Hello gerryfromchatham
All you need to do is select the photos and then drag and drop them on top of iPhoto to import them in.

How do I consolidate photos from Finder into iPhoto Library?

I would like to tidy up my photos on my iMac to save space and ensure that all is secure.
Iam using iPhoto 08 on my iMac v10.8.5. My preference is to consolidate all my photos into my iphoto library so that I can manage my collection through iPhoto. I seem to have the same photos showing in Finder -> pictures as I do when I open iphoto. In addition photo files are also stored under My Pictures folder too. I'm guessing they are managed by iphoto but I don't know why they are saving in Finder as well as the iphoto library. I generally upload photos from either an iPhone or iPad.
I have the iphoto preferences set to 'copy items to the iPhoto library' so I'm not sure why they also appear in replicated album structures in Finder and as single images in Finder. Do I just import them again and delete from Finder? Any suggestions? (same for my .MOV files too).
I've taken a screen shot but don't know how to add to this post.

Thanks Larry. I tested that for one photo by deleting (placing in trash) one image and then reopening iphoto to make sure the photo was still there and it was.
However, I was going to select all the images to delete them noticed that the first 4 are not showing in iPhoto (I search by image number as well as sort by image title to double check). These are photos of my daughter at school so would not want to accidentally delete them.
Is there a way to compare what is in iphoto and what is in Finder? Any suggestions on how to ensure I don't miss any? I'm guessing I just import them all and then run the duplicate cleaner file (not perfect but I just deleted 1.5 GB of photos that were duplicated i iphoto). My operating system is old (2008) and needs all the grunt it can get.
Not sure if this may be related but iPhoto seems to randomly duplicate my photos and movies within iPhoto and I have no idea why this is happening. The photo and its title is repeated twice but the .jpg is dropped off the file title. Does the same for movies and drops the .MOV from the title when duplicating.
Regards, Suzanna
PS I have just tried to import those 4 photos and they are in iPhoto but the photo name is date and time instead of image number as in Finder. That will make it really hard to find?

How can I get photos from imovie into iphoto?

I downloaded the photos onto my desktop and made an imovie with the photos...but at some point I deleted the photos file AND I lost the original photo cd they were on. The photos are in my imovie file, but I need to somehow get them to iphoto (or somewhere) to burn onto a cd. This was I can print out just the photos. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.2.x as you state correct for your OS?

How do I get photos from laptop to iPad, can't find photo tab

How do I get photos from lap top to iPad?

The photos tab appears on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the device, in the same way as the music, films tabs etc appear for syncing those items to the iPad. You need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

How do i get photos from computer to iPhone?

how do i get photos from my macbook onto my iphone5. i transferred iphone photos to iphoto, and now they disappeared from my phone! something went wrong!

On your Mac: open System Preferences, select iCloud. Either create an account, or login if you already have one. Ensure that everything you want to synchronise between your Mac and your iPhone is ticked. In this case especially 'Photo Stream', but I find it useful to synchronise Calendars, Notes, Contacts and Reminders. If you use an @me.com email address then synchronise Mail as well - I don't.
On your iPhone: go into Settings, select iCloud. Login to your account (if necessary). Ensure that 'Photo Stream' is turned on.
That's it, photo's taken on your iPhone will automatically synchronise with your Mac, and photos in the 'Photo Stream' folder of iPhoto on your Mac will automatically synchronise with your iPhone.
There are other advantages to setting up iCloud if you have both a Mac and an iPhone, e.g. 'Find my Mac' which despite it's name enables you to find your iPhone as well, which let's face it is much more likely to get lost or stolen.

How do I get photos from my pc to Itunes to put on my IPAD?

Hey Sandersincp,
These are the steps for adding digital photos to an iPad using iTunes:
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.
Click the Photos button.
Select “Sync photos from” and choose an album or folder from the pop-up menu.If you’re using Adobe Photoshop Album or Adobe Photoshop Elements, you can export photos directly from those applications to your device by choosing Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose whether to move all your folders or albums, or only selected folders or albums.
To also move the full-resolution versions of these photos to your iPod, select “Include full-resolution photos.”Note: To move the photos from your iPod to another computer, select this option, and also select “Enable disk use” in the Summary pane. This option isn’t available on iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. For more information, see Use iPod as an external hard drive.
Click Apply.If it’s the first time you’re adding photos to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, it might take a while, but subsequent syncs should be faster.

How do I get photos from my PC to my I-Pad?

How do I get photos from my PC to my I-Pad?

Another way.
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

Hi Hannah,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below will walk you through restoring the iPhone from a previous iCloud or iTunes backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Restore from an iCloud backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your iOS device to resolve an issue, follow these steps.
Follow the initial steps in the iOS Setup Assistant (select your language, and so on).
Select Restore from iCloud Backup when the assistant asks you to set up your iPhone (or other iOS device).
Select the backup you created earlier.
You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.
If you've already set up your device, you can erase all current content to go through the iOS Setup Assistant again. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup, because this step will remove all current content from your device.
Use iTunes
Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device from the list and choose Restore from Backup.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Hi People!
Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive on my MacBook

How did you use this backup drive? Was this a Time Machine backup, or just an external drive to which you copied files?
I assume your photos were in iPhoto. If you're just talking a bunch of JPEG files you can just drag them wherever you like, otherwise:
