Questions on importing pictures onto 3G from iPhoto: HOW?

I have a number of pictures I would like to import from a folder I have created in iPhoto 9.2 onto my iPhone 3Gs. I have w few questions:
1. These photos are both RAW and JPG and are between 8MP and 12MP in size. Will they be converted automatically to a size and format usable on the iPhone when imported ?
2. How do I set iPhoto to ONLY import (sync) the photos in one specific folder in iPhoto? I have looked but have not yet been able to find how to navigate to just that specific folder when I have the iPhone attached in iTune's sync function.

1. These photos are both RAW and JPG and are between 8MP and 12MP in size. Will they be converted automatically to a size and format usable on the iPhone when imported ?
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process are optimized for viewing on your iPhone. The original resolution and size of the photos transferred is reduced.
2. How do I set iPhoto to ONLY import (sync) the photos in one specific folder in iPhoto?
Create an iPhoto album for these photos. After doing so, under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences choose selected albums, events, and faces.
Under the Albums section, select the iPhoto album or albums that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
If you want to add additional photos to your iPhone, you can place the additional photos in an existing iPhoto album in iPhoto that you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync, or create a new iPhoto album for the new photos. To remove photos from your iPhone, delete the photos from the iPhoto album in iPhoto followed by a sync. To remove an entire iPhoto album from your iPhone, deselect the album in Albums section under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with Importing Pictures onto my Mac mini with Lion installed by using a Card Reader,
    What is the problem here so I can get Pictures onto my Computer. ,

    Hi Noob Søren
    There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
    As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
    You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
    I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
    You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
    Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
    If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
    Hope this helps

  • I was importing photos to picasa from iphoto and it shut down when i returned i had no photos in iphoto

    i was importing photos to picasa from iphoto, and it shut down when doing so.  when i restarted i photo, all of my photos were gone.  where are they??  please help??

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, all my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened?

    This is very upsetting.  ALL my pictures are gone from iPhoto.  What happened, and how can I get them back?

    Look in your user folder/Pictures. Is the Library there?
    Try rebuilding the library.

  • I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000  photos in my iPhoto Library. Can I import only certain events from iPhoto into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library?

    I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
    And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
    Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.

    Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
    Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
    iPhoto version is 9.5.1
    Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
    I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
    It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
    What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
    iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem.  Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
    The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
    Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
    Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video,  that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed.  You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
    Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11

  • Importing Pictures and Tags from Photoshop Album 2.0 to IPhoto

    I will be getting a new imac in a few days and was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way I can import all my photos from Photoshop Album 2.0 to iphoto'08 without losing the tags I already created for each photo (pulling the tags in and having them automatically set up as Keywords)?

    Hi,
    I've managed to transfer all my Photoshop Album (PSA) tags to iPhoto. At this (http://www.cv2h.com/PSA2iPhoto/Welcome.html) little webpage you can read how I did it and download the files you need. It's not very hard to do.
    In short: the PSA "My Catalog.psa" file is a Microsoft Access file. It's easy to export the necessary data from it as XML. After that it's necessary to convert the binary references to the tags to readable references in the Images file. Then, generate an applescript that tells iPhoto what tags to add to which photo. Then, execute the applescript and you're done.
    I hope this helps,
    hhv.

  • IPhone 3 I cannot get my pictures to download from iPhoto.  I keep getting the error message required file cannot be found.

    I cannot get my pictures to download from my iPhoto from an albumto the iPhone 3 (one of the kids phones). I was able to download an Event.  I have changed the name.  I have used my iPhone 4 and the pictures from the album downloaded just fine. I have looked at the message board and I have deleted the cache and done all the things that were suggested.  WHAT IS THE DEAL!! I have been working on my phone and the kids phones for about five hours now and super frustrated!!! 

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • How can I import video and photos from iphoto to imovie?

    Hi, I am having trouble importing media from iphoto into imove (imovie 10.5)
    I am using a macbook pro 13 inch, early 2013 running mavericks.
    I have created an event in imovies into which I would like to import both photos and videos from my iphoto library. However, when the import window opens, the list of options from where I can import has iphoto, but it is not clickable; I can not open it.
    I have successfully imported from iphoto in the recent past on the same computer, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time.
    Thanks for any suggestions

    OK, according to
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3290
    your camera is supported by iMovie 9.  Perhaps the question is better asked in the iMovie forum.  Would you like me to ask a moderator to move the thread?

  • Importing into Aperture 3 from iPhoto as referenced files

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything this topic...
    I've just upgraded to Aperture 3. In Aperture 2, my way of working was to store RAW images in iPhoto and import as referenced files into Aperture. This was very straightforward. Now, I have 2 problems:
    1 - I can't see how to import referenced images from iPhoto. If I use the import command, my iPhoto images don't show up in the list of locations to import from; if I use the iPhoto browser in Aperture and drag from that, it imports the file into the Aperture library rather than importing as a referenced file...
    2 - If I import using the iPhoto browser, not only does it import into the Aperture library, it imports the jpeg preview rather than the RAW file.
    The only way I can see to get the RAW file into Aperture is to find it in the Finder then import into the Aperture library. This seems excessively long-winded and also duplicates the file, using up extra disk space.
    I'm using Aperture 3.0.1 and iPhoto 7.1.5
    Thanks in advance for your input

    I have not imported an iPhoto library because my workflow is to to use Aperture for storing and archiving Raw files and iPhoto for exported jpegs.
    However the instruction in the Aperture 3 PDF Manual are as follows:-
    To import your iPhoto library
    Choose File > Import > iPhoto Library.
    Select the iPhoto library in the dialog that appears.
    Choose a location for the imported images by doing one of the following:
    • To store imported masters in the Aperture library: Choose “In the Aperture Library” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    • To import the files as referenced images stored in their current location on your hard disk: Choose “In their current location” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    Tip: Choosing“Intheircurrentlocation”isrecommended.Whenyouchoosethisoption, Aperture refers to the original files in their current location and does not have to duplicate the files, which doubles the disk space needed to store the files. For more information about referenced images, see What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
    • To store imported masters as referenced images in the Pictures folder on your hard disk: Choose Pictures from the Store Files pop-up menu.
    • To store imported masters as referenced images in a location other than the Pictures folder: Choose “Choose” from the Store Files pop-up menu and select a folder. Choose “No folder” from the Subfolders pop-up menu to specify that the files be stored as separate, individual files in the selected folder. You can also specify that Aperture create a hierarchy of subfolders with specific folder names to hold your files.

  • After importing from iPhoto, how would you eliminate the photos?

    I have installed Aperture adn like it quite a bit. I imported from iPhoto (which copies over the pictures...not move.)
    I have backed up the photos in iPhoto to an external hard drive in case Aperture blows up on me and I need to go back to iPhoto. But now that I have done that, what is the suggested way to get all those pictures out of iPhoto? so I can get back that disk space.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what's wrong with simply deleting and then emptying the trash?

  • How to import only master files from iPhoto

    Hi,
    When I import an event or an album in Aperture from iPhoto, both the master and the corrected file are imported as a stack. But I would like in fact to have only the master file and rework (if necessary) the changes into aperture versioning system.
    So, is it possible (I do not see how) when importing to tell Aperture to import only the master?
    Otherwise, is it possible to ask Aperture to delete the corrected version only without having to do them one by one?
    Thanks

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Make an Alias to the Originals folder and drag the alias to the Desktop or whereever you want it.
    Now when you import, in the Import dialogue choose the Alias and it will bring you directly to the Originals Folder.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    Regards

  • How do I import pictures and videos from my iphone4 to my computer and/or itunes?

    how do i import pictures and videos to itunes and/or computer?

    If for photos/videos in the Camera Roll, iTunes has nothing whatsoever to do with importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll.
    I don't believe it is an unreasonable in the least to assume that someone with an iPhone has used a digital camera before and has imported photos from a digital camera at least once with their computer.
    And a little advice - people that answer questions here do so voluntarily. It is not a good idea to tell someone who volunteers their time that they didn't answer the question. You may not understand the answer and if not, say so along with I've never imported photos from a digital camera before and/or describe the problem you are having so maybe someone can help you. It is a good idea when asking for help not to assume that someone can read your mind and knows what "I too have problems with this" means exactly.
    You're welcome.
