Can't Import Photos from Camera or iPhone

This is a recent development. For some reason when I plug in my iPhone or my Canon Power Shot I can't load photos I've taken to iPhoto '09. When I switch users and go to my wife's iPhoto on the same computer, i have no problem loading photos with the same camera (she has no trouble with her Phone). I have had to resort to emailing photos from my wife so that I can then manually load them to iPhoto. I can't even use the pull down menu in email to save photos to iPhoto. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I am having a similar problem. For the last 3 months iPhoto has worked as expected. It automatically starts accessing the pictures from my camera when I plug the USB from the camera into my MacBook. Then I can select which pictures I want to import. The last time I was able to do this function normally was on Sunday of this week.
Now, however, when I plug the USB into the Mac it does not start to automatically access the pictures. I tried the solutions mentioned in this thread already and they didn't resolve it. When I went to the console, I got the following error message last night:
10-03-10 10:49:32 PM [0x0-0xe00e].com.apple.iPhoto[117] Face Detecting 3 OKAO_Detection(0x18756370,data=2304-bytes 0x1c64000,48x48) failed with -3
This morning the error message is:
10-03-11 6:16:47 AM com.apple.WindowServer[56] Thu Mar 11 06:16:47 MY_NAME'S-MacBook.local WindowServer[56] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
The process works when I plug it into our PC so it must be something I have done to the Mac this week. I had added a program requested by Facebook when I uploaded pictures earlier this week. I thought that might be causing the problem so I deleted it as well as some other programs I had installed for Twitter use. Still having problems.
Thanks if anyone can help me.

After downloading yosemite, can't import photos from camera to iPhoto

After downloading Yosemite 10.10.1 to my Macbook Air, I can't import photos from camera to iPhoto. Had no problem before. It recognizes camera and says loading, but it never does load photos.

That's the latest version.

How can I import photos from camera to computer?

The "Get Photos" selection has disappeared from my Elements 9 screen. How can I import photos from my camera to my computer?

Yes, the entire top bar disappeared. I no longer see the place to click to
initiate the import, and I don't see the place to select the camera from
which to import or the place where I used to select a file or create a new
file in which to save the pictures when they are imported. I clicked
Organize when I entered the program, but everything looks slightly
different. What can I do. I certainly don't want to jeopardize over 3,000
photos installed.
Thanks.

Can't import photos from camera -"Insufficient disk space on volume"?

Please excuse my ignorance if there is a fix for this that I haven't found here.... I reinstalled iLife '11 yesterday because iPhoto would not recognize the camera. Now it recognizes the camera but it won't import the photos. I've tried all the suggestions, trashed the cache, the preference file, restarted, created a new library and I still can't import the photos from the camera to iPhoto because it says "insufficient disk space on volume." I have plenty of space on my hard drive. I can import through Image Capture but why go the extra step when importing to iPhoto was so very easy before? Can anyone help with this?

This has been reported - not sure if there ever was a solution or not - search the forums to find the threads
you can try renewing the iPhoto preference file to see if that helps -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Can't import photos from camera

I was downloading some photos from my Digital Rebel XSi with no problems. Then I switched cards and all of a sudden, it wouldn't load the photos. I could still view the photos on the camera, so they were definitely there. It was as if Aperture just didn't want to try to load anything. I opened up iPhoto and Image Capture and it was the same story, they just didn't load the photos. I restarted the computer and opened up Image Capture. This time there was at least a progress bar and a waiting for camera. It did load the photos this time, however I hit Download All, it went to the progress bar and thumbnail display as normal, but it zoomed through all the photos in seconds and didn't actually download anything. Luckily I had turned off "delete from camera after downloading" or I may have lost everything. I plugged the camera into my iBook G4 and downloaded the photos no problem with Image Capture. Both computers are running OS X 10.5.7 and Aperture, iPhoto and RAW compatibility are at their latest versions.

Try this workflow as described below in an earlier post of mine:
I feel pretty strongly that card-to-Aperture or camera-to-Aperture handling of original images puts originals at unnecessary risk. I suggest this workflow, first using the Finder (not Aperture) to copy images from CF card to computer hard drive:
• Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it into a memory card reader. Faster readers and faster cards are preferable.
• Finder-copy images from memory card to a labeled folder on the intended permanent Masters location hard drive.
• Eject memory card.
• Burn backup hard drive or DVD copies of the original images (optional strongly recommended recommended backup step).
• Eject backup hard drive(s) or DVDs.
• From within Aperture, import images from the hard drive folder into Aperture selecting "Store files in their current location." This is called "referenced images." During import is the best time to also add keywords, but that is another discussion.
• Review pix for completeness (e.g. a 500-pic shoot has 500 valid images showing in Aperture).
• Reformat memory card in camera, and archive originals off site on hard drives and/or on DVDs.
Note that the "eject" steps above are important in order to avoid mistakenly working on removable media/backups.
Also note with a Referenced-Masters Library that use of the "Vault" backup routine backs up the Library only, not the Masters. Masters should be separately backed up, IMO a good thing from a workflow and data security standpoint.

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

Can't import photos from camera using PS 7

PS 7 will not import photos (have used it for years) ... appears to be trying to force unwelcome Revel conversion. Is there a way to bypass this?

Sounds like your talking about photoshop elements 7?
If so, you should post over in the photoshop elements forum, since you posted in the full photoshop forum.

Can't import photos from camera to UNIX server in Mavericks

We have a mixed network in our office with a Windows 2008 server and a UNIX server. Before Mavericks, I was able to connect a camera or my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and download jpg files to either server. Since the upgrade to Mavericks, the files are transferred ok to the Windows server, but end up as 0k files on the UNIX box. Using one of the older computers running Snow Leopard, the photos download just fine.
If I use Image Capture to transfer direct from the camera to the UNIX box, I get no error mesage, but 0k files.
If I download to the Mac and then copy/paste to the UNIX box, I get the following error message, and no file transfer at all.
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “P1050238.JPG” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
Anybody any idea what is happening, and how to solve this issue?

Can't text photos from camera roll (iPhone 5, new ios)

I go to photos, select a photo, select the button in the bottom left hand corner, select message, type in a contacts name, hit send - AND NOTHING. It's like I'm not hitting send at all. Then it goes back to camera roll.
Anyone...?

ohhhh yes, I have been looking for someone with this problem. This has haunted me since iOS 7 and Iphone 5. This carried through to my new iphone 5S. of course all apple tells me to do, is SIMPLE, just erase the phone erase all settings and dont restore from an older version. OH, ok apple that sounds so SIMPLE instead of apple just FIXING the problem ill spend a whole day starting from scratch on my phone back to factory setting and then it STILL doesn't work. Got to love apple!!
This does the same thing when trying to share anything via text message from within other apps like Maps also. BUT! we are on 7.2.2 NOW and guess what! Its still NOT fixed!! YAY apple!!
After I restart my phone it does work for like 3 days and then it stops. I know when it has reverted back to not working because if you notice, when you share within photo album or Maps and you select the persons name to send, it stalls and takes like 5 seconds to load the previous messages from the conversation.. right away I know that I am going to have to CUT and PASTE into the messaging app manually to get it to send. SUCH A PAIN APPLE!!! FIX PLEASE

HT201302 how can i import photos from iphone to pc

how can i import photos from iphone to pc?

For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then on a PC you should be able to use the Windows Camera Wizard or just copy them via Windows Explorer (there is more info on this page).
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

Can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 after upgrade to 10.5.1

I can't import photos from my iPhone into iLife '08 anymore after upgrade to 10.5.1.
It used to work great...now this. Sad, sad, sad I am.
I tried the "FIX" of refreshing phone and sync history, but it DID NOT WORK for me. HELP!
Please help, somebody.

I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP. My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all. The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account.
I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck. (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.

Can i import photos from my PC to iPhone?

Can i import photos from my PC to iPhone?

You can send photos from a PC to an iPhone several ways. One is to use a USB cable and iTunes: Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
Another method is via 3rd party software such as http://www.photosync-app.com/

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.

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.

How can I import photos from my iPhone?
I was able to use iPhoto to import from my iPhone on my old MacPro, but iPhoto does not seem to work on my new iMac.

How are you trying? There are two ways: by hooking it up with a USB cord, or by photo streaming.

How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
Here is one such utility.
