Import from I Photo

Just recently got a Mac Book Pro, imported everything from old g4 to new computer. Once import was finished, switched to Aperture from Ilife 11.
Aperture is not showing that it imported my Folders, Books and Mobile Me galleries from I photo, does it normally import those things or do I have to reset them up?
Then if I delete the iphoto library to save disc space will i loose my mobile me galleries?

Yes you will lose all your unique iphoto items in the iphoto library if you delete it, I would hold onto it for several months until you are SURE you can part with it. For example, slideshows are the same between the two apps so those come over but book albums are not, and Aperture doesn't have cards and calendars at all. For your mobile me galleries, try logging into your mobile me account on the web and and in the galleries area, select the albums and reset their type from iphoto to aperture. The open aperture and sync.

  • Import from Corel Photo Album 6

    I'd like to import a library of a few thousand photos from Corel Photo Album 6 into iPhoto '08. The photos in Photo Album include a Picture Title which is stored in the Photo Album database, not in the photo file and is different from the File Name.
    Is there a way to import the photos and the Titles into iPhoto '08?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't think so unless there's a way to get Corel to write the titles to the files.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why do I get two images when importing from i-photo into aperture

    Guys
    I am a new convert to Mac's and am a keen amateur photographer ,I have transfered my photo library from my old pc into i-photo initially which worked fine and for my photo editing package I have loaded up aperture 3.When I transfer RAW photos from I-photo library into Aperture I end up with two raw images of the same photo one is called 'i-photo original raw' and the other ' i-photo edited raw ' I think I am probably missing a trick somewhere but am worried I will rapidly fill up file space with all these raw images.

    When you import a Raw to iPhoto it automatically makes a jpeg Preview of the shot. Why? Because you can't do anything with Raw - can't print it, share it online, use it in other apps etc. So to allow you to use the file immediately the Preview is available. That's the second file you're getting.
    You're not trying to use iPhoto and Aperture together are you? It's a waste of time and a cause of some frustration. Aperture is a complete replacement for iphoto, and you're really better off picking one horse to ride and forget about the other. Like iphoto, Aperture is a Photo Manager and post processor - but rather more powerful. Both apps are database driven. Aperture is not an "editing package".
    If you do opt to stay with iPhoto then use an editor like Photoshop, Elements, Acorn, Pixelmator etc as your editng package.

  • Importing from "Windows Photo Gallery"

    New User,
    failed to find an answer after 30 minutes of searching the discussion groups. So here goes:
    Just got my first Mac and I have successfully imported 18,000 photos which I managed on my windows vista box using "Windows Photo Gallery".
    The problem is none of the tags were imported as keywords. Anyone have a clue if this is possible or what I am missing?
    Cheers

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Can you force your Windows app to write those keywords to the IPTC data on the files? If not then I'm afraid you're out of luck.

  • Imported from 'my photos' folders created in windows.

    I am new to mac, and have imported folders and sub-folders from 'myphotos' created in windows. THe Folders were originally created in a tree type structure in the hierarchy year - month - date making it easy to find stuff (so long as I remembered the date. But importing into iphoto has lost the tree structure, and I would like to try to recreate this, but I don't seem to be able to make sub-folders. Can this be done in iphoto? if so how?

    Although there is no need to do so making a date based folder structure is trivial
    Given that dates are often the worst way to find photos ((so long as I remembered the date) and that with iPhoto you can instantly pull up all of the photos from any date or date range using the search window in the lower left.
    To do what you want make the folders you want (file menu ==> new ==> folder) and then make smart albums (file menu ==> new ==> smart album) for each sub date range you want - place the albums in the appropriate folders
    iPhoto is a SQL database and has powerful search and smart album capabilities
    I use the old who, what, when, where and why system
    Faces to give me Who
    Keywords for What and Why
    Places for where
    and When is automatically added by the camera and is searchable
    you need to forget your old paradigm of file management and start thinking about photo management
    With your old system I defy you to ever find all photos of your wife and your son (an example) - with iPhoto a simple smart album will bring them up instantly

  • Importing from Target Photo CD

    So this is a little bit nit-picky, but when I import pictures from a Target Photo CD, it does not pull the original file from the CD, iphoto only makes an alias to the original file, which is on the CD. I know I can put a folder of those CD pictures(the originals), stick it somewhere in my main pictures folder, import to iphoto (which still uses alias') and be content that way, but how could I go about bypassing the whole alias thing so there is just one folder with the originals and that is what iphoto utilizes to view from? If possible? Thanks in advance...

    iPhoto has two import modes. The normal (default) mode copies all imported photos (original size) to the iPhoto Library folder. The other mode only creates a pointer to where the original photos are.
    Open iPhoto Preferences and click the Advanced icon. "Copy files to iPhoto Library Folder" should be checked if you want them copied during import.
    Both modes also create various thumbnails that iPhoto uses to display the photos. Those thumbnails are much smaller and therefore iPhoto can more quickly display them and scroll, etc.
    To find where your original files are being stored, right-click (or control-click) a photo and choose Show File. If you've edited the image in iPhoto (including if iPhoto rotated it automatically) you'll also see an entry for Show Original. When you select one of these, a Finder window will open with your original or edited image selected. This is the full size image, not the thumbnail.

  • HT4858 why am I getting an error message while importing from iPhone photo stream to iMac ?

    I have not shared any photo for a few months.  I tried to import photos into my iMac from iPhone photostream and I get a message saying "an error occurred while importing photo, please try again later".  What am I doing wrong ?

    There's no need to import photos from your iPhone to your iMac. Photostream is synced automatically via iCloud on Wi-Fi.
    On your iPhone, tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is switched ON.
    On your iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Make sure Photo Stream is selected.

  • Importing from I-photo

    Simple question, or at least I hope the answer is simple!
    I have a folder of pictures in I-Photo and would like to bring the folder into my FCE project. I tried sliding the folder, but it just slides back. Is importing the answer? I have tried that unsuccessfully.
    These forum boards are incredibly helpful. Thanks for your consistent participation.

    having a difficult time repeating what I did... I am still learning!
    I started with my I-photo folder, hit import, and it took me to the finder...
    Should I start with I-photo then import? or FCE then import?

  • Quality of still images imported from i-Photo

    I've recently got a new Mac, with updated version of i-Movie. Struggling to come to terms with it, but one major problem is quality of still images.
    Whatever I do, they look rubbish in i-Movie. I've tried all sorts of settings, Ken Burns etc, still nowhere near the crystal images on the previous version of i-Movie.
    I've read that we're not supposed to look at quality in i-Movie, but only on burning, but this is a nuisance, and anyhow when I made a Quicktime movie it was no better.
    Can anyone help? And why, when something is supposed to be better, is it actually worse?
    Thanks.

    You might try more closely matching the screen resolution of iMovie, which unless you are going widescreen is 720x540... There is not much sense in putting in more dpi than the video format can handle. You can get some distortion when it compresses the images.
    I do find that they never look as good in iMovie on my TV as they did on the computer however. Ken Burns or whatever we try.
    Also, iMovie will stretch smaller than 720x540 images to fit the dimension of the screen, which makes those look truly awful. We usually put those on a black background (in Photoshop) so that they stay at the smaller size.

  • All the photo i import from iphoto (JPEG) to imovie is blank.

    Hello..!
    I need some help..!
    I using powermac G4 cube, i just upgrade to tiger n ilife 06, when i want to import my photo from iphoto to imovie all the image is blank. But i unclick the ken burn effect, i can import the photo i have image...!
    Got someone know how to solve the problem..!
    Thank..!

    I appreciate all of your responses to my problem.  There is no doubt that I have a lot to learn about Aperture.  I guess the first thing I need to do is learn the correct process to import my existing photo events from iPhoto. When I conducted the import operation, I imported by selecting my individual events from iPhoto browser.  Is my problem the result of incorrectly importing from iPhoto?  Where can I find the appropriate import steps into Aperture from iPhoto?
    Several of you recommended that I may need to execute a repair against my iPhoto library.  How do I run the repairs on the iPhoto library? 
    I am confused as to why every single photo is duplicated with one version being the original and the other as an edited version.  I am confused since I have not attempted to edit all of my photos within iPhoto.  Granted I have edited a few photos, but no way every single one.  More than likely I am importing the photos incorrectly from iPhoto.  I may try to import from my photo cards rather than attempting to copy from iPhoto.  Perhaps iPhoto automatically sends two copies of the same photo to Aperture as a default???

  • Is it possible to remove the Last Import selection in Photo Albums?

    I've got a first gen iPhone on 2.0 and was wondering if it's possible to remove Last Import from the Photo Albums screen. I've checked for options in iPhone's Settings and in iPhoto's Preferences but haven't found anything useful.
    Suggestions? Thanks.

  • I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

    I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
    I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
    Mac OS X version 10.6.8
    I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
    if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
    if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
    if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

    After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version".  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry,
    Yes, the error message is exactly like that  ("Database error: failured to persist version")
    No photos will import at all.  I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2. 
    About the difference?  iPhoto and Photos .  Are there two softwares?
    I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro,  iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto.  It's call iPhoto library.  At one point I turned off streaming. 
    Thanks again Larry HN.
