image Capture had even a useful function. heh.
Well, I used the "coffee" method (actually it was tea) and just deleted what photos I did not need afterward. It worked out, but I will use Image Capture next time.
No offence to Apple, but why the heck has Apple not included such a feature in iPhoto? I mean that is just common sense to include previews before you import God knows what, unless it takes a lot of work to make that happen for iPhoto. Windows makes it simple to preview and view images. O well, I am sure Apple will get it done eventually, but I shouldn't have to wait for iLife '08!
Cheers,
Josh

    Hello Gary 204,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If the iPhone syncs its calendars to iCloud, you can log into www.icloud.com and edit the calendar there.
    You can check this in Settings>iCloud on your device:

  • How can i view and upload photos from an older version of iPhoto which are on an external hard drive to my new iMac?  i currently have copied the application version 9.4.2. on my lacie backup and want to view and upload this to my new iPhoto version 9.5.1

    our old iMac died suddenly, but i had backed up the iPhoto application to a lacie external hard drive.   however, when i try to open it in my new iMac which is installed with version 9.5.1 and is upgraded to maverick, it comes up with “cannot be opened, to open you must upgrade to latest version” and then makes you press the quit button.
    the iPhoto version on the external hard drive is iPhoto 9.4.2 which i upgraded on 29/11/12 onto our old iMac (early 2007 version)
    my new iMac is running on version OSX 10.9.1
    i have looked at buying  iphoto library manager and have emailed them about whether this would work, but any advice would be gratefully received as i cannot be the only person that has had this problem but i cannot find any answers that work.
    thanks

    YOu can rebuild with Library Manager and this does not require a purchase:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    If you "Save" a photo it goes to your Camera Roll in the Photos App.
    If you merely "Copy" a photo it doesn't go anywhere until you "Paste" it somewhere as, for example, into a email or document.
    Well if you want to get technical about it ...

    A MacBook will use Time Machine to make local backups so that when connected to an external drive it will backup a lot faster.
    to disable this, you must use a command under terminal.
    to locate terminal, do a search for it under spotlight (the magnifying glass on the top right corner), should be the first hit.
    once under terminal, type the following text exactly:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    hit enter.
    you will be asked to input your password, if you do not have a password, you will have to create one before performing this command. after entering your password, hit enter again and close terminal.
    in a few minutes the space taken up by time machine should be cleared.

  • How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?...

    I am using IMAP and it works fine. Except "Sent" messages are saving on the server to "Send Messages" however I cannot see it on the list of IMAP folders in Mail. I see other folders, Save, etc. ones I created, just can't make the folder on the server show up in Mail.
    If I go into the "Account Info" window in Mail, it does not show it either. Even though it is on the server and Mail is saving sent messages to it as it should.
    Any ideas? How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?
    Thanks
    Frank

    Yes it is using the sent mailbox but just does not show it. MS Mail on Vista has a "show/hide" IMAP folder screen, I wish Mac Mail has this..would be perfect.
    I was thinking about deleting the account, and adding it, that would reset it I am sure. However I have my mail set to keep a copy locally for off-line viewing (option in preferences under Account) and I get the sense that if I delete the IMAP account and add it, it will download a copy of each piece of mail (for example my inbox) again and I will have two of everything. Does this make sense? Do you think this will happen?

  • How can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it

    how can i view and apply new custom patterns without going to preset manager? i had this facility but have now lost it.  i design patterns but am fairly new to photoshop. i used to be able to click on the drop down menu in patterns in the 'fill' box but cannot now do this.  have i inadvertently clicked on something to turn this facility off?  i now have to go to 'preset manager' and manually move my new design to the first box and click 'done' so that i can use it.

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    After you define a custom pattern it should be added to the bottom of whatever patterns are already loaded.
    For example, if you define a custom pattern and then go to Edit>Fill>Pattern, the newly defined pattern should have been added to the existing loaded patterns.
