TS1501 Trouble with transfering photos to iPhoto from iPhone 4

For OS X 10.7, if your iPhone isn't showing up in the Image Capture devices, how do you make it show up? Or what's another way to transfer your photos to your computer via your iPhone 4?

Don't know why your phone isn't recognized in image capture or iPhoto but as an alternative you could use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them.

Hook the phone to the computer, open the Computer icon and look for the iPhone folder. Copy the images. Not difficult at all. Sync your contacts with Outlook through iTunes. Not really so difficult.

Transferring photos in Iphoto from one iMac(old) to new Imac?

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
If you want to do it by hand just drag & drop the iPhoto library located in the Pictures folder of your Home folder on the old iMac to the same location on the new iMac.

Transfering photos to iPhoto from PC

I switched over to a mac a year ago, and since then I've been working on transfering over all of my pictures from my PC. I had them carefully organized on my PC with the date and name for each folder of photos. I transferred the pictures, folder by folder directly into iPhoto and changed the event name to not include the date since the date the picture was taken is automatically picked up my iPhoto. If any dates were incorrect I also manually changed the date.
A month ago I noticed that I was missing a significant number of events in iPhoto. Upon futher investigation I realized that all of my pictures prior to 2007 and also those pictures from 2008 were missing! I wasn't nervous that I completely lost them because they are still on my PC and I also have a time capsule that backs up my mac everyday. The issue is that I think I lost all of my organization. I called up Apple Support and they walked me through the steps to recover my iPhoto library and it seems to have restored all of the missing event, only the event names and dates are all messed up. This is terribly frustrating and I'm wondering why these events disappeared in the first place! I'm now wondering if I transferred the pictures into iPhoto incorrectly the first time. Are you supposed to transfer folders of pictures into the home folder under pictures and then import them into the iPhoto library? I had directly imported my photos into iPhoto so there are no individual pictures showing in my pictures folder. I'm still a novice when it comes to Macs so any help is appreciated!

If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.
Sounds like you have a damaged Database file:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Transferring photos in iphoto from a G4 to a MacBook Pro

I transferred thousands of photos in iphoto on my old G4 to a new July 2011 Macbook Pro. They all transferred but when I try to enlarge them I get an X, I can only view the photos in the smaller size. Is this fixable, any ideas?

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Transferring photos and videos from iphone onto macbook

Hi
This may sound like a completely basic issue but i can't for the life of me work out how to transfer photos and videos onto my macbook. I can easily put them on iphoto but i don't really want to put them there as i keep all my photos under the normal photos folder. When I plug it in it just opens iphoto though and doesn't give me the option to put them anywhere else. When i used to have a windows pc and plugged my phone in it asked me if i wanted to open and view files, then you would just drag them into whatever folder on your pc you wanted them in. But there doesn't seem to be a similar system on the mac. does anyone have any ideas? it's probably something very simple but i just can't work it out.

With a Mac, you can use iPhoto for importing photos from any digital camera including importing photos and videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll and if you use iPhoto for photo storage and management, which sure makes it easier than doing this the Windows way and manually managing photo storage - manually creating folders for select photos, etc., or you can use the Image Capture application for this which is located in your Applications folder.
iPhoto includes an option via iPhoto preferences to launch automatically when any digital camera is connected and the Image Capture application should include the same.

Trouble with transferring Photos from iPhone to MacBook...

Hi. I might be missing something really basic here but can someone tell me what exact steps need to be taken so that photos taken on my iPad/iPhone, will automatically appear on my MacBook. Thanks!

Assuming that you are referring to the photo stream feature of iCloud, then photo stream needs to be turned on in the iCloud settings on both devices (system preferences on the Mac). In addition to this, you need the most recent version of iPhoto, along with the iPhoto photo stream plug-in, all of which should be available via software update, assuming that you already have iPhoto 9 or better.

Transferring photos and video from iPhone 5S camera roll to windows folder, some files corrupt. Why?

I back up all my photos and videos to my external hard drive every month or so in order to free up space in my phone.
Now some folders once are transferred in windows contain some videos with jpeg extension in the file name and some photos with .avi extension too, as seen on the picture below.. Also I try to move files around in the folder and they freeze the computer resulting in a windows desktop reset. Any clues on what am I doing wrong so I can protect all my files for good?

You can't transfer the photos and Videos into iTunes. You have to import them to your computer. It is a fairly easy process. This article explains it all for you.

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"?

Importing photos into iPhoto from Hard Drive

Mike just downloaded our back up onto our newish Mac after our Macbook bravely went to it's grave in coffee. I'm now trying to import about 100 - 200G of photos into iPhoto from my hard drive. I really do not want to spend the whole time selecting and dragging these pictures. All that I read so far says that is the only way to get them off your hard drive. Some one please rescue me and tell me there is another way! Unfortunately I have already started a new photo album with pictures from my iPhone, so I can't just start a new album with these pics. Thanks for any help I can get. ~Kari A.

first off do not import an old library into iPhoto - it does not work
If you have an old library you simply drag it to the new computer and launch iPhoto while depressing the option key to get the select library window and then select it - repeat to select a different library
If you have just the photos (not =an iPhoto library) then simply drag the folder of photos to iPhoto

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

When I upload photos to iPhoto from my iPhone and then press delete from iPhone it does not delete them, how do I fix this?

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

How to delete photos and videos from iphone after transferring them to iCould?

iPhone 4S
iOS- 8.1.1
After transferring photos and videos from my iphone to icloud, how to delete photos and videos from my iPhone 4S

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
For some reason, the Camera & Scanner Wizard has started to detect the phone now. Maybe it will stop again in the future, but for now it's OK.
I do have iTunes installed, and the iPhone's still not appearing in Windows Explorer. I might reinstall if the problem recurs.
Yep, it's an official Apple cable, but it's a bit old. I got it with my iPod a few years back. Maybe i should start using that as the charger cable, and the new cable i got with my iPhone for syncing?
Thanks again for your replies.
