Photo's on your Mac

Hi
I have a mini SD card with some photos on and need to get them onto my MacBook Pro.
I presume I need a card reader of sorts but unsure which one, I know there is a slot on the side of my MacBook, is this a card slot?
Appreciate any advice.
Regards,
Les

ICloud Photo Library on a Mac

While we're waiting for the new iCloud Photo Library to make it to OSX, I discovered an interesting way to get photos loaded on your Mac into your iCloud Photo Library. The bad news is it won't handle videos yet.
Assuming you have all your photos in iPhoto, you must first set up a copy on your hard drive. Select the photos you want to put in iCloud Photo Library in iPhoto, then choose Export from the File menu. In Kind, select Original to preserve the quality of your photos, then click Export and select the folder where you want to dump the photos.
Next, sign in to iCloud, click Photos (Beta), then click Upload. Select all the photos you just exported and click Open. After the upload completes, you should begin to see these photos on your other devices - iPad and iPhone - if you have set them to use the iCloud Photo Library. After you finish the upload, you can then delete the exported photos to save space on your hard drive.

Your Mac will only show you the images in the Photo Streams. To see your iCloud Photo Library (Beta) use the Photos.app on the iCloud webpage.
https://www.icloud.com
or,if you want to upload to iCloud Photo Library (Beta), use
https://beta.icloud.com
When the Photos.app for Mac will have been released early next year, you will be able to browse iCloud Photo Library (Beta) from the Photos.app on your Mac.
See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ

Why does photo stream on my i phone have more of my pictures than photo stream on my mac?

Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane. Then log back in and re-enable, respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream on your Mac.

How to Export photos and videos from Mac to iPhone?

Hi everyone,
I was trying to export a video from my Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) running latest version of OS X to my iPhone 5 (running iOS 8). I have tried everything in iTunes and iPhotos to be able to export Photos and videos to 'Photos' icon in my iPhone, but haven't got success so far. It's easy to do in a windows computer just copy and paste but I don't know how to do it in a Mac...
Could anyone here help me with that??
Thanks

running latest version of OS X
Is that MacOS X 10.9.5, or have you upgraded to a Beta version?

What are your settings on your iPhone for iCloud? Have you enabled iCloud Drive and iCloud Photo Library?
Then you are out of luck. With these settings, syncing of photos with your iPhone is disabled, so you can no longer sync with iTunes.
And the Photo Stream is behaving buggy and will not sync from your Mac to the iPhone.
Try, if disabling these settings and restarting the iPhone will help.
Otherwise, mail the photos or put them into Dropbox, until you can upgrade to Yosemite and iCloud Photo Library on your Mac.

How upload to iCloud photo library beta from mac

How do I upload photos from imac (iPhoto) to iCloud photo library beta.

I have bought 500 gb of data a month. However what is the point as I only have access to the photos I take on my phone. I have no option in the beta.icloud/photo app to upload my photos from my mac.. what am I missing?
The option to upload should be there on the iCloud web page, but I don't see it. That is what iCloud Help says:
Add new photos or videos
Log in to iCloud.com, then click Photos.
Click Upload and select the photos or videos you want to add.
Click Choose to upload them to your library.
So, I am sure, the option to upload will be there soon. It must be an oversight. Send feedback to Apple: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
The still elusive "Photos.app" on your Mac is supposed to bring the ability to upload to iCloud Photo Library on the Macs. The release has been announced for "Early next year". For the time being, upload the photos you want in iCloud Photo Library to your devices (Photo Stream, Mail) and add them from there to the iCloud Photo Library.

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

HT204022 how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

I'm having this problem too - although it's a recent issue as I was previously able to view all my iPhoto library albums via Apple TV. Currently I can only get my Photo Stream (presumably via iCloud).
When I go into Advanced within iTunes Preferences, I can't see any options for photos - what do I need to do?
Many thanks

Backing up iPhoto - then deleting photos on your Mac, then backup with additional photos, will this lose any photos

Just wondering on the following when backing up Iphotos:
If you backup your iphoto libary from your mac then remove some of these photos on your mac (to create additional space on the hard drive), then add additional photos to your iphoto libary, and do a back up of your iphotos libary - will the new back up still keep the old photos (in the backup) that you have deleted?
As i have alot of photos on my Mac that are eating up my hard drive space, but i am to scared to do anything incase i lose any of my photos.
Any ideas???
Cheers

Depends.
What are you using to back up?
A straight copy of the Library to the external will definitely overwrite the Library.
Here's a strategy that might help:
Here's one way to do what you want:
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.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

Puuting photos from your mac to your PC?

is it possible to transfer the pictures on your ipod that you have taken with the mac photobooth onto your ipod and then onto your windows PC. if so please explain
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello there. Your iPod will have to be formatted for Windows so that it will mount on the PC Windows desktop. You can do this a couple of ways. Mount the iPod on your Mac by plugging it in, and having the option set to use it as a hard drive and appear in the finder. You can set this function from within iTunes by right-clicking on the iPod icon and getting info. Now just drag the images over in the Finder to the iPod icon. Unmount it, plug it into the Windows machine, and then Explore it. Find the image files in the root directory of the iPod, drag them to your Windows My Photos folder and you are set.
If the photo is synced to iPhoto, you can simply plug the iPod into your Windows box, and explore the iPod. There is a Photos folder created by iPhoto, that will contain the image.

How do you transfer photos from iPhoto on your Mac to your iPhone?

Trying to figure out how to get photos from iphoto on my mac to my iphone

Hook your phone up to your computer and sync it in iTunes. Before doing the sync, check the Photo tab for your device, and make sure you have selected what photos you want to download. You can do this by Event or Album or a combination of both. Check the appropriate boxes on the Photos tab for what you want to do, and then Sync.
Also, when you first hook up your phone, iPhoto may open automatically to import any photos on your phone that are not yet imported to iPhoto. You can do that first, then go to iTunes to sync the device.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
