How to import albums from iPhoto 4..?n

Have put a lot of work to group my photos in my previous iPhoto. Now, got the '08 (7.0) Version and imported the Library. All the pictures seem to be in, even more, pictures, I believed to be erased..
But don't have a clue, how to import the albums, so the photos are grouped again as they were..
Working in Leopard (10.5.2). My other iPhoto with albums is still on another (internal) hard drive with Tiger as OS.
Any idea, how to import the albums ?
Thanks

In iPhoto's General preferences pane check the checkbox "Show Item Counts".
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

How to import Albums from iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 6

Just got a couple new Duo2Cores to replace/compliment some G4s; the G4's all had the old iPhoto 2 installed. How do I get the Albums to transfer from a G4 iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 6? The individual photos copy over fine, but I'd sure like to preserve all my albums!
Thanks!

pcbjr:
As Dochollerday pointed out before running iPhoto6 on your old library it's wise to make sure the permissions are OK and there are no locked files (why they get locked is a mystery but sometimes they do - I happened to me). A very quick and easy way to achieve both issues at once is to download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

How to import videos from iphoto

it did it the first time i loaded imovie 08, but i cant find an option to do it again.
and thre is no info in any apply help file or the support pages, only how to import photos from iphoto.
stupid! or is it me being stupid

My iphoto video formats are the kind that my DMC Panasonic Still camer Shoots.
That doesn't really help, try opening them in QT/inspector and seeing what video and audio compression is used.
My point is, they are the same format as the ones that were imported 3 days ago.
Are you sure, your camera may be capable of taking more than one type of video, does im08 still recognise the video from 3 days ago
Is there a manual way to udate the iMovie video library from iPhoto when new videos are added to iPhoto?
Have you tried dragging the video from iphoto to the desktop and then in im08 using file/import movies

HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?

Aperture fails to import albums from iPhoto

I have been using the combination iPhoto/Photoshop for many years. For some time I have considered either Aperture of Lightroom. With the chopped price and supposedly improved interface with the new version, I decided to buy it today. So far it looks like a big mistake! One major reason for choosing Aperture rather than Lightroom was Apertures's advertised smooth import of the iPhoto library, and to import albums in iPhoto. I have spent a lot of time over several years to find a good system of album organization in iPhoto. It was consequently a big disappointment to discover that Aperture failed to import most of my some 30 albums and my slideshows from iPhoto. I have searched both the manual and help to find out how I can get my album organization of some 20 000 pictures into Aperture, but so far without success. Can anyone give me a clue. Both regular albums as well as smart albums are missing. I cannot figure out how I so totally have misunderstood what Aperture is capable of.

There is always local issues involved. No two Macs are alike. Different files, temporary files, plug-ins etc. can and do cause problems. When software updates and upgrades are created, the developer, in this case Apple, need to test the software in different environments. Developers are pushed by steadily shorter deadlines, at the same time applications are also steadily becoming more complex. When I am critical to Apple, it is because there are only Apple applications involved in my case, on a brand new (2 weeks old newest version of MacBook Pro), and the very same issue has happened to too many others. Just take a look at Apple discussions. I have used iPhoto since it was launched the first time, and I have only experienced problems a couple of times before. I am not saying that the problem is iPhoto or Aperture alone, it is the two of them which do not handle the integration. Keep in mind also that most Aperture users are different than the average Mac user in that they work a lot with photo files. This is the environment that Apple has to take into account when launching upgrades and updates.

How to delete albums from iphoto?

There is clear instructions from within iPhoto to delete Journals but nothing about deleting albums. How do I go about doing this on an iOS device - iPad or iPhone?

Albums are deleted using the Photo app or by syncing with your computer.use the Photo app to delete photos in the Camera Roll, All Imported and Last Imported albums.
To delete other albums start iTunes on the computer that you normally sync with and connect your iPad. Select your pad in the left column of iTunes on your computer. At the top of the right column select Photos.
In the list of Albums below deselect those albums you want to delete. That click on Apply in the lower right corner of that window.

How to import clips from iPhoto

Hi
is there a way to bring in short avi clips from my iPhoto library to iMovie?
I am using drag & drop as a work around, which is fine, but would be nice not to have to open iPhoto.
Steve.

Hi Adam, thanks for your reply.
Issues of quality aside, yeah. I have some short .avi movie clips that were shot on my Casio Exlim stills camera. Since iPhoto 5 (I think) the import and management of the clips is dealt with automatically through iPhoto just as if they were stills (albums, keywords etc) and are viewed/edited externally via QT.
Unless I am missing something obvious, I cannot see how to import a clip from the iPhoto library via the iMovie interface as you do with regular stills?
If I have iPhoto open alongside iMovie and drag clip thumbnails from the library to iMovie's clip 'wells' the import runs as expected.
Cheers, Steve.

How to import photos from iPhoto to Lightroom?

Hey Guys, How do I export photos from iPhoto to Lightroom? I deleted them from the SD Card so I cannot import them directly to Lightroom. Im using a mac so its all very confusing for me. Please help me., Hey Guys, How do I export photos from iPhoto to Lightroom? I deleted them from the SD Card so I cannot import them directly to Lightroom. Im using a mac so its all very confusing for me. Please help me.

To simply import the original files is quite a simple process.
Locate the iPhoto Library (default is your Pictures Folder). Right click on it and select "Show Package Contents".
Locate the Masters folder and drag it onto the Lightroom icon or an open Library window. This will invoke the Import command.
Be sure "Include Subfolders" is checked.
Now you can import all the original files.
If your goal is to maintain structure of the Events it gets a little more tedious. Drag the event onto the Lightroom icon or the Library window. Once imported you can group them into a Collection Name that mimics the Event.
Repeat with other events.
With the impending demise of iPhoto and Aperture, I suspect Apple may be working with Adobe to develop an automated process that will also maintain metadata that was added in those programs. If you can wait a while, it may be worth it.

How to import album from Aperture 3?

On latest osx. Aperture 3.5.1. Keynote 6.2.
Can't seem to import an ALBUM from Keynote Media Browser showing Aperture library—individual photo work by drag and drop.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,

I think you need to ask this in the Aperture forum.

How to import photobooks from iphoto into aperture3

Hello,
when importing the iphoto library into aperture3 all photobooks or calendars are not imported. Instead, they show up as pictures in a folder.
Have I forgotten something or does this simply not work with the iphoto to aperture3 import? Is there any way around this (e.g. some kind of calendar export from iphoto with separate import to aperture 3)? Is there any plug in that can solve the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

iMovie 8 accepts video in MPEG4, DV and MOV formats. If your video clips are from a still camera that records in another format, you will have to first convert the videos before iMovie 8 will recognize them. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do this. You may be able to batch convert clips; I have not done this and have converted them one at a time.
Just drag the clip from iPhoto onto the MPEG Streamclip window and select to convert it to one of the above formats; save the new clip, then put it into iMovie.

How to import photos from iPhoto Library to Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor?

I can't use Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor to edit photos from iPhoto Library. If I choose File, Open, and then select 'iPhoto Library', error message is "could not complete your request because of a program error."

You can't do it that way. Any attempt to poke around in the iphoto library from outside iphoto is very likely to damage the library and cause you to lose your photos, so PSE won't let you. You have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor, send the photos from iphoto, and save them without changing the name or format (you may need to adjust the editor prefs>Saving Files>On First Save to let you do this). Then iphoto will remember your original and the last edited version.
Be sure to choose this file in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 10>Support files as your external editor, not the one at the top level of the PSE 10 folder in Applications:
2. Export the photos from iphoto, use File>Open in the PSE editor to open the images and then save them with whatever changes to name or format you like, and reimport the saved images to iphoto as new files. This way you can save as many versions as you like.

How to import pics from iPhoto?

I'm trying to import my existing photos to Lightroom from my computer, but I don't see iPhoto (where all of my photos are) as an option to import from. How can I import those existing photos? Thank you!

iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.

How to Import Photos from iPhoto in a smaller size

I'd like to import some of my Photo folders to my iPhone but would like to import them in a size such as the iPhone screen or perhaps twice as big.
There is no need for the full size photo.
Similiar to when importing songs, there is an option to convert songs to 128 bits

I know that you can select a photo or several and select export that then saves it to a folder.
As for drag + drop into Quark ??????
I can copy+paste / drag+drop to Mail maybe you can try to ctrl click / right click copy and paste to Quark.
It could be a setting in Quark or they just need to upgrade it to work with Iphoto 6 ????
Hope this helps.

It's a No-Go! How to import photos from iphoto (using iMac) to iPod??

I have been trying and trying to send my photos through to my iPod from my iMac (both of which are only a few days old...), and it doesn't accept them. Music and videos are fine, but the photo problem won't resolve itself. I have followed the online Apple tutorials to the T, but zilch! A message continually pops up after about a minute of trying to send the photos through:
'Preferences were not saved for the "Noel Ballantyne's iPod" because it could not be found.' [Followed by an /OK/ box]
Eloquently put, but it doesn't help me figure this out any. Help anyone, please! Do I need to set something up on my iPod before any of this can happen? I see that there's a "import photos", or maybe another button too that I need to hit first??

noelinkorea
Oddly, photos are sent through to the iPod via iTunes!
In iTunes, uses Preferences -> iPod and click on the Pictures tab. You can configure it there.
Note: The iPod preferences are available only when the iPod is connected.
If you need further assistance, I suggest you try the iPod or iTunes fora.
