How do you import photos from the iPhoto library albums on the Mac to lightroom 5---i hit import but have no idea where to find iPhoto albums

how do you import photos from iPhoto albums on the mac to lightroom 5

Have you used the built-in migration plug-in? I'm not sure how LR handles iPhoto albums or events. there have been several reports indicating varying levels of success or otherwise, with import.
See my comments on this similar thread which also has a link to users comments on the LR journal blog.

  • I have a friend who I was helping out with his iPhone. He has since lost it. I believe I backed it up to my machine but have no idea where to find it. Is it possible to find it and read the back-up file without the original device being connected?

    If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
    Otherwise that file cannot be read

  • 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 do you transfer photos from an android phone or from google  to iPhoto??

    How do you transfer photos from an android phone or from google+ to iphoto?  I have been unable to transfer photos from my motorola photon.  The annoyingly time-consuming work-around that I've been doing is to log into google+, access "photos from my phone" and, one-at-a-time, click and drag photos into iphoto, combine all of the individual events, and then re-date the photos with an accurate timestamp.  Then, suddenly, the drag function just STOPPED from one photo to next.  Has anyone had this problem?  If so, has anyone been able to rectify it?  Has anyone used PhotoBucket?  This was just suggested to me.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks,  thedrew1125

    Does your device use standard methods of communicating with the computer? Can you access the photos with  Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)? Has it got Bluetooth? Use that to transfer to the Mac... What connectivity does your device offer?
