Iphone4 photos to iphoto on macbook

not sure if i should post this on macbook or iphone site.
i (or a genius at apple) have moved my iphoto library to an external hard drive. my itunes library is on there as well.
whenever i connect my iphone to my macbook to sync, the iphoto icon pops up. sometimes i just close it out, because i don't have new photos i want to sync. but sometimes when i want to sync new photos from my iphone 4, the photo library pops up, but i can't get to the site where i have the option to upload/download new photos from my phone to my library.
how do i get to the site that allows me to download my new photos to the library? sometimes it pops up, sometimes it doesn't.
thanks.

Click on your phone icon in the iPhoto Window?
Regards

Some photos in iPhotos on MacBook Pro show "!" Do I have too many photos?

Some photos in iPhotos on MacBook Pro show "!" There are 7000 photos.
Do I have too many photos and have to delete some?

No.
Have a current backup.
Hold the option command keys and launch iPhoto to launch the First aid.
Start with repairing permissions first and proceed from there.
If you need to be more agressive, try the tried and true:

How do I delete an album and the photos from iphoto on macbook pro

I have set up several photo albums on my macbook pro while expereimenting with macro. The experiments are completed and I want to delete several entire albuns, including the name and all the photos within the album. How do I that? Thanks in advance.

Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the trash bin as above.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

Open itunes, connect iphone, import pics.
You can set your preferences in iphoto to open when a camera is connected.

I lost my iPhoto library on external disk so how do I recover iPhone photos to iPhoto on MacBook?

I moved all of my photos to an external disk. No other backup. Big mistake. Now, how do I transfer photos on my iPhone (albums, events, faces) to my MacBook iPhoto library, which is now empty?

It sounds like you were running a "referenced" library? Were you?
Click to view full size
If you didi and you moved the photos to the EHD you would get a "Can't find XXXXX" message when you try to view a photos. Is that what you get?
Are those photos still on the EHD? You'll have to explain in more detail exactly what you did and how you did it before we can give you any suggestions on how to get back in business.

Moving photos from iPhoto in macbook pro to new iMac

We recently got a new iMac. Pumped to move photos from 13" Macbook Pro to huge iMac, right? Well this has been quite a crazy effort! So far, here is what I have tried unsuccessfully:
1) Moving iPhoto library (from the icon) to external hard drive and then moving that file onto the computer. I cannot get it to move from the hard drive into my photo folder on the iMac. I tried to just click it and upload the pictures but then only about half of a size of each photo shows up and is really screwed up.
2) Tried by bluetooth (93gb). Just froze up the Macbook Pro program trying to do that.
3) Tried sharing wireless connection
4) Tried hooking up an ethernet cord between the two.
What I run into over and over is that I cannot click and drag the iPhoto Library icon over to my iMac.
So any ideas? Initially did all photo files over but it made two and three copies of each of them and my research of this has said to use the iPhoto Library icon.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

I may have just figured out part of the problem. I was having trouble dragging files and discovered others were having the same problems through these forums. Restarted the computer and bam...I can drag the file now! Thought I was going to go crazy. We'll see if this works ultimately.
Thanks Larry

IPhone4S photos to iPhoto on IMac7,1

With previous iPhones, the transfer from the iPhone to the iMac went flawlessly.
Now with the iPhone4S, several photos transfer correctly and then I get
"Unreadable Files: # The following file(s) could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)"
Then I get a list of IMG_xxxx.JPG files that were not imported.
If I eject the iPhone in the iTunes window and disconnect the cable to the iPhone - and then reconnect, the rest of the .JPG files transfer without incident.
What is going on?

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.

Since upgrading to mountain lion on my macbook pro, i cannot email photos from iphoto.
i can select the picture but when sending it, an error symbol appears.
Any ideas ?

This doesn't work for me at all. I tried entering exactly the same information that I used to set up my regular email account and I'm still getting an error message. I even tried switching to using my gmail account and neither one worked. Then it got hung up and had to repair my database! I have a lot of photos on my Mac (thank goodness they're backed up) and I was really sweating it for a moment.
Apple is so easy until it's not. I find this to be really aggrevating and I'm irritated that it hasn't been fixed. In fact I did an online search and someone described this same problem in detail and it was exactly what was happening to me. Same error messages.
I'm frustrated that Apple keeps updating it's operating system and then we go through these glitches.
And while I'm at it, I have never had such a frustrating time using my login information as I have to get into this forum! Why do they make it so difficult? There's just something about the way it's worded that get's me messed up every time. Meanwhile, at least get iPhoto fixed!

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Note - that no internet backup service has been proven to be safe and effective for backing up the iPhoto library - unless you personally have backup uyp an iPhoto library and restored it sucussfuly form one it should not be recommended - a large number of people have lost their photos trying it

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos.

Is there a way to stop iPhoto storing my photo stream photos on the mac hard drive when enabled? They have not been imported to my library. I have no photos saved on my MacBook Air yet 50gb of Hardrive space is taken up by photos. When I turn off photo stream on iCloud preferences the memory is freed up. I like to be able to access my icloud photo streams on
my macbook but it has a small Hardrive and loosing that much space is annoying and it kind of voids the point of photo streams. Is there a way I can stop
this ?

Is there a way I can stop
this ?
No, Photo Stream is syncing with iCloud. The most recent 1000 photos in iCloud will be buffered on your mac, even if you do not import them to your photo library, if you enable My Photo Stream.
See this link: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.

How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card. Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?

Are they taking space in all of these locations?
It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture.
iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once. But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive. Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files.
