Transferring photos from iPhoto to iPhone

I know the transfer is made through iTunes but every time I transfer a group of pictures to Photo on my iPhone it overrides the ohotos already there. How do keep adding more?

Good question for the iPhone forum or iTunes forum -

I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

Error transfer photos from iPhoto to iphone 4.

i have problem sync all my photos from iPhoto to iPhone 4, iPhone is 4.2.1, iTune is 10.2.2., iPhoto'09 8.1.2
Do i need to upgrade to iPhone 4.3.3 or iPhoto '11 for solving this issue? But it doesn't make sense. Please help!

I don't know if you solved this already or what, but I had a similar problem with my iPhone4 - no joy recognizing the photo folder in iPhoto or anywhere else, but no problems with iTunes. Same problem in both Windows and OSX. I gave up trying to get iPhoto, photo capture to work and went looking on the AppStore for an alternative.
Downloaded Photo Transfer,
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app/id365152940?mt=8
this solved all my problems immediately. Ridiculously annoying that the default application doesn't work anymore and that Apple have made it sooo difficult to get to our data, and doubly annoying that the Photo Transfer app isn't free - but it seriously works like a charm.

Import photos from iPhoto to iPhone

How does one import photos from iPhoto to iPhone?
I have looked on the user guide and have found no answer.
Thanks!

Question: How do you just have the Photo albums on the Iphone and not the Photo Library? Or just have the photo library without the photo albums? I have 146 photos in the library and the folders (two with 87 in one and 59 in the other) That are also in the library. It seems like having duplicates will take up space that I don't want to take up.

Sync Photos from Iphoto to Iphone 3GS

Hello I'll really appreciate your help:
When I try to sync mi iphone, if i have the sync photos from iphoto feature activated in itunes it shows, at the end of the sync the error message (The sync could not be completed because an unknown error -50) and the photos doesn't appear in the iphone, even when the files have been transferred. I've tried rebooting and even restoring the iphone and the problem persists, I was using this feature without any problems and it begin to happen a few days ago without any particular reason.
Thank you!!!

I just saw this error -50 on my old click-wheel ipod tonight.
To fix it. I plugged in the ipod. On the ipod setting tabs, click on Photos.
Change it so no photos are synced.
Then change it back and browse to a new photo folder.
Also you can try using Windows explorer to delete the sub-folder

Update on transferring photos from Droid to iPhone

I'd like to share some information on transferring photos from an old Droid to iPhone 5, a problem I've wrestled with for the last few days. Even though I got some good tips, and have learned that I'm not the only person with this particular problem, I still had no success making the transfer. In desperation (thinking I'd get no help) I called 1-800-734-5870, the Motorola help line. Was bumped up to "level 2" of problem-solving and was told that a possible solution might be to use a USB connector cord specifically made for Motorola phones (I'm not sure the one I've been using is that type). The rep is sending me a courtesy cord to use to see if that will make a difference -- if no, t I'm supposed to call Motorola back. My point is that the Motorola people were exceptionally nice, especially considering I'll no longer be using their phone. I did not get this type of support from the Apple help line. Will send an update if this simple "cord fix" works!

Thanks for the prompt reply, Roaminggnome. I have to say, though, that the answer, while not unexpected, is disappointing. The iPhone is, like the iPad, a data storage device as well as a cellular phone. One can store and retrieve music, contacts, documents, presentations in Keynote, videos, podcasts, and a host of things on it. And one can also store photos, which can be transferred from a digital camera or media card via a computer or iCloud. So why, one has to wonder, would Apple not provide an alternative, and more direct, way to upload pictures from a camera without requiring the intermediary of a computer, as it does with the iPad? But I guess that's what we're stuck with. Puzzling, for a company as innovative as Apple. Surely they know that folks are asking these questions.

Importing photos from iphoto to iphone

I have the 'old' version of the iphone and cannot transfer photos from iphoto to the iphone. When i click on the photos tab for the iphone in itunes, the albums and everything except "sync photos from" at the very top are grayed out. Then my only option is to import everything from iphoto onto the iphone, which i do not want to do.
So -- how do I import only certain folders from iphoto onto the phone? How do i get the options below to not be grayed out?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

newuser1969,
Did you try to rebuild the photo library?
You can find out if the issue is caused by the iPhoto library by testing with an alternate library. Just launch iPhoto while holding Option as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229 Then import a few photos and open iTunes.
If the issue only happens with your main library, it probably needs to be rebuilt using the article I linked in my first response.
If iTunes does not see the alternate iPhoto library, you may want to uninstall and reinstall iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224

Importing photos from iPhoto into iPhone

I know you can import from iphone to iphoto...
is there a way to import from iphoto to iphone?

Yes connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab check the sync box and select from the menu next to Sync photos from: "iPhoto" instead of "choose folder"

Limitation Importing Photos from Iphoto to Iphone

I have over 28,000 photos on an external drive and want to import just selected photos, individual from there to my Iphone. In Itunes, I have the option to Sync Photo from Iphoto, or I can choose to sync from a specific folder.
If I pick Iphoto, I then have the option to pick all photos and albums (28,582 photos), a selection of recent events (1,3,5,10,or 20 most recent) or selected albums. Selected albums only gives me 3 choices Last Import, Last 12 Months or another folder called "test". None of these options allows me to pick an event or individual photo from say 4 years ago as an example.
If I choose the option to sync from a specific folder, I am also unable to navigate to a particular event other than folders that have been exported from Iphoto into the pictures folder. If I try to navaigate to applications and pick Iphoto, its grayed out and I cannot select it.
Please tell me that I do not have to export each specific picture one by one just to get them onto my Iphone???

Have you created any albums in iPhoto? if so, you should see them in the list along with "Last 12 Months" and "Last Import"; if not, when you do create them you'll see them. Create an album called "iPhone" (or whatever else you want to call it), put the pictures you want on your iPhone into that folder and sync it.

Cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to iPhone

I cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. When I select the box to "Sync Photos from iPhoto," it displays "0 photos" regardless of what other settings I try (all photos, selected albums, etc.). Attempting to sync from folders other than iPhoto works fine.
I have tried removing the iPod Photo Cache. (First syncing the iPhone with no photos selected, then removing the phone, closing iTunes and iPhoto, trashing the cache, emptying the trash, rebooting the iMac, restarting the phone, reattaching the phone, and trying to sync again.)
I've tried searching the internet for a solution, but have only found threads going off in multiple directions with no clear advice.
iMac running OS X 10.9.1
iPhoto 9.5.1
iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4

Additional info: I tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and even rebuilding the database in iPhoto. Rebuilding eliminated all ordering in my albums. Since this seemed to be only messing things up further, I then tried restoring my entire iPhoto Library from a previous version in Time Machine (when synching photos still worked). However, the problem persists. I am still unable to sync any photos from iTunes to my phone.

Problem transferring photos from Iphoto to my iPad 2

Hi, I tried to synchronize my photos from iPhoto in my iMac to my iPad 2 using iTunes and got the following alert message: " IPad from Rene could not be synchronized. Unable to find required file."
Can somebody give me some advise to solve this issue?
I restored it to factory and continue having the same message.
Best Regards
Rene

The problem is probably on your iMac not your iPad.
Here are some instructions on how to fix:
1) Close iphoto and itunes
2) Find the iphoto library in finder, most probably located in your users folder under pictures.
3) Control click on iphoto library (might be named diferently) and choose show package contents
4) Delete the folder caches and ipod photo cache.
5) Restart iphoto
6) Restart itunes
if itunes asks that the library is linked with another ipod, say yes to the warning to re sync with your ipod/iphone

Trouble getting photos from iphoto to iPhone

A few months back I had updated my iphone to 4.3.2 (somewhere around there) and it began transferring only a very small subset of the photos from photo to my phone. After the sync, it would say something to the effect of "Image "DSC_00112" could not be transfered to the iPhone". However, when I opened open photos on the iphone, only about 450 photos of my 3100 photo library were on the phone. I read some details in the past that there were others with this problem but that upgrading solved the problem. Today I upgraded to iOS 5 hoping the problem would resolve. Now when I choose to sync all photos, it doesn't even give me a dialogue box anymore, but still only a small subset of the photos in my photo library cross over to my iphone.... I don't really know why the phone is not allowing most of my photos to transfer, and I have no notion of how to fix it. Have tried multiple fixes, including manually selecting albums to transfer, repairing iphoto permissions, etc. Any help or knowledge on the subject would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks,
Dane

Try clearing your iPhoto cache on your Mac.

Feedback of photos from IPhoto into IPhone

I have my IPhone connected to ICloud and to IPhoto on my Mac. I've been organizing photos in my IPhoto so now I'm getting a multiples back into my IPhone - even photos that I never took in the first place. What can I do to stop this?

If you're using My Photo Stream to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac AND from your Mac to your iPhone as well as using iPhoto with the iPhone connected to the Mac you're bound to get duplcates on the Mac and iPhone.
In iPhoto on your Mac be sure this checkbox is NOT checked in iPhoto's iCloud preference pane:
The settings above will download and import all photos taken by the iPhone into your iPhoto Library on the Mac. The phone must be connected to WiFi for the transfer to take place.
