IPhoto imports from CD ROM

I know that one can import an entire library from a CD ROM backup disk, but that involves hundreds of pictures. Is there a way to import only selected pictures from a CD ROM backup disk?

Hi jtietz,
Was this disc burned within iPhoto and mount within
iPhoto in the source column?
If it does, then just select the photos from the
disc and drag them to the library listed at the top
of the source column.
Thanks; that does the trick.

IPhoto import from iPhone. How to keep changes?

Hi,
I'm using my iPhone 4s for taking photos. I'm often editing this photos in my iPhone (mostly optimize it or cut it).
After connecting with my laptop, the automatically export from iPhone to laptop's iPhoto occurs, but all the imported photos are in the original condition.
If I import photos from iPhone to Facebook, it appears including the changes. If I import them to my laptop, the changes are gone..
How can I save/import my photos to my laptop including the changes? Thank you!
I'm using MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), 256GB SSD (115GB free), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris 1536 MB
OS X Yosemite, ver. 10.10.2, iPhoto ver. 9.6.1 (910.42). I'm using iPhone 4s.

It is not yet possible. Connecting the iPhone by USB and importing will download the original photos and not the edits.
Apple recommends to mail the photos to your mac to transfer the edited versions., see this support document: iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices - Apple Support

Problem with iPhoto import from camera (gets stuck)

Hi, I am having an issue with an import from digital camera to iPhoto. I've had this camera and this MacBook for years without any trouble. The import I am trying to do has about 1600-some photos and a handful of short videos in it, but most are duplicates, so when the import starts, I tell it not to import the duplicates. iPhoto does its thing, but it gets stuck after about 205 new photos. The screen just stays on one image and looks as though it is still importing. I left it for hours and it never advanced. So I clicked the button to stop the import, which didn't seem to work, because the message "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for the export to complete" came up when I tried to quit iPhoto. So I had to Force Quit. When I reopened, fortunately my Library was intact and the photos that did go through went to a special "recovered" folder. I went through the process again in hopes that it was a glitch, but the same thing happens. I decided to delete the video on the camera that iPhoto seems to keep getting stuck on. This did not help. The same results (as described above) keep happening. I can't figure out what to do. I know I need new hardware sometime soon, but there should be a fix for this... Thank you.

Try using a card reader. That way you can open the memory card as it were an external volume, select and drag the files in small groups to a folder on the Desktop. That way you can isolate those files that are causing the problem.
If there are only a few files that won't cooperate you may have to sacrifice them so you can reformat the memory card using the camera and then test it with some test photos and videos.
Is it just videos that won't copy? See if you can determine which files are causing the problem.

IPhoto imported from iPhone has dark streaks

When I attach my iPhone and iPhoto launches and imports the photos, they all have dark streaks, as shown in the examples below. The photo is not damaged when I e-mail it from the iPhone. Any ideas?
EMAILED PHOTO /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/573/5733046-1.jpg
IMPORTED PHOTO /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/573/5733046-2.jpg
Thanks!

Wow, no idea what's going on there. Here's another way to import the camera photos to your Mac:
1) Download the iPhoneDrive demo.
2) Choose "Advanced Mode" from the iPhoneDrive preferences.
3) You will see your photos in the "DCIM" folder. You should be able to drag them right out.
It would be interesting to know if this also results in streaks.

IPhoto import from iPod Touch disappeared, any way to recover?

I imported photos from our 5 gen iPod Touch into iPhoto, and, as it was getting pretty full, selected the delete photos after import option. iPhoto crashed during the delete. We reopened it and there are no photos imported, but iPhoto did manage to delete about half of our iPod's photos before crashing. I would hope that iPhoto wouldn't be deleting photos off my iPod until it had actually imported the files...but they are no where to be found. Any ideas?
My OS is Mavericks, and we have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. I've tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but it makes no difference.

Like I said I have my ipod set to sync manually and even with that setting it is still showing some "itunes purchased" albums on my ipod album list. They are not synced though because when you go to play them it shows them as not downloaded.

Photos replacing iPhoto - importing from the new Mac app

Hi All,
I just installed Elements 13 and opened for the first time. Couldn't import my library of photos as iPhoto was replaced by Photos (new app) in the latest OS update on my desktop.
I get a message 'iPhoto is empty'. All my photos are now in the new app library. Is there likely to be an update soon from Adobe or do I have no choice other than to manually and tediously export thousands of images and reimport them into Elements?
Cheers, Slink

Hi all,
Thanks for the answers.
Thanks for the link Barbara B... looks like it's Apple doing their 'post Steve Jobs' thing again. Apple used to innovate to create 'great customer experiences'... now all they seem to do is have some idiots in the finance department decide what customer experience can make them the most money and tell me that's the experience I want to have. I used to enjoy new Apple devices, systems and apps because every one seemed to somehow make things easier or better... now I dread them because of the inevitably trouble-shooting and work-arounds I have to go through to prevent them making life harder.
As to the iPhoto question. I can still choose to open my photos in iPhoto if I want but when the app is opened a message pops up saying "all photos have been migrated..." but none of my new photos will appear, nor any edits I've made.
I've started playing with the Elements app and it seems really good. I love the guided edit mode.

Trying to understand/make iphoto import from 3gp phone

OK. I plug in my digital camera, and iphoto syncs jpegs and avis no problem, but when I plug in my cell phone (SE K790A), and it syncs the jpegs, but leaves the 3gp files just sitting there. I know iphoto can import 3gp videos if I do a second step and cache them on my desktop first, but this becomes not just cumbersome, but also messy since I have to actually try and recall which video MOV0792 was, or let iphoto create duplicates all over the place when I can't recall which ones have already been imported and dump them all.
It seems to me, this is a pretty obvious and simple thing for the software to be doing, but I don't know how to get it to work. Can anyone offer some insight?

There's no plist?
No "I had that problem too, but Apple told me to P.F.O."?
Nothing?

Iphone 09 crashes every time when importing from an external hard drive

Just bought a mac mini and I wanted to import my jpgs from my windows external disk (disconnected it from the pc temporarily.) However, I do not have enough hard drive on the mini to hold all of the pictures, so I moved the iphoto library (using the instructions obtained on this forum) to a second external drive (formatted as mac.) I'm trying to have iphoto import from the windows external hard drive and place the photos into the library located on the mac external hard drive. This shouldn't be a problem.
However, iphoto will go fine for about 1000 photos then crash. It has done this the last 9 attempts. I also noticed that the photos that have been imported fine (I stopped the import to see how the software would work -- before it crashed out on me) and iphoto displays the photo, but when I click it, iphoto says the file cannot be found.
Wow, this program has some serious flaws. I'm giving up on it, and hoping the Picassa port will work better.

Did you want help or just to share the experience?

When I am importing photos from DVD rom, iPhoto shows " not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library", but i have over 200G free in hard drive? how do i fix it?

Mac Pro Book
Mac OS X 10.7.5
iPhoto 11 9.4.2
importing photos into iphoto, shows "Photo cannot import your photos because there is not enough free space on the volume containing your iPhoto library."
tried creat new library, same thing.
currently only has 2,500 photos in iPhoto
Importing about 500 photos, but cant do it due to the message showed above.
Who knows how to fix it?

How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this

I want to remove all of my photos out of iPhoto there are approximately 35000 some imported from an old hard drive and a SD Card from my Nikon D500 how do I do this?
I have iPhoto version 9.1.5 (615)
Mac OS X version 10.6.8
I want to do this because when I imported from my old hard drive there was an error message stating that 12 photos were not imported as the programm did not recognise the format even though they were jpegs like the other photos in that particular album. The dates of the photo folders are wrong I have multiple copies of photos and every time I start iPhoto I get the following message 12 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that were not imported would you like to import them No or Yes
if you press Yes the same message comes back again and if you press Yes again the program flicks to last import for 2 seconds and then opens events.
if you press No the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user/judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos then if you press OK the original message 12 photos have been found.............
if you press No at this point the message The photos have been placed in the folder/user /judith/pictures/iphoto Library recovered photos_11 the end number goes up by 1 every time you go through this process
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
For the annoying start-up message:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

How do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup?

how do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup? I did a back up and i formatted my machine. How do i get iphoto to be the same?

This screenshot shows how to restore a library from Time Machine.
There is NO importing necessary. One should never import one library into another. Just restore it to your Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.

Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.

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.
