IPhoto worked great; with Photo I can no longer import pictures from my camera.  Why?

I never had a single problem importing photos using a USB connection between camera and iMac.  Since the new Photos was automatically installed with the latest OS Yosemite update, I no longer can import photos...the screen automatically opens, it shows all the photos on my camera, it allows me to choose which photo(s) I want to import and then I click "Import" and I get a nasty message that my photos to be imported are NOT in the correct format.  Well, what the heck format are they supposed to be in?  I see nowhere on my camera where I can change a format...
HELP!!!!  I need to import photos of my granddaughter's First Communion for my entire family and the photos are stuck on my camera!!

Backup cycle - running you normally computer backup - you do have a regular backup going don't you?
Image Capture is an application in your Applications folder exactly as I stated
Try Image capture (in your applications folder) or a card Reader - once the photos are safely on your mac and at least one successful backup cycle has run use the camera's format command to reformat the card
In order to import as before you have to solve the problem that you have
In irder to solve the problem you have to read and follow directiopns
Simply posting crazy comments and not fooling directions will not resolve your problem

  • I can no longer import pictures from photos to shutterfly? Can someone guide me?

    When I had iphoto I was able to upload pictures form my events onto shutterfly. Now, with this new prgram, photos, I am unable to down load photos into shutterfly. Can someone help with this issue?

    You should e able to see the Photos Library in any file chooser dialog panel in the sidebar.
    When you select files for uploading on the webpage, scroll the file chooser panel down, until you are seeing the "Media" section in the sidebar. Click the "Photos" icon and select the "Photos" library.  That will work, if your current Photos library has been enabled as the system Photos Library. The option to make it the system photo library is in the Photos Preferences > General. If this option is disabled, your library is already the System Photos library.

  • With the Firefox upgrade I can no longer download pictures from my camera to my iMac osx. Please help.

    Before i upgraded to the latest Firefox, I could easily download photos from my Lumix to my computer, an iMac 24 inch with OSX 10.4.1.
    Since the Firefox upgrade, my computer does not accept the camera.
    No icon appears on my screen.
    Neither is there a connection when I directly insert a memory card to a stick and then to the computer. That used to work on the previous Firefox.
    I tried disabling and then again enabling the plug in, iPhoto Photocast 7.0. Makes nodifference.
    What can I do to correct this?

  • 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
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

  • I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format.  What is wrong?  Same camera as before.

    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?

  • HT4858 with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    with photo stream on and importing pictures from your camera into your Ipad - after 30 days the pictures will be removed from photo stream, but will the pictures still be in your Ipad ? andy

    To my knowledge, pictures in photo stream stay there untill there is more than 1000 of them, then after that the oldest ones are removed from photo stream.  If your photos have synced to your devices via photo stream or manual syncing they will be there until you elect to delete them.

  • How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?

    Pretty much what the quetions states - "How can I get imported pictures from my ipad 3 to my laptop?"
    I've imported a load of pics from my Nikon D40 to my iPad 3 (ios 6.1) using the iPad camera connector. 
    So far so good.
    However I cannot sync the pictures to my laptop (win 7).  I would like to be able to keep the albums I have created, and get them to the laptop too.
    If a restore was required I might lose thee pics.
    Any advice or apps recommended to help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve Potter

    To copy photos to your computer that were copied to it via the camera connection kit (or taken with it or saved from emails/websites) then see this page (as far as I know you can't copy their albums) - on a PC you can use the windows camera wizard

  • Using Adobe My Sketch, I can no longer upload pictures from my Library. Why?

    Using Adobe My Sketch, I can no longer upload pictures from my Library. Why?

    Hi Dan,
    Based on the title of your post, seems like the application you were using was "My Sketch". This forum is for Adobe Photoshop Sketch: Adobe Photoshop Sketch on the App Store on iTunes. If you have not tried Adobe Photoshop Sketch, please give it a try. Hopefully, it will be a better fit for what you want to do. You are allowed to select any of your images from your photo gallery.
    Regards,
    Jose

  • Can I delete the pictures from my camera and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

    Can I delete the pictures in my camera roll and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

    No, you can't. If you have created albums on the iPad and think that there are copies of the photos in those albums, that is not how it works. The albums created on the iPad merely contain pointers to the photos in the camera roll or to any synced photos that you have. If you delete the photos from the camera roll, they will be deleted everywhere and will be gone.

  • Photo app can no longer import using the camera connetion kit

    I have been using the ipad photo app for some time to transfer photos from my digital camera to the ipad using the camera connection kit. Now, I can no longer import photos via the kit - the app is simply stuck showing a spinning icon on the first image in the series.
    What I do:
    Insert the SD card into the connection kit
    Insert connection kit into ipad
    Wait for photo app to appear
    See list of images
    Press import all
    After this I can see the spinning icon on the first image in the series - it will stay like this, presumably until battery runs out and the ipad dies (I only left it to its own devices for an hour or so..).
    What to do?

    Have you tried resetting the device? HOld down the home and sleep keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple and let it reboot.
    Also...how much are you trying to import? is it possible that you're importing a lot and the iPad is getting lost processing htem all? Does it work if you only do a few at a time?

  • I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

    I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
    The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

    go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
    Peace, Clyde

  • Help with photos that can't be imported

    Hello all,
    Every time I open iPhoto there is a message saying new photos have been found and asking if I want to import them to the library. I click "yes" and the same message is shown again.
    After that, I get a message saying the photos have been added to the folder Recovered_Photos_NN.
    The problem is that the folder is empty and that no photos are added to any library. I already have up to Recovered_Photos_25 folder with no photos in it and every time I open iPhoto a new folder will be created.
    I think this happened for the first time once I connected my iPad 1 to the iMac.
    I have never been able to identify what 24 photos they're talking about. It's always 24 photos.
    Can anyone help me to find what's going on?
    Thanks,

    - quit iPhoto and all other open applications
    - in the top menu bar, select "go", then home.  Open you pictures folder.  Hold down your "control" key on your keyboard, and click on your iPhoto Library.  Select show package content. 
    - locate and drag to trash, the following:
    - the "auto import" folder and the "import” folder
    - launch iPhoto

  • IMovie can't see imported videos from other cameras.

    I've got the last version of iMovie on my iPad 2. (1.2.2)
    When I download on my iPad videos from my video camera, iMovie won't show it! I can't make a project!
    I've got Sony Bloggie Camera... Please, help me!  

    I had a look and it looks to be an AVCHD camera.
    You will need to use either iMovie Mac (the latest version), or use a dedicated app to get the AVCHD Files.
    There are many AVCHD video converter programs.
    I like to use Video Pier:
    http://www.aquafadas.com/en/videopier/
    If you can mount the camera on your computer then you could search through the directories till you find the .MTS files (these are the AVCHD video files).
    But to find out how to access the files from the JVC you'd be better to ask JVC.
    All video will have to be converted before it can be edited on the iPad or iPhone.
    The MTS files can be dragged into Bigasoft by the looks of it.
    I've never used this program, there are free alternatives that work perfect.
    Here is a free converter, worth a try before you pay anyone:
    http://www.macxdvd.com/dvd-to-imovie-converter-free/
    I had a play and it works great.
    The settings need to be just right to get it to work for an iPad or iPhone.
    I find the red settings here need to be like this:
    Then you need to create a new folder/album in iPhoto and add the .mp4 clips there.
    Then go to the photos tab in iTunes and add the photo album with the videos:
    The videos should show up in the camera app, and so also in iMovie.

  • I can no longer import videos from my canon vixia HFS100 into imovie 09

    I have had my canon HFS100 for about 6 months. It is listed in the camcorders supported by imovie 09. It worked great but after the last imovie update the camcorder is no longer recognized by imovie. APPLE please fix this bug now!!!! It worked before the update now it doesn't ***. APPLE support please respond to my post with a status on what to do. I see many post about this similar problem.

    I strongly believe your AVCHD file structure is corrupt. Or at least no longer compatible with iMovies understanding of how the structure should be. The camera will continue to work, but iMovie will no longer recognise it. I dont think this is a bug in imovie, iMovie is just not user-friendly in this respect, as it does not to tell the user about the problem.

    After salvaging your footage, you should re-format your memory card to make iMovie accept it again.
