Can not import photos from Canon camera to iphoto '11

When connecting my Canon to iphoto '11 I click on the "Import photos" button and get the following message:
Unreadable files: 113
The following files could not be imported. The file is an unrecognized format.
This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I've done nothing different that I'm aware of. They are all jpegs.
Any ideas?

I just had the same issue with an S-90 (I also have never had this problem before.) and had to use a card reader (my iMac has one built in) instead of importing through the camera. The built-in card reader worked with no problem.

I can't import photos from my camera to iphoto

When I try to import my photos from my nikkon digital camera memory card to iphoto it starts downloading but after about 100 pictures a message appears saying error downloading image - iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image. I've tried to import a few at a time and it worked with some but with most the same message keeps appearing. What do you think could be the problem? How can I fix it?

Make sure your HDD is not near full, my wife is queen of this. Take your un-frequency used photos and move them to an external HDD, you are probably getting too full on your internal.
Drives are cheap, allows you to keep your priceless photos, avoiding a catastrophic loss. This will be an easy storage trasnfer, which will you free you up to use your internal drive.
My wife has done this before and now she keeps her HDD clean, which allows her to use her MAC as a trasnfer-station.
Try this and maybe it will help you out, but, do it soon, before your HDD crashes, and you loose all your stuff.
Also, spend the smal amount of money to buy a back up drive for your photos/music.
Also make sure you spend the small amount of money to buy a Timemachine backup drive.
If you ave plenty of HDD space, make sure you have the latest RAW camera drivers installed, which can be downloaded from the Apple Support site.
All the Best

I can not download photos from my camera on iPhoto '09 after downloading iCloud on my iPad

I have iPhoto '09 on my G5
There are no updates for iPhoto that I can use because my G5 cannot upgrade to lion
Since I downloaded I cloud on my iPad I can no longer add photos to my library on any of my devices
Help!

Have you tried restoring your iPad to factory settings to remove iCloud in order to get it back to the before iCloud setup?
I can no longer add photos to my library on any of my devices
What devices would those be and how many libraries do you have?

I downloaded the newest version of camera raw for LR. I have LR4 and can not import photos from my new Nikon D750. The download said it was sucessful but I still can not import photos.

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. So downloading the latest Camera Raw didn't do anything at all for you. The only way to update or upgrade Lightroom is to obtain the latest version. If you have Lightroom 4 then the last version of Lightroom you can have at no additional cost is Lightroom 4.4.1. If the camera you are using requires anything newer than what is supported and that version of Lightroom then it will require an upgrade to Lightroom 5.

I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop. But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now. Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore? I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help. I really, really appreciate it.

I can't import photos from my camera in aperture.Nothing is happening when I plug the camera into the computer. This has not happened before.

All of a sudden, I can't seem to import photos from my Canon to Aperture. Nothing is happening. This hasn't happened before. What can I do?

All of a sudden, I've got the same problems too. Canon EOS camera connected via USB to Aperture, and nothing happens. I've got Aperture running, and using System Profiler the camera shows up on the USB tree. Using Image Capture the camera shows up briefly, but then disappears. I know it's not a battery problem with the camera, since it's fully charged and it's not a USB problem since the cable works for everything else.

I can not import videos from my camera or open them... quits finder

So i have a canon powershot SD300 and I can't import videos from it using I photo (the program quits)... so I used the camera software and when I go to click on it to show review, or try and open the video files (avi-quicktime) my finder quits! What's up with that? I have added an Xvid update so I could run Xvid files... I don't know if that would do anthing. Can anyone help?

JordanFox,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Your friend is correct; iPhoto 2 does not handle video files. You'll need at least iPhoto 5 to keep videos in your library. There is no other way to get it than to purchase a copy of iLife, either version 5 or version 6. Upgrades from one version to another cost money, updates within a version (ex; 6.0 to 6.0.6) are free downloads from Apple.
Try using Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload the video clips to your Mac. You can manage them yourself in your Movies folder.
Regards.

Can't import photos from my camera since the update, says file is unrecognizeable

Since the recent photos update, I can no longer import photos from my Kodak Easyshare camera. Previously all I had to do was plug it into the Mac, turn it on and it would import with no problems. Now it is telling me that the files are unreadable or something. I don't know how to find the camera as a device on the Mac when its plugged in, to go at the problem that way. Not sure what to do at this point. Getting frustrated.

Yes it is OS X Yosemite 10.10.3
Then use either of my recommendations above. If you decide to get a card reader (I'd recommend this!) then simply insert the card into it, connect the reader to the Mac and use Photos import feature and import from the card. If you need additional help using Photos please use the Photos forum, you can get there by clicking Photos for Mac

Can't import photos from kodak camera, after4 years of successful? importing

I have been using a Kodak Z740 camera for last few years . I now find that while I can see the photos on the camera review, when I import them to iPhoto, I can only see blank thumbnails. Yet if I deep dive into Picture folders I can find them eventually.
I also use iPhone for photos and no issues there.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you read any of the other topics regarding the Kodak Easyshare?
iPhoto no longer recognizes photos from my Kodak EasyShare V803
Just do a search in the form for "Kodak Easyshare" and you'll get lots of posts.

Can't import photos from finepix A345 to iPhoto or Finepix viewer mac ibook

I had previously imported photos from my fuji finepix A345 camera to iPhoto on my macBookPro 10.4.9. Now I am trying to import new images from the same camera and iPhoto displays a message "no photos to import". I have installed Finepix viewer but it also shows no images to import. I have tried creating a new library on a second non admin account and still iPhoto says "no images to import". I was able to successfully import the same images to my thinkpad T41.
Please help me find a way to import photos from finpix A345 to my mac ibook pro. Note there are no movies in the photos I am trying to import. Thanks.

Are you sure there are images on the card you're importing from? (asking that just in case you chose to 'delete after download' with another computer).
Also, have you perhaps formatted the camera drive/card via another computer instead of from the camera itself?
If your MBP can read the card so can your Macbook. You might want to open 'Image Capture', then go to Preferences and make sure you have an application selected to 'launch' when a camera is connected.

How can I importer photo from galaxy mobil to iphoto?

How can I transfer/importer photo from mobile Galaxy samsung to iphoto?

Hello,

Can't import photos from my iPhone to iPhoto.

Usually once I connected my iPhone, iPhoto is automatically opened and all the pictures can be imported. However, now the pictures won't show in iPhoto anymore. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Same problem here: upgraded from 4.3.x to iOS 5.1 (iPhone 3GS), now I can't import photos taken on iPhone. Neither with iPhoto nor with Lightroom - they both do see the connected iPhone tough. However they both claim that there are 0 photos found.
That's on OS X 10.6.8, iPhoto '11 (latest v 9.2.3), iTunes 10 (10.6.1) - or in other words: all updates installed. However I remember a quick test with the iPhone 4 from my girlfriend also found no photos on her device (also iOS 5.1) (so it can't be a 3GS issue only).
I do have "sync over WiFi" enabled, but all iCloud services are turned OFF.
I am pretty sure it must be the fault of iOS 5.1. Off course the phones were unlocked at the time of import. Also re-connecting the USB cable did not show any success. Also made sure that no sync was going on during the photo import attempt.

Can not import photos from camera to iPhoto

When I connect my camera to import photos, I get a message with a red stop sign that has an exclamation mark in the center saying, "The disk inserted was not readable by this computer". It then asks if I want to initialize, ignore, or eject the disk.
I have a Panasonic DMC-FX33 Lumix camera and it worked fine until I updated my Intel Mac Pro to Snow Leopard and iPhoto 09. It still works fine on my Intel laptop that has OSX 10.5.8 and iPhoto 6 (6.0.6).
Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

That is a bit odd.
_Import all the picture off the camera using the other computer (you can transfer them to the other computer later).
_Using the camera, reformat the media card
_Take a snap shot and test with the new computer again
__If it works there was something off in the formatting of the media card

Upgraded to 10.6.8 and now can't import photos from Olympus camera

1. Recently bought a new Olympus VR310 digital camera. I couldn't get either Image Capture (6.0.1) or iPhoto (9.1.5) to import images from day one, onto my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. However, if I took the SDHC card out of the Olympus and put it into an older Canon Ixus digital camera , and used that to upload, then both Image Capture and iPhoto worked perfectly. So it's not the card. Or the USB connection. It's something special to the Olympus and the Mac. Obviously I tried all the usual stuff about dumping plist files etc. Nothing worked.
2. The problem manifests itself, when the Olympus is connected, as Image Capture being unable to show more than one, if any, thumbnails, and it is unable to import at all. In iPhoto the problem manifests immediately it calls up the Olympus as a connected camera. The dreaded spinning beachball of death kicks off, and the program 'stops responding'. Even after I quit iPhoto and unmount the Olympus, iPhoto will not open without the spinning ball of death until I restart.
3. Anyway, I tried connecting the Olympus to my son's Macbook, (System 10.6.7, Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.1) and all worked perfectly. Hmm… so it's NOT just down to the Olympus. It's something to do with my setup.
4. I also have a bootable USB drive connected to the Mini, so I booted into that, so I then have my computer and my user preferences etc running under the bootable drives System 10.6.6, Image Capture 6.0.1, and iPhoto 9.1.5. That worked perfectly with the Olympus too. So it's not my the combination of my user settings, Image Capture 6.0.1, or iPhoto 9.15, or the Olympus.
5. My guess then was it was some corruption of the system on the Mac Mini. So I reinstalled the Mac Mini system, from the install DVD, so I had a nice fresh Snow Leopard 10.6.0. That gave me Image Capture 6.0.1 and iPhoto 9.1.5. When I attached the Olympus, everything worked perfectly. Great.
THEN, I updated the system from Apple's Oftware Update, all the way to 10.6.8, which is where I started from.
6. And guess what. Nothing works anymore. Immediately before the update, the Olympus importing worked. Immediately afterwards it didn't. I'm back where I was at the beginning, with exactly the same problem.. I can't import from the Olympus but the Canon is fine. (see 1 and 2 above)
So, it seems to me that the Upgrade straight to 10.6.8 is what caused the problem. And given I could get the Olympus to work on my son's computer (system 10.6.6) it's something between 10.6.6 and 10.6.8. Why the Canon works on all the permutations, and not the Olympus, I don't know. I don't know why the Olympus ONLY doesn't work with 10.6.8.
7. Obviously there are tedious workarounds (but none that lets iPhoto capture the photos directly) which I can use to get the images into iPhoto eventually, but hey, this is an Apple Mac, who wants to be doing tedious workarounds all the time.
I've had Macs since 1984 (I'm that old…) so I'm a fan, and I'm reasonably competent, but this has me stumped.
Any ideas, anyone.
Any help much appreciated.

You launched iPhoto and from its Preferences you selected Connecting camera opens.....
