Cannot import photos to iphoto because it says there was an error downloading an image.

I cannot access my photos through image capture either. I'm trying to import from my iphone 5 with the latest update to a macbook running on 10.6.8.

if neither iPhoto nor Image Capture can import from your iPhone, the problem may be with the iPhone. Is the iPhone properly charged? Are you using the original cable?
Restart or reset the iPhone:
See this page:  restart your device  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
reset your device
Try to transfer one of the photos by Wi-Fi - put it into a Dropbox or use the Photo Stream. Then you can try, if iPhoto can open the transfered photo, and you can check, if the photos are problematic -wrong color profile or something.

    I am trying to download and install the iOS 7.1 software that was sent thought general on my iPad 4 th generation it keeps saying there was an error downloading it, what do I do now?

    First try resetting your iPad and then try updating again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If it still will not work, try updating using iTunes. But before you do that, disable your firewall and your antivirus software, then try the update again.

  • CS5 - unable to download update for PS (12.0.4) or RAW (6.7) - it just says "There was an error downloading this update. Quit and try again later." I've been trying again for a month.

    I have no idea what to do.
    I stick with CS5 because it does what I need and does not lock me into a financial arrangement over which I have do not have control.
    My software is registered. I have used and updated it without problems since I bought it direct from Adobe
    Any idea what I might do?
    Jeff

    If you're trying to update through the Help menu > Updates, you should know that the Adobe auto updater in CS5 and earlier versions is an unmitigated, monumental piece of cr@p. It Is totally unreliably and fails in one or another of a great variety of ways.
    Adobe began to get their act together as of CS6, with which I'm staying for exactly the same reason you are staying with CS5.
    One has to update manually, by looking for, downloading and applying any and all applicable updates, including the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in which comes separately.
    If the latter is what you've been doing, you need to let us know where you are trying to download the update from, what browser you are using to attempt to effect the download, and what platform you are in.
    You also need to disable any and all virus protection, and make sure you are not behind any active software or hardware Fire Wall.
    This is the URL for Photoshop Macintosh updates:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh
    and for Windows:

    Next time, please be substantially more informative, rather than plaintive or narrative (see next post).  You are not addressing Adobe here.
    Thank you.

  • My app says there was an error downloading and the app isn't appearing in my launchpad

    I downloaded two app games; civilization V and Lego Star Wars complete saga while at the airport.  I paused them to get on the flight, but it's been two days and I just got hooked up to wifi again.  I tried to press install, but it says 'an error has occured' and every time I try to hit install it says 'use purchases page to try again' but I'm on the purchases page.  Also, the icons are gone from my launchpad, but the games are not in my trash.

    Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the downloads.

  • Getting Error messages saying :  "There was an error downloading this update."

    Hi,
    I had always getting the following errors, when trying to update my PSE 9.x PPE 9.x and Photoshop Camera Raw.

    Hi,
    For PSE 9, it is best to download the updates and apply them manually - is that what you are trying?
    For Windows, see
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 update
    Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.5 update for Elements 9
    For MAC, see

    I am trying to upload my photos to iphoto. I keep receiving a error message that say "Iphoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image" What do i Do?!

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    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?

  • IPhoto says it cannot import my photos because there was a problem downloading an image, how do I fix this?

    Hello! So I have a Sandisk class 10 memory card and whenever I try to import photos onto iPhoto from the memory card it says "IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image". I have a Macbook Air and IPhoto 9.5.1.. I've tried a lot of what other people say on other questions like this and it still won't work! I've tried using image capture, creating a new library, and creating a new user to see if it worked there. I have enough space for the photos, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Please help, Thanks! 

    I had that happen a couple of times because even though the camera displayed the  picture there was a problem with the way it was saved to the chip - and that caused problems with all pictures after it.
    My version of IPhoto (ILIFE09) does show where the error occurs on direct import from the camera -- on the camera deleting the first picture where the error occurred allowed import of the others.   Once it was the first picture, once in the middle.
    Problem happened when I took a second picture before the first one was 100% finished saving.

  • I am unable to download all photos to computer.  At a certain photo I get the following message:  IPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image.  How can I go around this  image

    I am unable to import all photos to IPhoto on computer.  At a certain photo the following message appears:  IPhoto cannot import your photos
    because there was a problem downloading an image.  How can I circumvent this particular image and import all other photos?

    I'm having the same issue.  i have imported everything but the offending photo from my iPhone.  problem is, with over 5000 pics, i have no idea how to find THAT ONE pic that won't import (bc I just get a greyed out pic image - with no data in iPhoto)
    any idea how to get "date taken" info of THAT ONE pic out of iPhoto (or any metadata) so I don't have to search 3 years of pictures?
    and I do apologize for hijacking.
