Only importing certain pictures from camera

I only want to import certain photos from my mom's Canon camera into iPhoto. Is there a way that i can see a list of the pictures on the camera and import only a few of them?
Thanks,
Beth

Use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to do this.

Isn't importing all pictures from camera

I recently bought the Adobe Elements Organizer and for some reason it isn't importing all of my pictures from my camera. It is only importing certain ones. I have a Nikon D5000. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

What is the version of Camera Raw plugin installed on your system ?

How do i only download certain pictures from my camera?

everytime i hook up my camera it tries to download all of my pictures... how do i only get the ones i need?

Hi.
Ignore iPhoto's initial 'ready to import...' screen. Instead, choose File > Import to Library. There you'll get a navigation dialog. If your camera mounts on the Desktop like an external drive (it appears in the left column of a Finder window, below your Hard Drive) then you can navigate to the camera, preview the files, and select only the ones you wish to import.
If your camera does not mount on the Desktop (most Canons don't) then you can mount the card by using a USB card reader.
Or, use the multi-step method where you launch Image Capture, "Download Some" to a Desktop folder, import into iPhoto, and delete the Desktop folder. This method allows you to browse the files on your camera even if it doesn't mount on the Desktop.
A general Mac technique that works in the Finder, iPhoto, and many apps:
Shift-click to select a contiguous range of items;
Command-click to select or deselect discontiguous items.
About Image Capture: Command-click works if your put the window in 'List' view.
Regards.

You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

I am unable to import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11 without getting message saying "the file is an unrecognizable format" They are JPG files like always but now i can only import from a CD. What is the fix to this problem?

I have always been able to import pictures from camera to iphoto without a problem. Now, for some unknown reason our iMac and Mac Laptop will not import pictures from camera to iphoto 9 or 11...what is the fix to this problem? It will only accept import from a CD.

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

HT4236 as per my earlier question about deleting duplicate pictures from my Ipad- You asked how they were imported- I imported my pictures from my camera to my MacBook and then synched. suggestions have not worked to remove pics. hopefully something will

In response to all of your responses. I imported my pictures from my camera- that worked fine. I tend to use Iphoto.
Then I synched my MacBook and Ipad 2, that worked fine except when I synched my Ipad for it's normal 2 week synching it copied the pictures again. Now I want to get rid of the duplicates/triplicates- my albums were also broken up and need to be reorganized. I have tried all of your suggestions - thank you-
have gone to the Apple store with no success.
highlighting the pictures and then hitting delete does not work.
Trying to delete them thru my Mac does not work
highlighting and then going to edit does not have a delete
Did not find Image Capture in apps.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

How do you delete only certain pictures from the photo library on the iphone 5?

I just purchased an iphone 5. I would like to know how you delete only certain pictures from the photo library. You can delete from camera roll, but not photo library!! There are duplicate pics and ones that I don't even want on my phone.

Your photo library is a complete list of all photos on your phone, including the camera roll and any albums you've created.
Therefore it will always duplicate photos in your camera roll.
The images are simply links, not additional copies of the photo

I can't import my picture from my camera to iPhoto '11

I can't import my pictures from my camera to iPhoto '11 please help me!

Can you explain what happens? Do you connect a camera or card reader, drag & drop photos from the Desktop and iPhoto does what?

When i try to import my pictures from my camera i get an error saying unreadable files. What do i do to import them?

First launch Image Capture, located in the Applications folder, and see if you can upload the phiotos to a folder on the Desktop. If you can then import the folder into iPhoto.
Then reformat the memory card using the camera's format option, take a few test photos and try importing into iPhoto again.

Since upgrade of IOS, my once dependable camera connection kit will only import landscape photos from my Sony Alpha DSLR, but red exclaimation symbol only for portrait format. Any ideas why?
I am using an ipad2 with the latest operating system upgrade. My problems started with the upgrade to v6. Before that, portrait and landscape pics were uploaded from camera with no problems.

Hi,
I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
Anyway, thank you,
Chris

How can I put selected pictures from camera roll into a seperate album removing them completly from camera roll??

Im gunna be straight up honest here.. I have some rude pictures of my girlfriend on my iphone which I would like to keep for my own personal viewing but obviously dont want family and friends seeing when they are flicking threw my camera album which often happens. I had intended to make a private album put them all in there and put a passcode on the album. With all of apples features I would of thought this would be a standard thing you could do, however when I made the private album the pictures were still in my camera roll and if I try to delete them I am told the pictures will be removed completly from my phone.. This is stupid. What is the point in being able to make albums if the pictures are going to still all be in the camera roll!? Does anybody know of a way I can move pictures from camera roll to a private album?? Any help would be much appreciated.

Photos placed in a user created album or in an existing album are not copied/duplicated. The photos placed in an album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Camera Roll. Having an album for select photos is for viewing the select photos only without having to see all photos in the Camera Roll.
The same applies to albums transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. Photos on the albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos appear as they are duplicated when they are not. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos on the Photo Library or Camera Roll by selecting it.

I only import referenced pictures, why y do I have large Aperture library?

Firstly, thank you all for your answers to my previous posts
You are helping me wonderfully in migrating to Aperture
Given my increasingly limited disk space and other management reasons, i only import referenced pictures leaving them in their original locations.
1. I seem to have a what i think is a large and growing Aperture library even though i save no images to the library (eg 1.2G for 2000 pics averaging 300K in size). Is this just the overhead required for using the application and all its edits, previews and references or could i be doing something wrong?
2. If i drag and drop a picture into a project and folder, will it always be a referenced picture or wil it depend on some setting somewhere to determine what happens with a drag and drop import?
Thanks in Advance

I'm a relatively new Aperture user, but I think your library size is comparable to what I'm seeing, and it is previews, editing info etc that takes up the space.
As I understand it, if you drag and drop within Aperture, a referenced file will simply be re-indexed in the new location but remain a references file. If you drag and drop from a folder outside Aperture into Aperture, you will import the file rather than reference it. So far, from my experimenting, you need to use the import dialogue to keep it to referenced files.

Downloading pictures from camera

I am trying to transfer new pictures from camera (they come up in a search so I know they are in the computer)...BUT I am unable to transfer them to the place where all my other photos are ('My {Pictures').
When the search results are on the screen there is no option to create new file names and move individual pictures to the new files. i.e./ I want to file pictures under different topics.
I have many other files (done in the past). For some reason this morning I cannot find the right options.
Maybe something has changed?
Maybe I have to buy something?
Maybe I am too stupid to have a computer?
Maybe I should be doing something more useful>?
HELP.........!!!!

Downloading pictures from camera
I downloaded photos from my camera.....not sure which program I used.....I THINK it is Adobe Photoshp starter edition 3.0.
But I dont know where those photos are.
When I search them....they all come up under a file name that I used. But then they are in a place called Search Results (of course).
However ...with all my other photos (downloaded months ago)...under that same file name, there are only 3 photos transferred to it.
At some point this morning, I was able to click and drag and drop into the file where I want it.
My hope was to subdivide about 99 pictures into 4-5 different folders. I ran into problems when I was trying to set up new folders with different names.
I think, maybe, I have downloaded at different times using different programs. then different programs would not speak to each othere!??!
Things pop up and I follow thru.....now today....after 3-4 hrs messing with this I recognize that there are 3 different systems in my terminal: Dell's, Adobe and Corel.
Can you follow all of this?
I really appreciate hearing from someone.....
Thanks in advance for your efforts.

How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll that were

How do I down load pictures from Camera Roll on my iPhone to my Mac Pro that were taken prior to iCloud?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This was the same prior to photo streaming with iCloud and remains the same since.
With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for the import which also supports iCloud photo streaming, or the Image Capture application.
