  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

• How to transfer pictures from iPhoto photo app /icloud app

  my photos on an external hard drive in iPhoto app, when I switch to camera app, there is no way to sync my pictures with iTunes, what do I do now?

  I want to transfer pictures from iPhoto for photo app, I want to synchronize my phone with iTunes, I have 50 GB iCloud because I don't have enough space for the pictures on the mac pro book / that's the reason why I have external hard drive storage photos in iPhoto app / and finally, iPhoto app is not God to keep photos and synchronize with iTunes no more?

  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

• How to copy photos from the external drive to the photo library

  My photos are stored on an external drive.  I want to copy them to a library of Photos.  How can I do this?

  The photos on it files external disk in files and folders image or are they in a library of photos - iPhoto library or an Aperture library?

  If the photos are images in files and folders, use the "Import files" command in Photos and select the folder containing the pictures on the external hard drive in the file selector Panel.

  In the import Panel "Review for import" select the items that you want to import.

• How to transfer pictures from a flash to another drive?

  I downloaded original photos of several before flash drives I had improved their. I realized that I needed to do it before I gave them to my family.

  In Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, I attached pictures and now I want to put them on the same disk flash without Amazon originals. I would appreciate knowing how to transfer new pictures for flash drives without replacing the originals.

  In the Organizer, you can check the location of your photos using the window... Properties.  It will tell you the exact location of your original photos and altered photos.

  I guess your original photos and your revised versions of these photos are all on your c: (the internal drive on your computer).

  Just, if this is the case, highlight the modified pictures that you want to give to your family and use the file... Export as new files and choose your USB drive connected.  Who copies your photos modified on the flash drive without affecting the photos that are on your drive.

• Import pictures from iPhone for WIndows 8 by Date the photos were taken

  How can I import photos to date they have been taken from my iPhone 5 for my laptop that has Windows 8? Currently when I import pictures from my phone, they are saved in a folder with the date on which I'm importing, not the date the photo was taken.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand you have questions, import photos from IPhone to the Windows computer. We will certainly help you with the same.

  In fact, by default, the pictures and videos are saved in the pictures folder in a subfolder named with the date (for example, 2013-09-10). But, if you want to make changes to the template files will be saved.

  For more information: Import pictures and videos from a camera phone or a DVD

  In addition, you can try to refer to the article mentioned below as a solution, saving pictures in groups (folders) of SHOOTING DATE instead of the date imported in bulk. Follow the suggestions of Geoffc1 and see if that helps.

• understand the flow of photos from iPhoto library photos vs vs

  I just transfer a bunch of photos from an external hard drive in my iPhoto library.  I created several new Albums right here.  The problem is that my photos are not displayed when I click on the Photos icon on my menu bar.  Also new albums and photos will appear not on my iPad via the photo stream.  I don't understand how the 3things: I picture library, photos, photo stream, work-sharing app.  How to do all of my albums (and the photos in these albums) duplicate in all (or appear to) all my devices?

  Migrating from iPhoto to a Photos library library affects only the photos in the iPhoto library in time. Photos and albums added to the iPhoto library after that will be in the iPhoto library unless you also import the photos into your photo library and set and fill albums.

  Albums are not spread through my photo stream, only by iCloud photo library.

  The new model is of approximately:

  * Use only the Photos app and the library of Photos on your Mac (s). After the initial migration, ignore iPhoto and its library.

  * Use iCloud photo library as the repository ignoring my photo stream unless you have devices that don't support icloud photo library (for most older iPods). You may need to increase your storage plan iCloud to organize all your photos and videos.

  * Use the Photos app on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s) with iCloud as library active. Again, my photo stream is necessary only if you have devices that don't support icloud photo library. You can use the option "optimize storage' to save the storage space on your iPhone (s) and iPad (s).

• I copied the photo library on external drive, and that one photo now shows despite the file being 70 GB.

  I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.

  I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.

  I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.

  I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.

  Any suggestions?

  We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

• Transfer pictures from iPhoto to Photos

  I transferred all my photos in iPhotos pictures when I first put in place. I imported more photos from my iPhone in iPhotos. How can I transfer the of iPhotos Photos?

  You'd better transfer your photos directly in the Photos, when download you them from your iPhone.

  Photos don't have the tools to move photos from an iPhoto library into an already existing photo library.

  Now that the photos in your iPhoto library, export them iPhoto: select all new photos in iPhoto and use the command "file > export". In the export Panel set 'gender' to the 'Original '.

  Then import the photos exported in the Photos app.  Pictures of launch and use "file > import".

• How can I move from iPhoto to Lightroom 4 11'

  Hello

  I'm looking to start using Lightroom 4 my primary photo editing and management software and was hoping someone can give me a good idea on how to transfer all my images and import them into Lightroom from iPhoto 2011 (I have about 8 000). My biggest concern is not duplicate my files. I don't have an external hard drive so they will remain on my intern. I did not really any changes of my images with iPhoto, so I am not really concerned by the loss of these changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the net and found really good solutions or advice. Thank you!

  First thing I would do is to save your images. To do this, you will need to go to file > export. Here, the best option to do is choose 'gender' to be 'original '. This allows what you export to be in its original format. When you click Export, a new window will appear so you can chose your destination. As I said earlier, this will allow you to choose a folder that iPhoto will empty all your images in a without maintaining your current orginzation in regards to events, etc.. It's very well because this backup is just in case something goes seriously wrong. I prefer to use an external hard drive. You could make a folder on the internal drive, but this will create a copy of your images.

  Once your backup is complete. The second step is to get all the images in the iPhoto library while trying to keep everything in its current state. The easier and simpler way to proceed is to use Aperture 3. If you do not now, you can download the 30 day trial to be able to do. Its the safest method I found and interesting to use the trial just for that purpose. Even if you decide to buy it later, or even remove the trial version, the photos will be where you move and opening can always refer to them. The first step of this opening technique is to import your iPhoto library in Aperture. You have several options on how to proceed in this way. Fortunately, opening will reflect your iPhoto library in its structure (events, etc.). Whe Aperture is open, click file > import > then select iPhoto library. A dialog box opens and the iPhoto library is highlighted. In this box, you have the option to choose where you want to store the files. By default, 'in their cuurent location' is selected. Leaving it selected, opening will leave in iPhoto Library and simply refer to them. You need to select is "in the Aperture library." This could take a while, but finally all of your iPhoto events will be transferred in to the opening, and you see in the sidebar appear under the projects & Albums in a folder called events, which is located in a folder called iPhoto library. Each "event" from iPhoto will become 'Projects' in Aperture 3 and will have a yellow icon beside the name of each event/project. (At this point, I don't know if the iPhoto library is deleted and moved, or if it's a copy of it. If we make a copy by iPhoto Library is still there, you can simply delete the iPhoto library and it will remove your photos that would now be double sort)

  The next step is to move the masters in Aperture. What this does is actually allows you to move your events of the bundled file Aperture, but with each event/project in its own folder, you do not have to rearrange thousands of images. In the Inspector on the left pane, you will see that you can open the iPhoto Library folder and see the events folder. Open the events folder and you will see a list of all the events/projects. This process is a bit of your time. Start by selecting your first event, and then click file > Masters to plan to move. When the dialog box opens, will give you the opportunity to choose where the folder will be moved. What you can do is select your username under Favorites, select a photo and put it in there (or create a new folder in the pictures). After selecting your destination, you want to chose the Format subfolder and select the name of the project. What this did that create a folder named after your project/event and put all the photos in this case in this new folder. You can see an example of name of file listed at the bottom for you. Once you have that together, you can select move the masters. Opening will move the pictures when you have selected, keeping them in their event/folder and keep a clean organization. You will notice that the move took place, a little tag icon in each image as bottom right, moved his stating that the images are now referenced in Aperture and not a managed master longer.

  We must continue to do this for each project/event, one at a time. Once you're done, you're done. All files will be organized in their respective folders in the location you have chosen. The beauty of it is that they are already referenced in Aperture, and if you want to continue using it, you don't have to do something else. You can leave it there and just keep adding to the opening you take more pictures. Second, you can now import into LR by selecting them where they are, by clicking Add in the LR import menu. Leaving them where they are and the references as well.

  If you want to add the images as well, go opening IPTC data and in the top menu bar, select metadata > write IPTC metadata to the master. You can do it before or after you reposition the masters. But I would before importing to LR.

  It is the method that I used and it was the most successful without losing any of my organization in iPhoto and do not duplicate one of the images. It seems a little complicated, but considering that apple gives you no choice of in iPhoto, it's the safest way to free yourself of their shit. The important thing to remember when referencing these images in Aperture or iPhoto is to never move any file once its in a folder on your site of photos and already referenced by the program. Later if you want to use iPhoto, you can simply import this kind of things once again, leaving in their location and their SEO in Aperture. Which has its limitations as well, but such is life in the world of apples. You have really no other choice.

  The two other options are to use these two programs: iPhoto2Disk (http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html) or PhotoShare (http://code.google.com/p/phoshare/). The first, iPhoto2Disk cost 12.99 and is supposed to be able to let you export all from iPhoto in its current state. PhotoShare is free, but I haven't personally used it. I felt more record ranging from the road of opening just because I knew that Aperture communicates well with iPhoto and I can easily get aperture to what iPhoto should have been able to do in export.

  I hope this helps everyone!
