how do I drag photos from iphoto to photo stream?

Simply select the photo or photos you wish to add to photo stream from the album you are viewing and drag them onto the photo stream listing under the 'recent' heading on the left-hand side of iPhoto when you see a blue box surrounding the listing drop the photos you have dragged.
Alternatively, select the photos and use the 'share' button in the bottom right corner of iPhoto and choose photo stream from the list that appears.

  • 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)?

    Enable PhotoStream in iCloud first, then add the photos to PhotoStream in iCloud. Of course, you will need PhotoStream also enabled on your other devices also in order to view them.

  • Uploading photos from iPhoto to Photo Stream

    Hi, I'm trying to upload photos from iPhoto '11 (9.4.2) on my iMac onto Photo Stream. It's a set of 43 imported directly into iPhoto from a USB stick, so not taken on any iOS device connected to the same iCloud account.
    Photo Stream is enabled in iPhoto and is working fine with the preferences I've selected - I'm not using automatic upload for all new photos.
    I've selected and dragged the photos from their Event in iPhoto onto Photo Stream in the sidebar under RECENT. This behaves as I would expect and when I select Photo Stream and look at the contents it says Uploading 43 photos to the right of the title at the top of the Photo Stream window. However it said that 15hrs ago and they're still not there!
    The only thing I can think of is whether the date the photos were taken (19-Feb-13) is relevant - they were updloaded on the 12-Apr-13.
    Any help would be appreciated, I couldn't find anything out there that alreadyprovided a solution.

    If you have your iPhoto/Photo Stream setup as shown in this screenshot
    you can delete the photos from the Photo Stream and they will be safe in your iPhoto LIbrary.
    But I would check each monthly Photo Stream Event in the library to confirm that they are safely in the Event before deleting from the Photo Stream.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite how do I get my photos from IPhoto to Photos?

    I did not realize when I took the Yosemite upgrade that IPhoto would no longer work.  How do I get my photos into the new Photos application?
    So far no luck.

    Actually... you need to hold down the "option" key while starting  up Photos... Then follow the steps to select the iPhoto library... You should copy the iPhoto library to the Pictures folder (from the iPhoto folder) and it will convert it and you'll be up and running in a short bit... If your library is large, it can take quite a while to convert and load... be patient.... real patient! but it does work! This method will leave both versions useable, and at some point you'll want to delete the iPhoto stuff (to save space on the hard drive, if nothing else..) I copied my working iPhotos library onto an external hard disk, then used the "App Delete Lite" app to make an archived zip file on the same external drive.... in case I ever need to go back to the iPhotos option... It worked great!

  • How do I import photos from iphoto to photos?

    I'd just like to know how to import my photos from the iPhoto app to the new photo app?

    I had the same issue.  When I started up the Photos app it did not automatically start the import from my iPhoto library like it did on my work Mac.  Turns out the Photos app was seeing two iPhoto libraries.  One on my main disk and one on my Carbon Copy back-up disk.   I quite the Photos app and restarted this time holding down the Option-Alt key.  This allowed me to select the correct iPhoto Library for importing.
    As a side note after I quite the Photos app I moved the Photos library to the trash (since I did not start using it yet) so that I would not get a Photos Library 2 file.

  • IPhoto 04 can't show photos from iPhoto 06 photo DVD?

    On my iBook is still iPhoto 04, it takes photos on photo CDs only when they were created in iPhoto 04, newer burned CDs or DVDs with iPhoto 05 or iPhoito 06 doesn't load as photo CD in the sources area. Any ideas?

    Hi, c.a.b. Older versions of iPhoto can't read iPhoto Libraries that were created by newer versions, because the structure of the iPhoto Library has changed from version to version to provide new features and greater flexibility. To receive photos on CDs from an iPhoto 5 or iPhoto 6 user, you'll need to ask the sender to export the pictures from iPhoto and then burn the CD in the Finder — just as they would do when sending photos to a Windows user. You will then be able to import the pictures into iP 4 with no problem.

  • HT204655 Photos App crashes every time I try to migrate my photos from iPhoto

    I just installed the Yosemite update and the Photos App.  Every time I try to migrate my photos from iPhoto the Photos App crashes at about 20% complete.  Is there a work around for this?

    Have you tried the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on your Library?
    If you don't have a current backup, make a backup of your iPhoto Library and then run the  iPhoto Library First Aid Tools   to repair the permissions and to repair the database.
    To repair hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto application in the Applications folder  to launch the iPhotos Library First aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    The select "Repair database".  Repeat with "repair Permissions".
    If it still does not suffice, repeat with "Rebuild Library".
    If it still does not work, download our Swiss-Army.Knife for library emergencies: Fat Cat Software – iPhoto Library Manager
    The free trial option will let you rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    Then try to migrate the rebuilt library to photos.
    You do have enough free storage on the disk with the iPhoto Library?  Migrating needs temporarily additional storage.

  • I am trying to move a "face" photo from IPhoto to the picture well in a contact in my "Contacts".  Can't drag directly from iPhoto to picture well.  How do I do it?

    I am tring to move a "face" photo from IPhote to the picture well in a contact from my "Contacts list". I followed directions in Help but Cannot double click the picture well then drag a photo.  It won't accept it directly from IPhoto. Once you double click on the picture well then click on the photo (in another application-IPhoto) it apparently negates the double click on the picture well.   The only place it will take a picture from is the "recents" that you get when you double click on the picture well in contacts.  How do I get the photo to the "recents" or to the picture well?

    Hi cavu10horses,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
    Select a picture:
    Drag an image to the picture well.
    Click Camera to take a picture.
    If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
    If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
    Click Edit to edit the picture.
    To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
    To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
    To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
    Click Done.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

    I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • How do I select multiple photos from iPhoto and upload them to a Facebook album?

    I have transferred ALL my photos from my iPhone into my Mac. They are now in iPhoto. I recently created an album and I want to put the photos from iPhoto into it, but not all the photos. I have quite a lot of photos to put in, and I don't know how to select multiple photos and put them in the album. Help me please!

    Create  an album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag the 4 photos into it.  Open the albume and select all four photos and click on the Share button.  Next select Email and go from there.

    How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

    It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card.  Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.
