Problems downloading photos from new camera into i photo macbook pro os ver 10.6.8, new camera Olympus VR340, iphoto version 9.2.3 -- any thoughts?

Have a "vintage macbook pro running snow leopard os vers. 10.6.8. Just bought a new camera -- Olympus VR 340. Yesterday the photos downloaded into iphoto with no problerms. Today they won't -- in fact -- iphoto just has the turning wheel and won't function (version 9.2.8). Any thoughs about what the problem is and how to get it to work again? Never had problems with iphoto before -- with multiple cameras.
thanks.

Quit iPhoto, then go to Users / your home folder / Library / Preferences.
In that folder you will find two files named com.apple.iPhoto.LSSharedFileList.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist
trash both files, then restart iPhoto.
Next go to iPhoto/Preferences and make sure you have selected Connecting Camera Opens: iPhoto

How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ? 10

How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ?

The easiest way is probably to use a USB flash drive (you may have to test whether it is compatible with the Mac OS 9 iMac).
Somewhat more complicated would be to connect the two computers via Ethernet to (the built-in switch of) a broadband router, and then transfer files over the Internet (or a local network).
There are other methods as well (FireWire, CD-R, et cetera), depending upon the exact computer models involved.

How do I add old photos from my MacbookPro into my photo stream to view on my iPhone

I'd like to add old photos saved onto my MacbookPro into my photo stream so that I can view them on my Iphone.
I have tried selecting 'share' when looking at the photo in iPhoto - and then selecting to share it to my photo stream but i can't see it in the stream on either of the devices.
Is there some sort of delay before uploading?
Please help. Thank you

That's what I was doing but they just don't seem to show up at all. Even when I drop and drag them from the iPhoto into the stream.
Is there a limit on how many photos can be in the stream at one time?
yes definitely. 1000. THe oldest are deleted. THis may be your problem.

How do I move my photos from the organizer into the photo bin?

PSE 11 on Mac running Mountain Lion. I managed to import some photos into the Organizer, But how do I get those photos into the Photo bin of the Elements Editor? I actually have opened 3 of the photos with Editor but they don't appear in the photo bin. I am probably missing something pretty obvious but am totally new to PSE 11 - the last version I used was PSE 8 which used the Browser option in which you could just click on the photo you wanted in the browser and it would open it in the Editor. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, so I'm feeling really dumb - I can't find where "thumbnails" is in the Organizer. I'm including a screenshot of the way my organizer screen looks - I don't see where an thumbnails option is -- sorry for being so dense - usually this stuff is pretty intuitive to me!

How can I sync photos from events in iphone 4s to macbook pro?

The hard drive in my macbook pro crashed so I had to get a new hard drive. Unfortunately, all the data in the hard drive, including photos, music, and movies are all gone . All of my files are in my iphone 4s. When I try to sync some of the photos to my new hard drive, it won't sync the photos that I have in the events in my iphone, only in the photo stream. Is there a way I could extract the phots in events? Gladly appreciate the help .

You'll have to purchase 3rd party software if you want to extract them directly from the phone. That or e-mail them to yourself, or set up a new shared photo stream and put the photos you want in that.
The phone is not a backup device. Since the photos came from your computer to begin with, you should have a backup of them in your backup of the computer.
You may want to seriously think about investing in an internal hard drive and turning on Time Machine.

How can I return my photos from my passport backup to my macbook pro?

Somehow I have lost my photo library- hopefully it is all on my passport back up- question is, how do I get it from the passport back to the macbook? Thanks!

Greetings Karynfromcharleston,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhoto library is missing. I know it can be worrying when data can't be located, and there are a few possible methods to recover your photo library from your external hard drive.
If you moved or copied your iPhoto library to your external drive, you can use the steps in this article to copy it back to your MacBook Pro:

If you are backing up your MacBook Pro to your external drive using Time Machine, you can use the steps in this article to restore your backed up photo library.

HT1386 I can't seem to sync photos from my iphone 3 to my macbook pro

When syncing my phone I cannot transfer the photos from the phone to my laptop (macbookPro) only the other way round. Any suggestions please?

The sync process has nothing to do with pics taken with your iphone.
You should be importing those regularaly as you would with any digital camera.

How can I upload my photos from an sd card to my Macbook Pro? I have done everything I know to do, and yet it still doens't work, I am frustrated and ready to sell this thing.

I am so frustated with this computer, I cannot get it to do anything. I have read all the forums about moving photos from an sd card to this computer and nothing is working..Can anyone please help me before I sell this thing?

put the card in the card reader, open the card (it should appear on your desktop) select the photos you want to copy and drag them to where ever you want to store them, or copy and paste them. it is exceedingly simple.
alternately open image capture and select the card from the list of devices and import them from there. again very easy.

How can I migrate my photos from iCloud Drive into iCloud Photos?

So in the midst of a local backup issue I decided to take the plunge and purchase some 200GB of storage from our friends at Cupertino to store cherished family memories in the view that they would never be lost as I can trust Tim and Co. to look after them. (No issues in that dept by the way).
However, after taking said plunge and uploading my entire back catalogue of photos/videos into an iCloud Drive "Photos backup" (original name I know) folder - i realised that iCloud Photos was becoming available - but I saw no option at the time to import such a vast amount.
My question therefore... how can I now migrate these historic moments in time from my iCloud Drive into the iCloud Photos app?
It's still using the same storage plan... just a 'move folder'.. right? well unless I'm being stupid (and I'm not ruling this out) - I can't see a way to do this.
Has anyone else fallen into the same issue?
Help me Apple-Fans, you're my only hope
James

You access them with the App responsible for the type of file.

IPhoto on my macbook air does not see my ipod nano 2nd generation. Is there a way to get the photos from this device into my photo stream without wiping them, which will happen if I sync with iTunes

I have photos on an old 2nd generation ipod nano, that have since been wiped from any other source.
I now have a shared photostream through icloud between all my other apple deivces (iphone, ipod, ipad, macbook air, apple tv), but I cant find a way to get the ipod nano photos onto the stream. The original photo files were detroyed with an old computer, that also had the itunes library to which the nano was linked.
The photos are the only items I want from the nano. Can anyone help?

You need to copy the photos off of the Nano and onto your MacBook Air first.
The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

I imported bookmarks from Firefox 3.6 on a MacBook Pro to Firefox 3.6 on new Mac Air. The bookmark folders all show up, but there are no bookmarks in the folders.

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on both machines. Exported the bookmarks at html and imported them as html. The import seemed to go well -- followed the standard approach. I can see all the folders in my Bookmarks Menu and Bookmarks Toolbar, there are no bookmarks in the folders. I tried re-exporting and re-importing.

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
Import & Backup is the third button on the toolbar in the Library that looks like a star.
You should be able to export the bookmarks via that button.
