How do I import photos from USB drive to iphoto

I have recently bought iMac and trying to move photographs from old laptop but can't work out how to get photos into iphoto from either finder where they are saved or from the USB hard drive I used to move them across.

On the new computer, put in the USB drive, open and highlight all photos, drag to the iPhoto icon in the Dock and they should all load.

  • Importing Photos from USB drive, autostarting Iphoto

    In order to get my iMac to automatically start iPhoto and initiate the import process from a USB drive, does the USB drive have to have the same exact file structure of that used on my camera's SD card? When I connect a USB drive with jpegs on it, iPhoto will not automatically start.

    Why do you need it to start iPhoto automatically?
    If you really do, then format it the same as a Camera Card - FAT 16.

  • How do i import photos from e-mail to iphoto

    How do I inport 25 photos from my e-mail  to iphoto?

    I am trying to save a photo I received as an attachement, using mac mail and I have done the right click and chosen export to iphoto but nothing happens.  I've looked all through my iphoto pics, by import date, etc. and it isn't there.  I also looked in photo stream, the photo isn't there. I've tried more than once. I am using OS 10.8.2 and iphoto 11. 
    I've also tried to save the photo and the process opens asking me where to save it, but iphoto is not one of the places I can choose.
    I saw the suggestion to save it to my desktop and then try and move the photo into iphoto.  But since I'm using mac mail and iphoto, it seems that it should be more straight forward to handle this process than having to use the desktop.  Am I missing a step so it will go to iphoto when I right click on export to iphoto?
    Any suggestions?

  • How do I import photos from usb to iphoto?

    Sorry new to Mac I have old photos I have scanned would like to import them to Iphoto.

    Just drag the into the open iPhoto window.
    Were any of these photos scanned as black and white?  If so they may not import or appear normal once imported into iPhoto.  That's because iPhoto does not support photos scanned as grayscale.  So import just one and see if it imports and appears normal in all modes, thumbnail and full size.
    If that photos doesn'twork download Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile.zip from Toad's Cellar and drop a copy of it onto the application.  Then try importing the converted photo into iPhoto.  If it works you can convert the rest of the B/W scanned files before importing into iPhoto.

  • How do I import photos from Sony T900 to iPhoto?? Please help :)

    I have a Sony T900 and I have no clue how to import the photos into iPhoto. Does anyone have a clue?? Please share I really need some help =/
    Thanks!!

    Connect the camera to your Mac with the USB cable that came in the box. Switch the camera on. You probably have to switch it to Playback mode (Button on the top). Your Mac should show a new disk (it thinks that's what your camera is
    Start iPhoto. iPhoto should 'see' the camera, and it should appear in the list at the left of the iPhoto window, and the photos should appear in the main window, at the bottom right of which are the import buttons.
    Have a look at the iPhoto pages at Apple.com. Also, there's a discussion board here specifically for iPhoto

  • How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

    How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do.
    Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?

    I have saved many photos to an external hard drive for security. I would like to store at least some of them in iCloud so I have direct access from Photos. Is this possible please?

    how do I import photos from external hard drive to iCloud library?
    Just like you'd do it with iPhoto.  Drag the photos or folder of photos into the open Photos Library window or onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    If you have the iCloud Photo Library activated in Photos the new photos will be copied to the online iCloud Photo Library along with the rest of the photos in your library.  Remember, with the iCloud Photo Liberty it's all the photos or none.  You may have to purchase additional iCloud space to store all of your photos.

  • HT201302 How do I import photos from my PC to my IPad?

    How do I import photos from my PC to my IPad?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) 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; DSCN0164.jpg).
    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. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How do you import photos from a disc on to a memory stick

    how do you import photos from a cd disc on to a memory stick using an IMac 27 inch

    Insert the CD into the CD/DVD drive and the memory stick into a USB port. Open a Finder window and browse to the CD disk and select the images you want to copy. You can select individual images, out of order by holding down the Command key while clicking on them or a Run of images by holding down the Shift key and select the first then the last image you want to copy over.
    Once selected press Command + c keys to Copy. Browse (Select) the memory stick in the finder window and press Command + v keys to paste.
