IPhone photos to iMac iPhoto

I have a new 3GS. It will not email my iPhone photos nor can I import them into my iMac running iLife 08 and OS 10.5.7. The iPhone shows up in iPhoto on the iMac but it says there are no photos on it when there are. I did not have this problem with either my previous 3G or 2G.

How are you attempting to email the photos? The mot direct way is the Share function in the Photos app .. though that will give you 800x600 version. Or you can copy them there and paste them into an email. But there are known problems emailing photos via Yahoo.
If I open iPhoto and plug in my 3GS, the photos appear in iPhoto. If not operator error, perhaps your 3GS has a problem.

  • Is it possible to look a photos from iMac/iPhoto (or Time Capsule)) with iPad?

    Hi,
    I have all my photos in iMac/iPhoto. I have also a back up available in Time Capsule.
    Apple TV device is also available and connected to videoprojector.
    I want to look my photos with a iPad? How to to that?
    And is it possible to get those viewed from a Time Capsule -> Apple TV -> videoprojector?
    Thanks 

    Using that system, no it's not possible to edit a pic from the shared library and have the edit reflected on the min library. That sharing is intended for viewing only, and the shared library cannot be altered in any way by the client.
    If you want the other machine to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
    Quit iPhoto on both machines
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a dmg.
    (Some people have had success putting the library in the Users/ Shared folder. If you do this make sure the file permissions are set to allow read/write access to everyone.)
    On each machine in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both machines will have full access to the library, in fact, both machines will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How to share iPad Photos and iMac iPhoto via network?

    I've recently added an iPad 2 to my Apple system.  Can anyone tell me how to access my iMac's iPhoto library (OSX 10.7.2) with the iPad 2's Photo's app (or other app) via my Apple Extreme home network?  I'm running iOS 5 on the iPad.
    It's clearly possible (and I've done it) to share iPhoto libraries between computers running OSX and iPhoto over my network.  On my iMac, iPhoto Preferences>Sharing opens a window with clear options to enable this service:
    However, I have yet to find the app on the iPad 2 which will perform the same function so I can link libraries between my desktop and my iPad.  Is there one, or a third party app for this?
    Thanks

    In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
    But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4).  Snow Leopard is now two years old.  I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

  • PC photos to iMac IPhoto

    Returning to Mac from PC. Last used Mac in 1992. Much changed and bou is it lovely, but...
    Copied my PC photos to a folder on iMac via network connection to PC. Then imported photos (9K+ photos) to iPhoto. Proceeded to merge, edit, organize, etc. Completed work. Set my screen saver to "Photos" and all went well until I shut down my PC. Now the screen saver cannot find the photos. "MY Pictures" folder from PC appears on the desktop while PC is on and disappears when PC turned off. I am assuming from what I read that I only "referenced" the photos on import rather than un-clicking something on import and having a "true" copy.
    Is there a way to re-import in such a way as to not lose the editing, organizing, deleting etc. or must I empty my iPhoto Library and import all 9K photos again and do all the editing again?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The first thing to do is to confirm this is the case.
    Go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and see if 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import' is unchecked.
    If it is, make sure it's checked from this point out.
    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it? Where is the file?
    When you run a referenced Library iPhoto creates an Alias in the Originals folder (within the iPhoto Library) to the actual file. What you need to do is replace that alias with the actual file.
    This thread has some suggestions, including a reference to an app called AliasHerder.

  • IPhone connection to imac iphoto

    I have an imac running Snow Leopard.  I also have an iphone 5 with ios 7.0.3.
    Previously I could connect the phone to the mac and it would be available as a device in iphoto.  No longer!
    Any tips to get this going agin please?  Very frustrating having to email all photos from the phone to load them onto the mac.

    It may not be the case for all iPhone users after upgrading to iOS 7.x.x, but I had to authorize my MacBook Pro after installing the new iOS version. Maybe you should go to the Store menu in iTunes, and check if your Mac is authorized or not. If not, well, then, authorize it...
    After that, you may have to restart iTunes.

  • How can i transfer all my photos from iMac iPhoto Library to macbook pro to iPhoto or Adobe Lightroom 5

    Just bought a 13.3" Macbook Pro Retina display Mid 2014 and would like to transfer all my Photos from my iMac to my Macbook Pro.
    I have a thunderbolt cable ?????? Would it work if i connect them together and how ? If i can get some assistance and instructions on how to do it , Will be appreciated .
    Best regards
    Sam

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    If you're moving to Lightroom:
    You need to export the images from iPhoto to the Finder, then import them to your Lightroom Catalogue.

  • Iphone photos folders to iphoto

    Hi
    I have taken pictures on my iPhone4 and organised them into various albums I've created in the 'photos' app that comes with the phone. When I download them into iPhoto, willl they stay referenced to the albums, or end up all jumbled up again in iPhoto? I've plugged the phone into my MacbookPro and I see an import button highlighgted in iPhoto, but no option to choose which folder I want to download.

    at this time theere is no connection between orgianization on an iPhone and on teh Mac - the Mac improts the photos as photos just like from a camera

  • Set of iPhone photos vanishing from iPhoto

    I'm having a problem importing a particular set of photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. The import seems to go fine, I transfer and even edit the photos, put them in a sub folder. But a few minutes later, I discover they have disappeared. The "last import" folder and my subfolder are blank, and there is no trace of them on the "Event" screen. I have repeated this process five or six times and the same thing happens every time. However, the photos stayed long enough for me to upload one to Facebook and put copies in the "Pictures" folder on my Mac, all of which I still have. But why don't they stay in iPhoto? The rest of the library seems unaffected, and I have never had this problem before.

    Judith
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import these pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Why won't iPhone photos import into iPhoto?

    When I try to import photos from iPhone 4S to iPhoto '08 I get a message saying it doesn't recognize the files. I can see the photos fine on my phone and can even text message and email them without any problem. Every time I try to import new photos I get this same message. Therefore, I have not been able to import any new photos or videos I've taken for over a month. Please, anyone out there know how to solve this problem?

    Good to read and note error messages - it turns out that there is a reason to have them - they often explain problems and the solution to the problem
    Do you have any new photos in the camera roll that have not been previously imported? have you triedPhotoStream - that is generally the prefered way to import photos now? What happens when you click on the phone in the source pane?

  • How do i get my iPhone photo albums to iPhoto albums

    i am trying to make albums in my iphoto that look like my photos app on my i phone and i would like to know how to do that

    You can create albums in iPhoto on your Mac by selecting photos and using the command "File > New Album".
    What features exactly from your Photos.app do you want to simulate in iPhoto on your Mac?
    iPhoto on the Mac does not have the "Moments" view with the date and the location.  But the "Events" view will show you the date and the map, when you select an event and click the "info" button.

  • HP Photosart 7520, printing photo from iMac iPhoto, OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 color issues

    First time ever tried printing a photo - on HP photo paper, using HP ink cartridges. It prints a color portrait accurately, except for eye glass frames and shadow shades which it prints in "green". I tried editing the same portrait in iPhoto to black and white and printing.   Again, accurate shades of black and white except for the eye glass frames & shadow shades which  printed in "green". Ruins the photo. Help please.  

    Hello Artiste,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with some portions of the print outs when printing photos.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I have also located a document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Series.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • 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.

  • Iphone photos not appearing in Iphoto

    When I used to plug my Iphone into my Imac, Iphoto started up and my I phone pictures appeared on the screen and I was given the option to import them, or not, into Iphoto; and I thought isn't this easy.
    Now when I plug my Iphone in it still charges like it used to but Iphoto does not appear. If I manually open I photo it acknowledges that the Iphone is plugged in but no photos from my iphone are shown.
    I don't think I have changed any settings.
    Please help!

    Hi,
    Hmm..it should automatically sync your photos. But sometimes, the problem might be from your iPhoto. Check if your iPhoto on both devices is updated. Try restarting your computer too. I think updating the iPhoto on both devices is probably the fix. Try giving it a shot.
