I want to download photos from Facebook to iPhoto

When I click "download" while viewing a friend's wall photo in facebook, it doesn't go anywhere. I'd like it to open in iPhoto. Is this possible?

No - you can only import photos into iPhoto - download photos to a desktop folder and then import to iPhoto - note that the quailty of Facebook photos is very low

Hi Mark...
Right or control click an image then select: Add Image to iPhoto Library.

In OSX 10.9.5 (mavericks) want to export photo from Facebook to IPhoto 09 8.1.2

I am running Mavericks -- I have OSX 10.9.5 -- I want to export a photo from Facebook to IPhoto 09 8.1.2. I tried to drag and drop -
didn't work.

Didn't work for me. Anyone else have an idea????
I guess the only possible answer is using the same level of detail as the question - "then you need to fix it"

I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer to the IPad. The instructions say to put photos under My Pictures, but I have thousands of photos in that category. I don't want to download all my photos, just the newest ones. Help!

I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer. However, I have thousands of photos stored under My Pictures on my desktop. How can I transfer just the newest album to my IPad? I'm afraid that all the photos will be downloaded. Please advise.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

HT3258 After downloading Mac OS X I can no long download photos from Safari to iPhoto. How do I fix this problem?

I downloaded Mac OS X Mountain Lion and now I can't download photos from Safari to iPhoto.

Open iPhoto and then try it. I got the same error message you did when I tried to download an image. iPhoto then opened and I was able to add the image. Not exactly perfect.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Trying to download photos from camera to iPhoto, get "unreadable" message

Am trying to download photos from camera to iPhoto, and iPhoto won't take the photos, saying "unreadable files". I've downloaded from this memory card and camera before. Why is it now saying my photos are "unreadable" and how do I correct it?

Have you tries Image capture (in your applications folder)?
Will the camera mount to the desktop?
When did you last reformat the card?

Hi Terry,
There is no way which is direct where you can download the pictures from Facebook.
But you can always save the file as jpg from facebook and then open in Photoshop.

HT4908 Just purchased iPad 2,want to download photos from MacBook.we have different e-mail address. Does this cause a problem?

Finding my way around my new ipad2. I have an iCloud account to transfer photos from our MacBook to my iPad. Having problems doing this.

Hi
1. To download Photos from your Macbook to your iPad you use iTunes to sync photos. And to download photos from your iPad2 to your computer you use a USB cable and iPhoto on your Mac.
2. For Photostream both devices need to be on the same iCloud Apple ID to allow Photostreaming to work. Is that what you mean by downloading? Photostream ismore commonly used to share photos bwteen devices
iCloud is only supported on newer versions of OSX - what version is your Macbook running?
What is the exact problem you are having??
Cheers

Problems downloading photos from camera to iPhoto

All -- I'm running iPhoto 6 on a Mac Mini with the latest version of OS10. I have a Canon PowerShot G3 and shoot 4-megapixel JPEG photos, and AVI movies. Downloading photos from the G3 to the Mac is slow, and deadly slow (as is 15 minutes or more) when there's an AVI movie or two mixed in with JPEGs. I've had to abort several downloads when they just flat out stalled.
Today when downloading a total of 58 JPEGs and 6 AVI's I got an error message - "unreadable files". 51 JPEGS and 3 AVIs downloaded fine. 7 JPEGS and 3 AVIs didn't download. The error message says "The following files could not be imported. They may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data."
Any help you all can offer would be much appreciated.
Greg

Isn't technology great? The more you learn, the more you need to learn more.
Have you viewed the iPhoto 6 tutorials? http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/iphoto/new.html The section on Organizing, "Add Ratings, Titles and Comments" could be helpful.
Click on the little blue i on the lower left of the iPhoto window, and the Info Panel should pop up. Select a picture, and it shows the info for it. Select a film roll's name, and you can see and edit the info for the whole roll. Click on the roll's title in the info panel to highlight it and you can type in a new name. You can edit the date of the roll this way, and it will affect how your rolls are listed in the library. The dates "from" and "to" are generated by the dates of the items within the roll. If you type comments about a roll they will be shown below the roll's name in the library when the roll is closed. I like to keep rolls that match my camera cards, but they can be very large. So I use comments to list the events contained in the roll, so I know which roll to open when I want to find a specific photo.
If you view your library in Film Roll view then you see the rolls' names with a little triangle to the left. As in the Finder, clicking on the triangle to make it point right conceales the contents of (closes) an item, while clicking on it to turn it down reveals the items inside the item.
Now the hard part - all those dates. If the dates and times are totally wrong, I would use iPhoto's Batch change to correct them. However, only iPhoto will recognize this date change, because it won't correct the real problem, which is that the EXIF info is wrong for those pictures. There are ways of changing EXIF info which involve downloading other programs, running batch changes, and re-imprting into iPhoto. I've never done it, but I searched the iPhoto 6 forum for "EXIF rename file info" and restricted by user name Old Toad. Try this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1734147&#1734147 and note Old Toad's last post about PhotoInfo.
If you don't mind about the EXIF, then you can just redate them within iPhoto. Select a series of photos from the same date, then go to the Photos menu and select Batch Change. Select Set Date. Type the correct date and give a time for the first picture. To force iPhoto to maintain the same order within the series, check Add 1 minute between each photo. This way, although the times will be wrong, at least they will have the correct chronological sequence. (Or type in the times manually after the batch change if the order is not correct.) I always do this with rolls of actual film I get processed at a store. The photo CD I get never has the correct dates or times, so I add these to at least get them to display in my library in the correct order. As far as I know, you have to run a seperate batch change for each date that you want to change to. Unless you have a series with one photo for each day and wish to check "Add X Days between each photo."
The highest rated member (very talented) of the iMovie forum, Karsten Schluter, still tells people he's just an amateur. We all learn what we need when we need it. I am grateful for the support on these forums. Let me know how it goes.

Problem downloading photos from iPhone to iPhoto on MacBook

I can't download photos from my iPhone 5 to iPhoto anymore. It comes up with an error message that says 'The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)' My software is up to date. The photos were taken on my iPhone, however there are also some photos that I have saved from other people who sent them as a text message. How can I save my photos please without loosing them? I have tried to save one image only, not all of them, and nothing work. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Downloading photos from email to iphoto

I have downloaded photos from an email in gmail (all .jpg) and they are in finder (actually in the iphoto file) and will open in preview, but I cannot transfer to iphoto library. I am using iphoto 6.06, OS 10.4.1. I get the message: unreadable files, the files could not be imported.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto is a database, and like any db, data must be imported into it. So putting it in the iPhoto Library Folder is not the way to do it. You should never do anything in there - there are no user serviceable parts there.
iPhoto will not import pics in the active iPhoto Library Folder as a sensible precaution against duplication.
So, move the file to the desktop and import from there.

When downloading photos from my camera, iphoto will unexpectedly quit. One help suggestion said to try deleting iphoto preferences, but I can't find them.

Iphoto unexpectedly quits while I am downloading photos from my camera. I logged in under a different name and it worked fine, whcih was one suggestion in my handbook. If that worked, which it did, the book suggests deleting iphoto prefences. But where are Iphoto preferences? I have looked high and low and cannot find them. Any other ideas? I have a boat load of photos in this primary user log in, so...maybe I need to increase iphoto's RAM, but how do I do that?

Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto?
How many is a "boatload"? There's no way to "increase iPhoto's RAM"

Download photos from facebook app

Is there a way to download photo's from Facebook albums onto camera roll?

Our application, SocialSafe - www.socialsafe.net, allows you to download your photos to your Mac - from there you can use iTunes to put into your phone - or anywhere else. At V1 you need to read our FAQs to see where we store them; at V2 due for release in Sept 2010 you have an export function to copy them easily to any directory.
