To iphoto, can anyone help as I'm having no luck??

Now that I have Iphoto working, I have many photos save in downloads that I would like to move to Iphoto, can anyone help as I'm having no luck??

What is stopping you from dragging the photos to the iPhoto app?  Are you getting any error messages?  What do they say?
Which version of iPhoto are you using?
Please detail ALL you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the been there done that scenarios.

  • Newbie to iPhoto - Can anyone help with a few questions?

    Hi everyone,
    I have had iPhoto since December and I love it. I have been able to naviagate around it pretty well and love the fact I can put names to faces. I own a childcare business so this helps me individualise each child's photo's which I put on a thumb drive each week.
    The things that I am having problems with are...
    1. When I am uploading photo's from my SD card do they go directly into Events?
    2. Why do they have event and albums? Is this to create just a few photo's from each event etc.? I am trying not to have double ups as when dealing with so many individual kids it can be confusing.
    3. I noticed in the albums there is
    - Photo Stream
    - Last Import
    - Photo's
    If I delete these albums will these photo's be deleted from my events?
    4. I also have photo's on FB which appear to be showing in my albums below (facebookTraceyBrock)
    if I delete any of these do they delete photo's from my facebook?
    5. Why is there events and albums? don't they both do the same thing? or as a guess is it just because you can import only the photo's you want to a specific album.
    Any help on the best way to organise photo's would be so very much appreciated!
    Thankyou in advance
    Tracey

    1. When I am uploading photo's from my SD card do they go directly into Events?
    Yes.
    2. Why do they have event and albums? Is this to create just a few photo's from each event etc.? I am trying not to have double ups as when dealing with so many individual kids it can be confusing.
    Basic Concept: Every Photo is in the Library. Events are a view of the Library. Delete a photo from an Event and you delete from iPhoto
    More opportunities for organising. Events are handy, but very limited: Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken. You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
    Events also contain the Actual photos. So if you have a photo in more than one Event you are using more disk space than you need.
    Albums contain pointers to the Photos in the Library. A Photo can be in 50 albums and use no disk space extra disk space whatever. You can mix and match in any way you like in an Album. Photos from different events, photos categorised or selected in any  way you fancy.
    I'll post a longer answer at the bottom of this, showing some of the possibilities of Albums
    I noticed in the albums there is
    - Photo Stream
    - Last Import
    - Photo's
    If I delete these albums will these photo's be deleted from my events?
    Photos is not in Albums. It's under Library, like Events. It's another view of the same material. Like different windows into the same room. Deleting Photos from Photos is removing them from the Library
    PhotoStream and Last Import are just handy shortcuts. They don't contain the photos, just pointers to them. There is no duplication here. There is no need to delete anything from here.
    I also have photo's on FB which appear to be showing in my albums below (facebookTraceyBrock)
    if I delete any of these do they delete photo's from my facebook?
    Yes. Because you're using iPhoto to manage the pics on Facebook.
    5. Why is there events and albums? don't they both do the same thing? or as a guess is it just because you can import only the photo's you want to a specific album.
    See above. Some of the possibilities of Albums, Smart Albums and so on:
    I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
    I keyword on a
    Who
    What
    Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
    Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
    So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a  typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
    File -> New Smart Album
    set it to 'All"
    title contains Seattle
    keyword is mountain
    keyword is snow
    rating is 5 stars
    Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
    New Smart Album
    Keyword is John
    Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
    Want only the best pics?
    add Rating is greater than 4 stars
    The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John  to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
    In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

  • Photos will not upload to iCloud in iPhoto can anyone help?

    I am unable to upload photos from my events to my icloud photostream. I have reset the photostream and I still show "uploading X photos" in upper right of iphoto window while in the icloud tab in iphoto.  photos will not upload. I am also unable to move pictures into icloud on any of my devices. (iphone 5 & 2nd gen ipad) will appreciate any and all help to cure my photostream problem.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    The set up is quite basic, actually extremely basic. I am just using my mac and an iPad to play notes on and using the installed synths that came with the program.
    I have 17 different tracks on this piece of music with some of them using the same noise on multiple tracks to play diffent riffs.
    If I try and open a new track with let's say for exame the standard piano. Try to record a part. It plays though the system but will not record even though the timing no is red.
    I can send you a screen shot later today if needed. My other optioni think is to copy all of the parts into a new project and start again.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Terrance Devlin answered a question about iPhoto (4-2012) re:copying iPhoto Library to an ExHD, and losing all the albums. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button. Can anyone help?

    I tried to move my images (over 25,000) to an External Hard drive to open up some memory, hoping to make my computer run faster. It took three hours to move the images and I see them all in the mac's menus. However when I try to open them with iPhoto now, none appeared. and when I tried to import them back to the main HD they come in to iPhoto just fine, but not with the albums nor any of the massive organization i'd created in the original. this represents years of images, and I can't imagine that I'd have to recopy them into folders/albums again.
    Terrance Devlin answered a similar question back in April of last year. He said to make sure the ExHD is formatted to MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and to move the library to the ExHD and then open iPhoto with the option button and select "Choose Library" from the resulting menu.
    Command "I" tells me that the new drive is formatted correctly. I can't locate the "Choose Library" when I open iPhoto with the opt button.
    First, I wondered if the application needs to be on the same drive as the Library. I sure would like to know if I can find out how to restore all the folders I had them in. Terrance's advice helped the user that had asked the question.

    Here are Apple's instructions:
    If you are using iPhoto ’06 or earlier, you will need to follow these steps to tell iPhoto where the Library is now located:
    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard and open iPhoto. Keep the Option key held down until you are prompted to create or choose an iPhoto Library.
    Click Choose Library.
    Locate and select the iPhoto Library in its new location.
    (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 )
    Below (in the link below) is what you should see when holding down the option key and opening iPhoto. Keep holding down the option key until this dialogue comes up. You want to select the Choose Library button.

  • I can't download iPhoto 9.5.1 from App Store. Can anyone help?

    After I made the up grade Montain Lion to Mavericks I had many problems, I have a macbook pro early 2011, and it was impossible to use.
    So yesterday I decided to do a clean install of OS X 10.9 system and reinstall my personal files and programs from the App Store.
    But when you try to install the latest verssão of iPhoto iPhoto 9.5.1, when the download is approximately 10.3 MG of 1.15 GB it starts to reboot again to appear the following messages ...
    "iPhoto failed to download
    Use the Purchases page to try again.
    An error has occurred during dowload"
    I rebooted the system, I deleted the download and started again, I contacted apple support, already tried by the flaps of purchase and also by safari.
    Can anyone help?
    Nothing worked so far.

    Could be a few things....
    Make a new user account (at least for testing purposes), and try to pull the install through there...

    You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

    Can anyone help me.  I have iPhoto 9.2 and  Mac OS X 10.7.2.

    I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem.  I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
    Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
    On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin".  Does this help with an answer?
