Import all pictures from my iPhone to iPhoto

Hello,

I have been trying to import pictures from my last holidays from the iPhone directly to the iPhoto and my MacBook.

The problem is that, yesterday, the only possibility to import pictures was to selected those taken between 8th August and 17th August. I cannot im^port for instance the pictures taken from the 30th July to the 7th August. The result is that I only imported around 400 pictures while I still do have a lot more in my iPhone... How can I import all pictures, no matter when there were taken?

Thank you very much for your help.

All the best,

Laurent

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Try using Image Capture to upload all of the iPhone photos into your library. Just so we're on the same page are you using iPhoto 9.6.1 or the new Photos app with your Yosemite setup?

Hello OT,

I am using the 9.6.1 version indeed.

When I try to upload newer ones (ok, I've got the French version!), it tells me all photos have been imported (which is not the case).

I obviously cannot change the dates above (see "iPhone de Laurent 8/08/15 - 17/08/15). I don't think Image Capture would definitely solve my problem, and I am still looking for a solution either to change the dates or to import all pictures with another solution.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I think this may work:

In Image Capture: click your iPhone,

in the same left pannel bottom set iPhoto.

Quit Image Capture. Connect the iPhone.

That will let iPhoto take control.

If you use Image Capture to download all of your photos to a folder on the Desktop you can then import those you want into the Photos library from there. If there's a duplicate you'll get a window allowing you to either import or not import.
