Can't import some photos?

In iMovie 09 I can't import certain photos from iPhoto library (or directly in Finder). Some photos when dragged into the Project Pane just don't get added to the project. All my photos are jpgs and they're all larger than the project resolution I'm using.
Some photos do work - and I just can't work out what the distinction is. Is it a bug - or is there something with the type of photo I'm using.
I didn't have this problem in iPhoto 08 - does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
PS I've got Advanced Tools enabled

Have you tried deleting iPhoto's and iMovie's preference files?
(Found at Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist; and com.apple.imovie.plist)
With both iPhoto and iMovie closed, drag these plist files to the trash. New ones will be created when you reopen the apps.
The iMovie plist file may say iMovie8 or 9. Be sure to trash the correct one.
I had this happen to me 2 nights ago. None of my photos would import into iMovie. Trashing iM's plist resolved the issue.

  • Can't import some photos from iPhoto to iPad

    I can't import some jpg from iPhoto to iPad. It gives me an error message that the photo can't be displayed on an iPad. There also doesn't seem to be a way to reformat them in iPhoto. They are just jpegs downloaded from a digital camera.

    Deleting the photo cache from the computer and then re-trying the photo sync has worked for some people - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is described on this page

  • Need help - can't import some photos into iPhoto - getting error msg

    I have a lot of photos on my computer. Most of them are in my iPhoto, but I can't seem to load all of the photos in there and integrate them al. I am getting an error message. The jist of the message is that they are unreadable and that they cannot be imported. The photos are jpegs. I am kind of at a loss as to why these photos are not getting imported.
    Does it have anything to do with where the photos were taken from? What I mean is that when I have current photos on the camera, they will go directly to iPhoto. What about the ones that are copied to my hard drive from another computer? Those I can't seem to integrate into my library. An suggestions? Thanks.

    whatsupdut?
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Are these troublesome files in the iPhoto Library Folder? Are you putting files in there hoping to see them in iPhoto?
    iPhoto is a database, the images have to be imported (File -> Add to Library) before they can be seen. Also, as a precaution against duplication, iPhoto will not import pics from the iPhoto Library Folder, so move them out to the desktop and then import them.

  • Help. I downloaded the OS lion. Then I imported some photos with the "iPhoto". But I see only the photos in the "last import" but I can not see in the library or photos of events, although they are marked as a number.

  • Please help... For some reason I can not import any photos on to my elements 10 organier.

    Please help... I can not import any photos on to my elements 10 organizer, it is saying files corrupt!!!!! What do I do?????  I have am using an apple, and i usually always get photos from iphoto but it is just not doing it. Please help!

    How are you trying to import the files? Are you using the import from iphoto command? What happens if you export the photos from iphoto to the desktop and use from files and folders? Does it work that way?

  • Can't see some photos in Organizer - Photoshop 9

    In Organizer, I am using the "Folder Location" display view. I imported some photos from a folder by doing the following: I right clicked on the folder from which I wanted to import the photos and then left clicked on "Import to Organizer." When the process was done, I then clicked on "Show All." With that folder highlighted, only the thumbnails of some of the photo files from that folder appear (that folder highlighted) on the Orgnaizer screen. Other thumbanils of photos in that folder do not appear on the screen. I can verify this by right clicking on the folder in question and then left clicking on "Reveal in Explorer" which shows all the photo files in the folder in question. Also, no "Keyword Tags" are checked. The photos that do not appear from the folder in question are ones that have copies in other folders.
    1) What could be causing this problem of some photos in a folder not appearing in the Organizer screen using the "Folder Location" display view and that folder being highlighted?
    2) How can I be sure that all photos from a given folder appear in Organizer when I use the "Folder Location" display view in Organizer?
    Thanks.

  • How can I transfer some photos from PE11 to be saved on my new IPad?

    How can I transfer some photos from PE11 to be saved on my new IPad? I know I can use Adobe Revel but that relies on an Internet connection. The person I wish to show the photos do not have internet connection.

    You can use iTunes on your local computer to transfer photos:

  • Can't import some MP3s into Centrale

    $Can't import some MP3s into Centrale?I've been using Centrale with my X-Fi for a couple of years and have managed to tag and import 000s of mp3s wothout problem. I recently downloaded 2 series of podcasts from Absoluteradio and despite all attempts, can't import them.
    I've double checked the tags - no problem. I can drag the podcasts into Centrale and transfer them directly onto the X-Fi and they play fine.
    Whenever I try importing them to the library, all that happens is that the message 'transferring to library' flashes up at the bottom of the Centrale window and the counter at the bottom right very quickly counts up from of 30, 2 of 30 etc.. But the?author, album or tracks never actually get imported.
    Any idea what could be different about these podcasts? I've checked properties to make sure they're not protected.
    If anyone would like to help me diagnose this, the podcasts are at www.absoluteradio.co.uk - examples are the Baddiel & Skinner and Dave Gorman series.
    Thanks
    David

    Try to play a few of them in another player to verify that they are good MP3s. If so, treat them with a tag cleanup program such as MP3 Validator, and then iTunes will usually accept them.

  • Can't import iPhone photos into iPhoto because of permission...

    I go in iPhoto, click on the iphone then click on import all and then I get this error message which i will translate from French.
    ''iPhoto ne peut pas importer vos photos dans cette photothèque car iPhoto ne peut pas y accéder.''
    iPhoto can not import your photos in this library because iPhoto can not access it.
    Then it says : Repair your library authorisation in iPhoto.
    So i tried to cmdaltclick on iphoto and repair permissions...but it doesn't work.
    Thnx for the help !
