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 ...

  • 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.

  • How to migrate photo library from windows into iPhoto '09

    I have spent altogether too much time fretting about this transition and searching for solutions online, and I'm certain someone else has figured this out.
    I just switched from Windows to a mac, and I'm wanting to move my photo library into iPhoto. I already have my photos separated into folders by event (I used Picasa for Windows). Is there any way to get those 312 folders to translate into iPhoto Events? And for the hail mary, is there a way to import any Picasa data into iPhoto? I've found iPhotoExpert to basically do that the other way around (i.e. migrating from iPhoto to Picasa), but I'm looking to migrate to iPhoto from Picasa.
    Anybody done this successfully?

    I realize iPhoto is not a file manager, I've gotten over that part. At this point I would just like it to recognize different folders as different events. I feel like that is a little feature that would go a long way, not only for migrating libraries like in this case, but also in the future.
    I will often create separate folders within my camera's menus for different events, so that when I import the photos it makes it easier to distinguish the different events, even if they span multiple days. If only there was a checkbox next to "imported items from finder" called "treat folders as events when importing" that applied recursively to folders imported.
    Update: I took a leap of faith and dragged a portion of my library into iPhoto (after unchecking that "Autosplit Imported items from Finder" checkbox) and it did exactly what I was hoping it would! Turns out it does apply recursively, which is really handy. I can just drag my entire "Pictures" folder with all of my photos nicely organized into events by folder into iPhoto, and it recognizes each folder as a separate event without having to drag each folder separately! hooray! I ended up doing so with the "Photos" icon selected in the sidebar, I don't know if that made a difference or not. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

  • How can I Import photos directly from Mail into iPhoto?

    Prior to updating to Lion, when viewing photo attachments within Apple Mail, I could do a quick preview of attached photo(s) within the email and click an iPhoto icon that would import the photos into iPhoto. Something has changed now when selecting "Quick Look" I do not get an option to send the photo to iPhoto. Am I missing somthing or is this feature no longer available with Lion/Mail?

    Not sure if this helps or not. I recently installed Lion for my mother, and she couldn't figure out how to export photos in an email to iPhoto. Turns out she had to click on Details in the upper right corner of the email message. Then the Save and Quick Look buttons returned. If you click and hold on Save (possibly on the triangle on the right side of the button) there is an option to save to iPhoto.
    I haven't upgraded to Lion myself yet so I can't answer your specific question regarding saving to iPhoto from the Quick Look preview.

  • 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 import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

    How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

    Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
    1) Open iMovie
    2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
    3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
    4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
    5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
    6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
    7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

  • Why cant I drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore

    Hi, I'm not very techy, in the last few days I seem unable to drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore, always been able to before, any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

    It's only a workaround till you find a solution.  This problem is not affecting everyone so it's associated with one's particular setup. 
    Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Next boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command+R keys held down, and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the disk.  If that doesn't help boot again in the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.

  • Importing movies from iPhone into iPhoto

    Hi,
    I hope someone can explain me the following:
    - imported videos from my iphone into iphoto
    - in the events the videos are shown BUT the picture shown for the video isn't from that video & when i open the video to play it shows the correct video (i know     this as the events are organized per day and the picture shown for the movie is actually a picture from another event)
    Anyone has an idea or did I do something wrong.
    Thanks

    Sounds more like you need to rebuild the thumbnails.
    Back Up and then try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • Can't get photo's from iphone to iphoto 09

    I did a clean install of osx and did not back up my photos dumb I know, now I have 73 photos on my iphone but iphoto 09 only imported the camera roll album of 11 photos the other photo albums don't import and if I sync under photos tab in itunes it says will wipe out any photos on my iphone that are not in iphoto, help can I get these old photos off my iphone and into iphoto??

    That's not the same problem. The OP wanted to import photos he had synced, not photos from the Camera Roll. If you had the same problem, the same answer would work for you.
    If you need to import photos you took with the iPhone, try using Image Capture instead of iPhoto. If the issue is with iPhoto, Image Capture will let you import to anywhere on your hard drive. It's in Applications, comes with every Mac.

  • Receive an error message when trying to import any videos from iphone to iphoto on my desktop.  Help?

    I have 6 videos on my iphone, varying in length from 24 seconds to 11 minutes, that will not import to iphoto.  I have tried to import them as a group and individually but get a message that 'there was a problem accessing the file.'  I had no difficulty importing over 300 photos from the phone to the desktop.  Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.  Thanks.  Anne

    See if you can use Image Capture to upload the video files to a folder on the Desktop and then import from there into iPhoto.

  • 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

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