IPhoto had a auto import folder. does this exist in photos for mac?

I used image capture to get the photos from my iPhone, so that iPhoto didn't open every time i plugged in. there was an auto import folder in iPhoto which i could dump my photos in, then when i did open iPhoto it would import everything in that folder. is there a folder that will import everything in that folder whenever Photos for Mac is opened?

What does iPhoto do with photos as they are imported?
What you tried was a very complicated and unsupported way to import from one iPhoto library to another.
The safest way would have been either
to use iPhoto Library Manager to export a new library from the old one
or to export the original files using iPhoto and to import the exported files.
But pasting the Masters folder into a temporary "Importing" folder put your photos at risk. The Importing folder is a temporary cache that will be emptied, when an Import has finished.
It started to get very slow and sluggish, so I decided I would move the photos to a new library on the same drive.
It would have probably sufficed to repair or to rebuild the library and safe all your edits and albums, instead of migrating the photos to a new library.
Since you do not have a backup, and your Masters folder got erased, I recommend to stop using the drive with your library immediately and to try data recovery software, for example Disk Drill. It has a free trial mode.

  • Photos for mac does not see my Canon XT1

    Canon XT1, how does one import photo's from this camera into Photos for Mac? No problem with Aperture.....

    I have an SD card from an Olympus OMD, in Aperture it always recognized the card at the Import tab, Photos shows this in finder but the folder is grayed out and I cannot import the pictures. I hope this will be addressed soon, it's very inconvenient.

    I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised.  IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement.  Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

  • What does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.

    what does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products." I want to buy a photo book and that message keeps popping up.

    TD, LN - You guys make great points and I will take you at your word. Normally, I would not hesitate to update. I have a lot at stake here with a large vacation coming up with a great many new pictures anticipated. I don't know enough to understand what is meant by "verifying my library." Please give me some insight there and I will start the upgrade process tonight! Seriously, I have wanted to do this for some time, but have been scared away by reading too many situations on these forums.
    TD - you have a good sense of humor. I know all versions eventually need to be left to die away. Support is not eternal. I am sure I missed the announcement that certain versions of iPhoto would no longer offer the ability to conveniently make cards, calendars, books, etc. Like the original poster, I was surprised to learn my version did not offer that functionality only by requesting it and getting denied. Sort of frosted me at the time, as you can tell by my original reply here.
    If anyone can help me with the "verifying" question, I'll get off of here and let the original poster have his thread back! 

  • TS4006 I lost my iPad. I located it using the Find My iPad feature. I got an e-mail from Apply stating it had been found. What does this mean? Does this mean someone used it, tried to use it or what?

    I lost my iPad. I located it using the Find My iPad feature. I got an e-mail from Apply stating it had been found. What does this mean? Does this mean someone used it, tried to use it or what?

    When you say an email from Apply, do you mean that the sender is named "Apply"?  If so, what is their full email address (e.g. [email protected])?

  • From Photos for Mac, how does one delete imported iphone photo?

    IPhoto had this feature where when after it has imported all of my iPhone photos, it would ask me if I want to delete the imported photos from my iPhone.  Also, it has a button to delete all photos from my iPhone if I choose to.  Does anyone know if this very nice feature is still available in the new Photos for Mac?
    I really like this feature to clear all of my photos with one click, instead of having go thru one by one.

  • Saving photos to the web by creating events. Called the destination folder does not exist.

    Hello,
    I ask you for advice (assistance). A week ago I re-installed the PC and installed to the computer again Photoshop CS5. Everything works for me except for the function of storing images for web by creating events. Called me constantly destination folder does not exist. The problem I had before. I ask you this advice on how to solve this problem.
    Thanks for the advice

    hi,
    i don't know if i integrate your code correctly, but it doens't work for me. I presently create skin for client and this plugin is really usefull for me.
    i use win7 64bit home edition, and photoshop cs5
    there is how i integrate this :
    // EDIT ALEX GRENIER
    function getPreferencesFolder() {
         var userData = Folder.userData;
         if (!userData || !userData.exists) {
              userData = Folder("~");
         var folder = new Folder(userData + "/xtools");
         if (!folder.exists) {
              folder.create();
         return folder;
    function exportChildren(dupObj, orgObj, dupDocRef, folder) {
    if (getCSVersion() >= 10) // CS3 Only
         // Create assets folder in Flex app's directory
         // var tempFolder;
         // tempFolder = new Folder (folder + "/assets/");
         // tempFolder.create();
         // EDIT ALEX GRENIER
         var tempFolder;
         tempFolder = getPreferencesFolder();
    i put the code creating the folder in comment and put your code in place, i also put your function before the function creating file.
    With the base code (without modification) photoshop is able to create my folder assets, but when it try to export the png, it export nothing, so i have a empty folder.
    thank you,
    Alex

    Did you try to build the application (Project->Build in Visual Studio) ? If the error doesn't go away then and you have no other compilation errors (if you do you need to fix these first), you should replace "FolderExplorer" with the namespace
    in which the Folder class resides. If you haven't explicitly declared a namespace, you will find the name of the default namespace under Project->Properties->Root namespace. Copy the value from this text box to your XAML:
    xmlns:my="clr-namespace:FolderExplorer"
    The default namespace is usually the same as the name of the application by default so if your application is called "FolderExplorer" you should be able to build it.
    If you cannot make it work then please upload a reproducable sample of your issue to OneDrive and post the link to it here for further help.
    Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then start a new thread if you have a new question.

  • Part of Photoshop isn't functioning.  Under adjustments, when HDR toning is clicked on I get a code:  Error 48: File or folder does not exist.  Line:11  - $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath   "StackSupport.jsx");  How can it be fixed?

    The phone company was here working on something while I was gone.  They sat down at my computer (iMac) and since then HDR toning doesn't work.  Get the code:   Error 48: File or folder does not exist.    Line: 11     ->  $.evalFile(g_StacScriptFolderPatch + "StackSupport.jsx");   How can this be fixed?   

    Go to //Applications/Adobe Photoshop [Version]/Presets/ Scripts/Stack Scripts Only/ and see if StackSupport.jsx is there. If it is not, uninstall and reinstall Photoshop to have it added back in. If it is there, first try recreating the Photoshop Preferences (hold down Command+Option+Shift while launching Photoshop).

  • File or Folder does not exist

    I'm having a wierd problem with a png image which generates an error in my script.
    I'm building a UI using the group constructor, here is the line code I'm using to load the image:
    myImg:Image{text:'',image:'(image_folder)/image.png', alignment:['left','top']}
    The script runs with one image but not another one which is also a png of the same dimensions, bit depth etc. For some reason I get the 'file or folder does not exist' error message. If I replace the image with a known good one the script works.
    I've re-generated the image a dozen times. Still no joy.
    I'm not a total noob, though I infrequently write scripts and am completely prepared to learn I've made totally maverick error.
    Any thoughts?

    myImg:Image{text:'',image:'(image_folder)/image.png', alignment:['left','top']}
    I'm assuming that "(image_folder)" is a placeholder or variable and you are concatinating for the file path to the image? When checking file paths for images or what not, I usually try...
    alert(File.decode(File.openDialog()));
    ...to verify that my path is correct. Sometimes there's a extra slash or something I am missing.

    Hi, I just tried to open Word and this message appeared - 'You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.' I just recently loaded OS X Lion does this mean my software for MS Office is now out of date?  Do I have to purchase a new package? Any help appreciated.

    Hello:
    Office 2004 was written for the PowerPC chip only.  There is no emulation in OS X 10.7.
    I encountered the same issue sometime ago when I updated to OS X 10.7.
    There is one option that I might mention (other than buy Office 2011).  I switched to Apple's iWork.  Pages (the word processing package) is completely compatible with Word.  If you export Pages documents, you can export them in formats compatible with Microsoft programs.  iWork also contains programs that are compatible with Office presentation and spreadsheet packages.
    The reason I mention this is that the cost is about 1/2 of the cost of Office.
