How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?

How do I move 3741 photos in iPhoto on my iPad to iPhoto on my iMac?
My iMac lost all of the photos in the iPhoto library about 3 OSX updates ago (current system 10.9.1) but they recently appeared on my iPad. I have looked at all of the iphoto libraries on my iMac (3) and one contains 419 photos, one contains 3 photos and the main library has place holders with description information for 3741 photos but no photos. My iPad has all of the photos in iPhoto. How do I move them?

The answer is no. There is no originals (or masters folder) that I can find. Below are the following folders in iPhoto:
Events Folder: 71 place holders with decriptions including 6 recent photos
Photos Folders: 3741 Place Holders with descriptions
Photo Stream: 1 photo
Last 18 Months: 157 photos
Last Import: 1 photo
Cloud: 229 photos
1 Album: 3 placeholders with descriptions
Slideshow: 1 placeholder with description
Many of the actual photos are recent and are duplicated in one of the abovefolders

    I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom ?

    How do I move the photos in iPhoto to Lightroom?  Thanks, I am a novice to Lightroom.

    To access your Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop and Lightroom
    1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name] > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
    2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
    3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
    Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
    4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
    5. Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
    6. Open images in Photoshop or Lightroom from the file on the desktop.
    or
    7.  Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.
        Then access the files in the folder via Lightroom and Photoshop

  • How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto with Lion? I've lost the drop down option.Karen

    How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto using Lion? I've lost the previous drop down option.
    Thank you, Karen

    There are multiple ways. I am not at my Lion machine at the moment, so I am not sure I can remember them all, but here is one: Click on the "Details" button in the upper right corner of the message. If there are image attachments, the drop down menu should appear.
    Or, try right click on the image. I think I saw "Add to iPhoto" in the contextual menu.

  • How do I move my photos from mobileme to my events folder?

    How do I move my photos from mobile me to my events folder? 
    Somehow, I made a mobile me folder and my original folder with the pictures is now gone....

    MobileMe has been gone well over a year and the last oppertunity to get your photos was long ago
    I made a mobile me folder and my original folder with the pictures is now gone....
    What does this mean? If you have a finder folder with photos in it (no matter where they came from) you can drat the folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock and import them

  • How do I put a photo on to my iPod Touch from iPhoto

    On my Mac Mini, running SL OSX 10.6.8, is iPhoto '09 v. 8.1.2. and iTunes v. 11.0.2. I've got an old iPod Touch 16GB running v. 2.2.1.
    I want to move a photo from iPhoto onto my iPod Touch, which used to be simple. However, now when I open iTunes, the photo option is no longer there, so how do I move a photo on to my iPod now?
    So I need to go back to an older version of iTunes?

    When you plug in the iPod open up Iphoto on your Mac and then in the left hand column under devices you should see your iPod. Click on this then you will see all the photos on your iPod. Click on the photos you want to transfer and Voila there you go.
    Besides,there are some articles about iPod Photo Transfer, which can help you transfer pictures from iPhone.
    For Mac:How to transfer photo/picture from iPod to Mac
    For PC: How to transfer or copy photos from iPod to PC
    No need for any other progs Hope this helps

  • I have so many photos I only have 1G of memory left.  How can I move the photos to my external hard drive that is connected to my iMac?

    I have so many photos on my Mac I only have 1G of memory left.  How can I move the photos to the external hard drive that is plugged into my iMac.

    1GB? It's a miracle your Mac is running at all!
    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    How do I move a photo from Photostream to a folder/album in Photostream?

    When I click on PhotoStream in iPhoto, I have two "categories":  My Photos, and Family and Friends Photos.  Under My Photos I have the following albums:  "My Photo Stream", "Miscellaneous", "Grandchildren", and "Family Photos".  All photos that I move from anywhere else automatically go into 'My Photo Stream".  I would like to move (or copy) some of the photos from "My Photo Stream" into one of the other three albums.
    Hope I have done a better job of explaining my situation.  Thanks again for your help.  Dick

    How do I move a photo album from my Mac to my iPad?

    I understand that when you use this method it will wipe out all the existing albums you may have created on the iPad from photos taken there. I'm afraid to try it and I can not get any albums transferred using iTunes to my iPhone.My problem  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4492272
    I've been able move the photos to the iCloud photo stream in iPhoto, open the iPad photos app (after waiting for them to appear), click edit, then save them to an album on the iPad. I'm having at lot of problems (11/10/2012) syncing since iCloud has entered the picture. 

  • How can I move my photo albums from mini ipad to Apple Mac.  I don't want photo roll

    How can I move my photo albums from mini ipad to Apple Mac.  I don't want photo roll

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    iPhoto for IOS and for the Mac share only a name at this time - not a data structure - unfortunately you can not currently do what you want even though it makes a lot of sense

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

    How do I move a photo into an album in the new Photos application?

    The simplest way is to show the Sidebar at all times - you can reveal it with options-command-S  ⌥⌘S.
    With the sidebar visible, you can simply drag the photos from the Moments or other albums to the album in the sidebar. You can select and drag multiple photos at a time by selecting the first photo, holding down the shift key and selecting more photos.  If the album does not yet exist, select the photos and press ⌘N for "File > New album" to create a new album with the selected photos.
