Transfer photos from iPhoto (iOS) to iPhoto Mac, keeping original photo when edited?

I've been on a vacation and used iPhoto on my iPad Mini to save and edit a few pics on the go. I want to transfer these photos to my Mac (iPhoto), but I also wan to keep the original photo for the edited ones. This is very easy for iOS devices as you can transfer them wirelessly between the devices, but I haven't found a similar way between my iOS device and the Mac. I can transfer the pictures either via iTunes or the camera roll, but both these ways only transfers the edited picture, not the original. Any one knows?

Use iOS 6.0.1 on your device and a computer running Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.x) and the latest version of iPhoto.
With iCloud and PhotoStream turned on, photos shared to the Camera Roll or taken with the device are copied to your PhotoStream. When you start iPhoto on your Mac you'll see a PhotoStream selection in the left column your Camera Roll Photos will be there. Copy them to the albums you want to store them in or export them to other folders on your computer for back up.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Can't import photos from finepix A345 to iPhoto or Finepix viewer mac ibook

    I had previously imported photos from my fuji finepix A345 camera to iPhoto on my macBookPro 10.4.9. Now I am trying to import new images from the same camera and iPhoto displays a message "no photos to import". I have installed Finepix viewer but it also shows no images to import. I have tried creating a new library on a second non admin account and still iPhoto says "no images to import". I was able to successfully import the same images to my thinkpad T41.
    Please help me find a way to import photos from finpix A345 to my mac ibook pro. Note there are no movies in the photos I am trying to import. Thanks.

    Are you sure there are images on the card you're importing from? (asking that just in case you chose to 'delete after download' with another computer).
    Also, have you perhaps formatted the camera drive/card via another computer instead of from the camera itself?
    If your MBP can read the card so can your Macbook. You might want to open 'Image Capture', then go to Preferences and make sure you have an application selected to 'launch' when a camera is connected.

  • If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    If i import photos from my ipad to iphoto for mac, will deleting them from my ipad also remove them from my mac?

    No. They will remain on the Mac. That's one of the reasons why it's a good idea to import your treasured photos. If something happens to the iPad, you still have your photos.

  • How do I transfer photos from my iPhone to iPhoto?

    I have a MAC desktop and have always transfered my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto with no problem. After several weeks of not transfering photos, I sat down to do so today. However, iPhoto does not show my iPhone in the "devices" menu as it usually did. I waited for quite some time assuming maybe I had too many pictures ... but it never showed up. I disconnected and tried two more times, each time with no success. I have not changed any of my settings and my phone was unlocked prior to being connected to the desktop. Any other suggestions?

    Did you try to delete the photo cache? iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
    Does your phone show up in iTunes? If yes, try to start iTunes first, after the phone is recognized close it again, then launch iPhoto and see if it is recognized.

    You may have to research any newer possibilities in trouble-
    shooting or resolving issues by use of iPhoto Support page.
    Since I don't use iPhoto as a primary editor or storage, the
    details on the topic aren't so good. I prefer ToyViewer editor.

    Hopefully the error is easily corrected.

  • After loading my photos from my iPhone to my mac iPhotos it prompts me to delete photos from my iPhone.  When I agree to this my photos never delete.  my iPhone is out of storage due to I can't delete photos.  What am I doing wrong?

    After loading my photos from my iphone to my mac iphoto it gives me the option to delete photos on my phone.  When I click to delete the photos do not delete from my phone.  I am out of storage due to I can not delete photos from my iphone.

    That problem is probably with your iPhone and not with iPhoto.
    But try to download again to your Mac, this time use "Image Capture" instead of iPhoto.
    Launch Image Capture from your applications folder.
    Connect your phone to a USB port.
    Select all the photos in your camera roll  to be deleted.
    Then press the "delete" key.
    If there are photos on your iPhone that have been synced with iTunes, they can only be deleted by syncing again and deselecting the albums:

    If even Image Capture cannot wipe your Camera Roll, you need to trouble shoot your iPhone. Try the three R's, reset, restart, restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

  • When uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?

    when uploading my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto on my mac, is there a way to keep them in the albums I already have them in on my phone?

    No.  All imports go into a new Event.  How many new events are created is determined by what you set in iPhoto's General preference pane in regards to how Events are autosplit during import:

  • HT4061 My iphone screen if frozen and grey after I tried to import photos from my phone to my mac in iPhoto.

    My iphone screen has been frozen for about 30 minutes on a grey sceen with a thin white line throught it. I tried to import photos from my phone to my mac. It was working for a while, then it quit and my computer said thre was a error. I looked at my phone and it was frozen. I can't turn it off and my screen does not dim, its just stuck on the grey. I also can'tfind the serial number either. I have imported photos in the past and it has worked. I just don't know what to do or how to fix it .

    Hi ginger1616,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive, try resetting it using this method:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Hello, I recently uploaded about 250 photos from my phone onto iPhoto. However, when I go to view them, they have already been auto-cropped. It seems I must click "Edit," and then "Crop," and then expand the box to the fullest size. Any suggestions?

    @SuperMan
    I noticed this as well when navigating through the photo gallery on my iPhone. 
    If you (and he) are asking about iPhone operation then you are in the wrong place - this is the iPhoto for Mac forum - there are forums for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as iPhoto for IOS -
    I do not see any cropping in iPhoto on the Mac for either camera or iPhone photos (I use PhotoStream with auto import to get my iPhone photos to iPhoto on my Mac) - and given the way iPhoto works it is really not possible to have auto-cropping - the only thing that I see even close to that is that when you select edit ==> drop the default crop is slightly smaller than the photo - but unless you accept that nothing is changed and the photo is exactly as imported

    Greetings Yushk,
    It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.

  • When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

    When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

    If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
    all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library.  Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
    If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto):  How to Access Files in iPhoto.  Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.
