How do I move photos from Pictures in Finder to the iPhotoLibrary?

I have a Mac OS X 10.9.4. How do I move photos I have downloaded and saved in the Pictures folder in Finder to the iPhotoLibrary? Thanks.

Hello, Bflogrl. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
Here is an article that will walk you through importing photos located in the Finder.

    Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:

    Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
    If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact.

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details
    When you drag and drop you get the current preview with limited Metadata

  • How do I move photos from my camera roll to the library on ipad 2

    ok I want my photos to be in the library and they only show up in camera roll so when I am on Facebook and want to add a status photo I click on photo and it says choose from library and then when I click on camera roll it closes so I have to get them into photo stream. instead of camera roll.

    Copy them from your iPad to your computer and then sync them into your photo library.

  • Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto to the "pictures" file?

    Hi: How do I move photos from iphoto into the Pictures file? I just purchased a digital camera and the software is only available for photos in the pictures file. Thanks.

    What camera and software is it and why do you want to use it instead of iPhoto? Is this software that came with the camera?  You don't need to use it as iPhoto is all you need. That software is not compatible with iPhoto so you would have to abandon iPhoto if you want to use the camera's software.

  • How can I move photos from one website to another website?

    I can't seem to get how to move my photos and pictures I find on the web to another website or my blog. Uupload, download ...it's all Greece to me. No offense intended.

    Are your photos in iPhoto or are they stored in folder on your iMac?
    Firstly, the two Macs need to be connected, either via ethernet or wirelessly, on the same network.
    The same can be achieved by copying the photos from your iMac to an external hard drive and then to your MBP.
    You can copy the entire iPhoto library over to your MacBook Pro and replace the existing iPhoto library in the Pictures folder. (Do you have photos in the iPhoto Library on your MBP?)
    It is also possible to have more than one iPhoto Library, by giving the library on the iMac a new name, and then copying it over.

  • How do I move photos from iPhoto to new PC or Mac?

    We are in the market for a new computer.  I want a Mac (of course!) but my husband and our budget are more comfortable with a PC.  My question is how do we move photos from our old Mac to a new comp?  Can it be done via a network?  I assume it is easier from Mac to Mac.  We do not have an external hard drive and our old comp is very outdated.  The version of iPhoto used is 6.0.6 and OS is OS X, 10.4.11.  We cannot do any further updating to either the application or OS.  We do have both an iPod and iPad but neither can even be synced with this current computer!  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

    For a PC select all photos in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder. Move that folder to the PC
    For a Mac copy the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the pictures folder of the new Mac
    The connection can be a network, a cable or even an external hard drive you move to the new system or a DVD if it will hold everything

  • How do I move photos from album to album in Photo

    How do I move photos from album to album in Photo?

    Now try this.  Try to import photos from your camera's SD Card by dragging and dropping the photos from the SD Card to an album of choice.   You can't.
    Actually you can if you drag the photos onto the albums' icon in the sidebar pane at the left or into the albums open window at the right.  This

    However, this test was for photos in a folder on the Desktop.  I didn't have a memory card to test so you may have to move the pictures from the card to a folder on the Desktop and import from there.

  • How do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    how do i move photos from iPhotos to an extern hard disk

    Specifically from?
    You export them: File -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library 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 photos from my Iphone to my PC to free up storage space?

    You can connect your iPhone to your computer and your computer will see your iPhone as though it was a digital camera.  You'll be given options to transfer pictures just as you would a digital camera.  I'd create a folder in advance and maybe call it iPhone Pictures.  Transfer the pictures, then you can delete them from you iPhone.  You can always redownload them to your iPhone via iTunes sync.

    how do I move photos from my phone to free up memory?

    Managing photos can become time consuming if you don't keep up on them and they can hog a lot of space on the memory, especially if you have video.  Transferring pictures to either your computer or the cloud is one way to manage the pics and get them off the phone.  I need to do this myself.
