    I have detele the iPhoto cache from user/library/caches/com.apple.iPhoto but it made no difference.
    Any advice is welcome.

    Yes, I did solved the problem. It was not with iPhoto but with the iTunes. Once I delete my phone profile all worked. I did not write the steps down but if you do it please post it here.

  • Import photos from iphoto to LR5?

    How do you import photos from iphoto to Lr5?

    The first step is to find out where are your images stored. Go to Applications/iPhoto and right-click on “show package
    You should now be able to see the iPhoto “library.”
    The next step is to decide if you want to keep the images where they are or move them to a new location. Using Adobe Lightroom you can accomplish both tasks. You can MOVE the images to a fast and reliable external hard drive or onto your computer hard drive in an “images” folder (or whatever you have called you parent folder for all your images).
    In Adobe Lightroom’s Import dialog, navigate to the folder that contains you iPhoto Library, make sure MOVE is selected, and select the new destintion on the drive you want to move them to (the External or your Hard drive)
    The pictures will be MOVED from the iPhoto location, and imported  through Lightroom.

  • I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

    I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

  • Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

    Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import  Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

    After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
    That is a good news.  We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
    But this is puzzling:
    I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
    iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
    Underneath the box is written:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library    Create New    Choose
    I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not?  Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it?  Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?

  • IPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras.

    iPhoto will no longer import photos from any of my another cameras after importing photos from my iTouch.

    Does the camera mount to the desktop so you can look to see what is there? Have you tried Image capture (in your applications folder) to import the photos? Have you tried unchecking hide previously imported to see what that shows? Do you have a USB card reader to try? When did you last reformat your memory card?
    If you can get the photo off the card using any method do so and tehn use yoru camera's format command to reformat the card

  • I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5v or photoshop

    i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

    Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
    Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
    Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
    Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
    If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
    Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
    Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
    Highlight your card.
    Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
    Then start the import.

    There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
    When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
    If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

  • I cannot import photos from my Cannon PowerShot A80

    I cannot import photos frpm my Cannon PowerShot A80. I have imported many photos from this camera in the past. I get an unrecognized fromat error message.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Sounds like the camera memory card (CompactFlash) contains one or more corrupted image files.
    If the images are not important, you may be able to correct the problem by reformatting the memory card with the camera setup menu. Of course that will destroy any images currently on the card.
    If you choose to do that, quickly do a few test images and try importing them to verify that the card was successfully reformatted and that the test images can correctly be imported.
    There are utility programs designed to recover images from flash memory.
    One of my flash cards came with a free one (for Windows) that I use.
    Of course there are also paid programs and data recovery services.
    A quick search revealed this link. I downloaded, installed it, and recovered a deleted file, but I have not used the free version extensively, so I cannot vouch for it, or the paid upgrade.

  • Cannot import photos from CF card (raw) LR 2.5

    After i installed 2.5 update, suddenly LR will not import photos from my CF cards.  These raw files can be seen with preview, but when I try to import them Lightroom seem to be converting images to DNG, but after that process message appears saying that LR could`.t import  I have tried rebooting the iMac running Leopard O.S., but it made no difference.  I also tried deleting the Lightroom preference file, that didn`t help eather. 
    CF cards are working perfectly with 2,4 version, on MacBook Pro..
    Does anybody have a solution?

    I thought so too, but images was not to find on my hard drive..
    Funny thing is when i tried to import regular JPG files from some other SD card, it worked perfectly.
    I always shoot in raw, and i always choose to convert to DNG while importing.
    I am suspecting that it might be something wrong with this new raw update!
    The exact massage i get after LR has converted to DNG:
    "Could not copy a file to the requested location"
    under that all of de NEF files are listed

  • Cannot import photos from anywhere!

    I tried importing photos from my camera and iPhoto "quits unexpectedly", Numerous times. I've repaired disc permissions, trashed preferences, restarted, and nothing helps. Does anyone have any ideas what to do?

    Pamela:
    Have you tried using Image Capture to upload the photos to the Desktop first and then import from there into iPhoto. If it works then there's a glitch in the communication between the camera and iPhoto which will have to be addressed. Give it a try and report back.
    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.

  • Since installing snow leopard I cannot import photos from Kodak camera anymore..

    I recently upgraded from 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. Previously I had no problems importing photos from my old Kodak Easyshare camera into i-photo, but I now get an "unreadable files" message when I try to import photos. Is there any way to solve this please?

    This could be your SD card in the camera.  Often, if the SD cards needs to be reformatted, this can occure. 
    You can try importing the images in Image Capture.  If this works, I would suggest reformatting the SD card, or replacing the SD card.
    Try opening the application "Image Capture"
    - you should see the camera in the left hand column - select it
    - the images should load on the screen
    - in the bottom middle menu / "import to" , change to "iPhoto", then click "import" or "import all" or "download some" or "download all"
    - iPhoto will bounce, and display what is being imported

  • I cannot import photos from my cell to iPhoto 9.6

    After upgrading to Yosemite on my Macbook, I had to update iPhoto to 9.6. Since doing this, iPhoto will not import photos from my phones. Anyone have similiar problem and solution?

    MBP early 2011/10.10
    iphone 4S 8.1
    iCloud drive
    This has really been annoying me too.  The problem cropped up with the last Mavericks update.  Since then my phone never mounts in iPhoto.  It used to mount just like any camera, when I plugged it into a usb port.  Now, nothing.   Getting photos into iPhoto by sending them to iCloud and then down into iPhoto is very indirect and frankly isn't working worth a darn.  I'm not blaming anything in particular because I do not know for certain what is causing the problem.  I really like things to work though.  And, I really like having all my photos on my computer.
