"Add to iPhoto" in Mail doesn't import GPS and Keywords any longer

Since upgrading to Lion and iPhoto11, the keywords and GPS information get's lost when adding photos to iPhoto directly from mail. The information is still there though when I look at the photos with preview.

I had never used the feature but it works just fine for me.
Click the slideshow button and then the iPhoto icon (hidden until you move the mouse). iPhoto launches and the image is placed in the Library (2006) folder.
You can drag it to any other album if you wish.

  • Add to iPhoto in Mail not working

    The « add to iPhoto in Mail 6.2 is not working ».

    That is correct - hoppefully a future OS upgrade will correct it - in the meantime simply drag the photos to the iPhoto icon in the Dock

  • Add To iPhoto in Mail fails for iPhone photos sent in multiple emails

    Someone takes six photos with an iPhone and emails them to you.
    You get 6 emails. Each one has a photo.jpg image attached.
    You click the SAVE pop-down menu in the Mail message and choose Save To iPhoto. The photo is imported into iPhoto. You delete that email and do the same thing with the second email with the second photo...
    BUT, somewhere the Mail-iPhoto smartness turns dumb, as the rest of the photos will not show up in iPhoto. (This may have something to do with the fact that the iPhone sends each photo with the attachment name of photo.jpg and somehow Mail or iPhoto think that photo has already been added to iPhoto).
    I was having this problem with photos emailed to me by iPhone users and tested it myself.
    Sure enough, after the first photo.jpg attachment is imported all subsequent Add To iPhoto operations of iPhone sent images fail... even if the photos have been sent from separate iPhones from separate email addresses.
    All the attachments are kept by Mail in uniquely numbered folders in the attachments folder of my receiving email account in Library/Mail but since each attachments is named photo.jpg that seems to throw off iPhoto OR Mail (because even the quick progress update of "Adding photo to iPhoto" does not show up on these attempts).
    I checked if quitting and restarting Mail fixed allowed the second photo to be added to iPhoto but it did not. Quitting iPhoto after EACH import/Add To iPhoto operation allowed each photo to be added into iPhoto.
    This may have to do with the iPhoto bugs handling large libraries (I have 19000 images in it) like the spinning wheel of Names window after imports, etc.
    Just sharing if others have the same experience sending 3 iPhone photos by email to themselves and seeing if all can be added to iPhoto from Mail. Thanks.

    Yes it is a bug
    Report to apple. iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    You can work around BR saving to the desktop and importing or opening in quick view, expanding to full screen and saving to iPhoto

  • Can't Add to iPhoto from Mail - function in Mail.app broken?

    I did try several Emails with different .jpg images attached, the option "Add to iPhoto" is visible in the pulldown menue (click "Safe" next to Quick Look), one can select it, but nothing happens.
    No difference if iPhoto is open or not. I did do a permissions repair on the iPhoto library (9.4.1), but no change.
    My system is at 10.8.2 with the recent supplement.
    I checked the Console for error log entries, but could not locate something fitting.
    Any suggestion how to fix? Or is it a bug?

    Hi bibben.
    Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
    1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
    2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
    3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

  • Since update to version 4.3.3 mail doesn't start up and doesn't work

    Hi
    Since I updated my Iphone 4 to the software version 4.3.3, Mail doesn't work out good anymore.
    It is the only thing which doesn't work. All other App's are good.
    Mail hang's up if you start it.
    If it starts sometimes, it says for example: 4 mails received, but nothing shows up ...
    Probably somebody else has such problems
    Help would be very nice
    thanks
    regards
    Patrick

    I have the same problem on an iPhone 4 with 4.3.5 update.

  • My iPhoto says it's still importing photos and it won't let my computer shut down, How do I fix this?

    I've been trying to shut my computer down since last night after I unplugged my iphone after it synced, and Iphoto still says it's importing photos even after I stopped the import when the phone was done syncing. Is there any way to fix this? Or do I just need to let the computer completely die and restart it that way?

    Apple Menu -> Force Quit

  • Why does Mail in Mavericks not auto capitalize text any longer?

    Previous versions of mail would automatically capitalize first words of sentences and the word "I" and it no longer does.
    Was there any good reason for not continuing this feature?
    Is there a setting to regain this feature?

    THanks Barnie-15E
    You are a life saver or a mind saver at least. I did as you suggested and confirmed that I could not add "i" with a space and have it correct to a capital I. But what you did do is allow me to check the old computer and it was an option on that one.
    Here is a screen shot of the place to put the check mark and have any lower case i by itself to be a capital I.
    THank you thank you.  (Look at the bottom line of the table under "TEXTS". )
    In the new version of the IOS they did not give the selection ability but free text to allow you more versatility and I have used that for many things, but in doing that they did not include the ability to use a space which took away the ability to capitalize the word "I".
    Maybe they will consider that in the future. If you know anyone who could suggest that please forward this to them.
    Regards

  • "Import GPS from iPhone" no longer working with iPhone 4 & 4S

    Hi-
    Since upgrading to the Iphone 4, the Import GPS from Iphone function has ceased to work.  The phone appears on the import screen, and photos can be imported sucesfully (and the GPS data is embedded correctly on the photo), but when you go to the places window and go to the import gps from iphone function, the window opens like it's trying to bring up the photos but nothing appears.
    This bug continues with the 4S.  This function worked fine with my Iphone 3.
    Has anyone found a work around for this?  I'm surprised this bug has yet to be fixed.
    Thanks
    Matt

    I have the same problem the screen is show something like this:
    And never stops and show any photo.
    In other way i want to use it to create an slideshow that scroll the map showing the photos, it is possible?
    An update soon to fix this problem...
    Thanks...

  • IPhoto on iMac doesn't import all photos from my iPad

    My iPad iPhoto contains approximately 4,500 photos. When I connect with a cable to my iMac, and attempt to import my photos from the iPad to the iMac, it displays that "All 165 photos have been imported."  How do I get the other ~ 4,300 photos onto the iMac?
    Thnks for any help!

    to import they I believe must be in the camera roll
    Try the iPad forum - maybe someone there has a suggestion

  • HT3206 Why will PC no longer automatically ask to upload audio CD content into itunes? It simply stopped while I was importing CDs and will no longer add to library

    Trying to import CDs into itunes and after many years itunes suddenly stopped automatic upload?

    Okay, can someone please give a useful answer? Thanks! I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for some time now, and it is very annoying. Furthermore, I would like to point out to Chris CA that there is absolutely nothing ambiguous about the original post.
    So here is the deal. I used to be able to burn CDs with iTunes that played back fine on both my car and home stereo. After some update, and I am very sorry but I really do not remember which one, as I am just a user and not a programmer and just want something that works, which in the end Apple used to be all about, and therefore do not keep track of all the updates, CDs won't play back on my car stereo. Nothing else changed, still the same brand of CDs (even the same stack!), still the same car stereo, and still the same 2007 MBP. So by simple deduction I conclude it must be a software update. And I do not care what the exact cause is, I just want a fix!
    I'd like to apologize for my tone in the above, but it is just a very annoying problem, even more so because it seems nothing is being done about it. Thanks for your answer in advance!

  • How to import images and keywords from Nikon PictureProject to LR2?

    I have several thousand pictures that I have captured with my Nikon cameras (the present being a D300). I have imported those to my Mac (OS X) using the Nikon PictureProject software. This software has now been discontinued by Nikon, and I have switched to using Lightroom 2 instead.  But when I try to import my photo library from Nikon PictureProject all the keywords describing the images are eliminated and I only get a date and number. This is obviously creating a big problem. Nikon has replied that they have no solution to propose! Has anyone else been exposed to the same difficulty? And has some creative person found a solution?
    Thank you for your assistance!

    Thank you for your help! My wife Marianne who has the problem has used PictureProject in a very special way. She has typed in the keywords on the line where PictureProject gives the basic information about the photo DCS3_7325 for example. Where DCS3 shows it is a digital Nikon camera D300 and the 7325 is the camera's (own I imagine) number for the original photo.
    In front of this my wife has written the description of the photos e.g. "Paris bridges Pont Neuf". (And not in the place provided by PictureProject for keywords.)
    It has been possible to search the photos by typing in the added words.
    Do you think that this additional (not intended by PictureProject) information could be imported to Lightroom2?
    Thank you for using your experience to see if this can be solved.

  • Logic doesn't receive a midi signal any longer

    The whole morning I worked on my project in Logic, using my 2 midi keyboards, no problem. Now suddenly they stopped working. Logic doesn't receive any signal any more. I already did a midi driver reset, restarted the Mac, turned off and on the keyboards, checked the cables. Nothing works. What can be the problem?

    If your MIDI interface does not appear, make sure it is powered on and connected to your computer. If you are running any Classic applications and your USB interface did not appear, quit AMS and all MIDI and Classic applications, shut down the Classic environment (you can do this in the System Preferences). If you did not install Mac OS X drivers for your hardware, you may need to do so.
    If your MIDI interface is grayed out, like the Emagic EMI 6|2 M in the illustration, that means that this interface was previously present when you ran a MIDI application, but the driver could not locate it, or the driver is no longer installed. If the device is present, quit AMS and all MIDI and Classic applications, shut down the Classic environment, and make sure that drivers for your hardware are installed. If you no longer have this hardware, you can select and delete the interface if you like.
    If your MIDI interface appears and is not grayed out, like the Edirol UM-880 in the illustration, this means that your device’s driver has successfully located the hardware and all is well. If you like, you can begin using your MIDI applications without any further setup. In your applications, you will see the names of the hardware ports, as assigned by the driver. In the case of the UM-880, for example, you will see “Port 1,” “Port 2,” etc.
    If Audio MIDI Setup crashes when starting or when you click on MIDI Devices, this is probably because the MIDIServer process has crashed while starting, most likely due to a problematic MIDI driver. Try moving aside 3rd party MIDI drivers. Drivers are normally installed in/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers, though they may also be loaded from\$(HOME)/Library/Audio/MIDI Drivers and/System/Library/Extensions. You might find useful clues as to which driver is crashing in:\$(HOME)/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MIDIServer.crash.log (scroll to the bottom for the most recent crash).

  • Verizon doesn't care about their customers any longer.

    Dear Verizon,
    I need to tell you about two recent experiences I had with Verizon Wireless over the past week.
    First of all, I placed an order for in-store pick up at the Maple Grove, MN location on October 30. I went into the store a few times to try to pick it up. I waited for 40 minutes each time, and left because the store was so busy. I couldn’t get help.
    When I finally picked it up yesterday afternoon, you were very close to losing me as a customer. Jeremy, the sales guy who helped me, was knowledgeable about the phones. I was upgrading at full retail price due to needing a new phone. Where things went wrong was when he continued to try to tell me about your leasing/Verizon Edge program… I told him I was NOT interested, and he kept pushing and pushing.  This is my money, how I choose to spend it, and he was pushing the program very aggressively. When I threatened to leave, he said he didn’t make any money on the deal, and that it was a better business model for Verizon because you don’t have enough money to invest in your network (?) Really? Is that something you want to advertise to your customers?
    So Jeremy backed off, but then the Store Manager started in again with me at the front counter about the program, and I again told him I would gladly walk away from my order and leave. He would not stop either.  Jeremy finally got him to stop, and had I not needed the phone and had a friend with me, I probably would have left. My friend, who is also a Verizon Customer, was just as disgusted as I was with the Sales approach. I think the Maple Grove store is poorly managed, and this was apparent in my sales experiences there this past week, the sales associates’ behavior, and the behavior of the manager himself.
    I stopped shopping at Circuit City years ago because the sales reps were pushing their extended warranty with the same aggressive attitude your employees displayed. They are now out of business. I stopped shopping at Best Buy as well. I would gladly stop shopping at Verizon and switch to AT&T or another competitor if you are having such severe problems investing in your network and need to badger your customers.  I really hope that this is not the way you want to treat your customers?
    Also note, that I went to into the Delano Shock City Cellular Verizon Dealer on 11/1 and they would not honor the $699 price on the Samsung Note III listed on my order confirmation or the Verizon Website. They were charging $801 and $160 for 32 GB Memory Cards. Pretty Crazy. Again, do you want stores like this representing your business and your brand?
    Seriously thinking about canceling all three lines when our contracts are up…You have also removed the contact us feature on your website, so I had to contact you this way... Customer service is evidently a thing of Verizon's past.
    Thanks for listening.

    It's not a hidden fee if it is out in the open, the current way means there is no such thing as a free phone.  The G2 may be on sale for $0 with a coupon, but it is actually $30+tax when you checkout.
    All of my points are completely valid, you are like the typical large corporation these days telling their customers they are wrong. 
    1. Verizon works with LG, Samsung, etc., not Google.  Verizon chose not to support the new Nexus 5 phone because it gets updates directly from Google.  Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile all support the phone.
    2. Verizon advertised quick updates for the Galaxy Nexus when it came out, at one point it took Verizon 6 months to release a new version of Android.  Hardly quick to me.
    3. The HTC One came out MONTHS after it was available for all other carriers in the US.  Then, they charged a full $199 for it even after other carriers had already discounted it, this is a typical Verizon practice.
    4. Verizon is the highest priced carrier, this is a fact.
    5. When LTE was first released I was getting 10-20 mbps down, now I consistently get 1-3 mbps down.  Verizon's LTE, in many areas, is slower than AT&T's HSPA+ 3g service.
