Import photo library from iPhone?

I am trying to download photos to my Mac from my iphone 4s. I am able to download my camera roll but I have thousands of picutures that have been taken from my old PC that I stored on my iphone. I want to take these off and put them in iPhoto, any suggestions? I don't even see these pictures in iPhoto. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply! I transferred the pics from an old windows XP laptop -click and drag. The iPhone stored them as pics under using the same name as the original files on my old laptop. No app was used.

How to import photo library from iPhone?

Hello everyone,
I would like to import my photos from iPhone - but those not taken WITH iPhone.
I'll explain: I have photos on my PC. I can sync them to the iPhone. I now would like to import these into iPhoto. Under Windows, I can import as soon as I plug in the phone or access its disk. How can I do the same in my Mac?
Thanks,
Beto.

iPhone is not designed for this. No support for importing from the Photo Library, only designed to import pix you took on the camera.
You can look at PhoneView, which will pull photos from the Photo Library. HOWEVER, these will be down-sized low-res photos, not high-quality originals. You'd be MUCH better off using a USB drive to copy the photos from the PC and transfer them to the Mac.

Importing "photo library" from iphone into iphoto

I'm trying to import my photo library on my iphone into iphoto. It will only allow me to import the "camera roll". Any suggestions on how to do this?

This is exactly what happened to me too. My TimeCapsule had backed up most of my albums but the last 2 or 3 were lost. I am also emailing them to myself ... or to my MobileMe library online. This is very slow and tedious. I may try that 3rd party program as well. I'm also gonna check the app store to see if there is something in there we could try ...

Deleting Photo Library from iPhone 4 - Help!

Help! I can't figure out how to delete the Photo Library from my iPhone 4. Here is what I did:
I was using my sister's Mac and downloaded some photos she took from her iPhoto onto my iPhone 4. Now I can see the photos on my phone in a new folder called "Photo Library." But there isn't an option to delete the photos like there is with the Camera Roll folder.
When I hook the phone up to my own Mac, the photos don't appear in iPhoto so I can't delete them there.
When I hook the phone up to my PC, the PC doesn't seem to think the photos are there either.
When I open the phone with iTunes, the Photo Library folder doesn't appear in the folder options so I can't "unsync" the folder.
Yet they sure are taking up a lot of space on my phone!!! I feel like they are permanently stuck on my phone now. My sister lives far away so I can't just plug my phone into her computer again.
Will restoring the phone finally get rid of the Photo Library? I can do this as a last resort but only if I know it will fix the problem. Thank you!

Use iTunes.
Under the Photos tab, choose Sync Photos from and then from the dropdown select choose folder...
Create a new empty folder by selecting New folder and click Open
Then Apply and Sync.
That should do it. At least it did for me

Can't delete "Photo Library" from iPhone. Please help

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to delete the "photo library" off my iPhone (as well as all the sub folders it has created). I do not want to have all the images from iPhoto to be on my iPhone as well. When I plug-in my phone, I go to the photo tab in iTunes...un-click the "sync from iPhoto" option at the top...it then asks me if I'd like to remove all the images added via iPhoto to which I answer "remove" but then nothing happens. I've tried re-syncing it, re-starting it (phone, computer and itunes) but nothing happens. The phone is a 3G.
Thank you very much for your help.

OK I was able to figure it out. First, I had to check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" box in the photos tab. Second; I had to check, "Selected albums, events and faces and automatically included" Third; I to select "NO EVENTS" from the drop down menu. By selecting *no events* I was able to remove all the photos I did not take with my iPhone.
Hope this helps someone else too.

Import photos PSE12 from IPhone - duplicates

Hi everyone.
I'm having a problem with Importing photos from my iphone into PSE12 using the Import from Camera/Card Reader function.
background:
The phone has circa 1200 photos on it.
They have. Softly been previously downloaded to my macbook.
When I go to import the most recent ones it says there are 200+ to download. So it is recognising that some already exist ie 1,000 or so are not downloaded.
So I go ahead and download the 200+. All appears to be well.
Until I then go and do another download later and it downloads all 200+ again.
Anyone know how to stop this ?
I assume it's a bug?
is there a way of simply importing the contents of an iPhones photo and video list dirextort into a Macbook folder and then doing the import possibly?
suggestions welcome.

The following are my observations based on my very simple testing:
1. In Photo Downloader, in Apply Template, Set Template to Use: to None. PSE DOES treat re-imported images as duplicates.
2. In Photo Downloader, in Apply Template, Set Template to Use: to Default. PSE does NOT treat re-imported images as duplicates.
3. In Photo Downloader, in Apply Template, Set Template to Use: to Basic Template. Enter data in Author field. PSE does NOT treat re-imported images as duplicates.
It is apparent that applying a Metadata template to the imported images cause PSE to not treat the images as duplicates if they are imported a second time. But to me this seems ridiculous that the import and template functions are at cross purposes to each other.
This is a significant flaw in the import process. I submit that Adobe should find a solution to this.

Error when importing photos/videos from iphone 4 into Picassa.....

When attempting to import photos and videos from iphone 4 into Picassa (v3.8) I get the following error message:
"An error has occurred while attempting to import. Either the source is unavailable or the destination is full or read only. (1)"
Any thoughts? I know this is an iphone specific issue as I was successfully able to import from another camera.
P.S Quicktime up to date and quicktime movies checked in Picassa.

I have the same issue. It started only after the most recent iPhone update though, leading me to think it's the phone, not iPhoto.
The pictures that do import are streaked/blurry with terrrible colour. I can still send them via email but they're smaller files.
Does anyone know another way to get my full-res pictures off my iPhone?
[edit] I found out that I could use Apple's Image Capture software, which worked like a charm but the pictures themselves are a mess. I'll have to try resetting.

How to delete an imported photo album from IPhone when the computer used is no longer in my possession

Then your only option to remove these photos from your phone is to restore your device as NEW.

Slow importing photo library from network hard drive

I have about 20GB of photos stored on a network hard drive. I'd like to import them into iPhoto but I don't want to store them locally on my macbook pro as it will take up too much space.
I followed the advice from previous posts and set up my library on the network drive - however the import process is taking way too long. Last night I was able to get about 100 photos in 3 hours. I eventually gave up and stopped the process. I realize that transferring via the wireless network is slowing things down but there has to be a way of doing this that doesn't take several days. I didn't have this problem on my PC using Adobe Photoshop Elements - it was able to import the same number of files from the network drive in less than an hour. I watched iPhoto while it imported a single (small) photo - it took about a minute just to import a file less that 1mb in size.
any sugestions or should I just stick to Windows?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I'll try the wired connection tonight - I do have other devices that access photos/mp3's over my wireless network (eg. xbox360) that seem to have no difficulty with speed.
Do you think it would make any difference if I imported in smaller groups (maybe one folder/50 photos at a time) rather than trying to import my entire photo album at once (3000 photos). It might take a few days, but it is a process I could run in the background while I surf. Just curious if iPhoto cares - does it take the same amount of time to import 50 photos 20 times, versus 1000 photos in one shot...?
thanks for the advice

How do i delete my photo library from my iphone 4?

My computer downloaded my entire photo library to my iPhone 4s & I'm almost out of storage space. As far as I can tell, there is no way to delete the photo library from the phone itself; I have tried.
I have gone into iTunes library to delete it from there, but I don't have a "photo" option. I clicked on all of the other choices on the tab in the upper left-hand corner: Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Apps, & Tones. None of these options have anything related to photos or photo libraries.
I have cleared my "My Pictures" folder on my PC and re-synched the phone; that didn't work either. I've gone through everything under the "Settings" tab on the phone itself, but to no avail.
I'm almost to the point where I just want to take my phone to the wireless provider and have them wipe everything out and reset the phone back to its original settings, but I'm thinking there's GOT to be an easier way to solve this problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Yes there is and if you are unable to via the iTunes sync process, there is a problem.
I have gone into iTunes library to delete it from there, but I don't have a "photo" option.
Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not stored in your iTunes library. iTunes serves as the transfer conduit only between the location on your computer's hard drive where the selected photos are stored and your iPhone.
This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If all photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone are not removed from the iPhone after deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, try creating a new folder on your computer's hard drive that will remain empty. Select this empty folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes instead of your My Pictures folder followed by a sync.

You don't need to take the iPhone anywhere to do this ends up being needed. You can erase all data and settings direct on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset which will erase everything but the iOS version installed and the included apps, or you can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK. Just deselect the photos when you sync.
