Need help moving photos from iphone3gs to 'My Pictures' or sync with itunes

Hi, I've recently bought a new iphone 3GS, unfortunately my PC crashed, which was already synced with my iphone. I had saved ALL my photos to my iphone temporarily while I wiped my system and reinstalled Windows 7... now I have 4000 photos stored on my iphone which I want on my PC. The problem is when I connect the iphone to my PC it detects the device as a camera/iphone but only lets me view the pictures on the 'Camera Roll' and not my 'Photo Library'.
How do I move the photos on the iphones 'Photo Library' to my PC?????

The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to recover photos synced to your phone as the iphone is not a backup device and should not be used as such. You will have to use third party software to recover your photos from your phone. What OS are you running on your computer?

Need help moving photos from my iMac to my iPad.

New to the Mac World....I am trying to move a photo file from my iMac to my iPad....and have not figured it out.

You need to sync your iPad to your computer. When in iTunes click of your device then photos. You can then select the album(s) you want. Then just click on sync.

Hi Ashley...
My iPod crashed
You need to restore your iPod before trying to sync with iTunes.

If the iPod won't show up under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list, try here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
Backup its backup. Backup content.
USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
Have you had to restore the iPod?
Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

I need to export photos from my ipod touch that was synced to my old PC which crashed. I have a new PC with itunes. My itouch is backed up to it now but I don't want to sync it because it warns that my itouch content will be erased. Help!

My old PC crashed. I now have a thousand or so pictures on my itouch and nowhere else. I have backed up this itouch to my new PC with itunes. I want to move or copy the pictures from my itouch to a folder on my new PC. The older photos do not show when I look at the folders, just a handfull of new pictures that were saved by game apps on the itouch. What is the best way to do this?

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

Help moving photos from starter edition 3.2 to Elements 11

How do I move photos from Photoshop starter edition 3.2 to Photoshop

Your photos are just files somewhere on your harddrive and you import them via the organizer. Doesn't really involve any specifics beyond that.

Need help getting photos from a shared photo stream in iCloud

I received several invites to several shared photo streams from the same person. Some of them worked fine. Others said "from unknown" and don't show up, even though they are all from the same person. What do I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you delete photos from a shared photo stream they are removed everywhere, however if the other party has already copied the photo to one of their own albums, you can't delete that.

Moving Photos from IPhoto to the Picture Library

I'm a heavy IPhoto user and have over 9000 photos in it. The main reason I moved to IPhoto8 was its greater capacity. But I now find that IPhoto runs much more slowly and I constantly need to close IPhoto and start again. Before I add the thousand or so photos from our recent travels, I would like to move some of these photos out of IPhoto into my Photo Library on my Imac. Is this the best way to free up capacity? If so, how do I do it? I'd also appreciate any other hints on managing IPhoto capacity. Would adding extra RAM make a real difference? (I already have 1GB of Memory on my Imac.) Apologies if these are obvious questions.......

Essentially, I'm trying to find a way to avoid having IPhoto slow to the point of stopping while I'm working on my photos. When this happens, I close IPhoto and start again. This works fine, until the program slows and stops the next time.
The problem has only arisen since I have had between 8000-9000 photos on IPhoto8 (Initially I used the previous version and upgraded to IPhoto 8 to gain additional capacity). Most photos have been adjusted (exposure, cropping enhanced etc) and I've usually added titles and other details. I was surprised when this problem occurred, as I knew that capacity shouldn't be a problem with IPhoto8.
I have only used about half my available disk space, so that isn't the problem. This is why I thought of increasing the RAM.
Can I delete photos from IPhotos and retain them in the Picture Library? In the short term, this seems to be a possible "work around".
Any other suggestions?

Need help moving photos to external drive

Hi, all--here's hoping one or more of you Aperture veterans can help.
Here's my situation: I'm not new to photography, but I'm new to Aperture. Just bought 3.3 and still getting to know what it can do. I'm an emigre from iPhoto, and one of the reasons I upgraded within Apple is that I was tired of the non-intuitive nature of PS Elements. I like to take pictures, not spend endless time in the dim glow of a screen digging through sub-menus for stuff, and from what I read, Aperture seemed more intuitive.
But now I've got a seemingly very basic problem that hours of poring over discussion threads and searching through the hundreds of pages of the manual has done little to address with any clarity:
How do I move (not just copy) older photos in projects to external drives, but in such a way that Aperture still keeps track of them, even when the drives are not connected? (The Aperture marketing I read/viewed clearly said Aperture could do this, and I'm running out of space on my MacBook Pro (15" from about 2008, running Lion) with lots of CF cards piling up.)
Info that may help:
-I need to move not just original (imported into iPhoto directly from the camera) photos, but also those I've adjusted in Elements, then re-exported into iPhoto (I would say "and now into Aperture," but as you know, there's no longer an import process b/w iPhoto and Aperture).
-I shoot mostly RAW.
-I have no idea whether the pictures are "Referenced" or "Managed" (for space reasons, I have yet to import any files directly into Aperture; all existing photos are from iPhoto, and if I was given an option when I set up Aperture, I don't now recall it).
-I have external drives with plenty of space to move older pix to (I also have multiple backups, including Time Machine, additional external hard drives, and DVDs)
Can somebody who knows how to do this safely please explain in clear language how to move photos as projects onto external hard drives so that Aperture keeps track of them via viewable thumbnails, even when the photo files themselves live on a hard drive that is not connected at the time?
Thanks in advance!

First things first:
You can easily check if an image is managed or referenced by ctrl-clicking on an image version and selecting "Locate referenced files...". If Aperture says "No Referenced Files", your originals are managed by Aperture and stored within the library itself, otherwise it should show you the location of the original, and give you some options to verify the references and so on. I don't know which method is used when importing from iPhoto.
Now, here's something you need to ask yourself:
Does it make more sense for you to keep the library on your laptop and the originals on an external drive, or does it make more sense to move both the library and the originals to the external drives?
In the first case, you can open and look at the thumbnails, but there's not a whole lot else you can do with your images when the external drive is off line.
If you have vast amounts of originals, spread across multiple drives, it might make sense to keep the library on your laptop and connect whichever external drive you need at the time. However, it might also make more sense to split such a huge library into mutiple libraries, stored with their respective originals (which could be either managed or referenced).
In my case, it makes sense to keep multiple libraries, with managed originals, but your mileage may vary.
Here's a tip that might help you decide: A small library is quicker to navigate and work with than a huge one, although performance has improved vastly with later versions of Aperture.
Once you have decided on the appropriate organization, you can start moving things around (after you've created the appropriate backups):
If your library contains all managed originals already, and you want to move the entire library off to the external drive:Simply drag and drop the library itself (using Finder) to the new location.
If your library use referenced originals, and you want to keep it that way, or your library manages your originals, and you want to start using referenced originals:
Select all your images
Click on the File menu and select Relocate Originals...
Locate the destination for your originals, and pay special attention to the "Subfolder Format" and "Name Format". I'd suggest choosing "Project Name" and "Original File Name" for the two.
Click on Relocate Originals, and twiddle your thumbs while Aperure moves all your originals to the new location.
If your library uses referenced originals, and you wish to let your library manage the originals:
Select all your images
Click on the File menu and select Consolidate Originals...
Decide if you want to Copy or Move the originals into the library. If you're running out of space, it might be best to Move.
Click Ok, and wait for the operation to complete.
(Optional) If you wish to move your entire library to the external drive, drag and drop the library to the new location.
I hope that answers your question.

New PC user needs help moving stuff from MAC

I have just had to resort to getting a PC and I don't know how to get all my stuff from my mac to my PC. Specifically; iPhoto library, itunes folder, mailboxes and signatures in Mail, bookmarks in firefox or safari, 'address book' v cards, and all my textedit docs (AAARRRGGHHHH!).
Can anyone help me? My new PC is a Quad core acer running vista.

Apple devices are designed to only allow you to sync to one itunes library at a time. If you try, it will replace everything on the deivce with the itunes library you are syncing to.
If she has already synced her ipad to another computer, then this is normal behavior.
It would be best to create a library just for her. If you can import/export the music and photos on the computer into her own itunes library.

The reason that content from her ipad is showing up on your iphone is probably due to you both sharing the same apple id and having automatic downloads turned on in the settings.
You can turn this off by going to settings/itunes and app stores/automatic downloads/turn off

I need help: Moving music from an ipod to a new library.

Hi, so I'm having a lot of trouble. My friend just gave me his old Ipod because he just got a new one. And it has a lot of music on it that I want. But I don't know how to take the music that's already on the ipod and put it onto my itunes. Because my itunes keeps saying the Ipod is synced to another library and that I need to sync it to my library. But to sync the ipod to my library all the songs that I don't have that are on the ipod I loose and all I end up with are the same songs I already had. So I hope you guys understand my question. I just wanna know how to move the songs from the ipod to my computer without loosing any music.

There are probably programs you could download to transfer music on windows, but the old way works fine. First you will need to change your folder view options to show all hidden files. Then plug in the ipod and ignore itunes (dont quit it or the ipod will dismount) open the ipod drive and go into the ipod control file, then into the library file. There will be a bunch of files all starting with F. Inside of those are the songs, they will all be labeled some random 4 letter title. Once you drag them into itunes they will regain all the correct titling and info. This will probably take a while, and its really only for situations where your computer crashes and you want ALL you music back. You really can't pick and choose the songs you want from it, since everything is labeled gibberish, and they are in no order whatsoever in the F folders.
Good luck. You could also just look for a free program somewhere to transfer the music. My method is the old way.

Need help uploading photos from iPhone to Macbook Pro?

So say I took a lot of photos on the iPhone, then I created several albums that contain a substantial amount of photos too. When I uploaded photos to the Mac using iPhoto, I noticed that all the photos got put together into one "Event" and the other albums in the iPhone were nowhere to be found. Is there a way to upload photos so that the "Camera Roll" gets an "Event" and the other albums get their own respective "Events"?
What I want to know is how to upload photos so that each iPhone camera album appears as a separate "event" in iPhoto. Please help and thanks in advance.

Per the iPhone User Manual, I don't believe you can do what you're inquiring about.
Among other things, it clearly states albums on the iPhone are not transfered to iPhoto as such.

By albums are you referring to albums in iPhoto on your iPhone. Only photos in the Camera Roll get imported into the iPhoto library when connecting the iPhone to your Mac.

I need help moving data from my iPod to my computer.

Is there a way I can take all the music and movies and pictures from my ipod and transfer them onto my computer. Mainly I just want my pictures back I never backed them up on my laptop and that got destroyed while my husband was deployed in iraq a few years back. Im not sure how to work everything I always gave my ipod to him to have him upload everything on it. I just bought a Macbook and I am still learning how it works. Is it even possible to take stuff from my ipod and save it to my computer now?

First of all, when connecting your iPod to your computer, be sure to click "NO" if you recieve a message like this: "This iPod is linked to another computer. Would you like to replace the content?"
Then, onto the iPod-to-computer transfer:
There are a few different methods with transferring iPod songs to your computer.
These include:
--- Manually transfer your iPod songs to iTunes. See MacMuse's posting here: iPod songs to computer (MacMuse post)
--- Add your iPod's folder into the iTunes library (via iTunes). See Jeff Bryan's post here: Using iTunes settings to transfer iPod songs to iTunes
--- Use a third-party program to get the transferring done. For a Windows computer, CopyPod should work good. Also, you can try out YamiPod.
I hope that helps you.
