Moving photos from Kodak Easyshare (the app) to iPhoto

First, altho I'm posting this under iPhoto 4+, I'll be upgrading to iPhoto 8+ within the week.
When I began digital photography, I had a Kodak camera. That came with the Kodak EasyShare (KES) app. I now have photos in both KES and iPhoto. With my use of iPad and iPod Touch, I'd like to get everything into iPhoto and trash the KES app.
I have not found anything in manuals or the iPhoto app that allows/facilitates app to app transfer of photos.
I'd appreciate help, ideas, workarounds, whatever.
BTW, the KES photos are no longer available in camera.

Still puzzled. Yesterday I consolidated all photos in one location within Pictures. For example, the track to one set of pics looks like this:
"Mac HD>user>(my name)>Pictures>iPhoto Library>(folder)2010>(folder)Christmas'10>73 JPEG pics"
Preview (the app) opens each pic from both double clicking on the pic and from navigating from Preview's open command. GraphicConverter opens the pics navigating from its open command.
iPhoto, on the other hand, doesn't even acknowledge the pics' existence.
Any thoughts?

Iphoto won't import photos from Kodak EasyShare Camera

I have alsways been able to import photos from my canon camera directly into iphoto. I just purchased a Kodak Easyshare Camera. When I hook it up to my computer, it won't import the photos. The camera does come with it's own EasyShare Software - but I really don't want to import it into my computer. I want the photos to import directly into iphoto library. My Canon Camera still imports into the library. Help.

sunnydays:
Does System Profiler recognize the camera when it's connected? What version of iPhoto and Quicktime are you at. If not the latest then I suggest you update to 6.0.0 and 7.2 respectively. I'd also update to 10.4.10 via the COMBO updater followed by a repair of disk permissions.
Do you have iPhoto erase the memory card after each upload? If so, I strongly recommend against it as I've seen too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete erasures. It's safer to have the camera reformat the card after the upload.
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.

Importing photos from Kodak EasyShare camera

I am attempting to import photos from my Kodak EasyShare CX7300 camera into iPhoto. I have uploaded photos from this camera onto the computer before, but for some reason, I am no longer able to do so. I have checked the cord connections of both the USB port and the camera, and both are fine. When I plug the camera into the computer and turn the camera on, the green light on the camera flashes and iPhoto opens, but the import process does not begin. I have been unable to find a way through which I can manually import the photos into iPhoto. I cannot install the EasyShare software that came with the camera because of restrictions placed on the computer by my school. Any suggestions, other than a new camera or a better computer? :-D Like I said, I've imported photos from the same camera to the same computer... why isn't it working now?????

Jamie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A workaround until the reason for the problem is found is to use Image Capture to manually upload from your camera. It came with the Mac and is located in your Applications folder.
Have there been any software updates run just before this started occurring? What version of iPhoto are you running?
As a first step run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.

Can't import photos from Kodak EasyShare M1093IS

Had this camera for over a year and I have never had a problem until today. I can't upload any photos into iPhoto. Message says it's not a supported format. The photos are .jpg and I can see them in the screen where you select photos for import.
Running iPhoto v 8.1.2.
Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you read any of the other topics regarding the Kodak Easyshare?
iPhoto no longer recognizes photos from my Kodak EasyShare V803
Just do a search in the form for "Kodak Easyshare" and you'll get lots of posts.

Moving photos from an external hard drive to iPhoto

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred all of my photos from a Passport external hard drive into iPhoto.
I thought it worked very well but when I pull up the photos in the new computer's iPhoto they are smaller and the resolution is worse than on my old Macbook. I have some of the same photos saved on Dropbox and when I downloaded them and opened them in iPhoto they were larger and the resolution better.
Any suggestions? Is the external hard drive at fault or did I make a mistake when transferring the files to my new Macbook - I just dragged and dropped them.
Thanks for the help!

No idea - how about some information
What version of iPhtoo? Of the OS? What exactly did you do and how did you do it?
Importing photos to iPhoto has no effect on the source photo so your post does not make sense
The most basic answer it to launch iPhoto and drag the photos form the External drive to the iPhoto window which imports them into iPhoto ahas no effect on the photos on the EHD

Moving photo from Adobe PSE 6 organiser to iphoto 09

Hi Folks,
For the last couple of years I have been using Adobe Photoshop elements to organize my Picture library. I have since then move away from Windows with the exception of my picture. I would now like to move every file I have in PSE to iphoto (around 5000), but i'm not sure what is the best way to proceed. Obviously I don't feel like re categorizing all of those picture so I would like the migration to keep the structure i currently have in PSE.
what is the best way to migrate my photo over to iphoto and is there a way to preserve the structure I have in PSE ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

What is your structure in PSE?
Assuming that you have nested folders then the best you can do in iPhoto is a flat event structure - you can then easily create a nested structure of folders which contain other folders and/or albums
Make sure that the iPhoto preference to "split items imported from the finder into events" is unchecked - then drag each folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock (or onto the iPhoto library window) and this will create events matching your folders - of it you want each folder in an event and an album drag the folder to the source pane on the left of the iPhoto window
It probably makes sense to create a library with a few photos to see how it works before doing all 5000

Syncing photos from more than the last 20 iPhoto events?

How can I sync more than the last 20 iPhoto events with my iPhone?
When I select folders instead of events I can get more photos (ex: last 12 months) to my iPhone but at the same time I no longer have access to the "events" view which I use to organize my photos.
Is there a solution to sync/copy more than 20 events to my iPhone?

For whatever the reason, syncing iPhoto Events is limited.
I make use of iPhoto albums in addition to Events - primarily for transferring photos to my iPhone.

I just bought a MacBook Pro, and need to d/l my photos from my memory card reader. iphoto keeps coming up as the app to use, but the column on the left says "No name, and shows 0 photos on the black screen. How do I view the photos on the reader?

Did it... When I clicked on "No name", a file folder came up and, I forgot to put MacBook Pro in the name bar... That was it! Maybe someone else can use this post Hopefully...

I downloaded 1100 photos from Kodak Easy Share to Iphoto. Now when I open the photo events in the photo library, a thumbnail screen of all the pictures appears. However, when I click on a thumbnail photo to enlarge it, a lock symbol appears. Help!

I downloaded 1100 photos from Kodak Easy Share to the Iphoto library. Now when I open

If Larry's suggestion re iPLM doesn't help there's always the last ditch effort solution:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

I try to open I photo and I get the message, your iPhoto library is damaged...please restore from backup. But i din't made backup copy. How can i delete previous library and work wrom the new one?

Try this (assuming you're using iPhoto 12): make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
reboot, 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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select options #1, #2 and #6.
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Using iPad 2 photos and have not found key to organizing or moving photos from one album to another existing album

With ipad2 I have been almost successful in moving photos from the stream or roll to separate albums. It takes the commands but does not allow last step. What am I missing?

If you are wanting to copy photos from your computer to the iPad then you need to select all the folders that you want to copy together in one go - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are removed by not including them in the next photo sync, so on each photo sync you need to select all the photos that you want to remain on the iPad. So you will only do one photo sync to copy them.
So when you connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side on the Photos tab you need to select the parent folder under each those 100 folders are directly under - each of those 100 folders will then get their own album on the iPad. The folder to album relationship only works to 1 level i.e. if those folders have sub-folders in them then their photos will go into the parent's album on the iPad

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?

I'm sorry. I got a little off-the-wall there.
I want to have the same iPhoto files on both machines. A few days ago I spent several hours swapping photos back and forth until I had one event with identical picture files on both. Yesterday I scanned some old photos into the Macbook. Today I wanted to copy them to the iMac. I could not remember what I had done a few days ago, so I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to either remember or find another way, to no avail. I have no idea what I did right before; I only recall that it was pretty easy.
I didn't write anything down. I used to do that, but what I do is so intermittent that by the time I want to copy pictures again either (a) the app has been updated and the old way doesn't work (b) I've lost the paper with the notes on it or (everything seems fine but it just doesn't work. So I gave that up.
Yes, I do want both iPhoto libraries to be the same. The Macbook is the one with the scanner and I download from my camera on the iMac, so I need to be able to move photos from one to the other, I think.

How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

I changed my email on my Apple ID and now I can't purchase anything from iTunes or the app store. How do I fix that?

I changed the email on my Apple ID and now my password won't work and I can't get anything from iTunes or the App store.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if it then works.
