TS4253 iPhone 6 cannot import edited photos onto Macbook

I have iOS 8 as well as the new Yosemite and latest iPhoto, as the Apple support recommends. However, I can still only import originals into iPhoto from my iPhone. It's maddening. What should I do?

Hi MusicLiz,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when your edited pictures revert back to originals after importing them to your computer. This can happen if your photo-management application cannot read XMP format. The following article describes the situation and names several applications that support XMP format. 
iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

  • Cannot import all photos onto PC

    When I connect my phone to my laptop it is not showing all the photos on my phone to allow me to import them all.
    I have approx. 2000 photos on my phone, but when I connect and browse my phone on my PC I can only see approximately 50 photos.
    I can see the following iPhone>DCIM>Foldername xxxxxx and that is all?
    Why can't I see more?
    Please help - they have all my baby photos!

    Did you follow the steps mentioned in this article to import the photos inside the camera roll? Photos that have not been taken with the phone or located inside the camera roll can't be imported.

  • I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

    yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
    EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

  • HT4623 I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

    I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

    According to the iTunes download page, it still supports Windows XP.
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    (Emphasis added)
    If your XP computer was updated, then it should work. Again, the links I posted earlier contain the current USB drivers for the iPhone and Windows.

  • How to import edited photos from iphone to Windows-based laptop without losing XMP edits

    When I import photos from iphone into Lightshop all edits are lost. how do I prevent that?
    thanks
    Robert

    You fail to understand the question. "How can I import edited photos from iPhone 5S to PC (Windows 7)?" The key is that the photos taken on my iPhone have been edited on the iPhone. The original photo exists in "Photo Stream," and the edited photo exists in "Camera Roll."
    When I import (synch, transfer, any synonym you prefer is fine with me) photos, they are written to two areas available on my PC:
    Photostream images are at
       Computer\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream\
    and Camera Roll (edited phots) are at
       C:\Users\[my name]\Pictures\[synch-date]\
    The images shown in "C:\Users\[my name]\Pictures\[synch-date]\" (the Camera Roll photos) are not as they were edited, however. I suspect that the iPhone "edits" images by applying a layer that manipulates the image without actually editing the file.
    I have found so far that my best recourse is to import photos to my PC, edit them there in Photoshop (or other software), and then upload the images as I want them edited back to the iPhone. I would prefer to simply edit the pictures once on the iPhone and be able to import the edited files to my PC.

  • IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.

    Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 on MacBook Air and Iphoto '09 version 8.1.2 on iphone 5.
    Keep getting the "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" error message. Is this related to HDR photos or videos? What can I do to solve this?

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos because there was a problem downloading an image, how do I fix this?

    Hello! So I have a Sandisk class 10 memory card and whenever I try to import photos onto iPhoto from the memory card it says "IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image". I have a Macbook Air and IPhoto 9.5.1.. I've tried a lot of what other people say on other questions like this and it still won't work! I've tried using image capture, creating a new library, and creating a new user to see if it worked there. I have enough space for the photos, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help, Thanks! 

    I had that happen a couple of times because even though the camera displayed the  picture there was a problem with the way it was saved to the chip - and that caused problems with all pictures after it.
    My version of IPhoto (ILIFE09) does show where the error occurs on direct import from the camera -- on the camera deleting the first picture where the error occurred allowed import of the others.   Once it was the first picture, once in the middle.
    Problem happened when I took a second picture before the first one was 100% finished saving.

    Hi there obywon!
    I have an article for you that can help you find some other ways to import those pictures from your iPhone onto your computer.

This first article can tell you the different programs that you will want to try when attempting to import photos:

  • I am unable to download all photos to computer.  At a certain photo I get the following message:  IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.  How can I go around this  image

    I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer.  At a certain photo the following message appears:  IPhoto cannot import your photos
    because there was a problem downloading an image.  How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

    I'm having the same issue.  i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone.  problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
    any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
    and I do apologize for hijacking.
