How to import photos from email to iphoto

How do I import photos I receive in my email to iphoto 11. I am using osx 10.8.2

Drag the photo to the desktop, then drag the photo on top of the iPhoto icon in the dock and iPhoto will open and import it. If iPhoto is already open, drag the photo into iPhoto's viewing window.
If you're using Apple's Mail app, there should be a save button next to the attachment. Click and hold on that and select 'save to iPhoto'.

  • How Do I Import Photos from Email To Iphoto

    How do i drag the photos from an email and put them on my desktop? And after that, how do i import the photos on the desktop to iphoto library?

    Hi Mark,
    Click on the photo in the email and hold down the clicker and drag the photo to the desktop. Now drag the photo on top of the iPhoto icon in the dock and iPhoto will open and import it. If iPhoto is already open, drag the photo into iPhoto's viewing window.

  • Importing photos from email to Iphoto

    This may be very easy but I can't get around it...how do I import photos I received in Jpeg format via email to Iphoto? Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The exact details will vary depending on what you use for email, but essentially the process is to download the photo to your mac and then import to iPhoto.
    So, if you use a web browser to access Web Mail, then drag the pic from the message to the desktop and then drop it onto the iPhoto icon. Note: it's a two-step process. Dragging to the desktop is what forces it to download.
    If you use Apple's Mail there's a Save button in the message window. Click on it and choose 'Add to iPhoto'.

  • How to import photos from Mail to iPhoto and preserve the date created?

    I have several photos sent to me via email attachments in Mail which I want to "add to iphoto."  When I do this, the original date of the photo changes to "today's date." 
    When I drag the photo to the desk top, the file (photo) properties change and the date changes to "today's date."
    Is there a way to import photos and preserve the original date the photo was taken?  For example,  if my family finally got around to sending me photos from 4th of July, I know the date is 7/4/2012, not today's date, 10/9/2012. 
    I want to avoid the time/work of doing batch changes on countless photos I want to add to iphoto. 
    iphoto 11
    mail 5.3

    Larry, I need more information...
    Using what you said, I ran some tests using photos taken with my digital camera in iPhoto.  My photos show the following information in the "information" sidebar:
    •type of camera
    •Flash on
    •Format size
    •File size (MB)
    •File type (jpeg)
    •Frame "number"
    •Month/day/year/hour/min/sec/AM-PM
    Then I tried to email a photo to myself:  I have tried:  "share," "attach," "drag/drop" a photo into email and sent it to myself as a test.  Once the photo arrives in my Mail inbox, I have tried various ways to add this "test" photo into iPhoto:
    "Add to iphoto"
    "drag into iphoto"
    "export into iphoto"
    Each time, iphoto created the photo with "today's date."  In the past, I would get an alert:  Photo already exists in iphoto, do you still want to import?  Duplicate or Cancel
    Can you elaborate on, "if the photo properties are present and correctly formatted then iPhoto uses them."
    When I drag a photo to the desktop and double-click to preview the photo, the top of the preview window says:
    P1009.jpg -- locked (gray lettering of the word "locked")
    Is there a setting I need to change to "unlock" the properties of my photos?*
    Thanks!!
    MG
    *My original post focuses on importing photos sent from other people.  I am hoping if I can solve the matter with my own photos, other photos will import with original dates created, too.

  • How to import photos from an old iPhoto library

    I have started using a new Mac (MacBook Pro Retina with OS10.10.1).
    I saved my earlier iPhoto Library on my previous Mac to an external Drive. Now, if I try to open the old iPhoto Library file from my new Mac then iPhoto offers me to 'Switch Libraries' and to access pictures from the old library.
    But this is not what I need. I would like to merge the old into the new (on my current Mac) and use a single iPhoto library for all pictures. In another word I would like to import content from the old library to the new and then use it as a single iPhoto library. When I try the 'iPhoto Library' files are inactive in the Finder....
    Please advise steps to do do it.
    Thanks

    iPhoto can not merge libraries
    And you must NEVER Import an iPhoto library - it does not work and creates a massive mess
    To merge libraries you must either use Aperture (being phased out this year) or the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - 
    Or continue to have two libraries and switch between them

  • Has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto

    has anyone noticed how much slower it is to import photos from iphone to iphoto in Mac OS.?

    How many photos do you have in your iPhoto library? As your library grows, it will take more time to load when the app launches.Personally, I have not noticed any slowdown.
    And my question was meant to find out whether you import process had gotten slower than...a year ago, a month ago, compared to other photo apps? Running Mountain Lion..since you upgraded? In the end..what? Hence, I asked.
    Try being clearer next time. That way we don't have to beat around the bush when trying to help 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 photo from laptop to iphone? is it possible?

    how to import photo from laptop to iphone? is it possible to do so?

    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.

    You'll need to create a new, temporary library and import into that with the option to delete from your iPhone. Then delete the library and go back to your current library.

    Connect the iPhone to the Mac using a USB cable, and then launch iPhoto, Photos, Image Capture, or Aperture, depending which applications you have installed. all can import from an iPhone.
    Which MacOS X version do you have and which iOS version? With newer systems you can also use Photo Stream:   iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
