Imported photos from removable drive and only show on that drive

I was attemping to copy all my photos to my laptop using PSE8. Some how instead of having my catalogue on C drive I have it on the removable drive. So the files won't import to C drive cause it says I already have them they don't show in the organizer but do in explorer. now I can't delete the E drive and import the files to C:doc../set/... /all pics HELP
already tried uninstalling PSE8 and removing registry keys as soon as I load from disc it magicaly sees a drive that aint there. Also tried folder by folder add unmanaged files says I have them ...on a drive no longer there!

Is it possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order?

Is i possible to import photos from a disk and retain the same order they appear on the disk? When I import them, the come out in random order.

When first imported the photos will be sorted in the Event chronologically. On the disk they well be sorted by the Finder and that's usually alphanumerically by file name. So select the photos in the event and type Commnad+N. That will create a new album at the left with the photos in it. Then go to the View ➙ Sort Photo menu and select "By Title". That should give you the same order as you view the photos on the disk via the Finder.

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues. I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained 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.

IPhoto hung importing photos from SD card and is now not responding

Importing photos from SD card (canon raw format) and iPhoto hung and is no longer responding have to firce quit to get out of it. Suggestions on reinstalling iPhoto. or?

I was able to resolve the issue through forcing the image capture program to quit through the activity monitor and reboot the machine and everything seems to function fine now. Imported the pics, all 240 of them in RAW format.

How do I get Photo Stream to only import photos from my phone and not push photos to my phone.

Hi
Just purchased an Imac (first time mac user) and imported all my photos from my PC. I have been using photo stream on my phone and ipad and like it. The problem is, as far as I can tell, that I have added thousands of photos to the Imac and it now consider those to be new additions. It is sharing those photos to my phone and Ipad and filling both up very quickly. Is there a way that I can only stream photos from the phone to Iphoto on my imac and not from the imac to the phone? I realize that in 30 days, this should correct itself, but for the time being it is a huge hassle. Im sure there is some setting in iphoto that will alleviate my problem

If you have a mac....
launch iPhoto
click the word "iPhoto" beside the apple, and select "preferences / photo stream"
what synces, is listed here
uncheck what you desire, and simply close iPhoto. It will save the changes
Also......
Click the apple / system prefences / iCloud - if you wish to stop "photo stream" completely, you can uncheck it here.

I do not have the people and media tabs to allow me to import photos from my iPhotos ,i only have the elive, quick, guided and expert tabs, can anyone help please?

Many Thanks In advance

Elements consists of two separate but interrelated programs: the editor, where you work on your photos, and the organizer, which you can use to organize them. You are looking in the editor. To see the organizer, click the organizer button in the welcome screen or at the bottom of the editor.
Now, do you want to keep your photos in iphoto or in the organizer? That's a choice you must make, sooner or later. The organizer does include a get photos from>iphoto command, but that will copy all the photos in your iphoto library to a new location and make organizer databases for the copies. Is that what you want to do, or do you want to use iphoto to organize your photos, in which case you would not use the PSE organizer?

Importing photos from a PC and creating new library in iPhoto

I recently purchased a MacBook and I would like to transfer all of my photos from my external hard drive to the Mac. I had been using a PC prior to my MacBook purchase, so I am accustomed to organizing all of my pictures on my PC in one "My Pictures" folder with several subfolders within that large folder (e.g. "Landscape Photos," "Portraits," etc.):
1. How should I transfer my photos onto the Mac? Do I copy and paste them into the "Pictures" folder, and then import them into iPhoto? If so, won't that create duplicate copies on my hard drive?
2. I understand that going forward, when I upload pictures from my camera onto the computer (using iPhoto), the pictures will be uploaded into the "Original" folder, all lumped together with every picture that is uploaded. But for instance, if I upload a "landscape" photo, how do I put that in my "Landscape" folder, which is the same folder I was using to classify landscape pictures on my PC? Or does this "folder" classification now go away since iPhoto just organizes it?
3. I use Photoshop to edit certain pictures. If I revise a picture, in which folder am I supposed to save it? Does it become a file "Modified" folder? How would I access this photo to print out at an external photo lab?
I would definitely appreciate any insight from anyone....thanks in advance for your help!!

Hello and welcome to the discussions!
Many of you 'switchers' are having problems with how iPhoto works, and how it differs from other programs you are used to with PCs. Most of you do all of your organizing yourself, but with iPhoto, you can just concentrate on working with your photos and being creative, letting iPhoto worry about what photo is in which folder. Here is an explanation of how iPhoto works: Using iPhoto, from iPhoto Help
iPhoto is designed to let your do all your arranging/naming/organizing into albums from WITHIN iPhoto itself. You should not be tinkering around in any of your iPhotoLibrary Folders outside of iPhoto: Don't Tamper
Another good explanation of iPhoto and how it works is in this thread
And, here is a discussion thread on migrating from Picasa to iPhoto: iPhoto structure
Be sure to read Terence's excellent explanation.
Finally, for your questions:
(1)You should be able to get your photos into iPhoto by opening up iPhoto and dragging your photo folders into the main window of iPhoto. iPhoto will create a film roll for each folder. If the folder has subfolders, film rolls will be created for them also. By naming the folders when you import them, you will be able to keep the same organization in your film rolls. iPhoto automatically stores the photos in iPhotoLibrary folder in Pictures folder. You do not need to put them into Pictures yourself.
You need to learn about iPhoto's album system, where you create albums in the Source pane and selectively put your photos into them. These albums actually contain aliases of the photos, not the photos themselves, so a photo's alias can be placed into many albums, but the photo can be in only one film roll.
(2) If you don't want your photos downloaded from your camera in a lump sum, use ImageCapture (in Applications) to selectively download your photos into separate folders on your desktop, and then import each folder into iPhoto where each folder becomes a separate film roll. You can either keep the original downloaded photos on your computer, or you can delete the downloaded folders after you have imported the photos into iPhoto.
(3) You can set your 'Edit' preferences in iPhoto to open up PhotoShop for all editing, and you save the photo back to iPhoto afterwards. It will be in the same film roll.
Post back if you have more questions.

I purchased a new computer and want to import music from other computers and sources to my hard drive, how do I import the actual songs and not the links?

I purchased a new computer. I would like to import all of my music from my other computers and external hard drives. I want to only import the physical songs not "Links". Also not duplicates. How do I do this?

Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the Copy... option is ticked. This will ensure any files you drag to the library get copied into your library's media folder.
If the same content appears at more than one location, or you add it more than once, then iTunes will create dupes. There isn't really any way to avoid that, but I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove them. See this thread for background.

Import photos from SD Card into a library with referenced masters

I have the following problem:
I would like to migrate from Aperture (that I used for the past couple of years) to Photos for OS X. (Well, let's say I feel kind of forced to by Apple's decision to abandon Aperture and since I do not like to switch to Lightroom (which I fear will soon be available via Adobe's Cloud system!)). I successfully migrated my Aperture library to Photos. My library is a 'referenced library', i.e. a library where the original photos ('masters') are NOT inside the library but stored in a separate location. In my case the original photos are stored on a NAS. Photos recognizes all my photos and by right-clicking on a photo I can select the 'Show in Finder' option and Photos correctly shows then the location of the corresponding photo on the NAS. So far so good.
The problem arises when I want to import new photos from the camera (or its SD card). I plugin the SD card into the Mac and fire up Photos. Then I click on 'Import'. I do not succeed in importing the photos from the SD card in a way that the original files (masters) are copied to the NAS (the place where I keep my masters). In fact when I import then everything (also the master files) are copied into the library (which is located on the Mac's internal SSD.) This happens despite I have deselected "Copy objects into photo library" in the Photos app Preferences.
(Another problem is that, with Aperture, I could import photos from the SD card in a way that the originals were copied to the NAS, renamed appropriately (e.g. <date>-<time>.JPG and put automatically in an Aperture-created folder structure (year/month/day). I fear that the only way to keep on working with 'referenced' masters will be by NOT using Photos' Import function directly for the import from the SD card, but first to copy 'manually' (using the Finder) the photos from the SD card to the NAS (after having created year, month, day folders manually) and then to use Photos Import function. Is this really the sad truth?
Another problem is: When I delete a photo from the library, it will NOT be deleted from the masters! :-(
Has anybody experienced the same problems?
Cheers
Rainer

The SanDisk website has a PDF owner's guide that says the following;
Macintosh Disk Icons: When you connect the MicroMate Reader/Writer on a Macintosh operating system, a removable disk icon labeled
“untitled” representing the MicroMate Reader/Writer will show on the desktop when a card is inserted.
It also has directions to drag the removable disk icon labeled “untitled” to the trash to remove the disk. There is also a support link to a ebox page on a secure site that won't let me go farther (I think I need a newer browser), so I can't find drivers.
My problem is that the icon doesn't show up and I can't find it in any applications I try. I know the Disney camera is a toy, its for my 5 year old, but I am having the identical problem with both the Disney camera and SanDisk.

Importing photos from old iPhone into iPhoto

I've just upgraded an iPhone and am trying to get the photos off the old one onto the computer. Using iPhoto because that's what I've used before. The iPhone is connected via USB and iTunes recognizes it but iPhoto doesn't show it at all, so there's no chance to import anything. Any ideas why the device is not showing up to iPhoto, even while it does show up to iPhoto? Be advised, I have not backed up to the Cloud at all so Photo Stream is not enabled.
And a secondary question: why in the heck would iTunes be set up, under the Photos tab, to import photos FROM the computer TO the iPhone? That's all I can get it to do at least. Why in the world would I want to move photos in that direction, if the iPhone is the camera and the comptuer hard drive is the storage device?

"And a secondary question: why in the heck would iTunes be set up, under the Photos tab, to import photos FROM the computer TO the iPhone? That's all I can get it to do at least.

So you can view pics from your computer on your iphone. For most, then iphone is not the only camera they ever use. In fact, it is likely not the main camera you would use.

Lost ability in iphoto to import photos from my iphone 5

Hi
When I open iPhoto, I am no longer seeing my iPhone 5 that is connected to the computer.
I tried changing phones and cables and have the same problem.
I recently deactivated a Dropbox setting (not in iPhoto) for importing photos. I also just updated to iTunes 11.0.5 and the RAW update 4.08.
Not sure if any of these are relevant changes, but I did all about the same time.
Is there a way to set iPhoto to recognize my iPhone is connected to the computer and prompt me to import photos from the phone
Thanks

Does it show as a device in the finder?

Problem importing photos from iphone3G via Adobe Photoshop Elements v7.0

I have adobe elements v7.0 and an iPhone 3g running the new release
iPhone OS.
When I connect the iPhone to upload the photos I have taken on it into
pe7 the import photos dialog box opens and then shows how many photos
are there to import. But each thumbnail is blank and I get an error
message that finally crashes pe7 without importing the photos.
The same thing happens if I have pe7 open and choose to import photos
choosing the iPhone as the attached device from the drop down list
This problem has started since I downloaded the new iPhone OS 3.0 - before then the import into Elements 7.0 worked fine
Is anyone aware of this bug and a way of fixing it?

I, too, have experienced the same problem - but without full resolution. I chose to have PE7 automatically download the photos from the phone upon connection/syncing and have continued to experience the "fatal error" message. Even though I cancel the action when the "fatal error" show up (and the phone syncs without further problem), I believe that the conflict messes up something within the iPhone system. For the 5th time (and 3rd phone in 2 months), it appears that every time I try to use the camera shortly after receiving the "fatal" error problem, the phone ceases to work. It works just fine as long as I don't open the camera program. So - I am now trying to figure out how to get the computer(PC)/PE7 to not automatically download pictures upon connection and see if my suspicions are accurate. Any suggestions on that question are appreciated!
