How to import photos from "another user"?

I am working on a movie project (iMovie HD 6) under my username, but all the family photos are under my wife's username and, thus, in her "documents."
I found I could not directly import photos from her folder, so I had her share the photos we want to use in a folder on the "shared" documents. I then import these into my iPhoto library, and then am able to import into iMovie.
However, there are several photos for which I cannot view - when I try to open them directly from the FInder window, I get the error "You don't have permisson to read this file." Accordingly, I cannot import these into my iPhoto library and, ultimately, into iMovie.
As far as I know, all the photos were imported in the same manner, so I can't figure out why some are "viewable" and some are not.
Any ideas on my problem, or suggestions on a more direct way to import these photos?
Thanks so much for the help.
Bruce

Hi Bruce - how about copying her photos onto a CD or DVD, and then copying back from that into your iPhoto?

  • How to import photos from another program on computer eg. Adobe Photoshop

    Can photos be imported to IPhotos from another program on the same computer eg. Adobe Photoshop?

    Photos aren't "in" Photoshop. They're in the Finder and has just been set to use Photoshop to open them.
    You can import files into iPhoto by
    The File -> Add to Libary command
    Drag and Drop to either the iPhoto window or the iPhoto icon.

  • How to import photos from multiple iphoto libraries to iPad

    How do I import photos from multiple iPhoto libraries from my iMac to the new iPad? I have 4 different iPhoto Libraries on my iMac.
    I can import photos from  iPhoto library 1,  to the iPad, but when I import photos from iPhoto Library 2, created on my iMac to the iPad,
    it deletes the original photos that I imported from the first iPhoto Library and replaces them with the import from library 2.
    I only want to import selected photos from each library to my iPad. Can someone plese help me?

    As Ralph has suggested, if you want to sync photos from your computer, you must include all photos that you want to sync - with each and every sync. You cannot import photos from another Main photo folder on the computer. You must create an all-in-one photo library in iPhoto and sync from that folder. You can select one level of sub folders from within that main folder, but all of those folders must be included in the main folder - in your case it is in iPhoto. That is just how the sync process works with Photos.
    I don't know how using third party apps affects the photos that you have already synced from iPhoto, but take a look at these apps in this Google search. Maybe Wifi transfer is the way to go for you.

  • 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)?

    How to import photos from photo stream into an event?
    In iPhoto 9.4.3 the following works:
    If you have not auto imported the photos from the Photo Stream, as Larry suugests, select the photos that you want to import in the Photo Stream, and drag them to the "Events" view in the Source List. They will be imported as new events, auto split with respect to your preferences.

    You'll have to do that manually, i.e. export each album of photos to a folder with the same name located on your hard drive via  the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.

    Hi Barbara
    I see that this problem with creating a sub folder names as the shooting date has been an issue since 2011 as I found out
    on the following forum

    I am struggling to see why this is occurring with purchased software

    Hi Barbara,
    Your information has been very helpful and I do appreciate your kind assistance
    I have contacted iTunes and they are going to refund my money which is great.
    I went to store and purchased Adobe Photoshop and Premier (single package) Elements 10 s. I am using a new iMac with OS 10.7.4
    The Photoshop installed OK but she I chose to import photos from my camera and chose to create new folder named as the date shot a new folder is created but it totally shows the wrong date, I am sure we are not in 1970 or 1999 LOL. This happened with both a Canon Powershot and a Canon EOS camera. This problem does not occur with Picasa which works perfectly and does beg the question why I am persisting with Adobe products!
    The Premiere (on the same disk as Photoshop) will not install and I get the following error message
    Exit Code: 7

    You're welcome.
    The photos are imported from the Camera Roll, not synced.
    Mac or Windoze PC?
    Which application on your computer are you using for the import?
    With a Mac, both iPhoto and the Image Capture application include an option and a prompt to delete the photos from the Camera Roll are the import process is complete - as when importing photos from any other digital camera.
    The Windoze Scanner and Camera Wizard includes the same.

    How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

    You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
    Here is one such utility.

  • How to import photos from iphone

    I can not import my photos from my iphone6 to my Macbook pro. I have plugged it in and clicked import and nothing happens. It's very frustrating. I've tried unplugging and re-plugging the phone. I've tried restarting the computer but it will not let me saying "photos are being imported". Though at this point my phone is no longer plugged in.

    Hey Adysnow,
    Thanks for the question. What application are you using to import the photos on your Mac? iPhoto? Image Capture? Whichever you are using, let’s try to isolate the issue by using the other:
