Hello all

I am looking for some help here. I recently took some photos from my iPhone using my iMac, and they show in iPhoto, however I now want to send individual files and cannot find them (there is just one big iPhoto file about 500mb).

does anyone know how I can get these individual files so I can put them on my iPhone again or send individual files via email attachments?

Thanks in advance.

Wizz

link your imac to your account and send a message to your iphone/iTunes account. then save it from your phone.
 
You can send iPhoto photos via email. Click to make an attachment to the email, now the finder thing opens. You have your list of favourites like "Applications, Desktop etc" and you'd think of click on Pictures in this menu but keep scrolling and there will be a list for Media, click on photos there and you'll find your photos from iPhoto.

is there a way of doing this so I can attach to a web based email client, such as hotmail, or is the process the same?

can I also view files seperately to open seperately and add back to my iphone?

I just tried it from Gmail and it worked so should work with hotmail as well. When selecting the files to email, you should be able to hit Space on your Mac and see a preview of the file before you attach.

As for getting photos back on your phone, you can also do it through iTunes. Connect your phone and launch iTunes. Under devices, click on your device and on the top menu you should see a list of Summar, Info etc. Click on photos and enable sync. Now you can choose to sync from iPhoto or create a separate folder somewhere and put the photos that you want in there and sync just that folder.
