import photos from apple?

I have lightroom and you want to import my old photos that exist currently in iPhoto, and photos by apple.

Went under file, plug in extras, import from iPhoto library.

But the plug says that he supports libraries with iPhoto 9.5.1 and later versions.  It says my library is older and errors may be encountered.

Before, I thought I'd see if anyone has a better way to do it.

Thank you very much.

Import folder of masters as suggested above is the fastest solution, but it has a few drawbacks: it keeps all the metadata (location is particularly important for me) and more problematic for me - don't retains the structure of the album. What I want, it's essentially to convert my photo folder/album structure in the folder structure in Lr (each year is its own folder containing albums of the year where each album also includes the datecode in the form of 'Name of the AAMM-DD').

The only solution I found was to setup auto import Lightroom folder, then use it to export a photo album of this folder, go to Lightroom, wait until automatic importation was complete and finally to rename the new folder in Lightroom in the name of the Album. It had to be repeated for each album, so you can imagine that it is time consuming and not pleasure at least... But to help me maintain my sanity, I created 2 macros Keyboard Maestro, one for export a photo album and the other to take care of renaming in Lr. They work like this:

1. first macro exports all photos in the album selected in Lr auto import folder and copies the album name to the Clipboard.

2 then when Lr moved all the pictures I launched the second macro that renames newly created auto import folder using the name of the previously copied album.

3. after each year, I created the folder of the new year in Lr and then tweaked the auto import settings so that it has generated record auto import inside this new folder (it's optional, as it is very easy to manage files in Lr later too, especially since I use datecode on their behalf, but it is still nice to have created folders to which they belong)

That allows to import > 20000 photos of ~ 1200 albums for the past 16 years, preserving all metadata as well as maintaining the structure desired in Lr... Took me again some time, spread over two evenings, but at least the macros does all the work of painstainking of clicking, typing and pressing the buttons, all I had to do was throw them and wait to be filled. In addition, it's also fun going through old photos.

If someone wants to try this route, I can send them my macros for good start (you must own Keyboard Maestro https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/ (can't quite recommend it, use all the days for various shortcuts) - and you probably have to adapt your own workflow macros)

    I feel like it is a stupid question, but, before the upgrade to Sierra, I could drag a photo from Photos of Apple (he replaced iPhoto) in the elements to modify the image.

  • 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.

  • Recently impossible to import Photos from the digital camera or iPhone device

    In the past, whenever I have one of my digital cameras or an iPhone connected to my PC (Dell Inspiron 530 running on Windows Vista), the import box would jump to the top, I'd choose to import photos and everything worked without problem.  Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but recently I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2007 and installed Norton 360 and since then I'm unable to download pictures from my digital camera (Canon Powershot SD950 IS) or my iPhone.  The box "import photos" don't jump (it always did before), and when I go to the Picasa or Windows Photo Gallery and try to "import from camera", it tells me there is no connected device (this happens when the iPhone or the Canon camera is plugged).  And instead of the pealing sound, my PC would usually do when a device is correctly spiked, he made three low knock-type noises, as if to say the device was not properly read.  Interestingly, the iPhone still synchronizes / charges, etc., but I can't get on the photos.  I spent some time chatting with Norton Customer Support, because this issue has started only after that I installed Norton 360, but we have uninstalled Norton 360 (re - installed since) and the problem continued.  I tried several ports, and because this problem has affected at the same time my iphone and a digital camera, that work with any other son and USB ports, I'm pretty sure that this is not something simple like a bad port or wire.  I don't know if it's a matter of updating Windows Vista or what.  So now I'm scratching my head...

    Hi Tweet49,

    Problem may be due to bad sectors. Let us try the following methods.

    Method 1

    Analyze the drive for bad sectors.

    1. click on start > computer.

    2. right click on the map, and then open properties > tools

    3. check the box to automatically correct system file and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. try to copy the files

    5. If the problem persists, create a new folder and then copy the files.

    6. If you are still not able to copy then try the next method.

    Method 2

    I suggest to format the device, then try to copy music.

    7. click on start > computer.

    8. right click on the map and choose the Format option.

    9. you can choose Fat32 or NTFS.

    10. do not select Quick format.

    11 try to copy the photos once formatting is complete.

    Try this and let us know the result.
