I want to sync my photos to iphoto but i dont want to loose the albums i have created on my iphone, can this be done? or will i loose albums?

Need a little help...
I am normally the person people go to for help but i need it now!
I got a new iphone 5c in feb and its been great. I downloaded the iphoto app and my pictures didn't appear. Is this because i hadn't got it to automatically sync to iphoto when plugged in my mac?
also i don't want to loose any albums i have made on my iphone. Please can someone advise. You may end up telling what i know but i needed to check, thanks!

Syncing between iPhoto on your iPhone and iPhoto on your Mac is one-way.  You can sync selected albums, events, faces, places albums from your Mac to iPhoto on your iPhone using iTunes. This will not delete any albums you created on your iPhone, just add new albums. But albums you create on your iPhone cannot be synced to your Mac.
See this page on how to transfer photos from iPhoto on your iPhone to your Mac:

  • HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
    In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
    More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.

    Hey baby birch
    You are able to sync purchased content from your iDevice to a new computer as long as the comptuer is authorized
    To authorize the computer follow these steps
    At the topi of the screen next to File- Edit -View, click store then Authorize this computer.
    Enter in your appleID email address and password and click authorize
    **If you do not see the File Edit View option, At the very top left corner you should see a little square click the square and click show menu bar.
    Now that your computer is authorized click the file menu button, then click Devices, then go to your iPhones name and then click Transfer purchases this will allow you to transfer all of your purchased content to the computer
    Now if you want to transfer your non purchased content to the computer you can do so if you have wif and the previous computer on the same network as the new computer with home sharing

  • HT1430 i want to reset my whole i pod but i dont want to get rid of my photos or songs

    hi

    Sync it to your Mac or whatever device was used to originally obtain your songs first.
    Import all your photos to iPhoto or whatever you would use for a digital camera.
    Then, you can safely restore your iPod to its factory new condition. If yours is the current production iPod Touch iOS 7.1 will be installed and you will not be able to reinstall iOS 6. If in doubt of which model you have, write back.

  • My husband just got an IPAD and I have and I phone...Can more than one player sign in and play games on the I pad?  (Example we both play tap fish...I want to sign into the game center and play my fish tanks )  Can this be done?

    Can more than one player use the game center?  I have an I phone and my husband just got the I pad I want to play my games on his i pad can I do this?(example  we both play tap fish and tap hotel can I sign out of his login and sign into mine and play my game this way?)

    If tap fish was an app purchased by both you can do that. If you yourself just purchased it and it's on the iPad, the iPad won't let you open it under your husbands I'd.since you have the rights, you bought it, it must be your apple I'd logged in. To do that go to settings, store, taptheapple I'd..sign out and sign in with yours. The gamecenter signing out and in will only help if youwant achievements or to play with your friends.

  • When I create a Calendar Invite .... Example 3:00 ... the email the invitee receives says 7:00 pm GMT but when she accepts is shows the correct time of 3:00pm.   How can this be fixed so the email and calendar are in sync?

    When I create a Calendar Invite (Example 3:00 pm EST) ... the email the invitee receives reads 7:00 pm GMT.   But when she opens her calendar the time is posted correctly.   How can I get the email and calendar to show the same time?

    Internally, all calendar items are based on GMT... That's how you can send an invitation to someone in a different time zone, for a conference call, for example, and end up on the phone at the same time even though you may be many hours apart by the clock...

  • Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

    Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

    If you have iPhoto v9.6.1 then just launch it. Done.
    IF you don't, download it:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?

    How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?
    I have Yosemite 10.10.2 running on a 2008 iMac
    I have an iPad MD513B/A running version 8.1.2
    On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,  and iTunes is 12.0.1.26
    I used to be able to sync photos from iPhoto (last 3 Events) through iTunes to iPad. 
    Where has that option gone?  iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that.  So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks. 
    I can sync from iPhoto to my Classic iPod but that option has been removed from iTunes for the iPad by the look of it.  I want it back so I can manage what I download to my iPAD.
    Please can someone advise me how to restore the option to sync my recent photos from iPhoto to iPad. 

    Where has that option gone?  iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that.  So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks.
    Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPad? Switching on the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) disables the syncing of Photos with iTunes.
    On your iPad check the Settings > Photos&Camera.  Disable "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)", if you want to sync your photos with iTunes or upload your photos using "My Photo Stream".
    On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,
    Is there a reason why you did not update to iPhoto 9.6? That is the version, that includes the compatibility updates for Yosemite.

  • TA22992 Trying to sync new photos from iphoto withou having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already try "selected albums, events, etc" no

    Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

    If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
    You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

  • I want to move my photos from iPhoto to Time Capsule to make space on my computer.  What's the best means of doing this?

    I want to move my photos from iPhoto to Time Capsule to make space on my computer.  What's the best means of doing this?

    Please do not do this.
    The Time Capsule was designed for your backups.....not as an everyday hard drive. Access to the Time Capsule is slow.
    If there is any loss of connection between iPhoto and the iPhoto library when you are reading or writing, the entire iPhoto library is easily corrupted.
    The chances of corruption are even more likely if you are using wireless on the computer.
    And....even if you decide to risk this....if you move your "original" iPhoto library to the Time Capsule.....how will you make backups of the library?
    The only copy of the library will be on the Time Capsule....you have no backups.....when, not if, the Time Capsule has a problem.
    Simply stated, I would never do this with any important data that you cannot afford to lose. Please post in the iPhoto support area if you need to confirm this.
    iPhoto
    If you do want an idea of how to move your iPhoto library correctly, post back and we can help.
