How to ADD photos to catalog from a Thumb Drive?

On 3.3 I get the options to copy to DNG and to Copy, but not ADD or MOVE.  The latter two are "greyed out."
I want to leave the photos on a thumb drive without making a copy but have the images added to the catalog.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Would you know the work around?  I want to be able to display my own personal images on a work computer.  I'm ok with cateloging them
there but don't want to store them there.
I'm fully backed up at another location; so, if the thumb drive is lost etc. it is of no consequence.
Thanks!

  • Old Hard Drive Fried! How To Add Photos and Music from iPod to iTunes

    Hello! I'm in serious need of some help.
    My old hard drive died without any warning, so I lost everything that was on it. Luckily, my iPod is full of very important photos and all of my music.
    How do I transfer these images and mp3s into iTunes on my new computer?
    I've lost everything else, so the last thing I want to do is lose the only photos I have left along with the gigs and gigs of music I spent months gathering and organizing.
    Please let me know the surest way to transfer these images and music files from my iPod into iTunes.
    Thank you so much for your help! This event has saddened and exhausted me completely.
    All the best,

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
    For some additional ways to retrieve photos from an iPod try:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

    Does anyone know how to add photos taken in iOS 8 to albums migrated from iPhoto, or do I have to set up another set of albums?

    Albums that you synced from a computer can't be amended in the Photos app, the only way to add (or remove) photos to those albums is to do it on your Mac and resync.

    Hi Salsalove,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below will walk you through the process of deleting the photos and videos that you no longer want saved on iCloud, so you don’t have to wait 30 days for them to be delted.
    iCloud security and privacy overview
    Photos
    You can delete unwanted photos from My Photo Stream at any time. Learn about deleting your photos.
    You can delete unwanted photos and videos from your shared albums at any time. Learn how to delete photos and videos from a shared album.
    You can remove subscribers from shared albums that you created at any time. Learn how to move subscribers from your shared album.
    If you’re using Family Sharing, you will be automatically added to an iCloud Photo Sharing shared album with your family members. However, you're in control of what photos, videos, and comments you want to share. Nothing is shared automatically or by default.
    Take care,

  • How can I make different catalogs from the same image

    How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

    Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
    Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
    The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
    After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
    IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
    IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
    1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
    2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
    Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

    Need instruction for how to import photos and videos from my Samsung cell phone to iPhoto.  Thx

    Copy the files to the Mac and then drag them to the iPhoto window, or use the File -> Add to Library command
    As for how to connect the phone and the Mac, for that you'll need to read the manual for the phone or seek support from a Samsung or Android (that's the operating system) site.

  • How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11? [was:transfering catalogs]

    How do I get my catalogs from elements 8 to elements 11?

    It depends...
    If you are still on the same computer and OS, the Organizer in PSE11 (or PSE12) will be able to convert the old catalog to its own format, while keeping the old catalog unchanged.
    If you are changing computer, drive or OS, the best method is via a full backup and restore:

    Thanks to both of you for your replies.
    For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
    I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
    Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
    Thanks again for your replies.

  • How to add pdfs n movies from my PC without creating ne library

    How to add pdfs n movies from my PC without creating ne library... Does iTune has ne converter tht can convert movie into format that iphone can play..

    That's easy, while connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. If your iPod shows up ok in iTunes you can change it to manual from there.
