Im having troubles importing my photos from my iPhone to my mac iPhoto because they're not in my camera roll. It;s saying they're in my 'mac events' but my computer isn't recognizing it. Does anyone know what to do? please help.

I just got a new macbook and before i had to sync all my photos from my old mac onto a bunch of flash drives and most are on my phone. Ive successfully imported the flash drives and the photos on my camera roll to my new macbook iPhoto but not the other 1,000+. My computer isn't recognizing it maybe because its in 'mac events'. Does anyone know what to do? Please help it would be greatly appreciated especially since i don't have much room left on my iphone anymore. thank you.

You'll need third party software to get the images not on your camera roll. iExplorer is one such app, but there are others. Search on MacUpdate

I am having trouble getting my photos from my iPhone to my PC.

I am having trouble getting my photos from my iPhone to my PC. My iPhone no longer shows up in my Windows Explorer, and I can't get them from iTunes or iCloud either. The Photo Stream folder is empty. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Razmee. Actually the phone is synching, but only apps and music. There's no way I can find to get my photos through iTunes. When I go to the photos option in iTunes, I can only synch the photos from my computer to the iPhone and not vice versa (which I don't understand why it would ever be necessary to move photos from the computer to the phone, but oh well). I use to get my photos by accessing the phone itself from Windows Explorer, but now the phone won't appear in Explorer for some reason. I also tried connecting from the Photo Stream folder on my PC, but it was still empty even after it seemingly connected. I just want to move my photos to my PC without having to email each one individually.

How do I import my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, when I press import I just get a message saying there is something wrong with one of my photos and disconnects my iPhone.

I couldn't find Image Capture at my first try, butI will try again. Do you inow how I can find the corrupted photo on my iPhone? Im a bit lost..
Sorry, I just noticed, I made a mistake. "Image Capture" is in the Applications folder, not Utilities. And it may have a different name on your Mac, if your system language is not English: Look for the icon with the camera:
When Image Capture can import from your iPhone, spilt the folder with the imported photos in several small subfolders and try to import them separately to iPhoto. This way, you can identify a subset of photos with the corrupted one.
Then try to import from that small subset one by one, until you hit the culprit. And then delete that photo or video from the phone.

I am having problems updating my iPhoto on my MacBook Air, please help?

I started to update iPhoto on my MacBook Air, but I had bad wifi at home so I paused it. But now that I have good and fast wifi, I press Resume and it asks for my apple ID, so I put it, but then it says that the connection failed, can someone please help!

Back up all data.
Quit the App Store application if it's running. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
open $TMPDIR../C
Press return. A folder should open. From that folder, delete the subfolder named "com.apple.appstore".
Launch the App Store and try again.

Trouble importing keywords/photos from old version of iPhoto

I'm trying to import photos with their ratings & keywords from my old Mac that has iPhoto version 6.0.6. I copied the iPhoto folder from old Mac to Pictures folder in User on new Mac, then imported that folder from new iPhoto. It only imported a fraction of the photos and none of the keywords or ratings came with.
Help and suggestions are most appreciated!

There's no importing involved.
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
You do not +import it to the new iPhoto+. You simply open the LIbrary with the new iPhoto and that updates it.

I am having trouble printing 11x14 photos from 9.5.1 iPhoto. Can someone please tell me what to select?

I am unable to find how to print a 11x14 photo through 9.5.1 iPhoto. there are different page selections but I cannot find what to select.

In the Print window don't you have this option?
If not bring up the Print window from any other application, like Preview, select Manage Custom Sizes under Paper Size:
There you can add a custom size with the margins set as you want:
But if you say it supports 11 inch wide paper stock it should have an 11 x 14 layout.

Trouble importing stored photos from 60g ipod to iphoto.

I downloaded 500 photos while on vacation to 60 g ipod. I go to iphoto and select import which opens a window but don't know where to locate the stored photos.
imac G5 and 60g ipod Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello there.
Your photos will be stored on your iPod in a folder, much like they have already been saved on a hard drive. From the Finder, locate your iPod icon. If you do not see one, you need to go into iTunes, go to the iPod preferences and tell it to mount on your desktop.
Once you see the iPod folder on your desktop, double click it to open, and locate the folder that contains the photos you stored on it. Drag this folder to your iPhoto window, and they will be imported.
If you find this useful or if it solves your problem, please indicate this by clicking in the appropriate icon above this reply.

I'm having trouble transferring my photos from my iphone to my computer.

I used to be able to do it and since the update, I haven't been able to.
I was trying to look at the iphone users guide, but it doesn't really tell me anything.
Can someone please help.
I run Windown XP
Thanks,
maggie

Thanks - worked like a charm! I wonder why the manual doesn't say anything about downloading images? I tried connecting wit bluetooth to try a file transfer, but got messages saying that my phone wasn't capable of any services. Any ideas? I made the phone "discoverable" and tried to set it up under the Bluetooh menu, but finally gave up.

Im having trouble exporting a file from cs3 to illustrator 6 (an earlier version). Please help.

I have an EPS file that was created with CS3 on a macbook leopard operating system and was saved according to the ( Adobe) instructions to the CD in illustrator 3.
Later I tried to open the CD on a Performa 6200 CD using a macOS 8.1 with Illustrator 6.0. When I opened the CD there was a closed lock on the top left corner of the window, the EPS file icon appeared as a gray paper not looking like your typical illustrator file. I then proceeded to click on the EPS file and a window appeared with this message: "The document "---" could not be opened, because the application program that created could not be found. Could not find a translation extension with appropriate translator".
If there is anyway that you can help out please respond, I am really desperate.
Thank you,

It sounds like your older performa might not know to open that EPS with illustrator. Try going into Illustrator and using File>Open. If that still does not work it may be that CS3 did not save down a version that will work with Illy 6. Options for saving a legacy EPS from CS3 are Illy ver 3, 8, 9, 10; so you would need to save down to 3.

I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

There is a whole lot of bad going on there.
There are problems both drive errors and USB errors. I don't believe it.
I have a hunch the drive is starving for power.
USB devices are supposed to function all the way down to 4.25V. Not all do.
USB ports are supposed to be able to deliver 4.25V at the end of the cable at 500mA. Not all do.
USB 2.0 devices are not supposed to draw more than 100mA unless they negotiate for more. Some violate that.
USB 2.0 devices are never supposed to draw more than 500mA. Some violate that. Especially disk drives.
My guess is that your drive is drawing excess current and the voltage drop through the port and cable are dropping you below 4.25; or at least below the voltage that your drive goes "Tango Uniform"[1]. Does your drive have the option for external power? If so try it. Following up on wtx's comment; USB 3.0 is capable of delivering more power. Also, some drives have used a cable that violates just about every aspect of the USB specification: A "Y" cable that plugs into two host ports to provide more power to the guest. I despise this solution with every fiber of my electrical engineering existence; never-the-less, you might try one.

1 - I saved my iphone on the mac.
2 - I restaure it with 5.0.1
3 - Itunes have restaured the origin ios 5.0.1 and use the save to restaure the apps, datas, photos...
After the restaure, the iphone was seen on itunes and iphoto and others...
Best regards, Henry.

When I import my photos from my iPhone 4S into iPhoto the location does not appear. I have to open the info button on the photo click "photo place" then "find on map" and then the location appears. How to I get the location to appear automatically?
