Import Albums/Photos from iPad to iPhoto

Hi Everyone. My iMac hard drive crashed with iPhoto and all my saved photos. Luckily, they are ALL synced to my iPad and a copy is saved there.
How do I import all these saved albums & photos from iPad back into iPhoto? It does not give me this option automatically when I connected my iPad.
Please advise.

How do i import my photos from iPad to my computer?

How do I import my photos from my ipad to my mac? It has imported some of them to iphoto but not all of them...Only what is in the photo stream

It should import the photos in the camera roll as well - or at least you should et the option to import photos from the camera roll into iPhoto.

Import of photos from iPad frozen and cannot close i photo or disconnect iPad

import of photos from i-pad to i-mac has stalled midstream. Cannot close i-photos or disconnect pad from mac. How do I proceed please?

Thank you Nick. I did a version of that by closing the pad, unplugging then force quit i photos. I am very new to i Mac but learning fast. The Mac opened in I photos when I plugged in the pad, not I tunes as normal. As soon as opened I tunes then plugged in the pad, it all fell into place.

Import photos from iPad to iPhoto keeping album structure

Hi All,
I have an iPad 2 with a camera connect kit. I've imported and organised several hundred photos using the kit and the iPad. I just purchased a Macbook Pro and want to import those photos into iPhoto. The photos all imported, but the album structure has been lost. How can I import photos from my iPad into iPhoto (or some other application) while keeping the album structure?
Thanks,
John.

Iphoto won't import new photos from ipad

It showed 20 photos which I then imported into iPhoto from my iPad.
But there are MANY more which have not been previously imported into iphoto
How can I get those photos FROM my iPad into iPhoto on my mac?????

You can only import photos that are in the camera roll into iPhoto on your Mac. If the photos are in the photo stream, you have to save them to the camera roll before you can import them. Does what I am describing fit your situation?

Sync photos from ipad to iphoto

OK - here is my problem.
First - I sync'd my ipad with my imac and put ONE photo album, from iphoto, onto the ipad
Second - I used the photo application on the ipad to create a "new album" on the ipad and i moved a subset of that ONE original photo album into the new album.   So...there were 1000 photos in the original album and I reviewed them and picked the top 200 and they are in the new album.
Third - I want to "transfer" or "sync" that NEW album (with just the 200 photos) back onto my imac iphoto application.   I want to continue to edit the new album with 200 photo's - but I am going to edit them in iphoto on my imac.
I cannot figure out how to do the third thing.   I cannot figure out how to move that new photo album from my ipad to my imac. The choices provided by the photo application on the ipad are no good - the only possible one is email but this email would be HUGE....200 photos.
Can anyone figure this out?

Alex, any response from Apple?
The only solution to this I can think of:
1. Use PhoneView utility on Mac, to 'view' contents of iPad's photos - including albums.
2. Drag _each album_ from phone view, to its own folder on Mac. Note, this will result in wasted hard drive space, if a photo on the iPad is in two separate albums. On the iPad it's of course just storing a reference to the actual file, in each album. But when you drag over each album to the Mac, it will copy *all the actual photos* - for each album.
3. When done, quit PhoneView, open iPhoto. For each album you copied, drag _its folder, named how you want it named_ into the Albums section of iPhoto sidebar. I haven't tested this yet, but I think - iPhoto will create a new album with that name, and try to import those pictures. Of course, it already has the pics. So it'll ask you whether to ignore duplicates. You'll say yes. But then (hopefully) it'll still create the album, with the references to the originals (that it already has), and not import them again. So this part at least is blessedly fast.
Done. But! Then, you'll have to repeat this process *forever*, any and every time in the future, that you make any changes to albums *on the iPad*.
So -- it's like, giving us the ability to create albums *on the iPad* is basically, giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves. There's no way, to get those albums to be 'linked' to albums on iPhoto. It'll always be a static hack/kludge, as I've outlined above -- *if* what I'm suggesting here works, which I'm not sure. I'll be testing this today, for a client who, no surprise, took advantage of this <irony>GREAT</irony> feature on iPad, to be able to create albums on the iPad itself. <disappointed>Thanks a lot for one more half-baked effort Apple.</d>.
I mean, unless I'm missing something. Super happy to be proved wrong here. But, as far as I can tell there's no way in iTunes (the way to sync), to do this. Doing an internet search for this, i.e.:
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transfer+photo+albums+"ipad+to+iphoto"
returns *very few* results, this support discussion being one of them.

Import error moving from iPad to iPhoto

Somewhat puzzled by the inability to import photos from my iPad to iPhoto.
Here's what happened:
1. Used camera connector to transfer high-def JPG format files from a Nikon D50 onto the iPad (no problem, and the *iPad displays the pictures* perfectly).
2. Attach iPad to Mac and start iPhoto.
3. iPad is shown as attached and import window is displayed, correctly showing 176 photos to be imported but *no images are displayed*, only the dotted outline boxes.
4. Attempt 'Import All...' and an *import error is shown listing all 176 JPG files* as not imported.
5. Start Image Capture utility and attempt 'Import All', same error is reported.
6. Attempt selecting just one photo and importing just selected item (fails in both iPhoto and Image Capture with the same import error).
It looks like the iPad can read the JPG files but for some reason the Mac cannot.
Setup details:
iPhoto '08 v7.1.5
Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.2
iPad running iOS v3.2
Image Capture v6.0.1
Any ideas?
Regards,
Mark

Updated to OS X 10.6.4 and everything seems to work correctly.

How to import a photo from desktop to iphoto

How can I import psd photos from Elements into iPhoto?

I cannot import psd photos into iPhoto without saving them to the desktop, which is a real hassle (hundreds of photos). Am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks for any advice.

I may be preaching to the choir here but this might be of help to you:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 or later the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (click on the Edit button) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and select "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

Importing existing photos from folders into iPhoto ends up duplicating files

I am new to the Mac and iPhoto and am trying to test some things out with iPhoto. I have copied exisiting photos from my old PC into the Mac Pro in various folders and now want to import them into iPhoto. However, it seems when I do that, I end up with duplicate files .... with the original in a /pictures/folder and the iPhoto version buried deep in a master folder in the iPhoto library. Is there a way I can easily import these existing photos into iPhoto without ending up with duplicates? I realize it's better to have two copies than one but will actually have two or three back up copies too. Any advice appreciated! thanks!

That is how it is supposed to work. iPhoto will be the photo manager and will also manage all image files. If you are using iPhoto forget about the extra folders with image files in Pictures and use only iPhoto to access the photos.
See the user tips on how to access the photos in iPhoto from other applications: (iPhoto for Mac)
How to Access Files in iPhoto
iPhoto and File Management
Exporting From iPhoto
If you do not want a photo manager and prefer the Finder, use PICASA. But give iPhoto a chance. It is very versatile and in the long run much saver than letting image files sitting around in open folders. You have always access to your photos from other applications using the provided tools, like the Media Browser.

Import enhanced photos from iPhone to iPhoto

How do I import enhanced (red-eye corrected, cropped, tinted) photos from my iPhone (iOS7) to iPhoto? I see the iPhone appearing in iPhoto but when I import the photos only the original is copied. The "enhanced" version do not show up in iPhoto.

Hello bbb34vball,
Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:

If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.

I can not import my photos from iphone into iPhoto

hi,
I've amassed around 18Gbs of photos and videos on my iphone and have never been able to import them!
In the old iphoto it would start importing then stop (deleting photos imported so far) since upgrading to Lion I can't even see the iphone appear in iphoto.
BTW I'm really trying to back the phone up so I can more to the iphone 5 - but that's failed (well I gave up after 6 hours!) so I thought I would import photos and speed up the backup process..
Why is this so hard!
Any tips?
J

Some suggestions:
Restrart the Phone, if that fails reset the phone.
Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder)

My iPhoto library has frozen on STOP button (L.H.S.)-also unable to trsfs photos from iPad to iPhoto on laptop - I need help

While making a movie this afternoon I needed more info, so thought I would print out the page. Then realized it was all the photos in movie that was being printed so I hit the red stop button on iPhoto library - this is when iPhoto screen froze on me - I need help ?????

There is no red stop button on iPhoto, so I'm not sure what you're saying here. Perhaps you mean the stop button on the printing software? Also, iPhoto doesn't make movies? Do you mean slideshow? Or were you exporting a slideshow? Sorry but this is just not clear. What version of iPhoto? of the OS?

Can't finish importing photos from iPhone to iPhoto

I have about 2,000 pictures in my iPhone 4.
When I try to import my photos from iPhone to iPhoto Library, it stops importing after about 250 photos. Keeps saying 1,489 remaining(something like that) photos and the picture image on your iPhoto stops or freeze there. (Normally you can see what's importing into your iPhoto)
Tried rebooting the MacPro Tower and iPhone. My computer is up to date.
I was not sure if I had corrupted photo images, so I deleted bunch of photos around where iPhoto would stall.
I have no idea what's going on. Could someone please help me?
Thanks,

Try use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to move the files to the Desktop and import from there.
Regards
