Any way to get photos from iPhoto on iPad into iPhoto on iMac complete with faces and places

12 years ago • updated 12 years ago • 1

My hard drive failed on my two year old iMac, and I now have a new hard drive thanks to Apple Care (without my photos, except for a few which were on iCloud). All my photos are on my iPhone and my iPad exactly as they were on my iMac. I have been transferring them to my iMac utilizing your wonderful software; however, I have to rename all the faces and add the places, which is time consuming when you have 3800 photos (as I do).

Is there any way to transfer them into iPhoto so they maintain the faces and the places?

Dear Lynette,

I am sorry to hear about your hard drive :(

As of right now, Apple does not provide a way for captions and other modifications to be saved when transferring from a computer to your iDevice(s). Our app transfers your photos exactly as they appear on your device save for special modifications.

I wish there was an easier way that we could accommodate this but when you transfer it doesn't keep that data. :(

Also note our app cannot transfer directly to iPhoto. You have to transfer your photos to your computer first and then import them into iPhoto.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Amber
