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

Raymond

  • 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.

    Hello Grumpelfuerer,

    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.

    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

    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.

  • How to transfer pictures from the phone to the computer via a USB cable?

    I just bought a Tundra VA76r and universal mini-USB cable at a local store AT & T. I downloaded the "v3.9.0 USB driver for Windows 32-bit" on the Motorola support site, I have Windows XP SP2 on my desktop Dell. The driver is described as follows:

    This USB driver is used for connecting your Mobile from Motorola phone to a Windows® computer via a USB cable to charge your phone or to access the data on your phone. This USB driver supports most Motorola OS, Linux OS, Motorola, Motorola iDEN, Motorola Symbian/UIQ, Motorola Windows Mobile® and i-mode of Motorola phones.

    I installed the driver and the load function works. My phone USB connection type is MODEM. However, I am not able to "access the data on my phone" as promised in the description of the driver. The phone is not recognized in Windows Explorer. All I want to do is to transfer pictures from the phone to my computer. The price for Motorola Phone Tools ($50) seem expensive for such a simple task. An adapter for my desktop computer bluetooth is also in this price range. The tundra is incompatible with the feature of this driver? I'm doing something wrong with the installation of the phone? Please help me to get the driver to work... Thank you

    Best way to do this is to configure your phone USB setting of "memory card".  Go to Menu-settings-connections-settings USB online online online, select the memory card.

    Once this is done, connect the phone to the computer, phone will be recognized as a removable disk. Go to my computer.  Under devices you'll see removable drive F or G depending on your drives (can show two if you have a card as well.  Memory card is usually the drive at the top of the page.  The phone memory is lower by car).

    Click on the drive (IE. F, mobile - if memory card).  Here you will see audio, music, photo, etc.  Once here, you can get, drag and drop a file on your computer.  Make sure that you create one or more folders for your files on your computer.

    The same also applies if the transfer of files from your computer to your phone.

    I find that this method is better than to sync the phone.

    I hope it will work for you.  Let me know if it doesn't.

  • 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 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.

    I managed to transfer several photos from my camera coolpix s6300 (which have been backed up on am sd 8 gb card) to my computer... big...

    =========================================
    If the pictures that you have copied to the SD card have been published
    somehow... rotation, brightness, contrast, renamed, etc...
    the camera will recognize them is no longer.

    If you have a cell phone, maybe it would display your photos.
