How do I save photo attachments to iphoto

I cannot get a photo sent to me to iphoto. I've tried dragging, but nothing drags. I've tried going to file\save attachments which seems to work but then the photo is no where to be found (and yes, I knew where I saved it. I even tried saving to desktop. no luck). I've tried using the save drop down in the mail message details. Doesn't work. I'm running OS X 10.8.5 Thanks.

Have you considered posting in the iPhoto forums?

Hold your finger down on the photo. Then you should see the option to save it.

Using iPhoto, editing with Photo Elements 10, How to have save photos directly to iPhoto?

I want to keep using iphoto but use editing capabilities of elements 10. I am having a hardtime saving back to iphoto. Initialy was adding text to photos and had to first "flatten" the layers to be able to save to iphoto. (realized after two hours) Otherwise could'nt. Also corrected blemishes and would not save back to iphoto. It should not be that difficult if it is advertised as "edit directly from iphoto". The saving of the edits back to iPhoto should be straightforward as well, I think. now, common sense is not that common. Can anybody enlighten me? cropping and saving, no issue. THANKS!

Are you saving by using the same format? e.g. if opening a jpeg from iPhoto it must be saved as jpeg.
If using RAW images check settings are correct under the General à Advanced tab.
After Editing in PSE you must save and close in Elements for iPhoto to update correctly. iPhoto makes a virtual copy and it’s possible to right click an image and choose revert to original. Some users prefer to start the process by right clicking an image in iPhoto and choosing duplicate. After editing in PSE, saving and closing; two separate images are visible in iPhoto (the original and the edited version)
Whichever workflow you prefer - see this tech note for further information.

Mail will not allow me to save photo attachments in iPhoto

I am running 10.8.2. When I receive a photo attachment in Mail normally I would click on the Save tab and select Save to iPhoto - but the photo does not appear in iPhoto? Any ideas?

Bug. Report to Apple. IPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
For now save the the desktop and import or open with quick look, expand to full page and save to iPhoto from there

How do I save photos from email directly into correct album of iphoto?

how can I save photos to the correct album in iphoto directly from email? I've been emailed photos I can't figure out how to save. Thanks!

You can drag a photo from the email window onto the Album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and it will be added to that Album. The photo will be in its own Event but will also be in the Album you dragged it to.

How do you save photos from import or Photo Stream to an album?

How do you save photos from import or photo stream to an album? I have a MacBook Air (which keeps telling me my start-up disk is full) and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples. I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space. If I move a photo from photo stream to an album, then delete the photo from photo steam its deleted from the album. That doesn't make sense to me. There should be a way to clean up photo stream, and events, and last import by putting photos into albums. Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
I am completely lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

and I am trying to organize photos so there aren't duplicates and triples. I have photos in events, last import, photos and albums....I feel like they are all taking up space.
Sarah,
Only the photos you are seeing in the events and the Photo Stream will take up space. iPhoto stores each photo only one. After you import it, it will be assigned to one event.
Then you can use it in many albums and projects. Using the photo this way will only reference the one single copy of the photo in the event. The albums don't store the photos and do not require additional space. If you delete a photo from an event, it will be removed from all albums that have been using the this photos.
What you are seing are not actually duplicate photos but different ways to access the same photos.
The "Last event" is the same event as the last one you imported. It is there for a quick access to your recently imported photos. Photos is a quick access to all photos in your library as an endless stream of photos. These are also no duplicates.
So if you want to save space and delete photos, do that by browsing your events. Deleting a photo from an event will delete the original image file and remove the photo from all albums, books, and other products. You have only duplicate photos, if you are seing the same photo twice in an event.
Even more bizarre; I imported photos from my 4S, and only a fraction of them transferred over.
That is a different problem, but it may be related to to fact that you need to free space.
If you get a warning, that the system needs space, don't do anything but update the backup of your mac and move files to an external disk to free space.
It is not save to keep working, when the system is running out of space.
How much free space do you have? Anything below 15GB free space is really critical.

How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting them on a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box. Is it better to export them all, drag the Photo file, use Time Machine – or are there better alternatives?

I am a 'newby' to the discussion world. Hope I am doing this right. How best to save photos? I want to protect my photos (15,000 of them) by putting themon a portable drive and storing it in my safety deposit box.

Welcome to the discussions! You can use Time Machine and I would also recommend for you to manually copy your iPhoto Library (on your Pictures folder) to an external drive/thumb drive so you can restore it from there should you loose your TM backup. Exporting them from iPhoto would not preserve the libraries' integrity neither your originals, should you choose to edit them in iPhoto.

How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

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.

How can I save photos from messenger

I'm sorry, but are you referring to another app other than the native Messages App? I'm thinking that is what you are referring to, since I'm not aware of any setting like that in the native Messages app. If that is the case, it could be that you do not have Messages set to access the Camera Roll in Privacy. The app may not have access to the Camera Roll. Check that in Settings>Privacy and see if the Messages app is listed there. I'm guessing that you are referring to Facebook Messenger?

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.
