IPhoto 6: last imported picture ( left, upper screen) gets iPhoto to frees

Hi,
My problem is, that i can't work on the last importet picture from my camera
(Panasonic NV-GS400) without getting IPhoto to frees (round colourball rotates for ever). Nothing is wrong with the rest of the pictures. It is just always the last importet of all the photos.
I push the start-button on the back side of the computer and shut it down. In this way I have a possibility to continue working in iPhoto after a new start. But I don't like that methode.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks
Wolfgang

Wolfgang:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. When you try to edit do you get a white screen and the never ending spinning cursor? If so then you have no access to that file. An easy way to set it straight is to download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field. It will take care of any other files that my be similarly configured and you haven't found yet.
Do you Twango?

  • Cannot get iphoto to display imported pictures

    Recently I used Duplicate Annihilator to remove duplicates from iphoto '09, which were imported from many folders of pictures (not directly from a camera) and I just noticed that all photos which had duplicates are now no longer in my photo library at all. This was around 2,000 photos. I used finder to search for a specific folder that I imported and that is no longer visible in iphoto and I am able to locate the folder and files of all missing pictures inside the iphoto library file.
    So how do I get iphoto to display these files which are in the iphoto library but cannot be found in iphoto?
    I have tried rebuilding the photo library by using command-alt-shift and opening iphoto, but it did not work. It did, however, create more duplicates which I am scared to annihilate out of fear that I will lose those completely as well.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Run the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    Fix #2
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    2. Open the library package like this.
    3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    When I try to import pictures from media card to iPhoto, I'm getting the error 'The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format.'  The file is a jpeg and I've never had this problem before.

    What version of iPhoto?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Can anyone help me. Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly.  When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.  Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."

    Can anyone help me.  I have iPhoto 9.2 and  Mac OS X 10.7.2.
    Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly.  When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library.  Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."
    I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem.  I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
    Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
    On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin".  Does this help with an answer?

    I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive. I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and everytime I try to enable photo stream the app crashes. I have tried all the above suggestions, including re-installing iphoto from the Mac App store. Below are the first 50 lines of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My iPhotos have disappeared completely.   How do I get iPhoto back?

    My iPhotos have disappeared completely.   How do I get iPhoto back?

    1. Your Library should be in the Pictures Folder, not the Applications folder. Are you sure that you're not looking at the Application?
    2. If it is in the wring folder, move it to the Pictures folder. That's inly in the case of the Library not the application.
    3.
    Couple of things to try:
    Restart your mac and try launch iPhoto again.
    If that fails:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a file called ‘iPhoto’Lock.data or similar. Drag it to the Desktop. Make no other changes. Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If not: Where is your iPhoto Library stored? If it's on an External Disk, what format is that?

  • When I import pictures from my camera into iPhoto, does it import the original photo size?

    I've been importing pictures from my camera & my phone into iphoto, but I'm not sure if it's automatically importing it as the original file size and not changing it into a smaller photo... Is there a way I can check this?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Yes it imports a byte by byte copy of the photo.
    What do you mean by 'size'? Do you mean file size? Or the dimensions of the photo (length by breadth)?
    You can compare simply by exporting the original out of iPhoto
    File -> Export, and set the kind to Original

  • How do i remove a last import pictures without importing more photos?

    How do i remove photos from a last import, i cant delete it off my iphone4s and i cant do anymore imports!

    There is no way to import from an iPhoto Library to a Photos one. You can migrate an entire Library at one time, that's all. Otherwise your choice is to export from iPhoto to the Finder, thereafter import to Photos.

  • Iphoto does not import pictures or detect them.

    Hi, we have a tutoring program where I work and we wanted to use apple's "fixup" pictures in the class. To make the experience more realistic for the users, we plan on putting the pictures onto memory card readers (with memory cards already in them). We would like to recreate putting the memory card readers into the computers and importing from iphoto. The memory card readers are: Multi Flash Media Reader.
    We first tried to make a folder called DCIM for iphoto to recognize when we open up iphoto. When we had this initially setup iphoto would recognize if you put ONE photo into the folder at a time (From the computer to removable disk). However when we put in multiple pictures (say all of the pictures from the "Cayman Trip") iphoto came up with an error stating that basically that it could not recognize the photo type. When we looked at the name of the file paths however, it was not the file path that we had set up. Unfortunately I can't recreate the error right now because we have reformatted the photo disk in hopes that that would resolve the issue.
    Now that we have reformatted we have recreated the DCIM Folder, and now Iphoto will not detect the photos in the folder at all.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Do you have a camera that you could use to reformat the card, take a few shots and then replace those files with your jpgs? See if that would clean up the path and recognition.
    However, you might want to teach the students to import the photos manually into iPhoto as that's a safer way of doing it, particularly if you're coming direct from a camera. That saves wear and tear on the camera and battery and avoids possible shutdown of the camera due to low battery in the middle of an import. That can damage a library. Also never have iPhoto erase the memory card after import as there have been too many reports of incomplete or no import and complete erasures.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • IPhoto deleted Last Import!

    Last night I went to a concert and as usual I tried to upload my pictures to my Mac through iPhoto from my iPhone 5.  Immediately after I clicked delete pictures from my iPhone to free up space, it deleted the library that I had just created with all of my pictures from last night in it.  I check everywhere and they're no where to be found! If anyone knows a way to fix this PLEASE help!!

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Iphoto crashes  upon importing pictures

    I was importing pictures and the iphoto crashed all my events are not showing i have a spinning wheel that is white while iphoto is open. My version of iphoto 11 is 9.4.3.  i have the new version of Maverick but when iphoto crasged i did not have newer version.
    I have tried restarting  as well as command and option key held down while opening iphot to try and rebuild and repair but nothing happens to try and have my photos comes back it only prompts to connect camera or drag photos into iphot etc.
    please help
    thank you

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Iphoto has always imported pictures........not now.  Help please.

    Hello,
    I've always been able to import photos from my Canon Powershot SD500 into my iphoto 6. I installed Leopard about a month ago and imported photos successfully soon after.
    This morning I tried to upload photos from my camera to my G5 ( 3 1/2 years old ) and the import screen came up; I clicked on the import photos button on the lower left corner of the window and instantly it said "Stop Importing" and went back to the library window.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
    Much thanks in advance.

    You don't sync photos back to the Mac. It does not work that way. You import the photos into iPhoto or you can use Image Capture or other apps as well.
    iOS: Importing photos to your computer
    Then you can create an event or album in iPhoto and select that event or album to sync back to Mac the next time that you sync.
    I am just guessing that the original event is in the Photos app on the iPad (it was not deleted) and then you somehow selected the event to sync again in iTunes giving you two events of the same photos.
    You can select or deselect the events and albums that you want to sync in iTunes

  • IPhoto won't import pictures from CD-R.

    The CD's were made on the first model of the dome 15 " G4 iMac combo drive to free up space on the 60G hard drive quite a few years ago.  At the time I checked and the photo's came up from all the CD's in iPhoto.  I now have a iMac 23" with an i3 processor, 1TB hard drive with 700G free space left.  Latest version of software.  It just says preparing for import, and the activity bar comes up.  A couple of times iPhoto has just quit after about 10 minutes, and the last time it went on for about 20 mins with no sign of progressing ( the CDs can only hold 700MB).
    I would appreciate any ideas on how I can get access to these family photos, I have 5 CD's worth!
    Thanks
    Best wishes Amer

    Hi Terence, I must admit I didn't have a clue how the photo's were saved - I just used the iPhoto help advice available at the time.  What confused me was that my old iMac did just import direct from the disks.  I now know that having followed Larry's advice, they were saved as an iPhoto library because that is the title that came up for the folder in Finder.  Thanks for getting involved.
    Best wishes Amer
