Aperture can't find photos on SD card from Canon XSi

Aperture 2.1.1 can't seem to find any photos on an SD card from a Canon Rebel XSi when I try to Import from the card, which is in a USB card reader. I could swear that Aperture 2.1 was able to find the photos no problem.
I had to manually drag all the photos into a folder and import from the folder.

Ok, I finally figured it out: it's a bug present in both Aperture 2.1 (on a Powerbook G4) and Aperture 2.1.1 (on a 4-core Mac Pro).
If a) Aperture is not currently running AND b) Aperture is selected as the app to run when a camera is connected AND c) you connect a camera, THEN when Aperture opens, it will go into Import mode, and the GUI will be pointed at the camera, but Aperture will in reality be pointed at some random folder in the file system. The tagline at the top of the window will read: 'Import from "a folder" to a new project.' when it should read 'Import from "Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi" to a new project.'
No pictures will be shown for import. A file system column view will be shown, but it will be empty. This is what made me think that the card couldn't be read.
This bug can be worked around. Moving the "Import" GUI bar to the file system section, then back to the camera, will fix things and allow the camera preview images to start appearing. Also, if Aperture is already running when the camera is first connected, the problem does not occur.
I don't know if it matters, but I still have the Aperture "splash" screen enabled, which allows you to pick an activity (Import from Camera, Import from Folder, Just start using Aperture, etc.) before the main GUI comes up. This may or may not affect the appearance of the bug.
I tried the same test with a Nikon P5000 point-and-shoot, and saw the same behavior (i.e. the same bug), so it doesn't appear to depend on any peculiarities of the camera firmware. It's just an out-and-out initialization bug.

Hp 10 plus can't delete photos on SD card from tablet Gallery or Photos

Cannot delete photos on SD card from Gallery or Photos apps. Process says photo deleted but it is still on the SD card!

Hey @JPLAR ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
Sounds like you're running KitKat. If you're using Android 4.4 please see the following:
KitKat and SD cards — what's fixed, what's broken and what's misunderstood.
How can I get Android KitKat to work with my SD cards?
I would suggest trying a different app like ES File Explorer or something similar. KitKat permissions do not allow manipulation of files that are not in the same install directory as the app itself. The Gallery app is on the internal storage while the data is on your SD card, hence the issues.
Hope this helps!

Can't find movies on sd card from Sony nex-5

Recently I've recorded some videos while on vacation and a lot of pictures on the same sd card using a Sony NEX-5.
When I've got home and tryed to upload it to my iPad (3rd generation) the pictures jumped right out to upload, but, for
Some reason I can't find the footage for the videos. I know it's there because I've used the sd card on a PS3 and I was
Able to watch on my tv, via PS3. For some reason iMovie is not recognizing the AVHCD file format or anything at all other
Than the pictures. I don't know if I have to transfer the footage to other format or what am I doing wrong. The movie was recorded
In HD (1080p)! AVCHD. By the way I'm not an expert on it. just a point and shoot kind of guy. So probably I'm the one doing
The wrong thing. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
If you camera doesn't produce one of the above formats, you'll have to do a conversion.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Can't find photo error?

When i try to drag a photo or edit it. They all say "Can't find photo "xxxxxjpg" original cannot be found.
my options are to cancel or look for it. neither works.
any suggestions.

Jerry:
Is this the warning you're getting? If so then it means that you using iPhoto in the alias mode, i.e. not copying the photos into the library folder upon import?
Check iPhoto's advanced preference section and see if it looks like this. If not, then the library just creates alias files pointing to the original's location at the time of import. If that location was the camera and you've subsequently erased the camera you've lost your photos.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

ITunes can't find photos to share on apple tv

iTunes can't find photos to share on Apple TV when photos were moved from iPhoto to the new Photos

Thanks for the suggestion Limnos but you're right that's not the answer...
iTunes Match allows 25,000 songs so I don't think apple see 20,000 as outside the design parameters.
Anyway I'll wait in hope that someone can offer a solution to the path that Finder uses for each different connection as that's where the answer lies, that or a way to change the path of the server in iTuens, but all the forums I have looked at suggest you can't do that?

IPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them.

iPhoto can't find photo even though the thumbnail is present. Any help, there are dozens of photos in my library that won't open as iPhoto can't find them. This is probably a very common question!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We need to know the details of your problem and situation, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you launch iPhoto to open your library?
what fixes have you tried before coming here?
where is you library located?
how long has this been occuring?
did you apple any updates or upgrades just prior?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
What do you see when you click on a thumbnail?

Can't find photo message

I saved my photos to iPhoto & iPhoto Library. I made some albums, arranged them.
I clicked the pictures on the Photos & in the albums, then i see "Can't find photo".
Even though, i tried to see them in Photos besides the new albums.
I still can't find the original photos.
I imported all my photos to my iMac 21" decktop.
I had no problems before with this.
I tried to share my photos through email & facebook, to few people.
Only couple of them recieved them. I don't want to have this problem no more.
Can anyone help me?
Thx,
Susy.

What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Do you have a back up?

Can't find photo's when trying to sync ipad to itunes

can't find photo's when sycing ipad to itunes

I also am having problems. I have the newest ipad (4 and mini both) and also all software is up to date. My itunes is 11.0.5 which is the most up to date version. First off my ipad has over 7 GB of photos on it which is taking up too much space. I want to delete my Photo Library which is apparently all photos off my laptop that got synced to my ipad. The ipad itself will not allow a delete option in this Photo Library. Additionally the new version of itunes does NOT have a Photo tab or option to click or otherwise which photos to sync. It's as if photos through itunes was removed in their new software version. Anyway...... I can not delete or remove from my ipads the photos that came from my main computer.... the only photos able to be deleted are those that I actually took from my ipad. This is also true for my husbands iPhone 5.... Please help Thank you

Where did you put them?
These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you. You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

Can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture, can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture

can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture, can use use photos saved in Aperture 2.1.1 in the new Aperture.
Does anyone out there no if you can merge the libraries? I have two hard drives full of photos saved in the Aperture 2.1.1 library, I have never needed to upgrade. I bought a Mac desktop and purchased the new aperture. When I plug the hard drive in and try to use the other ones from the earlier version, the computer says files are incomplatible..
Can anyone help?

When AP 3.0 was released, Apple added a new rendering engine and the local adjustment brushes. Upgrading at that time required that the library be upgraded also to use the new features. Users had the option of upgrading the library database (and internal support files) only, or to opt for updating all images to allow use of the local adjustment features (brushes) on those images.
There have been additional updates that required the library to be updated also (AP 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 if memory serves). There may have been a couple of additional ones, but those 3.x updates added key features.
I suspect you may need to update your current library to AP 2.1.4 > make a copy for backup > upgrade library to AP 3. You may be able to upgrade directly from 2.1.4 to 3.4.1, but I am not sure since I went from 2.1.4 to 3.0.
If you have OS X 10.8.2 on the new machine, I am not sure if AP 2.1.4 can be run (hopefully others can answer that one). Merging and exporting projects as a library were one of the features in AP 3, so you must have a library at that level to do that type of procedure.
Here is a link to the update features and you will see some recommendations at the bottom for upgrading the libraries for use with AP 3.
