Same photos are always included in group of new photos to import from my iPhone to Photos.

Every time I plug my iPhone into my MacBook a group of photos are always included in the group of new photos in the group of new photos Photos selects to import.
How can I convince Photos it has already imported these photos many times before?

What photos are you expecting to stream that are not streaming?
Only the photos in Photo Stream stream to other devices over iCloud. Preexisting photos and albums that are synced to the iPhone do not stream over iCloud to other devices.

Imported and deleted photos are always showing up as "new photos"

recently iphoto is acting strange:
photos that i have previously imported from my iphone into iphoto (and then subsequently deleted) are constantly showing up as "new photos" when i connect the iphone to iphoto.
why is it getting confused like this, and how can i fix this so i don't have to manually select the photos i want to import every time.
normally it would always recognise which photos were in fact "new" and not show old photos in the "new photos" section.
any help much appreciated.
i am using iphone 5 with latest OS, and iphoto 11 (9.2.3)

iPhoto is showing you all photos on the card, that are not in your Photo Library. It does not remember, that they once had been in the library.

When I launch Finder for the first time the same folders are always open

Hi. When I first boot up and launch Finder the same folders are always open on my boot drive. I close them all and continue to work on the computer, opening and closing folders as needed for that day's projects until I quit for the day. But the next time I start up (normally the next day) the same exact folders are open on my boot drive when I first open Finder or if I just double-click the drive. I've tried switching accounts and then back again and trashing Finder preferences, making sure every single folder is closed before I shut down, but the folders continue to show up as open the next time I boot up my Mac Pro. Any ideas anyone?
Mac Pro 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon / OS X 10.6.8

Thanks for your suggestion. In the meantime I contacted support at www.bombich.com (creator of Carbon Copy Cloner) and told them what I was thinking about doing and they suggested deleting the hidden .DS_Store files in the folders remaining open. This is the explanation they gave me:
This file, created by the Finder, keeps track of folder view options, icon positions, and other visual information about folders. A separate .DS_Store file is created in each directory about that directory.
So I went online and found the Terminal commands for showing (and hiding) hidden files and trashed, one by one, all the .DS_Store files in the folders that were remaining open and that did the trick. I've tested Finder several times on relaunch and reboot and it's working perfectly again. Folders remain closed as I've left them before shutting down. Big relief. And I've learned something about .DS_Store files.
Thanks to you and Eric Root for your replies and suggestions. They are appreciated.

TA22992 Trying to sync new photos from iphoto withou having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already try "selected albums, events, etc" no

Trying to sync new photos from iphoto without having the old photo synced on ipad2 but when I select sync from iphoto the old photos are already included. How do I stop itunes from preselecting photos? Already tried selecting "selected albums, events, and faces, and automatically include" then I enter "no Events" with no success the photos still are being synced along with the new photos. I want to be able to add new photo and remove old photos. Please help this has taken a lot of my time trying to figure it out.

If I knew the answer I would have given it - but since it is not an iPhoto question I suggested
You might try the iPad forum - or the iTunes forum - this really is not an iPhoto question

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

I'm having the same buffering issues that other users are having when I try to send a short video from my Iphone 4S to my Apple TV. Has anyone heard back from Apple on this bug ?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

When importing from external hard drive, photos appear as thumbnail size. How do you edit. Working on imac- snow leopard

I have photos on an external hard drive. When I try to import them to iphotos they appear as a thumbnail (?), small in size. How is the photo restored to its original image. If I try to print, it comes out pixelated. I have many photos on hard drive and would like to restore to original size. Using Leopard OS

and the only time I see the pixellation problem is when the original photo's file size is small.
What did you expect? Of course if the file size is small it won't print well. There isn't enough data to create a reasonable quality print.
Web Photos are - typically - very heavily compressed to speed up downloading. I've seen Facebook photos - for instance - lose 90% of their file size after being "processed". There is no way that a 20kb file is going to print well at any size greater than a postage stamp.
So, basically, the problem you have is the photos you are importing, I'm afriad.

Photoshop 11 elements editor limits imports from iPhoto to 4 photos

photoshop 11 elements editor limits imports from iPhoto to 4 photos?

Yes. It's been that way for some time now, even with other external editors. You can send a report to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Suppose you create an album of photos imported from your iPhone with roll, then delete those photos on the roll ... because they were also deleted on the album?

suppose you create an album of photos imported from your iPhone with roll, then delete those photos on the roll ... because they were also deleted on the album?

If you create an album directly on the phone, then if you delete the photo from its original album then it will also be deleted from all albums that you've copied it into; if you just remove it from the newly created album then it will just be deleted from that album, it will still be in its original album and any other albums that you've copied it into.

Video clips imported from an iPhone into iMovie ver 6 are rotated 90 degrees; how can I fix this or avoid it?

Video clips imported from an iPhone into iMovie ver 6 are rotated 90 degrees; how can I fix this or avoid it?

iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
(note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

A friend of mine was recently in an accident and we need to delete some photos from her iPhone's "Photo Stream From my Computer" album, but cannot figure out a way to do it (there's no delete button). Help?

Sounds like it was synced from her computer using iTunes. Connect the phone to her computer, open iTunes, click on the name of her phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and see if this folder is checked. If so, unchecking it and syncing will remove them all, or deleting/moving the photos from the folder on her computer and syncing will remove the deleted/moved photos.

TS3989 Photos are ok in aperture and iphoto but in photostream on ipad and iphone the top of all portrait photos is chopped off. I tried switching photostream off and on but got the same. Only happened with photos added today, all past photos are fine

I have never had any problems before but all portrait photos added today have the top chopped off. For example , people's heads are missing or roofs or buildings are chopped off. Photos are fine on the camera and on my mac in iphoto and aperture. Switched off photostream on my ipad...all photos were deleted. Switched photostream back on and all photos uploaded again and portrait photos are cropped again

It sounds like while trying to import the photos with insufficient disk space those image files were damaged and not copied fully. Now that you have sufficient space (a minimum of 10 GB is recommended) the latest imports are good.
What do you get if you export one of the problem photos out of iPhoto as Kind=Original and try to open it with Preview. If it appears the same then there's nothing you can to do recover them.
