Import Photos to iPhone from MacBook

Is ther a simple way to import photos to my iPhone from my Macbook. I do not want to Sync as this erases/replaces a previous album.
Thank You in advance
David

OK now I understand where you are coming from. Here's the rub... the folder with the images I want to "import" is a unique folder containibg only the new images I want in my iPhone. The folder name is also unique. Example, I have one folder we will call "mountains" with jpgs from a trip to the mountains. I synced it to my iPhone and the photos are all there. Now I have another folder called "beach" with photos from a beach trip. When I attempt to import/sync the "beach" folder it is not added but replaces the "mountain" folder. Am I making sense?

You can't, natively with the iPhone. The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To do what you want requires third-party software, like this:

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

I have moved my iPhoto to an external hard drive. so now I have to have the external hard drive connected to my laptop to view the photos. Now when I want to import photos into iPhoto from my media card, I don't have room to connect both devices.

How do I import my photos from the media card to the external hard drive now?

First transfer the photos to a folder on your MacBook using Image Capture in your Utilities folder. Then move them to iPhoto.
BTW, you might want to invest in a cheap USB hub.

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?

If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow. However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
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
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..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
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:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

The title implies "importing photos & videos from previous versions" and only deals with "Organizer". It does not mention if regular "JPG" or other formats need to change. It does not discuss if images have been moved from one location to another folder or directory. It does not discuss any issues of previous versions or backward compatability of formats.

How do I import photos to iPad2 from different folders in my Mac?

How do I import photos to iPad2 from different folders in my Mac?
I have a few folders of photos in my mac that I want to be on my iPad2. How do I go about on doing that?
It seems like I need to put all the folders into one folder and point iTunes to that main folder.
The thing is I don't want to copy them (waste of space) and I don't want to move them (my photos are organized).
So is there a way for me to import photos from different folders in my mac to my iPad2?
Thank you!
BTW... I don't use iPhoto.

How to import photos and videos from Android device?

Hello
I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 recently and I'm trying to import photos and videos from my phone, Samsung Galaxy SIII, but having a little trouble.
When I go to "Import from Camera or Card Reader" option and choose my phone from the "Get photos from" drop down menu in "Source" section the "Photo downloader" finds
every single photo and/or video stored on the device and it's memory card but I'm trying to import only photos and/or videos I've shot my self with the phone, witch is kept
in an folder named DCIM, but I simply can't figure out how to so my question is:
How do I import photos and/or videos from my Android device?

Try clicking Advanced button (bottom left) in the downloader dialog. You should then be able to select and deselect thumbnails and import only the ones you give the checkmark.

I was importing photos to picasa from iphoto and it shut down when i returned i had no photos in iphoto

i was importing photos to picasa from iphoto, and it shut down when doing so. when i restarted i photo, all of my photos were gone. where are they?? please help??

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I delete photos of iPhone from my computer? No PC with me

How do I delete photos of iPhone from my computer? No PC with me

You mean photos that were transferred from the PC to the iPhone? You can't delete them directly on the device, not without erasing everything off the device. You'd have to sync the device with iTunes again, and choose to have no pictures synced.

Manually add some photos to iPhone from mac

Hi all,
Now I want to manually add some photos to iPhone from mac (no iTunes syncing) just drag from mac to iphone
Q: how do I do this? Is there way to use image capture app in reverse (send to iPhone from mac) ?

You can't just drag the photos or use Image Capture in reverse. I do it using iTunes but there are other methods such as PhotoStream or using a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com

How to import photos to iphoto from an iPhone?

I have an iphoto software (on my MacBook Pro).
Before I upgraded to the latest version of iphone 4S operating system I was able to backup my photos to iphoto.
Now I believe they are updated somewhere on icloud (which I don't know how to use yet and it says it's out of storage all the time)
I do wanna my photos to upload on the my mac and delete from the iphone via iphoto.
Any idea how to do it? Is it possible at all or do I need go to icloud - when copy my photos to computer from icloud and then delete them manually?
And afterwards to switch something (I don't know what in settings) if I don't wanna my pics to be uploaded to icloud in future. Or how do I do both - icloud and iphoto?
Thanks in advance, hope u understand my question.

What I wanted to add - when I plug the cable of an iphone into my mac - I don't see any photos to import anymore. In previous version version I saw picture frames or thumbnails.
And now I don't see them anymore. This is what prevents me from importing the pictures I suppose
