IPhone/iPhoto frustration!
I am very frustrated with iPhoto and my iPhone. I take an enormous amount of pictures, and I have come to the limit of my 30 GBs! I tried to sync with my iMac, but most of the 3,000 pictures aren't registering in iPhoto. It only imported 129 pictures! iPhoto doesn't "see" anything else there! I can see these pictures in iPhoto under various monthly Photostreams. Are these permanent from within iPhoto? I know "Photostream" is only supposed to hold the pics for 30 days. How can I be sure? If they are permanent, how do I delete the other pictures from my iPhone?
I can see these pictures in iPhoto under various monthly Photostreams. Are these permanent from within iPhoto?
Yes - those are in events and have been imported to iPhoto and have no connection to the PhotoStream
As to your frustration - no wonder - using a program that yu have not learned is always very frustration - I suggest you go throught th etutorials and take a class so you willunderstand iPhoto and no longer be frustrated

when I connect my iPhone, iPhoto opens and the phone begins charging but iTunes does not recognize it and I cannot sync. Any advice?
Howdy AndieKanaras,
It sounds like your iPhone is being recognized everywhere but in iTunes. I would use the troubleshooting for that issue in the following article, named:
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

iPhoto frustrating error..The volume for "Df23.JPG" cannot be found. It prompts for all photos with this issue rather than offering an option to ignore. I can find the images in spotlight but not in Find Photo. Does anyone have a solution?
Unless you have the source files that were on the TC or Windows machine you will have to start over with a new library as follows:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Your original library will remain intact for further attempts at fixes is so desired.

Managing photo storage on my iPhone/iPhoto/Pictures/External Hard-drive
Hello, I need some help with managing photo storage on my iPhone/iPhoto/Pictures/External Hard-drive.
Background:
I have 1,200 photos/videos on my iPhone 4S on the camera roll and need to delete them to save space. Most are photos/videos of my new baby which I would be devastated to lose, so I want to be 110% sure that I have them backed up properly and accessible.
I frequently hook my iPhone up to iPhoto to download all of the latest photos to iPhoto.
I have done Time Machine back ups and just did a latest one yesterday.
I would like to save my camera roll into a folder on my hard-drive so that all of these photos are in one place in case I need to access them (and not spread across different folders like in iPhoto).
My Mac (Macbook Pro - circa 2009) is now telling me that my 'Starter Disc is nearly full' and won't save all of the photos from my camera roll.
My questions;
Are photos stored both in iPhoto and Pictures folder, and if so are they duplicates?
I've heard that Time Machine only backs up full libraries and so cannot be used to access individual photos - is this true? If so, how do you access individual photos/files from my external hard-drive?
How and where should I delete older photos from to save space on my Mac - iPhoto or Pictures? (once I know how to access them from my external drive if needed).
How do I delete all of my photos from my iPhone camera roll in one go? - I can only see a way to delete the 1,200 of them individually.
Going forward where is the best place for me to synch/upload my photos for medium term storage/access on my Mac?
I would consider myself quite intelligent but when it comes to this topic, I'm happy to be spoken to in very simplistic terms!
Thank you.Import the photos to iPhoto - then select the photos in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) to the desired location

Hello
After upgrading iPhoto 9.1.2 when you synchronize the iphone / iphoto ipad events are not copied correctly (this option checked all the photos on itunes).I found this other thread discussing this topic, no fix, I will revert to 9.1.1 from Time Machine and wait for a new update.

My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll, and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see: Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

Where are iPhone/iPhotos stored?
Here is the short version. Upgraded to a new iPhone 4G. Synced my iPhone 3G first. Laptop took a serious dump. I was able to make a backup of the user data before I had to reinstall. Now iPhoto says library is corrupt (won't repair either and have even tried iPhoto Library Manager). My question is where does iPhone/iPhoto store the orginal .jpg files. I would be willing to copy them somewhere - even if I do lose some metadata.
Please help!
TIAYou can view the contents of your iPhoto library by option-clicking your library, and selecting "Show Package Contents". The photos that were (in some cases) re-seized for iPhone will be accessible from there.
That's one way to view the contents of your library. If that way fails, they will probably be in your iPhone backup, whether it was made in iCloud or iTunes. -
Is there a way? Some iPhone/iPhoto questions
to order the photos so that the latest photos in the past 12 mos are displayed?
The default seems to be oldest first, making it a chore to see recent photos. I have about 4600 photos on there and it's a lot of trouble to see the recent ones.
Also, imports from iPhone to iPhoto sometimes imports dupes even though Do Not Import has been selected. Is there anyway to eliminate these without individually selecting them and deleting?
A sips query could be use to determine dupes, but that would be outside of iPhoto and might screw up the indexing scheme.
Last item: earlier iPhoto created thumbnails that were indexed with and displayed with the full scale images. How can these be easily deleted?
Any ides greatly appreciated.The default seems to be oldest first, making it a chore to see recent photos. I have about 4600 photos on there and it's a lot of trouble to see the recent ones.
I don't believe this can be changed with the iPhone but you don't make use of Albums with iPhoto transferring all or select Albums to the iPhone?
All album photos will be available in the main iPhoto Library with the iPhone - just as with iPhoto but you can select an album and view photos in that album only - it will still be oldest first but makes viewing select photos only with the iPhone easier along with the ability to sort through or view all photos available in all albums at the same time by selecting the Photo Library.
Also, imports from iPhone to iPhoto sometimes imports dupes even though Do Not Import has been selected. Is there anyway to eliminate these without individually selecting them and deleting?
Are you deleting photos taken by the iPhone after being imported into iPhoto? I always delete all photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll after the iPhoto import process and any of these photos I want available on the iPhone, I create a new iPhoto album or place select photos into an existing album, etc. and then these photos are transferred back to my iPhone via the sync process.
Last item: earlier iPhoto created thumbnails that were indexed with and displayed with the full scale images. How can these be easily deleted?
Not sure about this one - are you using iLife 08 and if so, are the same thumbnails available/shown now? -
ITunes no longer opens when I plug in my iPhone - iPhoto does. Help!
Don't know what happened - but when I plug in my iPhone to sync - iPhoto opens up - not iTunes. I went to Help, and changed USB port, restarted computer and iPhone.... iPhoto still opens instead of iTunes. Device only shows up on iPhoto window, not iTune. Is there a fix?
It SHOULD show up in iPhoto if you have photos in your Camera Roll, in addition to opening in iTunes.

Photo pandemonium because of iPhone / iPhoto / MobileMe / iTunes
Ok, let me get this straight:
Albums are created in iPhoto, but will only show up on your iPhone if you sync them via iTunes.
Albums can be viewed on the iPhone by tapping the Photos icon.
MobileMe Gallery(s) are created in iPhoto, but cannot be synced with your iPhone.
MobileMe Gallery(s) can be viewed on the iPhone by using Safari on the iPhone.
Albums and a MobileMe Gallery in iPhoto do not sync with each other.
(That is, if I click on an existing album in iPhoto and then click on "MobileMe" a new MobileMe Gallery will be created. This gallery, however, is not in sync with the original album. If for example, I add a picture to the Album, it will not show up in the MobileMe Gallery unless I add it to the MobileMe Gallery manually as well; presumably at the same time I added it to the album.)
Album's cannot have any pictures added to them via the iPhone. Need to use iPhoto.
MobileMe Gallery(s) can have pictures uploaded to them (via email) from your iPhone.
Is this just way too complicated or is it just me?
(Assuming you subscribe to MobileMe)
1. Why not sync the galleries I create in iPhoto, with the Photos app on the iPhone? Why do I have to use Safari which is often slow (and with AT&T unreliable)
2. Why aren't albums and MMe galleries able to be synced? That way, after I go through the whole iTunes sync thing, I can have the same pictures on my phone, that others see in my MMe Gallery.
(Assuming you don't subscribe to MobileMe)
1. Why can't I add pictures to an Album that is synced to my phone and the next time I sync with iTunes, iPhoto gets updated?
I don't know, this just seems clunky to me.You may leave feedback for Apple at:

HT201317 how do I transfer video from iPhone/iphoto to macbook using iCloud?
I have pics and video on my iphone. Pics transfer great thru photostream, but not video. How do I transfer video to my macbook?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream doesn't include video. Attach your device to your computer with a USB cable and import the video using your photo application (i.e. iPhoto) -
Photo Library, Deleting Photos from iPhone, iPhoto
I have read posts about deleting photos from a photo library using iPhoto. I am a novice: do I have iPhoto as part of iTunes? Maybe the better question is: where on my computer is that photo being sync'd so I can delete it?
JRichson,
iPhoto is a application on Mac Computers. If you are looking a application to use with pictures and to sync with the iPhone then you might want to look at Adobe Photo Shop. Or on a PC you can sync photos from a folder on your computer.
