Can't import vertical photos, they appear black

Hi,
I'm using Iphoto 9.2.1 with lion 10.7.2.
I can't import any vertical photos on iphoto. Instead, I have a black icon and all the files weight 329 ko. They appear perfectly normal on my desktop, and if I rotate to have them horizontal on my desktop, I can import them on iphoto, they appear normally (but horizontal, of course).
I have no problem with the same files on another computer with an older version of iphoto.
Has anyone a solution?
I don't want to change manually all my vertical photos to horizontal and then to vertical for the rest of my computer's lifetime!
thank you!

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Now you can find your Home/Library/Preferences folder and the iPhoto preference file.

  • I can't import vertical photos:why?

    i can't import vertical photos:why?

    Not on the origina as it will essentially be a tif in jpeg's clothing.  But if you make an edit it will go thru a jpeg compression. Whether you'll be able to see the reduction in resolution is another matter.
    I ran a test and changed a tiff file to .jpg and it was useabel in iPhoto, Acorn, Xee, GraphicConverter but not PhotoShop or Photoshop Elements.  So you can change the extension on all of those portrait photos but be sure to convert to a JPG when you export them out of iPhoto for use.  Don't know how other apps will react to such a hybred file.
    One plan of action would be to import them into iPhoto and then export out as tiffs  right away. Then import back in and see if all is OK.

  • I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

    I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

    I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

  • I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I  import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

    I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

    in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
    What program are you using to import the photos?
    If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
    For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

  • 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.

    I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) to my iPad, this problem is recent. I have imported photos without  problem a problem before. Is this problem due to the IOS 6 update? How can I fix it?

  • I can't import my photos from my iPhone 4 by iPhoto or image capture

    i can't import my photos from my iPhone 4 by iPhoto or image capture.
    i tried to import but in iphoto or image capture, there is no iphone in device list (they can't reconize iphone)
    but itunes reconize my iphone.
    p.s. my iphoto, iOS, OS X are newest version.

    Hi,
    I had this problem.
    I don't know the best way to resolve this but i tell you how i did it.
    1 - I saved my iphone on the mac.
    2 - I restaure it with 5.0.1
    3 - Itunes have restaured the origin ios 5.0.1 and use the save to restaure the apps, datas, photos...
    After the restaure, the iphone was seen on itunes and iphoto and others...
    Best regards, Henry.

  • Some iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream are black

    I'm seeing a whole bunch of iPhone 4S photos imported via Photo Stream as black images in latest iPhoto '11.  When I look at the original file in finder, it is intact, however the modified one is just a black image (which is what shows up in iPhoto).
    This is very concerning.  I'm now manually re-importing all my 4S photos.
    Strangely, the same photos that appear black in iPhoto Photo Stream are fine on my iPad and iPhone Photo Stream view.
    So it seems that iPhoto is breaking them when it imports them.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Apps on computer but in a different folder.  Can I merge them?I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find".  They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them.  Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

    I have 180 apps that iTunes can no longer "find".  They appear in "my apps" and there is a file location for them.  Can old purchases be restored without doing each one individually?

    That did the trick! Thank you.
    The free trial is all I needed to migrate my iPod Touch library into my main iTunes library. For those that want to use this tool for the same needs there are some things that need to be moved manually, e.g. Apps. But you can do it within the program very easily. Also iBooks/PDFs etc. need to be moved manually. The help section will point you in the right direction.
    No more switching iTunes libraries for me.

  • 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 !

  • I can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive.

    i can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive. Help please ?

    Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.
