How to import photos into Folders or Albums from backuped CD-R

I need you advice.
I made folders of photos in CD-R when I backuped. I would like to import them into each folders and album I made in i photo newly from the folders on CD-R. Even though I select "Add library" under "File" and drag& drop and copy from Finder window/ CD-R window, all are just imported into Library.
Many thanks,
Mac

Hi Mac Ito,
Here is something I typed out a couple of days ago for a response to another person. It might help you also.
Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
Go to File>new album from selection.
You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
Hope this helps!

  • How to import photos into LR 2.6 from Elements 8

    When I used Photoshop elements 6 I was able to import into LR 2.6  from elements catalog. How can I do this with Elements 8. The option doesn't come up in files menu.

    When I used Photoshop elements 6 I was able to import into LR 2.6  from elements catalog.
    I think you mean you were able to *convert* a PSE6 catalog to a Lightroom catalog. This isn't possible with Lightroom 2.6 and PSE8 catalogs, but you can *import* your photos from PSE8 into Lightroom, although you will lose some PSE catalog information. First, use psedbtool to write the metadata from the PSE8 catalog to the photo files themselves; then import the photos into Lightroom.

  • How to import Photos into Active Directory

    Hi -
    IT Director asked me to import employees pictures into Active Directory so that we can use them in Outlook, SharePoint, Lync etc.
    Do you know how to import pictures into Active Directory?

    Thumbnailphoto Attribute in active directory is responsible for adding photos to Active directory.
    By Default Replication of this attribute will be disabled to Global catalog server. To make use of this facility we will have to enable replication of this attribute to Global Catalog. ( To accomplish this you will have to edit the schema using Active directory
    schema snap in).
    Refer Below link which explains about enabling the replication of Thumbnailphoto attribute to Global catalog.
    http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/configuring-using-display-picture-exchange-server-2010.html
    Requirements
    Minimum requirement for your exchange enviornment to use this - Exchange 2010.
    Exchange 2007 Don't support uploading photos AFAIK.
    Domain controller should be running with atleast windows server 2008 or later. And
    schema has to be windows server 2008

    How to remove the uploaded photos?
    Either You can edit the Thumbnailphoto attribute using ADSIedit and remove the entry which is assocaited with Thumbnailphoto attribute.
    Or,
    Try this.
    The Import-RecipientDataProperty and Export-RecipientDataProperty cmdlets allow you to import and export the photo blob to and from
    thumbnailPhoto attribute, but there's no Remove-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet to remove it. You can use the
    RemovePicture switch of Set-Mailbox cmdlet to remove a user's photo. For example:
    Set-Mailbox "Bharat Suneja" -RemovePicture

  • How to import photos into new Photos beta app

    I am trying to figure out how to import photos from an auxiliary (i.e., not my main)  iPhoto library into the new beta Photos app. Has anyone been able to do this?  Thanks.

    You can't import a one library into another library with either Photos or iPhoto.  You could with iPhoto if the library to be imported was created by iPhoto 6 or earlier and still had a normal folder for the library.  Since iPhoto 7 libraries became packages and  can't be imported into another library.

  • Confused...how do I import photos into a particular album?

    I'm trying to import a bunch of Hubble Space Telescope photos into iPhoto. They are in a folder on my hard drive. I'd like them to go into an album I created titled "Astro photos for iPad".
    Is there any way of picking selected photos and importing them directly into that album?
    I rarely use iPhoto, but every time I do, it's a major head-scratcher. I don't know why, but I simply do not understand the interface or organization (folders, albums, events, etc.). The PDF help manual doesn't cover importing photos from the hard drive. I'm sure iPhoto works wonderfully for regular users. I know it's me, not you!
    Where do the imported photos go? Are they in the aether until you, somehow, find them and then drag them into an album? How do you find them?
    It seems that the strategy is to give an import an event name as the way to group them, but then I can't find the event. (It's usually mixed in with a bunch of dated events.)
    Here's the complication in this case. I have dozens of images in that Hubble folder. I'm in iPhoto. I'd like to import selected ones. I have to import them one at a time because I'm checking on which image is which. Then they get lost as they were taken, and saved/dated, at different times. I suppose my only recourse is to create the iPad Hubble folder first outside of iPhoto and then import them in one fell swoop.
    I know this will all sound ridiculous to those who use iPhoto regularly or simply just get it, but I'm lost in space--literally!
    Any suggestions on making my way back to Earth would be greatly appreciated!

    I have read through the explanation provided but unfortunately you just explained iPhoto.  I believe the original question was how do you import photos directly into an album and bypass "EVENTS" and "PHOTOS". 
    I know this an old thread but I need help in doing this.  I have my camera connected, and I have created an album specifically that I want these pictures to go into.  Any advise?  Thank you, 
    You can't do it.
    iPhoto works like iTunes. All the tracks are in the Library, each playlist contains references to the tracks in the Library. So a track can be in any number of playlists without using extra disk space.
    In iPhoto, all the phoots are in the LIbrary. Each Album contains references to the photos in the Library. So a photo can be in any number of Albums without using extra disk space.
    Events and Photos are views of the LIbrary. Two doors into the same room, as it were.

  • How do I move imported photos into an existing album in photos

    I have a large collection of photos in iPhoto, arranged into events and albums.
    If I now import from my camera i open up photos, not iPhoto.
    After importing images how do I add specific images to one, or more, of my existing albums.
    If I close photos and open iPhoto I can still import to iPhoto but the images do not appear in photos.

    peterfromrotherham wrote:

    Enable the Sidebar if it isn't showing (View menu > Show Sidebar), then drag the photos into the album icon on the sidebar.

  • How can I import photos into a specific album?

    Wow, I have been using Applescript for 15 years but I can't get this to work. I just want to make a script that brings a JPG image into iPhoto '09 into a specific album, but it seems set against letting me, and I can't find specific examples of what I'm trying to do so far.
    tell application "iPhoto"
    new album name "hello"
    add "Mac HD:Users:pp:mypic.jpg" to album "hello"
    end tell
    This doesn't give an error and it makes the album, but nothing else. Nothing is imported into iPhoto.
    Eventually I want to add a title and keyword data to that picture also using Applescript (hopefully not UI scripting), but since I can't get the barest basics of importing to work properly, I thought I'd see if anyone here could help.

    Peter
    I’ve never seens an AS that can do this. Hazel can and it might be worth examining it to see what you can learn.
    Automator can do this too, but there’s no way in that to add keywords or titles in that - though it is possible with Aperture and Automator.
    Given that we can go months on here without mention of AppleScript I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a better response on the AppleScript forum.

  • How to keep photos in folders when removing from iOS?

    I usually use Preview on Mac to import photos and delete them from the iPad. I've started putting photos in folders but this organization is not maintained on import. Is there a way to maintain this when importing? Or even better: is there a way to leave certain folders on the iPad and import/delete the rest?
    Of the photos that have been imported, is the folder data maintained somewhere so I can reorganize them? Maybe I need to find a better method of importing & deleting.

    iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture...but I have never heard of using Preview to import photos to the Mac.
    Folders/albums that you create in the Photos App on the iPad are for local organization on the device itself and will not import to your Mac. These folders/albums do not contain copies of the photos, but merely use pointers to the photos to make the pictures appear in these local albums. If you create new albums in the photos app and try to remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the folders as well.

  • How to import photos older than 18 months from ipad

    How do I import Photos from my ipad to my computer that are older than 18 months old?

    Hi Terence,
    thanks for your reply.
    i've scrolled, oh i've scrolled, I've gone through every individual picture that is displayed in the photos option, and through the events option and while it's true there are photos past 18 months, there are lots of photos that used to be in my iPhoto library that are now missing in action. 
    I also tried the Smart Albums, thanks for the suggestion, and nothing came up that was older than 2009.  I definitely have photos older than that and desperately need them.  Thoughts?

  • 2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

    So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
    Never had a problem with it.
    I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
    Never had a problem.
    1.
    Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
    iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
    Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
    iTunes Helper is used during startup.
    Everything seems fine.
    Any help?
    2.
    I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
    I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
    They haven't been transfering over.
    So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
    My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
    I do not know why.
    No idea how to fix it.
    If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
    I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
    Can anyone please help me with any of this?
    I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
    Thanks so much.

    hey mill1640,
    Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
    If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

    LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
    Thanks

    Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.

  • How to import photos into iphoto from backup drive to new computer

    2008 "Vintage"  iMac recently died. Data was saved on external hard drive. Purchased new iMac, OS 10.9.4, how to get old iphoto library from hard drive to new computer. Iphoto 9.5.1. Thanks

    Data was saved on external hard drive. Purchased new iMac, OS 10.9.4, how to get old iphoto library from hard drive to new computer.
    Teresa, in what way way the data saved to an external hard drive?  Do you have a copy of your iPhoto library on that drive? Or is it a clone of your old system drive ? A Time Machine backup?
    And which iPhoto version did you have on your old Mac?
    If your external drive holds a copy of your iPhoto library, you can simply connect this drive your new mac and drag the library over.  It will depend in the version of your old iPhoto, how you can open the the old library. If it is an iPhoto '09 or '11 library, you can aunch iPhoto with the options key held down and select the library as your new iPhoto library.  If the iPhoto version is older, you will have to ru the iPhoto Library Upgrader first.

  • How to import photos w/ comment sin tact from iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 8?

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of photos in iPhoto 5 with comments that I'd like to import into iPhoto 8. However, I seem to lose the comments when I do this. Is there a way to keep the comments?
    I tried to "Import" from within iPhoto 8. May next try to import the folder of files next.
    Thanks!
    --Ted

    I'm afraid there is no way to do this because iPhoto 5 had no way to write the comments to the file.
    The best you can is is
    Make a copy of the Library (You need to do this because in the next step we'll update the Library and v5 will no longer open it.
    Open the copy with iPhoto 08. This will update the Library.
    Use iPhoto Library Manager to move the files. versions and all metadata to the other library.
    Or, export the files, (File -> Export) and check the box at 'Titles and Descriptions' and then import them to 08.
    Regards
    TD
