Importing pics from the internet into iphoto

Hello, my 8 year old daughter has to do a presentation on Holland.. so I thought
that I would help her with technology!! We are trying to make a slideshow of pictures from holland, I found a bunch of pics on a website that are perfect.. I dragged the pics into iphoto, put them in order.. but when I begin the slideshow, the pictures (which appear very clear when they are small) get very blurred when they fit the size of the screen. How Can I fix this? Is it possible?
I do not mind leaving the pictures smaller so that they are clearer.. please advise

If the pictures you imported were small photos to begin with, they will be blurry when they enlarge because there is not enough information to make them clear at such a size. These are called "thumbnails," they are low-resolution and only look good when condensed to a small size. Find larger photos and try again with them. You might try clicking on the small photos when you find them on a webpage, sometimes that will load a higher-resolution version of the photo, and you can drag this into iPhoto instead of the thumbnail. Good luck to you and your daughter.

  • How do I copy a photo from the internet to iPhoto library?

    I am a new Mac user. Love it so far! I am trying to drag and drop a photo from the internet into my iPhoto library. I guess I am doing it wrong. Suggestions?
    Thanks so much

    Maybe try right clicking on the pic and then Save As on the desktop and be sure the file type is jpeg or tif or some photo type. Then drop it onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock (assuming you have it there).

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

    Won't work shooting in 60P format. But will work fine in the others. I use the built in card reader in my Mac and it shows up fine in iMovie.

  • (TIP) importing video from 3G S into iPhoto....

    I synced my old 3G, went to the Apple Store and brought home a new 3G S, then restored the 3g backup to the 3G S.
    I then shot some video and tried to import it into my Mac. It did not show up in iPhoto. I quit and restarted iPhoto, I rebooted the iPhone. Video still did not show up in iPhoto.
    My tip: I restarted my computer, then opened iPhoto, at which point the video showed up in iPhoto and was then imported into Mac.
    I think it was caused by my computer seeing the new iPhone with the same name as the old iPhone and a tad confused that there would be video on the 3G. Purely speculation about what the problem was, but this procedure did allow me to finally see the video and import it.
    I had searched for an answer on the forums and found no solutions. Hopefully this will help someone who is having this problem.
    Loving my new phone! Joel.

    This was funny, seeing my own tip as the answer to my problem.
    I've been having some wonky stuff going on when I try to import photos from the iPhone- I get a dialog box telling me the photos are "unreadable files," while showing the names of the files with .png (for the iPhone screenshots) and .jpg (for the shots taken with the 3GS camera). And several photos not showing up at all, and none of the videos showing up.
    This happened the other day, after which I installed the update to iPhoto 8.0.4, after which I restarted the computer- great joy when the photos and videos showed up. I attributed it to the new iPhoto.
    But when it happened again tonight, "unreadable files" and no videos in spite of quitting iPhoto, restarting the phone, hard restarting the phone, and finally restarting the Mac after going searching the forums for any hints about this and seeing this tip from this clever guy. ::grin::
    Hope this helps anyone with this challenge. I'd love to see it cleared up, but it is nice to know there is a way to get it to import.
    Now if I can find a way to import the voice memos from the phone.
    Ciao. Joel.

  • 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?

    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.

  • How can I copy an image/picture from the internet into a word document

    I am trying to copy and paste an image or picture from the internet and insert it into a word document. I select and copy the image from the internet page. I then go to the word document and select past special. When I select 'paste special' it only allows text to be copied and no images or pictures. If I also try to drag the image and place it in the word document. It does not allow me to do so. Any suggestions to fix this issue?

    Considering this is a MS Word issue I'd recommend reposting to that forum. You can find one at:

  • Importing photos from Nikon D5000 into iphoto

    I just got a Nikon D5000 and cannot import my photos directly from the camera to iphoto using the USB cable supplied with the camera. I have no trouble when I use my D80 camera - plug it in to the USB and iphoto starts importing automatically. What am I doing wrong? I even tried using the Nikon Transfer software that came with the camera, but no luck there either. I have already made sure the connections are tight, camera is on and in play mode. I don't know what else to try. Very frustrating...grrrrr.

    Lisa, attach the camera to your Mac, and then launch Image Capture. See what is set as the default whe this particular camera is connected.

  • Is there any way to incorperate video from the internet into your project?

    I am trying to make a movie for a research project for school on Lions. I've never been to Africa to get the footage I need to make this movie but the Internet has great footage that I would like to incorporate in my film. Is it possible to take some footage from the internet and put it in my movie?

    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"  is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library. 
    The thing is:  I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality.  It is so much more convenient and user friendly.  Given the choice between having the display seperate from the  processing, or having it be convenient and easy  to work with, I choose the later option.
    For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system..   I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
    Possible or no?

  • When I import pictures from my camera into iPhoto, does it import the original photo size?

    I've been importing pictures from my camera & my phone into iphoto, but I'm not sure if it's automatically importing it as the original file size and not changing it into a smaller photo... Is there a way I can check this?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Yes it imports a byte by byte copy of the photo.
    What do you mean by 'size'? Do you mean file size? Or the dimensions of the photo (length by breadth)?
    You can compare simply by exporting the original out of iPhoto
    File -> Export, and set the kind to Original

  • HELP! Import iPhoto 4 pics from external drive into iPhoto 5

    I had computer issues so cleared my hard drive which was with iPhoto 4
    Moved the entire iPhoto Library to my external.
    When they updated my software they used the 5 version.
    Now I am having issues getting iPhoto 5 to recognize my data.
    I have tried various way indicated... but each one presents with a different problem.
    * If I pull them directly from the External drive to the Photo finder window - then when I open iPhoto i get the spinning wheel for HOURS (quit after 12).
    * If I drag them directly to Iphoto (either the entire folder OR year by year)
    They do show up in iPhoto, however, in iPhoto ALL dates are the date I pulled the iPhoto Library onto my External drive. Also, when in iPhoto there are film roles, however, the events are mixed up.
    I have tried this about 10 times, all different ways, my latest is now it imports them in DUPLICATE (and I had deleted teh thumb files prior to import)
    My question:
    How do I pull my iPhoto 4 library into iPhoto 5 and KEEP proper fiilm roles to include 1) Correct pictures in each 2) correct dates and 3) preserve the role titles 4) not duplicated
    HELP!!!
    THANKS!

    Here are some instructions from Apple in iPhoto Help that explain how to switch from your normal iphoto library (on your internal drive) to your older iphoto library (on your external drive:
    "You can switch from the photo library you're currently working on to another one you've already created.
    1.Quit iPhoto.
    2.Rename your current iPhoto Library folder in the Finder or move it to a new location on your hard disk, and then open iPhoto.
    3. Tip: If you don't want to rename or move your current iPhoto Library folder, hold down the Option key while opening iPhoto.
    4. Click Find Library.
    5. Choose the library you want to display.
    6. Click Open.
    The library appears in the iPhoto viewing area."
    If you succeed in doing this, you can thus direct your iphoto 5 program to open the iphoto 4 library on your external. If this succeeds, iphoto 5 will automatically convert that library to iphoto 5. Then you can burn your external drive iphoto 5 library to CD or DVD using the "burn" function from within iphoto. It is best if you can fit everything on one CD or DVD, but if not, you can burn by album, or by roll, or even by date. Make sure you burn this disk (or these disks) from within iphoto 5. Then, following the above instructions again, revert back to your internal drive iphoto 5 library. Then, while iphoto is running, insert those CDs/DVDs you burned from within iphoto earlier and when you do, each will appear inside iphoto along with your other albums. Each CD or DVD, as you insert it, will look like another album. You can then import those into your existing internal drive library. Unless you hhave many thousands of photos, this should not take a long time.
    By the way, if ALL your photos are in that external drive iphoto library, you can first quit iphoto and then you can drag it over and replace your internal drive iPhoto Library with the external drive iPhoto Library. Then iPhoto 5 will convert the older library automatically when it starts up.
    Before doing any of these things, I suggest backing up all your photos to something safe as if there is some corruption in your original library, it could get mangled in a way that makes it unusable and then you'll need that backup.
    I have actually done what I have descriibed above. We have an older iMac G3 with iPhoto 4. We got my daughter a new iMac G5 which came with iPhoto 5. I copied over her iPhoto Library from the iMac G3 which had been running iPhoto 4, and when she started iPhoto 5 for the first time on the new iMac, it converted everything in the old iPhoto Library (created under iPhoto 4) to iPhoto 5.
    You would only need the CDs/DVDs if you have two libraries you want to merge, one being an iPhoto 4 Library, and the other being an iPhoto 5 Library.
    There is a guy named "Old Toad" who sometimes comments in this forum. He probably has a better way of doing this.
