Import/copy to iPhoto a jpg from email

I'm trying unsuccessfully to import a jpg from an email into iPhoto. I've tried drag and drop. If i try to import from 'Down loads' the jgp is greyed out.

Save the jpg to your desktop and then try the drag & drop.

Copying an Iphoto Album&Project from one Mac to another

I have Iphoto 08 on both a macbook running 10.4.11 and IMAC running 10.5.1.
I was using the macbook to download and store all pictures until I got the IMAC.
I copied the Iphoto library to an external harddrive that is now attached to the IMAC and am accessing that library(option) key when launching Iphoto.
I was traveling with the laptop taking and downloading a lot more photos, while my wife was creating some albums and calender projects on the IMAC.
Now that I'm back I want to bring the new events from the laptop on to the IMAC or save the albums and projects on to the laptop so I can reback up the entire photo library (~18,000) photos. Is there an easy way to copy an album/project from one iphoto library to another or would it be simpler to copy new events?

You can do this best and most easily with iPhoto Library Manager

Importing Albums into iphoto

I just got the new aluminum macbook, and am transferring things from my old Powerbook G4 to my new macbook through an external hard drive. I was able to import all of my photos, but for some reason it wont let me import my albums. What should I be exporting from my old iphoto onto my harddrive to import my albums on the my new computer. This new iphoto wont let me import an xml file or any album things, just the photos...
Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
You don’t export or import anything.
Simply: Copy the iPhoto Library Folder from the Pictures Folder on the Old Machine to the same location on the New Machine.
Then Launch iPhoto. That’s it.

Sharing my iPhoto '09 Library from an External HD

I purchased an external drive, created a new user and copied photos from the internal drive. Faces does not work even though the message says that there are matches to confirm. There is just the spinning beach ball.
Prior to this, 2 users - each with their own log-in, accessed the photos on the internal drive.
I'm thinking that I copied the photos in error.

Did you copy the iPhoto LIbrary package from the Pictures folder to the external HD? Then launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed, select choose, go to the external HD and open the library there. Make sure the hard drive is formatted and setup as shown below:

Importing/copying edit points without combining them into a single clip

Am new to fcpx, I imported a clip and I am tring to import/copy all the edit points from a different clip's timeline to it's timeline without it joining all the edit points into a single clip. How do I do that?

Hi - thank you for replying, basicaly I am draging clips from the events browser into the timeline where I have been making my edits. So far I have an extended version of edits on the timeline and wanted to create a shorter version of the same edits without loosing the edits for the extended version.
So the way I am currently managing this is by creating a new event under the same project and then draging the clip (with all the edits from events browser) and droping it into the new event, in the events browser. This way I have a new copy of the same clip with all the edits preserved so that I can make changes to it after opening it on the timeline, this way without affecting the original extended version of edits which is now in a different event.
If there is a better way of doing this which I am not aware of, and as per your request I am adding an image of my timeline below :

HT2488 I imported pictures into iPhoto from my iPhone, when trying to find my pictures by clicking on iPhoto Library it is always empty. I had to create a new folder and copy the same exact pics in the new folder just to be able to access them.. help plea

I imported photos into iPhoto from my iPhone, however i cannot access them. When clicking on iPhoto Library where they should be stored the folder is blank but if i open up iphoto from the dock menu they appear. I had to create a new folder just to access them. help please, because making a new folder takes up unnecessary space.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

I am trying to transfer my photos from old mac to new mac. I copied the iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then imported it to the new iPhoto. It turned my 2000 photos into 12,000!! What happened?

And how do I turn off FACES?

I copied the iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then imported it to the new iPhoto. It turned my 2000 photos into 12,000!!
According to you youo did not do what I instructed - you said you imported the old library into th enew library which can easily take a 2000 photo library and turn it into 12,000 including two ro three versions of each photo pus all the face thumbnails
The correct procedure has NO importing involved
drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac
That is it

I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG". Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

I am getting the following error message when I try to import photos into iPhoto from my camera: "/private/var/folders/GB/GBl4wh8-ELqUVMI5dO-ryU TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSCF2033.JPG". Have already tried removing and reinstalling iPhoto to no avail.

Does this happen if you try to Import to Library within iPhoto, or is it when you connect your camera (and which is set to automatically use iPhoto) that this error message occurs?
If you open Image Capture > Preferences is iPhoto selected as the choice when a camera is connected?

How do I import ( copy) iPhotos from External Drive that contains the iPhoto library photos.

My old hard drive was failing and with the help of an Apple Consultant, I made a new library ( on external hard drive) and copied all the photo files off the iMac's internal drive to the external drive. Then the iphoto library was deleted from the hard drive and the internal hard drive was replaced.
Photo Storage is the name of the external drive as it is designated for photos only. Lightroom recognises the drive but does not see any of the photos. It says no photos available? Is there something I am missing.

Import is just a word for copying photos from the phone to a computer and not that different than what I do in Windows -- although I haven't compared the speed on a large number of photos. If you are importing and using iPhoto, you might try doing it with Image Capture which will allow you to copy them directly to an external drive. It may be faster than doing it to iPhoto but I haven't compared the speed. Instructions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 are shown below.
Connect the iOS device to the computer.
If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
Click Options.
Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
Click OK.
Click Download All.

IPhoto Won't Import JPGs from Photoshop CS2

Hello,
I find that if I save a JPG from PS CS2, it will open in Preview, and other applications, but will not import to iPhoto. I have read the other posts here on this topic, but they have not addressed my experience.
For me, it does not matter whether ".jpg" is added or not. If I open the file in Preview, and simply re-save it, with no other changes, it will import to iPhoto as usual.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Michael Morrison

Hello,
Thanks for your thoughts.
I do have color management turned on, and the profile is Adobe 1998, rather than sRGB. When I re-save the file in Preview, I am also saving it with Adobe 1998, so it does not appear to be the presence/absence of a profile, nor the type of profile (sRGB or Adobe 1998).
Further, the article you suggested indicates that this is a problem related only to Power PCs, and I have this trouble on botht Power PCs and Intel machines.
Further thoughts?
Thanks again,
Michael Morrison

I have just purchased a Nikon D7000 and iPhoto downloads jpgs but does not show them. It shows an empty frame. If you double click the frame it will show the image. I have tried importing images from the Nikon provided software and the same thing happens.

I just purchased a Nikon D7000. However, iPhoto does not display JPEG images. I seems to download ok, but displays only an empty box. Double clicking on the box opens the image in a single display window. It does the same thing when importing from Nikon's supplied software. Forget about handling RAW files. Now, I'm having difficulty importing JPGs from Photoshop files for slide shows or use in iMovie.

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?

Iphoto crashes when I try to import from email or iphone. What do I do?

I have the latest iPhoto and IOS for iPhone. As of October, I have been unable to import photos to iPhoto. It crashes. What do I do? I am afraid I'll lose my library. Can I trash and re-install iPhoto without losing anything? Thanks

I solved my own problem. I searched again through the Apple support site (sorry Eric, that sounded awfully complicated.) I found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4095
"If you have the 3ivx QuickTime plug-in installed, iPhoto 9.2 may quit unexpectedly when enabling Photo Stream or importing photos. This plug-in may have been installed automatically, as it is included with the software bundled with some Flip video cameras.
Products Affected
iPhoto, 3ivx
Resolution
Update to iPhoto 9.2.1. Please see About updating iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand for more information about updating iPhoto.
Note: After installing iPhoto 9.2.1, Flip video clips may not play correctly in iPhoto. An updated version of the Flip video software, available from the Flip support site, should restore video playback in iPhoto."
I hadn't remembered that I downloaded iPhoto from the App store so that Software Update didn't update it.
Any way, it solved my problem and might help someone else.
Thanks for the support. Andrea

Can't import/copy photos from disk

Hi,
My friend used her PC to make me CDs of hundreds of photos from out trip to Spain. When I pop in the disk into my MacBook Pro I can see all the images perfectly fine in my Finder but I can't figure out how to copy them or import them to iPhoto or anywhere else on my mac. I'm relatively new to Mac so I'm hoping it's just my lack of skill? All the images have the extension JPG.
How can I transfer them onto my macbook? Please help and thank you!!

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
In the File menu in iPhoto, you can choose to "Import to Library" and select the disc to be imported. If that doesn't work (due to the Windows format), you can (maybe) open the disc for importing and select all to import.
If that still doesn't work, you can go to the disc in the Finder. Open it, select all the photos (Command + a), and drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock.
One way or another, if they're showing up for you in the Finder, it can be done.

Hard drive fails when importing to iPhoto or copying old iPhoto files

I am running a 2012 MBP (2.6 i7, 10GB ram). Just installed two new drives:
- 250GB SSD that has only the OS and apps.
- 1TB HGST drive formatted GUID Mac OS Extended Journaled (installed in the cdrw drive space-I had a previous drive working there with no issue)
My iPhoto library contains over 57K+ photos and is 348GB in size.
I copied about 500GB of data to the HGST drive and then started to copy my iPhoto library to the drive from my Time Machine folder (I could not figure out how to get Time Machine to restore just my photos to the HGST drive). After awhile I got an error saying the drive had unmounted and to not do that in the future. The first time I was able to remount it and try again. The second time the drive came unreadable and would not repair. So I reformatted and started over. After another failed attempt, I decided to try to copy the files form Time Machine to a different, external drive. That worked fine.
Then, I attempted to copy the iPhoto library from that external drive to the HGST drive and it failed again.
Finally I decided to just take all of the Originals out of the iPhoto file and put them in a different directory. Then I created a new library on the newly reformatted HGST drive. I then attempted to import the photos to the new iPhoto library. It seemed to be going fine. I left for 40 minutes, returned and the drive was again dismounted and not recognized at all in Disk Utility )I think it will reappear once I restart.
I am able to get the iPhoto library to come up on the old external drive. It wants to rebuild the thumbnails when I start it. It does that, but not all of the thumbnails show up. I ran the repair utility and rebuilt the database. I have not tried the last rebuild option on it yet. I am hoping someone has a clue as to what might be the issue (my best guess is a/some bad images that are toasting the library. But before I spend countless more hours searching for bad images by importing in batches (which could turn into days of trial and error if it keeps munching my drive.
The part that gets me is that I can import my music (iTunes and Logic files) of 400GB or so without a hitch. I am concerned that repeated crashing of the drive might cause errors (I am not that hardware savvy to know...)
Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you.

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Can't import jpgs from original file

I installed iPhoto6 (previous was 5) and it put my original photos into an original file (all jumbled together... not very nice of apple). I want to put some original jpgs from the original photo file (I made sure I own it and it is not locked) into iPhoto go get ready for iMovie. But, a box appears with "Unreadable Files: 1
The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)"
I would like:
#1 my old organization back so I can fine a folder with my original pictures from my camera by date
2# at least be able to drag a picture from an original file to iPhoto
3# within iPhoto, view my photos from the date of 2001, month of 2 and day of 23.
Thanks

try iphoto 6 discussion board... this one is for iP4!
