• iPhoto / iPhone: import guard same photos

  Hi people,

  I had a problem for a while where whenever I import photos, some of these pictures remain behind. It's always the same pictures and the next time I have import these photos are copied again (and still remain behind). Initially, it was just one or two, now I'm at 14 and it is a bit complicated.

  All other photos import and are removed as expected, but these guys stick around.

  Anyone else seeing this? If so, any advice on how to purge these pictures from my phone?

  An odd side note: almost (but not quite) all photos of post-it notes have been taken in the iPhone Evernote app.

  Thank you!

  Mike

  What version of iPhoto? The operating system?

  What do you mean by "left behind"

• photos from iPhoto import photos

  Upgrade to El Capitan, all of my photos in iPhoto doesn't import it to Photos (only a 70 random 16 000 imported photos) and I can't seem to import manually as 'iPhoto Library' is grayed out when I try to import. All photos (16,000) are saved on an external drive. How can I get the Photo to read photos iPhoto from the external drive?

  You can have more than one iPhoto library. Normally, when the photo is launched, it assumes that your main iPhoto library is on the boot volume, in your pictures folder.

  Check the size of the PhotosLibrary file created in your users > your account > pictures folder. Move it out (you can remove it later). Pictures of launch with down option, select the main iPhoto library to migrate. Give it time, it is a slow process.

• How can I use iPhoto importing photos from card reader?

  Aloha all, I really prefer to use iPhoto, or opening when importing photos from card, but Photos opens whenever I put in my camera card. In the preferences of the Photo, the choice to select what app to use when importing is gray. How can I make iPhoto, or even simply to capture Image open rather than Photos? I put iPhoto preferences to do this, but it seems pictures somehow overrides it. Tips, tips out there? Mahalo

  Try to set the default application to open the General preferences in iPhoto window:

  

  Do you know that iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple print shops so that all projects must be created and controls through Photos?  Just a heads-up.

  If the above does not work, you can kill all apps to open when a camera is connected with the following command in the Terminal application, posted by JadedEye:

  Re: Prevent DEFINITELY the Photos to open automatically

  in response to leonie

  OK, it worked for me on El Cap

  Open a terminal window

  Type the following in the terminal and press enter

  defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

  (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

  The exit of the terminal.

  Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

  If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

  This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos of gd lance all the time.

  You must then manually run the application that you want to use with the memory card or camera.

  

• Why usually importing Photos ALL of my photos from iPhoto

  I have a large collection of pictures which I was very happy with my iPhoto app, Apple published the Photos that looks like a nice piece of software, but whenever I try to use it, it will not copy all photos on, forever young: a few hundred, it just won't take them, I even found the pictures and tried to import them manually but it used.  Personally I would rather continue to use iPhoto, but I know that someday I'll have to go to Photos, anyone know the best way to avoid this from happening?

  Sorry, but say us you have a problem with no details don't give anyone anything to work with - you must provide details since we can not see you

  What software you have on your device IOS and Mac (version)?

  What are the iCloud settings do you have on each device?

  Where are these pictures that are being missed? Why don't manually import you them? Which exact error message do you get?

• I use a MacBook Pro 11 elements. I can no longer import photos from iPhoto as this was changed to 'photos' how can I use with my recent photos?

  How can I import the photos in "photos"? My macbook program has no iPhotos only "photos."

  Hi Anne,.

  Currently, it is not possible to directly import Photos. You need to export media from the Photos app on hard drive and then import them into the Organizer.

  Thank you

• If I import photos from iPhoto they will similarly remain in iphoto

  If I import photos from iPhoto they will remain in iPhoto

  Yes, your masters will remain in iPhoto. Items will make a copy.

  You can import a library full iPhoto (v09 and above) including events or import individual photos.

• Why Lightroom re - import photos already imported from my iPhone 5?

  I noticed that if I use Lightroom to import photos from my iPhone, it fails to recognize that it has already imported to them. I do not see this behavior when my Canon imporing. How to make LR to recognize what it is already imported?

  A question of "stupid":

  Have you disabled - top right of the import dialog box?

  It should be checked when you do not want "old" photos to import again.

• Import photos already imported previously

  I use Windows 7 and had previously imported photos from my camera.  Something happened with my computer and now I want to import the photos again, but it won't let me because they had previously been imported.   How do I change the setting so I can re-import these photos?

  I use Windows 7 and had previously imported photos from my camera.  Something happened with my computer and now I want to import the photos again, but it won't let me because they had previously been imported.   How do I change the setting so I can re-import these photos?

  =============================================
  Two possibilities:

  (1) renaming or deleting the following file:
  'PreviouslyAcquired.db '.

  expected photos to download again.

  Find the file in the following location:

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Photo
  Acquisition\PreviouslyAcquired.DB

  Rename: PreviouslyAcquired.OLD

  If you can't find the file, you may need to change your
  settings for 'show hidden files '.

  In Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Reach... Button start / Control Panel / appearance
  and customization / Folder Options / Advanced
  settings / display files, folders, and disks / OK

  Now, find and rename the file.

  Try to re - import your photos.

  (2) connect the camera to the PC via a USB cable and
  Turn on the camera.

  Close all windows that can be opened.

  Reach... Start / computer / removable devices
  Storage...

  Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
  represents the camera. He can say removable disk

  If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
  and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

  The directory of the memory card in the camera must
  poster and if you browse through the various
  files, you must find the photo files.

  Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
  on your hard drive.

  Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
  or external USB memory card reader.

  It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
  FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
  can be low after a long photo shoot could result
  corrupted photos.

• Importing Photos lack a lot of photos

  When I plug my iphone to my MacBook Pro, the photos app appears to import the photos. Great, that's what I want! I want just all the picture files in a folder where I can connect to Picasa, which is at the same time a place I have backup source, etc. Duplicates doesn't bother me, but I don't want to miss anything.

  But when I go to the tab import, it shows my iphone but there are only 42 'News Photos' to import. My phone lists 610 photos under "All Photos". I would like to re - import all these to make sure that I don't miss any. I know that some are duplicates, I will sort that out later with other techniques. But I can not find only these 42 random photos that are new... where di the rest to go! The mac is restarted and phone has not changed anything.

  Where I have pictures imported from this phone previously is a complicated story. Probably I was confused at one point and abandoned a partial import, etc. (so many apps to try do.. photos, iphoto, sometimes iCloud, sometimes AirDrop,... oh my). And I certainly imported to a PC several times to clear the phone memory that I can't do it this time because of access restrictions on this computer. So that part is my fault.

  Is there a way to 'reset' what pictures are seen on this phone like new by Photos app? I google endlessly for this solution, which only seems to show solutions for the PC where I delete the .db files. But no solution, I saw worked for the mac and the memory becomes full.

  Hello and welcome to Apple support communities, PumpkinInPortland.

  If I understand your post right, you are wanting to do a new import all photos on your iPhone to your Mac, so that even the pictures that have already been imported are imported again. I certainly understand wanting to make sure that you do not miss the photos and I'm happy to help you to do.

  It is not a way to reset the photos the Photos app sees it as 'new', but there is another way to get all your imported photos. The best way to do it is with Capture of Image instead of the Photos app. Take a look at the steps on how to do that here: Capture of Image: transfer images and other elements of your device after you have successfully imported your pictures from your iPhone, if you want to move to Photos on your Mac, you can do so by dragging the folder of photos from the Finder application to the pictures window.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  Take care.

• Importing photos made duplicate photos

  Hello

  I am having trouble with the Photos app each time that I plug in my phone, it asks me to import new photos (as usual), but this import include SOME photos (24) I already imported. So, every time I import I get a copy of the same 24 photos. Yes, for now I have 7 versions of the same image. It is very annoying and a waste of space. I would like to know a fix for this.

  See you soon,.

  You may simply need to import selected photos

• MacBook keeps asking me to import the same images?

  I own a macbook pro on the latest version of el capital, and I am the owner of an iPhone on iOS 9.3 6.

  For the record I had those problems before you try our this 9.3 beta.

  I recently imported a ton of pictures that I found on my old laptop and now whenever I plug the iPhone into my macbook it will ask me to import the same pictures that I already imported previously. Not a big deal, but it's extremely annoying to have the same pictures to import again and again.

  Relevant parameter:

  I'm installing library iCloud photos and photo stream.

  I'm installing library iCloud photos and photo stream.

  ICloud library is enabled on the iPhone? With the option "Optimize storage" active?

  Then you will see again and again the same pictures in the import Panel when you connect the iPhone. The problem is, you cannot view pictures on the iPhone, without having to download the full versions of iCloud, and these downloads to iCloud will show as new photos when you connect iPhone to a USB port on your Mac.

• How to change the import settings when importing photos

  Changing the settings to import photo with Windows 7

  I want to change the import for my Canon camera settings when you import pictures using Windows 7.  I had already managed to do it once but to adjust settings again.  However, when I connect my camera to my PC, it starts automatically import photos based on the current settings with no option to change.  Please help - its driving me crazy!

  Microsoft seems to be lame on answering machine bugs here and just standard information messages, which of course do not work.

  A solution has been validated, in part, to david.gardiner.net.au/2010/02/changing-location-of-pictures-and.html. Maybe there is an easier way.

  In the Windows registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition

  There are a number of subkeys. For example, there is a subkey "Camera and Portable device."

  Return the next value of AcquisitionFlags to 0 x 82 in the registry key seems to restore the Import Wizard asking you to specify an optional tag and you click again on the link "Import settings":

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition\Camera and Portable device

  To make this change yourself, follow these steps (with the standard warning that change the incorrect Windows registry can completely ruin everything!):

  1. run regedit.exe
  2 navigate in the tree of the registry to find the following subkey:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition\Camera and Portable device

  3. double-click on the value "AcquisitionFlags".
  4. Type "82".
  5. click "OK" and close the registry editor

  I had to scan it for my Scanner in the category.

  Since the update to IOS 10/Sierra, the Photos is not automatically import photos from my camera. Previously, I would like to connect the camera to the USB port, open iPhotos and he would start the import process.
