How to convert pictures from iPhoto?  I need general info and advice.  I saw the help info but I am very nervous to take on this project, as my library is huge (95GB), organized in several events and albums.  My library is saved (Time Machine SimpleSave HD).  I am running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6 on iMac.

Is your iPhoto Library Library on your system drive in the pictures folder? And you have a lot of free space on your system drive? The migration will need additional temporary storage.

Then drag the iPhoto library icon pictures open to create a new library of Photos of her.

Your albums appear unchanged in the Photos.  Events will appear as additional albums, because the pictures has no events.  See this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

    And finally, iPhoto app is not God to keep photos and sync with iTunes, not more?

    You can use Photos to keep your library and you can use iTunes to sync the photos in your iPhoto library or a library of Photos on your iPhone.

    Only, you can not use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, if you use iCloud photo library on your iPhone.

    But what application now do you use on your Mac to store your library of photos - news pictures for Mac application or you use iPhoto?  It's not quite clear to me your question, because you MENTION both applications.

    iTunes can sync photos of two applications for your iPhone, as long as the iPhone is not synchronized with iCloud photo library.

  • How to transfer pictures from iPhoto to iCloud

    I have a Mid 2010 iMac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 running version and am trying to transfer my photos from iPhoto to iCloud so I don't lose them when I get my new Mac. I tried highlighting them and moving them to a new stream of photos, but it works. I don't want to have to buy an external hard drive. Said the man on the Apple store for transfer to iCloud.

    Hi creekercat,

    There are many options to solve this problem. It would be to get a thumb drive or storage device of some sort that you already own to store them on. Better yet, if you Google Drive or Dropbox, download them from here. I don't really recommend put you your pictures on iCloud because it takes lots of storage. If you have any of the above options, you might as well wait for the new Mac and their parachuting directly through Finder to your new Mac. It will be a long process, but hey, at least you don't lose your files.

    Good luck

    Hello

    Is it possible that I can export my photos from my lightroom cameras sd card and an external hard drive at the same time so I have pictures original/master in both places

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Robert!

    Looks like you want to make a backup during import. If this is the case, you can designate a different location for a second copy when importing.

    1. Check the mark a second copy of box in the management of the files Panel and choose your external drive in the menu drop-down
    2. Then you set regular destination of Lightroom in the Destination panel.

    However, if you mean that you want in the foreground images in Lightroom, but have them physically located on an external drive, then all you need to do is choose this drive in the Destination panel. Lightroom Catalog can be on a different drive.

    I find it useful, however, to use the automatic backup in file management Panel in case.

  • How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

    I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

    Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

    To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.

    You don't have to do anything.  When you open your iPhoto library with the new photo app that the existing library is migrated to a new library of Photos.  However, as with any operation should have a current backup before proceeding.

    don't know how to transfer pictures from a flash drive on mac i.

    Plug a flash drive on your mac.  Flash drive icon should appear on your desktop.  There are adapters for sd camera cards.

    You may be prompted to add pictures to the photo app.

    If not or you do not want to add photos to the app, you can double-click the flash drive icon. You may need to explore the folder where are the pictures.  Drag and drop the photos where ever you like.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that you want to import your photos from your iPhone 6 s, as well as for your Windows PC. I would like to save my photos on my computer as well.

    However, you can connect the tablet to the laptop (I guess it helps a micro USB interface) and could move the files to the new tablet.

    After the images have been moved to the Tablet, you can use a file Android App Manager to have access to the files.
