IPhoto 11 wants to import pics already imported from ipad

Greetings,
Config: MacOS 10.6.8 on a MacPro4,1
iPhoto11 vers 9.2.3(629.52)
iPad 3 retina display, IOS 6.1.3, tethered
Issue: Everytime I attach iPad, iPhoto shows pics which were previously imported along with the new pics I want to import.
When importing the all pics iPhoto wants to import, it knows these few pics are duplicates and prompts the window, import dups ?, doesnt matter what I select. The same pics show up on the next import of new pics next time.
Any ideas are welcomed :-)

Mag, I've had this problem in the past and found a workaround which helped me. I had to do this in this exact order.
1. Plug in device to get the import screen.
2. Select all the photos in iPhoto under the New Photos area.
3. In the upper left corner enter a new event name "Photos Previously Imported" (or anything else you prefer).
4. Hit the "Import Photos" button. If the the pictures were indeed already imported you will get a "Duplicate Photo" dialog box.
5. Choose "Import" and check the "Apply to all duplicates" checkbox.
6. Upon completion select either "keep the photos" on the device or choose to "delete them from device".
7. Eject device and close down iPhoto.
8. Re-launch iPhoto, plug in device and photos should not appear as new photos anymore. (I did this a few times to be sure).
9. Eject device a second time, after device is ejected you can delete the imported Event called "Photos Previously Imported". Close iPhoto.
10. launch iPhoto for a final time and plug in device. If all worked correctly the photos should no longer appear as new photos.
* Note: If this does not work and you selected to keep the photos on your device, some have gotten a different result by choosing to delete them instead. ( Step 6 )
Good luck

IPhoto asking to import videos already there from iPhone

Basically after updating the iPhone to iOS6, all the videos in my Camera Roll now want to re-import into my iPhoto Library, but they are already there.
Annoying because every time I want to import they all come up, but I have checked, the issue seems to be the time stamp, the videos seem to have a time stamp which is 30 seconds out to the ones originally imported. Can someone help?

I have the same exact problem. Happened on both my iPhone 4S and my wife's iPhone 4 when trying to sync against iPhoto after installing the new iPhoto update and upgrading the phones to iOS6. I also noticed the timestamps on the videos differed slightly. Definitely interested in a solution as I don't really want to manually resync all videos and manually delete duplicates to clear out this issue in iPhoto. I have not yet tried iMovie but I wonder if it will have the same problem?

Importing new Photo events from iPad to iPhoto '11

Hi,
I've recently bought the iPad Camera Connection Kit and I used it to import some photos from my camera: this process ended up creating a new event named with the date of the import (I haven't found a way to rename it so far) and an album called "Last import".
I thought that the new event would have been transferred to iPhoto '11 during the next sync with my MacBook. However I found out that's not so: I tried syncing my iPad both via wifi and USB, but the new event doesn't show up in iPhoto '11.
What should I do? Even clicking on "iPad", in iPhoto '11, it shows me only the photos that are in the camera roll...

thank you very much for helping me!
I eventually found out the solution to my problem: however I think it's really non-userfriendly and complicated.
I'll explain everything so that it can be useful for others who are in the same situation as me: I eventually found out that in iPhoto (on the Mac) you see all the photos in your iPad Camera Roll plus all the photos you've imported via the Camera Connection Kit (but they are all mixed up, not divided into albums/folders/whatever...). So if you want to import to iPhoto on your Mac the new photos that are on the iPad you have to manually select them in iPhoto an click on "Import selected...". Then you can rename the event and do whatever you want.
But that's nat all: when you re-sync your iPad iTunes "detects" a new event in iPhoto so it is automatically transferred into the iPad......so you end up by having (on the iPad) two events that contain the same identical photos: the one created automatically when the photos where imported through the Kit and another one imported during the sync process. In order to delete the first one you have to go to Albums and tap on "Last Import", than you have to manually select all the photos and finally delete them: in this way the event "magically" disappears.
I don't know if I've been clear enough but, as the whole process i so complicated, I think there's no other way to explain it.
However I'm very disappointed and in my opinion this is a really frustrating thing that Apple should fix asap!!

Can't import SD card photos from iPad to Mac

So I used the camera connection kit to move photos from an SD card to my iPad, I now need these phtots off my iPad however when I go to iPhoto to import all the pictures on my iPad it informs me that there's a little under 2000 pictures on my iPad.
I know for a fact that there is more than that, in the About section on the iPad it tells me that I have a little over 6000 photos.
On a Windows machine the folders in the DCIM folder are names as follows "100APPLE" "100IMPRT", there is one folder named "***APPLE" and 101 through 148 of the "***IMPRT" folders.
Does anyone know where my pictures have gone? and how I can get them to my iMac from my iPad?
Michael

Ok, now that changes things a bit.
I've heard that the photo transfer app works well.
Picassa should work too.

Photos Keeps Wanting to Import Photos Already Imported

I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 with Photos 1.0 (209.52.0).
Every time I plug my iPhone 6 into my Mac, Photos wants to import certain photos that have already been imported. Seemingly, it's the same photos over and over that Photos wants to import again.
Is there a fix for this behavior?

Thanks for the responses, but never mind. I realized that I was actually importing them originally and then deleting them from iPhotos. I can do the same thing in Photos. No problem, then.

Iphoto- want to keep photos after import not delete

I want to keep the photos on my camera disc after i import into iphoto- when I import and it asks me if I want to keep photos- i click on keep photos and it deletes them off my disc? How do I import and save photos?

When I import it makes you select either delete or keep photos on disc- I have tried both keep and delete and both options delete- are you saying I can by pass that last step of the import and not have to select either delete or keep?
Thanks

How can i re-import pics and videos from my iPhone after i have deleted them on my PC?

I imported all of my pictures and videos on to my PC into a folder. I accidently deleted the folder. So when i try to import everything again, it says iPhone has no new pictures or videos to import. How can I import everything again?
(I imported everything by right-clicking the iphone on 'My Computer' and clicking 'import pictures and videos').

To import photos on iPhone to computer, you can try these ways:
1. You can use iTunes to transfer the photos on iPhone to your computer. Install the latest iTunes and connect iPhone to the computer. Then, you'll see your device on the "Computer (disk)" list , click it, you can see all your pictures on the iPad and you can copy it to the PC.
2. If you have enable iCloud, you can see and copy/transfer the photos you took in the last 30 days on Windows iCloud panel which you have installed on your computer. However, there is an shortcoming that you can not import all photos.
3. Use a third-party tool.
Really hope one of them can help you. If you need more details, please let me know.

Hi, I've uploaded pics to iTunes from iPad using iPhoto app. Can't figure out how to find them in iTunes on my PC to download a copy. Any ideas?

Hi Gavincalderwood,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you imported pictures from your iPad to your PC, this article can help explain where the pictures are stored by default:

Want to recover accidentally deleted photos from iPad.

If there is anyway that I could recover my photos, my sister deleted some photos in camera roll by accident. I want to find those photos because they are very important Thank you!

Have you ever backed up your iPhone data in iTunes or iCloud before? If you have backups available, things will be easy with FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery, it enables you to scan those backups and take a preview of each item one by one.
Hope it can help you.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

ITunes showing Podcasts already deleted from iPad

iPad 3 with iOS 6.0(10A403) and iTunes on Windows 10.7.0.21:
I deleted a couple of Easy Training Podcasts from my iPad. If I click the Music app, it shows "No Music". If I click the Videos app, it shows "No Videos". If I go to Settings, Usage, it shows No Data for both Music and Videos. However, if I connect to my computer and bring up iTunes, then click on Podcasts until Devices, then Podcasts, there is still an entry for Easy iPad Video How to~~~ that I can't get rid of.
Why is that entry still there and how do I get rid of it since it's NOT on my iPad, even though iTunes is showing it.

First try connecting your ipad right click and install from backup. if you don't see the app or itunes store...
...do a full restore. While it is restoring click on Itunes -> preferences -> Devices and delete your backup copy
Or you can just Jailbreak it by going to jailbreakme.com on your ipad

Can't import pics to library

can't import pics to library from computer.is my 80g classic ipod compatible in all ways with windows vista home premium?

Hmm, if you're trying to drag & drop photos onto iTunes you won't get anywhere. iTunes doesn't have a slideshow area. If you'd like to put some of your photos on your iPod take a look at this support article:-

Suddenly I cannot get photos from iPad onto my Mac.

From the beginning, I simply connected the iPad2 to my Mac with the USB, and all photos were uploaded onto my Mac. I've followed all the directions to get updates for both Mac and iPad2. Now none of my new photos upload onto the Mac. Can you help?

I'm not sure how you were importing the photos on your Mac but the two ways that I know of are with iPhoto and Image Capture.
Open iPhoto and go to Preferences>General>Connecting Camera Opens - and you can select iPhoto or Image Capture.
Connect your iPad to your Mac and Open Image Capture. Click on devices and then at the bottom of the left side you can select - Connecting this iPad Opens - and choose the app of your choice from there. These are copied and pasted from Help in the two applications.
When you connect the iPad now, one of the chosen applications will open and let you import the images.
To import photos from iPad:
Connect your iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB cable that came with your iPad.If iPhoto wasn’t already open, it opens for you (unless you changed this preference in iPhoto or your iPad is locked).After your iPad is connected and turned on, iPhoto opens in import view and your iPad appears in the Source list.
By default, iPhoto divides photos into separate Events during the import process.You can optionally enter a description in the Event Name field.If you don’t want iPhoto to automatically create events, deselect the Split Events checkbox at the bottom of the window.If you want to change the time frame used to sort your photos into Events, you can change it in iPhoto preferences.
If you don’t want to see photos that you’ve already imported into iPhoto, select the Hide Photos Already Imported checkbox at the bottom of the window.
Do one of the following:
To import all the photos shown in the iPhoto window, click Import All.
To import a selection of photos, press the Command key while clicking photo thumbnails, or drag to select a group of photos, and then click Import Selected.
To cancel photo transfer at any time during your import, click Stop Import. Then, in the dialog that appears, choose to continue importing the photos, keep the photos that have been imported and stop importing the remaining photos, or delete the photos that have been imported.
After the import process is finished, drag the device icon to the iPhoto Trash, and then disconnect your iPad from your computer by unplugging the Dock Connector to USB cable.Important: Before you disconnect your iPad, wait until all photos have been imported into iPhoto (or until you click Stop Import).
This is from Image Capture. I'm assuming you used Image Capture.
Transferring items automatically
You can automatically transfer items from your camera to your computer whenever you connect the camera to your computer.
To transfer items whenever you connect your camera:
Connect your camera to your computer, and turn the camera on.
Select the camera in the Devices list at the left of the Image Capture window.
From the “Connecting this [device] opens” pop-up menu, choose AutoImporter.If you don’t see that pop-up menu, click the “Show device settings” button in the lower-left corner.
The next time you connect your camera, Image Capture transfers images from the camera to the AutoImporter folder in your Pictures folder (in your home folder).

Can I save photos from iPad that I edited to my main computer?

If I edit pictures on iPad can I then get them back in the edited for to my main computer. Their seems to be lots of photo apps but don't want the final pics just for my ipad would also want them in my main computer.

you need to verify that the app saves a copy back to the photos library. If it does (as a drawing app for my 4 y/o sone does), you can then open that pic back up after importing from ipad to your chosen photo program.

How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

hello,
I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
Another issue.
Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
Please advise,
Have a great day!!
Brandon

A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView
