Importing photos from iphoto into idvd

I am trying to import photos from iphoto into idvd for a slideshow. When the photos move into idvd they are not in the same order as they were in the iphoto library. What could be the possible cause of this?? I did go into iphoto and place comments in after the fact. Would that have anything to do with it?

I have worked with many users who like to take iPhoto albums and make DVDs of them with iDVD. However, one very annoying bug (feature?) has to do with the fact that when you are in iDVD, it randomizes the sort order of the Photos in your album. Not only that, but it is painstaking and time consuming changing the order in iDVD.
My solution..
Select All in the album in iPhoto you want to use in iDVD as a slideshow. Then use File -> Export -> File Export. The secret is to select "Use Album Name" as this will rename the images in sequential order, based on the order that you put them in. Save them in their own new folder somehwere easy to find (ie on the Desktop).
Then, in iDVD, either drag, or I believe you can import the entire folder into the Slideshow project window, and voila! your slides are in order. I believe you can throw away the folder with the exported images as they should now be saved into the Project, but don't quote me on that.

Import Photos from IPhoto into 3rd party Photo Book Maker?

Using BookSmart from Blurb, to make a photo book, this a GREAT piece of software BTW, I need to import photos from IPhoto and can't seem to see how do it? Not sure I even can. Any help??

Assuming the program has an Import option that brings up an Open/Save/Attach file browser window, look in the left hand sidebar for Photos, under the Media heading at the bottom. It will show you your iPhoto library. Probably easiest if you first create an album in iPhoto for the photos you think you are likely to use.
Alternatively, browse the Blurb site for an FAQ and find:

How do I use iPhoto pictures with BookSmart?
To view JPGs and PNGs that are stored in iPhoto, click the My iPhoto Images bar in the left content column of BookSmart. Choose which album you’d like to view via the dropdown menu, and then drag and drop the images into your book. BookSmart will only make copies of images you actually drag (or autoflow) to pages of your book.

Importing photos from iphoto into aperture

Hi
I am currently importing my photos one album at a time from iphoto into aperture as this is what I was told is the best way to do it. My organization up to now ***** so I am trying to organize everything now. But I have pictures in my iphoto library that were never put into an album, so how will I be sure that I have all the photos imported into aperture before I delete them???? Also how can you tell if all the pictures in a project are in an album? I had a picture in 2 different albums and deleted it from one album but it deleted it from both - what did i do wrong??

You may want to invest a tiny bit of time reading something like this before you put a whole bunch of time into organizing things in Aperture:

How can I import photos from iPhoto into a power point presentation

I would like to take a group of photos from iphoto and import them into a power point(for mac) presentation- the PP for windows allows you to take a large number of pics and make a "photo album presentation" but can figure how to do it in Mac.

If you don't know how to use iPhoto, launch iPhoto on your Mac, and select iPhoto Help from the help drop down menu.
Read the article that KP has posted above and take a look at this below.
In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

How do I import photos from iPhoto into the iMovie Events window? I want to use photos in my iMovie trailer program

i want to use some of my photos from iPhoto library in the iMovie Trailer program - it won't let me import them. I tired to sneak them into the Events library but can't seem to be able to do that either when using the imovie trailer feature, I have to open up a different project to be able to import photos, but only able to drop them directly into a project, not the events folder -- I can't get photos into the event folder.

You cannot add photos to a trailer.
The solution is to get as far as you can in the Trailer withou adding the photos. Then, select the trailer in the Project Library List, and click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT. Now it is an iMovie Project, and you can do anything that iMovie can do, including add photos wherever you want.

Importing photos from iPhoto into iPhone

I know you can import from iphone to iphoto...
is there a way to import from iphoto to iphone?

Yes connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab check the sync box and select from the menu next to Sync photos from: "iPhoto" instead of "choose folder"

Elements importing photos from iPhoto into nonsensical folders - how do I convert events or import into dated folders from iPhoto into elements?

Please help! Can't seem to find the answer on the website or anywhere else online. I don't see an option to convert events from iPhoto into folders in elements. Any advice would be appreciated.

The whole point of a program like organizer is to ignore the folders and use tags and categories instead. However, if you want to preserve the iphoto events then the way to do it is not to use "from iphoto" but rather to export each event from iphoto separately, organize your folders how you want them, where you want them and then use "from files and folders" instead.

Audiio problems importing slideshow from iphoto into idvd

Hello everyone, I'm new at creating slide shows and videos. I'm creating a montage for a party.
I have created a slides how in iphoto 09, exported it, then opened it in idvd 09. Every time, something gets screwed up in the music I had chosen to play along with the slides how. Usually the first song plays fine, then the second song plays part way, then the first song starts up again.
So, I tried exporting the slide show without audio, figuring I could add it in idvd. However, because it is importing the slide show as a video, I can't seem to get the "audio well" button or any way to add audio to the slide show.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add sound? I have also tried saving the slide show as a quicktime movie, but can't seem to import it into either imovie or idvd. Help!!
Thanks very much.

Importing photos from Iphoto into MS Word?

When I try to import a photo into MS Word from Iphoto the files in my applications folder are not accessible, i.e. the folder is dimmed and will not open to reveal the photos within. If I drag a photo to the desktop and then drag it into my Word document, it works fine. What am I doing wrong??

Welcome ot the Apple discussion forums
If I drag a photo to the desktop and then drag it into my Word document, it works fine. What am I doing wrong??
Nothing - that is one of the many ways to do it
For a bunch of other ways click here.
You don't say what OS you have - if it is leopard when you import look down in the media section at the lower left
The iPhoto library is a database and should not be accessed directly - it is now a Unix style package

How can I import photos from Iphoto into my Ipad

I tried to import photos I have on Iphoto into my new Ipad, but there is no import feature on Ipad to do so unless you put them in some sort of a folder, which I do not know how to do.
Can anyone help?

Importing photos from iPhoto into iTunes

Hey all,
Here is what I did step by step:
1) Opened iTunes
2) Selected an album & clicked command + i
3) Clicked the blank artwork box to import some album artwork
4) A box opened up, showing the iChat Icons folder and the Photo Booth folder
At this point, I don't quite know what I did, but I quit the application, re-opened it, and tried it again. But when I did it the second time, a third folder appeared--the iPhoto Library folder. However, it is grayed out and I can't access it to import any album artwork.
Does anybody know why this happened? Why did that folder appear the second time I opened it, and why is it grayed out? Is this normal?
I'm new to macs, so any and all help is very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your responses. Just wanted to post an update in case anybody else has this "problem." For starters, it's not really a problem. Chris, you are right--it is supposed to be that way. I called up Apple tech support and the technician explained that if it were not grayed out, iTunes would import the entire library, although fwiw, he didn't sound too sure. At any rate, bottom line is that that is perfectly normal.

When I import photos from iPhoto into iMovie, it becomes blurry, why????

I have 10.0.4 version of iMovie. I have made movies before & have never had this problem. The pictures are clear in iPhoto. I have tried making it a "still" photo instead of using the Ken Burns effect...still blurry. Please help!!! This is a video for my nephew's wedding so I need it fixed!

My solution was rather easy-too easy. A "duh" moment...... All I had to do to be able to put photos on my iMovie was to create a new iMovie project-I thought that one that was there when I opened iMovie for the first time was a 'project' but apparently not. Once I went to File--->New Project and then found the iPhoto library where the pictures were that I wanted in the project, I could now drag those pictures into the top left corner. Like I said, it was a "duh" moment for me and I hope this helps you out! It was so simple but not obvious at first. Let me know if it works for you or not. Judy

How to effectively import photos from iPhoto

I had a pretty large iPhoto library and try to keep it under control by exporting photos into folders on an external HD. I also have mobile me albums from multiple computers live.
I tried importing photos from iPhoto into Aperture and encounter problems. Not only do events come in as projects, but a huge number of what I thought were deleted photos from those exported events, Mobile Me albums, etc were imported. It seems that this is clogging everything up because Aperture is running so slowly. Also, I feel like something is wrong because if I open up a photo in Aperture, it takes several seconds to become clear.
I do not understand why it is running so slowly. Any tips on how to organize my new library and how Aperture stores the files.
Thanks for the help

I'm not an Aperture expert, but I would empty the trash in your iPhoto library (open iPhoto, right-click on the trash and empty), and then import. I believe that Aperture's projects are equivalent to iPhoto's events. It can take time for not only the import but for Aperture to process everything and generate previews, etc...
I imported about 12,200 pictures and 300 videos on a dual quad-core Mac Pro and it took a couple hours to import everything and finish all the processing.
