Moving photos in pictures into iphoto

I scanned some old undigital photos into my Mac. They appear in Pictures. I want them in iphoto so I can make them into a slide show. Does anyone know how to do that? Or if it is possible?
Thanks.

In iPhoto: File > Import to Library

    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?
    If it does then your current library has been damaged and should be repaired: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - 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.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides

    I am using Lightroom on my MAC where I import the finalized JPEG-pictures into iPhoto to create a slideshow (for instance in combination with films). When exporting the slideshow with a 1080p resolution to iTunes I experience difficulties (missing slides and black transitions). When using JPEG-pictures directly from the camera there are no problems, so the manipulation in Lightroom seem to cause corrupt files. Does anyone recognize tje problem and could it have anything to do with the introduction of the Yosemite software? Is Lightroom already Yosemite-proof?

    In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

    You could use the Image Capture application.

    There are 3 users on my iMac.  How does each backup their iPhone on iTunes and download pictures into iPhoto?

    If they are using three separate Mac accounts, then they have three iTunes libraries and three iPhoto libraries, so it just works.
    If they are trying to share one Mac Account, they probably want to switch to separate accounts.

  • Delete photo after imported into iPhoto?

    I'm trying not to have duplicate photos staying on the same harddrive after I import them into iPhoto.
    So, can I archive the original photo off my hard drive to an external after I import them into iPhoto?
    I know it's perhaps a silly easy question, but I thought that I would ask before I start moving pictures off to my external drive.
    Many thanks,

    Assuming that you are using the default (and very strongly recommended) managed library you have no need to keep the source image

  • Moving not copying pictures to iPhoto 9.5.3?

    Help! I ran out of room on my Macbook for all my pics. I bought an external hard drive and copied my Iphoto Library from my mac to my external hard drive. I found this action COPIED my file didn't move it. I then went back to my mac and deleted the iphoto Library. I then realized that for some reason in the copy it made a whole bunch of separate files for some of the photos, not all ( not sure why). I thought ok, I will just import these to my iphoto library. I went into Iphoto pointed to the external hard drive to find the Iphoto Library and THEN did an import of all these extra pictures. When I did that I noticed that they didn't go away on my external hard drive. It seems it just made copies. I tried again. This time Iphoto told me that these pics were duplicates. So I thought the pics were indeed imported and these were just copies, so I deleted a bunch of them. When I went back to the pictures it is now saying. " can't find orginal pictures" Well that's because I thought it imported the files. Seems it didn't and now I have lost those pics forever. I don't have the room to store pics in several places... How do I MOVE pics into iphoto and not just have it copy. BTW: I did try the command key and then drag them to the iphoto icon. NOPE, still copies.

    I'm not clear on what you did or what is going on and since you state that you have iPhoto '11 version 9.5.3 which I am not aware exists (the latest version is 9.5.1) and you state that you have OS X 10.5.7 which would not allow the installation of any iPhoto 9.5.x version
    I am guessing that maybe you imported your iPHoto library fromt he EHD back into iPhto but that is only a guess
    It sounds lik you need to restr=ore your backup of the iPhoto library from before you did any of this and start over and do it correctly
    the correct way to move your iPhtoo libreary to an external drive is
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Importing pictures into iPhoto and Mac

    Hello,
    I like to store my pictures on an external hard drive that I share with my Mac and other PCs and media sharing (PS3, Wii) consoles. I use the iPhoto to organize my pictures on the Mac by event/faces/places etc. But I do not want to use the iPhoto's library to store my pictures. The pictures need to go into my external hard drive.
    I do want to use my Mac as the computer to move the pictures from my camera onto my external hard drive. When moving the pictures to my external hard drive, I like to setup a separate folder for each event and name my pictures with the event name and a sequence number.
    I have accomplished some of this by setting the preference in iPhoto to not copy the pictures into library when importing.
    I am looking for some type of seamless solution to accomplish the following
    When I insert the SD card into my Mac, I want it to allow me to copy my pictures where I want them with the names I want to give it and then finally move them to iPhoto for me to organize them using events/faces/places.
    If any of you are familiar with the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, I am looking for something like that. This software automatically starts up when you connect any camera to it. It brings up all the pictures in the camera and then allows you to select or deselect the pictures you want to move. It then prompts you to enter the file prefix and folder where you want to copy the pictures. Also gives you option to delete the pictures after import. Once you click the button, it starts to copy the pictures and it even lets you publish the pictures to web if you choose to do so.

    Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) will do some of what you want. There are other apps that will do batch renaming and so on.
    Some comments on your proposed set up:
    Having the Library on one volume and the photos referenced from another can be very problematic. iPhoto uses a very simple tool for workign with Referenced Libraries: Aliases. Aliases are perfectly good when the Library and the photo are on the same volume - the alias will track when the original moves and so on. However,  if anything changes in the path to a file on another volume the alias will break, and you'll may find yourself repairing it manually for everyone of these photos, one by one.
    Another point to bear in mind, the edited versions of photos will not be available to the other devices.
    Iphoto may not be the app you want for this job.

  • How do I consolidate photos from Finder into iPhoto Library?

    I would like to tidy up my photos on my iMac to save space and ensure that all is secure.
    Iam using iPhoto 08 on my iMac v10.8.5. My preference is to consolidate all my photos into my iphoto library so that I can manage my collection through iPhoto. I seem to have the same photos showing in Finder -> pictures as I do when I open iphoto. In addition photo files are also stored under My Pictures folder too. I'm guessing they are managed by iphoto but I don't know why they are saving in Finder as well as the iphoto library. I generally upload photos from either an iPhone or iPad. 
    I have the iphoto preferences set to 'copy items to the iPhoto library' so I'm not sure why they also appear in replicated album structures in Finder and as single images in Finder. Do I just import them again and delete from Finder? Any suggestions? (same for my .MOV files too).
    I've taken a screen shot but don't know how to add to this post.

    Thanks Larry. I tested that for one photo by deleting (placing in trash) one image and then reopening iphoto to make sure the photo was still there and it was.
    However, I was going to select all the images to delete them noticed that the first 4 are not showing in iPhoto (I search by image number as well as sort by image title to double check). These are photos of my daughter at school so would not want to accidentally delete them.
    Is there a way to compare what is in iphoto and what is in Finder? Any suggestions on how to ensure I don't miss any? I'm guessing I just import them all and then run the duplicate cleaner file (not perfect but I just deleted 1.5 GB of photos that were duplicated i iphoto). My operating system is old (2008) and needs all the grunt it can get.
    Not sure if this may be related but iPhoto seems to randomly duplicate my photos and movies within iPhoto and I have no idea why this is happening. The photo and its title is repeated twice but the .jpg is dropped off the file title. Does the same for movies and drops the .MOV from the title when duplicating.
    Regards, Suzanna
    PS I have just tried to import those 4 photos and they are in iPhoto but the photo name is date and time instead of image number as in Finder. That will make it really hard to find?

  • Cannot import any pictures into iPhoto 5

    A customer has an iMac/G5/1.8Gig running 10.3.9 and iPhoto 5.x. All worked fine until a few weeks ago, when it would not accept any jpg's that she would try to import into her library. I have removed all her pictures from the library, trashed all prefs, caches and settings, basically starting fresh. I try to bring in her old iPhoto pics, jpgs, whatever, but I get an error for every single item. I can open all these pics in picture viewer fine. I have run Diskwarrior and fixed premissions, no change. I even created a new user account and tried, same thing.
    HELP!!
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   256 MB RAM

    Julie:
    Where are those pictures located when you're attempting to import into iPhoto? Are they physically located inside the iPhoto Library folder? If so then that's the problem. iPhoto will import any file that's inside its folder. Move them to the desktop and try importing again.
    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, 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

  • Importing existing photos from folders into iPhoto ends up duplicating files

    I am new to the Mac and iPhoto and am trying to test some things out with iPhoto.  I have copied exisiting photos from my old PC into the Mac Pro in various folders and now want to import them into iPhoto.  However, it seems when I do that, I end up with duplicate files .... with the original in a /pictures/folder and the iPhoto version buried deep in a master folder in the iPhoto library.  Is there a way I can easily import these existing photos into iPhoto without ending up with duplicates?  I realize it's better to have two copies than one but will actually have two or three back up copies too.  Any advice appreciated!  thanks!

    That is how it is supposed to work. iPhoto will be the photo manager and will also manage all image files. If you are using iPhoto forget about the extra folders with image files in Pictures and use only iPhoto to access the photos.
    See the user tips on how to access the photos in iPhoto from other applications:  (iPhoto for Mac)
    How to Access Files in iPhoto
    iPhoto and File Management
    Exporting From iPhoto
    If you do not want a photo manager and prefer the Finder, use PICASA.  But give iPhoto a chance. It is very versatile and in the long run much saver than letting image files sitting around in open folders. You have always access to your photos from other applications using the provided tools, like the Media Browser.

  • Importing pictures into iPhoto from iPhone 4s

    I figured out the fix for the Mac users having this problem. I connected my iPhone to my iMac and started iTunes. A dialogue came up in iTunes, I OK'd that and then OK'd the usual "Do you trust this Mac" that comes up on my iPhone.
    Suddenly Image Capture launched itself and there were all my photos, ready to be downloaded.

  • How do i import photos from dropbox into iphoto?

    I have several photos in Dropbox that I am trying to import into iPhoto and use in a iPhoto book.  Is there a way to do this and bring in batch photos at one time?

    To get them into iPhoto you must Import them from a physical location on your drive. If they are "in the cloud" them you need to download them to your computer such as the Desktop. Or they may be in a folder in the Dropbox folder in your Home folder or in your Pictures folder.

  • Cannot transfer photos from iPhone into iPhoto 9

    So I was transferring vacation pictures and had no problem uploading pictures from my memory card into iPhoto but when I plugged in my iPhone and clicked 'import selected', a box came up saying "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library". Does anyone know whats going on and how I fix this problem? I have uploaded photos from my iPhone many times before this and have never had a problem. 

    And it's  iphoto '09.  I'm not quite sure what that means though.  Do you mean on the hard drive? Sorry, not super computer savy.
