IPhoto Importing Troubles Help

Hi Everyone,
So I import photos onto iPhoto from my Gopro and the last imports were there. I wasn't thinking and forgot to put them into an album so when I imported more from another camera they replaced the old photos in the last import folder. So now the new photos are there and the others have vanished. Confusing I know but if you can help or have ideas that would be great thanks!

Right  --  Last import is obviously the "last import" so each time you import it changes - that is simply a view of the last import and has nothing at all to do with the photos in your library - the photos can always be viewed as events or as photos (at the top of the source pane on the left of iPhoto under "Library"

  • Iphoto import trouble. Suggestions?

    Iphoto keeps failing on my attempt to import a jpeg photo from my MacBook hard drive, with no explanation. Any suggestions?

    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?

    Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
    If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 - Hangs on any movie file import - crashes -help!

    Hey There Everyone!
    I'm working in iphoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks and have been for weeks.  However, since my upgrade to Mavericks I've had no luck importing any movie file (.MOV,.mp4) into my library from either my iphone or my T2i Canon. Photos are fine. Videos are not.
    I have browsed the boards here and have done the following:
    HELD DOWN ALT/OPTION & created a new library.   IMPORT STILL HANGS AND CRASHES when trying to import videos
    CREATED NEW USER and new library - IMPORT STILL HANGS & CRASHES
    HAVE repaired permssions, then  deleted app, receipts and re-installed from APP store. Still crashes.
    Photos import without any problem. If I have a mix, it imports the photos up until the video, then it's the spinning beach ball of death.
    I get a "not responding" (even after an hour) and then I force quit. On re-opening I get: "A photo ahs been found in the iPhoto library that has not been imported. Would you like to import it? "   This is always the movie file and when I do this it hangs again. I end up saying no and it's put into a .recovered folder just outside my library.
    All other functions seem to be working in Iphoto. Any help anyone has would be great!
    Thanks!

    Open the iPhoto Library as Terence Devlin as shown in this screenshot
    and move the contents of the Auto Import folder
    to a folder on the Desktop. Launch iPhoto and check to see if that message has gone away.  If it has you can try importing the files from the folder on the Desktop again.

  • Hi, i have a canon 60d and i have been importing videos from it onto my mac for months but suddenly when i go on image capture or iphoto it no longer allows me to import them help!!!

    Hi, i have a canon 60d and i have been importing videos from it onto my mac for months but suddenly when i go on image capture or iphoto it no longer allows me to import them help!!!

    Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window.  Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other.  Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

  • How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

    How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library?  It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.  I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one.  They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device."  I hadn't touched the camera.  The message came by itself.  I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit.  Opening it back up, the pictures were gone.  Can somebody help me? 

    What version of iPhoto are you running?  Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Lightroom: Geotags/ locations from iphoto import (using plugin) are not showing in Lightroom and metadata

    Hi, I imported my iphotos to Lightroom using the plugin and realised that the geotagging/locations that I did on iphoto did not get transferred.  What is the best way for me to get the geotags transferred without having to geotag all the photos on Lightroom again?  Going forward, I intend to geotag my photos on Lightroom only, how do I make sure they are in the metadata?  Thanks!

    Hi ltjunior,
    Where are your images stored on your computer?
    Can you locate them, and import them directly from Finder to Lightroom's Library module?

  • IPhoto Importing Problem

    When I tried to import a video on Iphoto (Which I've done many times)
    It is saying:
    iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.
    And I emptied the trash on my dock, and in Iphoto.
    Any Help?

    What system and iPhoto versions are your using?  How are you trying to upload the video from the camera?  Have you tried using Image Capture to upload to the Desktop and then into iPhoto. 
    If you're able to do that reformat the memory card in the camera, take another videos and try again the way to did originally.

  • Problem iPhoto imports triplicates of my iPhone photos

    Hello,
    When i want to import my iPhone photos on my mba'2012, iPhoto wants to import 3 times each photo.
    Instead of importing 1006 photos, iPhoto imports 3018 photos !! :-/
    For example, for a IMG_1500.jpg, iPhoto imports IMG_1550.jpg, IMG_1500_2.jpg and IMG_1500_3.jpg. (same size for each photo)
    Everything is fine in the Photos.app in my iPhone, i see the exact number of photos (1006).
    HDR is OFF
    So what the problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    For information:
    iPhone 4S 5.1.1
    MBA 2012
    iPhoto 9.3.2
    OS X Mountain Lion
    (On OS X Lion, i have the same issue)

    First, thanks to help me.
    For your question, here a screenshot of Image Capture:
    Always the same problem...
    This means that there a problem with my iPhone ?

  • Older file of photos in iPhoto/message = Troubles

    I tried opening an older file of photos in iPhoto and got this message: To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. So, I went to "Learn More" and followed the upgrade they suggested. It said it was successful. Now I've lost everything. My iPhoto won't open and can't access any of my photos. Help?

    1. When iPhoto imports photos it doesn’t move them, it copies them.
    2. Iphoto imports nothing automatically, it always needs a User command.
    3. To import these files, use the File -> Import to Library command
    Regards

  • Aperture iPhoto Import

    I imported my iPhoto library into a trial version of Aperture (Aperture will manage the directory).  iPhoto manages the photos by putting them in by year in the "Masters" directory, then by event name.  I noticed that the Aperture iPhoto import placed all my photos into 2011 directory instead of the same file structure in iPhoto.  Is there a way to get Aperture to manage my imported photos and place the photos in a file stucture by year?
    I do not intend to monkey around with the iphoto or aperture library's, but I do want the photos stored in a fasion that I could move on to some other program if needed in the future.
    Thanks Gary

    None taken, I am just one of those that want to know how Aperture is handling my photos.  My search in the manual and in this forum did not help entirely, until now. You are right it does not matter how Aperture handles the bundle as long as you want to continue to use Aperture.  I thought it was strange that iPhoto handles it one way and Aperture handles it another. I like the way iPhoto places my photos in by year.  It appears that Aperture will also do this but only for my pictures this day forward.  My concern is for the future, and for something that may never happen, but I plan for it anyway.  If I decide to make another change in the future, I would want to make sure at least the pictures are structured by year.  I should be able to go into the Aperture bundle and copy the masters out if needed.  I was hoping I could get the imported photos structure by year.  I do like Aperture so far and will more than likely make the purchase.

  • IPhoto import - a way to import specific albums?

    I was watching the instructional video DVD that came with aperture and have found it a very, very helpful tutorial in getting started. I am having a problem doing one of the things shown on it though. At the beginning of the second track, the video covers iPhoto import, and shows how you can import a specific album by Import > Files and choosing a specific album name within the iPhoto library. My iPhoto library, however, does not have any album names in it - only numbered folders. I'd like to be able to import my business photos only and not my personal photos into Aperture, or ideally both but with a separate aperture project for each photo session. But since the iPhoto hierarchy is just numbered folders, it is too confusing to find what i am trying to import. Do I have to export all my iPhoto albums separately into folders that I name individually, and then import those folders into Aperture?

    You need to
    1. Download the images to a folder on the desktop.
    It may be possible to download an entire album at a time, but that's a question for a Picasa forum
    2. Then import the folder to iPhoto.

  • Iphoto importing issue

    why is iphoto importing doubles from iphone 6 and ipad?

    It looks like a bug-
    There are several reports, that this has been happening, since the iOS 8.1 release. It happens in iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture, but not all are seeing this problem.
    For example, see these discussions:
    iPhoto Yosemite duplicates Photos while importing from iPhone
    iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone
    Connecting iPhone duplicates photos in iPhoto
    duplicate photos in camera roll on iPhoto
    Unfortunately, there is no clear picture yet, what circumstances will make it happen, and how to prevent it.
    For some forum members it was the Photo Stream, others found it was caused by HDR photos, for some the problem went away after the 8.1.2 update, for others it started with this update.
    A few forum members reported, that it helped to dismount the iPhone and plug it in again, and then the duplicates went away.

    If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups.  See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    Mail should work, however, per the blue box there. 

  • Iphoto import creating and importing duplicates/ios8

    I'm using iphoto 9.4.3 and my iphone 5s with ios8.  Since septemberish (ios8 update), it's been double-importing all my pix on from my iphone - none are showing up as duplicates on the phone but import/iPhoto view shows and imports them all twice.  All images come in as img_1234 and img_1234_2 for example.
    Can't figure out why this is but it's a pain - I'm using third party software to scrub duplicates from the library after the fact but is anyone else having this problem?

    I've got this same problem. Didn't see this thread before I posted mine (Re: iPhoto imports 2 of every photo - iPhone 6).
    I've tried:
    Hard restart iPhone
    Updated iPhoto (9.6)
    Updated OSX (10.10)
    Updated iOS (8.1.1)
    Nothing has worked; I get two of every photo and video imported into iPhoto.
    Has anyone else solved this issue? It's not a huge problem; more like an annoyance.
