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.

  • HT2498 How do I import Photo Library from iPhone 3GS to Mac Pro? Unable to see photos when USB cable connected???

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Import photo's from iPhone photo-library

    how can i import photos from my iPhone? the photos are on my iPhone photolibrary, the one where your pics are stored when you sync your iPhone with iPhoto...
    i want to import the photos from my iPhne back to my iPhoto library, but don;t know how...

    There's no way to do this without buying a 3rd party app. You'll find various possibilities at MacUpdate

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

  • 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 ...

  • 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 do I delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    What is the easiest way to delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    Depends on the album and how it got there.
    If it is an album that you sync'd to the device, you would remove it the same way - by hooking up the device to sync, de-selecting the album in the Photos profile screen, and then syncing the device
    If it is an album you created, you would need to manually delete the album itself by clicking on Edit from the main display and then clicking on the minus sign to delete the album. This does not delete the photos in the album, however. If you want the photos deleted, you have to select them and then delete them manually.
    Camera Roll photos will ask if you want to delete them when you import the Camera Roll to a computer.
    Photo Stream photos are either deleted manually, or you can turn off Photo Stream altogether to remove Photo Stream from your device.

    No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
    You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

  • When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?

    I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

    Thanks If anyone can help me.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Is it possible to transfer photos, files from iphone 5s to macbook pro via bluetooth?

    Before I got the iphone 5s, I was using a Nokia phone.  I was able to transfer photos, files from my Nokia phone to macbook pro via bluetooth connections.  It was very simple and POSSIBLE (even though apple support staff said it was not possible to do so).  My macbook pro does NOT need to be paired with Nokia phone as long as it can DISCOVER the nokia phone and vice versa.
    Hence, after i got the iphone 5s recently, I'd expected both devices (iphone 5s and macbook pro) to communicate and connect via bluetooth as easily as Nokia phone.  However, I was disappointed to find out the iphone 5s kept "searching" for discoverable device even though my macbook DISCOVERED the iphone!!  Thus, I was NOT able to transfer any files from these two devices.
    Any apple technical people care to explain why BOTH are apple products cant work?  A Nokia phone and macbook can.  Very strange, isn't it?

    Althought,you can use bluetooth to transfer photos,files from iPhone to Macbook,However,it is so slowly,if you want to quickly copy photos/files from iPhone to Mac,you can use tools or software to help you,such as iStonsoft iPhone to Mac Transfer,This is a very professional tool,Hope this helps!
