Some of the photos from iPhoto 5 did not transfer to iPhoto 08. Why?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.5.8 and tried to transfer my photos which were on iPhoto 5 to iPhoto 08. Several of them did not show up. Why and how can I fix this problem? Thanks for your help.

OK, here's the long explanation. I backed up up using "Backup" software from OS 10.4.11 to a DVD, also did a backup to my iDisk using the same backup software.
Have you tried loading this backup to your new system?
I also have another Mac using the old OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 5, which I used the backup DVD on and was able to transfer all the photos into it.
Will iPhoto successfully open that iPhoto library?
Then I used a SanDisk USB Flash Drive to copy the iPhoto file to the other computer with OS 10.5.8 and iPhoto 08 on it.
The best way is to connect the two systems together using a network or Firewire target mode and then drag the working iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system
Many of the photos did not transfer.
How do you know? what do you see?
Is that enough info?
certainly is better
What else can I tell you?
See above

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

HT201302 I recently purchased the new iPad Air 2. The pictures from the first iPad air did not transfer. How do I get them to transfer?

I Re cry bought an iPad Air 2 and the pictures from my original iPad air did not transfer. How do I get the pictures to transfer?

Restore the backup of the old iPad to the new one. That should transfer camera roll photos. If it didn't and you still have the old iPad, back it up to your computer using iTunes and restore that backup to the new iPad.

Delete photos from camera option not appearing in iPhoto

when transfering pictures from my CyberShot camera to iPhoto, I am no longer asked to delete photos from camera. can this be corrected?

It is not recommended to have iPhoto delete the images on the card. The safest way is to delete the images on the card directly in the camera, after making sure that they have been imported correctly and making a backup of the card.
But if the option to delete the images is not available, there may be something wrong with your preferences - see LarryHN's post here:

TS3989 My photos from iphone did not upload to photostream

I have installed icloud on my pc with windows vista. I want the icloud to transfer photos from my iphone 4s to pc. The icloud installation seems to have worked but the file photostream in my pictures on my pc has not uploaded any photos. The photostream on my iphone is on? I do not know how to upload the photos, they do not seem to load automatically, even though the setting on my iphone says it will push them automatically. any help would be appreciated.

Photostream only uploads the photos taken (or imported to the device) AFTER you enable Photostream. Photos from prior to Photostream being turned on will not upload. You could just take screenshots of the older photos to create 'new' images, or transfer your photos to your computer manually.

.mov files did not transfer with iphoto pics

I recently used my macbook on a long trip and used it to capture the many pictures and videos I took with my digital camera. Once back, I copied (or so I thought) the contents from the macbook to my imac. However, though all the pictures (jpgs) transferred, the movie files did not. However, the thumbnails do show up on the imac but don't actually contain the movie (shows 00:00 as duration).
I've verified that the movies still exist within the data folder (pictures/iphoto library/data) but unable to move these over back into iphoto on my imac so as to sync back up with the thumbnails. Please help.
thanks,
~Dennis

TD...
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the only files that show up when I do file export..ORiginal are the existing pics in iPhoto....not the ones I had transferred before. The movie files do not show up....however, they are still somewhere in the computer as I can run spotlight and find them (it points to the Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data area.
Again, when I originally copied over the files from laptop to desktop, the thumbnails can be seen ion the desktop within iphoto however, the actual movie content is not there.

I transfered my profile to a new computer per instructions on this site but the Idenity Safe passwords did not transfer; please advise.

Transferring from Windows XP to Windows 7 and using Firefox 3.6.24 on both computers. Everything in the old profile transferred except the Idenity Safe login info.

Profile doesnot save your identity safe password, there are different way to backup identity safe

When i upgraded to 4.0 I lost norton's sign in bar for identity safe. It was on the previous release but did not transfer with the download. How do I get it back on my home page.

I had identity safe log in tool bar on my previous release of fire fox. It was extremely convenient for keeping and auto filling my many user names and passwords when I choose to log into it. How do I get it back without having to remove your 4.0 and going back to the previous release?

I just bought an iPad mini. Some of the photos from my iPhone downloaded to my new device but not all. Why?

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, giving your devices enough time to download them. When you enabled photo stream on your iPad mini, you only downloaded photos from the last 30 days, as older photos are no longer in iCloud. To stream older photos to your iPad, add them to a shared stream on your phone (http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99). Then you can save them to the camera roll on your iPad mini and delete the shared stream.

Why are some of the photos that I have previously successfully synched to my iPhone, no longer synching?

I have a folder in iPhoto specifically for photos that I want to sync to my iPhone. This has worked for years and I've never had an issue. Suddenly, some of the photos from this folder are no longer synching, and I receive an error message during synching that reads: "Some of your photos, including the photo “DSC_0022.JPG”, were not copied to the iPhone “My iPhone 3GS” because they cannot be displayed on your iPhone." The same exact thing has started happening when we sync my husband's iPhone 4. These same photos were previously successfully synched to our iPhones, so....what gives? As an experiement, I dragged one of the photos to the desktop, deleted the photo from within iPhoto, then dragged it back into iPhoto. Then, I re-synched. This worked. But, do I now need to do this with every one of these un-synched photos? Does anyone know what's going on here? Very, very weird. It appears to be happening after the most recent iPhone update, I think. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

Upgraded from PE9 to PE12: ratings did not transfer on organizer

Upgraded from PE9 to PE12 and the ratings and tags did not transfer to the organizer - or maybe they are there, but I do not know how find.
I also upgraded from Vista to Microsoft 7. Do I need to uninstall the Vista version and reinstall, or is there a different solution?

When you installed PSE12 and opened the organizer, you should have been asked to convert your catalog. That would have created a new catalog with the contents of your old catalog; that old catalog being still available to PSE9. If, instead of letting the conversion automatically take place, you have simply imported your pictures into the new empty PSE12, the tags and captions are not recovered (unless you specifically 'wrote metadata to files' in the PSE9 organizer).
Now, use the menu file/catalog (Ctrl Maj C) and click on the 'convert' button. Check the option to show already converted catalogs. You should see your PSE9 catalog and start the conversion.

How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

I just had this problem as well and spent quite a bit of time reviewing all of the suggestions/ideas/comments, and since I am not that tech-savy I remembered this "suggestion" from the UK show The "IT Crowd" which was "Have you tried turning it off and on again??" (both devices)

IPhoto on Mac not showing photostream. My photos from iPhone were not on my Mac, I tried to import using cable. Now the photos show in iCloud only. It seems frozen. On trying to close iPhoto down got message that photos being imported. 6 hours ago

I have IMac on Yosemeite, 500GB. IPhone 5 on 8.2. My photos, from iPhone, had not appeared via photo stream on my Mac. I had been away from a while But expected the photos to appear on the Mac. There were 1000 in Photostream and 1200 in Camera Roll. I used a cable to import the Camera Roll, it stopped importing after 1000 photos. The photos, though, are in iCloud and I don't know how to access them to put them to Events. There are 3 recent Photostream events showing up in IPhoto withOut any photos. I tried to import to Library but was directed to Finder and no access to iPhoto. I tried to shut down iPhoto but got a message telling me photos were being imported. That's 6 hours ago and I'm still getting the same message. I don't know what to do. I'm not an expert, just a user.

HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

I am not able to mail the photos from iPhoto. Its always saying that the email address it's not recognized. Another situation is that when I try to add my me account in the preferences account, doesn't recognize my @me password. Tks for any help! :-)

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?
