iPhoto > File > Import

iPhoto has the best books, I use them all the time. Fantastic quality and great price!

Hi,

I second iPhoto, and if as you say you want the images printed by photobox which is an online service once you have saved / imported them into iPhoto just leave the DVD in the drive, log in to photobox and upload directly from the DVD.

I think they are doing a deal a present when you sign up you get about 40 prints free, but don't quote me.

I have already had the free prints offer on previous orders, when i click on file there is nothing for me to click on to import photos,sorry to be a pain.

Hi,

Are you talking about iPhoto or photobox, iPhoto is import.
Also if photobox are you uploading from DVD.

Open up the dvd in finder (double-clicking the dvd icon on your desktop) then highlight & drag all 262 photos from the DVD finder window down onto the iPhoto icon in your Dock.

If there's no dvd icon on your desktop then go to Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop > CD's, DVD's etc

Hi,

Also as my screen shot (1) shows there should be an import option under the iPhoto file menu, once clicked you will get a new window requesting device / area to upload from as screen shot (2) it shows a photo CD on mine.

Success,quite simple really,just dragged the disc icon on desktop to iphoto and uploaded in a few seconds on the mac desktop and the macbook,thanks all..I assume you have realised that i am new to Apple and macs,i have used windows for the last 14 years,and mac is strange to me,but i am learning slowly with the help in this forum.
thanks all.

Hi watt,

I'm very pleased to hear your success as images are so personal and important life reminders.
But am still mystified as to why you do not have the import to library option. Should possibly have mentioned drag and drop, but was side tracked with import.
Once again well done as moving from PC to Mac is a learning curve, but I hope you find it an enjoyable one.
