Lion: import photo´s from Mail to iPhoto

hi all...
if i save new photo´s from mail directly to iPhoto, they lose their cam & geo data.
save to desktop and import manual will work fine
at snow leopard it works
thx for help

First, stop using the card in the camera. Some companies provide photo recovery software with their cards. If not here are some photo recovery programs, I've never used them though. You might also try a Google search for "SD card photo recovery" as some businesses provide this.

  • How can I Import photos directly from Mail into iPhoto?

    Prior to updating to Lion, when viewing photo attachments within Apple Mail, I could do a quick preview of attached photo(s) within the email and click an iPhoto icon that would import the photos into iPhoto. Something has changed now when selecting "Quick Look" I do not get an option to send the photo to iPhoto. Am I missing somthing or is this feature no longer available with Lion/Mail?

    Not sure if this helps or not. I recently installed Lion for my mother, and she couldn't figure out how to export photos in an email to iPhoto. Turns out she had to click on Details in the upper right corner of the email message. Then the Save and Quick Look buttons returned. If you click and hold on Save (possibly on the triangle on the right side of the button) there is an option to save to iPhoto.
    I haven't upgraded to Lion myself yet so I can't answer your specific question regarding saving to iPhoto from the Quick Look preview.

  • Photos saved from Mail to iPhoto won't display

    I recently converted my niece from a PC to an new 14 inch iBook. She has 10.4.2 and all the latest software updates. When she clicks on the "Save" button in Mail her photos do not appear in iPhoto. After proving to myself this was really happening, I found the missing photos. They are being saved at the root level in the iPhoto folder-not in the respective photo folders. I suspect that this is the problem but I don't know why or how to fix it. I tried saving photos from Mail on a couple of other Macs at my house and the feature seems to work fine.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi Joseph, the feature works fine for me too.
    the only info I could find was this.
    "Add to iPhoto" button in Mail and keyword search in spotlight don't work
    If she does have the latest iPhoto, then all I can suggest is to use Disk Utility to repair permissions. If that doesn't work, then just have her drag the images in the email to the desktop, then import them into iPhoto from there.

  • TS4435 Can not add photos directly from Mail to iPhoto

    Apple calls Article: TS4435 a solution? Drag the photos one at a time to iPhoto? Pathetic. This is BROKEN!
    Has anyone discovered a better way to save attached photos to iPhoto?

    There are several work arounds, all involve additional steps.
    If Apple had intended for us to save Mail photos some other way, they would have removed the "Add to iPhoto" option from the "Save" drop down list. 
    I just spoke with a Sr. Advisor and opend a case so hopefully this will be fixed, some year.

  • Importing "photo library" from iphone into iphoto

    I'm trying to import my photo library on my iphone into iphoto. It will only allow me to import the "camera roll". Any suggestions on how to do this?

    This is exactly what happened to me too. My TimeCapsule had backed up most of my albums but the last 2 or 3 were lost. I am also emailing them to myself ... or to my MobileMe library online. This is very slow and tedious. I may try that 3rd party program as well. I'm also gonna check the app store to see if there is something in there we could try ...

  • How to import photos from Mail to iPhoto and preserve the date created?

    I have several photos sent to me via email attachments in Mail which I want to "add to iphoto."  When I do this, the original date of the photo changes to "today's date." 
    When I drag the photo to the desk top, the file (photo) properties change and the date changes to "today's date."
    Is there a way to import photos and preserve the original date the photo was taken?  For example,  if my family finally got around to sending me photos from 4th of July, I know the date is 7/4/2012, not today's date, 10/9/2012. 
    I want to avoid the time/work of doing batch changes on countless photos I want to add to iphoto. 
    iphoto 11
    mail 5.3
    Lion 10.7.5

    Larry, I need more information...
    Using what you said, I ran some tests using photos taken with my digital camera in iPhoto.  My photos show the following information in the "information" sidebar:
    •type of camera
    •Flash on
    •Format size
    •File size (MB)
    •File type (jpeg)
    •Frame "number"
    •Month/day/year/hour/min/sec/AM-PM
    Then I tried to email a photo to myself:  I have tried:  "share," "attach," "drag/drop" a photo into email and sent it to myself as a test.  Once the photo arrives in my Mail inbox, I have tried various ways to add this "test" photo into iPhoto:
    "Add to iphoto"
    "drag into iphoto"
    "export into iphoto"
    Each time, iphoto created the photo with "today's date."  In the past, I would get an alert:  Photo already exists in iphoto, do you still want to import?  Duplicate or Cancel
    Can you elaborate on, "if the photo properties are present and correctly formatted then iPhoto uses them."
    When I drag a photo to the desktop and double-click to preview the photo, the top of the preview window says:
    P1009.jpg -- locked (gray lettering of the word "locked")
    Is there a setting I need to change to "unlock" the properties of my photos?*
    Thanks!!
    MG
    *My original post focuses on importing photos sent from other people.  I am hoping if I can solve the matter with my own photos, other photos will import with original dates created, too.

    Is your QuickTime up to date?
    Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

  • Plugin to transfert photo from Mail to iPhoto?

    Hi,
    My mother is using 10.3 Mail and iPhoto 5 (ithink, not sure of the version!).
    She received many times photos in Mail. She would like a simple way to move pintures from Mail attachement to iPhoto. 10.4 includes a feature like this.
    I'd like to know if there is any Mail plugin or any (really easy) hint that can help her move her photos from Mail to iPhoto.
    Thanks

    Steve --
    I'm not positive about panther, but what happens if your mother selects the "SAVE" button next to the Paper Clip "Attachments" notice at the bottom of the mail header? (Just above the actual message)
    In Tiger, you get the option to download the files, or "Add to iPhoto." Have her check this, OK?

  • No export from Mail to iPhoto since Mavericks

    Since I installed Mavericks I cannot export pictures from Mail to IPhoto in spite of right click with "export to iPhoto" line
    Can anyone help. Thanks

    Upgrade iPhoto to 9.5 and try again.  If it still fails as a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
