Why can't I download photos marked as NSMenultem into iPhoto?

Where are these files from? That does not sound like an image file. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
from where are you downloading?
where are you downloading to?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Why can't I download photos from my iPhone to iPhoto?

When I try to download photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, it says:
Help please?

Only thing I can link it to is the Location services. somehow the phone thinks I can't allow anyone to download images that reveal my location... even on my own computer. A programmers oversight, but i can't figure out how to ALLOW it again!
HELP!

Why can't I download photos from my cellphone to iPhoto?

When I connect the cable between my Cellphone (Vodafone) to my iMac, nothing happens. iPhoto does not recognize my Cellphone. Do I need to install Vodafone software so iPhoto recognizes my phone? I purchased a special cable from Vodafone designed to transfer images from phone to computer.
I download pics from my Canon 20G, Sony Cybershot and Canon G6 with no problems. I love iPhoto.

Hi Nancy,
I may be missing something, but Vodafone is the service provider correct? What phone do you have (example: Motorola V3, Moto V3i, etc)? Does it have Bluetooth? It is much easier to put the photos on your computer first then transfer them into iPhoto.

Why can't I import photos from my CannonZR70 into iPhoto 08?

Since updating to Mac OS X 10.7.3 I can't see my CannonZR 70 in iPhoto so I can import my Project Linus pictures. I have iPhoto 08. I cannot find the Source so I can check to see if my camera is supported. Help!!!
Do I need to update to iLife? (I was able to take a picture with my iPhone 3G and import it... but want to use the Cannon)

It worked just fine until I did the update to get to 10.7.3.
I am using the card option on the Canon when I take pictures of the blankets.
When I go to the VCR setting, usually the import operation would come onto the screen in iPhoto 08. Now nothing happens.
I have always had one end of the cable hooked to the DV port on the ZR70 and the other to the firewire port.
Thank you for any advice or assistance,
Gayle

Why can't I download photos from ipad to facebook?

Why cant I drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore

Hi, I'm not very techy, in the last few days I seem unable to drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore, always been able to before, any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

It's only a workaround till you find a solution. This problem is not affecting everyone so it's associated with one's particular setup.
Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Next boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command+R keys held down, and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the disk. If that doesn't help boot again in the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.

Why can't I download photos from my harddrive in PSE Organizer 8?

I've tried 3 different times to download my photos in PSE Organizer 8 from my harddrive. Each time I tried a smaller group. I just upgraded from Elements 4 and I was impressed with some of the features with the organizer and decided to try and use it. I have all my photos organized in folders and sub folders. According to the help information, I should be able to just tell it to download all my photos, including sub folders and once downloaded, I can click on folders view (can't quite remember exactly what it's called) and I will find all my photos organized the same way. I have Windows XP. I do have a large amount of photos. The first try included all of them for a total of 11,644, but part of these are .pub and .doc files which cannot be download. The last try was 8,843 photos which, again included files that cannot be downloaded. I was really hoping to download my pictures in an already organized way. Is this possible? Is it that it just can't handle downloading that many at a time, or could it be some other problem?

What do you see that tells you the photos didn't import into the Organizer? Do you get an error message? Does the Organizer appear to be empty when you finish importing?
More importantly, this is not the correct process when moving from PSE4 to PSE8. You need to convert your PSE4 catalog. To do this, open PSE8 and select File->Catalog->Convert.
My advice is to forget importing existing photos into the Organizer, and convert the catalog as described above.

Can't Download Photos from my Camera into iPhoto

Hi, I've been trying to download my photos from my Casio Exilim camera into iPhoto. Whenever I do, iPhoto shows me that the photos are downloading, but at the end it shows me an error message saying, "Error Downloading Image: iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading the image". I've also tried to access my camera from the desktop, and copy it to another folder, but I had no success with that either.
Thanks.

Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder)? Have you tried a USB card reader?
It sounds like your card format probably is bad - how long has it been since you formatted it?
Once you get your photos off you should use your camera and format it - and in the future do not have iPhoto erase your photos but use your camera to format the card

Where can I find my photos I've imported into iPhoto in Finder

Can anyone tell me where to find the physical location of my pictures that I've imported into iPhoto?

I've backed up my MacBook with Time Machine because I've just purchased a new MacBook Air. Since I have less hard drive space I wanted to transfer only some of the pictures.
Be very careful now.
Time Machine is a rolling back up. It's not an archive. If you restore only part of the Library then eventually the remainder of the Library will be deleted.
To do what you want you'll need an external Hard Drive not used for Time Machine.
Here's one way to do what you want:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
Now you have two full versions of the Library.
3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
Some Notes:
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager
As to the location of the Photos:
By default, your photos are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside? 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.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
FYI:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Why can't I download photos from my journal when it's hosted on my own server?

When I publish my albums to iCloud, I have an icon that appears on the very left when the image is full-screen that allows me to download the image.
When I publich the very same album to my own server by just dropping all the files into a directory, the icon and option to download the image is gone. Is this a limitation of putting your pictures anywhere other than iCloud?

Only thing I can link it to is the Location services. somehow the phone thinks I can't allow anyone to download images that reveal my location... even on my own computer. A programmers oversight, but i can't figure out how to ALLOW it again!

Why can't I import non photographic jpg images into iPhoto?

I'd really love to use this feature as I have some vector based jpgs I'd loive to sue in a calendar! They are now jogs but when I try to import them it says
" the file could not be imported" import failed

What color profile are these pics? This kind of issue is often caused by importing CYMK or Greyscale pics to iPhoto which only supports RGB.
Try open the pic in Preview, then use the Tools -> Inspector to check the color profile.
