Transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my ipad air

I am trying to get my 1700 photos from my imac (yosemite 10.10.2) ot my ipad air. I am going through itunes, but am not seeing the items than a former thread suggested. I cannot get to iphoto on my mac from itumes. What am I doing wrong?

If you have iCloud Photo Library (beta) on, you use that, not iTunes, to transfer photos. See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
iPhoto is not compatible with iCloud Photo Library (beta) and will soon be replaced by a new app "Photos" that is compatible. In the meantime if you want to continue to use iCloud Photo Library (beta) from your Mac there are instructions in  the above link.

  • How can I transfer photos from iPhoto on an iMac to iPhoto on a macbook

    How can I transfer my photos from iphoto on an imac to iphoto on a macbook, both have same operating software.

    Depends on what exactly you want to do and on what version of iphoto you have on each
    To move selected events from one to the other pruchase iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use it to move the photos or events
    To move the entire iPhoto library
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • HT1535 how do i transfer photos from iphoto on my imac to my new ipad

    I have read and reread the ipad manual and under importing photos and videos -  this is all it says,
    "To transfer the photos to your computer, connect iPad to your computer and import the images with a photo application such as iPhoto or Adobe Elements."
    There are no explicite instructions on how to get the photos from iPhoto onto my iPad.  There is nothing in iPhoto either.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How to transfer photos from iphoto 09 on iMac to iphoto on Mac Book Pro

    This is my first posting as I have tried unsuccessfully to find an answer to my query in the many answers to questions already posed.
    I have an iMac and recently my girlfriend bought a Mac Book Pro. Whilst I have managed to transfer my music library to her Mac Book Pro using the new sharing facility in the latest version of iTunes, I have been unable to transfer the photos which I have on my Mac in iphoto 09.
    Any help, advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance.
    Best regards
    EDIT: Just realised that I have posted this in iPhoto 08 instead of iPhoto 09 - I hope someone can still help!

    Many thanks for your reply Terence
    I understand what you mean, but would you be so kind as to explain how I should connect the machines. At first, I thought that some form of double ended USB may do it, but when I spoke to someone at work, they suggested a cross over ethernet cable.
    Your advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you once again

  • Why can't I drag and drop photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my iPad?

    I have thousands of photos on my iMac and often want to copy a few dozen to my iPad to bring to my relatives. It seems that I should be able to create an album on my iMac and drag it to my iPad but I can't. Didn't Apple get where it is by making things simple like drag and drop?  Why is it like a state secret to get some photos moved over? I'd really like to know the reason. I don't want a convoluted work-around. This isn't Windows!
    Come on Apple, give us simplicity or at least a USB port to copy stuff!

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I was a bit steamed. I know how to sync photos but object to having to treat my photos on the iPad in such an unintuitive way. Maybe I'm alone ( but I doubt it ) but I have photos on my iPad and iPhone for several different purposes. I keep photos of things I want to paint, photos of friends and relatives, photos of items I saw that I may want to buy and snapped the ISBN code. Photos of book list of authors I like that I want to read so if I see one in a used book store I remember which ones I haven't read yet. I don't think this is unreasonable or even something that only I want. I don't want to delete all of this every time I want to add another photo. I know I can back it up to my iMac and restore it plus the new photo later but this is not what I expect or want from Apple. I have had Apple products since the Apple II and Macs since March 1984 and it was because Apple always seemed to try and figure what the user wanted first and foremost but this seems to have changed. I would prefer most iPhoto and iTunes app versions from ten years ago to those coming out now because they valued intuitive interface over exotic features. Apple is the product 'for the rest of us' but not anymore it seems.
    Maybe there are some good reasons why Apple is doing it, security, contracts, etc but I'd like to know. Maybe some of the users know and will give straight answers.
    Thanks, for the info though.

  • Transfer photos from iphoto to Aperture with snow leopard, how?

    hi all
    how can i transfer photos from iphoto (in power book G5) To Aperture ( in MacBook Pro 17" with snow leopard), with same albums arrangement???? thanks

    1- the size of iphoto library is 6GB, but in aperture its 11GB, y?
    I think it's because you have the original images plus copies with any adjustments you made in iPhoto. It could also have to do with Aperture generating Previews.
    2- now to copy the another iphoto library from the second old machine, i will replace its library with the iphoto library of new machine then copy it in aperture library, and after that i can delete the iphoto library to save hard space. is that correct? thanks
    Just make sure you keep the copies on the old machines until you've backed up your new Aperture Library and made sure that everything is there. IMPORTANT: make sure that you chose to copy the images into your Aperture Library instead of keeping them in their current location. If you left them in the iPhoto Library and you delete that library, you delete your images!
