Another ooption is to use a neat little gadget called an i-Flashdrive.
It can be used to transfer pictures between IOS devices. I recently got one from Amazon and it allows me to quickly and conveniently transfer pictures between my partner's and my iPhones and iPads.

i've heard people taking about the permissions issue. Is it some settings or options in iMac or LR that require tweaking?

An alternative way to import photos from a folder would be to drag-and-drop the folder onto the central area of the Library panel. It would open the same Import panel with the same folder selected, but perhaps with a different result.
Another couple things I can think of is that there is a permissions issue or the folder is empty.

Importing Photographs and Storage of same?

I have become increasingly disillusioned with how iPhoto stores photographs and generally manages them, but I like its presentation, and the ease of creating smart albums. I've investigated almost every other possible option on the market but for management, iPhoto seems to be best.
My question is this:
If I choose to import photographs and NOT copy them to iphoto (which I have done with a large number of photographs this morning)... in the future when I choose to open a camera in iphoto, will the photographs be copied to the existing folders, or will the photographs be placed in the iphoto library? I don't want them there, I want them to be in the Pictures folder, under their year/month/day folders.
I am prepared to use imagecapture.app to import them, and import manually to iPhoto later, if necessary.
Thanks for any help

iPhoto is definitely not the app for you.
I wanted to simplify things, and make it easier to get rid of stuff I dont want...
That's what the iPhoto trash is for.
like duplicates of every file I edit (and god help me if I edit more than once).
Iphoto (and Lightroom is the same btw) is all about a managed, lossless workflow. Key to that is preserving the original file at all costs. You might want to consider why, if you want to directly edit original files, you are using applications specifically designed to prevent you doing that.
Also, I do access the Library and I hate the fact that Lion has made it inaccessible unless you use third party applications to get in there.
There is no need to use 3rd party apps to access the Library, so frankly, I'm not sure what you mean here. Lion didn't change the layout of the Library, this changed back in 2007 with iPhoto 08. And, again, as you seem to want to directly access the files via the Finder, it's clear that you'll be happier using a File Manager rather than a Photo Manager.
I would caution you though, you're confusing these files with the Photos therein, and it's going to cause you problems if you use a Photo Manager.
So much crud gets left behind when you are uninstalling applications, access is needed for a darn good cleanout from time to time.
Well there are a couple of interesting thoughts in there. One, this is the iPhoto Library you're talking about, so what that has to do with uninstalling applications I have no idea, and two, I've no idea what the computer version of a "darn good cleanout" actually is.
As far as iPhoto shots are concerned, I like to back them up on a separate drive which is not associated with the iPhoto library at all, and I dont see a thing wrong with this
Nothing wrong with it at all. Have you explore the File -> Export options for doing this? No?
Its not Apple's way... its MY way. And it wont affect my shots at all.
So, it is Apple's way too. There you go.

When importing photographs from Photos into Adobe Elements does Elements make a separate copy of the photograph?

I use Adobe Elements Organizer, and don't want to use Photos except to transfer photos from my iPad and iPhone to my MAC. Then my plan is to delete them. But I need to understand where the photographs are stored on my MAC, to avoid having multiple copies. With the previous iPhoto app you could never really identify the location of the files--and it seemed that Adobe Elements was making a copy in a separate directory on import to Elements. Now with the new Photos app, I don't know what is happening.

I use Adobe Elements Organizer, and don't want to use Photos except to transfer photos from my iPad and iPhone to my MAC
Then you might want to just use image capture (in your applications folder) to transfer the photos instead - that would simply your workflow
And as to where the photos are - same as before - in the Photos (or iPhoto - or Aperture) library - and yes if you import to Photos and then in some undisclosed way add the photos to PSE organizer you have two copies - one in PSE and one in Photos

Imported photographs will not download into powerbook

On vacation in Thailand and Cambodia I imported about 2000 photos into iPod as a way to save them. At home iTunes says the iPod is 'corrupted' and may need to be 'restored.' Contents of iPod do not appear in iTunes.
Disk Utility says "reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data" and "invalid sibling link." Clicking 'repair' does not repair.
Ipod worked perfectly throughout vacation. Still does. Erasing photos is not an option. I need a way to get my imported photos off ipod without erasing.
Is there a repair program to fix iPod corruption? Any other strategies?

Mac os10 Mavericks /Safari

Aperture 2 freezes when I click to import photographs

I need help with Aperture 2 on OS X10.6.8 - Snow Leopard. My library and projects are fine, but whenever I select "import" either from the toolbar or from the File menu, the application completeley locks on me with the spinning coloured wheel. No matter how long I wait, the program never recovers. I have:
o     Cleaned out my library and slimmed it down. My hard drive has plenty of space on it!
o     Tried a CF card reader, usb cable, the internal card reader on the iMac, but I do not even get to the stage of selecting where I want to import           from...
o     Tried a new library
o     Repaired permissions with Disk Utility
o     Repaired the library and rebuilt projects
o     Uninstalled and re-installed Aperture 2, with and without software updates to latest version
o     Removed preferences, library receipts etc and tried reinstalling again.
o   ... and sent a whole load of error reports to Apple!
Can anyone help? The program is totally useless without the ability to import!
Thanks in advance.

True importing is important!
If you click on Import with no camera or card reader attached does it do the same thing? In other words can you import from the filesystem?
You've tried just about all the standard troubleshooting steps we recommend except I don't see creating a new user, logging in as that user and trying Aperture. That will help narrow down the problem to either your environment or the system. You should give that a shot now.
When did this problem start? Was anything changed on the system around that time?
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - To be honest getting help with Aperture 2 running on SL will be difficult. There are not to many people left running that configuration anymore so testing things out will be difficult.

Why can't I import photographs from a DVD to a MacBook Pro?

Trying to transfer the pictures from a DVD and I get all kinds of messages, but it seems that it cannot read it. Do I need a special app?

In other words, will I be able to manipulate DVD's with photos on them?
No. That's over. It's not coming back. You need to make new arrangements. DVD and other optical media is dying out. There is a single model of Mac you can buy now with an optical drive. Soon there will be none. This is repeating throughout the computer industry. That's why I say that optical media is going the way of the floppy disk.
The only reason I mentioned Aperture is that it is a way of merging libraries. Aperture and iPhoto are no longer developed. They are both on the way out. A newer app is coming to replace them. Other than a (more expensive) way of merging, Aperture has no solution for you.
Multiple external drives, backing each other up, is the way forward at the moment. An online back up is helpful too.

Hour glass showing instead of thumbnails when importing new photos

I just started using Photoshop 10. When I import photographs from my camera or from any other source, the thumbnails do not show in the catalog, I can only see an hourglass.
If I click on the hourglass, the picture opens and the picture shows perfectly, so the file is there. However when I close the picture an d go back to the "show all" the thumbnails still does not work, it only shows an hour glass.
This was not happening when I was using Adobe Photoshop 9 and I am still using the same Windows Vista computer.

Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
thumb.5.cache
After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

Colour cast and darkening on import

I've just imported photographs taken with a new camera (Canon 7D). The photos look fine at first, whilst rendering the preview and the histogram is "calculating ...", but then change, becoming darker, with an orange cast. This is not happening to all the photos, but all were taken in the same lighting, with flash. I've seen this happen with importing photographs from other Canon cameras (300D, 400D), but never to such an extent.
I'm using LR2 V2.6 RC (625842).
Computer is a MacBook Pro, Intel Core Duo. Screen is calibrated regularly.

A few things I might want to add/comment on the different posts:
ambienttroutmask wrote:
... Colour profiles are specific to a device, and are such things as ACR 4, Camera Landscape, or however they are named for your particular camera. The colour space that Lightroom uses is a special version of Kodak ProPhoto RGB (called Mellisa, named after its developer). When you export an image you must give it a space (usually sRGB) . You would attach a profile for a specific device (such as a printer profile). Your monitor should also have its own profile (set by the device and software you use for calibration).
I don't quite agree:
What you refer to as Colour profiles are called Camera (Calibration) Profiles (ACR 4, Camera Landscape etc.)
Color profiles (also known as ICC profiles) are used to describe the relation of data in the so called profile connection space (PCS) to either a specific device's color space or another specific color space (e.g. ProPhoto RGB, sRGB, ...)

If you set the camera to, say, vivid, LR shoud respect that WHEN RENDERING. It shouldn't mess with the raw data. It would just be the first few lines of the devolop history. If you want LR to not do that, set the camera to its defaults, or fix it in develop later. It's still 100% under your control.
Agree, that this would need an ideal world where the camera manufacturers documented their formats.
If LR would have to respect a specific camera setting when rendering, it would have to implement/reengineer all possible presets (Picture Styles, Picture Controls, ....) for all manufacturers and all models of cameras. Presently, Adobe only provides several camera profiles for Canon and Nikon.

Raw is raw. White balance, color saturation, contrast, and sharpness settings, etc., do not change the raw data at all, other than coming along for the ride as metadata. IMHO, programs like LR should respect those metadatal values when rendering.
LR does respect the white balance setting active at the time of the shot and adapt it to its rendering. Other settings, like saturation, contrast, sharpness etc. do not have an effect on LRs rendering.

Why can't I import any photos into lightroom?

I just bought Lightroom 5 and installed it. I need it so that it can help me correct Chromatic Aberration in portraits. I have tried importing photos but nothing will import. They won't import as raw files from memory card or jpeg from desktop or external drive. Loads fine into Photoshop Elements. If someone has a fix to this, please help. I will need step-by-step instructions. I don't understand complicated technology lingo. I'm using a Mac. My camera is a Canon T3i. My card is a Lexar…tying to think if there is anymore info I need to give. Please help before I go bald. Thanks!

Import dialog - change in appereance and functionality

HI!
I have spent hours of searching photographs accidentaly imported in different Catalogue. To avoid this problem, I have idea to highlight Catalogue name when importing photographs.
This is one of stupid mistakes that anyone can make: Came from shooting, start importing photographs before you have checked catalogue where you are importing photographs.Import has finished, camera turned off, and you have switched on other catalogue to finish unfinished job. After that you start to scratch your head where are the photographs....
Easy solution for "lost heads" like mine can be:
When someone "with lost minds" see fault catalogue name, he or she can stop importing process and create new or load appropriate catalogue.

OK, I have since discovered that the second iPhone device is listed only when my iPhone is plugged into a DIFFERENT USB port on my MBP. If I plug it into the same port I usually use, it is only listed one. However, both Aperture and iPhoto still see one iPhone device whether it is plugged in or not, and both show images with outlines only and won't import photos. So strange

Importing photos in a new folder on Elements 10

When I import photos straight from my SD card tp Elements 10 I have been naming a new folder for them but they are going into sub folders of the last file that I had open. How do I stop this & how do I make move the sub folders into a new folder of it's own. Thanks

Are you using Adobe Photo Downloader to download and import photographs from a SD card? Make sure that option 'Create SubFolder(s)' has value 'None'

IPhoto lockup during import

Using IPhoto 8.1.2 and while importing photographs from a Canon camera, the Image Capture process did transfer each photo (and did delete all photos from the camera), but after that IPhoto locked up. Have I lost the photos from the import and if not where are they?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By lock up do you mean iPhoto won't quit? If so have you tried closing or force quitting iPhoto and reopening?
Just a note: this is exactly why I strongly recommend one does not have Image Capture or iPhoto delete the photos from the memory card. Always use the camera to reformat the card.
OT
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
