How to import pictures to my library of Photos on Macbook Pro if I moved the library to an external drive to save space?

Recently, I copied my library of Photos (Yosemite version 10.10.5) on an external drive, so I can then delete it to free up disk space. I've read some older articles (a few years), because I can't find the newest, who speak of creation and management of affairs to a new library, but it does not appear to match the drop-down menus, I work with that.  I myself as much as to rename the Library copy, I still have on my Macbook Pro, but don't know what to do to go from there, since I seem to be outdated instructions.  I have not removed the library still existing on my Mac because I fear that I won't be able to undo everything I do.  Can someone enlighten me please?  Thanks in advance for your help.

Pictures always open and use the last use library - hold down the option key while launching Photos and choose the library on the EHD (note the EHD must be formatted Mac OS extended (journaled), be connected via a fast wired connection and should not be used as a backup volume Time Machine)-a complete test it and then you can remove the library on the internal disk (test once more before emptying the Recycle Bin)

  • Import videos on my iPhone as photos on macbook pro

    When I import videos from my iPhone for pictures on my macbook pro, they read that the videos on my computer, but when I try to upload them to Facebook, Facebook will not identify them and shen I save on my desktop they save as a file image IMG_5438.m4v for example.  Why is this happening?  Shouldn't he 'function' when you import video from your iPhone to your macbook pro?  I don't know what to do please help!  I need to get these videos on Facebook for my direct marketing job. I spent two hours on the phone with 4 different people from Apple yesterday and they couldn't help.

    Are you sure, that the file saved to the desktop is an image?. The file name extension .m4v suggests it's a video. Try to double click on it. It should play. Part e the name of the name of the file will always be IMG, when you import from an iPhone, the file name extension is what counts.

  • How to import pictures from my camera to my computer

    How to import pictures from my sony digital camera to my computer

    Hi skootto58,

    Google may help, or it can take you in many directions different or bad.  I have actually used Bing to get to most of the links posted here - so it is obviously useful, but most of us are trying to be a bit more useful than answering questions (even if lack us critical information).  I have referred you to a more appropriate forum, but since I think I can help with the question, I'll answer anyway.  Next time, unless you think that the problem is caused by malware or MSE (which I doubt is the case here), a question like that should be displayed in the site appropriate in the main forum from here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/hardware?page=1&tab=all&tm=1300700638376.

    I could be more specific, if I had the specific brand and model of the digital camera and the version of Windows you are using (for example, the SP2 32-bit Vista Business - Yes that much detail).  I don't know if your model has a USB transfer cable or if you remove the memory card and use a player to access the photos.  As it is, I can provide only generic information.  If it helps, it's fine.  If not, then provide this information and I'll try to find specific instructions.

    See the following article: http://www.ehow.com/how_5983411_import-pictures-camera.html.

    Here's a simple tutorial if you use Vista (and a camera with a USB connection): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/How-do-I-get-pictures-from-my-camera-to-my-computer.

    Here's a simple tutorial if you use Windows 7 (and a camera with a USB connection): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-get-pictures-from-my-camera-to-my-computer.

    This article deals with transfers of memory flash cards as well as in Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Working-with-digital-pictures.

    If using Vista and the problem is that AutoPlay is not enable, see the following set up: http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-vista/change-windows-vista-auto-play-options/.

    To be honest, I think the best bet is to go to the Sony support, enter information about your camera, and I think one of the most frequently asked questions for each of them is to know how to transfer pictures to a computer.  Click on that and you should get specific instructions (even though they may vary depending on your Windows operating system, but will probably provide details for the latest versions or they will be so similar that no additional detail is required).  Start here enter your camera model: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl?PRODTYPE=7&NAVDISP=di# and then just look for the instructions and follow them.

    If the above does not work, try to download the manual of your camera from here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DOCS and there is an excellent chance it will cover transfers to computers in every detail.

    If that still doesn't work, try their technical support at: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/support-contacts.pl?mdltype_id=3233637171028026724455847427576110810910389103578487710629503964124158815260451017366768662546770682171881008225288369594924104537922424613105685336519473843437435.  There is a good chance that this may involve a cost if your camera is out of warranty. In any case, chances are that it will cost you are highest with phone average contact with chat contacts and the lowest with contact e-mail (just as the level and speed of charge often decreases the same way).

    If you can't get free technical support from Sony and don't want to pay for it (and I can't blame you for it), then try their Forums (like this but for Sony and products free to use) and ask your questions there. Start here: https://forum.sel.sony.com/viewforum.php?f=69&sid=7d46201819078b814c4a7095f972920b and check to see if your question is already answered - it can be.  If this isn't the case, post and wait.  They seem not very active so it may be a while before you get a useful answer.

    If any of the works above, answer the questions I asked earlier to identify what we deal with, and I'll try to find something a little more precise.  If you have tried to do so but have a certain type of problem, then please also go into detail about what has happened or not happened when you tried.  The system detects the device or memory card?  Be as specific and detailed as possible because more I know, the better I can help you.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Premiere Elements is a video editor. You try to make something of a video collage of your photos?

    If you try to make a photo montage in Premiere Elements, you use the wrong tool for the job.

    If you try to make a photo montage, there is a number of tools to do this in Photoshop Elements and the elements Organizer. Actually, the organizer has a tools especially designed to create collages of photos on the tab create. Have you tried to use this tool?

    BTW, I said goodbye to 50 a long, long time ago, pamela. It is really not difficult once you know what you want to do and where are the tools. You will want to perhaps by the book "Muvipix.com Guide Photoshop elements & first Elements 14", available on Amazon, which shows you step by step how to use all the tools in the programs as well as the Organizer.

  • I do not understand how to import a project that I created in Final Cut Pro in After Effects

  • Photos will not open the iPhoto on an external drive, already "migrated" library

    I moved my iPhoto to an external drive library, updated, then "migrated" photo library with the drive connected. Once I opened the Photos without the drive connected, and there is a library 'Photos' of 9 seemingly random photos. Now, the pictures will not open the old library with the drive connected. Is there a way to change the pictures in the library accesses?

    Here's the disclaimer that I get: the contents of the iPhoto 'iPhoto Library' library has already migrated to the Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library.

    (But it does not open the library on the external hard drive).

    Search and select the library located on the EHD and click Choose library.  The location of the selected library will appear just below the window.
