    How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone?  I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

    I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
    If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
    So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

  • I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto?

    How can I remove all photos and directories from iPhoto as if it was a brand new install?
    I am new to iPhoto and was unaware of how it works, honestly I still am a little confused as to when pics I am using 1/2 the time, some from iPhoto and some from MyPics.
    Anyhow, I am looking to remove all photos from iPhoto because during the migration of all my photos from PC to MAC, somehow my timeline became messed up and all my photos that have been logged my dates since 1998 are now all messed up.
    Although all my year folders are still in tact, IE 1998-2006, the subfolders and like pics are all intertwined somehow.
    And when I search iPhoto for a given year, photos from 2,4, 8 yrs back show up in 2006.
    Anyhow, I have selected and deleted all photos and folders within iPhoto, and then import the desired photos from MyPics, only to have the photos double up in the library. ( The old ones that should be deleted and the new imports)
    I simply don't get it, they fill the trash and disappear when it's emptied, then reappear when iPhoto re-opens!
    Can someone help????
    I have completely reworked all my photos so that they are all in the correct folders outside of iPhoto, and now I want to import those and only those pics with that file structure.
    IE Structure = YEAR > MONTH > DAY ( or if needed) > DAY/EVENT

    Do you want to remove the existing full sized image files also? If so then just drag the iPhoto Library folder from the Pictures folder to the Trash and empty it. But be warned you'll lose all of your image files.
    You are dragging the files to the iPhoto Trash bin and then using the iPhoto->Empty Trash menu, right?
    In copying your photos to myspace and then back the original capture date may not be retained and then either the created date or modified date will be used by iPhoto. If the files in the current library are the originals from your camera then those have the best chance of retaining the correct Captured Date. You can check that out by dragging the Originals folder from your iPhoto Library folder to the desktop and then trash what remains of the iPhoto Library folder. Then launch iPhoto and it will ask you to create an new library. Then import that Originals folder and it's subfolders by dragging it into iPhoto's open window. You'll keep the same rolls that was. The roll dates may change but you can check the captured date of the files by using the calendar in the Source pane.
    You won't be able to keep your folder structure within iPhoto. Each outside folder will result in a roll with the same title as the folder. You'll be able to create folders in the Source pane to put albums inside. You can create a smart album to include all photos in a certain date range, line one month.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

  • Image Capture and MP4 and MOV with iPhoto

    Using Image Capture, I tried to transfer pictures and movies (MP4 and MOV) from my iPad 3 to iPhoto on my iMac. Things were looking good, images and movies were transfering fine, iPhoto had opened with all of them in a new event. I was able to play both MP4 and MOV from iPhoto. Then I quit iPhoto and Image Capture and launch iPhoto again and try to play the movies that I just imported, iPhoto says it can't find them. It seems that it can't find them if Image Capture is not running !? Although the pictures are fine. Can somebody help me ? Thanks for the help.

    I needed that option off because I want to keep them only on my NAS, so PC users can still accesses them when needed. I didn't want different sources, only on that I know is "the actual source".
    Now, I did import them on Images directory using Image Capture and it worked. Then I moved them to my NAS.
    But I just realized that the iPad appears in iPhoto and that I can import them into iPhoto directly ! It works fine, meaning that if I disconnect the iPad from the iMac, the movies play just fine. The initial setup was to launch Image Capture when the iPad is connected to the iMac. I disabled it. I plan to use the import from iPhoto instead.
    But I still need to keep those pictures and movies on the NAS as well. It means that I will need to export them on the NAS eachtime.
    Thanks for your help, it really helped.

  • How do I scan a photo and move it to iPhoto?

    I know that I can transfer images from my printer to iPhoto because I've done it before. I guess it's been a long time and I've forgotten how. I've tried placing a photo on my HP Deskjet 4480 glass and pushing scan. I just get multiple print outs and they're really poor quality. The entire sheet is composed of stripes of the original.
    I think this is an easy fix, or fixes. Please help me if you can.
    Thanks,

  • How can I share my photos without all the iPhoto features

    I want to share a photo album with my friend on a DVD ROM disc. He does not use iPhoto so I only need to write my current photos from this album into a DVD ROM, preferable with the folders organized by date.
    I used the SHARE->BURN command, but the result is not exactly what I wanted.
    My album has 1500 photos, but the DVD that I got from the burn has 5500 photos. It included all the face database clippings and all the thumbnails and modifled version of the photos along with the original copies.
    If I could control the content of the DVD, I would like to lose all the face clippings, merge all the original and modified photos and only burn the "final" copy to the disc. i.e. I want a distilled content of my album that is NOT an iPhoto database snapshot. Is there an option I can use to alter the DVD burning preference?

    Nothing.
    You need to distinguish between the Photograph and the File that contains it.
    The File is what the Finder sees, and shows you - quite correctly - the File data.
    The Photographs metadata - including the time the shot was taken - is stored in the Exif. The Finder has no awareness of the Exif, however, photo apps do.
    Some options:
    1. Get your friend to view the Photos in a Photo app, or some app that is Exif aware.
    2. Rename the files to reflect the order you want them in. For instance: create an Album of the pics you want to export, and set them into the order you want. Then File -> Export at the File Name option choose 'Sequential' or Album Name with Number.
    3. Rename the files with the date that they Photos were taken using an app like Shootshifter

  • How do I share my photo book project with my other computer?

    I have started creating a photo book in iPhoto on my iMac.  I would like to continue to work on it on my macbook.  Is there a way of sharing the project via iCloud or some other way?
    Please help

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Missing Photos and albums in iphoto on the iMac (2012)

    on the imac I´m missing all the photos till 2011, and on the macbook air all till 2008 and between 2008 and 2011 i`m also missing some.
    Has somebody any idea why iphoto doesn´t show or has deleted all the photos and how can i bring them back? On the iMac I´m also missing all the Albums, it just doesn´t show them and i can´t find a button in the settings to switch this...
    so if anybody knows how i can fix this...

    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.
    iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
    iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run  Option #4 to rebuild the database
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager (iPhoto 8 or earlier or IPhoto 11 and later) 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
    File ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 8 or earlier)
    or
    Library ➙ Rebuild Library (iPhoto 9 or later)
    menu option to rebuild the library.
    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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I duplicate a photo and move ONLY 1 copy to a new folder?

    I am going nuts. After making a duplicate version of photo, I want to move the copy to a different file such that the photo can be in 2 locations. i.e. one copy in the original location, and then 1 copy in a separate location to be used for another purpose. i.e version 1 (summer vacation), version 2 (Daniel's high school). When I try to do this and drag a copy to the other folder, it keeps moving BOTH versions. So, I have 2 versions in either Folder but I can't get it to keep 1 copy or version in each folder!!

    I did a little experimenting:
    I seem to be able to copy a master to another project by option dragging if the image is managed. If it's referenced, it seems to copy a version that is still dependent upon the referenced master in the original project.
    I can also drag just one of the versions to an album in another project which of course is also dependent upon the referenced master in the original project.
    However, I can not copy just one version to another project. They both come, and all I can do is delete one of them.
    NOTE: If I delete both with "move referenced files to trash" checked and they're referenced, the MASTER FOR THE ORIGINAL PROJECT IS GONE TOO!
    I should also note that I did this as an experiment and have no need or desire to do this in my own workflow. IOW: I don't recommend it.

  • How do I share address book and calendars with other iCloud users?

    I guess the title of the discussion question says it all.
    My wife, and other family members want to SHARE Contacts, Calendars etc... with other iCloud users.
    Simple task... most people would want to do it...
    But... I can't find an easy answer... how do I do it?

    Roger, thanks... I had continued my search and found this information on the discussion.
    Now, my biggest concern is the ADDRESS BOOK... I'd like to publish, specific GROUPS within my master Address Book to other iCloud users... with either Read Only, or Read Write permisions.
    Do you have any knowledge or suggestion on how that can be accomplished in iCloud?
    It seems as though this would be FOUNDATIONAL in iCloud if APPLE expects it to be a USABLE SERVICE.
    Thanks for your help...

  • Backing up photos and movie clips

    It is necessary to erase everything on my computer and make a clean reinstall because of problems with Leopard. I have copied everything onto an external HD but am hesitant to erase everything without being double sure it was done correctly. The only thing I am really concerned about is my 70,000+ photos. I want to copy them to another external HD just in case they were not backed up properly the first time. In Leopard when I open up my Mac HD the following items appear on the left side: PLACES with a subheading of "Pictures" and SEARCH FOR with subheadings of "all images & all movies". Which one of these catagories do I copy onto an external HD to get every single photo and movie clip I have on the computer no matter wherever they are residing? (The external HD has no backup program so I am simple copying the photos.) Thanks for any help you can give me as I cannot afford to lose 70,000 images.

    Those under the SEARCH FOR are what will get all the images and movies on your mac. But to be ultra-positive that you got everything just use the free version of SuperDuper! to clone your mac to this external disk.

  • Exporting photos and metadat from iPhoto '09 to Lightroom 3

    After several years managing 110K+ photos and movies in iPhoto, I am reluctantly considering moving to Adobe Lightroom. I paid $200 for Aperture, but the most recent releases of both Aperture and iPhoto are so buggy that I'm not upgrading. I was very sad to reach this conclusion.
    I am seriously considering moving to Adobe Lightroom for its power, stability, and availability on much cheaper PC hardware. Does anyone know of a way to export everything I've done in iPhoto (including hundreds of hours of tagging and photo editing) to Lightroom? I've spent a couple of hours reading forums and haven't seen anything (instructions or app) that will do the job.
    I really wish Apple had nailed Aperture since I'm now needing it's photo editing power together with iPhoto's excellent organization capabilities. This was the promise of Aperture 3. Now I just feel dumb for spending the $200 (since the app is both buggy and available for $80 in the app store).
    I would deeply appreciate any advice on the transition to Lightroom 3 from iPhoto '09... and I will always be an Apple fan.

    Terence,
    You rock for posting such a quick reply so late at night. Thank you!
    I forgot about those checkboxes. Excellent point. Thanks for the description heads up. I'm fine losing the faces info (esp. since LR3 doesn't offer it as you said). It's the keywords and titles that I've spent 100's of hours on
    Have you tried importing to LR with exported metadata? Did it work end to end for you? I'll check out iPhoto to Disk in depth.
    I would like to keep my originals and the modified versions. Do you know of any way to avoid doubling the item count in my library to nearly a quarter of a million? I am hoping to avoid having an original and modified version of each file. I actually suffered that once through an iPhoto issue a couple of years ago and hope not to repeat.
    To add more context to my Aperture and iPhoto '11 comments, the iPhoto '11 comments are purely a reflection of what I've read in hours of forum reading and not my direct experience. On Aperture, my experiences are actually limited -- focusing solely on importing a huge iPhoto library to Aperture. I spent tens of hours over several weeks trying to migrate and simply failed. The memory leaks got me time and again, no matter how I reconfigured the import (for example by splitting 110K photos into approx 50 individual imports). I should've called out that once (partially) imported, everything seemed to be faster and smoother in Aperture than in iPhoto. Thanks for the call out.
