How to get photos from Photo Library, an album on iPhone, into iPhoto on desktop mac

Hi, this would seem simple, but somehow it's not.
I have ~1500 photos on my iPhone in a separate album. They were synced previously with an iTunes library, that I have now lost for good. The images are still on my iPhone and I want to transfer them to the iPhoto library.
My question is...
how do I transfer the images from 'Photo Library' on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.0.1) to my desktop?
When iPhone is connected to desktop and iPhoto is open, under Devices, it does not list the 'Photo Library' that I want to import, but it does list photos on the iPhone that I have taken prior to losing the iTunes library.
I tried iPhoto Library Manager, but it does not allow me to connect to the iPhone

Have you saved those iTunes library photos on your iPhone to the Camera Roll?

  • I deleted photos from sd card before it finished importing into iPhoto, how can I recover them?

    I hit delete photos when importing from SD card to iPhoto.  Lost everthing that was current.  (All the old photos were still on).  How can I recover my photos (taken yesterday)?

    media recover - the free download will tell you what can be recovered - you have to purchase to actually recover the photos

  • I'm dumb, can't figure how to get playlist from itunes library into my itou

    Ok, I have looked and looked and did search. I want to copy a few playlists from my itunes library into my itouch. I was told they would transfer when I synched, they didn't. Drag and drop does not do the job. What am I missing? I am sure something very very simple. HELP. I do NOT want to do the playlist again in my itouch from scratch, as I have almost 1,000 songs to search through.
    There has got to be an easier way.

    "Synch" is the process whereby files get copied from the iTunes library to the iPod. If your playlists did not copy, what actually did happen when you synched?

  • How to get contacts from Verizon non-smart phone to iPhone 4S

    What is the best way to get my contacts from my LG Voyager to the iPhone 4S?
    Thank you

    Certainly the LG Voyager supports syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer?
    With Wimdoze, the iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes or with the address book app used by Outlook Express or Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only, and with the Address Book on a Mac.
    You need to get the contacts from the Voyager into a supported address book on your computer - the contacts should already be available on your computer someplace. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone alone for contacts, which can be lost or stolen or damaged by accident.

  • HT4910 How do I get additional streams I've created on my iPhone into iPhoto?

    I create a new stream on my phone. I add photos to the stream and delete them from my camera roll. When I connect the iPhone to my Mac, the streams (other than the Photo Stream) are nowhere to be seen. How do I get the other streams into iPhoto and setup to sync?

    Shared photo streams require OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759).  You'll have to upgrade to Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in order to see them on your Mac.  Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.

  • Can't move photos from SD card to Trash after download into iPhoto

    The past few times I've tried to delete photos downloaded via a card reader from my SD card to iPhoto, I have been unable to do so.
    I receive the message: "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred. Error code -61."
    This problem only started with the last four or five photo downloads I've made.
    Any suggestions? Thanx.

    Try reformatting your card with your camera. That will clear the card and probably fix the issue as well.
    And is a better workflow since it eliminates the possibility of losing photos due to a computer glitch and renews the format of your card every time

  • How to get Apps from my ipod to my new Iphone

    Hello Altogether,
    as already mentioned in the headline, I am proudly possessing a new iphone since last week.
    I also have an ipod touch for which I bought some games over the last month. Now of course, I want to bring those games to my new iphone!
    How can I do this? I am not willing to pay for the games a second time of course.
    Can you help?
    Many thanks!

    All 3rd party apps on your iPod Touch should be available in your iTunes library on your computer and would be if you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes which should be selected. With this selected, after downloading an app with your iPod Touch, the app would be copied to your iTunes library the first time you sync your iPod Touch with iTunes after doing so. This also allows for downloading and installing an app on your iPod Touch with iTunes on your computer and removing an app from your iPod Touch by deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync without deleting the app permanently. If you want to re-install the app again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync to re-install the app on your iPod Touch.
    The very same applies to the iPhone.
    Since you apparently don't have this selected under the Apps tab for your iPod Touch sync preferences, with your iPod Touch connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPod Touch. After confirming all apps were copied to your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPod Touch sync preferences making sure all apps currently installed on your iPod Touch are selected below.
    After all your apps are in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences, select the apps below you want installed on your iPhone followed by a sync.
    BTW, you can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer or on your iPod Touch or iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

  • How can I restore my ITunes Library (music, album artwork, Playlists, etc) to my desktop Itunes Library from my Iphone's internal storage? (computer crash, no backups, other than what's on IPhone)

    Windows 7
    IPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2
    Itunes 11.4.0.18

    Hey Russfromchicago,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to move content from your iOS device to the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you purchased items from the iTunes Store and you've stored them on only your iOS device or iPod, you can transfer them to any computer that is authorized with your Apple ID.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do i avoid from photos getting deleted that were stored in iCloud photo library when i delete them from my iphone?

    How do i avoid from photos getting deleted that were stored in iCloud photo library when i delete them from my iphone?

    You can't delete it from your purchased list, as that is permanently maintained by the iTunes store.  You can, however, prevent it from appearing in your song list by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning off Music under Show All.

  • How get all photos from photo streams without iPhoto

    Hi to make A long story short, I lost a Hard Drive with iPhoto on it... Including all my baby's pics ... However I can still see them in the photo streams on my idevices.. First off without that Mac how can just grab all the photos off photo stream without iPhoto?
    Secondly, if I can install iPhoto on another machine or drive will that help or hurt me? Will all the photos show up under my Apple ID and can I just copy them or am I running any risk of deleting the streams?
    Is my only option to copy photos from photo stream a few at a time? And does that not repush them back up to the stream and erase older photos?
    Thank you for any help!!
    Yes I know I am a complete idiot for not backing up or using online backup service... 

    If you create a new library on another Mac, set its Photo Stream preferences to
    and log into your iCloud account on that Mac and enable Photo Stream,  the Photo Stream photos will automatically be imported into the new library. It can take a while depending on how many photos are in the stream.
    When you're done log out of your iCloud account and copy the library to a flash drive or DVD (if small enought) till you get your new drive.

  • How do I transfer photos from one library to another?

    how do I transfer photos from one library to another?

    Best way is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    you can export form one library and import into the other one but this does not get all metadata or versions

  • How to sync pictures from "Photo Library" on iphone 4 to computer to manage them?

    This is my senerio! I recently got an iPhone 4...before this phone, i had a Droid through Verizon. Yet, this iPhone 4 service is still through Verizon. When i got the iPhone, i wanted all my pictures from my old phone, the Droid, on this iPhone. The people at Verizon transferred them over. Those pictures were put into the "Photo Library" of my iPhone. I only have say...about maybe 200 pictures. They were all duplicated, many many times! So now i have over 800 of the same pictures in my "Photo Library" how do i delete the duplicates?? I've noticed i cannot delete pictures using the trash can through "Photo Library" you have to be in the Camera Roll to do so. Here are my big questions...
    1. How do i delete pictures off my phone through "Photo Library" without deleting them all?!
    2. How do i get the photos from "Photo Library" onto my computer, or iTunes to be able to manage them?!
    I want to pick and choose then delete. I do not want to delete my WHOLE Photo Library.
    Again, remember, i never got these already photos from a computer, i got them from another phone!
    Someone, please help me! This is so ridiculous!

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.
    You ould have to e-mail them to yourself.  When you sync photos to your iphone the current pics will be deleted.
    The iphone is not a storage device, it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.

  • How do I move photos from one library to another?

    I have moved my 34gig iphoto library from my MBP to an external drive. I have now created a second library on the MBP with the intention of keeping just a smaller selection of my photos in this ready to edit.
    Is there an easy way of importing photos from the old library on the external drive to the new one? Do they link up in any way, or, will I need to export a selection from the old library to a new folder on the desktop and then import from there?

    To move all the versions, metadata and photos from one Library to another use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Exporting from one and then importing to another will not get all the metadata (Faces, for instance) nor will it get the versions.
    Another way to achieve what you seem to want to do:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.

  • How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

    How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

    Depends on exactly what you want to do.
    Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do i move photos from photo library to camera roll

    how do i move photos from photo library to camera roll on ipod touch 4th generation

    I also had a similar problem with "photo library" and wondered how to do about copying my photos there to my computer. I was delighted when i succeeded moving my photos from my iphone4s "Photo library" to my "camera roll".
    I could do it using 3 apps: 1) fileExplorer 2) fileapp 3) dropbox
    Downloading these apps on my iphone devide and then Using 1) I was able to see my albums in "photolibrary" and open it in either 2) or 3). Opening it up in 2) fileapp, will give you the option to save in "camera roll" with the top right hand corner button. 
    After saving it in camera roll, I will be able to easily copy them out from camera roll from DCIM folder onto your computer.
    I am not a comp savvy person, and I managed.
