Can't open JPEGs from PC :..(

I just got a macbook pro, and wow, am I in love.
However -- I brought in a few thousand photos from WINXP, and can't open them in iPhoto. The only thing I can see is that the files in iPhoto are JPG, and the files from the PC are JPEG. I thought there wasn't a difference, but there seems to be one. Any advice? Any way to convert en masse?
When I try to open (or import) with iPhoto I get: "Unreadable files: 1 / The following file could not be imported. (The file is in the iPhoto Library folder.)"
I also tried going in and changing the .jpeg to jpg, but it wouldn't let me, even after I changed the ownership & permissions to "read & write."
Any thoughts? I'm so psyched to get started, and so sad to have this delay! Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto will not import pictures from the iPhoto Library Folder, move them out of there to the desktop, for instnace and import them from there.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?
    I would like suggest you use Clean Boot to troubleshoot if there is third-party software conflict:

  • I can't open jpegs attached to my email.  What can I do?

    I can't open jpegs attached to my email.  Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."  What can I do?

    I'm using Mac Mail as my email client.  I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately.  It will open on a PC with no issue.
    Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up.  Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
    I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.

    Have you updated Photoshop to version 12.0.4 and the Camera Raw plug-in to version 6.6?
    Have you set your Camera Raw and Bridge preferences to use Camera Raw for JPEGs?

    No, he said that DW gives him an error message: "Can't open
    JPEG file" and
    won't allow him to insert the file.

  • CC can't open jpeg

    "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)."
    This is the message I get when trying to open a jpeg downloaded from graphic service.

    I have Mavericks and CC. I think it may be a damaged hard drive. It is a 64 gig thumb drive that I keep all my pictures on.

    Are you opening them from your computer's hard drive, or across a network?
    If from your hard drive, you may have a network issue when downloading, or you may have a damaged hard drive or some other hardware problem.
    What OS?

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • Can't open nautilus from applications menu

    I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
    In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
    I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
    The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
    /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
    /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop:  Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
    Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
    Any one can help?

    Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
    Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched  during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
    According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
    I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
    I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
    This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
    If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
    I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
    Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
    Thanks!
    I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Can't open files from my e-mail

    can't open files from my e-mail. How to fix it?

    Hi Boxergirl,
    Did you happen to install anything else, or make any other changes to your system. I'm flummoxed how signing up for an online service could affect file associations. Here are the steps for resetting file associations on Windows 8.1: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows8_1-desktop/windows-81-how-to-set-a nd-restore-file/16c2e10d-ec99-4fee-8f56-b87c4338e006
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Best,
