How do I import photos import from iPhoto on Mac Os 10X yosemite?

unable to access photos and about ready to give up on lightroom. Need help please.

iPhoto stores photos in a hidden folder which makes for a challenge.
Easiest thing to do is to use the export function in iPhoto and select the
export original photo option. Export to a folder on your desktop to make it
easy to locate. You will lose any edits this way but is the only way to get
at your original RAW photos (I am assuming you are working with RAW images).
Once the export is complete, use LR Import function to either the COPY
option your photos to a new LR-managed folder of your choice, the ADD
option to add the photos to LR but leave them the photos where they
currently reside or the DNG option to copy them to a new folder and convert
your RAW images to DNG files. If you use the copy or DNG options, you can
delete the folder you used when you exported the photos from iPhoto but
don't delete the folder if you go with the add option.

IMovie '09 - How do I get photos in from iPhoto? (It's not working!)

Hi,
I have seen posts about difficulties accessing photos in iMovie '09 but can't seem to get it to work for me. I added more photos to iphoto and they won't show up in imovie. I put them in new folders then, but the folders show up with nothing inside. Then I try and drag and drop from iphoto and finder - into all sections of imovie and it still won't work. How do I do this?? I tried editing each photo in iphoto to see if that work work, but no luck still. I really want to add the last few photos to my project!
Thanks for any thoughts or insight!!

Hi,
The problem can be that there is an '&' in the path to your iPhoto-library. I renamed some of my albums in iPhoto. For me this worked, but I'm still using iLife '06.
If this doesn’t help you can also just drag the photo’s from iPhoto into iMovie of iDVD.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I Import from a PPC MAC at 10.3.9 to a Intel MAC at 10.4.8

I just received my new 17" MacBookPro and very successfully imported all my files from my G3Powerbook500. HOWEVER, I have done ALL of my printing on my Epson 4000 and 9600 from my PPC G4-500 tower at OS 10.3.9. Now my Intel MacBook Pro at 10.4.8 is my highest performer and I want to print from it. I have many Custom Page Sizes on my G4 that were not imported at install (of course since I came from my G3).
How can I export my G4 print setup dialog Custom Page Sizes to my new MacBookPro???

Thanks a lot Chris. I believe it is working. I was already going down this path and stopped when I saw that the format I had imported from my G3 at 10.3.9 looked quite diferent than my G4 data. When you said try it it gave me a boost over my doubts so I went ahead anyway and things look good in my new MacBookPro 10.4.8 custom page setup dialog. All my G4 settings are now in place on my MacBookPro. I won't get a chance to actually print from this machine until next week because of business commitments but I'm pretty sure you got me there! Thanks again, Bob

How can I load photos back from iPhoto to my iPhone?

I had an iPhone 5s that had 64GB of storage. I had a lot of music and photos on it. So much so, that I maxed out the storage capacity. My only solution was to remove something. So I decided to offload some of my old photos. I used iPhoto to move some of my older photos to my laptop in order to free up space on my iPhone. Since then however, I have purchased an iPhone 6 (128GB) and storage is not as much of an issue. My question is... How can I add my photos back to my iPhone in the same order that they were before I offloaded them to my laptop? When I have tried to get the photos back on my iPhone, they are added as new photos with today's date and they do not sort correctly.

Hello PMorrisJr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you have imported photos from your previous iPhone into iPhoto, and now you would like to sync them back in the order they were taken to your new iPhone. Regardless if you are syncing albums, events or the entire iPhoto Library, the photos do sync over with the same photo date that appears in iPhoto.

How do I convert Photo's from iPhoto 9.4 to 9.2

My main computer is an iMac running iPhoto 9.2. While on a trip I down loaded my photo's into my MacBook Pro running iPhoto 9.4. How do I convert the photo's so I can run them on 9.2?

Export them from the 9.4 album and import them to the 9.2 library.

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

After importing from iPhoto, how would you eliminate the photos?

I have installed Aperture adn like it quite a bit. I imported from iPhoto (which copies over the pictures...not move.)
I have backed up the photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive in case Aperture blows up on me and I need to go back to iPhoto. But now that I have done that, what is the suggested way to get all those pictures out of iPhoto? so I can get back that disk space.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's wrong with simply deleting and then emptying the trash?

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

Photos imported from iPhoto to iMovie turn a bright red hue.

When I attempt to import photos directly from iPhoto into iMovie, both with and without the Ken Burns effect, the photos all wind up washed out and tinted red. I've looked for some sort of setting I could change to avoid this, but haven't been able to find it, and I've installed all the most recent updates. Has anyone encountered a similar problem? Better still, does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks for your interest.
I had scanned in monstrous TIFF images -- these were the ones that would turn to red tint when I applied Ken Burns effect.
I created an action in Photoshop to flatten layers and save to JPEG, then ran an automated batch on all the TIFF images to create JPEGs.
I imported the JPEGs into the iPhoto library, then into my old iMovie. These new JPEGs don't turn red with the KB effect. I then emptied the iMovie trash to reduce the size of the movie, and then could no longer apply the KB effect to any of the clips in the timeline (only on clips not yet moved into the timeline). I tried restarting iMovie, but that did not help.
So I created a new movie from scratch and that seems to be working just fine. I feel like iMovie is such a waste of my time. I spent about 10 hours on my movie up to this point where I can be productive.
I notice some of the images have scratches I'd like to fix in Photoshop. What's the recommended way to do that? Can I keep effects or transitions and just re-apply them to an edited photo?

Got someone know how to solve the problem..!
Thank..!

I appreciate all of your responses to my problem. There is no doubt that I have a lot to learn about Aperture. I guess the first thing I need to do is learn the correct process to import my existing photo events from iPhoto. When I conducted the import operation, I imported by selecting my individual events from iPhoto browser. Is my problem the result of incorrectly importing from iPhoto? Where can I find the appropriate import steps into Aperture from iPhoto?
Several of you recommended that I may need to execute a repair against my iPhoto library. How do I run the repairs on the iPhoto library?
I am confused as to why every single photo is duplicated with one version being the original and the other as an edited version. I am confused since I have not attempted to edit all of my photos within iPhoto. Granted I have edited a few photos, but no way every single one. More than likely I am importing the photos incorrectly from iPhoto. I may try to import from my photo cards rather than attempting to copy from iPhoto. Perhaps iPhoto automatically sends two copies of the same photo to Aperture as a default???

How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

How do I delete photos on the IPhoto import pane that I DO NOT want to import?

your question is not clear
if you want to delete unimported photos you can not using iPhoto -image capture can and youcan do it on yoru IOS device or yoru camera
If you want to import only select items and you have a current version of iPhoto then you select the ones you want and use the import selected cuttom
a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

how do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup? I did a back up and i formatted my machine. How do i get iphoto to be the same?

There is NO importing necessary. One should never import one library into another. Just restore it to your Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.
