How do I add a picture from my hard drive to a contact in OSX 10

Seriously, a friend sends me a photo over iMessage, clicking on the photo doesn't give me any viable options to save the photo, so then I copy it and paste it to the desktop (because nobody does that any more and it's not worth a shortcut...)
Then I go to edit my friends contact picture in the contacts app, and the options I get for picking a photo are:
Defaults
My Photo Stream
Faces (you need to ID faces in iPhoto)
Camera
Linked
They are soooooo leaving behind traditional stuff in their new OS.

for the Points.

How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.

I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape. I thought it would be better to take it off if I could

There's Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant. The cleanest way to do it is Setup Assistant, but you only get that option once when you fire up a fresh install of OSX. If you're past that, you could reinstall OSX by booting with Command-R, or you could use Migration Assistant.

How do i put the song from the hard drive back in the new itunes library?

I had a laptop with music in the itunes library. I put the music from there in a hard drive. I bought a new laptop. How do i put the songs from the hard drive back into the itunes library on my new laptop.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive? Will my machine run faster?

If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.
Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there. If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

How do I put my photos from a hard drive to my mac using different versions of Iphoto? It is saying I can't because of the updated version.

Hello,
I am trying to move photos from my hard drive to my mac. Mac is using an updated version of Iphoto and is denying the transfer.
How do I get around this? Do I download the order version? or can I not get my photos? If anyone can help please do.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Thanks Carol

I copied my photos onto my hard drive from my mac about 3 months ago. I just plugged my hard drive in to put my pictures back onto my mac but it is giving me a message when trying to open up the photos from the hard drive that states
Like I said we need to know exactly what you did
THere are lots of totally different ways to "copy your photos" onto a hard drive
Exactly how did you do that? The correct way to move an iPhoot library is to verify that the hard drive is formattted Mac OS extended (journaled) and then to drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to it - reverse to bring it back - just drag it from the EHD to the pictures folder (default location) on your computer
Why are you doing this?
you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database - depending on what has been going on this might resolve things

How to transfer my ITunes library from External Hard Drive to Mac Book Pro

I recently had an issue with my Mac Book(OS X Yosemite) Had to take it to the store and they fixed it (replaced graphics mother board or something like that) Before that I backed up the whole laptop on an external hard drive. When I connect the external hard drive I can open all my files, not sure how to transfer it, I see the External hard drive and can drag it but where do i drag it because on my Mac Book I can't find Music. Should I drag it to the desktop and then drag it to the music when I disconnect the external ? Thanks

Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the Music item, and drag it there.

How to recover backed up photos from mbp hard drive

I'll try to make this short.
Basically I had a late 2006 macbook pro 15", it died on me about 2 weeks ago, hard drive failure I think. Just getting the white screen when I started it up, tried a few things and no luck, so I decided it was time to upgrade. Ordered a new macbook pro retina 13".
Then last weekend I was away and my iphone 5 got water damaged and stopped working completely. The thing is I had everything backed up on icloud apart from my photos because there was too many. I hadnt backed up or synced my iphone with my new mbp (wish I had).
I now have a new iphone 5s and want to try and get my old photos back.
I have ordered a usb enclosure to try and recover data from my broken macbook pro hard drive. The enclosure hasnt arrived yet but I wanted to get a head start on what I need to do. I thought it would be as simple as finding the backed up folder itunes keeps with the photos in it. But from looking around the net it seems these photo files arent easily readable. Is there some software I need for this situation, will I need to pay for it ?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

TM does not retain files that have been deleted from the hard drive for more than one week. During the weekly consolidation files removed from the hard drive are then removed from the TM backup.
If you are trying to use TM like a regular backup storage utility, then you've misunderstood how TM works. See the following explanation:
About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Data are deleted to make space for a new backup, but if TM is unable to delete enough files to free up space for the new backup, then you will get a disk full error. Normal thinning during a backup occurs during TM's periodic weekly and monthly consolidation backups. Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

How do I move iTunes content from my hard drive back to the cloud?

I travel a lot for work and have been using my MBP to watch movies on the plane. Obviously, this requires me to download them to my hard drive. With a smaller SSD, though, I'm finding the need to free up some space. Does anyone know how to remove a movie (or any iTunes content) from my hard drive while making it still available through iCloud streaming?

If these are iTunes purchase, you don’t move them to the cloud. They are already there.
Just delete them in iTunes.
They will still appear in iTunes with a cloud icon.
Note if you delete a movie, you will not be able to stream it while on the plane...

Recover iPhoto pictures from a hard drive?

Hello,
My hard drive of my Macbook Pro crashed, and a day before it happened I moved ALL the pictures from my phone to iPhoto.
All the pics I ever had with and of my dog who died are there.
I wanted to ask if there's a way to recover them from the hard drive?
I don't know what is wrong with the hard drive so I just wanted to ask if there's even a chance to recover them?
They gave me back my Mac all fixed but with a new hard drive because the last one kept crashing.
Please please answer

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.

PSE-10 how do I import and copy from external hard drive into organizer

Can I import and copy from external hard drive into organizer? Under Get Photos, I select import from folders/files but after browsing to the external hard drive the copy option is disabled/greyed out. I there a method to import and copy?

That would be mounted as an internal drive and hence the corresponding option is not checked during Import.
Once you import the media form this drive, you can select all and go for File >> Copy/Move files option and copy them wherever you want to.
Hope this helps
Thanks
