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

  • 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?

  • 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,

    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.

  • I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    I have just used migration assistant to import photos (using an ethernet cable) from my PC. It has worked but they have gone into a new user on my MacPro. How can I merge them into the one user account.

    How many pictures (or how many bytes) are we talking?  Now that the pictures are imported one way to cross users is to use a removable drive (although large volumes of files preclude this).
    The other is to login as the user where the pictures are, then copy them into the public drop box of the user where you want the picture.
    The arrow is showing (in ths example) copy files from the Pictures folder for my user to the guest user accounts public dropbox.  When you do this you may have to authenticate and you won't be able to see the results of the copy until you log in as the other user.
    All users are in the folder "/Users/"

    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.

  • 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:

  • 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 containing a tag from elements?

    how to import photos containing a tag from adobe elements 8?

    Tags are keywords.
    Other metadata:
    There is no way to share Faces from one system to another. Places will happen automatically if your photos have the gps co-ordinates in the Metadata. Events are populted depending on the choices you make in the iPhoto Preferences.
    Again, I'm not sure exactly what you're hoping for here, sorry.

    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

    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.
