Move iPhoto images back to iPhone

I moved the images first from iPhone to iPhoto. Now that they are edited I want to move them back from iPhoto to iPhone. Is this possible?

To confirm - these are photos that were captured by your iPhone and imported to your Mac by iPhoto?
If so, the answer is yes.
Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences are your options for transferring photos from your Mac to your iPhone.
Select "Sync photos from:" and select iPhoto is not already selected.
Below this are various options, which must be followed by a sync.
If you create an iPhoto album for these particular photos, along with selecting other iPhoto albums, any changes made to selected iPhoto albums will be reflected on your iPhone when syncing - including adding new photos to these albums, changes made to these photos such as edits, and removing photos from an album or albums.

  • Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

    Sorry,
    I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
    Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks,
    I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??

  • Re-sizing iPhoto images back to iPhoto original size?

    One of the first things I did with my iPhoto file, was to delete all those sappy flags and other images not relevant to anything I ever intend to use. Unfortunately, I inadvertently (?) also deleted most all of my jpgs, except I can recall all of them, but only as teensy Preview images, which I have filed as Assorted jpgs, which I have to enlarge just to view.(?) Can I drag 'n drop that file into iPhoto and see them as images larger than a match head? OR, is it possible to insert one of the accompanying Application Discs and make my iPhoto Application like it...used to was?

    No - you have destroyed your library and deleted your photos - your only chance for recovery is a backup or if the originals folder in the iPhoto library has photos in it or if a hard drive undelete program like file salvage - http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
    Never, Never, Never make any changes of any type to the content or structure of the iPhoto library - doing so will corrupt your library and loose data
    This is not an applications issue - it is a destroying the database issue by modifying it

  • Mouse moves screen image back and forth (baby changed some setting)

    My son was banging on the keyboard and must have hit a combination of keys that changed something. Now the desktop image moves around in the display as I move the mouse (makes me a bit dizzy). Any idea what this setting is and how I can restore it to the old setting?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    As well as the ctrl key and mouse scroll as jlindh suggests, you can toggle OS X's zoom in  menu > System Preferences... > Universal Access > Seeing and turn Zoom off.

  • How do I move iPhoto pics to external HD to free up hard drive space, then how to back up external HD

    I currently have 2 iPhoto Libraries on my 2010 MacBook Pro.  Photo count is in tens of thousands, and hard drive needs them to go away so it can work faster.  Nervous about moving photos to external HD.  I currently back up entire computer to 1 external HD via Time Machine.  Just purchased another bigger external HD for purpose of moving iPhoto libraries to it. 
    However, Genius Bar told me to drag and drop folders to folders I create on new HD and NOT move iPhoto Library file itself because those were only "copies" of the images.  If I want to keep the real images, I should move folder by folder and group by year. 
    I'm just totally confused.  I still want to be able to use iPhoto to organize and edit my photos.  I THINK I can do that by moving the entire iPhoto library folder from my Pictures folder to the external and then launching iPhoto by holding down Option key.  But, how do I back up the back up?

    However, Genius Bar told me to drag and drop folders to folders I create on new HD and NOT move iPhoto Library file itself because those were only "copies" of the images.  If I want to keep the real images, I should move folder by folder and group by year.
    Genius bar is not very genius in this case.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Backing Up.
    Remember a back up is a copy on another disk (at least). So, you'll need one disk to hold your Library and another to back that up to. You can use Time Machine if you want to. Chronosync or SuperDuper are also excellent alternatives.

  • Cannot move some images in iPhoto to desktop

    I cannot move an image from iPhoto to my desktop.  Also, when I click on the image in iPhoto to enlarge it, I get an exclamation point.  When the image is small size in iphoto, I can see it.  But if I click on it to enlarge it in iphoto, I get the exclamation point.  Don't know why this is happening?  I have Iphoto 09, version 8.1.2 (424)  My goal:  Be able to move any image in iphoto to my desktop and not get the exclamation point anymore.
    Message was edited by: rjduffy61

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original image - and that's why you can move it to the desktop.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Importing movies to purple iMovie from iPhone, iPad, and iPhoto

    I have created movies on my iphone and on a Lumix camera. I am trying to figure out the best way to have all my movies in iMovie rather than iPhoto.
    I have already likely made the mistake of transfering my Lumix data to an iPad with iOS while I was in Asia. In retrospect, I suppose the best way to get those pictures from my iPad to iMovie would have been to not export the movie from my iPad to my Camera Roll and into iPhoto but rather from my iPad to iMovie.
    I also suspect that my iPhone pictures seen on Photo Stream on my iPad would have been best exported to iMovie and from my my iOS iMovie App to send to my Mac iMovie application.
    Are these two ideas correct?
    However, some of my movies are already imported into my desktop iPhoto. So, I tried dragging and dropping to my Mac's desktop. I then imported my movies (that came from my iPhone) into my Purple version of iMovie. That was fine except when I trashed my desktop movie to the Trash, it became greyed out in iMovie. So, next question is what I am doing wrong at this point?
    Next, my movies from my Lumix imported into my iPad were also then transferred to my Mac OS iPhoto. I dragged those pictures to my desktop but the format is not xx.mp4 but rather is xx.MOV. Is there a better way of dealing with my iPhoto xx.MOV's to get them into Purple iMovie?
    Finally, should I just leave all my movies in iPhoto and when in iMovie desktop just view them from the Aperture or iPhoto sidebar?  Can they or should they be imported from the sidebar into iMovie?  If so, can they safely be deleted from iPhoto or will my iMovie clips return to being greyed-out?
    I would ideally like all my movies in iMovie and not have duplicate movies in iMovie and iPhoto.What is the best way moving forward to do this properly and to be optimizing my time and organization?
    Thank you

    Regarding iPhoto "also importing into my local iPhoto library" -- that is up to you and is controlled by a setting in the menu  iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > Automatic Import.
    I have used both Photo Stream and the USB import method and find it easier to not use Photo Stream and just periodically do the USB import and immediately delete from the Camera Roll.
    Another option you may want to look at, if you just want to delete a number of pictures already imported in the past is Image Capture. It allows you to select photos on the phone (previously imported or not) and delete them without importing if desired.

  • IPhoto Library Backed Up to EHD. How do I transfer images to Windows 7 PC?

    I recently backed up an iPhoto library from a Mac Desktop PC to an external hard drive following specific instructions attained from Apple, including formatting the EHD for Mac OS first. I am now trying to transfer/copy/move the image files from the external hard drive to a windows 7 PC. The windows PC fails to recognize the external hard drive when connected--it is not listed as a device with removable storage as it was before I did the formatting of the drive for  Mac OS and copied iPhoto library to it. However, when I go to eject the EHD using safely remove the hardware, the EHD is listed as a connected device.
    How can I access the image files on the EHD now on a Windows 7 PC?
    Any suggestions/explainations/critisms are much appreciated!!
    XOXOXO

    If the drive has been formatted on the Mac the format is probably Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which is not readable by a PC. However as Niel mentioned if the drive as Fat 32 or exFat than a PC could read it. You can find out what the format is by asking the Mac owner to highlight the drive in Finder then type Command I (I as Ivan) and it will say how it has been formatted. The data will look similar to:
    Assuming the drive isn't formatted so a PC can read it then  you have many options open. First would be to put the files on a Flash Drive or they could be emailed to you or if you can get on then same network you could turn on file sharing so you could simply copy and paste the files. Last the ower could get another EHD format so the PC could read it and copy the files to that drive.

  • HELP: How do I use iPhoto 08 to import images onto my iPhone 3G?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how best to import images into my iPhone 3G for viewing.
    Most of my image files are large high quality 2 -4 MB files.
    Is there an easy way to downsize the files for viewing on the iPhone 3G? Does iPhoto have a setting specific for import/export use with the iPhone?
    How do I set a specific photo as the phone's wallpaper and does it have to be specifically sized to use as wallpaper?
    I have read the iPhone 3G manual but it was less than helpful just saying "Use iPhoto to import photos onto your iPhone"...

    here is a thread with lots of discussion of this topic - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1618079&tstart=105
    In general you make album(s) of the photos you want on the iPhone and sync the album(s)

  • I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes.  I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them.  Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

    My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does.  I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

    I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
    Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
    Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.
