.CR2 will not import into iphoto 08 7.1.5

I have a few hundred photos taken by a friend that i am trying to import into my iphoto library.
Getting an unrecognizable file message.
I shoot on a Canon XSi in RAW and have no issues importing to iphoto, Apature or photoshop....
her images were shot on a Canon TSi in RAW and will not import into any of my programs.

The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
IPhoto and Aperture support - or don't - the same cameras.

TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

Just installed Iphoto 6 and many photos will not import to Iphoto...

About half of my photos from one of my rolls from this Spring will not import into Iphoto6. I can open them up from my hard drive but they will not import into Iphoto. Any tips?

Chris:
Even though you've gotten back up and running if you have any thumbnails that show up as blanks again try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
The blank thumbnails after updating to v6 are often a result of permissions on the files getting messed up somehow preventing you from having access to them. Running BatChmod on the library folder as demonstrated will force the correct ownership and permissions on all of the files.

My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into Iphoto.

My Nikon 7100 RAW files will not load into IPhoto. The computer will recognize the files once the download is complete, but fails to finalize. My version of IPhoto is 7.1.5 and my computer is a Mid 2007 Mac Mini Model. I have Light Room 5, but my wife and I are prefer IPhoto for basic download and sharing. Is there a possibility of getting the RAW files to download ?

what version of the OS?
You need Mt Lion and iPhoto '09 for your camera RAW support - OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats -
If your computer will support tMavericks do the free upgrade to it and purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x in the App store

Problems with iTunes 8: NBC .m4v shows will not import into iPhone v2.02

I am a little confused. I have downloaded some NBC shows that are.m4v format, yet they will not import into my iPhone with iTunes 8. I receive the following error msg in iTunes when trying to sync:
Example "Mr. Monk Buys a House" was not copied to the iPhone
because it cannot be played on this iPhone.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to convert shows from iTunes to a different format before I can watch them?
PS Same error msg occurs with iTunes Podcast .mov format.
Any suggestions?

Well, after a little research in the iTunes Support Browser, Apple finally made the answer available.
Though Apple designs all products in iTunes to play on iPod type devices, the new HD programming will not.
The programs that are being "given away for free" are being promoted in HD format, and that's where the links on the iTunes page takes you. The iPhone 3G cannot handle HD programming, and thus the error message. (why couldn't they just have said that in the error msg, rather than have me go and look for half an hour. As my mother used to say, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
A couple of pointers for the free, give-away HD shows from NBC (iTunes way of telling NBC welcome back). These will not work on the iPhone 3G v2.02:
Mr. Monk Buys a House (HD)
Merit Badge: Pilot (HD)
30 Rock: Secrets and Lies (HD)
Battlestar Galactica, Season 4: He That Believeth in Me (HD)
etc.
Yes, if you look close enough in the show description, they are also making these available free in SD. Hope this research saves somebody a headache from buying the wrong programs.
You're welcome from a friend in Texas!

Bookmarks Safari 5.0.5 will not import into Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS 10.6.8

I am on Mac OS 10.6.8. When trying to import bookmarks from Safari 5.0.5, they will not import/display into Firefox 17.0.
I have tried the following from the bookmark menu:
Import Bookmarks from HTML...
Import Data from Another Browser...
No bookmarks display when I click ok for each, even after quitting and restarting firefox.
Am I doing something wrong?

Hello nureste, try the next : open Safari> File > Export Bookmarks and save the html file in your choice location, then open firefox, and as you known, Import Bookmarks from HTML... choose the html file with the safari bookmarks.

H.264 will not import into DVDSP?

So I have been searching several discussion forums and the question I have seems to pop up in each of them, but is never answered???
Simply put, I have a FCP 6 project sequence that is 720p24frame which is an editing timebase of 59.94 with an aspect ratio of 960by720.
This is an 8.5 minute piece so I know that it will fit onto a regular DVD-R.
So I go through compressor and compress it into both an MPEG2 and H.264 - each at an HD bit rate.
Then I set up an HD project in DVDSP and try to import the two. The MPEG goes in fine and burns with no problems. My BlueRay/HDDVD combo player is on its way in the mail so I can't test it, but it will not play in my SD DVD player. Then I try to import the H.264 - It states something to the effect of not a compatible format....
That is my question - Why will the H.264 not import into an HDDVD project in DVDSP - all of the settings are correct from the initial edit - through compressor - through DVDSP.
Thank you for anyone who can help - we have a large festival coming up that has the option of 35mm or HDDVDs (we cannot afford a print).

So...this issue is somewhat solved.
I have done several exports using the provided H.264 presets then tweaking them each to my own set specifics. There are four places in the formats sections of compressor that have H.264 as a codec - one of these is for iPod and web so I disregarded that one completely.
I always applied the same settings as to have a control base when doing this experiement - I haven't done a science project in probably 15 years. I also pushed the bit-rates to the highest level.
After many hours in and out of compressor and DVDSP, I found only one of of the presets loaded properly into DVDSP - the 60min under HDDVD H.264 preset (altered to my higher bit-rate)
I am still waiting on my player to try it out, but it did burn fine. This is all so strange since all of my own settings (bit-rate) and other data was constant.
Oh well...at least I've got one test completely burnt.

PHOTOS FROM IPHOTO WILL NOT IMPORT INTO CLIP VIEWER WHERE MOVIE IS CREATED

ok...please answer this question...i NEED it to be answered!!!!! When I try to put the Ken burns effect on a photo and then import it into the clip viewer, it will NOT let me!!!! Please H~E~L~P ME!!!!!!!!!
HELP ME!!!!!

Welcome to discussions!
You have not told us enough information to H~E~L~P you.
We need to know everything about your Mac, hard drive space (look at mine below). Go to "My Settings" at the right of this screen and fill out that information please.
In the meantime, i'll throw a couple of ideas your way:
If you are you trying to edit a previously imported image rendered by the Ken Burns Effect, there's an iMovie bug that prevents us from updating the clip when we empty the iMovie trash.

Iphone 5 videos from iPhoto will not import into FCP

Just bought FCP X and tried to import movies from iPhoto taken with my iPhone 5 and get a message that the file format is not supported. Any suggestions?

To late. The videos were downloaded into iPhoto and removed from the iPhone. I actually exported the videos to my desktop then imported them into FCPX without any problem. It would seem to me that I should be able to import directly. The video format (in iPhoto) is supported according to the apple web sight. Any thoughts?

Aperture 3 Places Data not Imported Into iPhoto

I tagged the location of a set of photos in Aperture 3 using Places. Then i went to iPhoto, and used the import from Aperture function to bring the whole set into iPhoto in a single move. One of the 24 images carried the Places data with it; the rest had no location associated with them. I suppose this is a bug, but if anyone else had this experience or has a suggestion for a fix, please weigh in. Thanks.

Ok, just discovered that it's not an issue with the handling of zero's in GPS coordinates, but a problem with filename or file paths containing invalid characters - I've had folders such as "FA Cup final (mum's photos)".
So I've picked up a tiny amount of apple script and tweaked the code some more. PLEASE CAN I STRESS I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT APPLE SCRIPT SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK; it does work fine for me though!

Fascinate video will not load into iphoto on macbook

my mp4 video opens in quicktime player. I "saved as" in quicktime to a .mov file.
neither the mp4 or the .mov file will load into iphoto.
iphoto error message says, "could not be imported, unrecognizable format."
I tried a new SD card and new video file, no help.

You said that the quicktime video was in the .mp4 format and the saved as a .mov format. I'm not sure but if you are trying to get them into iphoto is iphoto looking for a .jpg format?

My iphone photos will not upload into iphoto?

When I try to upload my iphone photos into my iphoto it will load the photos but will not let me import the photos. I have tried several times and even let it sit over night, it seems to stay frozen and will not let me upload them. I need to create more space on my phone but it will not allow me to upload photos on iphoto? What can I do? Is there another program to upload my photos into?

Movies from my sony 7.2mp camera will not import into imovie?

hey guys,
im trying to import my videos from my sony cybershot digital camera into imovie and its mpeg, but further researching this problem imovie is supposed to reformat it automatically. i tried to do an import from "file" and selecting the video but it will not let me select the video, then i tried dragging it from finder into imovie but it just slides right off, THEN i tried to drag it from desktop to imovie and still did not work. if any1 can help me solve this id greatly appreciate it...thanks!

I just had the same problem yesterday trying to import video clips into iMovie from my Sony Cybershot camera and this is what I learned. iMovie evidently does not support every digital camera format. My clips were also mpeg and start with MOV. Evidently, they need to be converted to another format such as .dv; mpg4 or h.264 - the best quality being the .dv, as I understand it. You can do a web search for Video Converter programs that will do this conversion (some are free downloads). I found that I already had a program on my computer called Roxio Toast Titanium that easily converted my clips to .dv by just dragging them into the video pane and then hitting the Export button. Once the clips were converted to .dv, they imported easily and worked perfectly in iMovie. Good Luck!

Aperture will not import my iphoto library

When trying to import my iphoto library to aperture 3 I get a warning that says: Importing libraries from versions earlier than iPhoto 7.1.5 is not supported. Please upgrade your iPhoto library with iPhoto 7.1.5 or later. But my iPhoto is the most up to date version available 9.2.1 so I do not understand why I would get this warning, heck I don't even think my iPhoto was EVER that old. PLEASE HELP!

Ok so I think I got aperture to import my iPhoto library, well actually I know I did although it's either not complete or I'm not happy with how they apear and are all marked as iPhoto ariginals.
But I had backed up my iPhoto library by draggin the file "iPhoto Library" in my Pictures folder to an external drive earlier and this time I when in Aperture 3 I clicked File > Import > Import iPhoto Library I chose the one off the external instead of the original and it worked right away. So no idea why it would not work off the original but at least I got it.
And your link I think was fine, I am useing Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 and for some reason when I click links safari likes to add https// to the beginning of each link or address even if it's already there let alon is not putting the colling in so it really is https// instead of http:// but thats another story. I am begining to wonder if I should have just upgraded to OS X Lion instead of the unreleased Mountain Lion as I'm guessing there will not be many updates to it till they actually release it to the public.
But if anyone else was having the iPhoto Library issue, just back it up by dragging it somewhere else than importing to aperture 3 and your all good! And thanks for refering that Frank, the help was appreciated very much.

File name not importing into iPhoto

I keep my photos on an external disk and import them from that disk into iPhoto. When I import, sometimes the file name is imported into the caption field and sometimes it does not.
Any ideas why? I have search for others posts but can't find any. I did check the permissions of the files representing both results and the permissions are the same.

What is displayed in the title field under the thumbnails?
Have you tried selecting the offending photos, going to the Photos->Batch Change menu and selecting Title to File Name option?
