Mac to iPad Import Photos takes up memory of Mac

Every time I try to import photos from my Macbook through selecting the import folder in iTunes, it automatically takes up the memory of my Macbook. I am confuse on why importing photos from a folder through iTunes to an iPad takes up the memory of the macbook. This is a huge problem because my mac does not have a lot of memory left and memory comes as a luxury to me. I was wondering where I can delete the photo files that iTunes may have double copied(?) Can somebody help me? Thanks a lot! Cheers

You mean hard drive space (which is not memory).
Are you using Time Machine to backup your computer?

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

  • Importing photos to Elements on a Mac laptop

    If I try to import photos from my Canon camera to Elements, open or not, the Mac opens its app 'Photos'. The only way I can get the photos from the camera to Elements is by importing them to 'Photos', re-exporting them to the desktop, then importing them from the desktop to Elements.
    There must be a better way.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop or Ps Elemernts and of Bridge,

    the type of file you were working on,

    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,

  • Why "Finishing import" photos takes forever?

    I see other people complaning about similare problem long before, but I never had that problem.
    Within last week or so (I don't know if this iOS7 or iPhone5S or may be some update to iPhoto) the finishing import photos from iPhone into iPhoto takes hours. All photos get imported, then it asked if delete them from the iPhone and after I click Delete it takes very-very log time to finish. Eventually it does finish, but the first time I had to leave it overnight.

    I have the exact same problem: iTunes optimizes photos at an incredibly slow three (3!) pictures per minute (not second!).
    My system: fairly new Dell PC, brand-new video iPod, brand-new iTunes version (7.3.2.6, downloaded and installed today).
    I'm sorry to say this, but iTunes performance is a joke. It's not just syncing pictures: whenever I plug-in my iPod, the iTunes UI will freeze for about 20 secs. Note: not the OS freezes, just iTunes. The photo synchronization feature is simply unusable. What's the point of having 30GB of space, if I it takes weeks to fill them?
    And please: don't tell me to get a different OS. First of all, every single piece of software works like a breeze on my machine, except for iTunes, whose usability reminds me of the good old days when you could not use your PC while printing. Secondly, if I spend about 300 bucks on a device like an iPod and the manufacturer claims it will work with my OS, I EXPECT it to do so, nothing less.
    That said, I waited for the next iTunes update to fix these issues. Now that I have installed it, and NOTHING has changed, I'm quite upset. Stories about unacceptable performance have been around the blogosphere for months now.
    Dear Apple, I don't need snazzy new iPhone or TV features. I simply want the existing, advertised features to work as expected. Now.

    Aloha,
    So I got a new 5dmark 3 and I was shooting a wedding and didn't set the date and time before I started shooting. When I uploaded the images to Lightroom they uploaded all over the place and not in order. Is there a way to upload to lightroom and keep them in order?
    THanks so much,
    Eric

    You can change the sort order to filename. That's what I prefer to use, and it keeps my images in shooting order.
