Saving photos to iphoto

I am unable to save phtos to iphoto. I am getting an error message saying that safari is unable to communicate with iphoto. Do I need to purchase the latest version of iPhoto? I have recently upgraded to Lion and have encountered this problem since the upgrade. I am running iphoto version 8.1.2 Any advice would be appreciated.

Drag the images to the desktop and then import them to iPhoto from there is a simple workaround.

I saved photo into iPhoto slideshow, but now I can't find it. I wanted to open it in iPhoto so I could edit the photo and make it lighter. How can I find the photos I saved into iPhoto slideshow?

I need advise about saving photos into iPhoto. When I chose to save a photo, I chose it to be saved into iPhoto slideshow because that's the only choice I had that mentioned iPhoto. Now I can't find the photo in iPhoto. What did I do wrong?

Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

Saving photos from iPhoto

So I can no longer upload any photos to iphoto on my Mac... I have used all the memory, and want to know if there is an easy way to download my albums to a portable HD? Similar to how it's done in time machine. Thanks.

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.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Saving photos from iPhoto to iPad

Why when you move photos from iPhoto to iPad do you loose tags. Also would love to see photo info moved to Ipad for references.

Thanks librarygal, that does work. I am guessing it now is an issues between the Facebook app & iPhotos on the IPad. It used to work but i guess nothing ever stays the same:-(

Saving photos in iPhoto app directly

Hi
I have macbook pro 15", early 2011, 10.8.4 mountain lion OSx, and my image viewer/ editor is iphoto 11, however iphoto is for normal beginner users (like me) and even the photo editing for adding filters/ cropping/ adjusting, nothing professional. but such work done in photoshop elements 11 and others.
so I download it (PSE 11) and connect it as the editor with iphoto 11, but I faced problem while saving the photos back and I searched the net and saw video tutorial, and unfortunately so far nothing to save edited photos directly as JPEG to iphoto from PSE11.. I tried to contact customer suppory by email or chat but unfortunately was unable to do that, and it was suggested that I post such question in the forum hoping one expert to answer.
kindly if there is and solution please do show me, and/or send me link or email address to contact adobe people as this is big issue from my prospective.
thanks with regards, wait your response ASAP.

hi barbra
thank you for the reply, I did what you suggest but when I hit save, and return to iphoto, there wont be any modified photo in the same folder there, only the original one.
except for No 2 suggestion, I was doing that already but its annoying. for instance Im student in molecular biology and we use images for gel electrophoresis, we need to edit them before puplishing,, in iphoto before using any external editor, I used to make correction (exposure/ croping/ filter etc in iphoto directly to the image) and it will be saved as it is. but with PSE11 this is pain, you have to do adjustment and save it on desktop, then in iphoto you have to import the image from desktop, I hope you get me now
thanks again and any other suggestions if possible

Can i see iPhoto 9 saved photos on iphoto 11 ?

I have a lot of photos on my desktop and my macbook. Because I know that I need to upgrade to Lion (from Snow Leopard) because i iCloud, and all, I backed up all my photos to an external hard drive (actually decided to back up to two separate hard drives (one for the macbook photos and one of the desktop (I take a lot of photos, they mean a lot to me and I don't want to lose them...) Anyway, back to the question.....
I now have the photos backed up - I have saved both iphoto libraries which are iphoto 9. When I upgrade to iphoto 11 will I still be able to see these photos ? Or should I keep iphoto 9 on one of my devices ?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

Yes, when you upgrade to iPhoto 11 the libraries will be upgraded to the iPhoto 11 format.
Thereafter, you won't be able to use those Libraries with iPhoto 09, so there's no point in keeping that.

Saving photos from iphoto version 8

Hi. I am new to this, so sorry if I am asking a stupid question. I am using iphoto version 8, and have transferred about 400 photos onto this. I am worried about losing all my pictures if I lose my mac (or if it gets stolen) - is there a way to save all the pictures somewhere else just in case? Do I need to copy them onto a disc or is there a better way? I would prefer not to copy all the pictures to a public website. Thanks so much for your help.

S & B
This is a very sensible question.
You have the same back up options for your photos as you have for any data on your Mac and you should use them!
You can burn your Library to CD or DVD using the Share -> Burn Command in iPhoto. Personally, I do this about twice a year and keep those disks across town in a relatives home.
You can back up your files to an External Hard Disk
You can upload your files to storage on the Internet: Use .Mac or any of the similar services such as Amazon's S3. These are not photo viewing sites, just file storage.
And, you can also use sites like Flickr for storage too - the pics do not ahve to be available to the public, but can be restricted to you and people you invite.

Saving photos in iPhoto

If I retouch a photo or in some way modify it how do I save it? I can't find a "save as" command. If I save it does the original as well as the modified version. Does it just automatically save modified versions without overwriting the original?

Hi Peter,
Thanks

How do I stop duplicates of saved photos from being imported into iPhoto?

When I sych to iPhoto, I get duplicates of art work that I have in "Saved Photos". iPhoto doesn't screen out art work that I have created and added before making a lot of work to delete all the duplicates.

Photos you take on your iPhone are normally displayed in the Last 12 Months section of iPhoto. If you are using iPhoto to archive photos copy the photos from there to other albums in iPhoto instead of syncing them.

Saved Photos on iPad won't sync to iPhoto

I have something like 10,000 photos in the 'Saved Photos' section on my iPad (1st gen, 5.0.1). When I connect the iPad to my computer iTunes will open and sync, but when I open iPhoto the iPad does not show up as a device and I can't sync the saved photos. I'm not sure if Photo Stream would work, because I'm not sure the photos are saved in Photo Stream (there are just so many).

Read this for information on how to import photos to the Mac. It is really and easy process, but you can only import the photos in the camera roll - the photos that you took with the iPad or saved from emails and websites.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT408
Photos synced to the iPad do not sync back to the computer. They are already on the computer, so there is no reason to sync them back. You can import photos from the camera roll into iPhoto, but not synced photos.
When you create albums in the Photos app on the iPad, the albums are for local organization of the photos only. They do not contain copies of the actual photos either but merely pointers to those photos so that the photos will "appear" in those albums. Consequently there is no photo or any album to import back to the Mac.
If you created the albums in iPhoto on the Mac, reorganize them in albums that you want to send to a website for printing.

I accidentally combined all of my photos on iphoto to be one event. i have it the way i want it saved on my external harddrive from time machine. how do i make my computer go back to that

Open Time Machine to the date that you know the iPhoto Library is in the format you want and select and Restore it.

IPad saved photos do not appear in iPhoto*

I have about 20 photos (screenshots) saved in my iPad photo album but when I open image capture or iPhoto they both say that there are no photos available for import. How do I transfer these images over? I also have photo sync on in my iPad settings but its not syncing to my desktop.
I am using a first generation iPad.

It is very easy to do when it works - I have done it quite a few times.
and @Demo, I do have iPad clicked in both iPhoto and Image Capture. Both say I have no photos.
The usual route that I take when these things happen is to quit both apps on the Mac, reboot the Mac, restart the iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
See if that helps at all.
If you do have to email the photos - you can do it in 4 emails - but I realize that you want to resolve this issue and I don't blame you!

Want to re-name photos in iphoto. info not saved

I am trying to date all the photos in iPhoto. I just did about 300 and none of the info is saved. What am I doing wrong?

When you change the title underneath the thumbnail in iPhoto all you're changing is the title and not the file name. To change the file name you need to export the photo out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with the option to use the Title as the new file name selected.

Saving Elements 9 Edited photos to IPhoto 11

I am fairly new to using IPhoto. Elements is old hat to me. When I edit a photo in Elements and save it to IPhoto it seems to get lost. I shoot in RAW, cntrl click and say open in external editor (Elements 9) and do my editing. Then I do a "save as" and change the extension to jpg or psd and save it with the same name or give the file a new name with a jpg extension and save it to the same place indicated in the "save as" dialog box. I cannot locate the saved files in IPhoto in the same album as it came from. Color me frustrated as ****!!

This may be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's Advanced Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full sizes
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS/PSE without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in iPhoto". That will let you either edit in iPhoto using the Edit button or Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in iPhoto" or in PS/PSE by Control-clicking on the thumbnail and selecting "Edit in External Editor" in the Contextual menu.
Click to view full size
This way you get the best of both worlds.
