IPhone Photos and iPhoto

Ok, I created an iPhone iPhoto Library on my Intel Mac, I did this because I want to keep all my Photos taken on my iPhone in one place. BUT...When I connect my iPhone to the Mac, I always end up copying everything from the "iPhone iPhoto Library" onto my iPhone with the result that I know have around 3 or 4 copies of every photo in my iPhone, iPhoto adds copies every time I connect it to the Mac, what's going wrong am I missing something?
Thanks

Well I don't know the answer to the above issue however I have an issue of my own that I need some help with. When I press on the camera it opens and tells me that there is not enough room to take additional pictures. Please delete some existing photo's. Well I have deleted all the photo's and have restore all settings and I still have this issue. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

no - you can not manage the iPhone photos from your Mac
Yes you have to download them to the Mac - either Sync or PhotoStream
Yes PS is available for some versions of iPhoto - it requires
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later
Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later

Iphone 4 and Iphoto

ok so today i shot a video with my iphone 4 and try to import it in to iphoto. i have done this many times now with my iphone 4 and iphoto. but for some reason now it won't recognize my iphone 4's video format. i checked it and its a .MOV file and i check another video i shot before and its a .MOV file. im wondering if some one can help me out.
what iphoto error says:
" Unreadable files: 1
The Following file could not be imported (The File is an unrecognized format)
/Users/......../Pictures/iPhoto Library/Import/Originals/Roll 1/IMG_0163.MOV"
Its the same file type as other videos ive imported on iphoto.
Can Some Help me out here. i tried restarting my iphone and iphoto, unpluging my iphone and plugging it back into my mac. nothing is working.
Thanks

HI Guys, I had the same problem..
This is how I solved the issue, hope it helps for you. Go into 'Disk Utility' in your Applications/Utilities folder. Open it up and click on your main Hard Drive and at the bottom of the page you will see 'Repair Permissions'. Wait for several minutes (sometimes it can take a while) and then restart your computer and try plugging in your iPhone again.
I found that sometimes videos sent to me through WhatsApp or once I've used 'Front Row' for some reason jogs the permission preferences in iChat and iPhoto.
Hope this helps!

There is no way to view your photos via iCloud.com. Videos are not uploaded.
Photo Stream merely "pushes" the photos to your other devices.

I just imported photos from my iPhone 4 and iPhoto crashed while finishing import and those photos are gone from my phone and computer

I just tried to import photos form my iPhone 4 to iPhoto...it seemed to get all the way to the end and then iPhoto wasn't responding in the
"finishing import" stage. I had already chosen (for the first time ever because I didn't trust it) to delete the photos from my phone. I seems to have imported some (though I can't find them) and deleted them from my iphone...so the import wasn't complete but there are photos missing from both my comp
and the phone. CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIND THEM? I restarted my computer and then launched iPhoto holding down command and option buttons and chose to "rebuild library from automatic backup". I still can't find them.
help?

hi rosanne,
may i know where to find the modified folder? i have the same problem, unbelievable!
Thanks!

IPhone 4 and iPhoto 9 import issue

I just bought an iPhone 4 to replace my iPhone 3GS a few days ago. I finally had a chance to try its camera this weekend. Much to my surprise, all the photos I imported into iPhoto 9 on my MacBook Pro lost their XIF and geotag data once they landed in my iPhoto 9 library. I deleted the photos from my iPhone 4 so I couldn't go back to verify that the information was there. So tonight, I went out for a walk and I shot a few more photos with my iPhone 4. Instead of importing them into iPhoto 9, I used Image Capture to import them from my iPhone 4 into my MBP's Pictures folder. Then I checked and all the XIF and geotag data survived the transfer. I then imported the photos into iPhoto 9 by dragging them onto its icon in the Dock. I then was able to view the XIF and geotag data from within iPhoto 9.
So my question is, why can't iPhoto 9 import the XIF and geotag data in photos directly from the iPhone 4? Is there any way I can fix this via some optional setting or am I do I need to wait for Apple to resolve this issue?

I don't have any problem importing photos from my iPhone 4 with iPhoto '09 (v 8.1.2)--it just works, so I really don't know what might be going wrong. I import by selecting my iPhone 4 in the iPhoto Devices and then select the ones I want to import and click on import selected. It has never failed to also import the EXIF data including the geolocation/camera info.

How to fix continued crashes and hangs of iPhone, iTunes and iPhoto.

PROBLEM
I started to suffer these immediate problems when getting iPhone:
1. When the iPhone is connected to the computer, iTunes would hang, and also iPhoto would hang.
2. Both would need to be restarted from the opt-apple-esc key option.
3. When iTunes was re-started, it would not "see" the iPhone, or even if it "saw" the iPhone, it would refuse to sync. This refusal was either from (a) an error reporting a connection error, or (b) the process of synch would hang.
4. iPhoto about 1/2 of the time would not properly import photos.
DIAGNOSIS
After trial and error, I came to the following conclusions:
a/ Part of the problem involved the USB connector on my laptop. It was not connecting 100%, so by jiggling it and making sure it was clean, the connection errors started to decrease some, (but did not go away).
b/ By pulling up the Process Monitor, I noticed that the CPU was becoming overloaded each time the iTunes and iPhoto applications crashed. (I have an older machine, a PowerBook g4 17" with 1GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM.
HOW TO FIX PROBLEM
The following worked for me:
1/ For iPhoto, change the settings so that it does NOT automatically launch when the iPhone is plugged in. This is done with iPhoto>Preferences>General: "Connection Camera Opens" > No Application. You can still use iPhoto with your iPhone, but it will not automatically launch when the iPhone is plugged in. This will stop the hanging. [at least it did for me]
2/ For iTunes, disable the option to "sync when plugged in" iTunes>Preferences>Syncing> check the box "disable automatic syncing".
The effect of these actions is to disable the complex chain of events that occurs when the iPhone is plugged in. I believe my CPU just can not handle them. So once they are disabled, there is no problem doing this manually. iPhoto does not launch, even if you have not photographs to upload, and iTunes does not try to launch and sync all in one giant transaction. You simply click the "sync" button when you wish to sync.
My suggestion is that if you have an older mac, check to see if the CPU is getting overwhelmed. If it is, then these setting might help you. For me, after they were put in place, I've not had quite as many problems. About 1/2 the time, iTunes will not sync, but this is easily fixed by simply quitting and restarting iTunes. That seems to work most of the time.

- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone 4s and iPhoto question

I downloaded iPhoto to my iPhone 4S and it automatically downloaded all of my photos through the Cloud to my phone. I think all of my photos are duplicated between iPhoto and the Photo default app that came with the phone. What is the advantage of iPhoto on my phone? If I chose to remove it to free up space on my phone, will my photos be safe on my computer and my Photo app?
In relation to this. Before iTunes upgraded to the latest version, I would plug my phone in and set the sync settings for my iPhoto on my Mac to Photo folder on my phone through iTunes. Where are those preferences located now???
Thanks!

Importing movies to purple iMovie from iPhone, iPad, and iPhoto

I have created movies on my iphone and on a Lumix camera. I am trying to figure out the best way to have all my movies in iMovie rather than iPhoto.
I have already likely made the mistake of transfering my Lumix data to an iPad with iOS while I was in Asia. In retrospect, I suppose the best way to get those pictures from my iPad to iMovie would have been to not export the movie from my iPad to my Camera Roll and into iPhoto but rather from my iPad to iMovie.
I also suspect that my iPhone pictures seen on Photo Stream on my iPad would have been best exported to iMovie and from my my iOS iMovie App to send to my Mac iMovie application.
Are these two ideas correct?
However, some of my movies are already imported into my desktop iPhoto. So, I tried dragging and dropping to my Mac's desktop. I then imported my movies (that came from my iPhone) into my Purple version of iMovie. That was fine except when I trashed my desktop movie to the Trash, it became greyed out in iMovie. So, next question is what I am doing wrong at this point?
Next, my movies from my Lumix imported into my iPad were also then transferred to my Mac OS iPhoto. I dragged those pictures to my desktop but the format is not xx.mp4 but rather is xx.MOV. Is there a better way of dealing with my iPhoto xx.MOV's to get them into Purple iMovie?
Finally, should I just leave all my movies in iPhoto and when in iMovie desktop just view them from the Aperture or iPhoto sidebar? Can they or should they be imported from the sidebar into iMovie? If so, can they safely be deleted from iPhoto or will my iMovie clips return to being greyed-out?
I would ideally like all my movies in iMovie and not have duplicate movies in iMovie and iPhoto.What is the best way moving forward to do this properly and to be optimizing my time and organization?
Thank you

Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

Help-how do you move iphone photos into iphoto on iMac??

I have 4,814 photos in my iphoto library (categorized into 114 events). On my iphone 4, I have 1,028 photos taken exclusively with the phone. Can someone tell me how to get all of my iphone photos into my iphoto library on my iMac?
Thanks----

Never mind..figured it out. Just in case anyone else is dense like me, just plug iphone into iMac, then launch iphoto. In iphoto, the iphone will be listed on the left as a device and all your iphone photos will show up to the right. Simply click import at the bottom of the screen and you're on your way.

HT201386 iCloud photos and iPhoto on iMac

I want to use iCloud photos and sync my iMac iPhoto, with the albums etc. I tried creating an album on iPhone 6 which appears in iCloud photos but doesn't allow me to put photos into it.
Is it too soon as its only in beta
Any other ideas of how to get iPhoto albums into iCloud photo beta?

Hi Swandy. I also had this problem. I did two things which cured it - not sure if both are needed. Firstly, I created a new test file in Pages and saved it to my iCloud Drive. Then I quit all running programs and shut down my iMac. Once I re-started, iCloud Drive was accessible through the Finder Sidebar and showed all my iCloud files. I was then able to move by dragging and delete files. If (like me) you get 'unable to move' messages just open the file and resolve by clicking which version you want to keep. Hope that helps. Peter.

Why can't I export iPhone photos from iPhoto?

iPhoto recently started crashing whenever I try to export photos that have been imported from my iPhone.
No problems exporting photos from other cameras, just the iPhone.
In fact, If I mix photos from several cameras in one Event and try to export them all, the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
Any clue why and/or how to fix this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI. I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.

the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
Is it just one particuar photo? Have your photos been edited on the iPhone with iOS 7 effects? HDR photos, panoramic photos?
and then I export the edited photos to the hard drive on my iMac so I can burn them to a CD.
Does iPhoto only crash, when you export the photos with "File > Export > Edited" or also, when you export them with "File > Export > Original"?
If you can export the originals, check, if the photos areo.k. and you can open them in Preview.
I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.
That is a risky combination. iPhoto 8.1.2 is not fully supported on Mavericks, and probably your current problem is due to the fact, that iPhoto 8.1.2 does not work well withMavericks. Is there a reason, that you do not want to update to iPhoto 9.5.1 for full compatibility?

Archiving old photos and iPhoto 9.5

So,
The newest version of iPhoto has not only dropped the ability to burn old photos to CD and DVD, it's stopped supporting reading libraries that are set read-only.
Even worse, even if you do use the iPhoto Library Ugrader to convert a backup DVD to modern format, when you open in it in iPhoto, iPhoto will promply try to sync it to your iPad, your iPhone, PhotoStream and everything else.
SO HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO ARCHIVE OLD PHOTOS?!?
This is ridiculous. Does anyone have any idea for a good process for archiving old photos in a way that they can still be accessed without worrying about them being "contaminated" with stuff from your photostream or other current sources?

You archive old libraries to HD's. Turn off Photostream, FB et al and nothing will be "infected".
You might be able to use an app like Keyboard Maestro to automate the upgrade procedure.
My sole contribution to the thread prior to your sarcasm. It offers two solutions to your queries. No argument. I blamed you for nothing, I simply explained the problem you have and indeed offered a solution. Nowhere do I say that anything is your wife's fault, so the notion that I blamed her for anything is twaddle. You're the one that mentioned it.
I said nothign about exporting photos at all, and the solution I suggested woud preserve all the tags, descriptions and ratings. But then, if you weren't so busy being sacastic to people who are trying to help you, you might read what I said again:
The solution to your iPhoto problem is simple: Copy all the Libraries to a HD. Upgrade them. Merge them into one. Turn off any features you don't want. Have a robust back up system in place.
Export? Lose metadata? Not if you do it right.

Iphone 4 and iphoto upgraded to latest - now acting strange

i just updated my iphone 4 and the latest iphoto software - and now it's acting strange:
when i've taken new photos on the iphone and plug it in to the imac, to load the pics into iphoto, it shows the latest photos as well as some random photos from 6 months ago.
before the updates i would just plug in and only the newest photos would show up.
any idea what's going on?
thanks!

still trying to find a solution... does anyone have any idea? thanks!
