Loading Pics from PC Trouble

HELP! I am trying to sync my phone and in the past I have had the option of which photos I want to upload from my computer. Now when I plug in the phone and try to do this, it only gives me one option...that will delete ALL photos I have taken on my phone. The folders that I want to choose from are no longer there. I am frustrated....hopefully someone can help!!!!

Photos captured by your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll, and the same for a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS. Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are not included and not touched with the iTunes sync process except for being included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, it isn't a good idea to depend on this alone for these photos. Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Photos transferred from your computer are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. There is not an option to select individual photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, there is an option to select a folder of photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you select a different folder of photos than the folder of photos currently selected to be transferred to your iPhone that has already been transferred to your iPhone, selecting a different folder of photos will delete the existing folder of photos from your iPhone first.
If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, you can create a parent folder which will contain named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Selecting the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences will transfer the named folders of photos within to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.

  • How can I load pics from camera without spaces in the filename (PSE5)

    Hello,
    I want to load the pics from my Fuji Camera with my newly acquired Photoshop Elements 5 into its database as simple as possible. I get offered several ways of renaming the pics during the import. Unfortunately the date formats offered (for folder or filenames) do *all* include space characters " ", which I do not like, because this caused me earlier a lot of trouble when putting the pics online, for example (%20 in the path name). Another reason is my existing photo collection since 2001, which has no spaces in the filenames as well.
    Example for the filename:
    PSE offers: "jj mm dd 001.jpg"
    I want : "jjmmdd_001.jpg" or at least "jj_mm_dd_001.jpg" or anything similar.
    For folder names the same thing appears.
    Is there a way to do that without typing each date without spaces by hand?
    How?
    I would like to have the photo load process as simple as possible, without having to remove the spaces with a separate rename tool.
    Any ideas?
    I searched for quite a while and I am surprised that nobody else seems to have this problem. Am I just too picky?
    Thank for any help.
    Greetings from Germany,
    Ulrich

    Ken,<br />again thanks for your writing.<br /><br />IMHO, if PSE had space free filenames, this would lead to a very simple and fast workflow with PSE alone (!) like this:<br /><br />1. Just connect my camera (Fuji F31fd) with the USB cable (no fiddling with the memory card in and out each time)<br />2. Transferring all (or selected) pics into PSE, one folder per day, named yymmdd_optional_theme_description.<br />3. Delete all non-optimal pics after viewing in PSE. Then tagging, pic-improving where needed ....<br />4. As backup, burn/move to CD from time to time and copy/move to an external HDD for double security.<br /><br />Its just the spaces in the filenames which prevents me from using this. I want to have the workflow well defined and fixed before I start using PSE5. <br />But it seems there is no workaround (so far).<br /><br />Maybe I should just take the "trouble" and rename every folder manually within PSE. No problem with one or 2 days, and still not a very big problem after a 3 week holiday. But still all single photo files will have the spaces in them. If I want to avoid that, I really have to bring them to the PC without PSE, rename them as batch with Irfan or any other tool, and then import them to PSE, as you wrote. From my point of view, a lot of unnecessary hassle, especially if I have the simple workflow from above in mind.<br /><br />Many people seem not to be disturbed by the spaces in the filenames. I wonder if I overrate the disadvantage of it. Your opinion(s)?<br /><br />I am not sure what you mean with<br /><Perhaps Ulrich would be well served if he created a collection of newly acquired pictures with a common theme.><br /><br />In fact I want to come away from theme centered archiving the photos, which is what I did so far. I learned this from the article <br />http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1018&message=26366116 <br />and the following one from Arrowman. I won't follow all what he wrote *in detail*, but most ideas seem to be good. The PSE tagging should do the theme-related searches.<br /><br />Greetings,<br />Ulrich

  • Need help loading pics from multiple catalogs on Photoshop Elements 3

    In the past, I've synched my photos from Photoshop Elements 3 to my video Ipod without a problem, but I only had one catalog in Elements. I created a new catalog and wanted to upload some of the pictures in the NEW catalog to my ipod. The trouble is, when I go into the photo preferences in my Ipod, it only shows the albums in the catalog I'm in. I want to load some pics from both catalogs. If I switch to the second catalog it erases everything it loaded previously from the first catalog. Does anyone know a way to upload from multiple catalogs on my Ipod? Is it possible to do?
    Thanks!

  • I have a Mac book pro with 2 users myself and my husband I loaded pics from our camera onto my user page does anyone know how to view these pics from my husbands login page can I transfer some of my library to his login page

    I have a Mac book pro with iPhoto updated to iPhoto 11 we have 2 users on our Mac myself and my husband.  I recently loaded all of our pictures from a recent trip into iPhoto under my login screen.  Can these photos also be transferred into my husbands iPhoto library under his login screen ?  I want to transfer some not all of them and already deleted them from the camera card.

    Use iPhoto Sharing.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • Can no longer automatically load pics from camera to iPhoto

    I am running iPhoto 5.0.4 and I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20. Until recently I merely had to plug my camera into the computer using the USB connection to load pics. Now when I do it, iPhoto does not launch and better still, the keyboard and mouse ceases to function. Nothing shows on the system profiler as being connected. Camera (on PTP) or computer?

    Hi there,
    I think what you're describing is due to the camera not your computer or it could be a bad slot on your computer, you can check this quickly by plugging in your mouse directly into one of the free USB ports and see if the same issues occur, if so, then it's your computer's hardware. Otherwise you could have a bad USB cable on the camera...

  • Trouble loading pics from text messages

    Why won't my pics, that are sent to me via text messages, loading on my iPhone 5? 

    We just needed to know what was and was not happening. Now you have said that. What user troubleshooting have you tried? They are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. I would try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The iPhone will restart. Have you been able to receive pictures in the past? If you go into Settings, Messages, is MMS turned on? Can you receive a picture and see it from anyone else?

  • Loading pics from camera to I pad

    I try to download pictures from my camera to I pad .  It tells me device will not work  it uses too much power what do I do?

    Does your camera have an SD card? If so, use it in the Camera Connection Kit. If no SD card -
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • Loading pics from disk?

    I have a new computer. Just installed adobe. How do I put pictures from disk into Adobe?  Do I not put directly into Adobe?

    Double click on your PSE Desktop icon, on the welcome screen, click on the organize button.When Organizer launches, it will
    show you a dialog asking "The Elements Organizer can be used to view and organize your media. Would you like to set up Elements Organizer by specifying the location of the media you'd like to include?"
    Click on the Yes button, and you would be shown a dialog asking you where are the media files located on your machine that you want to add in Elements Organizer, browse to that location, Open all the media files and they will be added in your PSE Organizer and there you go...ready to get started...

  • Loading pics from facebook to the itouch...

    Can it be done?

    the facebook app doesn't allow direct exporting of photos, but you can take screen shots which would have the same effect. (press the home button and the power button at the same time - a screenshot will be taken and stored under 'saved photos' in the photo section)

  • Downloading pics from camera to iphoto

    i down loaded pics from my camera [canon 500]and every thing performed correctly-the #of photos appeared,the pics displayed as they downloaded,i clicked the import button,but when the pics were thru importing they failed to appear in iphoto...
    i must have clicked some button by mistake and now the pics are somewhere in my imac...
    how can i retrieve them [if they are in my imac]?  

    barneyetengoff:
    Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to recommend what I think is a safer way to upload photos from a camera to the HD and then into iPhoto.
    I use a card reader and upload to a folder on the desktop. I name the folder with the date of the shoot and a brief description like: 12/25/06-Xmas Day Dinner. I then rename the files with R-Name so that they are uniquely identified. This prevents getting the same file name on multiple photos if the camera resets itself back to 1 each time after reformatting the card.
    I then import that folder into iPhoto which gives me a roll with the same name as the folder. Once I'm sure the photos have been safely imported I delete the folder from the desktop. I then use the camera to reformat the card for the next shoot.
    More work, yes, but it insures safe transfer to iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Having trouble loading pics to facebook from Curve 8330

    Is anyone else having trouble loading pictures to facebook from their Curve 8330? I have had my phone for approximately a year and a half and have had no issues loading pics to facebook up until I received the most recent notification that there was a newer version of facebook for blackberry. Ever since I loaded the newest version I have had nothing but problems trying to load pictures to facebook. I have attempted to load approximately 100 pictures and 3 or 4 have successfully loaded. The rest I get an error message indicating there was an error uploading the photo. I am getting very frustrated  as there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it loads the photo's it does!? Just this morning I went out to my photo's on my blackberry and hit the "SEND TO FACEBOOK" option and that picture loaded, so immediately after that I tried to load two more and they failed? I have no trouble posting to facebook or replying to other posts or even commenting on photo's from my blackberry but for the life of me can't get photo's to load consistently! I have been loading pics with no issues since I've had the phone so I don't understand why now I am having nothing but issues!  HELP.........PLEASE...........AND THANKS! Carrier is verizon, not sure if it matters?

    You are not alone.

  • I attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded, now computer freezes after trying to load everything.  possible to reverse this?  options?  restore hd from time machine?  pls help!!!

    long story short...i attempted to import pics from iphoto to a folder on my desktop but somehow clicked desktop so 45,000 pics loaded to my desktop and now my computer freezes up after trying to load everything, and i'm not able to just drag the photos into the folder.  is it possible to reverse this?  what are my options?  restore hd from time machine?  
    a further question to restoring my hd from a previous backup on time machine...it says it will erase the hd.  does it actually erase everything or does it just erase anything that may have been added or downloaded since that backup?  this is confusing to me.
    another problem which is part of the original problem is it seems that when i connect my iphone to my computer and iphoto uploads my pics...it doesn't just upload new ones, it duplicates and uploads every picture again...which is why i have 45,000 pics...they are 40,000 duplicates!  what's up with that? 
    I have a macbook pro, and recently updated the os to Yosemite.  the iphoto app is out of date, but i'll worry about that once i can figure out how to get all those pics off the desktop.  also, i recently purchased and installed 8g of new ram, but that hasn't seemed to help. 
    any advice would be appreciated! 
    thanks!!

    thanks for replying. 
    the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do.  it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes.  it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
    do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop?  and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from?  sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy. 
    i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'? 
    as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder.  was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything.  once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto.  this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over.  it will basically be a lot of deleting.
    one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck.  :-) 
    thanks again, for your help.

  • Imported pics from old iphoto now am having trouble finding them on my HD..

    hi there,
    so here is my situation. I previously was using iphoto (from '05) and had several thousand photos, but last month one day when i opened iPhoto 95% of the photos were gone from iPhoto (my computer kept shutting off, power supply problem), but I could still find all of my photos on my HD under my username/pictures.
    in any case, i just got a new mac with iphoto '09 and my local tech friend managed to get all of my old photos onto my new computer by creating a new folder (yadda yadda yadda) and all of these photos now show up in the new iphoto, but i am having a few problems, so here goes...
    1. I like to view most of my photos in the 'photos' area of iphoto (as opposed to events, faces and so on) but it seems like with the older photos many show up in both an 'originals' folder and in a dated folder. i'm guessing this has something to do with photos that were edited or something of the sort. ideally, i'd just like to see one of everything. is this possible? also, of the 10K+ things moved onto the new iphoto were a number of movies uploaded from my camera. all of these show up in 'originals' wereas in the dated folders the show up as jpeg stills. why is this?
    2. my biggest/most annoying problem has to do with newly uploaded pictures. actually uploading them is fine (they all go into 'untitled events' folders as opposed to the 'originals' or dated folders like all the others) it's just that i'm having trouble accessing them on my HD once they're on iphoto. in short, i email a lot of photos using hotmail. when uploading i'll typically go to macintosh hd / jeremiahpOLD(everything from old computer) / pictures / iphoto libary 2 (created to put all old photos) and they're all right there by date. but all my new photos that i'm uploading, which i thought would show up in the same place separated by date, aren't showing up. if i search for them on my HD the location shows up as 'jeremiahpOLD / modified / 2010 / date. so, i guess my big question is, how do i get newly uploaded photos to show up in the 'pictures' folder as opposed to the 'modified' folder (where i can't access them unless searching for a particular on my HD or thru iphoto)?
    sorry, for the rambling. i'm just trying to figure this all out at once...it's very different from my old iphoto!
    thanks in advance,
    Jeremiah

    iPhoto changed the way we access photos with iPhoto 7 (08) when the library folder became a package. Using the methods Larry linked you to will provide you with access to your photos for use outside of iPhoto. Another version of Terence Devlin's treatise with screenshots is shown below. The following is from one of Terence Devlin’s posts on file access for use outside of iPhoto. It’s the definitive treatise on the subject.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Accessing the iPhoto Library Folder directly has never been supported in any version of iPhoto.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For Users of 10.5 and later
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    For users of 10.4 and later ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    All of the above are a: faster and b: Safer than rooting around in the old Library Folder.
    OT
